Introduction
What is a Horoscope?
A horoscope is a prediction or insight about a person’s future or character based on the position of the stars, planets, and celestial bodies at the time of their birth. It is usually represented in the form of a chart or diagram (called a natal chart or birth chart), and interpreted using the principles of astrology and 12 zodiac signs.
What is Hashimi Horoscope?
Hashimi Hproscope is based on the 28 real stars or lunar mansions, known as Manāzil al-Qamar, which form an Islamic celestial system based on the Moon’s nightly movement across the sky, historically used for calendars, agriculture, weather prediction, and even personality reflection. In this table, we offer a symbolic yet thoughtful model to explore human personality traits as potentially influenced, not by stars themselves, but by the seasonal, environmental, and psychological conditions surrounding one’s time of birth.
While Islamic and scientific traditions do not recognize astrological determinism, both acknowledge the undeniable role of birth season, circadian timing, and climatic factors in shaping human development. Medical studies show links between season of birth and traits like mood, cognition, and susceptibility to certain disorders. Analytical psychologist Carl Jung also proposed that universal archetypes and symbolic cycles influence the collective and personal unconscious, aligning deeply with recurring natural patterns, such as those observed in lunar cycles. This model uses an advanced form of Carl Jung’s Archetypes.
Therefore, this model approaches the Manāzil as symbolic mirrors of inner potential, representing both light traits (strengths, aptitudes) and shadow traits (challenges, risks). The aim is not prediction but reflection—to invite self-understanding through the ancient sky’s metaphorical language, tempered with scientific insight and spiritual humility.
Key Differences Between the Hashimi Horoscope and Western Horoscopes
Aspect | Western Horoscopes | Hashimi Horoscope |
---|---|---|
Basis of System | Western tropical zodiac (12 signs, 30° each, solar-based) | Lunar mansions (28 stages of the Moon’s monthly path) |
Celestial Focus | Position of the Sun at birth with respect to zodiac signs | Greco-Roman, Babylonian, and later adapted in Europe |
Claimed Influence | Stars and planets directly shape personality and fate | No direct influence of stars—seasonal and psychological symbolism only |
Theological Perspective | Often deterministic; sometimes considered shirk in Islam | Symbolic, reflective, avoids determinism—aligned with Islamic caution |
Scientific Support | Lacks empirical basis | Aligns with medical/psychological research on season-of-birth effects |
Philosophical Lens | Inspired by Jungian psychology, traits emerge from inner archetypes | Position of the Moon and its mansion at the time of birth |
Use of Shadows and Light | Mostly focused on positive personality traits per sign | Balances both “Light” (strengths) and “Shadow” (challenges) traits |
Purpose | Prediction of future events and compatibility | Reflection on personality traits only, without any future prediction |
Cultural Roots | Greco-Roman, Babylonian, later adapted in Europe | Islamic-era astronomy + cross-cultural lunar tracking (Arab, Mesopotamian) |
Why This Matters
The Hashimi model stays clear of astrological determinism and instead emphasizes:
- Environmental psychology (season of birth, climate)
- Medical science (circadian rhythms, hormonal cycles)
- Analytical psychology (Carl Jung’s archetypes and shadow work)
- Symbolism from Islamic lunar mansions without claiming spiritual powers
Summary in One Line:
Traditional horoscopes claim the stars control you — our model uses the moon’s rhythms to help you understand yourself.

Sun’s Journey Through the Lunar Mansions
How to find a Marriage-Match?
Qur’anic Celestial Family Symbols (Surah Yusuf, 12:4)
“Yusuf said to his father: ‘O my father! I saw [in a dream] eleven stars, and the sun and the moon — I saw them prostrating to me.'”
(Surah Yusuf 12:4)
The classical tafsir literature explains:
- The Sun = Father (Ya‘qub ﷺ)
- The Moon = Mother
- The Eleven Stars (Kawakib) = Eleven brothers
So the Qur’an clearly uses celestial bodies as symbolic representations of family members.
The Qur’anic narrative in Surah Yousuf suggests a two-tiered model:
Sun = Who am I?
Moon = Whom I Seek / Who Reflects My Inner Longing?
Sun Position at Birth
→ Defines the individual’s own traits (personality, strengths, inner nature).
Moon Position at Birth
→ Points to the suitable traits of a future spouse, i.e., the ideal partner could be someone whose Sun (or core personality) corresponds to the lunar mansion the Moon was in at the individual’s birth.
Let’s Reflect on This Model:
It proposes a relational archetype — where a person’s inner emotional needs (Moon) seek harmony with the personality traits (Sun) of another.
This aligns beautifully with:
- Jungian psychology, where the anima/animus (inner feminine/masculine aspects) influence what we seek in others.
- Modern relationship psychology, which suggests that our subconscious emotional needs seek out balancing traits in a partner.
- Islamic ethics, where marriage is not fate-based but harmony-seeking within divine decree.
- For a Boy:
- Find the Sun’s position → His own traits (who he is).
- Find the Moon’s lunar mansion at his birth → This represents the traits he emotionally seeks in a partner.
- For a Girl:
- The same principle can apply, or we could flip it:
- Her Sun = Her personality
- Her Moon = Her emotional resonance and what kind of partner fits her psychological/emotional world.
- The same principle can apply, or we could flip it:
Potential Marriage Insight Table Format
Person’s Moon in… (Manzil) | Ideal Spouse’s Personality (Sun in…) | Why |
---|---|---|
Al-Thuraya (Moon) | Al-Thuraya (Sun) | Needs brilliance, sociability, lightness |
Ad-Debaran (Moon) | Ad-Debaran (Sun) | Seeks loyalty, emotional grounding |
Al-Haq’ah (Moon) | Al-Haq’ah (Sun) | Attracted to clarity, honesty, calm logic |
So, the Moon’s mansion at birth = Ideal Sun (trait set) of the spouse.
Strengths of Our Model
- Blends celestial cycles with psychology without violating Islamic principles.
- Treats Sun = self, Moon = need.
- Makes space for personal reflection, not fatalism.
Disclaimer: A Reflective, Not Prescriptive Model
This trait-based interpretation of the Manāzil al-Qamar (Lunar Mansions) is intended for self-reflection, cultural appreciation, and spiritual symbolism. It is not predictive, nor does it claim causal links between the moon’s position and personal fate. Rather, it draws upon:
