Primal Astrology Signs (Aries)

Primal astrology is a branch of astrology which combines the Western and Eastern (Chinese) traditions, creating 144 new signs that provide a deeper look into your personality. Although the system does include the use of the term "spirit animal", we can disregard that and simply view these signs as "primal animals", which I believe is just as accurate.

ARIES (MARCH 21ST - APRIL 19TH) + RAT (1972, 1984, 1996)

Piranha

In nature, the piranha is a small but powerful fish with razor sharp teeth, and a hunger to consume whatever is foolish enough to get in its way. In human society, members of the Piranha Primal Zodiac sign aren't all that different. They are fearless, aggressive, and get what they want every time. They are highly career-oriented, and use their charm and high energy levels to push forward consistently. Piranhas have an oversized appetite for success that is never satisfied. They have the smarts and the will to do whatever it takes to get ahead, and they often do.

This is not to say that Piranhas are unlikable. In truth, they usually have many friends, and are fiercely loyal to their families. They are self-sufficient enough to not need anyone else, though, and when they find that others don’t have the drive to succeed, they will move on all by themselves. Members of this sign are as popular as they choose to be, but they also make many enemies. While they are mostly in control of every situation, they sometimes lash out at others unnecessarily, and can be mean-spirited. After they have cooled down, though, don’t expect a Piranha to apologize for their behavior. Instead, they will walk away blaming you for the whole event.

ARIES + OX (1973, 1985, 1997)

Hippopotamus

The hippopotamus is often portrayed as passive and lazy, but in reality, they can be highly dangerous if you step into their territory uninvited. Grown hippos have canine teeth up to 20 inches long, and can snap them down on opponents with the force of a sledgehammer. They are generally passive among their own, but can explode in an aggressive rage if pushed.

This sums up people born under the Primal Zodiac sign quite well. They are serious and forceful when necessary, but mostly, they are just hard-working and goal-oriented. They house a lot of inner conflict, as they are simultaneously adventurous, ambitious, reserved, and focused. Hippos can be stubborn and judgmental, and though usually even-keeled, can be impulsive when upset. Achieving balance should be the life goal of most members of this sign.

ARIES + TIGER (1974, 1986, 1998)

Rhinoceros

How do you stop a charging rhinoceros? You don’t. You run like hell, and don’t look back. People born under the sign of the Rhinoceros are strong, determined, aggressive, and never back down from a challenge. Though this impetuousness occasionally gets them into trouble, members of this sign usually come out of battle victorious. They are both brave and lucky, as if blessed somehow by fate to constantly fight, and constantly win.

For better or worse, this is probably the most fearless sign in the Primal Zodiac, which fits perfectly with their desire for action and love of adventure. Non-conformists by nature, they would probably run off and live in the wild, if it didn’t mean they would be alone most of the time. Despite their aggressive nature, Rhinos crave social interaction, especially when it involves them telling stories of their great adventures to anyone who will listen.

ARIES + RABBIT (1975, 1987, 1999)

Llama

Despite appearing quiet and easygoing, those born under the sign of the Llama are actually powerful, capable, and determined individuals. Llamas have no problem going with the flow as long as it works for them, but don’t even think about getting in their way if they want to make a change. These are the people that slowly and steadily move toward their goals, as if oblivious to the obstacles in the way. Of course, they see every obstacle, and may even suffer through anxiety and uncertainty along the way, but from the outside, you would never know it. Inside, there may be a whirlwind of thoughts and feelings, but nothing defines a Llama better than having a cool and calm exterior.

This is a sign that is always surprising you. They have unique ways of seeing the world, and often have big dreams to go along with their unique perspectives. It’s as if they were born to make their vision of life turn into a reality. They always seem to come up with ideas that others at first find strange, but later realize are actually quite brilliant. Even if nobody else understands their point of view, Llamas have good instincts, and know which ideas to defend, and when to fight for them.

Llamas are lucky, in that many of their seemingly conflicting characteristics tend to balance out well together. They can appear relaxed while anxious, confident while insecure, carefree while focused, and delicate while strong. Sure, they can have occasional outbursts of frustration and indignation - just as their animal namesake has been known to spit in the faces of others when they are behaving in a way the llama doesn’t like - but these are rarely seen by others. This only adds to their natural ability to intrigue others, without having to appear moody or mysterious.

