It's nothing spectacular, but here's a tool for Astrologian roleplayers I made for fun after the lore book revealed that there are canon major arcana spreads (ala real life tarot).

Right now it's more functional than anything, but I do intend to add a fanon spread or two and lore. Maybe more if time and energy allow.

Astrologian Fortune Telling

I don't mind comments or feedback but do keep in mind that this was just for fun and I don't ever intend to treat it at the same level as my professional work.

Neat! Once I get my copy of the lore book, I can see some fun RP possibilities here. Smile

v1.1 update

Astrologian Fortune Telling
  • spreads now display associated lore
  • Kurenai Nagi's fanon spread has been added


I would like to add the minor arcana at some point, but any spread using them would indeed be fanon, and as there is no card art to source it would be quite the undertaking.

Anyway, I'll tinker with this again when I have more time

This is cute. Do you have it set up so they may appear upside down?

Quote:As each of the cards represents two gods (one of astral polarity, one of umbral), two different meanings can be gleaned from the arcana depending on the direction they face when turned. In their proper, upright position, they take the astral interpretation; when inverted, they take the umbral.

Check the "reversals" checkbox, some of the cards will be flipped. Upright is astral, inverted is umbral.

Do you have any info on where one might find the meanings tied to the cards? I would be neat to use this in rp and give readings. Sorry if that is a duh question but I just started looking into AST lore. Smile

You're looking for Encyclopedia Eorzea, page 244. I'm sure someone has a scan of that somewhere. Smile

EDIT: Interesting easily missed tidbit on that page: the Deck of Sixty has appeared in every Astral Era. It's what L'yhta would term "deep magic" -- something that has grand significance magickally and represents a principle woven into the fabric of reality.
