Thursday is ruled by Jupiter. It is a good day to work for Abundance, Luck, Prosperity and Health.

The foods of Jupiter are useful in promoting money, employment and overall prosperity. Foods ruled by Jupiter include:

allspice, anise, buckwheat, cloves, dandelion, eggplant, endive, figs, macadamia nuts, mace, millet, nutmeg, peanuts, sage and spinach.

Expensive foods such as caviar are good for abundance and prosperity, as are rich foods such as chocolate mousse or fois gras. These things are out of the price range of most of us, however. Meats such as beef, pork and chicken are also good for abundance and prosperity and don't typically cost an arm and a leg.

Splurge on a good cut of beef, or make a stir-fry with Chinese five-spice powder and a cheaper cut of meat. Five-spice powder includes star anise.

Make roast pork with dried fig sauce (Giada DeLaurentiis has a good recipe for this on foodtv.com)

Make eggplant parmesan.

Serve my Warm Spinach Salad with Bacon.

Charge a handful of peanuts with your intent and visualize as you eat. Do the same with macadamia nuts, or make some macadamia nut cookies. Eat before a job interview.

Pecans

Planet: Mercury
Element: Air
Energies: Money, employment

Eat pecans when seeking employment.

Pecans are falling from the trees here in the South. It's time to pick up a sack and start collecting! Imagine a warm, gooey homemade pecan pie devoured at the next new moon. What a delicious way to stir up some money magic! I also added pecans to my Prosperity Shortbread.

Pecan Pie recipe from www.simplyrecipes.com


Ingredients

2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp molasses
2 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups pecans, coarsely chopped

1 9-inch pie shell, chilled for an hour if freshly made, defrosted for 10 minutes if frozen.
Method

1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread pecans along the bottom of the pie shell. Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over pecans. The pecans will rise to the surface of the pie.

2 Bake at 375°F for 45-50 minutes until the filling has set. About 20 minutes into the cooking you may want to use a pie crust protector, or tent the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent the pie crust edges from burning.

3 Remove from oven and let cool completely.
