Solar exercise

The Sun is currently exalted in Aries as many occultists out there should know and it's not as such because precession (or procession, to quote some wannabe bigshot dork). It is also in its triplicity and thus it is even more powerful. Within a few days it will enter its decan and it's power will grow a bit more.

Therefore, I propose the following exercise in which the person actively works with the energies of the Sun (because contrary to what some fuckheads say, celestial energies do affect life on Earth and I'm not solely referring to solar radiation). The exercise is quite simple, can basically be done at any time and requires no tootls or fetishes or whatever, but one can make use of whatever paraphernalia they fancy. It should obviously be performed when it's sunny outside and if a cloud happens to block out sunlight after you've started you can do #4 until it passes or end the whole thing depending on circumstances.

1. On a Sunday when the Sun is on the Midheaven (because exaltation - see here) you are to face the solar disk. It's best to have your abdomen uncovered or at least the area of your solar plexus. If you can do it skyclad, even better. Keep your eyes open or closed depending on your preferences (and wearing shades would be recommend). 

2. Visualize your solar plexus opening and receiving solar energies. You can visualize them in the form of a beam or golden light (yellow, orange or even pink) or in whichever way you fancy. 

3. Inhale and visualize your solar plexus drawing in more solar energies. Exhale and visualize those solar energies spreading throughout your body as if you are inflating yourself with them. With every breath spread those energies more thoroughly. Get them to the tip of your toes, to your butt crack, your armpits, the back of your head, all your organs, etc. As you're doing rhis imagine all the nasty energetic goo oozing out of you through your skin and being burned away.

4. Continue #3 until you feel you are full. When that happens you can either end it or continue to contemplate the energies inside you by observing if you feel any changes or sensations in certain areas. A tingling sensation should be the most common although others might also arise. If so, keep that in mind or write it down as those areas might need further investigation later on. Not that you'd be sick in whatever part of the body you feel anything, but it's a sign there was an energetic imbalance there.

5. Your done. Do as you please.

Besides the obvious purpose of charging one's self with higly potent solar energies and possibly identifying sensitive spots of the not so pretty kind inside of you, this exercise can also be used to improve your self as a whole. Draw in the energies and imagine them increasing your confidence or your overall image, for instance. Draw them in and direct them to areas that are or have been affected by health issues and imagine them acting towards healing those spots. I'm sure you can come up with more purposes. 

If your environment allows you can burn some frankincense while doing this. You can also light a candle should you want although I see no reason for that. Recite the Orphic hymn to the Sun before you start or use something the likes of these solar calls while adapting them to your needs, and so forth. 

Now, you can technically do this every day when the Sun is on the MC, but I said Sunday because the energies of the day are way more in tune with those of the Sun, obviously. And for all ye wannabe whatnots that advocate for the day AND hour, keep in mind the Sun is not on the MC during its second hour on a Sunday for many people out there due to season and latitude. 

For example, if you live close to the 45* parallel in the northern hemisphere like me, the second hour of the Sun on a Sunday finds the Sun somewhere in the area of the sky corresponding to the ninth house this time of year. What do we know about the ninth house? Besides the fact it's the House of God where the Sun rejoices according to the ancients, it's also a cadent house meaning we can't do much with any energies that act through there because they're out of our reach for the most part. A simplistic comparison would be, based on this example, you can't reach God that easily (no matter how great of a wannabe you want to come across).

So next time you're sunbathing know you can do some magical work as well besides getting that pretty tan you're aiming for. The vest part is you don't have to be involved in the occult to do this, let alone be some kind of bigshot magicianist.

Hate on, dum-dums!
