The Hexagram

Correspondances of points in hexagram:

  1. Binah, and the Sphere of Saturn (Shabbatai)
  2. Chesed and the Sphere of Jupiter (Tzedek)
  3. Geburah and the Sphere of Mars (Madim)
    Tiferet and the Sphere of Sol (Shemesh) occupy the center
  4. Netzach and the the Sphere of Venus (Nogah)
  5. Hod and the Sphere of Mercury (Kokab)
  6. Yesod and the Sphere of Luna (Levanah)

These are numbered above so as to trace the Lightning Flash. The Supernals (Keter, Chokmah and Binah) and Malkuth are not shown on the Hexagram.

The triangles in the hexagram are traced clockwise for invoking, counter-clockwise for banishing. Trace the first triangle from the point of the planet to be invoked/banished, and trace the second from the opposite point. This gives:

Planet Invoking Banishing
Saturn 1,4,5; 6,3,2 1,5,4; 6,2,3
Jupiter 2,6,3; 5,1,4 2,3,6; 5,4,1
