Galactian alignments are terms for nonbinary people to express their alignment or affiliation with binary genders, without erasing their nonbinary status or reducing them to “basically ____”. Alignment is not indicative of what someone’s gender “really” is, their agab, or whether their gender has masculine or feminine qualities.
Coining history and overview:
The three root terms are solarian (male/man-aligned), lunarian (female/woman-aligned), and stellarian (unaligned). These were coined in August-September 2016 in a discord server by multiple tumblr users including @moonbian, and the resulting post is here. The three terms were combined to form solstellarian (stellarian and solarian), stellunarian (stellarian and lunarian), sollunarian (solarian and lunarian), and solstellunarian (all three). Distinct words were then coined as synonyms for the combination words: novarian (solstellarian), nebularian (stellunarian), eclipsian (sollunarian), and galaxian (solstellunarian). At some point all these terms started being called galactian alignments. Singularian was then coined for people who reject the alignment system completely, and by definition cannot be combined with any galactian alignment.

Yellow: the nonbinary nature of those represented by this flag
Black: everyone that has no gender
Gray: the varying degrees in which people can experience gender
Novarian/solstellarian: either simultaneously unaligned/rejecting binary alignment and male/man-aligned, or sometimes one or the other or both

Nebularian/stellunarian: either simultaneously unaligned/rejecting binary alignment and female/woman-aligned, or sometimes one or the other or both
[Image description: Five horizontal stripes, from top to bottom: pale bluish purple, purplish blue, yellow, black, gray. In the center of the flag is an unfilled crescent moon, with a five-point star surrounded by three smaller stars in the hollow of the crescent]
Eclipsian/sollunarian: either simultaneously male/man-aligned and female/woman-aligned, or sometimes one or the other or both

Galaxian/solstellunarian: either simultaneously unaligned/rejecting binary alignment, male/man-aligned, and female/woman-aligned, or varying between the three

Two shades of color in the top two stripes: the varying levels in which people can be/experience being that alignment. The colors are a midpoint between those of the flags for the alignments being combined
Yellow: the nonbinary nature of those represented by this flag
Black: everyone that has no gender
Gray: the varying degrees in which people can experience gender
Singularian: rejecting any and all ties to binary genders without exception. Not really one of the galactian alignments and cannot be combined with any of the galactian alignments
