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.

A Mystic Card · the constellation over you now
Astraea's scales
the scales of justice
High above, where the veil thins, hang the Scales. They waited, still, empty, a breath held. Once held by a goddess, then by the Scorpion’s hard grip, they now offer no judgment until you bring your own question to them. Not a prophecy, not a command, but an invitation. This is what they ask, these dust-gold pans: what truth will you place inside, what weight do you truly seek to measure, and for whom?
Someone left the porch light on for your better judgment, use it.
