☾⭒.˚ 2026 Annual Moon Calendar ☾⭒.˚
As we move toward the Year of the Fire Horse in February, shedding the final stretch of the Wood Snake, @illlu.mina and I felt called to create something that honours both cycles.

This calendar merges Chinese astrology with the Western calendar, holding space for January as a bridge between the two. A quiet overlap, a moment of integration reminding us that everything still moves in cycles.

Designed around the moon phases of 2026, this calendar was created to add a pause to your day. Not something to over-analyse or plan rigidly around, but something to glance at. A reminder to align your intentions, timing and movement with the natural rhythms already at play.

The Fire Horse carries themes of momentum, courage, clarity and self-exploration. It asks for forward motion without chaos. Direction without force.

Designed to live where you’ll see it often: on a fridge, studio wall, or place of inspiration, quietly becoming part of your daily rhythm.

Printed on high-quality A3 craft paper.
Nine available.
R500
Available at Saint VII and via DM to order.

We hope this year brings clarity in your movement, courage in your decisions, and the confidence to move forward in your own time. Happy New Year friends!! *ੈ✩‧₊˚

Sometimes the urge to create comes from a space beyond me ~ deep symbolism, messages and signs from all my guides, always speaking, always reminding.

~ @illlu.mina ~

Up until now I’ve shared my art, paintings, illustrations and all that I use to express my most inner world under my own name but over time I’ve realised the art that flows through me carries her own identity and has a unique way of expressing herself.

The concept of bringing light, revealing truth, gently, yet persistently have been consistent themes in everything I set out to create, expressing what can’t be said in words. This name has moved through me from illuminé to illumin(a) ~ soft, feminine with a sense of mystery. She has spoken to me through uncanny coincidental chats with a stranger on a dancefloor, as a cartoon star hanging in the night sky, changes positions every night in a desert in Portugal, in my alter egos need to communicate serious things in a French accent only, the inspiration has been endless.

@illlu.mina is here to share in subtle, detailed, wholehearted ways. She embodies a space for illustration, tattooing, and the exchange that happens when art moves from one soul to another. With a whole lot of meaning behind every mark.

Tattooing, especially, feels like one of the most profound forms of connection: a lasting dialogue between artist and skin, intention and memory. I haven’t been on this journey for long. But I’m so grateful for the trust, the mentorship, the interactions and connections I’ve received up until now, and this is the beginning of sharing more openly, more authentically.

Thank you for being here

It all started in my pixie shack, when @slow.mettie__tattoo came over with pizzas and his first stick n poke kit and said “you’re learning how to tattoo today sistah”
After a cute evening and a very wonky lettered word “love” left on Mattie’s skin, I knew this was something I wanted to pursue.

This craft never seemed to stick in my daily routine whilst navigating life, love, travels, film work and all the things I’ve filled my days with up until now.

Fast forward a couple years and I find myself being asked by @mambo_tattoos (a stranger at the time) “you should really think about tattooing” after exchanging some of our stories as travelling artists. ˚⭒˚.⋆

We made a deal on a lake in Poland that if we happen to bump into each other again, he’ll be mad if I’m not tattooing my then. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Fast forward another year and I find myself in Berlin again being taught how to use a machine by the same stranger that quickly became a dear mentor and friend.
🪡 🫙🫧

These images were my first attempts at taking old illustrations and turning them into flash, understanding how it will look on skin. Practicing in on fake skin with a portable machine that literally felt like a big permanent pen. ᝰ.ᐟ🀢

Eearlier this year, this same design I’d been practicing on and guiding me was tatted on my dear friend Sam by my first teacher Mettie, and really felt like a full circle moment. ༄⋆˚𓅮 ࿔⋆˙⟡ 𓇳
