,

Please never forget, as you work through changes and pursue goals in these six luck-blessed months, that you earned this. You got through the hard times with grace, and your potential and kind heart drew the attention of a huge planetary force. 

Here’s Jupiter’s Blessed Guardian Staff, now fully prepared for your possession…

JUPITER’S BLESSED GUARDIAN STAFF

The preparation took some time, but the Staff is yours now, as the planet Jupiter and the Emissary sent to me both hoped it would be. (And as I, too, hoped it would be.)

Your six months lit up with luck and good energy will begin as soon as you’ve completed these welcoming instructions. As soon as you’ve confirmed your acceptance of Jupiter’s love: 

1. Print out the above image of the Blessed Guardian Staff to function as your representation of it during the welcoming process.
2. Create a purified space in your home by sitting in the center of a circle of burning tealights with your Staff. 
3. Hug it to your chest, image facing inward. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and visualize Jupiter’s great and golden light beaming out of the Staff and into your chest.
4. When the light becomes so bright in your visualization that it’s all you can see, whisper the following welcoming rite:

“Oh, golden Jupiter, largest of your kind,

I welcome the luck that you invite into my life, 

Be my safety, my guardian, in this crucial time,

Between us, let energy flow – let us draw no lines.”

5. Still holding the Staff to your chest, slowly open your eyes. Blow the tealights out one by one, repeating the final line of the rite before each new extinguishing of a tiny flame.
6. Tidy away the extinguished tealights and store your Staff image somewhere safe. (Somewhere it won’t be disturbed or uncovered by anyone but you during the next six months.)

That’s it,        . Hopefully, you’ll be able to work through those steps with ease and get started on your immense forward progress sooner rather than later.

Once your six months have started, you’ll feel it in your heart. And you’ll enjoy smooth, productive sailing with the help of your two FREE gifts…

YOUR EARTHBOUND SHARD OF JUPITER

Here’s the first of your gifts – the Earthbound Shard of Jupiter.

This should function as a true physical link between you and the lucky planet, reducing the likelihood that anything will interfere with your connection in the next half-year.

Ideally, you should store the Shard’s image (as a printout) directly alongside your printout of Jupiter’s Blessed Guardian Staff. 

Don’t tell anyone about the Shard or the Staff. Keep your secrets safe and your rewards safer. Remember that you earned a real victory this week; less well-intentioned people could quickly seek to take that from you. 

Here’s your second and final gift – your Life Improvement Overview…

YOUR LIFE IMPROVEMENT OVERVIEW

Make the most of your time guarded by Jupiter by following this Life Improvement Overview. Maximize your impact within your own life!

• Improving your emotional life: Emotionally, your primary focus under Jupiter’s guardianship should be learning to trust yourself. Learning to be confident in your decisions and the reasoning behind them. You’re an intelligent, articulate person, and you’re far too fast to doubt your convictions if someone happens to disagree. Hopefully, your enhanced luck and insulation from huge pitfalls during these six months will allow you to experiment more, make bolder calls, and come into your power as the best and final arbiter of your plans, goals and decisions. 
• Improving your interpersonal life: In terms of your platonic bonds with friends and family, there’s one crucial thing you can do to promote happiness and growth in this season of change. Let people meet you where you are, and let people meet who you really are. Don’t bend over backward to create a version of you that everyone likes. Know that the people who genuinely love you want the real you – and they will understand when you’re having an off day, or when you need a break, or even when you flake on them here and there. 
• Improving your love life: I’m hopeful that Jupiter’s influence will allow you to fill in a deficit that has existed in your romantic sphere for a while now. In short, spontaneity! The ability to do something fun, last minute, and not overly thought out. The ability to show up for your lover in the expected (and no doubt appreciated) ways but also in enjoyable, exciting, unexpected ways. I challenge you to do at least one spontaneous thing per week – be it big or small – for or with your romantic partner. Keep the spark alive! 
• Improving your professional life: There are a couple of significant deficits to tackle in this part of your life. The first is a mindset change. A recognition that if you do your best and still fail, it doesn’t make you, personally, a failure. Not every job – or even every individual project – is made to hit on every person’s strengths. The second is a commitment to better boundaries between the work and the personal because, though it can be hard to draw those lines, it’s far better for your mental health when you can. 
• Improving your financial life: Your life in this area will change during your time under Jupiter’s wing. So much luck will flow your way, and so much OF that luck will be turned into wealth and financial gain. The main adjustment required will relate to your changing situation – don’t let mental baggage about your past financial life keep you from making solid, sensible decisions in your present financial life. Improve your financial literacy. Get used to a sense of security. It won’t be easy, but it will slowly become more and more possible.
• Improving your intellectual life: Often, our brains need a certain level of space and safety to work at their fullest potential. I think these six months will give you enough of both things, and you’ll find you want to expand your horizons in an intellectual sense. Trust this inclination, and don’t be afraid to try anything that interests you. It’s okay to be bad at things. It’s okay to be new at things. Take classes, read books, and indulge your curiosity. Learn to love “Beginner” status as much as “Expert” status.

There’s always more to do, more to seek, and more to change. But if you can tackle the major deficits across these six life areas? You’ll be in a far better place.

I believe in you,        . And evidently, Jupiter believes in you too.

Your loving friend,
