SORCERY SUNDAY: Jupiter
SORCERY SUNDAY: Jupiter
With the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter coming up on the
solstice I thought it would be fun to look at the Roman god behind the planet’s
name. For those who don’t know, there will be a conjunction between Saturn and
Jupiter. The two planets are going to align so closely in the night sky that
they will appear to be a double planet or a single star. Many people are
calling this the Christmas star because of it is taking place so close to
Christmas. The last time humans were able to observe and alignment like this
with the naked eye was in 1226, and the next one won’t be until 2080.
Astrologers say that this will bring a time of great change for everyone. I
truly hope that those changes are good for all those reading this.
Jupiter was the Roman god of thunder, lightning, and sky.
His Greek equivalent is Zeus, though there are some differences between the
two. There are many stories about Jupiter, but I find the following one most
interesting given current events.
Like his Greek
counterpart, Jupiter’s father, Saturn, was warned that one of his children
would overthrow him, so Saturn (the Roman version of Kronos) began eating his
children. His wife Ops (Rhea in ancient Greece) decided she was not going to
watch Saturn eat any more of their children, and when Jupiter was born, she
gave her husband a stone disguised as a baby to eat instead. He swallowed it
whole and had no idea his son was spared. Ops then moved to Crete and raised Jupiter
in secret. When Jupiter became an adult, he forced his father to vomit up his
siblings and together they overthrew Saturn. Jupiter then became the ruler of
the heavens, his brother Neptune became ruler of the sea, and his brother Pluto
became ruler of the underworld.
Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this post and learned a
little about Jupiter. Have a great week! Blessed be!
