Gates of Time

The Astrological Collection

“Astrology is the subtle art of attuning to cosmic cycles — the dancing web of gravitational forces pulling the tides of energy and consciousness on Earth.

There is a season for everything, and astrological alignments are thresholds between seasons. With each alignment, a unique gate of opportunity appears.”

— Celine Cardineau

Astrological themes come through my work both consciously and unconsciously. Many times, I witness symbols or archetypes emerge intuitively, which are later confirmed by astrological timing. Occasionally, I use my art to consciously respond to a particular celestial cycle, in order to attune to its living energetics. These collections are examples of the latter.

ABOVE ~ The “Zodiac Gates” are the 12 seasonal thresholds of the year. My intention was to feel into these subtle seasons, to better comprehend them. Working on miniature canvases, I challenged myself to include symbols spanning the Animal, Plant, and Mineral kingdom, to avoid falling into stereotypical imagery. Each gate is transposed onto a spiral grid of my own design, whose orientation corresponds to the sign’s element. I spent one year focused on the Cardinal signs, another to complete Fixed signs, and will complete the Mutable signs in 2026.

BELOW ~ The “Rose Gates” depict the 9 chapters of the Venusian cycle. In her sacred dance with the sun, moon, and earth, our sister planet Venus ascends and descends the 7 chakras in the body, as well as the Earth Star and Soul Star chakras.

Painting on round sheets of mineral paper, I allowed my stylistic technique to shapeshift according to the energetic experience of each subtle season.

Influenced by mystical initiations of the Rose Priestess path, each painting features a rose, the quintessential symbol for Venus (beauty, femininity, and harmony).
