(Forgive me if someone has said this before and I missed it.)
Since there have been hints that we will be able to choose a birthday or 'nameday' for our characters, and that it might possibly influence statistics, I got to thinking about the Eorzean zodiac.
When information was released about the Twelve, and each was given a different moon, this kind of clicked into place for me.
Like the Zodiac signs, it is my assumption that each of the Twelve will rule over a zodiacal sign as well. It makes sense, since their moons all go in an elemental pattern:
Azeyma - First Moon - Fire
Nophica - Second Moon - Earth
Thaliak - Third Moon - Water
Llymlaen - Fourth Moon - Wind
Halone - Fifth Moon - Ice
Byregot - Sixth Moon - Lightning
Nald'thal - Seventh Moon - Fire
Althyk - Eighth Moon - Earth
Nymeia - Ninth Moon - Water
Oschon - Tenth Moon - Wind
Menphina - Eleventh Moon - Ice
Rhalgr - Twelfth Moon - Lightning
I think this might give us an insight into a little bit about our characters' horoscopes, should we wish to play around with that, especially given the specialties of each of the Twelve. For example, it might be fortuitous for a seamstress to be born in the ninth moon of the year, given that Nymeia is a weaver.
It also may mean that we are assigned a certain element depending when in the year our character is born. Like, if you were born in the twelfth month, you might have good defense against lightning.
Please note that this is all conjecture.
