YOU CLEAR THE SKIES...
Your brain goes into autopilot, trying to find something, anything that you can use to pull Ran free from this perilous situation. To your relief, you spot an abandoned skipping rope nearby. While in any normal circumstance you know that would be a stupid idea, you really bank on dream logic helping you out on this one.
Making sure to dig your heels into the dirt to ground yourself, you quickly turn the skipping rope into a makeshift lasso before tossing it out towards the girl currently being tossed about in the increasingly angry tornado. To your relief, the rope finds your target, latching around Ran who instinctively grabs on with all her strength.
It isn’t an easy job, trying to fight against nature’s might as you do all you can to yank Ran free. It takes quite a few tugs of the rope, but eventually you break Ran free of the wind’s grip. As you do, the storm around her suddenly seems to dissipate like magic, the roaring winds and torrential rains fading into a gentle breeze. However, you don’t have time to be thankful that your plan worked, as you have a new problem to consider: Ran’s falling!
You drop the rope and rush in, your arms outstretched as you hope against hope you reach her in time. Despite your worries, you’re relieved as you suddenly feel her arms wrap around you as she falls into your arms, causing you to stumble back from the impact. You check to see if she’s alright, but her hold on you only tightens as it turns into a warm, relieved hug.
“Ah… W… Oh… Wow!” She laughs weakly, but you can feel her shaking like a leaf. It’s clear she’s still overwhelmed from her frightening ordeal, “I… I r… ruh-really didn’t think I’d m-make it out of there! I thought… I… I wuh… I was-” Ran shakes her head, giving up on that thought as she lets out a trembling sigh, “You saved me… T-Thank you…”
You tell her you’re just happy you showed up when you did, and she pulls back from the hug to give you an appreciative smile. However, something soon catches her attention as she looks past you in amazement, “Wow…”
You turn your head to follow her gaze, and to your amusement the now blue sky is painted with the biggest rainbow you have ever seen in your life. As you appreciate one of these dreams giving you something pleasant to look at for once, you hear Ran sigh dreamily to herself, her lingering feelings of fear seeming to melt away.
“S-Sometimes the most terrifying experiences lead to the most buh-beautiful experiences, don’t they…?”
You can’t help but agree, as you lead her away back to the safety of the waking world.

While this plain wooden door doesn’t stand out too much on its own, the fact that it’s rattling and shaking does have you a little on edge. Your mind races on all the possibilities. What’s on the other side, and if you open this door, will it somehow escape?
You swallow and shake your head. The Guardians never mentioned that being a possibility, so you resolve yourself to see this through. The moment you reach out and turn the handle, the door bursts open, and you find yourself sucked in.
Your feet aren’t touching the ground anymore, the wind is rushing your ears, and you think to yourself “I must be falling!” But opening your eyes, you see your reality is somehow much worse. Debris and household objects whip around you in a flurry of wind and rain, thunder booming in the close distance as you’re thrashed about by the severe storm you now find yourself caught in the middle of.
Only one thought enters your mind: safety! Find safety! Luckily you aren’t lifted too far off the ground, and you’re able to find a structure to stable yourself on. Slowly edging your way out of the raging wind, you break free of the cyclone’s angry hold, panting as you try to catch your breath.
You don’t get long to gather your bearings, as something within the storm finally catches your attention. There is somebody else caught within its winds, who seems to be in much greater peril than you! Ran the acrobat waves to you urgently from within the whirlwind she’s been caught in, trying to catch your attention. When you finally spot her, you can see her cup her hands to her mouth, trying to shout something to you. However, her voice is lost within the raging wind, and you’re left unsure of what she’s trying to say. Judging by the terror on her face and her current predicament, you’re sure it can’t be good.
Keeping yourself braced, you try to reach out for her, but she’s too far from grasp for that to ever be an option. Ran calls out to you again with tears in her eyes, but you hear nothing.
You better find a way to save Ran before she’s blown away!

