- Sailor Jupiter -

Sailor Jupiter is the ultimate powerhouse with strong contrasts of both masculinity and femininity brewing within her. She is known as The Soldier of Protection, and The Soldier of Thunder and Courage. Her reigning powers are over the forces of nature, which include manipulating thunder and lightning as well as plant life.

Physically, she is the strongest of the Inner Soldiers and is seen as the “muscles” of the group. She often fights the enemies with just her fists if they happen to come close enough. Her sturdy body can also withstand huge amounts of weight, allowing her to throw grown men around and stop stone pillars from falling. Yet, Sailor Jupiter represents her femininity through beauty of nature with her on-going rose motif, shown in both her earrings and  her potpourri belt. Her beautiful attacks also show off everything between the sheer force of an electrical storm to the elegance of flower petals.

When working with Sailor Jupiter, you should consider the following things that she can help you with:

• Strength - Whether you need encouragement to become physically stronger, or need someone to strengthen your spells, or someone with strong hands to support you; Sailor Jupiter is on duty!
• Zest - I find that asking Sailor Jupiter to throw a “spark” into your life can lead to some interesting life experiences. If you’re life is feeling a bit stagnant, I’m sure she can spice it up. Be warned though, she’s a bit of a trickster, and you might not like/expect what she brings.
• Security - Sailor Jupiter is the Soldier of Protection and she will live up to that title when needed. Whenever I connect with Sailor Jupiter I feel very safe and secure. She is very quick (like lightning haha) so if you need immediate protection (say, if you feel weird walking down a dark street)  you just have to say some quick words to her and she’ll be there with you. She’s like a security blanket to me  ;~;
• Connecting with Nature - Sailor Jupiter can really help you connect with nature. Sit outside with her and feel the energies coming from the plants; sit on the ground with her and feel the vibrations of the earth.
• Kitchen Witchery - Makoto Kino is Sailor Jupiter’s civilian forme and she is described as being the “perfect housewife” type. She can cook marvelous meals, take care of herself and her home, and loves gardening. I can see Makoto and Sailor Jupiter wanting to help with anything related to the home and hearth, much like I see Sailor Neptune wanting to help with those who practice Sea Witchery.

Offerings and altar pieces for Sailor Jupiter can include any pop culture references you own, such as transformation sticks, posters, or figurines. Offerings of home-made food or pink roses are  perfect for Jupiter. A favourite hobby of Sailor Jupiter’s that has carried on since the Silver Millennium is figure skating, so something representing that would be great too. A stone I relate to Jupiter is watermelon tourmaline - not only because it is green and pink, but because it is a power stone that also attracts love and balances your masculine and feminine energies. What a perfect stone for Sailor Jupiter!

For an altar, I’d either stick to one green candle or a set of one green and one pink candles. Since Sailor Jupiter is so associated with roses, rose incense is nice to burn for her, but if you’re looking for something with a bit more kick, Dragon’s Blood seems to work. I’m sure she would like anything you chose!
