“It serveth to acquire riches and honour, and to possess much wealth. Its Angel is
Bariel. It should be engraved upon silver in the day and hour of Jupiter when he is in the Sign Cancer.”
While most Solomonic pentacles do not have specific astrological requirements, the Fourth of Jupiter does: “It should be engraved upon silver in the day and hour of Jupiter when he is in the Sign Cancer.” Jupiter is in Cancer from June 9th 2025 through June 30th, 2026 which makes this the perfect time to both make these pentacles, and discuss expectations.
Many of the jupiter pentacles have similar powers. The Second of Jupiter states that it is proper for acquiring glory, honours, dignities, riches, and all kinds of good. Another Jupiter pentacle I have made many times from the Veritable Key claims “To obtain the greatest honors & dignities”. To better differentiate how these pentacles work, my scryer and I have chatted with Bariel and the angels of Jupiter.
If you just need money, the Second of Jupiter is one of the best choices for that. If you are solely concerned with your reputation, the Jupiter Honor pentacle from the Veritable Key would be a great choice. However, if you are in a position of power or working your way there, the Fourth of Jupiter may be ideal.
Bariel has the power to place people in positions of structural power where they will make a lot of money. He will concentrate power through folks in a way that will make others defer to them, work for their advancement, and grant more prestigious positions. This is a pentacle of high salaries, socially desired benefits, and the perks of wealth.
Impressing those that already have power and influence has long been a way to increase your own power. While few people reading this live in a situation where the favor of a King or Queen affects their personal rise and fall, many more will find themselves needing to stay in good graces with a manager. One way to use the Fourth of Jupiter is to work with the pentacle and a photo of your manager. Your manager will be more inclined to help you accomplish your goals and vouch for you to people higher up in the company.
This pentacle certainly isn’t just for folks trying to get promoted at work. Surely all professions could benefit from the patronage of the rich or famous. Many businesses thrive from attracting the right customers, landing important contracts, or impressing the right peers.
Experience the Jupiterian power of Bariel and the Fourth of Jupiter as a kingly raiment to increase your influence and worldly power.
