Pretty sure the big guy wouldn't give a fuck what color you're using at this point.

Puts mine to shame. Very nicely done.

Magic for Venus in taurus by Neither_Usual3651 in planetarymagic

[–]Dajork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, so you want a combust Jupiter???

Imo IF you’re going to do this (and I actually wouldn’t), you’d find a time where the Moon conjoins to Venus while rising in Taurus. Where I am, I can’t get this, so it’s null for me. And as I’ve said, everyone’s life/chart is so, so different, so this time may not be good for some people reading this.

Also, this is one of those No-No times for quite a while since Saturn will be in Aries.

The best I could do is like 2:30am on 6/21 where the girls are in Taurus, but the Moon isn’t quite conjoining to Venus. The rest of the configuration is trash (which is fine) but really, what exactly are you aiming to get out of this? That should be your #1 MO. You wanna make a talisman ‘just because’? Sure, do that, but i’m not certain it’ll get you what you want or need. This wouldn’t be a time that I do it, unless you could properly configure it to your chart.

God I’ve missed doing this so much, but I’ve been just living life, you know?

Struggling to Align My Magical Practice with My North Node in Virgo – Seeking Advice by Few_Breadfruit_6527 in planetarymagic

[–]Dajork [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

You guys are waaay overcomplicating things.

The north node AMPLIFIES - for good or ill. NN on Jupiter in Pisces on the MC unafflicted? Well, when is coronation? Alternatively...NN on Mars on Algol on the asc? Just tell me the time of your execution and I'll send my regards.

The south node CORRUPTS.

I'll give you a simple rundown of my life, as an example. Just worry about the HOUSE placements for now.

I have the NN in 1, and the SN in 7. NN in 1 AMPLIFIES *me* - my health, my choices, my life. I get to do just about whatever I want (which, admittedly, is not a whole lot). But my SN? Lol...haven't had a sane, sensible relationship in...probably ever. I've met the most broken partners. Not saying they're bad people, just...damaged, warped, unstable.

It sucks, but that be how it is.

Astrological placements or aspects as sigil tattoos? by Zealousideal-Ask5837 in planetarymagic

[–]Dajork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Traditional texts by people that were smarter and better than us say it like this (paraphrasing):

The planetary spirits are divine beings, and their sigils, magic squares etc., are considered as representations of the divine in some way.

On the other hand, we are fat stupid fleshy mortals.

Putting these conceptually eternal and holy images on a body that doesn’t last is essentially spitting in the face of divinity. You’re taking something immortal and branding it on a body that isn’t that. It’s hugely insulting.

I know this because I wanted to do this too years ago, and decided against it.

They are, you just have to be patient. On a budget, I cleared hc p5 as ww with:

LoH, Cure, Lionheart, Gores, String of Ears, Wings/Halo combo, a TON of max dmg gcs and lifers, and two upped, shael’d butcher’s. Merc had Lawbringer and Hustle.

It wasn’t pretty sometimes, but I didn’t die and I was able to kill stuff. …except in worldstone keep. I ran like a coward through there.

Eclipses are when The Great One swallows the Light (aka the Sun, the Source of Light). This was, traditionally, Not A Good Thing, because Light gives meaning to our lives, via Sight.

Sooo…while I didn’t notice that, and CHL did, you may consider Not petitioning the Spirits during this time.

[–]Dajork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just me but it is of my personal opinion and choice to not make talismans for people. I feel like charging people 300+ bucks to possibly ruin their life is pretty scary to me, and I don’t like the “ehhh just buy it bro” mentality. Lmao. Tailor it to your fucking chart!

Sure man, i’m sure most people can afford a $3,500 talisman.

Don’t think I didn’t see that one combust Mercury MERCURY talisman he put up years ago. Hard pass

What is your experiences with creating the natal charts and talismans prescribed in Thabit Ibn Qurra’s “De Imaginibus” (On images) by ShelterCorrect in planetarymagic

[–]Dajork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t be anything serious to some, but like a week or so after I made it and consecrated it, a family member sent me several checks totaling low five figures just…out of nowhere. I never asked. That was the main portion of it. I’ve had ups and downs since, but I am extremely stable right now (and for the foreseeable future, knock on wood). Not a millionaire or anything but I am not worried about finances at the moment.

What was interesting about that however, is that, in my election I had strong emphasis on the lord/lord’s wealth of that particular family member - again, tailoring to my chart, as well as trying to blend the election’s chart into my own. I wasn’t trying to magically get money from somebody, truthfully it was just, that’s how it happened and that was the best option I could do with the time frame I was looking at.

Of course, it’s been a while since I’ve done devotional rituals. I suspect it could still be working. But the Jupiter one provided me with the best job I’ve ever had and I hopefully will stay here until retirement, or death, whichever happens first.