ARIES + DRAGON (1976, 1988, 2000)

Tyrannosaurus Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex needs no introduction. Not the dinosaur, nor the person. Members of the T-Rex sign are impossible not to notice. Their very presence dominates every situation they are a part of, from social gatherings to a day at the office.

Not surprisingly, Tyrannosaurus Rex natives are very polarizing. People either absolutely worship them, or cannot stand them at all. Not that a T-Rex would care, let alone notice. They tend to be very self-involved, yet carry a sureness and a charm that others admire. They are natural leaders, and they know it. Both the dinosaur and the person are on the top of their respective food chains, and have no intention of giving up that power.

This sign is the most aggressive and demanding of all the Primal Zodiac signs. They can be absolutely tyrannical, as the name suggests, if they don’t have control over every situation. They are extremely capable of success, and love proving it by overcoming challenge after challenge. They cannot be stopped, simply because they believe they cannot be stopped. They are used to getting what they want, and if they don’t, they shrug it off and move on.

ARIES + SNAKE (1977, 1989, 2001)

Praying Mantis

The Praying Mantis is the master manipulator of the Primal Zodiac. Those born under this sign have a gift for convincing others to do whatever they want them to. Like their animal namesake, members of this sign prefer to blend into the background and wait for their prey to come to them. That’s not to say that Praying Mantises are evil, or even ill-intentioned. They simply have the power to get others to do things that benefit them. Used for good, this is a rare and powerful skill set that can accomplish much more when shared with others than it could when Praying Mantises go it alone.

As you might expect, members of this sign are charming, charismatic, and energetic. They are hard to ignore, which is fine, because most who meet them would have no reason to want to ignore them anyway. They are well-mannered and intriguing on the outside, but aggressive and even possessive on the inside. Once a Praying Mantis discovers their powers of persuasion, it may become hard for them to control their desire to wield it. It takes time to master a powerful gift, and in that time the student may choose to use their powers to help others, or to serve themselves.

ARIES + HORSE (1978, 1990, 2002)

Hammerhead Shark

It is said that if a shark stops moving, it will drown. This is a brilliant metaphor for the Hammerhead Shark Primal Zodiac sign. Hammerheads are headstrong, independent, and adventurous. They have seemingly endless amounts of energy, and when they see something they want, they go after it full force. Members of this sign can’t stand restrictions. Their independence is the most important thing. They have a hard time settling down in careers and relationships unless they have the freedom to do what they want, when they want to do it.

From the outside, Hammerheads seem very confident, but this is not actually the case. They wear a mask most of the time - showing people the face they want them to see, not who they really are. They don’t like to stop and think about things, they would much rather just push forward and see what happens. They tend to be a bit self-involved, and at their worst can be overly aggressive and blunt, to the point of rudeness. Hammerheads like being around people, and tend to do best in large groups.

ARIES + GOAT (1979, 1991, 2003)

Catfish

Catfish are complex and somewhat mysterious creatures. Far more than most people, those born under the sign of Catfish will experience strong inner conflict during their lifetimes. That’s because Catfish have two very different sides of their personality that are difficult to get in sync with each other. They are simultaneously aggressive, yet sweet, and active, yet lazy.

Members of this sign mean well, and truly care about those around them, but sometimes they can’t help but act out. They are genuinely kind and caring, but have a tendency to say the wrong thing and offend others. Being a Catfish can be frustrating, as their actions don’t always match their intentions. Though typically social, in these difficult moments, members of the Catfish Primal Zodiac sign will head off on their own. Like their animal namesake, it’s as if they will sink if they don’t keep moving forward, looking for a place where they finally feel comfortable.

Catfish are sensitive, and when their lives are out of order, they can be very emotionally unstable. They often show a false sense of confidence to others, because they care very much how they are perceived. Internally, they are unsure of what direction to take with their lives, but are unstoppably driven to keep moving forward. The key to happiness for this sign is to learn to relax, and allow life to happen as it will. It will be very hard for them to give up control, but if they do, they will find that life is actually much more simple than they ever imagined.

ARIES + MONKEY (1980, 1992, 2004)

Gorilla

Those born under the Primal Zodiac sign of the Gorilla are defined by their big energy. They are show-stealers by design: outgoing, energetic, and clever. They are usually cheerful, and enjoy being the life of the party. That said, Gorillas are also egotistical, and their aggressive desire for attention can become overwhelming to others. They are happy when all eyes and ears are on them, but if ignored, they can be pouty and mean.

