fawn-stellations

Aries: A fine gold wire that twists and curves in delicate shapes. Images of leaves and fruiting vines. A relic from a time when food grew here.

Taurus: A blob of silver, melted out of shape. To your surprise, it fits perfectly on your finger.

Gemini: A ring of heavy steel, made to bind something old. The fine details of the angular knotwork are long faded. It is not yours to keep. 

Cancer: A simple bronze band, set with a piece of fire coral cast in resin. A wedding present. It smells of salt and blood.

Leo: A ring of stark black iron. A small spike extends from the top. Inside it is a length of delicate red thread. The greatest of a set of 55.

Virgo: A gold ring set with a brilliant cats eye gem, taken from the fingers of a statue that stood in a cursed and forbidden place, now displayed in a market stall. 

Libra: A ring of finely polished wood, made by an old friend. It has power, but only to you.

Scorpio: A pair of broad gold bands baring symbols of an old culture. Their shape is meant to invoke memories of shackles. 

Ophiuchus: An incomplete circle of twisted metal, reclaimed from the wreckage of the disaster at the train yard. It sits on your skin awkwardly, a constant reminder.

Sagittarius: A band of featureless cast iron, quenched in oil and fat. The ring is a great secret, denoting membership to an ancient and esoteric order. 

Capricorn: A ring made from ivory, painted with faded images of flowers. An antique collecting dust on a shelf. Memories of the whale it was made from.

Aquarius: A single nail, bent and coiled into a ring. Wearing it is a painful ordeal, but it draws out strength you never knew you had.

Aries: Slytherin

Taurus: Hufflepuff

Gemini: Slytherin

Cancer: Hufflepuff

Leo: Gryffindor

Virgo: Ravenclaw

Libra: Gryffindor

Scorpio: Slytherin

Sagittarius: Gryffindor

Capricorn: Ravenclaw

Aquarius: Ravenclaw

Aries: An emperor decked in robes made from spiders silk, attendants watching silently as the room fills with pipe smoke. The rain outside the palace grows louder, he is deep in thought.

Taurus: The usurper, the hunter of kings. Golden Diadems crushed underfoot. A twisted hunting horn, a gift from something thought long dead.

Gemini: A philosopher king, a holy king, a conqueror and a liberator. Evenings in the palace archives filled with tea and chess and maps of lands he has never met. A veil, a crooked walking stick.

Cancer: A dead queen, but a queen nonetheless. Clothing covered in shimmering azure beads. Exposed bone and fossilized flesh deftly manipulate sewing needles made from her fathers ribs. 

Leo: A young king, a king who never should have been. Watery blue eyes, and grit teeth, trying to stay composed till the last moment. A king that would give everything.

Virgo: A wild queen, more scars than flesh, disfigured by years of war. A cruel, damaged blade at her side, festering with the scent of a recent kill. Gauze strips inlaid with arcane symbols, glowing faintly in the starlight. 

Libra: A mysterious ruler, ever silent, ever masked. A great, white steed with unblinking eyes and decked in barbed armor.

Scorpio: A holy queen, though none would rightly guess so. Sight beyond. Grisly rituals. Quiet dead. A queen of rest.

Ophiuchus: A pontiff, a shepherd, a leader, but by no means a king. A guide, one who stayed behind to show his disciples the way. Evenings in meditation, gazing at the horizon, silently envious of those who found their wings and teeth.

Sagittarius: A queen in finery that strolls the boulevards of the castle town. Her affect is not one of carelessness, it is one of confidence. Bodyguards watch her every step, moving in the shadows like cats.

Capricorn: A lost king, hidden far from the sun and wind. Those who venture too far north slowly begin to hear him. How sweetly he sings, how lonely his song. A ruined, sunken court.

Aquarius: A mad king. Whispers in the night of impending treachery, of spies in the walls, of lying allies. He assembles his cabinet in the dark of night, and makes plans for war.

The same object can cast two shadows. 

Sister signs share the root of their fatal flaws. 

Aries/Libra 

Loneliness- Selfishness v. Co-dependence

Because no one cares for you, you must care for yourself above all else.

Because you can’t care for yourself, you need someone to remind you that you’re alive.

Taurus/Scorpio

Depression- Apathy v. Despair 

The depth of your sorrow renders you cold, complacent, and numb.

The depth of your sorrow makes you burn with agonizing despair. 

Gemini/Sagittarius

Boredom- Chasing v. Fleeing

You run after anything that brings color to this dull, grey world.

You run away from the burdens that drain the joy and color from life.

Cancer/Capricorn

Insecurity- Self-Defeat v. Contempt

You’re afraid to try. You make excuses and keep yourself down.

You’re afraid you’re not good enough. You bring others down to compensate.

Leo/Aquarius

Arrogance- Narcissism v. Hubris

You’re in love with yourself. Everyone should love you, too. 

You’re in love with your own vision. Everyone should follow your example. 

Virgo/Pisces

Fear- Anxiety v. Disassociation

You fidget, obsess, and worry, worry, worry about what tomorrow brings.

