Dear Friends,
Jupiter has incredibly expansive and beneficial energy that many people are drawn to, and with good reason. Among other things, Jupiter is the planet of luck and prosperity. It’s as big and expansive as it’s actual physical size. When you think Jupiter, think big and bold! It’s no wonder that working with Jupiter is a popular topic.
Luck and prosperity are things that we all want, so it’s a good idea to learn a little bit about Jupiter and how it’s energy works. Personally, I’ve found this to be one of the most fascinating planets not just for it’s magickal energy but for it’s unique status in the solar system. Few people know this, but Jupiter is considered to be a sun that never ignited. It has sixteen minor planets or “moons†in its orbit, and had it reached it’s full potential we’ve have a binary solar system instead of just one sun. Some astronomers believe that Jupiter may have at one point been an active sun, and when our current sun came into power it slowly lost its own. This places the Sun and Jupiter in an interesting mytholigical stance. Much like the death and rebirth of the Sun that we experience each year with the solar calendar, Jupiter is the “older†king who is bowing in reverence to the new king, the Sun.
So what can we learn from the astronomy of Jupiter? It is expansive. It represents latent power. It generates heat and is expansive. It’s energy is powerful, spiritual and large. When people speak of Jupiter being expansive, it isn’t just expansive in money, career or personal power. It can also expand consciousness. The astrological sign associated with Jupiter, Sagittarius, represents this duality perfectly. Sagittarius is the hunter and the philosopher. Sagittarian energy, and therefore Jupiter energy, is equally physical and spiritual.
It makes sense to get in touch with the energy of this planet that could have been our Sun. In addition, Jupiter is the Roman name for Zeus, the ruler of all of the Gods. Manifesting and allowing Jupiterian energy is honoring the God himself.
To get in touch with Jupiter, you need to expand your awareness of what is around you. For this reason, it makes perfect sense to complete a meditation based on Jupiter’s energy. To complete this meditation, make sure to have one of the following crystals associated with the planet:
Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Labradorite, Sapphire,Turquoise
You’ll also need four purple candles and some sage. This meditation is especially powerful during the time that the Sun is in the sign of Sagittarius (mid November to mid December), but it can be done any Thursday of the year. Make sure to create a space where you can meditate quietly.
Once you’ve grounded, centered and cast your circle, go ahead and light your four purple candles. Relax and take in some deep breaths of the sage. Before you begin the meditation, wave the crystal through the smoke in order to purify it. Then hold it between your hands and feel your energy flowing into the crystal. Picture yourself vibrating in harmony with the crystal, and see your heartbeat pulsing in it. As you are pulsing and joining with the crystal, feel yourself expanding beyond your physical body and filling the entire room. When you’ve filled the room, you continue to expand beyond your home out into the neighborhood, then the entire city, then the state. You keep expanding further and further until you are beyond the Earth. Feel yourself connecting with the entirety of the universe. Expand to the point where you feel yourself join with the divine and realize that all things are one.
When you’ve made this realization, start stepping back into yourself and thanking everyone and everything that you encountered along the way. Once you’re back into your own body, make sure to ground yourself but keep the new awareness of your place in the universe fresh in your mind. Everytime you look at the crystal, you can repeat those feelings of expansion and power.
You didn’t think I’d create a message on Jupiter without including a luck spell, did you? Well, you’re in luck (pardon the pun) because here’s a short sweet spell that will bring more Jupiter energy and luck into your life.
This spell will help you attract luck into your life. You’ll need a drawstring bag, two lode stones, two green candles and some incense. Prepare your ritual as you normally would. Once you’re ready, place the lode stones into the bag and then tie the strings threes times. Light the two green candles and then say the following words:
Luck shall come to me by the powers of three, by my will so shall it be!
At this point, you need to pass the bag through the incense and just above the candles. Then say
The bag is sealed and this charm is made.
Luckily yours,
Rose Ariadne
Brightest Blessings,