The Gorilla is a very active sign. They enjoy physical activity, and express themselves best through physical outlets. This is so true for members of this sign that if they don’t get enough physical activity, they can become depressed and angry. If this happens, everyone around will know it. Gorillas don’t bother hiding their emotions, which actually suits them well, since they often just need to get whatever is bothering them out. They need to be careful not to stay in a funk for too long, though, as these moods (amplified by their natural energy) can easily drive away those around them.

ARIES + ROOSTER (1981, 1993, 2005)

Goldfinch

One thing that will never be said about an Goldfinch is that they lack self-confidence. Members of this Primal Zodiac sign are overflowing with confidence, a trait that helps them succeed far beyond anyone else’s expectations. There is a mysterious power in these people that stems from their firm self-belief. It’s even said in ancient mythology that the powerful half-bird/half-women creatures, the Harpies, feared the Goldfinch for what they might be able to do.

Goldfinches are great at making friends, and love being part of social situations. They are highly active and energetic, which sometimes plays at odds with their tendency to want things organized and clean. Members of this sign expect things to go their way, and because of this, they often do. When they don’t get their way, their dark side comes out, and they become selfish, arrogant, bossy, and aggressive. Goldfinches don’t worry much about other people’s feelings, so getting them back on course is difficult. Luckily, the Goldfinch likes to feel good, so they won’t stay in a funk for long.

ARIES + DOG (1982, 1994, 2006)

Doberman Pinscher

Much like their animal namesake, members of the Doberman Pinscher sign are something of a contradiction. They can be dominant and aggressive one minute, then insecure and anxious the next. Dobermans are very focused individuals. Once they decide what they want, there is no stopping them. The only downside is that they don’t plan very well, and their impulsive actions can get them into trouble. They rarely worry about this, though, as they have a way of bouncing back from most bad situations.

Dobermans have trust issues that stem from their own naivety. They are consistently wary of what to trust, because they have a tendency to believe anything they are told. Members of this sign are typically outgoing and adventurous, and think that everyone should be. They enjoy taking others with them on their adventures, acting as guide and helper, hoping and expecting that everyone else will enjoy it as much as they do.

ARIES + PIG (1983, 1995, 2007)

Dodo

Despite their name, people born under the sign of the Dodo are actually quite intelligent, and have a thirst for learning new things. They have a childlike energy, and though well-mannered, can be a bit hyperactive at times. Like a child, they are infinitely curious, and want to know everything about everything.

Like the now-extinct bird, members of the Dodo sign tend to be very naive, believing just about anything they are told. This comes from their trusting nature, and assumption that people are always going to be nice and do the right thing. Luckily, they are also fairly resilient, and have a naturally positive outlook that helps them bounce back from disappointments.

Dodos have a “thirst for life”, and love to chase new experiences, from climbing a mountain to tasting exotic food from a distant land. They are typically happy and energetic, but when they are down, they can show a distinctly different side which will surprise those who know them. They can be angry, aggressive, judgmental and self-destructive. As long as they don’t stay in these moods for too long, they should be able to live a fairly well balanced life.

In the last decade, over 7,000 African Rhinos were lost to poaching and last year, South Africa alone lost over 1,000 rhinos, roughly three animals a day. These illegal killings is fueled by the rhino horn which is made up entirely of keratin, the same as toenails. Nonetheless, the illegal wildlife market has created a huge demand for rhino horn, buoyed by an inaccurate belief they cure cancer, making horns more valuable than gold.

A Deeper Understanding [Newt Scamander x reader]

A/N: Yes this is me, trying fanfiction again. I haven’t written a single word in like 3 years or sth? But whateveeeer I’ve been really inspired by the Harry Potter Universe again, so here we go. Also please excuse any grammatical errors! English is only my second language, so please be gentle haha! But if you like this stuff, please please tell me! I’m super anxious about my writing, but I will of course take constructive criticism.

Warnings: not really anything, it’s fluffy and a bit angsty, mention of death

Word Count: 2721

“I wonder, Mr Scamander, is that really the fitting pair of shoes for those trousers?”, you smirked, carrying a large bucket of feed for the mooncalves. The golden haired man looked up, following your body as you walked past him. He was crouched down, tying his oak-brown leather shoes. The right corner of his mouth twitched a bit, almost indicating a smile. But he stayed silent, keeping his amusement to himself.

