A section to analyze your spells- what methods work and which don’t

Write your own spells based on a successful procedure and what plants you have available 

a part of your soul mission;

Jupiter in the 1st: With Jupiter we all kind of have a spiritual mission. In the 1st house Jupiter makes these individuals so youthful, it displays their child-spirit so well, they are very jovial. Their optimism and enthusiasm is very contagius. These people believe in all of their noble pursuits, and believe in fighting their way closer and closer to their goals, with hard work and persistance and of course a hint of courage. Their instincts are really keen and careful, their intuition as well. The fire burning inside them helps them light their way towards the top. Iron will as would come from the 1st house making them not accept ‘no’ as an answer. Their mission is to spread all of this positive energy, fill themselves with it first and then pass  on the enthusiasm and fighting spirit around their friends. They are here to spark the light in order for the others to follow through. These are people who are noble as well, have their own principles and never back down. They carry on with compassion and drive. Sometimes they can get carried away and forget that other people can take over for a bit, they need to take their rest for a minute and continue because they can become their own worst enemy.

Jupiter in the 2nd: People who know the right resources and where to find them in order to achieve their success and chase after their goals patiently. They have their steps calculated, they might slowly chase after it, but the time they take is calculating so it means it is almost never wrong to take your time. It gives them time to eliminate the errors and not butt in recklessly. They create their own luck by creating the right choices and choosing the right opportunities. These people have a mission for others, their mission is for us (the other people) to take note and be inspired by their work ethics. These people can get a bit overwhelmed with everything going on and need to be careful to not indulge in the wrong things while taking a break. They have an appreciation and an eye for beauty and aesthetics, their free time can be spent creating something with those skills. We get inspired by them, so we can also let them help us that is a part of their mission too.

Jupiter in the 3rd: Thirsty for knowledge, thirsty and hungry about information. Their brain absorbs it so easily, making their lips the tunnel through which they will pass it on. Their mission is for them to be the Messenger and pass on messages we need to find out about. Communication is very important to them, that is the platform which helps them talk about what makes them sparkle, what makes their heart burn and what ignites the fire of their thoughts. Their curiosity just leads them to the next level. Their sharing is useful and helpful for us. They show up at the right time and place to deliver their messages. Also these people are very caring for their close ones and very helpful. What they need to be careful off is not leave people behind once they need to pursue their mission. To not be afraid to create bonds and take their people with them.

Jupiter in the 4th: Amazing, on point intuition. Leading them and them hearing it, will take them places and help people. Their warmth is undeniable but once they’ve let an opening for you to feel that. These people are here to protect their loved ones, to protect people. To create that homely, warm environment even if they do not have a home. Because these people are that home. Extremely instinctive as well, if they are in a positive place they recongize and listen to their instincts and intuition as I mentioned. Very caring and loving. These are people though, who do not deal well with change and they should be careful not to attach themselves so much, pardon me, the better expression would be for them not to depend on these people. Because Jupiter in the 4th people can become very independent if they work on it, their bonds will forever stay they just do not need to depend on those people.

Jupiter in the 5th: The romantics of the group. Someone who sees with feelings and as some say through rose-tinted glasses. Someone who gives a lot and expects nothing in returns. Someone whose mission is to give and encourage people to be themselves and feel. Someone who is a breath of fresh air, so playful and warm it feels like you are talking with someone so bright you cannot even see their face clearly because they are shining. These people are also extremely creative, being so in touch with their emotions helps them think differently and feel differently which enables them to create things. Sometimes when put in a negative place they forget to relax and rest their spirit, which is something we all need to do. Then they awaken their ego and someone close needs to remind them of who they are, and just slow down a bit.

