A reading-room window onto the sky
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.

Castor and Pollux
the twins
The twins watch for the people you'd split your life for. Not the crowd, the one or two. Their stars rise in winter, side by side, almost the same brightness, and sailors used to take their appearing as good luck in a storm, two lights that meant you weren't alone out there. That's still what they mean. Somewhere there is a person who would go halves on the dark with you. The twins would ask, quietly, when you last told them so.
You've been living like the untouchable one, check on your mortal half.
