The Oracle - a self-portrait of sorts that encompasses the feeling of having walked the journey of evolution. In many ways I know so much more about how the world works and feel like I can peek through the veil into other realms, but there is so much I still don't understand. And the best part is, I get to continue this journey for as long as I'd like to, because you just never stop learning.

With this painting, I wanted to highlight a side of Saturn that is often overlooked - the side that balances out this punisher - the rewarder. Saturn doesn't just see retribution through a negative bias. To those who have earned it, he is just as happy to provide reward and prosperity. Saturn isn't inherently chastising - it is a neutral force.

The consequence depends entirely on the preceding action.🌾

I designed this character with a lot of care, a Dark Queen, for my Fantasy World. I would love to give her a story that matches her design, imposing and majestic, with a golden crown and piercing eyes, where her silhouette stands out to the fullest, pure darkness

I am a Canadian artist. This is Oil Pastel.

This is my own take on Baphomet. Many see him as literally a lord of beasts, but he is actually more about beast aspect, and embracing the beast within.

For this painting, I was inspired by the relationship between the Greek deities Ares and Athena - siblings who both embody the essence of war. However, while Ares personifies the untamed, wrathful aspect of a primal fight, Athena is the essence of military strategy and modern warfare.

In the Iliad, the two were constantly at loggerheads, particularly during the Trojan war. They hurt each other, trying to take control of the war and do it their way. And yet, the two were fully capable of working together when they had to save Olympus. This relationship, to me, truly embodies the dual nature of Squares in Astrology. On the one hand, it is a challenging aspect when neither party will budge from their position on life and purpose.

However, the moment we step away from what we already know, when we stop seeing the world as black and white and allow ourselves to flow into a state of fluid compromise, the opposing strengths of this challenging aspect can fill out our blind spots beautifully. It allows us a higher, all-encompassing perspective, helping us achieve integration in a way that makes us stable and unshakeable.
