We study theoretically a dynamics of the 
-Josephson junction, with direct coupling between magnetic moment and Josephson current, which shows features reminiscent of a Kapitza pendulum. We find that, starting with the magnetization along the z-axis, the character of the magnetization dynamics changes crucially as a stable position of the magnetic moment 
is realized between the z- and y-axes, depending on the values of the system parameters. Changes in critical current and spin-orbit interaction lead to different stability regions for the magnetization. Excellent agreement is obtained between analytical and numerical results at low values of the Josephson–to–magnetic-energy ratio.
