It is Jupiter's day, and Jupiter is joined by Venus who is also rising in the ascendant along with Jupiter. This election was chosen in part due to Venus adorning the ascendant with her beauty, but also due to Jupiter occupying his singular degree of maximum exaltation. Second century astrologer Vettius Valens wrote that Jupiter and Venus together signify “honors of garlands and gold crowns” and are “productive of rank and profits, bringing new acquisitions.” Most importantly in relation to the gnosis received about the joy enhancing nature of these talismans, the presence of Venus with Jupiter enhances the capacity of the talismans to aid in the cultivation of delight. The Moon is in the exaltation of the Sun and applying toward a fiery, waning trine with Sol, though her most immediate connection is to Jupiter and Venus. The Moon possessing a waning aspect with Jupiter adds themes of purification, reconciliation, and the potency of Jupiter for bringing a release from bonds and relief from troubles. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tides of Tethys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45169821024435,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0025\/4607\/3673\/files\/IMG_7758.jpg?v=1765240554"},{"product_id":"joj-3-baguette-citrine-band-size-8-copy","title":"JOJ #3 Baguette Citrine Ring size 6 1\/2","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"151\" data-end=\"322\"\u003eThis is a one-of-a-kind ring, hand-carved and cast in sterling silver.\u003cbr data-start=\"221\" data-end=\"224\"\u003eIt features a baguette cut citrine and a pear cut beryl (aquamarine) gemstone.
