Spirit in Aquarius— Zodiacal Releasing Periods at Levels 3 and 4

🪄 My Fortune falls in a fixed sign, meaning that the cardinal periods are the beginning of a peak period of growth/change in regards to my career

🪄Mutable signs are the ending—> Levels 1 and 2 (not shown) are in mutable signs

👹I have noticed that bad things happen for me when Level 4 is in Aries (also when in Aquarius)

💀This makes sense because the planet most capable of doing harm in my chart falls in a cardinal sign

☠️The planet most capable of doing good also falls in a cardinal sign

🪄So, for me, really bad things happen then simultaneously really good things come out of it rather quickly

🪄I’ve noticed that (releasing from Spirit): Aqua, Cap and Aries are all fairly negative

📚If you want to check yours out, go to astro.com then select the Hellenistic type in second drop-down menu

🌑Look at your chart: is the Sun in houses 1-6? Then you have a night chart. The modality that Saturn is in will signify challenging periods in regards to the laws of zodiacal releasing. The modality Venus is in will signify better times.

☀️Is your Sun in houses 7-12? Then you have a day chart. The modality Mars is in will signify the challenging times during releasing periods, and the modality Jupiter is in will signify better times.

🔬If your Sun is in houses 1 or 7, look at your Ascendant degree: if the Sun falls below it, you likely have a night chart. If it falls above, it is likely a day chart. Consider where you were born and whether the sun was likely up or down during that time of year.

📝Now you can scroll to the bottom and you will see the zodiacal releasing periods. Automatically it releases from Fortune so click on Spirit to release from there. This tells of career.

📓 You can test it by looking at when really good or bad things happened in your life; see what signs were there. This can better prepare you for what to expect, or to serve as a pick-me-up to know when things might get better.

Lucy’s childhood ⭐️ +The Heartfilia’s 🩷

Just wanted to draw Lucy with the celestial spirits she’s had since she was (presumably) a kid. I think aside from the staff her celestial spirits were her family. I believe they went out of their way to take care of her sometimes ^^.

And as a bonus just Layla and Jude because I didn’t want Layla and Lucy to look identical to each other. 🙌

Here’s Aquarius!!!

She changed like, just barely. To be honest I don’t have much of a problem with her og design so this is mostly just personal preference. The vase is totally oc tho :->)

Im aware that Aquarius is an air sign but having the water bearer not use water feels silly to me. And to be honest I like the mermaid idea personally.

I feel like I would love Fairy Tail even more if it focused more on the celestial spirits and heavenly body magic

We focus a lot on all aspects about dragons and dragon slayers, but the stars are constantly important to the plot and the answer to many things. Being a celestial spirit is also really OP cause you can't die, not even if your key is broken, only if you turn human by breaking the laws

There's so much more I want to see, more stardresses in action, the silver keys, acquiring more silver keys, learn more about the spirits and what their previous life with other masters were like,their customs and dynamics, and more of all the lost magics of celestial users (because urano metria can't be the only one)

Honestly, if Fairy Tail started focusing more about Celestial Magic I would love it, and i know a lot of watchers would too

Happy Monday. I am a little bummed out about the community and lack of engagement. I felt like with the announcement of A3 and concept art we’d all be buzzing and talking. But it’s the complete opposite? I guess people really have just abandoned the fandom. Like are people even reading my work anymore? Should I post my new masterlist? There’s no community.

[eebibly]

I don’t reaaaally like the stardresses

But not for the same reason I’ve seen others dislike them? The biggest argument I see against Lucy’s stardresses is that it’s too much like Erza’s requip. I don’t disagree with that specifically. The thing is, in a roundabout way, I would argue that the issue with Lucy’s dresses is actually more of a reflection of the issue with Erza’s power (which I may or may not make a post about). What I mean is, if Erza’s magic was better developed, Lucy’s magic would seem more original.

Much like almost every other magic in this lazy-ass written universe, I don’t like the ‘rules’ (or lack thereof) for summoning them. The power scaling in FT is infamously terrible, so I’m basically preaching to the choir, but brain rot takes over my typey fingees sometimes.

So I’ve been reading the manga because the anime recently upset me, therefore I’d now rather quickly read through FT: 100YQ than invest a lot of emotional energy in an adaptation that really slows the pacing of its printed counterpart. That being said:

Part 1: Aquarius

First of all, I don’t agree with the fact that Lucy can still use Aquarius’s stardress. I understand that it was gifted to her by the Celestial King during Tartaros, but that only should have lasted as long as that war. I think it undermines Aquarius’s sacrifice and I also believe it would have benefited Lucy and her goals as a character for 100YQ. Giving Lucy Aquarius’s stardress could have represented the end of an era but the start of a new one. And it does, ostensibly. Aquarius is basically Lucy’s first spirit, someone who has both a strong connection with Lucy and with her mother. It’s a difficult bond to break, but a testament to Lucy letting go of a piece of her past to protect her present bonds. As a reward for such a sacrifice, the Celestial King gives her one last chance to fight for her future with an old friend’s power. It’s a beautiful moment that acts as closure for Aquarius’s “loss”, but also a hint at the new possibilities for Lucy’s new abilities. And that’s all it needed to be.

