Where do you stand in the zodiac?

[Necro Mortis]

I stole this a bit from the 'What animal represents you' thread but that's only because I didn't want to bog it down with something slightly off topic.

What is your true animal, as ordained by mythology and astrology? I like this because it allows some creative licence and you can get some pretty cool sounding results.

What you need to do is look for your animal and element in the Chinese zodiac. You can do that here. (http://www.tuvy.com/entertainment/chinese_horoscope.ht m)

For me that is an Earth Dragon

Then look up your sign and element in the western zodiac as well here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology_and_the_cl assical_elements#.E5 .9C.9F_Earth)

For me that's Gemini which is Air.

So, what have I got to play with? Earth, Dragon, Twins, Air.

Twist 'em around a bit and you find out what I am:

The Twin Dragons Of Earth And Air!

I thought people could try out their own and get some pretty cool or funny sounding results like if you for example (This is random) get say:
Metal, Dog, Pisces and Water you could say you're a Steel Wolf or an Iron Shark or even a Golden Shower. You don't have to use both signs from the Chinese and Western zodiac but try it.

Give it a go guys, you might be surprised at what you, or others, think up for you.

[Raphahel]

Weel i am the fire tiger in chineese,by the wester zodiac i am piscis,i guess it mixing them would give somethin like a Blazing water tigerfish! XD
Really if you have a better ideia tell me!lol

[Necro Mortis]

Lmao, now that really does sound like something out of an anime.

I think some of the humorous ones are better than the cool sounding ones.

So you got Fire, Tiger, Water, Fish

That's actually quite tricky! Howsabout a Tigershark? They're pretty neat. Then again you could always be the Soggy Moggy also know as the wet cat or the char-grilled fish known as barbeque tuna steak.

I notice that one of your western zodiac colours is Silver. Why not be the Silver Tiger?

[NeonLightChild]

Wood rat, Libra, Air.

Dear lord I don't even know where to start.

[Necro Mortis]

Wood, rat, Libra, air, eh?

Rat with wind? Wooden scales? Naked mole rat of the forest?

Bare with me here. I will find something.
If you combine air with rat you get a a flying rat, so that makes a bat. Libra was associated with the greek goddess of justice so now we have:

Neon Light Child! The Vampire Bat of Justice! Saving the day at night! Drinking the blood of the evil to save the good, armed with... Wood!

[NeonLightChild]

Neon Light Child! The Vampire Bat of Justice! Saving the day at night! Drinking the blood of the evil to save the good, armed with... Wood!

I could live with that. Good thinking, making the rat into the bat...all I can think of is the rat that I was just working with in the Skinner box! Your imagination must be running wild today or something like that. Mine is pretty nonexistent today (or at least out to lunch) and that's putting it lightly.

Ohhh, revelation: if I'm a Vampire Bat of Justice and wood is my power-weapon, then that means I am the only vampire out there immune to it! No stakes through the heart for me! :droolbloo

It is rather! And yes, immune to those damn vampire hunters!

Thanks.

Lion of fire with a pee monkey mascot... ? Somehow this reminds me of something I watched on TV, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

[Necro Mortis]

I pictured a kind of centaur that was half man half bull with flaming arrows.

Or possibly prairie oyster on an arrow (Shish-kebab style)

[Tempest]

Virgo, Earth, Dragon, Earth (aww boring)

Synonym for Earth is rock, which is slang for cocaine.

Virgin Cocaine Dragon!

Could also add the Bear, my animal from the Native American astrology (http://www.brownielocks.com/NativeAmericanHorosc ope.html)

Virgin Cocaine Dragon-Bear!

[Cheater388]

Metal Lamb, Capricorn Earth.

Metal Gear Lamb: Tactical Bahh-ing Action

... It's weird that you were born at a certain time of year because you hate felions?
Nice try but this in NO way fit in with what I asked of people. Try again.

[---Arawn---]

Fire leo, Fire rabbit

I'm on fire! :P
Hmm... Barbecue...

You are clearly a Libbit.

--------------------------
Combining that with fire, lion, water, and monkey that now makes me a... fresh/salt-water lion-fish that likes spicy hot sea-monkeys!

*Oh hell no, I won't do such a god damn thing! I like being indifferent (especially compared to those I live around), and that's just the way I'm staying.

