The Zodiac of the Galaxy ✦
There’s no ancient temple for this, no dusty scrolls hidden in an archive.
I made it up. Every sign, every trait, every thread of lore — spun from my own imagination, stitched together from starlight and insect wings.
The Zodiac of the Galaxy is a work of fiction — a celestial bestiary that never existed, but could have. Twelve cosmic creatures, each with their own signs, symbols, and stories, loosely inspired by the traits of the real-world zodiac. They are not bound by planets or history. They live in a world where constellations hum, and the night sky crawls with life.
It’s not a system for divination.
It’s an art project. A story. A collection.
If you find yourself in one of these signs, take it as a gift from the imagination — a little piece of the cosmos to tuck into your pocket.
Welcome to the Zodiac of the Stars.
Choose your wings.