THIS TOOK MUCH LONGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BUT HERE IS MY COMPILED NOTES ON HOW ASTROLOGICAL SIGN CAN AFFECT INBORN MAGICAL ABILITY BE SURE TO NOTE THAT THIS IS BY NO MEANS THE ONLY DECIDER OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO MAGIC AND THE INFLUENCES OF CULTURE UPBRINGING AND GOOD OL STUDY SHOULD NOT BE DISCOUNTED Aries: People born under Aries have a natural affinity for evocation, the manipulation of natural forces like heat and light. Aries is the sign of firecallers and weather mages. While Aries have an advantage in terms of raw energy, this often comes at the cost of control.

Taurus: Taurus is a tenacious sign. Those born under Taurus have a natural resistance to the arcane. This can be a bit of a double edged sword, as it can make it more difficult to work with the more delicate forms of magic. On the other hand, this thick arcane skin can be useful for handling more dangerous, high-energy spellwork.

Gemini: If you understand how a battery works, those born under Gemini’s dualistic nature have a propensity for the quick absorption/discharge of energy. This manifests as an aptitude for counterspells and redirection. It should also be noted that the more energy one tries to channel, the higher the chance that one may overheat.

Cancer: Cancer is an attentive sign, those born under it often have a talent for the more precise forms of magic like Enchantment or Psychomancy. Cancers tend to be scalpels, not hammers. The largest obstacle a cancer will likely face is a low overall stamina when it comes to magic.

Leo: Leos burn bright. Their relationship to energy is inefficient, often resulting in unwanted side effects. The most common side effect manifests as a mild purifying effect. With practice, this can give the leo an advantage when attempting to rid themselves of unpleasant effects.

Virgo: Virgos are liminal. Their bindings to this plane of reality are a little fuzzier. This makes them adept at breaking those boundaries. Visions of the other side are not uncommon in Virgo children. Know that doors work both ways.

Libra: Libras tend to be a sort of jack-of-all-trades. With no particular astrological affinity for any sort of energy, Virgos tend to be the explorers and experimenters of the arcane arts. All energy seeks to expand. Libra’s have the most naturally harmonious relationship to magic.

Scorpio: Many Scorpio’s can go their entire life not realizing their proclivity for magic. Alchemy is an art that relies on the sort of gut instinct and intuition that actively resists careful thought. More often than not, their friends will realize alchemichal skill before they do. They just make the tea better. Nobody is really sure why.

Ophiuchus: Those born under the serpent bearer have the least harmonious relationship to magic. While this can make the initial learning significantly more difficult, it can lead to significant advantages in the underappreciated arts of unraveling, like hexes, counterspells, obfuscations of magic.

Sagittarius: Equal parts precise and explosive, those born under the archer generally have a great deal of power and control over their abilities. The most common downside to this is little to no control over the amount of energy they discharge, often leading to boughs of exhaustion.

Capricorn: Capricorn is an ever-shifting sign. The fluid nature of magic requires the ability to adapt to and understand new circumstances. Those born under Capricorns are quick learners, but their impressionable, bend-dont-break nature can make heavier lifting difficult.

Aquarius: Aquarians burn cold. Their relationship to the arcane draws energy in from their surroundings like a sponge. They are incredibly sensitive to the world around them, able to pick up on more subtle energies. This is a common sign for psychics, emapths, and those sensitive to spectral energy. If they are not careful to disenchant themselves, this sensitivity can overwhelm, leading to panic attacks and anxiety.

Aries: A city in the center of a great river. The bridges long destroyed, the hanging gardens overgrown. An ancient and forbidden place. 

Taurus: Whats left of the old college. Taken by a summer flood and frozen in place when winter came. The basement library is still preserved under the ice.

Gemini: The prison ghetto. Eventually the slave ships stopped coming and the town overtook these hopeless stone walls. Cursed stone re-purposed into homes, basking in the light.

Cancer: A secluded, but stately manor. Iron gates still closed and sealed shut. The home within the walls is a burned husk. The garden flourishes in the ash.

Leo: A village left seemingly abandoned. The trees are all barren and fruitless. The sun seems dimmer here. 

Virgo: The dry caldera. Spires of a great forge still jut from the rock at an odd angles, like the masts of a sinking ship. Ore flues clogged with stone cool as the spring air.

Libra: The remains of an aqueduct. Pillars of stone and masonry dotting the fields of wildflowers. Nobody can remember where they got the water from, or where it went.

Scorpio: The bay of kings. Stone colossi stand with blades thrust into the surf. Their faces have been worn smooth by the years. None of the fishermen remember their names.

Ophiuchus: Low structures cut in the canyon walls. Stairways and boulevards like the paths of the river below. The remnants of stakes for rope bridges. 

Sagittarius: A tiny, crumbling amphitheater outside of town. A map of the heavens carved into the stage, carved by a different hand from the one who made the theater itself.

Capricorn: The city that tears the clouds, suspended between two mountains. Impossibly fine stonework, yet the windmills have long since rotted away. The air itself is thin here.

