History

For the duration of their existence, all beings have had one major burden on their mind: The Future. The greatest unknown. Everyone seeks to ease that burden, to know what's in store for them so that they may avoid disaster and capitalise on good fortune. While the exact future still exists outside of the grasp of mortals, there is that which can be divined from the very night sky itself.

There is a pattern to the stars, to the constellations, an intended design that the stars are being adjusted towards, patterns that involve stars that have yet to be born and yet to have fade. Each person, each thing, has a unique relationship to the stars, one created around the important moments in their life. Using this event, usually its creation, a Horoscope can be created and used to divine that person's place among the upcoming pattern.

To divine from this pattern is as scholarly as it is theological, and a deep understanding of the stars and their movements is required in order to scry their purpose. Beginners to the craft may be able to make minor prophecies, usually just related to the recipients wealth or health. However a deeper understanding of the stars allows those to foretell great disasters, both personal and national.

Practitioners of this faith do not care for the will of individual stars, seeing them as contradictory pieces of a more unified whole.


Rites and Hierarchy

The Zodiac is not considered an organised religion, with each of its members preferring to have their own personal application of the teachings. Many tend to use other tools in their divination including natal charts and celestial tarot cards.

As such there is no true leader to the teachings, just a founder. And the methods are not set in stone, instead, practitioners are encouraged to find newer, more accurate ways to read the stars with the main goal being to discover the entity behind the calculated movements of the stars.

To read someone's fate a Horoscope is required, one that must be generated based on key features about the individual. The method is kept somewhat secretive and is taught to new members upon joining.


OOC Note: This could be considered a minor faith that is being started in Delphina. It is meant for those that want to add some hooks to their character to promote interaction with others without having to design their entire character around it. There is a document written up for how to create a horoscope that will be sent to those that join the faith. Contact StarMan#0001 on discord or Lionel Avarion in game if you are interested in joining.

After years of piling failures, being misguided, feelings of survivors guilt, a lack of interest and general ridicule of its ideology. The Zodiac has been abandoned by its founder and only follower. The stars seem a little dimmer this night.

The years have passed and life has occurred. Through events that have caused equal parts joy and sorrow the spark of faith has been re-ignited within the founder. With a shift in focus, to call more upon the Primordial Gala, The Zodiac faith is once more in practice.
