‘When we think back to the woman in the Two of Swords, she’s sitting calmly and appears to be contemplating something. Much like a cautious artist, she carefully considers her next move before approaching her canvas, allowing her instincts to guide the way.’

– Kira Ryberg, The 36 Decans Guidebook

Libra I is a portal.

Kening Zhu’s illustration contains softness and sharpness. The ruthless swords are haloed with the luminosity of the moon.

The sharpness of the blades reminds us of coming to the point, making a decision.

The softness of the moon evokes intuition, dreams, and initiations.

Every artwork requires both sacrifice and desire.

Venus and the Moon.
