To reiterate for any other celestial mages who are curious: Even parans create a relationship between a planet and a star and that planet becomes a type of translator of light, just as they would in a projected ecliptic conjunction.
I use both projected degree conjunctions and parans... But will say that talismans done on the heliacal rise of a star are WAY more potent imo. Way fewer elections, but the direct metaphorical contact of the star with the earth is like yowza!
2/3
For more on this, check out the excerpt I wrote with @psychic_desert for her heliacal Vega talisman:
Addendum: the difference at least philosophically between conjunctions and parans, is there is a clear life span of a paran. So if you choose to elect by parans (which are different from stellar heliacal phases) know that your talisman definitely has a 27ish year lifespan.
4/4
Addendum 2:
I recommend electing by heliacal phase (which gives it a long lifetime). & I check to make sure there are no parans between the selected heliacal star & the malefics, the nodes, or outers for the election, as that could cause some issues later down the road.

This is a time-period in your life where transiting Saturn (the one in our skies presently) returns to the same sign and location of your natal (birth chart) Saturn.
Okay but what does this mean in a more tangible sense?
"I had a birthday reading w/my new friend Amaya today & I am floored! It was amazing! She's super perceptive, direct, kind, & exactly on my wavelength! To get astrological remediation magic suggestions, right along w/the reading? Stunning! Highly recommended!"
"Learn more about the stars in astrology. So many are talking about "sidereal" astrology, but not saying jack about the actual stars! Learn from a meticulous learner and teacher."
Sipping coffee this morning, the "law" of magical viability is on my mind. Depending on the school of magic you're practicing, you may not know this law; if you do know, it's good to get a refresher.
Can magic help us do incredible things? Yes.
But there's more to it.
1/?
The law of viability is simple. You have to ask, "How viable is this in pragmatic terms?" to determine the potential success of (& the amount of work required for) a working.
Let's look at a love spell, as an example. (Just an example, I do not condone compulsive magic)
2/?
Say you want a celebrity living in a different part of the world, whom you've never spoken with or met, to fall in love w/you.
On a pragmatic basis, is that viable? Not really.
Can you brute-force magical workings to make it happen? Maybe. We'll get into that momentarily.