Jupiter in the 6th: These are people who are very in touch with their spirituality. This creates an opening for them to be very trust-worthy they prove themselves just by existing. Their whole persona is like that. Also their honesty is to thank for, their mission is for them to tell you the truth and let you rely on them. To open your eyes, that is their mission. These are people who are very productive and success comes to them with hard work, this also inspires others. Being so noble and honest earns them respect. Because they are so self-critical, when they hear critics from others they can become very over-protective and defensive if they are In a vulnerable state. So here these people need to relax and think with a cold head, and not to be knocked down by something so simple. Of course the support system they have from people/person will help them get back on their feet.

Jupiter in the 7th: People who are so charming and noticeable. They possess charisma and are very social and can carry their own in a conversation. They are very strong verbally. They are very fair and compromising, they worry about the justice in things and doing things right. That is their mission, to resolve wrongs into rights, to point out the wrongs and look for the justice. When they are in a positive state their mind cannot be clouded and their judgement is very right. Their whole persona is very graceful and elegant, their words are chosen carefully making them brilliant at speeches. When they stumble a bit, as well do, they can become very indecisive and clouds appear around their head. You step down and do some soul searching then, you put your mission on a pause. That is the best thing. You rely on your closest ones.

Jupiter in the 8th: People who are very talented, unconventional. They have different ways of thinking, different ways of expressing and doing things. They also possess very strong intuition that helps them realize their mission. Their mission is uncovering mysteries and discovering the truth, proving points and solving puzzles. Their mind works such ways that they can get to the core of things, their depth helps with that. They are a mystery themselves sometimes. Extremely giving people, very generous. That mystery about them sometimes can distance them from people, because they need time to let people in, to let them closer because they know exactly how this ugly world works. But what they need to do is follow their intuition there too, it will lead them to the right people, because they can read people like a book.

Jupiter in the 9th: Such a free-spirited soul that belongs to no place or a person. Very independent and eager to learn. They are also thirsty for knowledge, but they also want to pass that knowledge on willingly. Their mission is to inspire us to free our spirit and our mind, as well as listen to their philosophies, take them as advice. They are an experienced soul because they let life take them on journeys. They gain wisdom through that, that they need to pass on. They go on with an open mind and heart always, that is the honesty of their existence. What they need to be careful with is family and friends, to not just run off without a warning and taking them along the journey, or just keeping in touch. They do not wanna lose those strong bonds they create with people, just because they rush off on their own.

Jupiter in the 10th: Someone who knows exactly what they are doing. Someone who is aware of their strengths and weaknesses and use that to their advantage. Very mature, which helps them make their right choice. As we all now Jupiter represents luck but, we are all with a mission and Jupiter in the 10th’s mission is to teach us that that luck is our actual work ethic, which needs to be strong and our drive to achieve. These are people who are very kind, and their company is very pleasant and lovely. They are also very helpful. What they need to work on is to consider others’ opinions and feelings on subjects, two heads are better than one, even though we know these people are talented sometimes when they are low they need someone to be of help. Also they need the right people by their side, to help them snap out of their hard-working ways and them falling into the abyss of darkness and depression.

Jupiter in the 11th: People who are very strong, in terms of knowing what they want, how to get it, their thoughts and opinions. People who are warm in a way so they attract a crowd of people, their friendliness is undeniable, plus they are gifted with communication skills making them very social. That ability helps them express their opinions on matters publicly. Their mission is to awaken all of us, society, rebel against the wrongs. Their mission is that of a humanitarian character, to help the collective. They are also very influential, which helps hold their platform. Very kind and helpful too. What they need to work on is realizing that yes, they are capable of doing such great things, but once they open someone’s eyes they need to let them on the team. They forget they are not alone and that is a bit egotistical of them. They need to include help. And of course a solid support system from their loved ones.

Jupiter in the 12th: These are people who are here with the knowledge of the Universe. How everything is determined and how it works, they know it. They are also gifted with strong intuitive and psychic powers, which help them achieve their mission. And their mission is to help people spiritually, help them with their pain, help them open up their eyes to the bigger picture. These are people who are so selfless that is why this mission is perfect for them, because they will take care of everyone first and put themselves last. It is rough, but that is why they create strong bonds with people who will need to put some sense into them and remind them to take a break, gather their thoughts and have some soul searching once they stumble. Very generous also, giving without expecting anything in return. Honest and optimistic, perfect for helping people realize.

