is minting the Zodiac

According to the 2nd Hermetic principle
as above so below, as below so above
I've chosen the terrestrial realm to represent the heavens

THE STARS

Using floral elements and geometric shapes (leaves, flowers, colours),
each star video-loop describes the constellation's nature reassembling their deep relation with the elements ( fire, water, earth, air).
I've used the flowers to represent the stars

Each Zodiac Constellation is formed by a specific number of main stars,
and it corresponds to the number of their NFT copies.

VENUS in PISCES

From the Collection "Celestial Phenomena"

Venus in Pisces begins on February 25 2021 at 2:20 pm UTC time and it extends until March 21, 3:20 pm UTC time.

This digital art describes the fertility of the planet Venus in a water sign like Pisces. Lavender flowers are at the bottom, creating 2 semicircles, like the astrological symbol of Pisces. A circular, almost uterine shape collects light and generates a rhombus on the top. It is made up of 16 poppy ovaries.

I decided to create Venus in Pisces because it is a celestial phenomenon that happens once a year for about a month, it was also manifesting itself on the day of my birth :).
