Leo – Capricorn Amulet

Combining:

Leo ~Fire~ July 23 – August 23 “I Will” The element of Fire is expressed with enthusiasm is focused an almost single minded devotion. Happiest while in the center of attention they are creative, graceful and dignified, proud determined and dramatic.
​
Capricorn -Earth- December 22 – January 19/20 “I Use” Cardinal Earth brings Capricorn forward as extremely practical in every day life. They have the ability to withdraw and bide their time. They are reliable with help as well as in pointing out the faults of others. The eternal pessimist they still find a way to succeed in the goals.
​
Leo and Capricorn form a Inconjunct aspect. Leo is bold, charismatic, and thrives on attention, while Capricorn, an earth sign, is pragmatic, disciplined, and values structure and long-term goals. These differences can create a complementary balance: Leo brings warmth, enthusiasm, and social charm, while Capricorn provides stability, focus, and practical guidance. Together they are ambitious and determined, which can make them a powerful team when working toward shared goals.

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.

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.

A few years ago I was contacted by Robert Koubia with an inquiry if I could make an amulet for him for a movie. In the past I had created jewelry for a television character “Q” in an unreleased TV show and some work for a time travel film created in France: “The Visitors”. It also wound up hitting the cutting room floor, so although I was excited to be part of a production, I knew right away that possibility that my work would be on the screen was small.

This time it was not the case.

Over several days we discussed the design and I produced a master work for him and into the mail. And, just in case it might get damaged, I offered him an extra copy to work with. He wound up using both pieces on the screen!

After signing a Non Disclosure Agreement and told that they just started shooting my expectation dwindled and years passed. Then as my Wife was dying he contacted me again with questions about revisions. In a matter of days I did it all over again with new designs and I pushed it out the door without any more thought about it.

Another two years passed and while tooling through Netflix I stumbled over the movie: “Singularity” and sat in amazement as I watched the amulet pop up on screen again and again. Apparently it did not get tossed out by the editor this time, it even appeared as a major illustration in the “mechanism” of the “machine”.

No Spoilers: I will say no more. But I must say I was very pleased to be selected to help in the production. Even though I was not listed in the  IMBd, I did get to be in the credits of the film as “prop designer”!

My experience in theater is small, like so many I got a chance to trod the boards in High school under the tutelage of Charles Peters in Fullerton California.  I didn’t pursue the theater as a career but got a small taste of a large production and loved working with Mr. Koubia: a very thoughtful, meticulous and professional Director. I hope to be able to do such a thing again some day.