[UNODRAGONE]

I got earth lamb and fire if I did that right which makes me.....
A round lamb on fire!!! No? how about a grass eating four legged fireball! Cool site :) I like the native american one as well it says I am an owl :)

[Necro Mortis]

Well, because I care I looked up your Western sign. So, saggitarius! You have that and lamb and fire twice.

You know Saggitarius was not only based on an archer but a mystic. So you are...

Unodragone! The mystic fire lamb!

[Pickle Tickler]

As previously mentioned, I am a water element twice over, a Water Monkey and a Pisces. The animal in the Chinese zodiac symbolizing water is the Black Tortoise.

So I would be like a Hydratic Reptillian Monkey Fish. Or like the Japanese kappa.

[Necro Mortis]

very good. That's what I like to see, using your imagination.

A Kappa

[Rele WT]

Taurus is an Earth sign, and I'm a water monkey, so would that make me a manatee or something? Sea cow? Eew.

[Necro Mortis]

Taurus is an Earth sign, and I'm a water monkey, so would that make me a manatee or something? Sea cow? Eew.

Again, I am going to be very creative with this one.

Right first, Taurus is the bull right? If you remember your greek mythology or cryptozoology then you'll know of the minotaur. A half man half bull monster. Real cool looking and incredibly strong. Used to feast on human flesh.

Imagine, if you will, a half bull half monkey creature. You have the size and ferrocity of a minotaur coupled with the agility of a simian creature. Now armed with the element of earth you have....

The Dreaded Simitaur with the Mighty Axe Of Earthsplitting!

http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/titan-quest/images/creatures/minotaur.gif

Picture is obviously minus axe :D

[Pickle Tickler]

I <3 this thread. It's useful for making fantasy creatures.

[William Redtail]

I have earth, snake, Leo, and fire. Leo is a lion which can symbolize majesty and the snake can symbolize guardianship so I'm a majestic blazing guardian of the earth. I also came up with venomous burning earth lion how I came up with that should be obvious. Finally if you combine earth and fire you get lava which comes from a volcano. Lion is also a symbol of kingly might so I could also be a volcanic snake king.

[Rele WT]

That reminds me of Louis XIV(that's 14 right?) I believe it was who was called the Sun King because he usedthe sun as his symbol, implying that the world revolved around him. Grar, get this school stuff out of my brain (besides when the test comes up, them put it all in my brain)...

The Dreaded Simitaur with the Mighty Axe Of Earthsplitting!
Hmm, well it doesn't have much of a ring to it, but it works. But there's nowater in there, so how about

The Dreaded Sea Simitaur with the Mighty Axe Of Earthsplitting

I so totally rock. I kid. Unless I'm not joking, what then? Hmmmm? Eh, I've been going strange(er) lately, sorry. :D

And yes, I did notice ;)

Scorpion of water, snake of earth...

Awww man, I looked up Scorpio on wiki and it says my sign deals with sex and passion, and being a snake doesn't help!! I'm perverted!

Whaa!!

[ThrasherCub]

Where do you stand in the zodiac?
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/ThrasherCub/43846099.gif

That's where I stand in the Western Zodiac. :cool:

Eastern Zodiac I'm born year of the Tiger, set on the cycle such that it is of the element Fire.

I'm a rather fiery person.

[William Redtail]

They are called astrological birth charts. Basically they are a more complex and unique version of your zodiac. It shows where everything was at the time of your birth. My mom did one for everyone in the family when I was like 9 or so.

[ThrasherCub]

Basically they are a more complex and unique version of your zodiac.

No, it is the correct version. While the sun sign (the sign) is indeed the most major one, alone it's like having the frame and the wheels of a car and trying to call it the entire car.

The sun sign is a good place to start, but the other signs all add, change, and take away from it, and for many people the combinations of the other signs gives them a reading that is entirely different than what their sun sign alone says.

And how do you read an astrological birth chart? I would really like to know; it seems very intriguing.

[ThrasherCub]

It's best just to get a book on it. Basically every sign has attributes, and every planet has attributes, and the combination thereof is how you read it.

