Aries: A vibrant and beautiful creature, Arian mermaids reside in shallow, brackish water such as lagoons, sometimes playing tricks on nearby humans or even drawing ships to their doom with siren calls. Their tails are a deep, blood red, marked with unclean, black stripes and fins that unfurl like fans at the end of their tail and its sides, as sharp and dangerous as their teeth, and they have delicate webbing between their fingers.
Taurus: These laid back beauties stick to mangroves and slow moving water. They decorate their bodies with the wonders of the sea: pearls, shells, and even the ocean life itself, allowing starfish to stick to their tails. They avoid others but will save many sailors from drowning. Their scales are as golden as the sun and their fins are strong yet tapered delicately.
Gemini: These mermaids are often found in the middle of the sea, playing with dolphins or even whales. They often tease sailors and flirt with them relentlessly. Their tails are particularly long and strong, scales so small they are indistinct though they creep up Geminiâs stomach. Their fins are awe inspiring shaped like wings at their back, trailing in a swirl behind them, radiant blue and white like the surf.
Cancer: These merfolk make their homes in coral reefs, curled up with eels and using clams as pillows. They protect the reefs from boats and fishermen, hoarding pearls and all other treasure they find. Their skin and scales are almost translucent, resembling mother of pearl, and emit a soft light similar to the moon, yet are hard like shell. Their nails and teeth are also sharp to defend themselves and their reef.
Leo: These mermaids are brazen, often approaching populated beaches, drawn by the laughter of the children they love to play with and often save from drowning. They decorate themselves with the treasures of the sea, braiding pearls and shells into their hair and wrapping beautiful plants around their waists. Their tails are like sunlight, their eyes sharp and golden, and their fins almost heart-shaped.
Virgo: These reclusive mermaids live in freshwater rivers where they hunt fish and play in the current, cleaning their rivers of trash and helping animals survive. Their skin is splattered with markings similar to the pebbled riverbed. Algae creeps up their tails, which are rough, like an alligatorâs skin and which creeps up their spines as well, colored a similar dark green
Libra: More siren than merfolk, these gorgeous beings often steal sailors away, seducing them with first their elegant voices and then their eyes as bright as the sky. They donât realize that they are harming the sailors, thinking only that they are taking them to a better place. Libran mermaids are like wisps of mist, airy and light, tails shiny and a gentle blue, fins delicate and wispy.
Scorpio: No human has ever seen a Scorpio mermaid; they remain deep beneath the sea where few have ever reached, where no light touches, reclusive and secretive. Their scales are as dark as the night but their skin is patterned with intricate swirls which emit a hazy, purple glow just as their eyes do. Their tails are as lithe as an eel and finned in a similar manner.
Sagittarius: Who knows where you will spot this mermaid? They travel all over the world, from freshwater to the deepest depths of the ocean, constantly exploring and seeking out other mermaids and people alike. Their scales are scattered across their body, the color of the sunrise, and their fins are a brilliant fan, ombré and almost ruffled as it creeps up their tail in layers.
Capricorn: Reclusive and quiet, these merfolk stay in deep water, very rarely coming to the surface. They are predators but do not attack humans as other mermaids do because they wish to be left alone. Their tail is not scaled, but rather more similar to a sharkâs sleek flesh, and a deep color that wavers between purple and blue, and their fins hard and sharp. They are all lean muscle and dark eyes.
Aquarius: These merfolk often hang around heavily populated beaches and even ports. Curious about human beings and their technology, they often make friends with humans and visit them regularly. When not amongst humans they are exploring the ocean. Their tales are a deep, regal purple, their hair long and tangled, a very similar color, and they decorate their bodies with strange items they find in the water.
These little merfolk are mostly reclusive but very curious about humans. They live in lagoons or among the mangroves. Quiet and never imposing, they keep the animals safe and use their magic to keep the water clean. Their scales are a deep magenta that glimmers in the light, fins as long as their hair, and on their jaw rests a pair of fan-like fins that they use to scare away predators.
