The Cosmic Clock is a hand-built historical infographic — years of research into astrology, arithmology and theosophy, distilled into one dense, symbol-rich diagram. Made for anyone drawn to pattern, myth and the history of ideas as much as striking design.

What it maps
Three disciplines, one diagram.
The Cosmic Clock doesn't illustrate one tradition — it layers three, so the connections between them become visible instead of theoretical. It's a work of historical and artistic research, made to be studied and displayed for its design as much as its ideas.
Astrology
The wheel of signs, planets and houses, rendered as the poster's structural skeleton — the clockface time itself is measured against.
Arithmology
The sacred meaning of number woven into the geometry — proportion and count as their own layer of meaning.
Theosophy
The esoteric current running beneath both — the poster's quiet argument that time, number and sky were never separate ideas.
One purchase, every size
Your $18 purchase includes the full 3×4 ft master file and every crop below, pre-cut to standard, easy-to-find frame sizes — nothing extra to buy. Want to print smaller while keeping every line legible? Use one of these instead of shrinking the master file yourself. Just bring or email whichever file you want to your local print shop and request a print at the listed size. Standard frames in these sizes are easy to find online too — IKEA, Michaels, and Amazon all stock these exact dimensions.

The file
Built to be printed large.
This is a print-resolution file, not a screen mockup — sized so the detail holds up when it's framed and living on a wall.

Already cropped for you
No need to crop anything yourself — the purchase includes the full master file plus 8 pre-cropped, standard-frame-ready sizes (see above), so text stays legible even at smaller print sizes. Some buyers even use one of the wheel crops to mark a birthday, highlighting the exact point on the wheel of time.
Viewing on iPhone
For smooth pinch-to-zoom, save the file to your Photos library rather than the Files app — some iPhones limit zooming on files kept outside Photos.
Thousands of years, one throughline
The research traced how astrology, number and myth actually developed — from Sumer and Babylon through Egypt, Greece and Rome into the Hellenistic period where astrology as we know it took shape.

The artist
Made by hand, over years.
Cavan Drake is a full-time carpenter and self-taught esoteric artist working out of Middlebury. The Cosmic Clock began as a private study of astrology, number and symbol, and slowly became a poster — the kind of piece he wanted on his own wall and couldn't find anywhere else.
