In Skyrim, birthsigns are not present, instead they are replaced by two different gameplay systems:
*Thirteen Standing Stones to chose from, which affect the character's abilities or confer unique powers. Only one stone can be active at a time (without the Aetherial Crown). Unlike Morrowind, and similarly to Oblivion's Doomstones, the Hero can choose a different Standing Stone blessing at any time.
*Perks, birthsigns appear in the user interface to represent the 18 different skill trees available to the character, and the individual stars of the birth sign represent the various perks available for each skill. Details concerning each sign can be read in The Firmament.