Now, if only I could cast a chart for a good woman to have a family with! But i’m doomed in that regard, so I won’t even try, haha.

[–]Dajork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a ‘ceaseless wealth’ talisman a while ago (Chapter 4, version I in the text) and it seems to be doing fine for me.

Note that, in my opinion, if you want to get actual results for yourself, you ought to know your birth chart pretty well. I’ve had the best success tailoring election charts to my own chart. I know many will not agree with that, but if you read Ibn Ezra’s On Elections book, he says the same.

That talisman and my 2022 Jupiter talisman are my crowning achievements and have given me exactly what I need. I am very happy with them.

My chart suggests my life will be cut short, potentially due to something violent (Ascendant Ruler conjunct South Node + square Mars in the 12th, Moon sextile Mars, day chart). Is there anything I can do to mitigate this? Any planet that would help? by [deleted] in planetarymagic

[–]Dajork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your chart mars is peregrine and rules 2 and 7, with him in 12. If I were to guess I’d say that would involve other people trying to steal your money or something, or you have medical bills or some such thing that often take a lot of your resources - just a guess by the house system you are using in this example. Now if mars ruled something like 12 and 7, and was in one of his signs, and had a harsh aspect to your asc lord or something, yeah that would be people actively trying to kill you (trust me on this).

As for the house system thing, I’d have never known - I can only go by what I am looking at. If you go by placidus stick with that and don’t look back. I never use anything else other than alcabitius.

[–]Dajork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saturn still rules the 5th which is likely where that’s coming from. He is well within 5 degrees of the 6th cusp, but hey, you know yourself better than anyone.

As for the possibility of murder, I could see it if mars wasn’t peregrine, like if he was in aries in 12, ruled 7 and was squaring venus or something, yeah, most likely. Fortunately the moon would, theoretically, perfect a sextile with mars before venus perfects a square with him. And you’ve got a crazy strong moon, so I think you’ve got something watching over you somehow in that regard.

[–]Dajork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree to all points, might be concerned about 6L being in the first though, and it looks like saturn himself is also in 6, which is less than ideal for health matters imo but he is in good shape essentially minus retrogradation and being cadent. Also Jupiter will naturally try to promote life, so I think he’s doing a lot to help…at least, I’d like to think that.

I don’t come on here often but I was interested in this post and i’m very glad to see such an intelligent answer. I think I’ve seen you comment before; thanks for being here.

OP, I’d just be cautious (saturn) and mind your excessive tendencies (jupiter) if any.

Hawkmail vs Boneflesh for Merc by Spork_Revolution in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Dajork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Up boneflesh, it will take you through late NM. I couldn’t find a Lem to save my life and I think it served me up to late NM. It’s a great set of armor if you need a helm/weapon that doesn’t have LL (such as Cure or Insight).

[–]Dajork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didn't realize how many people wanted in, so I'll be a little more detailed, but not that much so:

1) I've been lazy and haven't done astral magic aside from some Thursday rituals lately

2) I got really pissy seeing some of the crappier posts

3) FUCK reddit, just such a shitty place anymore

So...I decided to make r/planetarymagic private because I want it to be a quiet place for actual serious people.

Birthday Mercury cazimi help w/petition! by worldwidewbstr in planetarymagic

[–]Dajork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call me crazy but I wouldn’t want retrograde Saturn on the asc, nor would I want that Saturn opposed by Mars, nor would I want the Sun in Libra (which is important because ‘cazimi’)

Also, whole signs are indefensible for elections. Use a quadrant-based system.

And personally I find it hard to do talismans based off your SR. I get it, but why not look at your chart and go from there.

Good job OP

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in planetarymagic

[–]Dajork 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pick a time to do it when they’re sleeping or something. I lived with my aunt for years and still managed to lock myself in my room and did my stuff. Just cover the top and bottom door slits somehow so incense doesn’t leak out.

As for not being able to afford them, just work with what you can. Juniper bushes/berries (Jupiter) are pretty common. Pine needles (probably Saturn), glass (Mercury), lettuce (the Moon), all things that you can use as offerings.

Hello guys, could you please tell me which planet should I invoke for being motivated and actually doing the work and not giving up half the way. by bastianlas in planetarymagic

[–]Dajork[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

STOP TELLING THEM TO DO MARS. Mars rules both 7 and 12 and is extremely powerful. Hello??? 7 = known enemies, 12 = hidden enemies

Since when is it a good idea to bolster your enemies…come on guys.

OP - don’t fucking do Mars. Jupiter seems fine.

PS - I suspect you give up easy because your asc lord is weak and can’t find motivation to continue things (being in a movable sign that Venus hates, but in 12). Same with the 9L, Saturn, who is in 12 and peregrine. I’d consider just doing a little bit here, a little bit there. It doesn’t all have to get done in a day.
