On 11 April, Jupiter will be Cazimi in Aries, which will not happen again until April 2035. The exact time frame for the Cazimi phase will be between 12:54 PM UT, on 11 April and 7:18 AM UT, the following day.
To be cazimi, which is also called “to be in the heart of the Sun”, a planet has to be within 17.5 minutes of the Sun’s position. The 17th Century astrologer William Lilly wrote about it in his Christian Astrology, stating that:
“All authors do hold a planet in Cazimi to be fortified thereby…” (CA p113)
For those who would like to make use of Jupiter’s gifts, in form of a ritual, a talisman, or just want to make the most of the positive energy, here is a reminder of Jupiter’s attributes:
In his dignified expression, Jupiter is beneficial to life, representing abundance, growth, but also justice, modesty and sobriety. Generally, this is a fortunate aspect, indicating enthusiasm, success, even fortune, and encourages us to make positive decisions. He also sometimes points towards the successful completion of a project.
Key words for Jupiter in Aries are: Benevolence, generosity, and fidelity.
All of this should be enhanced by the close conjunction to the Sun.
(Heinrich Friedrich Füger – Jupiter Enthroned)
To create a planetary talisman, one will need to place Cazimi Jupiter on the Ascendant or Midheaven, which is location specific. It will not be possible to do this in the UK, but the chart below shows the election for New York, as an example.
In Camillo Leonardi’s Mirror of Stones, which has recently been translated into English by Margherita Fiorello (read my review here) we find that the images of Jupiter, engraved on a stone called kabrates (smoky quartz) suggest that:
“] the wearer will be lucky and charming and easily gets what he wants …” (p27)
Images for Jupiter are of a man sitting on a throne, holding a rod and a globe in his hands, or of a man wit a ram’s head and hooves instead of feet.
Jupiter stones, which could also be used to make a talisman, are amethyst, lapis lazuli, sapphire, topaz, and zircon. More details about Jupiter stones can be found in my book Stars and Stones, an Astro-Magical Lapidary.
Below is the chart for the elected time, cast for New York. I would like to point out again that these elections are location specific! If you wish to create a Cazimi Jupiter talisman, make sure that Jupiter IS Cazimi when on the ASC or MC, or ask an experienced astrologer for help and advice.