Pluto

Greek god of death and the Underworld

Pluto (also Pluton or Hades) is the king of the Underworld (which is called Hades) and is the god of death. He presides over funeral rites and defends the right of the dead to their due burial. Pluto is also the god of the hidden wealth of the earth, from the fertile soil which nourishes the seed-grain, to the mined wealth of gold, silver, and other metals. One of the gods who works alongside him is Thanatos, who holds power over gentle deaths (while Pluto is death in general). In one myth, Pluto was said to have brought a plague to inflict Thebes after the king refused to give proper burials to warriors, which depicts Pluto’s harsher aspect of delivering death and justice. Pluto was also usually regarded as an infertile god, for a god of death should, by his very nature, be incapable of siring any children.

Pluto was depicted as a dark-bearded, regal god. He was depicted as either enthroned in Hades, holding a bird-tipped sceptre, or as the giver of wealth, pouring fertility from a cornucopia. The Romans named him Dis, or Pluto, the Latin form of his Greek title Plouton, “the Lord of Riches.”

Myths: According to Hesiod, Pluto’s parentage is said to be of Kronos (god of time) and Rhea (goddess of earth and motherhood). He was said to have been devoured by Kronos along with four of his siblings while the infant Zeus was secretly hidden away by Rhea after his birth. When Zeus later returned and fought Kronos, his siblings were spat out and together they drove the titan gods from the heavens and locked them away in the pit of Tartaros. When the three victorious brothers then drew lots for the division of the cosmos, Hades received the third portion, the dark gloomy realm of the Underworld, as his domain. However, in another version of Pluto’s parentage, it is said by the Orphics that he is actually the son of Nyx (goddess of night) and Olethros (god of doom). In my workings with Pluto and Nyx, they have said the latter myth to be the true version, which makes Pluto the half-brother of deities such as Eris (strife), Philotes (unity), Hemera (daylight), Aether (god of the aether and upper light), etc.

In another myth, Pluto had desired a bride and petitioned Zeus to grant him one of his daughters. The god offered him the young Persephone, the daughter of Demeter. However, knowing that Persephone would resist the marriage, he assented to the forceful abduction of the girl and carried her away on his chariot as she cried out for help. When Demeter learned of this, she was furious and in great despair, causing a great dearth to fall upon the Earth until her daughter was safely returned. Zeus was eventually forced to concede lest mankind perish, and the girl was fetched forth from the Underworld. However, since she had eaten the pomegranate seed after being deceived by Pluto, she was forced to return to him for a portion of each year.

Apollodorus in the following passage summarizes the contents of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter (quoted here in the following section). Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 29-33 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.):  

“Plouton [Haides] fell in love with Persephone, and with Zeus’ help secretly kidnapped her. I begin to sing of rich-haired Demeter Semne Thea (Reverend goddess) - of her and her trim-ankled daughter [Persephone] whom Aidoneus rapt away, given to him by all-seeing Zeus the loud-thunderer. Apart from Demeter Lady of the golden sword (khrysaoros), Giver of glorious fruits (aglaokarpos), she was playing with the deep-bosomed daughters of Okeanos and gathering flowers over a soft meadow, roses and crocuses and beautiful violets, irises also and hyacinths and the narcissus, which Ge (Earth) made to grow at the will of Zeus and to please the Host of Many [Haides], to be a snare for the bloom-like girl…The girl was amazed and reached out with both hands to take the lovely toy; but the wide-pathed earth yawned there in the Nysion plain, and the lord, Host of Many, with his immortal horses sprang out upon her…

