Virgo Libra Amulet

Combining:

Virgo -Earth- August 23 – September 23 “I Analyze” Virgo is a practical Earth sign that is adaptable in its mutable nature. Like Taurus loves the practical material objects but is not as passive. Virgo communicates on a practical level. They are meticulous critical discriminating, modest, analytic and orderly. This piece reflects the feel of this by giving the surface a very precise, ordered texture like the strata of sedimentary stone. The Virgo Amulet’s frame is a deep cut circle featuring the classic symbol in the center, framed in the texture of soil; like the earth holding the potential of bounty.

and

Libra ~Air~ September 23 – October 23/24 “We Balance” Libra is considered “Positive ” and cardinal resulting in being active and aggressive. However it has been called “the iron hand in the velvet glove”. Ever seeking harmony, Libras seek balance and often make it their life’s work. The classic image of the sign is offered within an unbalanced environment, strengthening it’s nature of idealism and charm. The Libra Amulet holds the classic symbol of the scales with a deep cut frame “brushed” with air moving in a multitude of directions. The Scales of its central focus provides the balance between directions, actions and intent.

Virgo and Libra form a SemiSextile aspect. This combination produces an intellectual and aesthetic harmony, both signs appreciate beauty, culture, and thoughtful conversation. Virgo admires Libra’s charm and diplomacy, while Libra respects Virgo’s orderliness and pragmatism. Together, they can create a calm, structured, and aesthetically pleasing environment.

Taurus – Scorpio Amulet

Taurus – Scorpio Amulet

Combining:

Scorpio ~Water~ October 23 – November 22 “I Create” Ruled by Mars and strong emotional tendencies, Scorpio tends to be true to its convictions and very passionate for good or ill. On the surface, Scorpio looks “changeable” yet in fact they are always on a solid path of self-evolution and improvement. In this amulet I have given the symbol a sense of strength and mobility with its watery environment. The Scorpio amulet holds the classic Glyph of Scorpio: double crescents with the arrow (cross of movement) at its tail; the symbol is encircled by a deeply cut frame and textured with turbulent water.

and

Taurus -Earth- April 20 – May 21 “I Have” Fixed Earth. Charming lovers of beauty. Affectionate, reliable and practical. Taurus provides a deep comfort: the warmth of home. The Taurus Amulet is simple and bold: the texture of that of the Strata of sedimentary rock: a favorite state of being for Taurus. The frame is cut deeply around the symbol to indicate the depth of their being extend far beyond the surface.

Taurus and Scorpio are Opposite signs in the zodiac: “opposites attract”. Taurus, is grounded, practical, and values stability, while Scorpio is intense, emotional, and transformative. Taurus provides security and calm, soothing Scorpio’s emotional intensity, while Scorpio motivates Taurus and encourages personal growth and emotional depth. Both are loyal, determined, and value privacy, often keeping their relationship intimate.

Sagittarius – Scorpio Amulet

Combining:

​Sagittarius ~Fire~ November 22 – December 21 “I Perceive” This is the Centaur shooting the arrow: aiming for the stars. Sagittarius aspires to great success and results for all their efforts. They are adaptive: mutable of nature. Self expressive of positive polarity with the energy and enthusiasm of Fire: trans-formative energy.

​Scorpio ~Water~ October 23 – November 22 “I Create” Ruled by Mars and strong emotional tendencies, Scorpio tends to be true to its convictions and very passionate for good or ill.

Forming a Semisextile aspect between Sagittarius and Scorpio combines the expansive and philosophical nature of Sagittarius with the intense and emotional depth of Scorpio. This aspect is often described as a best friend – enemy dynamic, where the two signs can be both supportive and combative to one another: confrontation and mutual discovery, leading to a strong bond that can be strengthened through shared interests and mutual growth.

Together they are ambitious and determined, which can make them a powerful team when working toward shared goals.

Aries Cancer Amulet

The Aries – Cancer Amulet

Aries ~Fire~ March 20/21 – April 20 “I Am” The First sign of the Zodiac is the point of beginnings. The sound and the fury primitive expression and the joy of being. Like the nature of the Ram, Aries tends to lower their heads and “go for it”

Cancer ~Water~ June 21 – July 23 “I Feel” The emotional nature in the cardinal mode becomes relentless. The self contained element tends to keep this quality below “the shell”. This results is a kind of pressure is very definitive goals in secretive or unconscious manifestation. Like the crab, they appear insensitive due to their “shell” yet very sensitive, even vulnerable. This also results in a non direct, side stepping approach to difficult issues.