• Simply click the spoiler below to find your sign and read your horoscope
• Beneath each horoscope is a spoiler that contains more information about your sign
You will begin this year carrying the weight of self-doubt and troubling thoughts. You may even feel the need to punish yourself in one way or another as you second guess your own choices. I promise you, these thoughts shall lessen and pass, as you deserve to practice and experience self-love.
This is an important year on your journey for self-improvement. While you should not blame yourself if you trip and stumble on your path, you will be rewarded for your efforts and diligence. Keep at it, the best you can. You will also experience a boom of creativity, especially approaching springtime. Use this newfound inspiration to your advantage, but do not overwork yourself, as you will find yourself busier than ever once summer arrives.
PERSONALITY
Known to be very strict and like to take control. Can come across as ‘bossy’. Values responsibility, duty, and trustworthiness in others. Has high expectations and standards of others. Has a very strong presence. Very loyal and thoughtful towards those close. Dedicates self fully to everything, and does nothing half-assed. Wants to give only the best.
MOST COMPATIBLE
The Forsaken Ermine, The Eternal Wolf, The Forgotten Dryad, The Cursed Grimalkin
LEAST COMPATIBLE
The Snowfell Raven, The Feral Stallion, The Mourning Siren, The Forest Monarch, The Domestic Drake, The Wandering Hare
BEFORE OBSCURE STARLING JOINED THE STARS
When night descends upon the realm, stars come out to play. Day dawns and darkness falls. It is a cycle that has been taken for granted since time immemorial. Why does it happen? Some would argue that the Starlings take flight when the sun sets to bring the curtain of night. Not one but many. All life rests beneath the wings of these celestial birds for all life returns as a star among its wing.

You will find yourself facing an unexpected confrontation sooner than you might like to imagine. While this may cause you to experience a great hurt, do not let this pain cause lingering resentment or allow it to drag you down. This will be a great learning experience, and you will grow from this encounter.
On a more positive note, you will find yourself at the center of attention soon after and will receive very positive feedback during. Allow yourself this positive attention, you are worthy of it. You will also find a way to take all the negativity you've experienced during the last year and channel it into more creative venues.
PERSONALITY
Intelligent, natural born problem solver. Has an eye for nice things. Creative thinker. Likes to keep a distance and can become uncomfortable when discussing personal topics.

BEFORE SNOWFELL RAVEN JOINED THE STARS
The Albino Raven made its home where snow fell. It would often watch as humans toiled against one another in the lands below. They would fight and argue, and bandits would lay waste to their efforts. When asked why he was watching them, the Snowfell Raven replied thus: "When they have worn themselves down to the last man, there will be no more destruction. Our nests can rise in peace, and our patience will be rewarded by the riches left in their wake."

You are such a gentle soul, be careful of those who lurk within the shadows. Somebody close to you wishes to take advantage of your kindness, do not allow yourself to be hurt. This is a good time to re-access who you have let into your inner circle and what qualifies as a "true friend". Remember that it is healthy to set boundaries and to speak up for yourself, your feelings matter.
However, this will not be the majority of your interactions during this year. Overwhelmingly, you will find yourself experiencing friendly interactions and forming positive relationships during this year. Continue to believe that there are good people out there, as you will be meeting some soon.

Can be very wise and understanding. Often gets lost in daydreams and fantasies, head in the clouds. Hopelessly romantic and gives their all in a relationship.

BEFORE FORSAKEN ERMINE JOINED THE STARS
The white stoat was set down and told to wait, and so it did. Seconds turned to minutes and then to hours, but it knew no concept of time. It just knew it had to be good, had to sit and wait. The sun shone, the rain poured, the snow raged, and still it waited. The Forsaken Ermine was so weak by the time it was retrieved, but to its new master went its complete trust, and so was life renewed.

You no longer need to worry about those intense feelings of anger or negativity you had experienced the previous year. They will fade away as you continue into this year, and you will find yourself at a place of peace. This will fuel a new sense of purpose and drive for you, and should you follow it, you will find yourself accomplishing amazing goals with great success.
As difficult as it may be, you will find yourself needing to acquiesce during arguments more than usual. This will help you avoid further conflict and hardship, so fight the urge to stand your ground on trivial matters. Take the higher road. However, when it comes to your well-being, make sure you follow your own instincts and put your needs above the opinions of others.
PERSONALITY
Strong willed. Passionate. Direct and honest. Hot heated and prone to outbursts under pressure. React to most slights with anger. Puts self and own needs above others in most decisions. Bad liars and usually have pure intentions. Stubborn, but can relent when confronted by patience and logic. Open to new perspectives under the right circumstances. Often seek reassurance.

BEFORE FERAL STALLION JOINED THE STARS
The water horse would appear to those who peered within the lake, content to drag beholders down into the abyss. They would stand by the shore and gaze down at their reflection, but tranquility would not last. The Feral Stallion would emerge in a splash and take the observer, young or old, deep deep beneath the blue. They would always visit the lake to drown, but the kelpie wouldn't let them, and they found new life on the other side of the lake within the moor.

You experienced a great deal of change last year, and this year that will all pay off. This is your year to blossom and take control of your life path. Although you will face opposition, make sure to stand your ground and not give in, especially during times of tension. Your hard work will pay off, and heading into this year with a sense of determination will serve you well.
You may find your social situation experiencing some changes soon, and this may cause you to feel more vulnerable than usual. However, these adjustments will be for the best. This is a great time for you to step in and take on a more authoritative role in your circle, your confidence will guide you well and you will receive appreciation for your efforts.

