VENUS AND JUPITER AS ANGELS OF LOVE
Arabic magic is rightly called astral magic because of its extensive astrological background. For every occult work there is a precisely determined day, hour, star position, moon house, planetary spirits, rulers, lower and higher energy beings. All this should not be surprising if we remember for a moment that the cradle of astrology, as well as of magic itself, but also of religion, is today's territory occupied by Iran, Iraq and Egypt.
When one wants to undertake a magical action such as making a talisman, and in order for it to be successful, special attention must be paid to the correct selection of the time when it will be undertaken. The reason for such an attitude is the desire to precisely divide the quality of time to allow the magician to align his work exactly with the energy of a certain planet.
Namely, the associated forces (strengths) of each individual planet are normally scattered throughout the universe and therefore their action is usually not completely pure nor is their importance precisely determined. In order to achieve the latter, and to direct the power of the planet into writing, it is necessary, if possible, to unite several interdependent actions and thus temporarily create an atmosphere in which one planet rules exclusively and entirely, whose action will not be hindered by the influence of any other planet.
When composing love talismans, it is necessary to know the basic astrological rules, namely, the starting point is Venus, as a symbol of woman, and Jupiter, as a symbol of man. In this case, Mars is not considered in the classical representation of Venus-Mars: woman and man. Because Mars, together with Saturn, is a well-known malefic, useful exclusively in black magic. Mercury, on the other hand, as an androgynous, is ideal for the love union of persons of the same sex.
Among the most suitable moments for writing a love talisman is when Venus is in conjunction with Jupiter, or in conjunction with Mercury. This astrological time gives the talisman a special power: it can literally make the person whose name is mentioned in the talisman obsessed with love for the man or woman who ordered the talisman.
It is interesting to note that Venus and the Moon are female planets, whose strength is more dominant at night, while all the others, except for Mercury, are male planets whose influence is more intense during the day. When writing a talisman, the planetary day and hour are taken into account, in this case Friday, Thursday and Wednesday, and the first hour (immediately after sunrise), which is considered the strongest.
Of course, writing talismans for love is not limited only to the specified days. Sunday, as the first day of the Arabic week, is very often mentioned in recipes for writing talismans. It is ruled by the Sun. But as far as I've noticed, most of the love talismans that are made on Sundays, mostly around noon, have separate letters and symbols, which is a feature of more powerful talismans, like this one.
