The genius of mathematics Pythagoras in ancient times came to the conclusion that numbers rule the world. They are able to give the initiate with amazing power to calculate in advance all the random events.
The proof of world harmony was the magic square created by the scientist from nine primes, written in order. It contains the sum of the numbers of three rows, symbolizing an unchanging past, a stable present and a vague future. Amounts are equal and are expressed by the number "6".
Another impressive evidence of the power of numbers was the square of Jupiter, described in detail in the writings of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. Ancient astrologers were sure that he personifies power, domination and glory and was able to bestow on them anyone who knows how to use his power and wants to resort to it.
Paracelsus Methods
Other famous historical figures were involved in number magic . An example of this is Paracelsus, a skilled physician of the Middle Ages. He also created his own square with amazing properties. By such magic he successfully delivered people from untreated diseases. The doctor advised patients to write magic numbers on pieces of skin, linen or silk fabric and keep them in the head of the bed during a night's sleep.
It is difficult to judge whether self-hypnosis acted, or maybe real magic, but miracles did happen. Unlike the brainchild of Pythagoras, Paracelsus’s numbers did not go in ascending order, but were arranged according to a special system, miscalculating not only vertically, but also from right to left. Moreover, the sum of the numbers was 15, while 1 + 5 = 6, that is, the harmonious law of Pythagoras took place again.
Spiritual and material energies
The magic square of Jupiter is built on its sides already from three columns and lines. It consists of 16 cells and includes not only prime numbers. The sum of any of its vertical and horizontal components is 34, while 3 + 4 = 7, and this is the number of luck, known since antiquity, appealing to spiritual substances. While the number "6" of the previous squares is more relevant, according to the traditions of numerology, to the earthly world. It turns out that she can offer those who wish to use her power exclusively material wealth. Interestingly, many famous millionaires and adventurers resorted to the magic of six and the generosity of squares to get rich.
Cosmology of Ptolemy
But why is the square of Jupiter constructed in this way? The answer can be found by reading the book “On Inner Philosophy” by the German humanist and practicing magician Agrippa from Nettenheim, who has extensive occult knowledge. He sets out his views, referring to the cosmology of Ptolemy. The worldviews of this ancient mathematician and astronomer, of course, fundamentally diverge from the ideas of Copernicus, who lived during the time of Agrippa, but has not yet become a scientist taken seriously by the medieval environment. However, modern people should not be biased towards Ptolemy, accepting his works in terms of not astronomical reliability, but the beauty of mathematical constructions.
According to the philosopher, the Earth is located in the center of the universe, and around it there are (like nested dolls in one another) celestial spheres. Each of the links in this scheme is the haven of one of the planets. The smallest internal component of this imaginary design is for the moon. Then come Mercury and Venus. Moreover, the Sun, also attributed to the number of planets, follows further in order in this list. After it are located Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Ptolemy believed that on the vault of heaven there are two more spheres. The largest serves as a shell for the general system of cosmic bodies, and the other (a little smaller) is completely strewn with fixed stars.
How to count the number of cells of a planetary table?
One of Agrippa's books is devoted to the mathematical foundation of magic. There, an interested reader is invited to a series of squares whose cells are constructed from numbers or equivalent letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Each of the symbols is associated with a planetary number that can be a conductor of a certain cosmic energy. Any of the seven planets has its own magic square. And the size of the planetary table (the number of columns and rows) corresponds to the number of the celestial sphere according to Ptolemy, counted from the largest external sphere (that is, in the reverse order listed above). That is why the square of Jupiter got the number "4", which means that it must have a size of 4x4, therefore, sixteen cells.
Astrological aspect
The annual movement of the Sun describes an imaginary circle called the ecliptic in astronomy. The plane and the pole serve as the basis for a special celestial spherical coordinate system. Here, every cosmic body has two angular quantities that accurately characterize the position of the star in the sky relative to the Earth. If the ecliptic longitude of one of the planets forms a right angle with the other, then the square aspect arises. Under these circumstances, the combined influence of bodies can complement, suppress or distort the energy emitted by them, which is reflected in the astrological horoscope.
Examples of planetary effects on humans
Options can be considered on the example of the square of Jupiter and Pluto, which arose in Libra and Capricorn in the 2016 horoscope. The combined action of the planets, according to astrologers, engenders in people the desire to achieve at all costs the goals set in business, politics and personal life. The desire for success and fame becomes especially strong during such periods. The square of Jupiter with Pluto provokes a ruthless determination and an unbridled desire to overestimate its capabilities in the ability to remake and change the world. Until September 2017, under the influence of these planets, people remained (as the stars predicted) in a state of painful reaction to social injustice, a predisposition to enthusiasm for philosophical and religious dogmatism.
The square of Jupiter to the Sun is also worthy to consider in a little more detail. This aspect gives the person excessive confidence in their own abilities, which is far from always useful, often entails constant shortcomings in business and strategic miscalculations. Man under the influence of these planets is endowed with a lack of patience, excessive variability of views and beliefs.
Making a Magic Mascot
Jupiter’s square is often used in magic as a talisman or for various rituals. It is easy to make it yourself, which will allow you to take advantage of the energy of this planet strong in the spiritual field. It is best to make the amulet out of metal, which combines with the cosmic essence of Jupiter. It can be tin or a material containing this chemical element. Also, the technique of manufacturing the square of Jupiter allows you to use bronze or brass, decorated with amethyst or lapis lazuli stones. Draw drawings and letters are best engraved.
With a lack of opportunities, it makes sense to draw magical signs with gold or purple paint on a piece of leather or use natural wax. Moreover, the softness of the latter material allows you to put numbers and letters on it without any problems.