BEFORE ETERNAL WOLF JOINED THE STARS
The Eternal Wolf would not relent to those who sought to usurp its word. It warned its tribe to stay away from the bridge to the promised land, but they did not listen. They knew it clung to past beliefs, and nothing bad would happen if they went of their own accord. They headed for greener pastures, but the way collapsed as they were passing, and the Eternal Wolf gave its life to save the tribe.

You experienced many hardships last year, having struggled even worse than others around you. Fear not, this time has passed and your future is bright. You should expect to experience many positive encounters this year and form new, lasting bonds. You will also find yourself at the center of sudden events that will turn strongly in your favour.
This is your year, take this new spotlight put on you and use it to your advantage. This is a great time to make that big change you've been considering. Your instincts will not guide you wrong, follow their lead. This may, forever, lead you to needing to make some serious changes in your lifestyle that involve letting go of something or somebody that has been holding you back. As difficult as it may be, it would be in your best interest to take that leap.

BEFORE MOURNING SIREN JOINED THE STARS
The Mourning Siren sang each day until the humans grew tired of it. They sent a ship to exterminate it, but it did not raise a hand against them. It sang until its dying breath in their arms and when silence fell, something far worse emerged from the deep. The hunters did not return, and neither did the humans live long without the Mourning Siren's song.

The security you've grown accustomed to will soon be experiencing a massive shakeup, but this isn't necessarily for the worse. You will be presented with many challenges, but if you face them head on, will leave this year stronger than ever before. Before things change for you, I would suggest you take this time to reflect on the previous year and all you have been through. It will prepare you for what is coming.
While your personal connections are important, you will find yourself driven to independence and distancing this year. There is nothing wrong in setting boundaries for yourself, but be sure not to neglect those that are most important to you. You may find yourself facing future emotional distress, otherwise.
PERSONALITY
Defensive and private. Only opens up to trusted people. Moody and internal. Very emotionally honest when close to somebody, and has a very gentle soft side that they keep protected with their outer shell. Naturally caring and heartfelt. Enjoys commitment.

The Twice-Hissed Cat spent its time alone for everywhere it went, its breath turned the air to death. Wandering into a realm unlike its own, it was met with a silhouette and in its greeting, it thought the entity would perish. But the specter said hello right back and the two would become fast friends once the Twice-Hissed Cat hissed its last.

This won't be an easy year for you. Prepare to face more obstacles than usual on your path this year, and great difficulties in accomplishing your goals. Prepare for authority figures and those closest to you to be more at odds with you, as well. However, these challenges are going to push you to grow and become stronger than before, and you will feel a great sense of personal fulfillment by the end of this year.
Don't take it as a surprise when you find yourself experiencing a great change this year, your life path is taking a bold new direction. Some relationships will be fading out and ending this year, and while that may hurt, this will be for the best. It will not be an easy year for you, I fear, but I do promise the struggle you experience will be worth it in the end. A great reward is waiting for you.
PERSONALITY
Natural born leader, loves attention and to be the center of spotlight, but likes to have alone time as well. People are naturally drawn to you. Can be selfish and sometimes not treat others the way they would like to be treated. Highly romantic and are very giving in a relationship. Warm, radiant, and encouraging.

BEFORE FOREST MONARCH JOINED THE STARS
The Forest Monarch ruled the land with a charming smile, and a graceful leap. It was hailed as the most beautiful creature in the forest, and all life sang its praise. But with unending adulation came suspicion, and ultimately... boredom. The crowned stag desired a true friend to break the monotony, to give it the meaningful link it secretly needed. But the crowd was always gathered 'round, cheers blocking out the voices that would actually matter if The Forest Monarch only stopped to listen.

The Forest Monarch ruled the land with a charming smile, and a graceful leap. It was hailed as the most beautiful creature in the forest, and all life sang its praise. But with unending adulation came suspicion, and ultimately... boredom. The crowned stag desired a true friend to break the monotony, to give it the meaningful link it secretly needed. But the crowd was always gathered 'round, cheers blocking out the voices that would actually matter if The Forest Monarch only stopped to listen.
This year will be a busy, yet fruitful endeavor for you. Prepare to be faced with a series of fresh opportunities in all areas of your life, from relationships, growth, happiness, and success. While there will also be some challenges you will face along the way, the good will far outweigh the bad and your efforts will be rewarded.
While this will be a busy year, I urge you to take great caution not to overwork yourself, as burnout is on your horizon. To avoid this, make sure you are taking care of your health and well-being, and to schedule in time to relax. Also avoid the urge to take on more tasks than you can handle, there is nothing wrong with pacing yourself. Consume your tasks, do not allow them to consume you.