Aquarius: Dust storms on brass domes, spires overcome by sand. A low, ringing, song echoes over the dune seas. An elegy for something that should remain lost.

aries: “bad bad boy, shiny toy with a price, you know that i bought it”

taurus: “i snuck through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal my fate”

gemini: “devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes”

cancer: “i’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone”

leo: “no rules in a breakable heaven, but it’s a cruel summer with you”

virgo: “i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you”

libra: “i cried like a baby coming home from the bar, said, ‘i’m fine,’ but it wasn’t true”

scorpio: “he looks up grinning like a devil”

sagittarius: “fever dream high in the quiet of the night you know that i caught it”

capricorn: “if i bleed you’ll be the last to know”

aquarius: “i love you ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?”

water (cancer,scorpio,pisces) intuitively read people’s ‘eye’ language, the eyes are the gateways to truth, the mouth can lie but the eyes cannot, an intuitive mirror that water can use

Aries: Taking a break is totally reasonable given what you’ve had to deal with. Just make sure you dont take too much of a break, you have to be able to come back.

Taurus: Today will be marked by conquest. You will raze the best parking spaces from their previous owners. You will subjugate the timing just right so you dont have to wait in line at the coffee shop. You will kill a man.

Ophiuchus: Reduce stress and simplify your life by setting annoying paperwork on fire with a lab-grade laser.

Capricorn: The mysterious sizzling noise you hear at night is the mouse bistro being run under your floorboards.

Taurus: A network of sulfurous caves. Its residents never see sunlight, feeling off of the molten core and crushing weight of the sea above.

Gemini: The place where all sunken ships eventually converge. 

Cancer: A dry salt flat. A seemingly endless plane of sea-salt and bone. The ghosts of leviathans long dead swim through what is now the sky.

Cancer: Sun-bleached and drained of blood. Bones are cast into the pit beneath the great temple. God or not, whatever lies below is best kept happy.

Virgo: The Quiet Grove. Generations of dead, a sapling planted in their heart before they are buried, a forest ten-thousand strong. Nobody stays after nightfall.

Ophiuchus: Bodies prepared with perfumes and soaps and flower petals, buried with no casket. Mother earth is given her child back.

Capricorn: A tradition, if a grim one. Body given to the apiary they tended to in life, flesh devoured, body made a home by the insects they raised. One last batch of honey.

Aquarius: Bones collected and cleaned. Given to the smith-priests to enchant iron to steel. The dead returned as a reforged family sword.

Aries: Today is a day to be sensitive to the experiences of others. Keep your eyes and ears open and you might learn about the plot to murder you and steal your status in the royal court.

Taurus: Your house is a strict no ephemera zone. Keep the shit tangible my dude. 

Gemini: Large projects are a marathon not a sprint. Breaks conserve your energy and make it harder for the government surveillance to track your progress.

Cancer: Your anxiety may come from places you don’t expect. Consider the curse laid on your family line by Ka Wahine ‘ai Honua.

Leo: The troubles of reality are a double-edged sword. In equal parts, it both grounds and inspires. You will never be free from this in any way that matters.

Virgo: It never hurts too show the people around you that you appreciate them. I think you will find that a small lizard given without permission is a more welcome gift than you think.

Libra: Difficult choices are often far less meaningful than they seem. Actually, most choices are like that. You are going to die one day.

Scorpio: The stars say you’re stressed. The stars recommend relaxing with a nice spot of property damage.

Ophiuchus:  Careful not to spill that glass of information corrupting mites.

Sagittarius: Be careful Sagittarius. Though you have ample skill at dueling, you may be taken off guard when your opponent is able to make you sad. 

Capricorn: Shit will probably gonna be fine. You steer this whole ship. Try not to think about it too hard.

Aquarius: Support your creative endeavors by constantly second guessing your happiness until it makes you too paranoid to get out of bed. By support, I mean ruin. Knock that shit off Aquarius.

Aries: Thunderous footsteps in the night while storm sirens blare. A dream or a hazy hazy memory. You can’t remember which.

Taurus: The space between two unused telephone poles. If you watch long enough, the air seems to flicker, revealing flashes of a different sky.

Gemini: Where your mind goes to wander. The native fauna.

Cancer: City streets as night falls. A crowded underpass not meant for pedestrians. Syncopated footsteps in the dark from behind the chain-link fence you know to ignore by now.

Leo: Lost in the basements. Something that seemed to hum and flicker like the fluorescent lights as it moved, leaving ever-thickening layers of dust and faded colors in its wake. 

Virgo: The completely unidentifiable animal your child brought home one day. How you let is loose in the grass and how it watched you through the window. It was gone the next morning.

Libra: The thing in the attic, feeding like coral off all the things she has forgotten.

Scorpio: Gophers found dead, pounded into a gory mess. You never believed the stories until you saw it in the distance one night. Thick, clumsy limbs thudding against the earth, protecting the fields. 

Ophiuchus: The elderly home built where the old pre-school was. Confusing architecture, arranged just so for a purpose everybody knows but wont talk about.

Sagittarius: How the world twists beneath you when you are tired. How the floor drops away to keep you from standing.

Capricorn: The only light is the display on the radio clock. There is a sound like a giant speaker powering down. The world feels underwater. Its back. You close your eyes and wait for it to pass.

Aquarius: They replaced it a couple years back. The cracks are still there.
