A Candle Ceremony to Jupiter - Ajarn Apichai Sunday May 17
   On May 31st, a major planetary shift will occur. Jupiter, the most auspicious planet among the 12 zodiac signs will move into its most powerful position, known as Maha-Ut (Exalted). This extraordinary alignment, where Jupiter’s energy is at its peak, happens only once every 12 years, and the world will start to climb out of this mess.
The Significance of Jupiter
   In Thai astrology, Jupiter is the ‘Great Benefic’ and the leader of all auspicious planets. It governs human destiny and world events. When Jupiter is well-positioned: It brings a period of good fortune, success, wealth, and vibrant health. When Jupiter is poorly positioned: One may face obstacles, bad luck, health issues, or misfortune. However, the specific impact depends on an individual’s original birth chart.
The Purpose of the Ceremony
The Candle Lighting Ceremony to welcome Jupiter’s Exalted transit is an act of worship toward the planet and its presiding deity - the God of Success, Fortune, Wisdom, and the ‘Great Teacher’ of all things.
For those with a favourable transit: The ceremony amplifies and doubles the positive effects.
For those with an unfavourable transit: The ceremony acts as a shield, mitigating negative impacts and protecting the individual from misfortune.
The Power of the Ritual Candles
These sacred candles serve multiple spiritual purposes:
Planetary Alignment: They empower Jupiter within your birth chart and enhance the positive energy of the current transit while suppressing negative influences.
Sacred Connection: They strengthen the connection to one’s spiritual teachers, sacred objects, and amulets. Since Jupiter represents the ‘Teacher’s Power,’ this ritual brings auspicious blessings to all objects of worship.
Manifestation: They invoke fortune, prosperity, happiness, and health.
Intellectual Growth: They specifically aid in academic success, exams, competitions, and the study of specialised fields like occultism, astrology, and various professional sciences.
Life Wisdom: They grant the mindfulness and clarity needed to solve life’s problems and overcome obstacles.
A Note on Longevity: Ancient beliefs suggest that honouring Jupiter annually can extend one’s life and rejuvenate one’s destiny. It is believed that even those facing severe illness or total failure can experience a great turnaround, softening even the harshest of karmic outcomes.
How to Perform the Ritual
   When the candles are being lit, clear your mind and focus on the virtues of the Buddha, your respected teachers, and the Deity of Jupiter. Sincerely pray to receive the planet's positive energy and blessings.
If you are able to chant, use the following mantra. If not, simply maintaining a meditative and focused state while praying is sufficient.
Jupiter Mantra
Pa Sam Sam Wi Sa Tae Pa x 5 or 19 times, according to your intention.
