Hi - I hope someone can answer this one. It's a traditional astrology question.
I am planning to make a Jupiter talisman at a favourable date (already elected) - good position, no bad aspects (or any aspects!) with malefics or rulers of unfortunate houses.
I have double-checked the state of Jupiter in my natal chart: it's generally good - it's in Cancer, its sign of exaltation, and in mutual reception with the moon, it rules my 11th and the 7th houses. Both my luminaries are ruled by Jupiter. All good. It also rules the 8th house of death, because Sagittarius straddles the cusps of my 7th and 8th houses, and it's retrograde. Not so good.
So what I want to know is: do all the good stuff about my natal Jupiter balance out the bad to the point that it's fine for me to make a Jupiter talisman for myself? Or does that rulership of the 8th house and the retrograde motion of my natal Jupiter annul the good stuff as far as Jupiter talismans (and elections of Jupiter generally) are concerned?