However, despite the fact that her contract with Aquarius is, for that time being, null and void, Lucy now overuses ‘Aqua Metria’ at every turn instead of bothering to actually summon the spirits with whom she currently has contracts (and seriously, is there no reason she can’t use Regulus Impact? I feel like it accomplishes the same… impact). This paragraph is just me venting, I find it quite annoying… Not to mention that not having the dress until she gets the key back could be something else to look forward to! Also Aquarius’s dress is probably my least favourite… so boring and just another excuse for Mashima to draw as little clothes on Lucy as often as possible.

Part 2: Borrowed power

Or at least, I feel that her stardresses should be considered borrowing a part of her spirits’ powers. Celestial magic is unique in that the wizard doesn’t just need to understand the mechanics of it, or how the magic flows within oneself. It also requires an extra level of bond and trust for it to function at its fullest. It’s actually a really beautiful power, one that I really admire. Which is why I’m so sad that it’s so misrepresented by its own creator. This is my opinion, but considering that summoning spirits is the main facet of her magic, I strongly feel that summoning a stardress should cost more power than opening a gate as well as be less powerful than the spirit whose dress it belongs to. That way, it’s still more worth it to summon the spirit, but is also a testament to the wizard’s magic power and their bond with their spirit since they are willing to expend even more power just to be able to fight alongside them. Not only that, but it feels to me like the dresses should be the spirits sharing their power with Lucy. However, it feels more like Lucy is summoning an entirely different entity that scales purely on her own magic power. Doesn’t that make her spirits obsolete? She barely ever summons them anymore because it seems that choosing to summon a stardress and skipping the spirit is not only more cost effective, but also makes her combat more efficient. If she fights better by herself than with her spirits, why even have spirits?

Considering how poorly written the spirits are, I’d almost argue that the stardresses, and only the stardresses, should’ve been Lucy’s power from the start. If you can’t do it right, then don’t do it at all.

On that topic:

Part 3: Is he bored of them?

I’m genuinely wondering if Mashima grew tired of his own concept. And by that I mean, the spirits specifically. Because he clearly loves the moral behind them. You love and respect them even if they’re not human. A moral developed really well, at least as far as I’ve seen in the anime, in Edens Zero. I won’t spoil it because this is a post about Fairy Tail, but I really like how that moral is done in that story. But he made 2 major mistakes in Fairy Tail. 1) Celestial wizards are rare. How can you fight for a cause if there is no cause to fight for? He tries to make up for this by Lucy starting to connect with other characters in the way the other protagonists just can’t, like Eclair from Phoenix Priestess and Athena from 100YQ. Great, point for Lucy’s character, really well done. Why can’t she extend that to her spirits on-screen? 2) he seems to have decided that because the spirits aren’t human, they must be one-note?? And only one spirit can have depth at a time. When he needed Aquarius to matter, Loke devolved into the thats-my-wife-guy. Meanwhile Aquarius evolved from raging PMS b*tch to ‘well maybe I do love Lucy after all -3-’.

He has written so so so many characters into his canon, but the celestial spirits, nooo that’s too much to keep track of. Despite how much he hammers home that they matter as much as everybody else. Worst of all, most of the time that they’re summoned, Lucy just seems annoyed or disturbed. So which is it???

Part 4: Help

I wish I could let go, someone help.

If you got this far, thanks for reading ✌️

WHAT PLUTO ENTERING AQUARIUS MEANS FOR US

[ohtobearandomftblog]

bouncing off of this hc a little bit.

the ophiuchus isn't a 'thirteenth gate', it is a black key. one of twelve, all of whom are older than the current iterations of the golden zodiacs. because they were the golden zodiacs.

to start near the beginning: zeref and anna didn't create the eclipse gate. they found uncompleted schematics for it and finished it. its first creation was thousands of years earlier. it was the turning point in time, causing a distinction of 'before' and 'after'. 'before' being 000x, with 'after' being x000.

the twelve golden zodiacs and their masters were the ones spearheading the creation of the gate, but there were plenty of silver keys that had helped in secret. they wanted to go back in time and stop a particularly devastating war from wiping out too many humans.

all was fine, with the celestial spirit king either none the wiser or purposefully turning a blind eye--no one could tell. until they needed to activate the gate. that was the main part of the schematics that were missing, and anna heartfilia learned that all twelve of the golden gate keys could sustain it without any sacrifice.

