Cornelius Agrippa's Jupiter & Sirius Talisman
for Prosperity and Good Fortune
Now the fair goddess, Fortune,
Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms
Misguide thy opposers’ swords! Bold gentleman,
Prosperity be thy page!
Coriolanus William Shakespeare
This month has provided an number of excellent
elections. This week we combine Jupiter, the Greater Benefic
with the Dog Star, Sirius. Good elections for Jupiter will cease in August 2002 and
an equally auspicious election will not recur until 2006!
The English astrologer
William Lilly says that Jupiter, when well dignified, signifies,
"...Then is he Magnanimous, Faithfull, Bashfull, Aspiring in an
honourable way at high matters, in all his actions a Lover of fair Dealing,
desiring to benefit all men, doing
Glorious things, Honourable and Religious, of sweet and affable Conversation,
wonderfully indulgent to
his Wife and Children, reverencing Aged men, a great Reliever of the Poor,
full of Charity and
Godlinesse, Liberal, hating all Sordid actions, Just, Wife, Prudent, Thankfull,
Vertuous..."
Christian Astrology, page 62.
The Renaissance mage
Cornelius Agrippa says that a talisman of Jupiter,
"[C]onduceth to gain, and
riches, favor, and love, peace, and concord, and to appease enemies,
to confirm honors, dignities, and counsels..."
Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Bk II, Chapter 22.
The fixed star, Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, is
similarly auspicious. Cornelius
Agrippa says that,
"Under the Greater Dog Star, they made an image of an hound
and a little virgin; it bestoweth honour and good will, and the favor of men,
and aerial spirits, and giveth the power to pacify and reconcile kings, princes,
and other men."
Three Books of Occult Philosophy Bk. II, Chapter 47,
(Tyson ed.) page 395. See the election for
Agrippa's Sirius Talisman for more information.
The time chosen for
the election is May 15, 2002 at 4:32 pm EDT in Cleveland Park,
a neighborhood of Washington,
D.C. 38 N 56, 77 W 03.
Jupiter is conjunct the Midheaven
and well dignified in her exaltation
Cancer. Jupiter is conjunct the
benefic fixed star Sirius.
The Moon, important in any election,
is also dignified in her sign
Cancer and is applying to
a conjunction of Jupiter and Sirius. The Moon is waxing.
