✿ · Every reading, woven into one story

The Flower of Life

Your life as one story, told by all the readings at once: the day you came, what you are made of, the road you are walking, where you stand now, and what they ask of you.

The Flower of Life is an old figure of nineteen overlapping circles. Here each circle is one of the readings read from your birth: the six of the Golden Dawn's house round the heart, the twelve of the wider world round them. At the heart stands the degree your Sun was born under, and its Sabian symbol. This is our own reading, and says so: every fact in it comes from the reading it names, and the story that joins them is ours.