that was not known in 000x.

ophiuchus was known at the time as 'pisces'. a daughter and her father, for every iteration of pisces has to be a duo of some sort.

the daughter sacrificed her unwilling father to open the gate. two became one.

the only reason she is called anything other than 'the disgraced pisces' is because yukino agria has the current pisces key. and it is... not quite forbidden for the current zodiacs to interact with the black keys, but it's certainly not looked upon highly.

aquarius sacrificed his and his master's weapon and the plans to make more. one that was a fusion of celestial steel and mortal iron. a harmony between the two realms, destroyed forever.

taurus spilt the blood of his master's lover despite multiple orders not to. there was no compulsion to follow the order. no magic binding his will to his master's. now there is.

sagittarius threw his horse into the spell. two became one, once again.

gemi and mini split themselves in half and sewed one half of their bodies together, using the other halfs as their sacrifice. they shared one head, fused two halves of a brain into one, and only had two arms and two legs. they kept one heart for themselves.

cancer and her master had built the gate in their estate, purposefully drawing the magic circles big enough to swallow the grounds whole. a family house, cut out of existence.

virgo dressed her masters up in the prettiest of celestial clothing. she fed them well and with ingredients gathered from the celestial realm. they drank from the milky-way and feasted upon the stars. and she tied them up like hogs and left them within the consumption circles.

aries took the prized statue he made for the spirit king and ripped it from their realm, letting it break and shatter across the marked circle.

scorpio made a deal with his new master, one that came about after the gate began construction. an elderly widower ill with heartbreak. if he helped with the creation of the gate, scorpio would ensure that he meets his husband in the afterlife. a promise he was unable to keep, for the gate took hold of everything given to it and did not let go.

capricorn gave up his own body. he transferred his consciousness to a goat and used his magic to mold it into a humanoid shape.

libra gave up everything that was hers. her home in the realms, her magic, her symbol. she became little more than dust until her master helped her succeed at gravity magic.

leo had no master. he had no home in the realms, no art that he mastered, nothing in particular that he could give up. except for the one that gave him this freedom. his human wife. and their daughter. and their granddaughter. he wasn't able to use the granddaughter in the sacrifice--his daughter had a vision mere days before the gate was finished and sent her daughter to an orphanage.

the gate didn't work. it took and it took and it took, but it did not rewind time. the celestial spirit king, who saw all that was fed to this faulty device, knew he had to do something.

he banished all twelve of the golden zodiacs from the celestial spirit realm. this was long before he knew how to bar them from the stars, however, so the most he could do was rip them from their constellations and keys and place them within a new part of the sky. place them within darkened keys that had another part to them--a magical and mechanical piece that had to be near the keys in order for a summoning to work.

for pisces, it was a flower that the father gave to the daughter before they were golden. the very one that rests within yukino agria's hair, that changes color and is never destroyed.

despite the many millennia that separates them, the current iterations of the golden zodiacs can still remember parts of their first lives. not the contexts, not the reasonings, not the minutiae of it all. just little snippets.

loke wasn't as surprised as he should've been when karen died. he's always had the resolve to kill his masters, after all. he's just thankful that he feels remorse for it this time. he's grown since that first life, with his heart and his little philea's blood on his hands, a distant and cold sense of triumph barely remembered.

Just My Thoughts Pt. 2

Yukino & Star Dresses

Disclaimer: This is not a Yukino hate post. This is solely my opinion

I don’t think Yukino should have Star Dresses in 100 YQ

Lucy earned hers with a lot of hard work and sacrifice. I’m not saying Yukino didn’t work hard or anything but it is nothing compared to Lucy

Lucy sacrificed Aquarius to save literally everything and everyone. She was granted the first Star Dress (Aquarius) for her dedication and sacrifice from the Celestial Spirit King (who calls her his “old friend” and clearly has some admiration for her relationship with her spirits).

Aquarius was one of Lucy original golden keys. She was there during the hardships she faced with Jude after Layla’s death. She made Lucy feel less alone and loved!! Despite everything Aquarius says, she loves her like a child and gave her the opportunity to summon the King to save her guildmates. She knows that Lucy will be more alone and suffer if she didn’t make that choice. Ifeel like that deep connection demonstrates what Lucy is capable of.

I feel like Yukino having Star Dress severely down plays Lucy and her strength as a mage. Lucy deserved her powers beyond what she is shown for. Yukino has a good reputation and relationship as a celestial mage however Lucy considers her spirits as friends and worked hard so she doesn’t have to be put in a position where she needs to sacrifice them again.

I’m glad to see the two remaining Star Dresses but I feel like Yukino should’ve had some kind of test or situation where she needed to tap into that power like Lucy
