I haven’t featured a lot of computer generated art, but this collection of digital illustrations caught my eye. If you know me well, you know I love nudibranchs, small slug like sea creatures. This series, Unknown Unknown, by Zhang Chenxi is a tiny alien world comprised of hybridized animal/plant creatures, and where the very real and Earth-bound nudibranchs would fit right in. I don’t know much about this artist other than he is on Instagram and Behance. But I do know I love his imagination.
P.S. Please share. Also, I have put up another quote to download for your vision board. Enjoy.
Aries – Page of Cups
Take this last week of summer and enjoy yourself with the Page of Cups. This card wants you to get a fresh outlook on what is going on in your life right now. Try to have the perspective of a child who is discovering something for the first time, where everything is new and amazing.
Taurus – Knight of Swords
The Knight of Swords warns you not to rush into anything this week. Take things slow; consider all aspects before moving ahead. Usually when this card shows up you are moving too fast and are missing some important pieces to the puzzle. Or you are literally just not watching where you are going and can bruise your extremities or mess up projects.

The Ten of Wands tells you that this week might feel like an uphill battle. It will be full of responsibilities. Your challenge is to figure out which ones are yours and which are others, and then make the conscious choice as to which you will do first.
The Page of Pentacles is the card of the student. Take time to learn something new. The area where you need to do your studies is in the material plane: your work or environment.
The Queen of Pentacles is the gardener of the deck. You need to tend to your personal environment. These activities for example are deep cleaning part of your home, putting up shelves, stock your pantry, or gardening. The challenge is enjoying the space you are creating.
The Four of Swords would like you to take a respite. For some, you will need to take time out to reconsider something and for others you will just need the rest.
This week is a two card week and that means that there is a couple of messages for Leos. For all Leos, it is a week to do some investigative work. There are messages that are hidden out there. They just need you to do a little digging to find them. And for some of you this info will help you with what has been worrying you. The challenge is realizing what to actual worry about and what is just in your head.
Last week, the High Priestess challenged you to see the bigger picture while seeing the synchronicities in the details. This week the Ten of Pentacles shifts you from watching to doing. This is a great week to finish projects, which is appropriate for Virgos, because you are in your wind down month before your birthday. The challenge is finishing things you don’t want to carry into another year.
The Seven of Pentacles is the card of hard work. This week is a nose to the grind-stone week. The challenge is that the work you do is more of a long-term investment than an immediate return. But it will be worth the wait.
Okay, two cards for you again this week. Last week Hierophant came to the rescue advising you the more organized and prepared you are the easier it will be to navigate in and around the chaos. The Queen of Swords continues this theme that prep and strategy will be needed this week. And Justice comes in to warn you that things are more black and white then what they seem. Your challenge with both cards is not to be too harsh or cold to those around you or yourself.
The Six of Cups has two parts. One is that the past holds some important information for you to use this week, so no need to create new tricks. And the second is you need to take a child-like view to freshen your perspective. This card advises, if you have forgotten how to freshen up your point of view, get on the floor, color outside the lines, spin in circles or go swinging.
The Eight of Pentacles wants you to feel and practice your mastery this week. This is not a week to learn new tricks but hone the ones you already have.
The Two of Rods foretells success though it also involves a lot of waiting. The challenge is keeping busy during the waiting periods. This is a great time to catch up on your to do lists, read or start little projects.
The Page of Wands comes around when your Awe meter is low. Your challenge this week is get yourself into nature, go to a museum, a music show or anything that has to do with nature or art. Your passion for life needs to be re-lit. Life is good Pisces you just need to be reminded.
The Nine of Wands is about perseverance. For some reason this week you believe you need to take on more than you actually need to do. You have nothing to prove about your strength or your can do ideas of how you run your life. This card challenges you to lay just one thing aside this week to lighten you load. And for some of you rams you literally need to be careful of straining your back.
The Nine of Swords is the card of worry. Worry is just an aspect of fear. Take this week to look at your fears and see if there is any truth in them in the here and now not the past and future. Then take action with the present worries, and let the past and future worries disperse in the mist of unchangeable and uncertain.
Where last week collaboration was the key, this week the Nine of Pentacles says you get more done alone or with just a chosen few. Your challenge is to see your successes and bask in them before you get back to work.
The Page of Cups is the card of innocence. The challenge with this card is seeing things with fresh eyes and if you do you will find the solution or answer you need. If you are having a hard time with this – hang out with children, watch Anne with an E, or anything out of Miyazaki’s animation studio.
The journey continues with the Knight of Pentacles. The Knight of Pentacles means you are on the right path and your challenge is to get into the grove of your personal pace. All the Knights (movement) are all easy cards for your sign, so enjoy the journey and the wind in your hair.
The Six of Rods advises you to take a moment this week to notice how far you come from the beginning of this year. This is your half way point from your birth year. The challenge is not to sit on your laurels, but to ask what am I going to do with the next 6 months.
Companionship is the key this week. You have been out of the loop. It is time to call old friends and lift the glass even if it’s on FaceTime.
The Six of Swords’ lesson is about lightening the load that you carry with you. Whether that is mental or physical, you need to prioritize and hone down what you are carrying into your future. One thing with this card is that being by water can help in this process.
A couple of years ago I told you all about the Library of Congress 
The Star is the card of healing and hope. With the Queen of Wands last week, this is another week of looking at your work and purpose and asking – is what I’m doing or saying inspiring hope and healing? The challenge is realizing that we need to go to through the Tower (destruction) to get to the Star. And in so doing, we should not hide the suffering and sorrow in the world but at the very least stand and say “you are not alone” or at the Star’s height to help find positive solutions.
This week’s artist is 
Last week the Magician challenged you to experiment and see that the key to success are learning and building on your mistakes. This week continues that theme with the focus shifting to relationships. The solution is not so much learning from past mistakes but finding new ways to connect. Remember unconditional love is to truly seeing and saying I like you just the way you are – Mister Rodgers. 
The Queen of Wands embodies spiritual creativity. Your challenge is being mindful of what you create. She asks- What are you communicating with your creation? Will it improve the world? That challenge is daunting unless you remember the quote from Mother Theresa- I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
