Jupiter, which is just gradually starting to appear in the morning sky, beginning a new cycle (after his ‘rebirth’ conjunction with the Sun). It is regaining its strength and productive powers while also joined with Mercury, both enjoying leading the Sun as “doriphory” (spear bearers). Ruling the mutable cross of the Zodiac (Sagittarius-Gemini, Pisces-Virgo), they both signify different aspects of knowledge and learning, practical and spiritual. Their Meeting in Libra enhances the ability for them to reach an optimum balanced proportion with each other. Both share triplicity rulership over libra (air) and also considered well placed by sect (diurnal planets in a masculine sign. mercury is considered diurnal when rising before the sun).

These conjunctions stimulate an increase of mental abilities, broadening the capacity of perception, understanding and synthesis of knowledge. They enhance good memory, graceful speech, a higher capacity for learning, public speaking and gaining honour and success through these activities.

Jupiter signifies higher knowledge and intuition, philosophy and ethics. Mercury signifies discursive reasoning, practical wisdom, language and speech. both together in Libra bring a sense of balance between the right and left hemispheres of the brain, between abstract knowledge and pragmatic logic. Together they invoke the potential for profound wisdom and understanding.

The words inscribed on the talisman are the greek word Gnosis (γνῶσις) and Sophia (Σοφία), both word are words for knowledge and wisdom. Gnosis it quite literally ‘knowledge from direct experience’, but also used to denote higher spiritual and intuitive knowledge and the apprehension of truths through mystical insight. Sophia is the greek word for wisdom (also the name of the goddess of wisdom) the use of the word has to do with the wise power of reasoning about those gnostic truths, and their wisdom exhibited in action.

The center of the talisman is a replica of an ancient Roman coin with the figure of Mercury holding his staff - the Caduceus
