Hemmelic Astrology (Ham-mell-ik)

Hemelic Astrology is a Human system of astrology that was first associated with the Hemelic people with roots stemming further back to Avendhi traditions from the forgotten age. Hemelic Astrology is constructed from twelve-star constellations that the sun transits across throughout one year. Some use this zodiac in horoscopic divination rituals to determine personalized fortunes.
 

Balaego

Urfamora 21 – Barsabal 19

 
The Sea Beast

Brightest Star: Maracael
Element: Water
Opposite to Sírc
Northern Hemisphere Season: Spring
Southern Hemisphere Season: Autumn

The Balaego sign represents the mythic sea creature of the same name. The Balaego was a massive squid said to have suddenly appeared and sank any ship crossing Olanqa harbor. Shipwreck after shipwreck lined the city harbor until a heroic whale ate the squid, which caused the shipwrecks to turn to stone thus creating the spiney rocks now protecting Olanqa.

Balaegos are passionate and assertive people with determination and focus you rarely see in other zodiac signs. They will turn to in-depth research to reach the truth behind anything they find important. Great leaders and guides, Balaegos are resourceful, dedicated, and fearless when there is a challenge to be overcome. They will hold on to other people’s secrets, even when they aren’t very fond of them, and do anything they can for those they tie themselves to.
  This is a Water sign, just as Caçeter and Chleia, and its representatives have to experience, express and face emotions. Always fighting dishonesty of any kind, they have to learn not to manipulate or turn people to look their way by methods that aren’t straightforward and clean. These inner tendencies sometimes make them distrustful and jealous, suspicion leading them to strange behavioral patterns they have to unveil.
  These individuals are known for being calm and cool, looking mysterious and hard to figure out. There is a deep understanding of the rules of the Universe inside every Balaego that gives them the power others rush through life rarely recognizing within. Balaego are ruled by the first quarter Moon, and the last quarter Moon; one of those phases being a force of transformation and regeneration, and the other pushing them forward and providing them with enough initiative to build their lives energetically and strong.
 

Koratíri

Barsabal 20 – Sodoss 20

The Glass Crow

Brightest Star: Andexel
Element: Air
Opposite to Thipacyn
Northern Hemisphere Season: Spring
Southern Hemisphere Season: Autumn

The Koratíri sign represents the glass crow created by the mythical craftsman of Monxz. The craftsman created wonder after wonder, and no one questioned his skill until a young girl asked if he could make her a pet. Stumped, the craftsman of Monxz tried making dogs out of stone and cats out of wood, but none came to life. By chance, just as he was about to give up on his challenge, a bird flew into his glass forge. After saving the bird, the creature thanked the craftsmen and taught him a special way to spin glass into life. Following the wise advice of the bird, the craftsmen forged a living glass crow.  

Araksa

Sodoss 21 – Ureza 21

The Burdened Bear

Brightest Star: Dosilla
Element: Earth
Opposite to Chleia
Northern Hemisphere Season: Summer
Southern Hemisphere Season: Winter

The Araksa sign represents the bear character of the story of the same name. In the Araksa, a motherly bear is unable to rear a cub. Wishing to fulfill her desire to raise a child, she offers to care for any unborn child. The first to accept the bear's offer is a spider who tricks the bear into believing her egg sac will bear a single baby spider. Left with the bear, the egg sac bursts into thousands of baby spiders. The bear is overwhelmed but perseveres through her new motherhood.
 

Yisi

Ureza 22 – Salegg 22

The Gambling Rabbit

Brightest Star: Fimowen
Element: Fire
Opposite to Fealendè
Northern Hemisphere Season: Summer
Southern Hemisphere Season: Winter

The Yisi sign represents the rabbit in the story of Caedric. In his many adventures, Caedric once encountered a craft rabbit who blocked his path. The rabbit refused to let Caedric pass until the rabbit had beaten Caedric in a series of games. Caedric, being as skilled as he was, was unable to force himself to lose any of the games chosen by the rabbit. Eventually, Caedric, determined to trick the rabbit in some way, challenged the rabbit to a game of dice. Whoever could roll the most consecutive times without rolling a 1 would be the winner. Taking turns, Caedric allowed the rabbit to go first using Caedric's rigged die. While the rabbit was distracted with his never-ending streak of good rolls, Caedric slipped past.  

