Cazimi

Cazimi is a traditional term for a planet within 17 arc-minutes (about 0.28 degrees) of exact conjunction with the Sun. While planets near the Sun are generally weakened by combustion, a cazimi planet is considered to be "in the heart of the king" -- sitting on the throne and receiving the Sun's full power and protection. Cazimi moments are rare and extremely potent, marking brief windows of extraordinary clarity and empowerment related to the cazimi planet's significations. In natal charts, a cazimi planet is one of the most powerful placements possible.
