Tin (♃ Jupiter)

Tin is the metal of Jupiter (♃), the planet of expansion, benevolence, and magnanimity. In the sevenfold metal-planet system described by Kollerstrom, tin's malleable, silvery character and its remarkable willingness to alloy with other metals reflect Jupiter's generosity and amplifying influence. Tin lowers the melting point of copper to form bronze, an alloy far stronger than either constituent — a material enactment of Jupiter's capacity to elevate through combination. Among the seven metals, tin stands closest to silver in appearance, suggesting its position as a near-noble substance requiring only modest refinement.
