Mystic Cards
A Mystic Card takes the constellation riding highest over you right now, where you stand, and hands you the old Greek myth behind its name, painted in our own hand, with the constellation's realstars laid over it in their true positions. Draw what's near, or draw at random.
It isn't a fortune. It's an invitation, sit with an ancient story for a minute and notice what it echoes in your own week. The constellation overhead changes through the night and the seasons; or pick any of the 33 below.

Astraea's scales
the scales of justice
Astraea, the last to leave, her gaze a long, slow sigh over the bruised, loud earth. Humanity had grown too heavy, too tangled in its own sharp edges. So she climbed, a soft shadow against the emerging dark, leaving her perfect, quiet scales behind. A whisper of silver in the night sky, forever hung there, an empty, shimmering promise for a justice lost, for the quiet truth that waits to be held again.
Someone left the porch light on for your better judgment, use it.