He caught her up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. Then she cried out shrilly with her voice, calling upon her father, the Son of Kronos [Zeus], who is most high and excellent. But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tender-hearted Hekate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaios, heard the girl from her cave, and the lord Helios (the Sun), Hyperion’s bright son, as she cried to her father, the Son of Kronos [Zeus]. But he was sitting aloof, apart from the gods, in his temple where many pray, and receiving sweet offerings from mortal men. So he, that Son of Kronos [Haides], of many names…was bearing her away by leave of Zeus on his immortal chariot–his own brother’s child and all unwilling. And so long as she, the goddess, yet beheld earth and starry heaven and the strong flowing sea, and still hoped to see her dear mother [Demeter] and the tribes of the eternal gods, so long hope calmed her great heart for all her trouble; and the heights of the mountains and the depths of the sea rang with her immortal voice: and her queenly mother heard her.”

Appearance: A man in his 40’s with tanned skin, black hair, a short black beard, and black eyes (only the irises). He wears a black toga and often has a solemn expression.  

Personality: Pluto is very solitary, withdrawn, just, fair, serious, aloof, brooding, and compassionate. He requires his followers to respect the resting places of the dead, to show humility, and to overcome their toxic ways. He is one who understands that we all must go through the depths of suffering if we wish to gain wisdom and become better people. Yet this is something very difficult to do, so he is glad to assist along this path if one politely requests him to do so. Pluto is also a healer, but only in regards to mental sufferings due to lose and regrets; other things are not specialties of his. Pluto is a highly respectable deity and will be the guardian of many of us once we die (unless we enter a different kingdom). One should not speak cruelly of him or disrespect him due to his role as a divine king, lest they seek to invoke his wrath.  

Personal experiences: Pluto embodies a feeling of immense loneliness, and had even bound himself to the Underworld as he felt that he could belong nowhere else. But in doing this, he is unable to leave this realm for very long and has made it very difficult for him to find a companion. So, in an act of desperation, he kidnapped Persephone when he saw her in a meadow one day and carried her off to his realm as she raged against him. He pleaded with her to listen and be understanding, but of course, someone who has been kidnapped does not respond well to this. So Pluto kept her locked up in his palace hoping that she would eventually calm down and come to want to understand him, but instead, Persephone became angrier and even more desperate to escape. This soon led Pluto to force himself upon her, and he continued this for ages. After a very long time of being kept prisoner, Persephone finally managed to be rescued by other deities, but she was not the same and had lost her connection to flowers due to her stay in the Underworld. She has been traumatized ever since and harbours great anger towards Pluto and any who change the myths about what had occurred. Pluto, however, is not the same as he was before and is repenting for his actions.  

Nowadays, Pluto is a better version of his old self but still pains over his solitude. However, he does receive some company from some visiting family members such as Nyx and a few of his siblings, like Philotes. However, one is not advised to enter the Underworld through astral travel unless they are highly experienced and are granted permission to enter since this realm is not a pleasant place and some areas can even cause insanity. Despite this dark, abysmal domain, Pluto is a very understanding and patient god who is not quick to judge others and helps us to overcome our past evils in order to be reborn. Pluto also has a very strong understanding of pain and solitude, and what these emotions can turn a person into, so he can assist in healing these burdening emotions from our hearts.  

He has explained that Pluto is his true name while Hades is simply the name of the portion of the Underworld which he rules over (as the Underworld is immensely vast and has multiple kingdoms such as Kur, Duat, Helheim, etc). His role as king of Hades is to watch over the spirits of the dead who enter his domain; where they are then tormented in order to overcome their wrong-doings, negative habits/emotions, and harmful obsessions. It is not like Hell, since only evil spirits go there and they are tortured for eternity in far worse ways; the Underworld is moreso a place of harsh lessons and rebirth before one is allowed entrance to Elysium. The torments of the Underworld are also all symbolic and assist the spirit in realizing what they must change about themselves before they can become anew, yet this process usually takes many years (sometimes decades or centuries). Pluto also has power over death itself (since he embodies it) and has explained that the god Thanatos is an aspect of himself, representing a small portion of his own power. Pluto also has the power of illusion, which makes him able to cause spirits and humans alike to see whatever he wants them to see (even able to manipulate one’s astral senses).

