are we going to get special outcomes for every element or just potentially Ophiuchus and Cetus I wonder

I only drew 12 outfits so maybe they’re special outcomes?

I chose to include Ophiuchus and Cetus solely because they look like a fun deviation to the usual, it’s unlikely to be the standard for future zodiac litters

don't love that it's already devolving into zodiac gatekeeping like in January.

Sorry, I think that was a result of my question to someone else. If I'd been active in January I maybe would have known better than to ask 😅 I don't really follow the zodiacs beyond enjoying the related imagery and mythologies behind them, I didn't even know there were other debated ones out there. So I don't have any strong opinions, personally, and I've been loving the designs so far! Kudos to the artist for sure.

I've grown the blue, and was not overly impressed. Some people love them, however. I don't recognize today's, however. Any ideas?

I absolutely love the chameleons but with the banana confirmation I start thinking of this video every time one grows and it makes me crack up every time

I tried to google it and only found articles that a fake story of Nasa finding a thirteenth zodiac had been circulating around that time :lol: I'm so out of my depth.

Oh well. As long as the designs are just as pretty, I think I'll be okay with it. You'd think they'd only release ones that match the new item sets from the store.

They better have pretty designs cause I don’t wanna deal with no fake zodiacs bro

Dude, they're all "fake". Zodiacs are just made up nonsense that some people for whatever reason believe in and base their lives on.
Doesn't matter how many are including, they're just pretty pixels on a screen after all.

Anyway, I'm still impressed I've only missed one so far! Got today's horse and still have growing red ones left too ^.^

I don't believe in astrology, but here's a cool astronomy fact because I love stars: Ophiuchus lies along the ecliptic (the plane of orbit that the Earth takes around the sun) with the other zodiac constellations, making it technically the 13th by placement. It's omitted mostly because the number doesn't line up with 12-month year we're used to basing things on, although if I remember right, it does signify one of the lunar months! The 13 zodiac constellations are great for tracking the progression of the year by sidereal (star-based) time!

Anyway, the zodiac horses are gorgeous ^^

Those two were hardly even thought of. They still are sidelined and not included in the traditional zodiac. If they were, it'd mess things up. I was born in May. May is Taurus/Gemini. I am 100% Gemini and will not accept anything else.

I really like this yellow blue contrast with the leaves?

Another interesting tidbit about the widely used 12 month system is that it only had 10 months at first. For example: October. Latin 'oct' like octopus. 8 :3
December is 10.
Winter days (around 60) were not accounted for.
New year was March.

They later accounted for the 'missing' days and added January and February but it wasn't until Julius Ceasar visited Egypt that they really doubled down on 365 days with leap years and renamed some of the months after Julius and his successor Augustus (Who was named Octavian but OK)

Later on a pope named Gregory wanted to fix the calendar so Easter was actually in spring. Took hundreds of years to be implemented worldwide. That is the 'Gregorian calendar' most of the world goes by now.
Phew thank you for coming to my Ted talk. 😆

I get the feeling, I will not accept CAPRICORN are you serious I'm 100% Aquarius (respectfully to all Capricorns of course, it's just not me )
I will say I'm not huge into all the Zodiac lore and ins and outs I only really know the basics and a bit more I just like it for a bit of fun
