The Signs As Aliens

cometaesthetic:

Aries: Strong, fierce aliens with skin in various shades of red. They live on a desert planet in large adobe castles with their extended family clan. Known to be very protective, these aliens often battle other clans who threaten the safety of their families and are skilled warriors. However, they are very generous and family oriented during times of peace

Taurus: Small, entrancing aliens with flowing green hair and camouflaged bodies to blend into their thickly forested planet. Animal life is abundant and diverse, with many strange species that these aliens have tamed and live alongside as equals. These aliens are gifted with the ability to communicate with all types of life on their planet, flora and fauna

Gemini: Clever, winged aliens with small bodies that adapt easily to the many climates of their planet. Instead of four seasons, these aliens are accustomed to twelve and live in treetops or on mountainsides. Visitors find this species of alien to be tricky but kind-spirited, often telling riddles and playing pranks on any other species of extraterrestrials passing through their planet

Cancer: Kind, quiet aliens who live in large communities scattered across their planet, which is covered in pink vines and blue clouds that rain a sweet smelling substance similar to water but does not make the surface of the planet wet almost constantly. Small and delicate in stature, these aliens are tougher than they look and often go on dangerous missions throughout the galaxy to deliver care packages to planets in need

Leo: Regal aliens with banded gold and pale pink skin and wide, bright green eyes. They live on a warm, sunny planet covered in white sand, palm trees, and cool, crystal-clear streams. Proud and sophisticated, these aliens live in jewel-studded palaces and welcome visitors to their planet. But be warned – enemies of these aliens face certain death at the jaws of vicious, huge feline creatures that roam the planet and only obey the command of native aliens

Virgo: These aliens have deep purplish skin and dark, shimmering hair. They live on a planet with a mild climate and a permanent state of nighttime, which has led them to become gifted astronomers. Not only do they map stars and constellations visible from their home planet, these aliens also send search parties to other planets to investigate and map every area they can possibly explore. They are also known for their great architectural feats. Quiet and private, these aliens only communicate telepathically

Libra: Elegant aliens with lavender skin and silver hair laced with pearls. Though small, their planet is covered in blue grass and beautiful, roofless marble structures so the sky, which remains clear and starry even in the daytime, is always visible. Known for making a pink beverage similar to wine, these aliens are accepting of most extraterrestrial visitors and very sociable

Scorpio: Reptilian aliens with iridescent red, dark blue, or black scales. They live mostly underwater on a planet that is entirely ocean except for chains of lava rock islands created by active volcanoes. Known to be very mysterious, these aliens rarely make contact with extraterrestrials from other planets and seem to communicate in a way that is impossible for any other alien species to decode

Sagittarius: Daring and adventurous, these aliens come in all shapes, colors, and sizes and rarely stay on one planet for long and instead prefer to venture in groups from one planet to another. They are usually welcomed by other alien species, but sometimes find that trouble has a way of following them wherever they go and end up banished. Because of their fearless nature, banishment does not stop these aliens from returning to some planets which gives them a reputation as outlaws

Capricorn: Tall, steely gray aliens with stunning dark eyes. They live on a completely frozen planet that is always covered in snow, but beneath the snowy surface they built a warm network of bright tunnels and grand rooms with high, decorated ceilings. Although private by nature, these aliens have close relationships with family and friends within their underground community. With their sharp intellect, they have formed one of the most technologically advanced alien societies in the universe

Aquarius: Pale blue or green aliens who wander tirelessly across their planet covered in tall orange grass and stormy lakes filled with strange aquatic creatures. Generally loners, they are never spotted in groups larger than three or four but are very devoted to their companions if they have any. These aliens are skilled magicians and most species of extraterrestrials are wary of venturing to their planet because of their strange powers

Pisces: Silver and sky blue aliens with sleek, shimmering bodies. They live on a planet that is entirely covered with a steaming liquid similar to water, but the steam condenses into a layer of purplish, cloud-like fluff that only this species of alien can live on. They speak in a musical tongue and are known to be extraordinary fortune tellers and clairvoyants

How the signs communicate

Look at your mercury sign.

Aries: You’re loud. This doesn’t necessarily relate to volume but more in the sense that you like to be heard. You have opinions and you’re not afraid to express them (and also shove them down people’s throats). Straightforward and honest, you can be relied on to cut the bullshit. You love to make people laugh and are good at keeping things light and fun. Swear words are often used and you don’t shy away from dirty jokes either.

Taurus: You’re sensual. Your environment greatly influences the way you view things. Smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste are what you rely on to evaluate a situation. You can be stubborn (infuriatingly so) and take your time when making decisions. You think before you speak and are a great listener. When telling a story, you make sure to mention every detail you deem necessary and have the patience to tell it right.

Gemini: You’re erratic. Not in a scary way (usually) you just can’t seem to stick to one thought. You have a short attention span because your mind works 24/7. This causes you to get easily distracted and lose your train of thought. Gossiping is something you enjoy but not in a malicious way, more in a way to pass the time. Telling stories turns into a world of your creation as you enjoy exaggerating for comedic effect. You are interested in a wide variety of topics but prefer not to delve in too deep.

