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.

☆ FOR THE 2nd DAY OF ELECTIONS ☆
HAJIME: The elections.. are tiring. As such.. I have a suggestion that I want to discuss with the winners and remaining candidates, immediately.
EVERYONE: Yes~?
＊＊＊
HAJIME: ...is what we decided on. What do you think, Chairman?
SHIRODA: ...! ⭐️✨
→
They decided to change the elections format a bit!
#Hyakunen Aoharu
☆ ELECTIONS MODIFICATION ☆
HAJIME: Let this be a way to make the most of each candidate's enthusiasm, ability to act, and the support and enthusiasm backing each of them.
＊＊＊
① Adding the Cultural Festival Executive Committee position
② Tomorrow's elections will be for deciding a role, not for winning or losing
#Hyakunen Aoharu
☆ CANDIDATES DISCUSSION (3rd YEAR) ☆
MORIHITO: Hajime-san was too strong...!
TSUBAKI: As expected of him..!
IKU: I'm relieved that it was like this. On the other hand, I feel like I need to do better. It's a really strange feeling (laughs)
MORIHITO: I understand (laughs). So.. for tomorrow, Tendouin-san, didn't you originally want to be a PR rep? In that case, isn't it fine to make you one without voting?
TSUBAKI: Oh my.
IKU: No objections from me! Then, the remaining of us will have to decide either on the Vice-President or the Cultural Festival Executive Committee Member!
MORHITO: OK! Either role would be...
IKU: interesting!
MORIHITO & IKU: Hahaha
#Hyakunen Aoharu
☆ CANDIDATES DISCUSSION (1st YEAR) ☆
RUKA: Cultural Festival Executive Committee Member... you say?! That sounds really interesting!!
ROA: Right?!
YUUMA: Hahaha, I'm glad more positions were added. Let's all do our best in the Student Council!
ROA: ...(stares intently)
YUUMA: ? Roa-san...?
ROA: Ruka-kun. I've noticed something...
RUKA: Oh?
ROA: Considering his nickname is "Oshirase Yuuma", is there any other human out there who is so suitable for the PR role?
RUKA: Oh! Everyone who voted agrees to that! Shirase Yuuma is not a secretary but a PR rep!
YUUMA: Uhm..
ROA: Yuuma-kun, don't you want to be a PR rep?!
YUUMA: I-I mean sure?
RUKA: You see, Roa-pi and I love festivals....
RUKA: I want to be a Cultural Festival Executive Committee member, not a PR rep!! The feeling of youth is amazing!!
ROA: I get you!! Ruka-pi!!
RUKA: Roa-pi!!
＞＞HUGS＜＜
YUUMA: Y-Yuuma-pi's allright with it if you two are happy!!
ROA & RUKA: Saying Yuuma-pi is a bit unreasonable.
YUUMA: Ehhh
#Senpai were a bit harsh in weird situations
ROA: ...And so, the 1st years have decided on their positions through the discussions! No need for voting!
RUKA: Yuuma-kun is the PR rep. And Roa-pi and I will be part of the Cultural Festival Executive Committee!
HAJIME: ...It certainly seems to fit them. I don't think it's a problem either. What do you think, Chairman?
SHIRODA: ...! 👌
#Hyakunen Aoharu
☆ CANDIDATES DISCUSSION (2nd YEAR) ☆
KURISU: ...Hm. Though I'm not sad to lose (I'm a bit disappointed), I do agree you're suited to be the treasurer!
RYOTA: T-Thank you (for telling me I'm suited to it)
KURISU: The positions of the PR rep and the cultural festival executive committee are the perfect roles for me and Chiru.
ICHIRU: Chiru..?
KURISU: And so.. let's hold the voting for PR rep tomorrow! It'll be between me and Chiru! If you win, you end up being the PR rep. And If you lose, you'll be in the cultural festival executive committee. Personally, I don't mind either.
ICHIRU: Y-Yeah! I-I don't mind!
RYOTA: Chiru, cute.
ICHIRU: Wait, don't agree with that name.
RYOTA: Oh, this is extra information but.. I could've aimed for the Vice-President role, but then I heard that from the 3rd Years, Morihito and Iku were running for it. Apparently, they'll be limited in the PR rep or the cultural festival executive committee.
ICHIRU: Yup. It's just like them.
KURISU: I agree. I'm better off with a megaphone, instead of having to pay attention to meticulous details.
RYOTA & ICHIRU: Ah (convinced)

And here’s Procella~! I am starting to see how most of the lore connects to the SQS7 play though...! I mean, despite only seeing spoilers/reports, I love how clear-cut they actually made some things! In any case, this lore definitely has a lot of potential for headcanons and theories!

And here is Six Gravity’s cast presentation for Zanshin~! Procellarum will be uploaded tomorrow, but I hope that you all enjoy Gravi’s for today~!
I’ll say, the lore and absolute dedication and care TsukiPro puts into their characters background for their AUs is just breathtaking...! There’s too many things to look out for, but at the same time, it leaves out just enough information for us to make theories/headcanons/etc. about! I love it so much~ (≧◡≦) ♡
I’ve read through the entire pamphlet, and boy... All the things we will learn about them is sure to be a fun (some angsty) ride! Please look forward to them, too~

With SQS7 already starting and in full swing, I figured I should start posting some of the translations for the Zanshin pamphlet~! Just so we can all be familiarized with the world-building and the lore within! (*≧ω≦*) (The play GenePros got me too hyped orz)
As with all TsukiPro AGF content, the lore is very rich, and the world-building very intricate, with some parts still open to interpretation!
With SQS7 already in motion, there will be more lore added to the play, but even then, the pamphlet’s lore itself is already full of information!
I’ll post one every other day just to keep my queue active, but let’s start with the very important introduction and glossary!
Some of you may notice some familiar words and names, but as is the case, the connections are up to us to decipher~! (✧ω✧)
I’ll try and pace the intervals at a reasonable time, but for now, I hope you all enjoy the beginning of the pamphlet~!
