Art and design are magic — infused with intention as they are brought into reality. Through our Zodiac Collection journals and notebooks, we breathe life into every zodiacal sign, further forging a relationship with the cosmos and these creations that you may hold in your hands. Each Zodiac cover design embodies the essence of the sign they represent — little visual poetic musings. They act like sigils, artistic expressions, and spells in secret.
The Zodiac Collection features the 12 signs of the zodiac and their layers of interwoven secrets. Central to the design is the symbol of the zodiac sign, itself. A claim of rulership and embodiment. This is the first step, where the characteristics of that sign send waves through every page. At the crown of the illustration you will find the sign’s association with the seven rays, followed by the tarot suit, ruling planet, the exaltation, the decan rulers, the modality of the sign, and the element of the sign. Cocreating a truly unique vision that speaks to the layers of cosmic influence at play.
The ruling planet is the planet that oversees and naturally connects to the astrological sign. The exaltation is a dignified placement, a space where a planet may feel its best or more heightened. The decan rulers are sub-influences, where any given sign is divided into three equal parts (about 10º) and assigned a ruling planet that supports that degree range of the sign. The decan rulers chosen are based on the Chaldean Order (planetary speed) and the associations to the Astro Code + Decan Tarot Wheel (see page 18 in the planner). The modality of a sign shows its mode, how it responds to stimuli, and how it exercises its actions. There are three modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. Lastly, the element is the natural element that the sign embodies, such as Fire, Earth, Air, or Water.