Cancer: You’re delicate. The way you talk is soft and nice on the ears. Even when you’re not in the best mood, you’re able to convey your words smoothly. Because of how refined your emotional intelligence is, you’re able to pick up on other people’s feelings just by their words. You have an incredible memory (and take time to let things go) so you’re really good when it comes to facts and details. You take things personally and may become defensive.

Leo: You’re memorable. The stories you tell (and the way you tell them) are hard to forget. You exude confidence and importance with your words even if you’re not always being completely honest. You demand attention and are an expert at sharing your opinions and ideals. This makes you a great speaker and people naturally want to listen to you. Passion and commitment are things that you project: you either go big or go home.

Virgo: You’re smooth. Virgos are underestimated for their eloquence but you have the patience and intelligence to get your point across very well. You function best in a well-organised environment and small tasks are your best friend. You’re able to pick out details (and the details of those details) effortlessly, much to the annoyance of the people around you. But this is actually a good thing and helps you out in the long run. Being critical is seen as being constructive, solely for the purpose of improvement and growth.

Libra: You’re considerate. You prefer to be on the fence when it comes to decisions, always aware of the pros and cons of every situation. This makes it difficult for you to actually choose what you want to do because you’re able to see the faults and advantages of everything, weighing them out on a scale (ahem balance). But you do this rationally and calmly, and you come off as extremely charming despite your indecisiveness. You’re a people-pleaser and love to give out compliments since you love seeing people happy.

Scorpio: You’re stubborn. This is mainly because you’re a fixed sign but don’t take this the wrong way, being stubborn can be very beneficial. You’re able to really understand people to their core, never giving up on figuring out the puzzle that is the human mind. You’re deep and love talking about issues that have meaning and purpose. You don’t tend to waste your time on superficial matters. This also makes you very passionate and people always seem to want to listen to you (or at least can’t seem to stop), as if they’re in some kind of trance.

Sagittarius: You’re charismatic. You love talking about controversial topics and are usually opinionated about them too. You speak in an enthusiastic way, as if you’re a teacher explaining all the lessons that you’ve learned throughout your life (hello philosophy). But you’re direct despite your optimism and you prefer to say things like they are, no matter how unpleasant it may sound. Luckily, people value your honesty and you’re also very open minded. Challenges interest you and you’re known to love a good debate every now and then.

Capricorn: You’re organised. Your thoughts and ideas are placed very carefully in little boxes, making your whole thought process a lot clearer. This allows you to get your point across very efficiently and stops you from rambling on and on about nonsense (and thus not wasting your time). People might think you’re a bit judgy but you believe you have strong principles and morals and like to stick to them. You can be abrupt and straightforward and you have an air of authority which makes you a natural leader.

Aquarius: You’re unconventional. You love to go against the status quo, even if that means questioning other people’s opinions just for the hell of it. You’re like a scientist, detached and observant. In fact, you tend to speak as if you’re on the outside looking in. You have a knack for talking about the weirdest topics and generally prefer to keep emotions out of discussions. Besides, emotions only cause confusion and force you to talk about (horrible) things like feelings.

Pisces: You’re confusing. Not to yourself (most of the time) but to others maybe. You have a certain pattern of thinking and speaking which is different to the majority of people. You are dreamy and inviting, making people feel comfortable and free. You speak in a way that sounds like a song, artistic and sweet. You try not to be too opinionated so as not to drive away your audience. This may cause you to come off as vague and all over the place.

The Signs and Blades:

normal-horoscopes:

Aries: A pair of reverse-bladed katana, the otherworldly metal glows green in the candlelight. 

Taurus:  A ceremonial knife made from the jawbone of a she-wolf. Must save some for mother. Always save some for mother.

Gemini: A decorative kite shield worked into the wearers armor. The apex of the shield comes to a trio of deadly, blunted edges resembling a lions claw. 

Cancer: A long whip of braided metal terminating in a wickedly frayed tip. The only thing worse than a sinner is a traitor.

Leo: A harpoon made from jet black metal. Its user unmoving, poised to hurl the spear at some long vanished foe.

Virgo: An ornate rapier, the hilt conceals an ingenious mechanism and a length of spring-loaded silver wire.

Libra: Long metal hammers tipped with a spearhead. Can be braced at the shoulder as a lance, or wheeled above the head to strike with even greater force. 

Scorpio: A weapon that resembles a pickaxe haphazardly plated with silver, because that’s exactly what it is. The tool of an illegal and frankly unsavory profession.

Ophiuchus: A heavy, but unassuming sword. An expert would know that it has been forged to kill something very, very specific. 

Sagittarius: A gun.

Capricorn: A pair of blocky metal hammers embossed with heavy, checkered faces. Weapons made for bashing armor and bone out of shape. Weapons wielded by someone who really hates shields. 

Aquarius: A weapon born of hubris. Far too large for any one man to carry. Countless weapons, pieces of armor, entire corpses smelted together into a hellish greatsword.

Pisces: Simple hooked daggers that double as climbing bracers. Walls mean nothing to those who can scale them.
