Hello, hello~! I'm very happy to finally share my translations for the Tsuki Kagetsu pamphlet~
Tsuki Kagetsu is onmyouji-themed, and its world is filled with mysterious forces, spirits, and the people who keep it in control.
It has pretty dark undertones too, which is really enjoyable and offers a lot of food for thought in terms of theories and headcanons!
Lore-wise, it is implied to be very political, but aside from bits and pieces shown through the characters' lores, it doesn't dive too deep into it. (Although I wish it did LMAO)
Either way, it establishes a strong lore while still leaving some stuff up to interpretation so fans can have fun with it~!
Like with every other AGF theme, I am once again saying that I wish to see it adapted on stage someday, too!
(I have not given up on Picatrix stage yet...!😂)
Thank you to Rakuen for helping me get my copy~!
Notes, and masterpost under the cut, enjoy~!
A few notes:
A bit of a trigger warning:
There are multiple mentions of death, near-death experiences, and abuse (specifically child abuse) in the lore, so please be mindful as you read.
The characters have two sets of quotes, one from the picture uploaded on Twitter, and then there's the quote in the pamphlet.
I've labeled them "Pictured Quote (Twitter Quote)" and "Pamphlet Quote" respectively, to avoid confusion.
All character pictures and designs are property of TsukiPro and the respective artists.
I do not claim ownership of them whatsoever. I only did the translations.
If any of the links are wonky (not working or linking to the wrong file), please don't hesitate to send me an ask/DM so I can update!

Hello, hello~! It has been a really long time since Picatrix released, and translating the pamphlet took a lot more time than usual ^^;
Tsukino Picatrix was their prompt/theme last year, and it's a world of magic, wizards, fantasy, and mysteries~
It's an interesting and magical take with strong astrological themes and influences, if I'm being honest, but the lore and world-building is solid as always!
It still leaves a lot open to interpretation for the sake of letting the fans be creative about it. You gotta love how much TsukiPro spoils us with these AUs~
With Fujiwara leaving the creative board, I'm afraid that things in the fandom have been slow, and it's been difficult to stay locked in to it, but TsukiPika slowly brought me back down that deep, deep swamp.
(o^▽^o)
I do hope we get to see Tsukino Picatrix adapted on stage one of these days! I'd love to see SQS's take on it, that's for sure~
I hope that you enjoy the world as much as I did!
Which Guardian Planet would you choose for yourself, I wonder~
Thank you to Rakuen for helping me get my copy~!
Notes, and masterpost under the cut, enjoy~!
A few notes:
A lot of the technical information stuff in the pamphlet were taken from Wikipedia (like the planetary information). The blank map I used for a portion of the translations was taken from Wikipedia.
