Hello xqbly, At last! at the beginning of 2022 Jupiter has finally entered his own sign of Pisces. After almost two years that Jupiter was traveling in the signs of Saturn (Capricorn and Aquarius) where his powers are considerably weakened, he is finally released from the cold and restrictive Saturnian grip, entering the fertile life-generating sea of the Sign Pisces. Pisces is traditionally ruled by Jupiter (together with Sagittarius) and when visiting this sign, once every twelve years, he amplifies and expands his feminine/nocturnal aspect, awakening emotional inspiration, higher intuition, creativity and imagination, spiritual connection, faith and devotion. New Jupiter in Pisces Talismans Jupiter in Pisces Talismans For the ancients, Jupiter was considered ‘The Great Benefic’, the most gracious and bountiful of all the planets. Jupiter signifies the principle of augmentation, generating prolific powers of growth, in mind, body and soul. He is the bringer of abundance and support and helps in guiding us to the realms of higher wisdom and understanding. As Jupiter travels in Pisces in the coming months, we will find suitable astrological windows to draw and encapsulate his positive powers. The first Talisman election was on February 3rd. It features the newly born waxing Moon in conjunction with Jupiter, while both are rising in the sign of Pisces, on Jupiter's planetary day. Other interesting features of this election is the applying sextile of the Moon to Venus (which is the exalted ruler of Pisces) further contributing her supportive powers, and the Exalted Mars in Capricorn which is in sextile to Jupiter, potentially adding his active powers of concrete manifestation, and practical application of energy, thus helping the Jupiterian vision come to life through the power of the will. There are two limited-edition models that will be made for this occasion. The first model is a unique bracelet. The center motif is the ancient Egyptian symbol of Pisces. At the center of the symbol, there is a small container which is filled with materials from the three natural kingdoms which are traditionally ruled by Jupiter, according to ancient texts: Herbs - sage and honeysuckle Metal - a piece of pure gold* Mineral/stone - amethyst The symbols on the sides of the bracelet are the magical seal of Jupiter and the sigil of the ‘intelligence’ of Jupiter. *As in the alchemical tradition, part of the astral magic tradition associates the metal Tin to Jupiter, but many authors prefer gold (the solar metal), which accentuates the solar elements in Jupiter, and his ‘royal’ life-giving powers. The second model is a circular pendant with a gemstone in the middle. Beneath each stone, there is also a piece of pure gold and the herbs honeysuckle and sage. It is available with two types of stones ruled by Jupiter: amethyst and lapis lazuli. Circling the stone are the magical characters of Jupiter. More on Jupiter: The virtues of Jupiter are praised throughout the history of astrology - He is considered to have a very potent positive life generating energy, more temperate than the solar and lunar energy, and in many ways sharing in both as he is considered to be the only planet that mixes heat (solar) and moist (lunar); both qualities necessary for life. When Jupiter is working well, he is powerful, life-affirming and prolific and radiates a balancing and healing energy. He denotes the feeling and circumstances of support, integration, protection and expansion at all levels. Therefore, he is the planet of success and abundance, giving an optimistic sense of meaning and hope, and an inner (and outer) drive for fulfillment, happiness, and exciting adventures. He is also connected with the higher capabilities of the mind, spiritual capacities, higher knowledge, and faith.
