In this piece, I wanted our character clad in black to symbolize how she mourns a loss. The white of her sleeves underneath show peace and hope, but she chooses to cover it up with this thick black drapery, because she'd rather let her golden heart bleed. Her head is in the water, where she can drown the world out, and her sadness is so deep and loud, even the white water lilies recede into shadow.

In this painting, I wanted our centaur to embody the core of Sagittarius' toxic traits - a complete refusal to take responsibility. He is on a remote, isolated cliff having run away from the rest of the world, only to find that the world outside is nothing but a mirror that shines a light on his own inner darkness.

He might flee the world, but he doesn't realise that what he's really trying to run away from is the one thing he simply can not evade - himself.

A Synastry in astrology is when you map out and align the charts of two individuals, to learn about the potential dynamics at play within a relationship. This could be a friend, a partner, a colleague, a parent - any dynamic that involves two people is a synastry.

Our inner trines and squares, our venusian and mercurial tendencies, our fires and waters, they can only take us so far until we run into another being with their own trines, squares, fires and waters. And suddenly, what we thought we understood about ourselves no longer works the same way - suddenly, we must look at how our individual journeys weave into the fabric of collective evolution.

And just like that, one becomes two, two become four, four become eight and eight become eight billion.

I've been working on a light and dark Zodiac deck for years, making the art myself, but I've never done card design before. As I'm coming to the end of the art series, I've been experimenting with putting my paintings into an oracle card format.

Can you guys let me know which of these you prefer? I'm leaning towards the first one with the all-over image with the text overlay, but I've also done a second version with an image insert and the text against a white background. Plus the last one is just a more experimental/artsy one which I'm not sure about - the little starry/design details might be too distracting.

What do you think?

Thanks!

In this painting I wanted to depict a sextile as a rowing team on a boat. The path they must navigate isn't simple, they have to wind around mountains. But because of their easy harmony, the waters are calm and will let them float with ease. However, if they want to make it beyond the mountains out to the open sea, they must work together and go through the motions of rowing, or they will forever be stuck where they started.

Here, our character is a god of nature. With a single touch, he could bring life, growth, and prosperity to all. Yet, he withholds it. He lets the world starve, thirst, and crumble — finding twisted joy in his superiority.
This is a cold reminder that when wealth and abundance are hoarded by the few, the world suffers.
What is growth worth if it is never shared?
