i don't recognise any of the constellations here, they're all different. so that means that other worlds have different ones too.

does anyone know the zodiac here? if so, what sign are you? i'm an aries.

[kozyhanaji]

I don't know about this world's zodiac, but at home I'm a Scorpio!

[zooming]

i don't know about it either but i hope they have one. scorpio? what a steadfast sign to be.

[kozyhanaji]

It likely has to do with our moonblessings, if I had to guess. I wonder what constellations fall under Sanguis?

Oh, thank you! I’d like to think so too. My boyfriend is also a Scorpio and I’d say he’s certainly steadfast. :)

[zooming]

i would be interested to know which ones fall under which moon too. i know someone who likes research; maybe they'll know?

it's true, scorpios get on best with other scorpios. or they do where i come from.

:)?

[mevsme]

ugh. who cares. signs are bunch of crap.

[zooming]

not where i come from. what makes you think that?

[mevsme]

its just some superstition right? i mean, someone i know believes in them and even carries around lucky items or smth else rlly stupid. like not leaving the house if its a bad day for his sign.

but eh. im a virgo.

[zooming]

not leaving somewhere or carrying lucky items is a bit weird, but in some places where and where you're born have an impact when it comes to such things.

virgo is a good sign to be. the one i know would enjoy hearing that.

[mevsme]

hes a weirdo. im surprised if he doesnt reply to u.
but does that mean the actual location or like 'born in a hospital' vs 'born in a car'.

ill bite. whats so good about it?

[badluckblues]

the what

[zooming]

zodiac. constellations of signs that people are assigned at birth.

[decisiveconquest]

Zodiac? This is a belief based on the constellations?

(She is an Aries, unsurprisingly.)

[zooming]

yes it is. thirteen signs and constellations.

[ Aries gotta stick together!]

[decisiveconquest]

Which constellations lie in the north?

[zooming]

hmmm if it was similar to my world? let me think... i think it's pisces, aries, taurus, gemini, cancer and leo in the north.

[decisiveconquest]

Are there any associated with dragons or storms?

[zooming]

not in the zodiac, but there may be some constellations outside of it. i don't know all of them sorry but i know someone who does, i can ask them and let you know?

[decisiveconquest]

No, I was just curious. If those constellations are associated with the north, I'm fairly sure I fall under one of them.

[zooming]

if you believe you fall under one, you're welcome to be an aries!

[decisiveconquest]

What does it mean to be an Aries? What qualities should I have?

[zooming]

tough question, though i think others would say determined is a good quality. and maybe independent though i'm still working on that....

[ others back home would definitely say "stubborn" little sheep.]

[decisiveconquest]

Independence can be hard to acquire. It took me losing my brother and husband to finally stand on my own.

[foolishjustice]

I'm a Gemini, myself.

[zooming]

[ Su Xunxian would love to hear this. Probably.]

gemini is a smart sign. you have the zodiac in your own world?

[wantsnudes]

I read that the constellations here correspond to the moonblessings. Apparently they are both moons and stars here, something I had not thought to consider.

As for astrology from home, I am an Aquarius.

[zooming]

that makes sense, but then that probably means they only have the three? we have thirteen.

it's strange to think that we have similar things in different worlds. are you analytical too?

[wantsnudes]

Being analytical is often considered antithetical to creativity. However, I believe this is a mistaken assumption: attention to detail is a useful skill as an artist.

Which is to say, yes, I believe I can be considered analytical.

[zooming]

creativity like art? and that makes sense, i know some people who say they're creative but i don't really get it when i see their stuff.

i wonder if someone has mapped the stars out here?

[wantsnudes]

I have a book you may borrow on the constellations, if you like. There are beautifully illustrated charts. Or if you'd like a book of your own, there are plenty around the city.

I also would recommend visiting the observatory on the upper level; it is an extremely informative experience.

[zooming]

i would like that very much, though i am not a fast reader....it would be good to see what the constellations here are through the charts they have.

[ He's a speedster, but it's the sitting still long enough to read that trips this one up. Too easily distracted.]

observatory?

[wantsnudes]

Yes. I will send you its location.

[He attaches a map of the upper level to his message, with a pin dropped to show where the observatory is.]

If you like, I can meet you there to give you the book.

[lumberlady]

⭐ much change. no like japan. ... of course, three 🌕 no like also.

what ARIES?

[zooming]

[ It takes Shang Yu a moment to understand the text.]

it is very strange here, i'm not used to seeing three moons either.

well, aries is a constellation said to be a ram. it's part of twelve constellations that form a zodiac.

[lumberlady]

twelve animal? use ZODIAC for tell fortune? is no birth year is ⭐?

[zooming]

they're not all animals, but most are. but back home it's more random who is assigned what; some people here think it's based on when you're born. same for you?

[lumberlady]

my world say twelve animal, protect birth year people!

you random? what mean to be ARIES? ram protect?

[champagnetower]

Ah yes!
Someone once spoke of horoscopes from their home world before, so you’re definitely not alone!
I know them too!
I’m a Cancer!!〜☆

[zooming]

it's good to know people know it here, though some know it in a different way than i do. it's strange but fun to read.

cancer! such a good sign to be born under!

Re: text;

[champagnetower]

I haven't given the constellations here much thought.
I bet they're as pretty as the ones you know!
It's just the way of the stars, I'm sure.

[chichichi]

I'm aware. I'm a Scorpio myself.

[ Which will have her pausing, not that he can see. It's the eleventh month now, isn't it? November, then. Hm. ]

[zooming]

that's good, it's a relief to know others know of the zodiac. scorpio is a good sign to be born under.

[ Even if the Scorpio Star Master is a bit...humourless.]

text; un, birdinthehand

[chichichi]

As is Aries. Have you found many of the stereotypes to be true? About the signs in general, that is.

[zooming]

i would be lying if i said i didn't like my own sign. and i don't know, you mean like traits? that's not a big thing where i'm from, is it a thing in your home place?

[chichichi]

It tends to be. Some people treat it as simple fun with horoscopes and others get really into the details and use them for all sorts of things. Compatibility, especially.

[bloodisthicker]

Hm, I'm actually not familiar with that particular system. What determines it, exactly? We use the year we were born back home, which I've heard is familiar to some people. I was born in the year of the Snake, if that makes any sense to you.

text;

[zooming]

back home it's almost random, but here it sounds like people have other ideas on it.

snake? i don't know it. there are others like that?

[bloodisthicker]

Hm, really? Well, we have a twelve year cycle where each year is associated with an animal of some kind, which has certain personality traits associated with it. So if you’re born in that year, that’s what governs you.
