EmpressConstellation graphic concept

Understanding the number 3.
Is the number of divinity, but also of joy and expansion. Considered a highly creative number, and it is not casual that in many religions there is a trinity; Father - Son - Holy Spirit, Brahma - Vishnu - Shiva.

Number 3 is the result of the union of opposites in the 2. I see the 3 as a bridge between 2 diferent worlds, the middle point of equilibrium, the charm, the grace, the gift (in Spanish we say "el don").

The Constellation, Mayors (the bonding of the Mayor Arcana cards)

- Water - The Hanged Man 12, represents the surrender of the being in the oceanic collective unconcious in order to be liberated, or submerged in new posibilities.  I associate this card with the first step of the creative process, incubation or brooding. That's the reason why I put the card on the left side of the graphic.

- Earth - The Empress 3, is the creative "outbreak" or "explosion" of the ideas of The Hanged Man. The idea of "birth" is first conceived during the brooding process of The Hanged Man. The Empress just takes the seed (idea) and brings it to full bloom. She nurtures and gives birth to form without restrictions or impositions. I associate this card with the "implementation" step in the creative process.  The Empress is in the middle position of the graphic design representing the bridge between the opposites, The Hanged Man and The Universe.

- Fire - Water - Air - Earth - The Universe 21, represents wholeness and completion of the creation, the voyage of the Empress completes a cicle of creation. The Universe encompasses the "alpha and omega" of creation. The Universe is the "resolution" step in the creative process. I put The Universe on the right side of the graphic to represent materialization.

The Constellation, Minors (the bonding within the Minors and with The Empress)

The 4 suite cards represent the qualities that help The Empress in her creative endeavor. The 4 elements sustain her eternal procedures.

- Fire -  The 3 of Wands of The Voyager Tarot furthers itself from the usual meaning of this card.  It represents "compassion", the healing spirit of The Empress. Compassion nurtures the creations of the Empress.

- Water - The 3 of Cups represents the heart of the Empress. Love is what makes all things possible and it is the quality that holds everything together and moves creation forward.

- Air - The 3 of Crystals represents the creativity that prospers The Empress and makes her creation a never ending process.

- Earth - The 3 of Worlds represents the nurturing role of The Empress. Whitout nurturing, her creation will die.

The Magician Constellation

This is my birthdate constellation:
8/17/1947

8 + 17 + 1947 = 1972

1 + 9 + 7 + 2 = 19 The Sun , 10 The Wheel , 1 The Magician

The Magician is the driving force, the initiator of the manifested experiences of life. The table is the altar where he arranges and organizes matter using the 4 elements for his creation.  He canalizes the energy from the source, the SUN: an homage to all life in the planet. The Sun is the nurturing light that promotes growth in the physical and spiritual realms.  Nothing can exist, grow or prosper without the SUN, except darkness and void. Growth is the process of evolution manifested from the 4 Aces trough the 10ths Suite Cards.

 As long we have a Magician inside and a source of light, SUN, the Wheel of Life will move endlessly pronouncing the cycles and processes, and recording our growing experiences trough life.

My own experience with the costellation
I`m a very creative individual and a natural leader. An art teacher and therapist for 31 years, a Tarotist for 20 years. A very cheerful, outgoing and happy personality, but with many secrets keep inside. Very loyal, but few friends. Ultra sensitive and perceptive.

I had always had big issues and difficulties leading with beginnings and with endings, as I could not stay in the medium of processes and have to go through them accidentally,not letting time to mature them. I tend to force processes, to lead them, and feel responsible for them. I always see the whole picture first and then see the small pieces and details. It has never been easy to see the details before the whole and that had bring many misunderstandings in my day to day life and with the more significant people: love ones.  I perceive the endings at the beginnings, proving me right in most instances, and feel very overwhelmed by the people that cannot do the same...

Change had been my greatest teacher. My life had been full of conflicts, but much satisfactions from my artistic talents.