For example; Venus for the most part relates to how you are emotionally. I have Venus in Aries, and Aries is a very dominant and active sign. This means that I'm much more likely go out and find a date rather than sit and wait for one to just show up, and that I won't be submissive (though not necessarily bossy or mean). Aquarius is a very easy-going fun-loving sort of sign, so people with Venus in Aquarius are usually outgoing with lots of friends (and usually some really weird friends). Sometimes people with that combination have trouble being in a long-term relationship because it is in their nature of be open and connected with everyone and having one person taking the spot light can be kind of weird.

[Pickle Tickler]

Pisces tend to be more emotional and draw power from their emotions. They also are said to have many of the attributes from all of the other members of the zodiac. We are more lazy sometimes, but innovative and caring.

[DarkHunter]

Western Zodiac, I'm a Taurus (an APRIL Taurus, not any of you crazy May ones), which for you kids who don't know, is represented by the Earth Element. So its not that big of a surprise when the Chinese Zodiac puts me as Earth also.

But of course, I am Year of the Snake.

[Rainstorm]

Earth, Horse, Earth, Virgin.....
Damn...that's both boring and depressing.
Sounds like a dirty nag that gets no action. LOL.
Damn, I just burned myself.
Spice it up Necro! ;)

[ThrasherCub]

Virginal earth-horses are the coolest, most awesome animals ever.

Your request is my pleasure.
Virgo constellation depicts Astraea who supposedly ruled the world with her wise ways until mankind became so callous that she returned to the skies. A flying horse is pretty nifty, I'd say. Your metal is Quicksilver or Mercury which is pretty neat. And so this makes your animal...

The gentle yet powerful winged mare of judgement. When you gallop across the night sky you leave a trail of silver dust which hangs in the air like the stars from whence you came and, when man finally destroys itself, will return to become a constellation and live forever in the heavens.

If I have missed anyone out who wants me to have a stab at theirs, give me a shout.

My pleasure, hunny.

[Necro Mortis]

Alright, this one’s for Hitodama who is a Scorpio which is a water element and an earth snake.
I did think about using the scorpion but then I had this idea. One of the colours for Scorpio is Black and it’s metal is steel or iron. And did you know that the Scorpio constellation is associated with the scorpion that killed Orion? If you mix the water and the snake you get the Leviathan and if you combine this with the previous you get….

The Leviathan of black steel. 300 miles long with devastating power, this serpent of the deep can cause tsunamis with a swing of it’s mighty tail and has killed millions, including a god.

As "tween girl" as this whole thing seems, me next Necro!

[Pickle Tickler]

Alright Necro. Maybe you could do the same for me, and you already know that I'm a Pisces and a Water Monkey. Use those creative juices of yours.

[Rylias Shadow]

Earth, Dragon, Water, Cancer

The Crabby Dragon of Water and Earth, lol:D

Or something like that.

[Necro Mortis]

Hmm, it’s getting tough to not repeat myself (Why can’t you guys have different signs!?) but I think I can do this one for Dark Hunter.

You’re a Taurus. The Taurus is associated with a whole bunch of gods (Which is handy for me) so I thought I would use the association with the god Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec weather god. The name is a combination of quetzal, a brightly colored Mesoamerican bird, and coatl, meaning serpent. See how it fits in nicely with your snake sign too? Quetzalcoatl is often referred to as The Feathered Serpent God and the lord of the star of the dawn as he is associated with Venus, the morning star. Also, your birthstone is diamond. I’m sure I can work with that, especially since one of your characteristics is protective.

It seems only right that you are Uktora, the diamond horned serpent that guards the gates to the underworld. Being a god in your own right you have control over the weather and use it to your advantage using the wind to usher in the souls of the dead and turning back those that try to intrude with driving rain, snow and lighting, preventing the gates ever being breached. The breath of the Uktora is so pestilential, that no living creature can survive should they inhale the tiniest bit of it.

As an extra twist, the name is taken from the actual Cherokee monster called the Uktena which is said to have guarded the underworld and have poisonous breath.

Well, I'll try and whip something up for you.

Cancer! Duck!
Well, crab. Let's have a look-see... Your metal is Silver and your sign represents shelled animals. You are also a dragon and are a water sign. I found something from true mythology that fits in really quite well.

Your creature is The Dragon Turtle. This is a powerful creature that symbolises wealth, health, prosperity and protection. Legend has it that the turtle has within his body the secret of heaven and earth and the design of his shell shows the magic square, which is the guide for life. This creature is the combination of two of the four celestial animals in Chinese mythology.