His silence jabbed your mood a bit but you shrugged it off. You had helped him for a few months now, assisting in caring for his beautiful creatures. To you, it felt like years. But your relationship went back even farther. Your first time meeting the shy Newt Scamander was your first year in Hogwarts. You, a muggle-born witch, were still adjusting to the new wizard world upon you. You had just been sorted into your Hogwarts House the day before and walked around the castle, aimlessly, just taking it all in. When you bumped into a Hufflepuff sitting cross-legged on the floor with some small creature in his hands. That’s when you met and forgot again. He was a little too awkward, you were a little too lost. It was just a random encounter and nothing came out of it. You didn’t even know his name back then.

Years later, you saw a certain Erumpent, an indeed breathtaking rhinceros which looked like it had actual lava in his horn, roaming around in Central Park in New York, the location of your Christmas vacation. This was your second encounter. Upon seeing this giant creature galopp through the winterly landscape, you left immediately; only years later you learned that the one and only Newt Scamander was there too. Not only that, he was responsible for it. All of your friends called you insane and laughed your encounter off like it never happened.

You actually met the young Mr Scamander in one of his readings about Magical Creatures in London, he was talking about Thestrals. He described these skinny black horses with skeletal bodies as elegant and gentle, he said they were calm but at the same time so very powerful. How he talked about every creature in the same loving way fascinated you from the beginning.

“But their beauty can only be seen by very view”, he said. He just sat on a small chair in front of a small crowd in a library. Not a lot of people were interested in his liberal views. But you adored him. The way the golden sunlight, broken by the dirty window glass, shined on his left side, the few times he actually looked up from the floor and a passionate smile grew on his face, you couldn’t stop listening. “You see, only those who saw death can see a Thestral. But many mistake this description for its literal definition. To see a Thestral, one needs to-“

You raised your hand. The brown-haired curls looked up. Almost startled by your action, he exclaimed a “yes?”. “One needs to have a deeper understanding of death, rather than just being a witness.” You blushed immediately as the small crowd turned around to look at you. “Right?”, you added shyly. He nodded.

After the reading, Newt stood up immediately, almost fleeing the building. You ran after him. “Uhm, Mr Scamander! Mr Scamander! I, uh...”, you called. He stopped to turn around. “Yes, can I help you?”, he asked politely, his gaze on the ground. He shortly looked up to study your expression. “I know, this must seem...strange. But I just wanted to apologize for interrupting your reading. I’m sorry if that seemed impolite”, you said with a hopeful smile.

“Oh”, he paused. “No, don’t worry. I’m just not... uh, used to people knowing or even caring about Thestrals. Most of them find them rather grim, I believe”, he smiled, looking into your eyes again for a few seconds. His blue eyes shimmered hazel in the afternoon sun. “I must excuse myself. I have to feed the mooncalves, I wish you a nice day”, he nodded and was on the verge on turning around again, you reached out, almost gripping his coat to stop him. “Mr Scamander, if I may, would I be able to help you with that? You don’t have to say yes, I just...I would love to learn more. One can only read so much in books”, you chuckled. He turned to you again, looking shocked again.

“Don’t feel obligated”, you added. “You are most welcome to. I can always use some help. Excuse my hesitation, this has never happened to me before”, he laughed, “if you follow me?”

And that’s how you found yourself visiting Newt Scamanders suitcase every day since then. You were a good team. And once he opened up to you more, joked around every now and then, you felt more comfortable around him as well. But still, there was always this thick wall between you emotionally. Neither one of you shared too many personal memories with each other. You enjoyed each other’s company dearly, you did. But something always kept you from being closer. Even though, from time to time, there were moments where the freckled man could make your heart jump like you’ve never felt before.

“Need help with that?” you asked one day as Newt was brewing a potion to treat the stomach ache of one of the Diricawls. You stood behind him, your hands on his shoulders, so you could look over him on your tip-toes. He turned his head a bit so he could see your face in the corner of his eyes, he blushed. “I’m good”, he said like a whisper. “Ugh, shut up and let me help you”, you scoffed and pulled out your wand. A few circular swings with your wand and the brown-ish fluid in the dark kettle started bubbling softly. “There you go, sweetie”, you said and patted his shoulder blades roughly. “No one is better at potions than you, Y/N”, he grinned slightly as he turned around to face you, his hands on the table behind him. “I know”, you winked at him. He broke the eye contact, his red-brown locks fell into his face, failing to hide his blushing cheeks. There it was again, that feeling. His shyness when you called him sweetie or honey drove you crazy. Officially you might have been completely platonic but his hidden smirks and chuckles made your insides burst.

