#benefics

Venus, Jupiter and Sun are abundant and giving.

The rest of the planets are receptive in one way or another.

Saturn receives and limits/crystalizes

Mercury receives and manipulates

Ketu receives and absorbs completely

Rahu receives and projects outwardly

Moon receives gives back the smoothed mixture of what it recieved

Mars receives and builds/protects.

Out of these, Mars and Rahu look active, but they are not energetically abundant. Mars can sometimes be tho, depending on how much of the energy is left in them, but it's still not giving, it's protective.

The three giving plantes do not give in the same way either.

Venus only gives to whom and what it considers worthy but then, when it chooses, it gives its all.

Jupiter gives to everyone and everything, especially to those who it thinks need it most.

Their experience and view of the world oozes poetry because they are constantly seeking meaning and beauty in things that make us FEEL.

A Hymn for the Benefic Conjunction, the annual meeting of Jupiter and Venus (with some notes about the meeting in Taurus on 22-23 May 2024).

Venus and Jupiter together, the annual Conjunction of the Benefics, takes place on May 23, 2024, in the early morning hours of Thursday 23 May 2024 at 4:16 am EDT. This year is especially delightful, because it takes place in one of the two signs that is ruled by Venus, and in the anaretic degree (which is a fancy astrological way of saying “last” — and which brings a special empowerment to its…

I’ve discussed some of the implications of the concept of Sect here before, specifically the idea of the Sect Light and what that might mean in terms of identifying with your chart. Today I’m going to go a bit deeper into the concept and provide you with a workable foundation to continue experimenting with this concept in your practice.

It’s not just the Sun and Moon that wax and wane in power dependent on whether it is day or night, but also the benefics and malefics as well. These are organized in to “teams” if you will, and in a chart that matches their sect these planets do much better. That is to say, in a chart that matches its sect a benefic will be more powerful and thus better able to manifest its blessings for a native. In a chart that matches its sect a malefic will be less likely to manifest the negative extremes of its capabilities, and in some cases you might see “positive” benefit from them. Should the chart not match its sect, a planet would be less able to bear beneficial fruit. A benefic is less capable of providing positive outcome, and a malefic is more capable of providing negative outcome.

REMEMBER, this concept is the VERY BASIC starting point of determining planetary power and what a given planet may manifest in a lifetime, so hold the dramatics until you master all the techniques that deal with this. There are many other things at play that would modify how these might play out, so it’s not a guarantee that your life is shit should you have a planet out of sect. (It should be clear that it is impossible to have all the planets in sect, and life is not all sunshine and daisies.)

The Sect alignments are as follows:

Diurnal (Day) Sect:

Sun

Jupiter

Saturn

Nocturnal (Night) Sect:

Moon

Venus

Mars

trines of benefics are great events to always look forward to and while they are not uncommon overall, this one is rather special. both planets are not just powerful but in exaltation. it isn't quite that bad things don't happen at all, but definitely the next few days should be a period full of love, ease, and depending on your houses, maybe also a lot of money.

i LOVE this conjunction always but especially in cancer as it is now! the two most benefic vibes of the sky combine but jupiter, the so-called greater benefic, is EXALTED in cancer so it is very, very powerful.

i'm not saying nothing bad can happen but i am saying there is a lot of hope - not aimless, irrational hope but logical, good reasons to be hopeful, and also that good things happen along side anything bad or inconvenient or even tragic. plus borderline miraculous vibes here.