Aries and Cancer are a Square Aspect: polar opposites, creating a push-pull dynamic that can lead to both intense attraction and frequent conflicts. Aries is bold, impulsive, and adventurous, while Cancer is sensitive, cautious, and emotionally driven. This contrast can make the relationship exciting, as Aries is drawn to Cancer’s nurturing nature, and Cancer admires Aries’ courage and enthusiasm. Avoid over-dependence or emotional dumping to maintain balance. This relationship is challenging but can be deeply fulfilling.

The Astro Blends

Posted by Amulets by Merlin on April 3, 2021
Posted in: Amulets, Astro-Blend, Pagan Jewelry, talismans, Wiccan Jewelry, Zodiac Amulets. Tagged: AstroBlend, Astrology Amulets, Astrology Pendants, Astrology Talismans, Zodiac Amulets. Tagged: astrological symbols, Zodiac Jewelry, Zodiac pendant, zodiac talisman. Leave a comment

Amulets are pieces of jewelry which are used for a purpose, each one holds a significant idea treasured by an individual and may be used as a reminder or tool. Sometimes it can represent a relationship such as a wedding ring represents the Union between people who are devoted to each other. Friendships, brotherhoods, circles, groves, churches, temples, families, societies; all these and more can harness a symbol crystalized as a ring or pendant and used as an amulet.

Astro Blends


The Astro Blends take two symbols from the Zodiac and combine them to create something new. In the majority of most people’s chart, we are born under a Sun sign (the house of Sun) and a Moon Sign (the house the moon occupies) at the time of one’s birth. By calculating these two aspects One can get a more accurate idea of the chart rather than using the basic House of One’s Sun.

Aries-Gemini



The Astro Blend many also be viewed as combining the two sun sign of a pair of friends or lovers, the Astro Blend may represent the friendship itself: the strength of two people’s attributes, strengths and how they support each other.

Capricorn-Cancer

When I design and make these Astro Blend Amulets, I weave them together creating a new glyph to reflect the concepts of blended ideas. Because they are Amulets, I attempt to project the core meaning with the shape of the piece.

Aries-Capricorn



Blending the all Astrological symbols will take some time and I have only begun this project. When you go to my website you will only find a few that I have created so far. Should you want me to make a blend I haven’t created yet, I would only be too happy to do so for you.

If you wish to have something made that isn’t an Astro Blend, no problem. Simply go to my How to order Custom Page for details on how to make something special for you, your friends or loved ones, even your group or organization.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Gemini/Pisces Amulet

Posted by Amulets by Merlin on March 26, 2021
Posted in: Amulets, Zodiac Amulets. Tagged: Astrology amulet, Astrology jewelry, Zodiac Amulets. Tagged: astrological symbols, Zodiac Jewelry, Zodiac pendant. Leave a comment

Blending the Zodiac houses can produce some interesting ideas. This project started with a request from a client. She wanted to combine the sun sign of herself and her friend.

Gemini-Pisces Amulet

The first of my Astro-Blends Combines :

Gemini ~Air~ May 21 – June 21 “I Think” This sign of the twins, nether positive nor negative yet the potential of both.
and
Pisces ~Water~ February 18/19 – 20/21 “I Believe” The flow of Mutable Water: sensitive; strong, deep emotions. Kind, sympathetic, receptive, and very intuitive.


This was originally designed as a one-of-a-kind, however because of the popularity of the piece, I have decided to offer this amulet as first of my Astro-blends. A sterling silver piece with the two signs of the zodiac woven together. The symbols are textured with “wind and water” to enhance the design.

When one looks to a chart, one discovers we are all a combination of these signs: our Sun sign can be very different from one’s Moon sign, so these Astro-Blends may actually be a more accurate representative our one’s own chart.

I am always trying out more designs, adding more pieces to my collection of Astrology Amulets. Check back often with me at my site Amulets by Merlin for the latest designs in Zodiac, Tarot, animal totems, money clips, brooches and more.

If you wish to have a blend of your choice and I haven’t made it yet, please visit my How to order custom page.

The Classic

Posted by Amulets by Merlin on March 25, 2021
Posted in: Amulets. Leave a comment

Taking a step in a new direction, I am now creating large gauge earrings. I thought it best to start with a “classic”: an open hoop earring with a “stopper” at one end.

These care cast in sterling silver and are about 4mm at the shank. The stopper is 8mm so it will hang in one’s ear, hidden from view.

I sell them singularly or in pairs.

Click the image above for more details.
