Sun Sign Card
A birthday card for any sign, or a card for a new arrival or for Christmas: the Sun in the sign drawn large as a signature piece in soft watercolour, the occasion in capitals above it and the sign’s own line beneath. Inside, the sign’s dates, element, modality and ruler and a few words on the sign, or for a baby their Sun, their Moon and the Moon’s phase that night. 4 × 6 in, folded, with an envelope.
