About

A mysterious, high-end writing desk dedicated to crafting horoscopes and auguries: a deep mahogany surface holds an open notebook with thick, ivory pages filled with neat, looping handwriting and intricate planetary glyphs. A slender, matte-black fountain pen rests diagonally across the page. To the side, a circular brass zodiac wheel, finely engraved, lies partially atop a folded midnight-blue silk cloth printed with faint silver stars. A small hourglass with obsidian sand stands near the back edge. The scene is lit by warm, focused task lighting from a modern brass desk lamp, producing a pool of golden light in the center and leaving the periphery in soft shadow. Photographic realism, eye-level composition with the notebook in sharp focus, creates an atmosphere of quiet, deliberate interpretation of the gods’ language through writing.

Unbeliever’s Augury

Skeptical-friendly astrology and tarot for people who crave meaning, not melodrama or mysticism.

About

I came to astrology and tarot as a skeptic, staying because their symbols named experiences language could not. My work treats charts and cards as poetic tools for clear seeing, not unquestioned fate.

My approach

A meticulously arranged tarot altar on a deep indigo velvet cloth, featuring a single, ornate tarot deck fanned in a gentle curve, card backs displaying a subtle constellation pattern in gold foil. Beside it rests a black obsidian sphere and a slender brass candleholder with a freshly extinguished beeswax candle, a wisp of smoke curling upward. The setting is atop a dark walnut table near a tall window, with late-afternoon natural light casting soft, angled beams that pick up the metallic details. The background is softly blurred shelves of leather-bound books and astrological charts. Photographic realism, shot at eye level with a shallow depth of field, creating an atmosphere that feels sophisticated, contemplative, and quietly magical, like a study devoted to decoding divine language without any human presence.

A refined still life of celestial tools: a heavy, dark-blue leather-bound grimoire embossed with subtle silver constellations lies closed on a polished black walnut desk. Atop the book sits a finely crafted brass astrolabe, its interlocking rings etched with precise zodiac symbols and degrees, catching glints of light. Nearby, a thin crescent-shaped silver dish cradles small tumbled stones—amethyst, labradorite, and smoky quartz—each with delicate internal flashes. The desk is positioned beside a tall, narrow window draped with sheer gray curtains, letting in cool, diffused twilight that reflects faintly off the astrolabe. Background details include a blurred, framed star map and the faint outline of a bookshelf. Photographic realism, shot at a three-quarter angle with moderate depth of field, evoking an atmosphere of disciplined, elegant occult study.

A large, antique-looking astrological natal chart printed on heavy, cream-colored paper with deckled edges, spread flat across a charcoal linen-covered table. Intricate circular glyphs, fine ink lines, and handwritten annotations in sepia ink form a complex celestial mandala. A polished brass compass and a weighty fountain pen rest near the chart’s edge, while a thin pair of tortoiseshell reading glasses lies folded farther back. Soft overhead pendant lighting, warm and diffused, creates gentle highlights on the metallic compass and subtle shadows in the chart’s creases. The background shows an out-of-focus library of dark wood shelves and star maps pinned to the wall. Photographic realism, composed from a slightly elevated angle with crisp focus on the chart’s center, evoking an atmosphere of scholarly divination and refined, intellectual mysticism.

A minimalist tarot spread of three cards laid out in a clean row on a smooth black stone slab, each card illustrated with modern, abstract gold line art of archetypal symbols against matte ivory backgrounds. A slender, matte-black ceramic incense holder rests at the top of the frame, a single stick smoldering and releasing a fine ribbon of smoke that curls upward and diffuses. The scene is set in a dim room illuminated by a single unseen side lamp, casting dramatic, angled light that creates sharp card shadows and delicate highlights along the stone’s edges. The background fades into deep charcoal blur. Photographic realism, captured from a slightly overhead angle with tight framing, creating a sophisticated, enigmatic atmosphere suited to introspective, non-dogmatic readings.
