Jupiter, The Moon, & the Revolutionary Power of Joy
Marcello Ficino wrote, “When you fear Saturn, use Jupiter.”
We are living in Saturnian times—marked by authoritarianism, repression, and rising xenophobia. This discussion explores how cultivating joy, both individually and collectively, can counteract the forces of control. Drawing on the symbols of Jupiter and the Moon, along with humor, mythology, and magical practice, we will consider ways to access and embody joy in daily life. In doing so, we place “Jupiter opposite Saturn” as a guiding image for balance and resistance—supporting personal well-being and collective renewal in challenging times.
