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: hidden worlds, the maternal, erotic fantasies

Aquarius III is lit by the Moon and wrapped in Venusian silks.

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.

cardinal earth: keys, secrets, compartments

Capricorn III is the place where the building work of Capricorn II comes to fruition. Where the vault is filled with treasure, and the ruler carries a ring of heavy keys.

cardinal earth: mysticism, affect, visions

On earth, diamond rain would be a frightening phenomenon; a dangerous weather event. But on Saturn and Jupiter, the two planets that co-rule this decan, it is not uncommon for diamond rain to fall.

Fixed water: hunger, desires, indulgence

There is fun and playfulness and drama in feasting – the Martial double-edged sword of creation and destruction.

Fixed water: undead mermaids, undersea salons, slime

‘Goo-Goo Lagoon’ shows XXX in a ‘rococo undersea salon full of kitschy trinkets, her appearance, everything about the scene, should appear excessive and slightly off.’

Mutable earth: roses, funerary plants, secrets.

The sweetness of Venus, with the fast movement of Mercury, speeds up the border between ripeness and rot, and between freshness and decay.

Virgo II is about late summer slipping into autumn. Melancholy and heavy ripeness. Delicious fruits that mark the end of the harvest.

Mutable air: circulation of ideas, intrusive thoughts, risk-taking

There is something so compelling abut the poison apple; it is sweeter, juicier, shinier, and a deeper colour than any other fruit. But its seductive appeal means that it is easy to ignore the fatal aspects.

Fixed earth: wild animals, practical witchcraft, poetry

Rathore’s poem ‘Alison Device (1594-1612), named for a Pendle witch, is a beautiful meditation on mortality and desire.

Fixed air: hacking, repurposing systems, linguistic play

Berg’s collection offers this small hope, this tiny act of witchcraft in a collection that both reproduces and interrogates patriarchal violence and its necrotizing effect.

Cardinal earth: rapaciousness, growth, deep roots

Hedges, like lawns, are of no use to the witch unless they are overgrown, wild, and generative.

Mutable fire: film screens, spectrality, excess

‘You want to pee in a red hood you want to lock yourself inside the house. You want to sleep with the wolf. You want to turn on the oven.’

Mutable fire: wild fire, contamination, neon.

Anna and Melissa ate with some ceremony, taking tiny bites and washing them down with tea.
