Glitchian Astrology

So last Wednesday while the game was closed, I coped with my withdrawal symptoms by putting together a Glitch Horoscope.  Hope you enjoy it!  For entertainment purposes only, no guarantees made about accuracy ;)

The Fox: 20th of Bruise @ 12am - 45th of Bruise @ 3:59pm
...Glitchen imagined under the sign of the Fox are energetic and independent, like their wild counterparts.  They are always up for a challenge, are driven by ambition, and prefer getting things done over talking about their problems.
Associated Giants: Alph, Humbaba, Spriggan, Zille.  Ruled by Gandlevery.

The Piggy: 45th of Bruise @ 4pm - 1st of Fever @ 7:59am
...the Piggy is the friendliest of the animals, and is a necessary part of the crop-gardening cycle.  Accordingly, those of this sign are both sociable, as well as hard-working.  They are stable, quietly confident, and prefer to work at their own steady pace.
Associated Giants: Humbaba, Mab, Pot, Spriggan, Zille.  Ruled by Rubeweed (and exalted in Purple).

The Frogs: 1st of Fever @ 8am - 25th of Fever @ 11:59pm
...as the only plural sign in the Glitch Zodiac, the Frogs represent communication and friendship between individuals.  Like the frogs themselves, those imagined under this sign are often chatty, carefree, and more interested in ideas than material possessions.
Associated Giants: Cosma, Friendly, Lem, Tii.  Ruled by Hairball.

The Crab: 26th of Fever @ 12am - 51st of Fever @ 3:59pm
...friendship is very important to Crabs; they are very empathetic and their mood is easily influenced by other Glitchen.  Their loyalty and energy makes them strong leaders.
Associated Giants: Grendaline, Mab, Spriggan.  Ruled by Purple (and exalted in Silvertongue).

The Yeti: 51th of Fever @ 4pm - 5th of Junuary @ 7:59am
...the yeti is a wild beast of which little is known, and Glitchen imagined under this sign will have access to great reserves of creative energy.  On the other hand, this energy may be difficult to control, and Yetis may develop a reputation for being tempestuous or vain.
Associated Giants: Friendly, Humbaba, Lem, Pot.  Ruled by Yellow Crumb.

The Batterfly: 5th of Junuary @ 8am - 11th of Septa @ 11:59pm
...the batterfly holds the secret to fertile crops, and this is really the key to understanding the Batterfly sign (what is most important is beneath the surface).  They may seem shy and withdrawn, but it is only because they are working quietly on something that requires their full attention.  They prefer calm and discipline, like a well-tended garden.
Associated Giants: Mab, Pot, Tii, Zille.  Ruled by Hairball (and exalted in Hairball).

The Chick: 12th of Septa @ 12am - 24th of Remember @ 3:59pm
...a creature that both flies and walks, the chicken is able to see things from all perspectives.  Those with the Chick sign will also strive to see different points of view, and find a balance between them.  They often enjoy discussing their ideas with others - note that the feather is an instrument of writing as well as flight.
Associated Giants: Alph, Cosma, Lem, Tii.  Ruled by Rubeweed (and exalted in Rookswort).

The Squid: 24th of Remember @ 4pm - 8th of Widdershins @ 7:59am
...the sign of the Squid is a very powerful and transformative sign, as would be expected from the association with the visions of Gwendolyn and the Inner Mind.  When well-dignified, Glitchen imagined as Squids have the opportunity to reach their very highest spiritual potential; in other cases, Squids may manifest self-destructive or anti-social behaviour.
Associated Giants: Friendly, Grendaline, also Rook/Trisor.  Ruled by Gandlevery.

The Firefly: 8th of Widdershins @ 8am - 33rd of Widdershins @ 11:59pm
...philosophy and art are as important to a Firefly as food and drink.  They play with ideas and love nothing better than to create something entirely new.  Action and adventure are definitely on the menu.
Associated Giants: Alph, Friendly, Grendaline, Pot.  Ruled by Silvertongue.

The Sloth: 34th of Widdershins @ 12am - 1st of Recurse @ 3:59pm
...imagine the kind of strength and power required to chew through metal - this is the essential characteristic of the sign of the Sloth.  Sloths are determined and resilient, and may be very ambitious.  It's impossible to get a Sloth to do something they don't want to do.
Associated Giants: Humbaba, Mab, Spriggan, Zille.  Ruled by Rookswort (and exalted in Gandlevery).

The Butterfly: 1st of Recurse @ 4pm - 26th of Primuary @ 7:59pm
...butterflies are like thoughts - quick, unpredictable, aimless.  Those imagined under this sign will be very intellectual, drawn to science and philosophy.  They are outgoing and sociable, but may seem shallow and emotionally cold to those who don't know them well.  They never let their emotions get in the way.
Associated Giants: Alph, Cosma, Lem, Tii.  Ruled by Rookswort.

The Salmon/The Ghost: 26th of Primuary @ 8pm - 19th of Bruise @ 11:59pm
...the salmon is never seen while alive; it represents that which is hidden, reflected, the other side of life.  Salmons are prone to daydreaming and fantasy, and may be powerful visionaries, inventors, or artists.  Many Salmons feel disconnected with the world of Ur, and they value friendship and romance as a way of bridging this disconnect.
Associated Giants: Cosma, Grendaline, also Rook/Trisor.  Ruled by Silvertongue (and exalted in Rubeweed).

  • You may be able to find out when you were imagined by looking at your account history: www.glitch.com/account/cred... (look for "A special gift for new players")

    ...and there is a calendar converter here: startlingfecundity.com/cale...

    Fabday, the second day of Candy is... Piggy!  I like piggies!

    "...the Piggy is the friendliest of the animals, and is a necessary part of the crop-gardening cycle.  Accordingly, those of this sign are both sociable, as well as hard-working.  They are stable, quietly confident, and prefer to work at their own steady pace."

    Hm.  It's like you know me!  I am totally a necessary part of the crop-gardening cycle.

  • This is wonderful idea, but I guess you are either missing one sign or you created one more by mistake. (12 is not a prime number. ;)

  • Great job, Miss Portinari!
    Posted 7 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh wow, I got stoot approval!  Thanks for your kind words everyone :D

    @nekomaki - 12 isn't a prime number, but 12 = 11 + 1, and both 11 and 1 are prime numbers, representing the tension between the 11 giants and the 1 rook.  It's also the number of sides on a 12-sided die, the spinning of which suggests the cycle of the calendar year ;)

  • Oh, I see, sorry for my mistake.:)
    Posted 7 months ago by nekomaki Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Very cool! I'm a butterfly :D

    If you ever want to do a column for the ImaginatUr.... :) :)
