Planetary Magic For Your Rising Sign
Adornment for unshaming your strongest archetypes
Your Rising Sign and its planetary ruler are some of most important things about your natal chart.
This is the filter for your experiences and how you approach the world.
Your rising sign is the only thing in your chart that’s just you, it determines your first house which represents where body and soul meet, appearance, and general vibe.
Chart Ruler
The planet that rules your rising sign and is in charge of steering your ship — it’s one of your most potent and motivating archetypes.
Planetary Magic
Planetary magic can be a way to connect to your chart ruler by exploring and aligning with the energies of it. It can help you get to know this part of yourself better or call more of that energy back into your consciousness.
It’s kind of a like attracts like scenario, the more you amplify your ruling planet, the more you can show up as exactly you.
I like to use planetary magic as a way of unshaming these archetypes and finding a new way in.
You can take this in so many different directions you can go with planetary magic — there’s herbs associated with the planets, crystals and stones, foods, colors, etc.
I love the adornment approach, working with colors and aesthetics associated with my Rising Sign, Ruling Planet, my Time Lord, or any other planet I’m struggling to connect to.