The Underworld

a lesson in cleansing

this is personally the way i cleanse my house. it’s different for every practicioner, but you need to do it.

how i cleanse:

i love incense. the different smells and the pretty smoke patterns really do it for me. there’s also the added benefit of not culturally appropriating by using white sage.***

i light an incense stick and walk around my space with it, taking deep breaths and imagining all the negative energy in the room leaving the areas i’m holding the stick in. i then let it burn until it’s completely out.

after that, i line my windows and doorways with black salt. if you’re interested in learning how to make this, please let me know.

after that, i put up my protective sigils on my windows, doors, and mirrors (simply to lock the mirrors). if you want to learn how to make a sigil, don’t hesitate to ask!

cleansing physically can help you with your spiritual cleanse as well. clean your room/house/whatever, straighten up your altar, go ham with some pine sol.

i like to do a face mask after my monthly deep-clean of my space. 

when i cleanse: 

i re-ward/deep cleanse my room once a month, but i actually cleanse with incense every time i go to cast a spell. before i cast my circle or even before i get my materials out, i have my incense burning. the amount of times i cast a spell varies from week to week, but it’s always more than once a week. i highly highly highly suggest cleansing every time you go to cast a spell.

i am not the end-all-be-all of witchcraft. you don’t have to cleanse as often as i do, but you at least need to do something. remember, your craft is personal to you, you can only learn from the experiences of older witches and choose whether or not to take our advice. happy crafting!

***if you are not native american and using white sage, please stop. native peoples are running out of sage and need it for their practice. it’s sacred to them.

Astrology and Elemental Imbalance

Elemental imbalances occur when an individual has a limited element present in their birth chart and most often an excess of another. An unattended imbalance can cause stress of extremes of an element being projected by ones personality (Think of the knights in the Tarot).

Having 10 planets in the natal chart, including the rising sign, we naturally have a high chance of having an elemental imbalance in our birth chart and personality.

An imbalance of elements often looks like a minimum of 2 planets in an element, often seen as only having 2-0 planets missing from being familiar with that elements associations.

Having aspects from planets  that naturally contain the missing elemental energies prominent in the natal chart (example, if you lack air but have many mercury aspects), this can aid the elemental lack, though it will not necessarily bring the elements in ones personality into balance for the planet will still be in an excess sign (example mercury in pisces), and it will still act accordingly to the element it’s placed in.

Fire Signs: Aries/Leo/Sagittarius 

Air Signs: Gemini/Libra/Aquarius 

Earth Signs: Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn 

Water Signs: Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces

How to balance your elements

When we are unbalanced, we either draw others to use (or us to them) to act as an external reflection of the things we lack within ourselves, however, its possible to engage in other activities that can help bring our elemental lack into appropriate balance that can allow for self-healing and improved wellness.

At times due to elemental imbalances in out chart, we may be drawn to another who has excess of the element we lack (even signs) as to experiences a sense of ‘ying and yang’ by interacting with another. You may find you personally may greatly clash with another, yet you are reluctant to part because they seem to ‘fulfil’ you in a way you can’t explain.

For the element you lack the most in your chart, see the table below to find out ways you can help bring the lacking element in your personality.

hi, I was born under saturn and venus and I was wondering how I’d know if I am speaking to them. Thanks :)

How to Know When Your God Has Claimed You

In my family’s experience, it is never just a feeling. It is real and concrete. Neither circumstantial nor fleeting.

