Supporting Jupiter and Venus: Remedial Astrology
Most important is the direction of one's thoughts and emotions toward positive Venus and Jupiter qualities: a happy outlook, expansiveness, optimism, hope for the future, a fair, reasoning and just outlook, tempered with mercy and empathy, kindness toward oneself as well as toward others, LOVE-all these are energies which resonate with the qualities of Venus and Jupiter: fill your energy field with these feelings and thought-qualities-by your WILL in directing your thoughts-and you will attract the "rays" of Venus and Jupiter into your field. Cultivate these qualities in your inner life and you will cultivate Venus and Jupiter within yourself.
However, there are other "objective" measures, based on traditional planetary affinities, which can also be incorporated into supporting these planetary influences within your energy (bioenergetic) field. One need not use all of these measures, but at least some should be followed:
Some examples:
+aromas, that is perfumes, scents for the air in the home, incense:
-sweet, flowery aromas; jasmine; musk; light and fragrant scents;
ROSE (Venus),
rosemary, sage: these should be used
-very heavy odors, spicy scents, peppery scents, sharp odors, astringent scents, smoke scents, should be avoided (heavy = Saturn, sharp, peppery = Mars)
+tastes: that is, the flavors of foods, candy, condiments, drinks
-sweet taste (but not overly sugar) is affinitive to both Venus and Jupiter; also mild (bland) taste (Moon) and salty (but not overly salted-also affinitive to Moon)
-bitter taste is most important to avoid (Mars and Saturn); sour and astringent tastes should be minimal; pungent/spicy (Mars) also should be kept to a minimum
+colors: that is, colors you wear,
colors in your home environment
-white, green (light green and bright green,
NOT dark or dull green),
lemon color (bright)
pink (light pink), all are Venus affinitive
(white also for Jupiter);
saffron excellent for Jupiter;
also turquoise, light or bright blue color (Jupiter);
silver also (Moon affinitive)
-black, brown, dark, indigo, grey, heavy colors (of any hue) should be avoided (Saturn affinitive); red, scarlet, crimson also (Mars affinitive); gold, bright yellow, orange are Sun affinitive-however Sun might not be the best influence to emphasize when trying to support Venus and Jupiter so exposure to these colors should be kept minimal; violet (Mercury affinitive) also should be kept minimal; purple is affinitive to Jupiter and can be used, but it should be a bright purple, not a dull or reddish dominated or dark purple color (these would connect it more with Saturn or-if reddish dominated-with Mars)
+personal ornaments
(stones, crystals, jewellery, metals worn on the body)
-copper (Venus)
and
tin (Jupiter) should be used;
silver (Moon) also; however, no nickel plated items (nickel affinitive to Mars);
gems/crystals to be considered
are green colored stones (Venus),
silver or white (but not black) pearls (Moon),
clear and also white stones or crystals,
pink hued stones/crystals,
also bright blue stones
and turquoise
-iron, steel, nickel-plated items, black or brown stones or crystals, dark colored ones of any hue; red, orange, violet, grey stones/gems/crystals should be avoided;
there is a question about yellow stones and crystals:
this again brings in a Sun affinity,
which is not what we are really looking for here,
this also applies to wearing gold itself
- I would suggest either eliminating gold during this time,
or keeping exposure to gold
(and to golden and yellow stones)
to a minimum
