Sun in Leo talisman elections

“The fourth table is of the Sun, and is made of a square of six, and contains thirty six numbers, whereof six in every side, and Diameter, produce 111, and the sum of all is 666. There are over it divine names with an Intelligency to what is good, with spirit to what is evil, and out of it is drawn Characters of the Sun, and the spirits thereof. This being engraven on a Golden plate with the Sun being fortunate, renders him that wears it to be renowned, amiable, acceptable, potent in all his works, and equals a man to Kings, and Princes, elevating him to high fortunes, inabling to do whatsoever he pleaseth …”

Henry Cornelius Agrippa, 3 Books of Occult Philosophy

Next fortnight we see the Sun ingress into its own sign of Leo. Here the Sun expresses itself in its most powerful and unrestrained form. Being at home in Leo, the Sun is relaxed, magnanimous and more likely to listen to petitions.

If we wish to capture some of the glorious light and warmth of this planetary essence in the hopes of harnessing this solar influence to improve our lives, to obtain honour, the friendship of the powerful, to be noticed, for wealth, success or health, there is no better time to make a solar talisman.

“Seek from the Sun those petitions that are appropriate to him, such as petitions against kings, the sons of warriors and kings, exalted people who delight in justice and truth and abhor falsehood and violence, desirous of good reputation and seeking popular acclaim, officials, clergy, physicians, philsophers, exalted people who are humble, perceptive and magnanimous, older brothers, fathers, and the like.”

The Picatrix, transl. John Michael Greer & Christopher Warnock

Whether it is fame and renown, wealth or preferment, the Sun provides for them all just as his light and warmth provides for all on Earth.

It is not, however, merely enough to have the Sun at home to receive his favours, we also need to ensure that he is properly placed to aid us. The following elections do just that – at least for those living in London, UK – and are the most potent times to create a Sun talisman.

The Elections

In both of these elections, the Sun is rising and strong in Leo, it is unafflicted, and it is the Hour of the Sun. The Moon is waxing, she is peregrine but otherwise unafflicted.

The time is 5:47am on Sunday 12 August 2018.

The time is 5:58am on Sunday 19 August 2018.

The Pixatrix suggests a few images we can use to draw on our talismans:

A woman standing in a chariot drawn by four horses, a mirror in her right hand, a stick held above her breast in her left hand, and flowers above her head

A man standing, as if to salute someone, with a buckler in his left hand and a dragon under his feet

A crowned king sitting on his throne, with a crow before him and some secret sigils of the Sun beneath his feet

All of these images express the royal power of the Sun and depict his place of honour amongst the planets in the heavens.
