This painting is full of detail that draws your eye into the centre which is where the conclusion of the painting lies. The meaning of this painting is held in your astrological birth chart and is a modern day reference to The Last Supper.

If you study where the planets were at the time of your birth you will learn more deeply about yourself and each individual part of yourself. Each of the 12 characters here depict a personality within each month which when understood and mastered by you about you will help you to become whole and thrive and shine like a beacon of truth. We all have our place in the fractals of life so it's good to find where you resonate best so that you can live a happy and peaceful life.

The splay of the peacocks eyes around the central light are based on the peacock's feathers, the eyes of which are associated with wisdom and vision, and within the eyes I have accentuated them as heart shapes to add love to the message. I also added the feathers here in this way to show the pineal glad within the centre of your head (often depicted as a pine cone the shape of which is suggested here too) that allows for an individual to see clairvoyantly and beyond 3D. The peacock itself symbolises the rising of the phoenix as you transform and get to know and love yourself better for who you truly are. And aptly I later discovered that in Egypt the peacock is often associated with the sun god Ra and the all seeing eye of Horus and in Christianity it was the symbol of death and resurrection of Jesus the reference of which seems to naturally fit in with this image too. And finally the peacock also destroys poisonous snakes, the snakes of which in my work represents the basic reptilian brain - suggesting here the benefits of connecting more with our intuition and empathy. The Deerhound offers the energy of lightening speed because they are incredibly swift in the way they move and as a spirit totem they hold the energy of integrity - much of which is needed in the process of knowing yourself well. The Kestrel also offers mental speed, agility and grace to the viewer as well as infinite patience and ability to recognise opportunities and acting upon them at the exact right moment. He is here to teach us to fully commit to our actions for the greatest success. The spider helps to maintain a balance between the past and the future and gives us the sensitivities required to help us move creatively with the rhythm of nature herself. The spider being here also helps you to keep focused on your journey to know yourself truly well, constantly reminding you when to let go and start again with a gentleness, strength and agility.
