Planet: Jupiter
Tone: E
Mode: Lydian
Mood: Denotes Joy
"Jupiter is a planet with a different character. Jupiter is the Thinker in our planetary system, and thinking is the activity cultivated by all the Beings in his cosmic domain. Creative thoughts received from the universe radiate to us from Jupiter. Jupiter contains, in the form of thoughts, all the formative forces for the different orders of cosmic Beings. Whereas Saturn tells of the past, Jupiter gives a living portrayal of what is connected with him in the cosmic present. But what Jupiter reveals to the eye of spirit must be grasped with thoughtful intelligence. If a man does not himself make efforts to develop his capacities of thinking, he cannot, even if he is clairvoyant, approach the mysteries of Jupiter, for they are revealed in the form of thoughts and can be approached only through a genuine activity of thinking. Jupiter is the Thinker in our universe.
When efforts to bring clarity of thought to bear upon some weighty problem of existence are unsuccessful because of physical, etheric, and especially astral hindrances, the Jupiter Beings come to the help of mankind. A man who has tried hard to apply clear thinking to some problem but cannot get to the root of it, will find, if he is patient and works inwardly at it, that the Jupiter powers will actually help him during the night. And many a one who has found a better solution for some problem during the night, as though out of dream, than during the previous day, would have to admit, if he knew the truth, that it is the Jupiter powers who imbue human thinking with mobility and vigour."
Rudolf Steiner - The Spiritual Individualities of the Planets

Background:...
In 2010 I began working with the planetary scales to provide musical accompaniment in Camphill communities. I focused primarily on the work done by Rudolf Steiner the book Harmonies of Heaven and Earth by Joscelyn Godwin.
After debuting these to the public in 2019 I realized these pieces can offer healing to the world outside of Camphill and I began a series of collaborations and restructuring of the pieces. These tones offer relationships to the cosmos and a way to create rhythm in daily life, and are composed with that in mind.
To deepen this experience the planetary seals are presented as album art, these seals (originally designed by Steiner) are skillfully painted by Sweden based art therapist Lina Algehov.