 And then, one fateful Decembre evening, everything changed.

 “Y/N? You mind doing me a favour? You can say no of course... but... I’d... I’d love to have you there”, he smiled, his eyes darker than usual. You were just finishing up and about to leave but him asking you with this kind expression was a turn of events. “Uh, sure. What do you need me to do?”

Only about twenty minutes later you found yourself standing on the edge of a small lake surrounded by a pine forest at almost midnight. It was a bit chilly even for you, you lifted your shoulders, covering your face in your scarf. “Are you cold?”, Newt asked kneeling on the edge of the water, his wand in his hand, a worrying look on his face. He looked so pale in the blue light. “It’s alright”, you smiled at him. “Mr Scamander, if I may ask, what exactly are we doing here?”, you crossed your arms looking around. The forest was dark and cold, it looked utterly uninviting. Before you, the light blue lake reflected the moonlight and made for a calm atmosphere. It was almost completely silent. Your breath was visible in front of you and in that moment you wished, you had worn a thicker jumper.

“Looking for Kelpies, of course, Ms Y/L/N.”

“Of course”, you scoffed to yourself. Your gaze wandered across the water, it was quite peaceful.

“Couldn’t this wait `til the morning?”, you asked stepping closer to the lake.

“Sadly, no”, he then went on a rant on how this time was very important to get a good look at a Kelpie because they’re the friendliest when the sea is the coldest. You tried to distract yourself from the freezing cold by listening closely. But as you looked over to the other side of the lake, you made out a black creature drinking in the lake. Your eyes widened. A slender four-legged creature with a slim neck. It seemed, as if the creature could sense your staring and its head shot up, looking directly at you. Like a startled deer, you couldn’t look away. It was a Thestral.

“Newt!”, you whispered, keeping your eyes locked on the horse-like creature. “Newt!”, you said again with a bit more intensity. You couldn’t see but he turned around to look at you, saw your mesmerized face and looked into the same direction. “What is it? Did you see something?”, he asked, not moving a muscle. “It’s a... a Thestral, Newt. I can’t believe it. It’s so... beautiful”, you said slowly, still not blinking. The black skeleton moved around a bit, its coat shimmering blue in the night.

“What?”, Newt asked. He slowly stood up. He looked back and forth a few times. “Y/N?”, he said with a soft voice.

“Newt, don’t move! Look at it, it’s majestic”, you said with a wide smile. “Y/N-“, he tried again. “What is it? It’s right over there. Can’t you see it?”, you said with a hushed voice as to not spook the creature.

“No, actually, I can’t... see it”, Newt admitted. As you looked at him for the first time in minutes, you realized, he was a lot closer than you thought. Slowly you realized what this meant. Your smile faded. Newt had a painful expression on his face, covering it up with a weak smile to make you feel better. Of course, only you could see the Thestral. Because only you had witnessed death. Flashes of memories flooded your brain. You looked down brushing your hand through your hair.

“I’m sorry, Y/N”, he said as if he thought this would make it better. For the first time, his eyes never left you. “It was my Mum”, you said huskily, “she uh... passed, twelve years ago.”

Tears started clouding your vision as more and more memories came back again. You witnessed your Mum’s death. But how it happened was so horrible that you could not dare to speak it out loud.

Newt came another step closer and lightly squeezed your arm in comfort. He wanted to make it all ok again. Both of you didn’t say another word. You didn’t need to. For a moment you looked up into his eyes before he hesitantly pulled you into a hug. His arms were wrapped around your waist. Even through several layers of clothes you could feel his warmth against your chest. He smelled like apple pie and cider. Your arms around his neck, he was pulling you close to him, breathing into your shoulder. At that moment, you felt so vulnerable, like you would break any second and his strong grip was the only thing holding you together. He was stronger than you expected. His hands on your back, he pushed you closer to him. And there was nothing you wanted more than to kiss him right in this moment. He had never touched you like that, so intimate and strong.

Slowly his grip loosened, leaving you immediately cold again. Your hands slowly slid down his neck but stayed at his cheeks. You cupped his face looking at his dark blue eyes sparkling. His freckles were almost invisible, varnished with a red colour. His hands stayed at your hips, his thumb lightly brushing over you. You pulled his head down softly and he followed willingly. The amber curls tickled your forehead and you felt a soft hand cupping your cheek. You were only milimetres away from each other, so close, you breathed the same air. The heat was almost unbearable.

