the ‘Thema Mundi’ (the chart of the world/creation) at which each Planet, representing a pure expression of a fundamental principle, is in its most ‘heightened’ position of exaltation, or in other words, is in a placement in which its essential powers and qualities are very strongly expressed and easily accessible. The Talisman expresses this planetary configuration using the corresponding planetary metals and glyphs. Planet - Metal correspondence In ancient times, astrology used only the seven visible planets ars, Jupiter and Saturn. Each Planet has its corresponding elements in all the natural kingdoms The association of planets with metals is one of the oldest and to a certain extent also the purest (less mixed) material manifestation of planetary energy and was very fundamental in the Alchemical tradition. The ancients believed that the metals are a product of a long consolidation of the planetary rays within the earth.  These are the correspondences: Sun + Leo = Gold Moon + Cancer = Silver Mercury + Gemini + Virgo = Mercury/quicksilver (replaced by Electrum) Venus + Taurus + Libra = Copper Mars + Aries + Scorpio = Iron Jupiter + Sagittarius + Pisces = Tin Saturn + Capricorn + Aquarius = Lead (replaced by Zinc) #astrologicaltalismans #talismans #Magick #esoteric #picatrix #alchemy #handmade #designer #designerjewelry #kagoldjewelry