Caçeter

Salegg 23 – Aprakas 22

The Fortressed Crab

Brightest Star: Pondaric
Element: Water
Opposite to Zamazet
Northern Hemisphere Season: Summer
Southern Hemisphere Season: Winter

The Caçeter sign represents the story of a paranoid crab. Caçeter the crab lived on the sandy shore with his fellow crabs. Mean and untrusting others, Caçeter found ways to separate himself from the rest. He began creating a shell to cover him to withdraw into when others got too close. One day, Smar, a giant crab-eating sea otter, arrived on the beach and began to consume the crabs. When Smar tried to eat Caçeter, he couldn't break through his special shell. Annoyed, Smar left Caçeter to eat the other crabs, and when all the others were gone Smar left. Caçeter had never been happier.
  Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Caçeter can be one of the most challenging zodiac signs to get to know. They are very emotional and sensitive and care deeply about matters of the family and their home. Caçeter is sympathetic and attached to people they keep close. Those born with their Sun in Caçeter are very loyal and able to empathize with other people's pain and suffering.
  The sign of Caçeter belongs to the element of Water, just like Balaego and Chleia. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Caçeter is ruled by the waxing crescent Moon, and the waning gibbous Moon; such phases deepen Caçeter’s internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control.
  Lack of patience or even love will manifest through mood swings later in life, and even selfishness, self-pity, or manipulation. They are quick to help others, just as they are quick to avoid conflict, and rarely benefit from close combat of any kind, always choosing to hit someone stronger, bigger, or more powerful than they imagined. When at peace with their life choices, Caçeter representatives will be happy and content to be surrounded by a loving family and harmony in their home.
 

Apistis

Aprakas 23 – Umahara 22

The Yellow Bee

Brightest Star: Celedoccia
Element: Air
Opposite to Talanari
Northern Hemisphere Season: Autumn
Southern Hemisphere Season: Spring

The Apistis sign represents the bee from the Stories of Ariga. Ariga was a woman who traveled far and told many tales, some true and some not. She spun her words for the entertainment of others, but one tall tale landed her in the custody of an incredulous lord. The Lord had heard a story of how she created many beautiful items from flowers. He demanded Ariga repeat the feat using the flowers in his garden or remain in his prison. While Ariga was very creative, she had not truly created such things. She wept in the lord's prison which caught the attention of a little mason bee. The bee agreed to help Ariga and taught her how to craft cups and plates from the flower petals. Ariga and the bee made one hundred sets of flower dinnerware for the lord and she was set free to resume her travels.
 

Sírc

Umahara 23 – Kotallah 22

The Sand Mouse

Brightest Star: Telmea
Element: Earth
Opposite to Balaego
Northern Hemisphere Season: Autumn
Southern Hemisphere Season: Spring
The Sírc sign represents the now-extinct rodent species of the same name from the Hemmelic myth. It is written that Sírc mice were once considered a lucky totem among the Hemelic people. Jewelry has been unearthed incorporating primarily skulls and sometimes other bones of Sírc mice that are either bare or clad in precious metals like gold or silver. Though there are no surviving stories specific to what happened to this rodent species, it is assumed they were driven extinct by the demand for lucky totems derived from their body parts.

Kotallah 23 – Azal 22

The Chicken Knight

Brightest Star: Genwyn
Element: Fire
Opposite to Koratíri
Northern Hemisphere Season: Autumn
Southern Hemisphere Season: Spring
The Thipacyn sign represents the mythical chicken that bested many unworthy warriors. Myth dictates that the Luck Lord Ythal once was a brilliant warrior that could never be beaten in combat. Many upstart fighters would seek out Ythal to challenge him to duel. Over time Ythal grew weary of the incessant series of challenges and thus created a new challenger. Any new challengers who wished to duel Ythal would first have to best his pet chicken Thipacyn in one-on-one combat. Some challengers were offended by the prospect and left the region for other conquests (as Ythal wished) but many agreed to the test and found themselves bested again and again by the powerful fowl. but
