[b]Welcome, welcome! Care to have your fortune told?[/b]
[rule]
Hello, everyone! Divination is a bit of a hobby of mine, and I thought I'd set up a little game of it here in Flight Rising. Carina here will draw cards or generate a horoscope for any one of your dragons, should you like to see what mysteries lurk in their future! Keep in mind that this is [i]just for fun,[/i] and I make no promises about draconic fortunes coming true ;)
Card readings are based on a modified and Flight Rising-themed tarot deck, and horoscopes come from a FR-themed system of my own design, using the elemental holidays as a basis. These means that you can get a Sornieth-appropriate birth chart based on your dragon's actual hatchday! I figure these can be used to help generate a character for underappreciated dergs, or just for fun :)
So what do you say? Want to see what the future holds?

[*] A [b]horoscope[/b] is based on your chosen dragon's hatchday, and uses that date, together with today's date, to provide a piece of advice for your dragon.
[*] A [b]card draw[/b] is a drawing of one to three cards which provide advice and a forecast of the future. When requesting a card draw, remember to specify a question, or else Carina will choose one for you!
[*] A [b]complete birth chart[/b] is an analysis of your dragon's life fortune based on the position of the sun and moon at their time of birth. This chart will never change. Because a complete birth chart takes longer to write up, it must be requested [i]alone,[/i] and cannot be combined with any of the other readings.
[*] You can choose to ask in or out of character, but keep in mind this is more for fun than roleplay!
[*] Only one dragon's reading per post, please!
[*] Please specify a dragon the reading is for! If you're asking for a horoscope or birth chart, a link to their profile would be helpful as well.
[*] You must specify whether you want a [b]horoscope,[/b] a [b]card draw,[/b] or a [b]complete birth chart.[/b] Remember, you can ask for both a horoscope and card draw if you want, but a complete birth chart can only come on its own!
[*] Don't expect anything that perfectly matches your dragon's character--horoscopes and fortunes can be pretty inaccurate, after all!

Hello! This seems like a super interesting idea and I love horoscopes :D
May I request a Horoscope and a card draw for my dragon,
Morros?
He's very curious about his future, and the question he wants to ask is whether the future holds a more contented and stable sort of happiness for him? As he's been through some turbulent times.

@Shoz: Morros can most certainly have a reading! Coming right up!
[quote=Carina]
Hmm, let's have a look here...born in September, and...oh, it looks as though you were blessed by one of the Major Signs of the Arcanist, the Fallout Streak. An auspicious sign, with the current festival ongoing! However, all things do come to an end, and the sun will soon move on from its position. Best to act quickly on any opportunities that present themselves, lest they slip away.
Now, then. What does your future hold? Let us see what the cards say...
[center]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zzY6dQr.png[/img]
This first card represents where you stand now. It is the Radiant Eye, representing a time of peace and stability, a moment of recuperation. In the here and now, you have the opportunity to rest and plan for the days to come. Enjoy the bounty that you have, and look to the future with hope.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zzY6dQr.png[/img]
The second card in this drawing represents the challenges that lie before you. It is the Five of Staves--no reassuring sign. This card suggests that there is conflict ahead, difficulty and strife. You may find yourself clashing with others whose desires conflict with your own. But this card offers hope as well: so long as you have faith in yourself and your loved ones, you will rise above.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zzY6dQr.png[/img]
Lastly, this card represents the final outcome, the future far ahead. It is the Exalt of Cauldrons--a good card for you, I think! As a dragon of the Cauldrons suit, the Exalt is a portent of happiness, creativity, and bountiful life. She protects those things in life which are most beautiful and treasured--family, love, and happiness. She is also a dragon of great energy and purity.
[rule]
Altogether, the cards suggest that peace is in your future, but you must work for it. Happiness will not come to you unbidden. Like the Exalt, you must actively safeguard those things which are most important to you, and fight whatever forces would tear them away. But so long as you maintain faith in yourself and your loved ones, you will emerge victorious and find the stability and joy that you seek.

