Venus in Taurus and Moon Silver (*Limited Edition*)
Limited Edition-assembled on January 8th, 2024, between 9:06-9:35 GMT+3
The election window for the creation and consecration of the talismans was 9:06–9:35 AM (climax at 9:21 AM) in Givataim, Israel.
The election time featured Venus rising (conjunct the Ascendant) in the sign of Pisces, in a perfect sextile aspect to the waxing Moon in Taurus, which is the sign of its exaltation. Venus was in her own decan and term, and at the moment of climax, Jupiter was the ruler of the hour (Jupiter is also the classical ruler of Pisces).
This combination of Venus in Pisces sextile to the Moon in Taurus is a famous recipe for love and attraction talismans mentioned in several ancient texts. Astrologically, this is markedly auspicious, as both are in their signs of exaltation. Additionally, Taurus is ruled by Venus, meaning the Moon is said to be received by her.
This combination is reported in the Picatrix, as well as in the book of Alexander and other magical text, as an Ideal combination for a Venus Talisman.
Venus Talismans
Venus talismans help to open our hearts and bring love, romance, and sensuality into our lives. They strengthen existing emotional and romantic connections, heighten sensitivity to beauty, and inspire artistic abilities and creativity. Venus increases personal charm, attractiveness, and popularity while calming the mind and body, alleviating stress, and bringing more soothing and cheerful energy to daily life. This talisman is also helpful in increasing fertility.
An exalted placement means the essential nature of a planet is strongly heightened in all its respects, with added modifying factors that do not exist in its signs of rulership. The Pisces energy modifies Venus's qualities, emphasizing the spiritual aspects of love, beauty, and harmony. It evokes an ideal perception of unconditional love and gentle, unifying compassion.
In Pisces, Venus transcends material needs and satisfaction, focusing instead on harmonizing and uniting souls. This placement brings forth a higher form of love, receptivity, and authentic connection.
The talisman will help attract these higher 'exalted' qualities of love and partnership, as well as intuition, sensitivity to beauty, and creative inspiration. It symbolizes divine and absolute love beyond physical boundaries, radiating love not only in relationships but also toward nature and the universe.
Venus is the star of beauty and harmony, governing the wholeness and balance of nature. What we perceive as beauty is the perfect combination of proportions, flowing smoothly in a wonderful dance.
“In all works of magic for love, friendship and alliance, we ought to see that the Moon conjoins Venus in Taurus; if you attend closely to the preceding, you will obtain your intention in a marvelous way and fulfill what you wish.”
