scorpio
The composition of Scorpio was inspired by one of Alphonse Mucha's beautiful Art Nouveau posters, Dance. This painting was part of a series celebrating the different moods of the four seasons. I felt the sensual lines and posture of the figure perfectly captured the essence of Scorpio - mysterious, captivating, and provocative.
Known for being secretive and private, Scorpio holds mysteries that only those who are deemed trustworthy will ever unlock, but watch out - that sting packs quite the punch! This sexually magnetic sign is associated with strong emotions such as passion, jealousy, and revenge.

libra
Libra took compositional inspiration from the Parisian perfume advertisement for Lance Parfum's Rodo. This poster was created by Mucha in 1896 and advertised one of the company's most successful products. The absolute tranquility and beauty captured by the expression of the figure as well as the luxurious silken robe she is wrapped in exemplified what I felt was a perfect expression of Libra.
Libra is associated with all things beautiful and symmetrical. Emotional control and conflict avoidance can sometimes mean Libra sacrifices their truest desires to ensure social harmony. However, be assured this charismatic sign will find a way to achieve balance.
