Techniques of Empowerment: Binding the Evil Spirit of the Natal Chart

This the opposite of the previous operation in a sense. I also strongly recommend that you have completed the work of the previous post before you attempt this work.

The natal chart also recognizes that you have your own personal devil or evil spirit. In Hellenic astrology the 12th house was named the Kakodaimon of the “Evil Spirit.” For this reason I would look to the 12th house to identify the nature of the this spirit, but Agrippa indicates that the 6th house might also be used. This house is also known as the house of misfortune, so it makes sense why Agrippa and his sources may have looked to the 6th house.
One of the ways of determining the nature of the Evil Spirit is to look at the planet that rules the 12th house. The sign that rules the 12th house, its ruling planet indicates the nature of the Evil Spirit. That nature will show you that inner parts where you have difficulty, but it will also show exterior areas of life which can be challenging for you in various ways. For example, if Jupiter is the lord, the inner problem may be a tendency towards overeating, but also of being an ignorant blowhard who takes contrary positions for no reason. Externally it may make you wasteful with money, and drawn to people who will feed your vanity and arrogance. Mars being the ruler, internally it may make you dishonest and self centered, taking actions only for your benefit, regardless of how it may hurt others. Externally it may make you drawn to arguments which you will lose, and also willing to do anything, ANYTHING, to win.
With that in mind, you can then derive a means of binding this evil spirit to restrict it’s abilities to cause you harm. It is usually the best practice to have a specific name of this evil spirit to bind it with. Just as there are systems for deriving names from the natal chart for the good spirit, there are also methods of deriving names of the evil spirit. This is usually the opposite of the good spirit, using a kind of reverse and inverse method. You can also look to psychic ability to discern a name, or engage in divination outside of astrology for the name.
Once you have a name, even if it just “My personal devil” or “The evil spirit” etc, and you know it’s nature from looking at the 12th house, or making opposite calculations of the hyleg planets of your chart, that will give you insight into the weaknesses of the spirit. For example, if the nature is of Mars, you can look to the planets that are not harmonious with Mars, which are quite a few. Venus is a strong contender, as Venus is said to nullify the afflictions of Mars. But Saturn is also effective, as it is cold and dark compared to the light and heat that fiery Mar is is to possess. The cooling waters of the Moon also make a good choice.
Whereas if the spirits nature is Mercury, You might think Saturn, but it is said that Mercury is the only planet that is harmonious with Saturn. Other good choices are Jupiter, which is said to be the panacea of Saturnian afflictions, but the Sun or the Moon are also good. The Sun bringing light into Saturn’s darkness, and warmth and good things, while the Moon also brings light, but it is also fast compared to Saturn’s slowness, and changeable compared to Saturn’s enduring and constant nature. Here is a quick list of planets that make good oppositions.
Saturn – Sun, Moon, Jupiter
Jupiter – Saturn, Mercury, Mars
Mars – Saturn, Venus, Moon
Sun – Saturn, Moon
Venus – Mars, Saturn, Jupiter
Mercury – Jupiter, Mars
Moon – Saturn, Sun, Mars
.Another consideration for the opposing planet is which one seems to be contrary to how that afflicting planet maybe manifesting your life. Isolated and depressed and Saturn? Go to Jupiter. Raging and Vengeful from Mars? Go to Venus or the Moon to cool that hot head and become more forgiving and peace inclined.
Once you the preceding information, pick a day of the week that corresponds with your goal. Starting in the first planetary hour of the day, which starts are sunrise, Collect all of your tools together. You’re going to need:
Paper

Calamus Root chips

Knot Weed

John the Conqueror root chips

Beeswax or wax in general

a colored candle that corresponds to the contrary planet.

String or thread that corresponds to the contrary planet.

Oil and incense of the contrary planet.

One a small piece of paper, write down the name of the spirit and then write your name over it crosswise so the spirit’s name is covered by your name completely. Fold that piece of paper up into a small square, and take some softened beeswax and some chips of High John the Conqueror, Calamus, and Knotweed and form a small ball with the paper at the middle, and the wax and herb chips surrounding it. Take the colored string and start wrapping that wax ball in string until you get a ball of string around it, kind of like a jack ball. Tie the string off once you have finished. I made mine about the size of golf ball, but feel free to follow your intuition in making the ball as big or as small as you want. Take a candle in the color of the opposing planet, anointed with the planetary oil, and drip that wax on the ball until it is covered again in that wax. Once this ball is complete, you can then choose how you want to store it. The best option is to store it in a container that is filled and reflects the opposing planet. A blue or white box for Jupiter, for example. But then you may keep the box in a naturally Jupiterian space, like up high, in a well lit area, surrounded with images plenty, abundance, or images of major well know religions, especially if your area, like Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism etc… A Mars spirit is greatly weakened by being stuck in a freezer, in a sense turning it into a freezer spell to chill the fire and heat of Mars. A Solar spirit placed into a black container that is sealed against light and placed into a cool dark place to stem the light and heat of the evil solar spirit. An evil Venus spirit might be kept in a metal box of ammo or knives, in the dark, and away from social gatherings or pleasant places where flowers, music or art is found. All of this is meant to minimize and reduce the influence of the evil spirit and to place it under your control so you can address those problems more easily.
You do actually want to keep this item around, but again, restrained. The idea being that you have bound this spirit and made it completely subject to your will. Just tossing it to make it leave isn’t the best use of it, and keeping it under lock and key, and under heel is better.
