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 real stars 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.

Aphrodite and Eros
the tied fish
Low in the autumn sky, faint, easy to miss, the tied fish watch for people who are pulling in two directions and haven't snapped. The job and the dream, the leaving and the staying, the you that wants and the you that worries. Aphrodite and Eros survived a monster by getting in the water together, tied, and the constellation keeps that arithmetic simple, you don't have to swim the same direction as the one you love. You just have to keep the cord slack enough to live and short enough to feel.
Two truths are pulling at you, you don't have to cut one loose today.
