Cardinal fire: excess, intimacy, pleasure

The afterparty is a temporary zone, a place that exists in relation to the party, but that has its own rarefied atmosphere.

Cardinal fire: lighting the flame, calling in unconscious desires, light beyond the visible spectrum

The prism captures light and uses it to transform what can be seen. It is a form of practical magic.

Cardinal fire: birthing, thresholds, casting the spell

What do we need to pierce a hole into the new world?

Soundtracks to imaginary horror films and pink light on a gloomy morning.

Mutable water: striking the set, lunar glamour, screens

You enter the lunar realm and are captivated by the shimmer of the screen.

This special event will consider the power of objects, nostalgia, and childhood as the dreamy season comes to a close.

Mutable water: the void, dark energy, wishes

But it is possible to fall too deep into this part of Pisces and to struggle to come back.

Mutable water: abundance, birthday cake, desires

If you spend too long anticipating the wish, or hoarding objects that represent past struggles, you might not enjoy the only thing that really matters – the present moment.

Mutable water: tiny artefacts, dreamscape, hidden moons

What Pisces offers is a way to change the scale; to create tiny artefacts from cosmic incidents so that we can understand them more deeply.

Fixed air: theatricality, new world, subversion

I don’t see this as just the card of deceit, but one of the hysteric and drama queen – visionaries who are rarely taken seriously and who can do some subversive damage as a result.

Fixed air: hidden worlds, the maternal, erotic fantasies

The Six of Swords is about the magician, the passer between realms, the holder of liminal spaces, the one who cuts through.

Fixed air: shapeshifting, divination, underworld

They can act as a mirror for the forbidden impulses in all of us; a dangerous and holy place to exist.

Fixed air: self-determination, excommunication, liberation

The Five of Swords asks us to distinguish between the battle and the war

Fixed air: exile, iconoclasm, rebellion

The black sheep remains uniquely itself. It is a symbol of self-determination.

Fixed air: exile, un-home, paradoxes

To write the ecological uncanny, then, is to spend time in these ‘generic out-houses’, and to lie squat beneath the heavy architecture of habit and belief.

Fixed air: occult systems, leaky borders, containers

The necropastoral offers a key to looking at obscured but visible worlds that exist in the interstices of the media, the spectacle, the haunting.

Cardinal earth: sovereignty, cushioning, crowns

What it might mean to land on the ‘cushioned’ throne – a place where you are living in comfort, but perhaps glossing over what it has taken to get here.