APOLLO

The God of Victory will give you a miraculous triumph at the last minute. Whether through a sports match, a final exam in school or a promotion at work… whatever was impossible will take a turn. And at the moment of your win, the Sun will shine on you. If it is raining, it will suddenly stop. If it is a bright day, it will turn gloomy, except right above you.

DIANA

The Goddess of Fertility will bathe you in silver. When you look in the mirror, you will see yourself wearing a silver necklace you cannot feel on your neck. You will hear people compliment a silver bracelet you cannot see yourself wearing. You will see photographs of you wearing a silver dress when in reality the fabric was black or red.

MERCURY

The God of Wit and Trickery will give you a tragedy. Something unexpected and shocking. But almost immediately, you will find that this disaster has led you to something better than you ever imagined. That is him whimsically turning your car around, showing you the right way to your destiny.

VENUS

The Goddess of Beauty will scar you. Something will wound you. An accident will make you bleed. And then the very next day, you will see no trace of it on your skin. It will miraculously heal. That is her letting you know that she can give and she can take away, now that you are hers.

MARS

The God of War will spill blood in your name to christen you. That boy in school who has been bullying you will find himself in a wheelchair. Some villainous adult you have been feeling threatened by could suddenly die. You will come across books and websites about making your dreams come true and being ambitious and true to you.

JUPITER

The God of Abundance will give you a windfall. Your parents could suddenly get promoted, benefitting you directly. A distant aunt you did not know you had could die, leaving you an enormous inheritance. You could win a raffle draw you would not even remember joining. He likes to throw a party for his new children.

SATURN

The God of Harvest will balance the scales for you so you can start again. Anyone who cheated to get ahead of you will suddenly fall. Someone you deem unethical or immoral could lose everything they have. He will not give you an advantage, but he will take away others’ head start so you can compete fairly again.

URANUS

The God of Chaos will give you endless waking visions. You will spend a whole afternoon in a chocolatier only to find out the next day that it never existed. You will have a long conversation with a man only for someone to approach you and say, “Why are you talking to yourself?” He will let you travel through the veil to different times and realities.

NEPTUNE

The God of the Hidden will whisper in your ear. He will tell you secrets about people, places and things. It is a test. If you use this knowledge to hurt the innocent, you will never hear from him again. But if you use it to destroy only the cruel and the deserving, he will keep talking.

PLUTO

The God of the Underworld will physically visit you. You will wake up in the middle of the night to find a tall, hooded figure standing a few feet away. You will feel sleepy. When you wake up again, you will see him sitting on your bed, silently watching you. The next time you open your eyes, you will see his face inches away from yours.

Venus in Virgo;

Venus in Virgo is a gardener. Gentle and attentive, she walks among plants in light, comfortable clothes that blow slowly to the wind’s whispers. Diamonds grow from her flowers, and she tends to them much like a jeweller polishes their stones.

Venus in Virgo is a fertile placement, but not a typical one… Traditionally, Virgo is too analytical an energy to deal with Venus’ sphere of affections. Here, the process of loving, attracting and demonstrating affection passes first through reason and logical examination, maybe preventing a more spontaneous and traditionally natural expression of one’s fondness towards others. Virgo Venus’ fertility, then, is about being able to discriminate between good and bad. People with this placement are watchful observers, and this trait helps them understand the people they’re interested in. They’re judicious and easily identify both skillful and unskillful traits in others. And so they become a worker in the garden of their relationships. Seeds are carefully analyzed before being able to grow in a safe place under the Sun. People with this placement take good care of their friends and lovers and are somehow devoted to them, for these people have invariably been elected as especial and worthwhile from a pile of many other potential relationships. Like a gardener who’s proud of their work, Venus in Virgo people love to watch their allies grow and will focus their efforts in eliminating anything that imposes a threat to the relationship’s blossom.