BEFORE FORGOTTEN DRYAD JOINED THE STARS
It was said that the tree woman wandered into the forest and never found her way out. Taken by spirits, the elders would warn the children of the village. The boy did not listen, however, and met the Forgotten Dryad when he ventured too far within the green maze. You are safe now, she told him, for society's chains could not reach them anymore. Neither he nor she were slaves to the humans, or the fear they revered.

There will be a strong pull to make some positive changes this year, follow that ambition and you will find yourself experiencing great success for your efforts. You may find that your professional and personal obligations will clash this year, and while balancing both is vital, make sure that you are watching out for yourself as well. You stretch yourself out too thin and this can easily lead to you feeling overwhelmed. There is nothing wrong with setting personal boundaries.
Your personal relationships will take an interesting turn this year. You will find a lot of people coming to you for advice, and feel free to share it. Your insights have great value, and your thoughts will play an important role in helping out those close to you. However, be careful to be considerate of the feelings and vulnerabilities of those around you. A great conflict is approaching, prepare yourself.

BEFORE DOMESTIC DRAKE JOINED THE STARS
There once was a man who saw fit to rule dragonkind. He showed a Domestic Drake kindness, and the drake, unsure of where he could go in life, threw himself into serving the man well. The only problem was that the drake was scared. Fearful of life and its ups and its downs. When the master fell to men who would take his land, the Domestic Drake charged without thinking, and rid itself of the chains that kept it still with inaction.

You may find yourself feeling more introspective and thoughtful than ever before, and this is a positive change. Explore new ways of thinking and understanding, this new outlook will serve you well. This is also a good year to take up a new hobby or interest, so do not hesitate to throw yourself into a new project or sign up for classes. Your mind is ready to learn.
Be sure to set your own boundaries and enforce them, as others are willing to take advantage of your vulnerabilities. A toxic relationship that has been causing you harm will soon be ended, and they will no longer be able to use you. Protect yourself from any new relationships this year, while there are good people out there waiting to meet you, there are also those willing to take more than they give.

BEFORE CURSED GRIMALKIN JOINED THE STARS
The Cursed Grimalkin spent its life tied up in worry and despair. Nothing good ever came to its door, but neither did its door ever open. When it eventually met a lonely end, it was introduced to others like it in the world beyond. Together they understood each other, and life as they knew it was no longer a chore. The Cursed Grimalkin was never truly alone, but merely captivated by its own weakness just as it was captivated by those who would finally stand by its side.

You will feel a strong pull for change soon, and I suggest you do not fight it. New doors of opportunity will open once you let go of the past and move in a new direction. This may simply take the form of redecorating your house, or be as bold as to completely relocate yourself. take control of your surroundings and build your own space, it will give you the sense of balance you've been missing.
This is a good year to fight self-doubt. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, the risk of humiliation is low and the chance for success reigns high. You will make new connections this year that will grow into strong bonds in no time. This is a good year for adventure, so allow yourself to try new things and open yourself to new experiences. Open your mind.

BEFORE WANDERING HARE JOINED THE STARS
The Wandering Hare made its home in a hut, but the walls grew too close. It was time to move. It bought a house with all that it saved, encountered new people, made friends with neighbors, and excelled at a new job. Life was good but altogether mundane. It met someone, then, and wanted children. The Wandering Hare became a grandparent before long, but even then couldn't be held down.

Strolling the plaza, you can't help but notice a large table has been set up, spread with all sorts of crafting supplies. Paper, markers, scissors, glue, glitter... You name it? It's there.
Behind the table sits a focused young woman, in the process of carefully cutting out a paper heart. As you step closer, you realize it's Ran, famed acrobat of Cirque ad Infinitum. She looks up at you, blushing nervously.
"Oh, h-hi! Wuh-What am I doing...? Ah... W...Well, it's Vibrance Day... And it's a day wuh-where you show your love! And I think there's no be-better way than with a homemade card..." She holds her cheeks with a dreamy smile, "Is there anything more romantic...?"
She snaps out of her thoughts, shaking her head, "O-Or it's a good gift for friends and family! Do you wa-wanna join me? We can make it a game! Let's see who can make the nicest card!"

A few moments after Connie left, Ran peeps her head past the entrance drapes. Before she could speak, she took a deep breath to calm
the fluttering in her heart.
"H-hello Io. I just saw c-Constance leave -- wa-was she mean to you again?"
Ran politely seats herself in front of Io, eyes locking on his lips until she catches herself and shakes her head embarrassed.
Her hands nervously travel up to her hair as she twirls strands around her fingers.
"Also, if it d-doesn't bother you.....could I ha-have a reading?"
She wanted to ask for a reading on her love life specifically, but couldn't work up the words.