Certainly! Let's see what her future holds...
[quote=Carina]
Hmhmhm, what have we here? October 22...you were born under one of the Major Signs of the Plaguebringer, the Contagion Rising. An interesting sign to be born under, to be sure...! The sun will soon be passing into the Plaguebringer's domain, which is auspicious for your Rising sign. Our first and second celestial cousins are currently in the Plaguebringer's domain as well, and with no signs in the Gladekeeper's skies you are guaranteed to have a productive day. You may find a new opportunity coming your way soon, if so, you should take it! Your prospects for the next few weeks are looking positive indeed.
Now, let's see what the cards have in store for you.
[center]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zzY6dQr.png[/img]
Your first card represents a possible future outcome, one you should work toward or against. In this case, it's definitely one you should work [i]toward![/i] Your card is the Nine of Crowns, a sign of physical fortune and well-being. Is there some event that you've been looking forward to, or a goal you've had in mind for some time? The Nine of Crowns suggests that your reward is in sight! It may also represent straightforward physical safety, or feeling comfortable in your surroundings.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zzY6dQr.png[/img]
Your second card is an obstacle that lies in your path. The Five of Staves inverted indicates that the road to this future treasure, whatever it may be, won't be easy. There's stiff competition, and whoever stands in your way (it [i]is[/i] a who) may be better equipped and ready than you are. Don't give up early or let yourself slack off, or you'll surely be left in the dust.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zzY6dQr.png[/img]
This final card indicates how you'll achieve your goal. The Six of Wings is a card of victory and overcoming obstacles, in this case obstacles of [i]speech[/i] or the [i]mind[/i]. The way to your reward relies on verbal and mental skill rather than physical. You're going to have to exercise your noggin! As the Wings suit also governs interpersonal ties, you may need to rely on friends or family in order to reach your goal.
[rule]
It's a bit vague, perhaps, but hopefully means something to you. Whatever pleasant reward lies ahead of you--whether it be a windfall, physical safety, or even just a good meal--you'll have to be quick and clever to get it, or else whoever stands in your way will have the last laugh.

One birth chart, coming right up!
[quote=Carina]
Wendey, you were born with the [b]sun[/b] in the [b]Blizzard Rising[/b], the first major sign of the Icewarden. Many born under this sign are calm and self-disciplined, with strong passions churning just below the surface. However, they may struggle with interpersonal relationships. As you were born to the Nature element, you may find that you get along with others more easily than others born to the Blizzard. However, take care: the Nature element exacerbates your tendency toward extreme emotions, especially anger or possessiveness.
At your birth, the [b]moon[/b] was in the Stormcatcher's domain. The moon governs those parts of our personalities that lie below the surface or that emerge only when we are pressed. Lightning grants its moon signs strong intuition and a keen eye for detail, as well as great potential. This is a fortunate moon sign, and as an energetic secondary element, it should mesh and blend cleanly with your sun sign!
The [b]Morning Star[/b] was passing through the chamber between Shade and Ice at the time of your birth. The Morning Star is often associated with ambition, potential, and inner strength. As a transitory sign, this is difficult to interpret. However, you may find that in addition to Ice's calm and collected strength, you also have a lucky streak which keeps trouble away. Take care, however; Shade's gifts are always fickle, and you may find that your luck runs out at the worst of times. Always rely on your own skills before you fall back on fickle Fate.
The [b]Blue Wanderer[/b] was in Water's domain, its home element. This planet usually portends challenge and trouble, and it is no different in Water. Your life may be characterized by sudden and uncomfortable changes which catch you by surprise. Take heart, and remember that every dip in the sea is followed by a swelling wave. You may also have trouble with melancholy or feelings of self-doubt. In these times, turn to others for support and remember that your worst moments do not define you.
Finally, the [b]Red Giant[/b] was in Shade at your birth. Just as its color is as red as heart's blood, the Red Giant is an omen pertaining to matters of the heart: bonds, relationships, and love. Shade is, as always, a tricky element to interpret, concerned as it is with illusions, mysteries, transformation, and hidden danger. You may be troubled in love, or people who you trusted may unexpectedly turn on you. Be cautious of who you trust. That said, Shade has a positive interpretation as well: the people dearest to you may appear in unexpected circumstances, or come in the guise of enemies. Rather than fret over what is true, allow these relationships to take their course and judge them as they come. Fickle Shade will send you fortune either good or ill as it pleases.

Phew! That should about cover it. :)
