Caeli Astrology

Many races have their own beliefs concerning the stars, their constellations, and their meanings. The **Caeli** by virtue of their affinity attach an especial importance to them, even if their many faiths do so in wildly different ways.

## Birthsign Index

A sign is obscured by the sun during its month. Signs close to it might be hard to view during to the day, but more than a month away might be visible during dusk or dawn in the winter and more than two away always is. The sun moves in the same direction every day as it does throughout the year, so the signs that will come soon lie close ahead in the path of the sun.

The Calendar starts in Spring with the Spring Equinox.

## Celestial Spheres

We count one sun, one moon, six planets and many stars. Some Caeli in their desire to literally ascend to higher planes of being might follow a geocentric model, but this is considered a particularity of certain sects, as the majority opinion (especially among Solar Caeli) is that the planets revolve around the sun. Using such a heliocentric model, this would be the the planets in the order of distance from the sun:
