Zodiac of Dynos

Across the planet, legends of 13 powerful types of monsters have risen to symbolic importance. These legendary beasts have become the widespread zodiac on Dynos; those who believe in the symbolism track it on a 13 year cycle, with each year's Zodiacal Colossus ("sign") having associated dominant character traits. Some of those are subdivided into further traits based on time of year. Additionally, the 12 months of the year are each represented by the other 12 Zodiacal Colossi as your minor traits (in order of the cycle starting with the beast after the one for the year).
For those who are superstitious and put faith in the zodiac, the Zodiacal Birthdays (ie the year and month your birth signs recur) are expected to be accompanied by a significant change in your life, or a character defining experience.
Fortune Telling
The Zodiac signs also carry significance beyond association with birth, and can be used for general fortune telling. The signs are divided into three Domains: Land, Sea, and Sky. Within each domain are the Positive, Neutral, and Negative Aspects. As with the birth signs, the year's Zodiacal Colossi is the major sign, while the month's is the minor sign. However, if the current month and year are inverse of your birth signs, then the dominant and minor fortunes are reversed for you.
