In ancient Rome, the Temple of Jupiter Stator was dedicated on this day. Stator means "stayer" and refers to the time Jupiter assisted Roman soldiers in successfully standing their ground during a battle. With the moon in Mars-ruled Aries, today is a good time to set the intention to successfully stand your ground, whether you're feeling challenged by another person, a condition or situation, or your own seeming limitations. Cleanse two hematite stones in sunlight and/or sage smoke, and then empower them with a confident inner vision of remaining stalwart and emerging victorious. While standing near a large tree, invoke the sky god's assistance by chanting:
"Jupiter, help me stand my ground and be the victor in this round. With the fortitude of this mighty tree, strongly rooted I shall be." Place one of the rocks at the base of the tree, and carry or wear the other one until your victory is secure. |
