Okay so after some discussion with others, and some embarrassing mistakes, I’ve decided to put up this CORRECTED version of the Galaxian Alignment system.

The reason for the correction was because not only did I get the demi- terms incorrect (and accidentally switched Galaxian with Celestian), but I had misunderstood the original intent of the coined system.

The description for Solarian is “In many cultures and religious systems, the sun is associated with masculinity, and male energy. As a result, a Solar Nonbinary Person, or Solarian, would be someone who has similarities in identity or experience with men. The term functions as a less easily abused form of ‘male aligned.’” 

The point is to give a replacement to ‘female-aligned,’ ‘male-aligned’ and ‘nonbinary-aligned’ statements, but it also has to do with the person’s experience. For example, while I identify as transmasculine, I have both female-aligned and male-aligned experiences in my day to day life, so I could identify as Eclipsian. However, because I’m transmasculine and I do not want to identify with female alignment in any capacity, I identify as Solarian. 

So there’s a number of ways you can use these terms for yourself. You can describe yourself under both your gender identity and your gender experience (which in my case are actually different), or you can go with just the one that best matches your experience or identity. Some even use this to acknowledge that, while they are of a certain identity, they still experience another alignment at the same time. 

It’s completely up to you.

But remember, these are not genders. These are alignment identifiers, minus the ‘male-’ or ‘female-’ or ‘nonbinary-’ spectrum alignment implications. So I’d tack this on my gender as “solarian trans man” if I was describing myself. 

The first word is “vermil” from the word vermilion which is a shade of red. This term can be used by nonbinary people who present in a traditionally masculine way without necessarily being masc aligned or solarian. The symbol in the center of the flag is the elemental sign for fire. The word + flag design were made to replicate the solarian flag’s warm colors and association with the sun, fire, and “masculine” energies.

The next word is “cerul” from the word cerulean which is a shade of blue. This term can be used by nonbinary people who present in a traditionally feminine way without necessarily being fem aligned or lunarian. The symbol in the center of the flag is the elemental sign for water. The word + flag design were made to replicate the lunarian flag’s cool colors and association with the moon, water, and “feminine” energies.

The final word is “pewt” from the word pewter which is a shade of gray. This term can be used by nonbinary people who present in an androgynous way without necessarily being unaligned or stellarian. The symbol in the center of the flag is a combination of the elemental signs for earth and air.