“Y/N...”

“Don’t...”, you mumbled. Your foreheads touched lightly. “Y/N, I...”, he began again. You gripped the hair at the back of his head to keep him close. His fingers ran through your hair as his other hand slid up your back. Your lips wanted his. You were breaking under his every touch.

A sudden water splash from the lake ripped you from your moment. Both of you turned to the lake, a dark shimmering creature had risen from the depths of the water. As fast as it appeared, it was gone again. The few water drops you felt, cooled your heated cheeks rather quickly. Newt rushed to the edge of the water, “did you see that?!”, he exclaimed. “Yea”, you gulped, still shook by what just happened. After looking at the water surface for what felt like hours, Newt turned around again looking at you, standing there like a beaten dog. You didn’t dare to say anything. What would you even say? Why didn’t he say anything?

The rest of the night both of you kept pretty much silent. You had never felt this unsure in your life. Normally, Newt was the shy and awkward one but he just turned your world around. The next few days you barely talked, still processing your moment the other night.

Until, you just couldn’t keep it in anymore. Without a warning you blurted out: “Tell me, how you feel about me.”

Newt, who was sorting plants as of right now, turned around with wide eyes. “What...”, he said slowly. “Tell me”, you repeated. “Who am I to you.”

He just stared at you without making a noise for a few moments before looking back at the ground, avoiding your gaze. “What... what do you mean by... by that?”, he stuttered, still looking down.

“Newt, come on. I can’t keep doing this. I can’t... I just can’t keep working here acting like everything’s normal, when it’s not... it’s really not”, you said walking around rubbing your forehead. “What’s wrong?”, he asked innocently. “I’m sorry, that was a stupid question. Is it about your mother? I’m terribly sorry. If there’s anything I can do, just-“

“Stop”, you cut him off sharply. “Please don’t... don’t do that.”

“Do what?”, he asked, obviously confused now.

“Being all cute and innocent and nice and... and just... you”, you replied and looked up at him.

“What’s wrong? I don’t...”, he stammered trying to read you.

“Who am I to you”, you asked again standing right in front of him.

He didn’t reply. He just stared holes in the floor again. Your hands softly found his cheeks and you pushed his gaze up to look at you. His eyes struggled to look at you. But when his found yours, there was it again, the magic, the flicker, the nervous tingling feeling in your stomach. “Tell me”, you whispered. “Say something”, you said, followed by an endless feeling pause.

“You’re funny”, he whispered. You held your breath for a moment.

“And you’re smart... so clever.” You started grinning.

“You make me smile, you’re so good and full of light.” You rubbed your thumb over his cheek.

“You brew the best potions, better than anyone I’ve ever seen. And you’re just...”, he paused.

“You’re just so very beautiful.”

You let out a happy giggle, your hands sliding to his neck and gently twirling his locks with your finger. He couldn’t look into your eyes but you could see that he liked it.

“Your nose is very symmetric and you have a nice chin”, he added, raising his gaze and looking at you with those hazel puppy eyes. You started laughing.

“What?”, he shyed away. “I’m sorry. That was inappropriate. I shouldn’t have said that... I understand if you want to leave”, he said.

“Don’t you dare think that for one second, Mr Scamander”, you said with a wide grin. That’s when you pulled him closer and finally kissed him. Your lips met and Newt closed the gap between your bodies. He pushed himself against you. “That’s all I wanted to hear”, you pulled away for a brief moment, only to deepen the kiss quickly after saying that. You never wanted to let him go again.

Thank you so much for reading! <3

Rhino/Grasshopper: Was thinking of making a building but then got distracted by trying to make a Rectangular pipe (which I also figured out) but got distracted by trying to just pipe a steel I-column/beam. It works from the centroid too which is pretty cool, I can change the Web Depth and thickness as well as Flange Height and Width with slider controllers. Its all parametric so it’ll happen to all of them. Struggled to get it to work on multiple curves because it was grafting weird but it works now. In the first pic the red circled is just the multiple curves input which feeds the starting point into my cluster with the controllers coming out. The sweep and cap isn’t included in the cluster (like the point finder) because I thought of other uses for it)

The second image is my secrets within the cluster that I made. Working on optimizing and fixes. Third pic is just a divided curved with points moved up and lined together to create the curves.
