The record
If it's got 78 cards, it must be a tarot deck, right? Well, maybe not. Despite the number, the Visual Zodiac oracle is based not on tarot but on astrology. By an intriguing coincidence it works out to be the same number of cards as a tarot. The first twelve cards are each assigned a sign of the zodiac. The rest of the cards each get two signs. All possible combinations are covered, and this is what gives us 78. The art is atmospheric, minimalist, and evocative. It's a simple style that conveys a lot of emotion, and expresses clearly the personality types of the zodiac. There's some clever takes on the individual signs: a circus ringmaster for Leo, a magician of dark arts for Scorpio, a court jester for Aquarius. But in the combinations of signs the creativity of the artists really shines. On the Aries/Gemini card, two people are in a heated debate after a car accident, but they are identical twins. On the Taurus/Pisces card, someone sits on the ground, under a tree, meditating. The Leo/Libra card shows someone kissing his own face in a mirror. And Gemini/Pisces shows a tarot reader. The cards have no words on them. There are no keywords or phrases, no names of goddesses or angels.