This worry and care related to growth is reflected in Virgo Venus’ efforts towards maintaining a healthy body, a balanced mind, a good diet and an impeccable hygiene. Naturally, Venus extends this care to the objects of her attention, and so friends, allies and lovers will all benefit from Virgo Venus’ knowledge on being so thoughtful and so concerned. To put it more clearly, the Virgo Venus individual is the often the one to offer help and to constantly be there for the people they love. How was your day? Is there anything I can help you with? Do it like this and maybe you’ll get better results. Are you sleeping well? Let me take charge of this. Et cetera.

Materially, Virgo Venus also symbolizes great talent in organizing and administrating their finances and possessions. She also has great understanding of how nature operates, and because of this she can naturally understand how medicine and healing arts work.

Moreover, this clear observation of the outside world helps Virgo Venus people in always keeping a relationship crystal clear as far as intentions go. People with this placement tend to consciously understand what they want in a relationship, and will often demand a similar attitude from their partner, in the sense that they’ll not only try to dissolve conflict when it appears, but they’ll also try to solve the problem that is imposed, and this is a reflection of Virgo’s analytical and critical eye on things.

Finally, Venus in Virgo is a gentle grower. They watch the weather change from sunny to stormy and from stormy to snowy in a resigned way, always willing to improve themselves and do the most out of a situation while adapting themselves accordingly. Venus in Virgo represents the patience necessary to contently wait for the beautiful thriving of a garden.

Detail: Rupert Bunny, “A summer morning”; 1897.

Hiya! I've been seeing a lot of 11:11, 11:33, 11:44 and 11:55 along with a lot of 22:22 and 22:44 ever since this really big turning point in my life. Do you know what that means?

Anytime you see number patterns like these, know that the Universe is winking at you and letting you know that you’re flowing with life. Numbers reflect the planetary influences in our lives.

Numbers, Planets, and their Meanings

In general, odd numbers are active and dissonant while evens are receptive and in balance. 1s are about expression and identity -- the sun. 2s are about connection through expression and are represented by the moon. 3s represent action, change, and reflect the energy of Mars. 4s are about family, home, and self as we materialize the energy of Mars. 5s represent Jupiterian fulfillment and the abundance that wants to come in if we are willing to grow (not always a pleasant process). 6s appear in our life when material joy has been attained. It represents the highest earth-bound joy we can receive and is represented by Venus. 7s represent the first spiritually-aligned numbers. It is the highest point before descent down the Maya pyramid of life to the last 13th step. It is both destructive and creative. 7 is where we meet the results of our karmic deeds, and so it is represented by Saturn. 7 represents the veil between the spiritual and material world and appears when outer and inner worlds are not in alignment. 8s represent our drive towards the creative and material stability of the north node, Rahu, but like the infinity of the 8 itself, it is a process that is always in motion looking for equilibrium. 9s represent the south node, Ketu, in their inner-harmony and spiritual consciousness and represents completion. These are the forces of the planets making themselves known on Earth.

In addition, the planets rule numbers, so numbers are always in relationship to one another. The sun and moon (1 & 2) rule themselves, but Mars (3) rules the number 9. So those with life path 9, or strong affinity with the ideals of 9, are ruled by Mars as well. Mercury (4) rules the Jupiterian growth of the number 5. Jupiter (5) rules Mars. Venus (6), like the sun and moon, rules itself. Saturn (7) rules the progress of the 8. The north node (8) rules Mercury, the materialization of consciousness. The south node (9) rules the deeds of Saturn. 

It’s a lot, so here’s a table to help you keep it straight:

1 = sun and rules 1 2 = moon and rules 2 3 = Mars and rules 9 4 = Mercury and rules 5 5 = Jupiter and rules 3 6 = Venus and rules 6 7 = Saturn and rules 8 8 = Rahu (NN) and rules 4 9 = Ketu (SN) and rules 7 

Knowing these relationships can help you understand planetary influences in your daily life without knowing exact transits or personal aspects. 

Using modern rulers as well, 7 rules Neptune, 8 rules Uranus, and 9 rules Pluto.
