3) CHOOSING A PROPITIOUS MOMENT: You can just go with the transiting
aspect and planetary hour, but if you like doing calculations you
can refine the technique further by using a table of houses to see
whether a natal or transiting planet (preferably the one which rules
whatever it is you are praying for) crosses any of the four angles
during the planetary hour in question. However, this isn’t
all that important, so if you don’t know how to do these calculations,
don’t worry about it.
Now that you have found a propitious time to launch your prayer,
you must consider the form that your prayer will take. Write down
ahead of time exactly what you want, so that you don’t forget
anything when the time comes. However, it’s best not to be
too specific in what you’re asking for, such as to win the
lottery, or to have such-and-such a person fall in love with you.
It’s best just to ask for wealth, or love from some unnamed
person. Let the Spirit handle the details – it knows what
it’s doing.
If you have an accustomed mode of prayer, then just pray the way
you usually do. If not, then you can adapt this formula to suit
your own taste and needs: “Spirit – please bring me
(whatever you are asking for), and please bring it to me really
soon! Thank you!” It’s important that you say “really
soon”, or else any contradictory subconscious agendas
you may have will use this loophole to defeat the prayer. It’s
also important to say “thank you” at the end, as a reminder
that the Spirit doesn’t owe you (or anybody) anything. After
all, the Spirit has given us life; after that anything else is gravy.
When the time draws near, prepare a little altar with something
that symbolizes the Spirit above it (this can be a picture of Jesus
if you’re a Christian, or just a cut-out picture of an eye,
or whatever symbolizes the Spirit for you). Put a stick of sweet-smelling
incense on the altar, and a candle whose color symbolizes what you’re
asking for (green for money, pink for love, white for health or
spiritual illumination, etc.). Also put on the altar objects which
symbolize what you want (money if you want money; cut-out pictures
of lovers if you want love; pictures of healthy, active people if
you want health, etc.).
Just prior to the chosen time light the incense; and then, at the
precise moment chosen for the prayer, light the candle. Then recite
the prayer you’ve written down. It’s okay to read it,
but you should do this with feeling – true longing
for whatever it is that you want. Picture in your mind’s eye
your prayer coming true as you pray, and let yourself feel all the
joy you would feel if your prayer came true. Don’t worry about
whether you are doing it right; if you’re doing it in good
faith with true longing, then you’re doing it right.
If you don’t feel comfortable with all the ritual, you can
dispense with it. The ritual is just for your own sake, to lend
a sense of importance and ceremony to the occasion – not to
impress the Spirit. The only things of importance are to pray with
true longing, at a propitious time.
When you finish your prayer, leave the area and let the incense
and candle burn down, and then dismantle the altar and dispose of
what’s left of the candle and incense by burying them. Once
a prayer has been launched there’s no need to repeat it unless
you feel your own resolve weakening and want to strengthen it.
Sometimes astrologically guided prayer works so fast that the results
are startling. At other times, when there are powerful contradictory
subconscious agendas in place, it takes a while for your prayer
to come true; but nonetheless you ought to be able to feel your
prayer working right away in the sense of feeling your inner obstructions
dissolving and your inner attitude changing. Be assured that prayer
carried out in good faith always works, so don’t waste prayer
on anything frivolous, since then you’re committed to it.
Be sure you really want what you’re praying for. Good luck!
