The Bow Yule 21 to Snow 18	The three primary stars that comprise the bow are bright in the night sky, and make it one of the more readily found constellations. It is a popular conceit that the "arrow" of the bow points at the North Star, though in truth its aim in this regard is not quite perfect. (Some astrologers explain this in their belief that the stars gradually change their positions in the sky over the ages, and that long ago the arrow once did point directly at the North Star. When it should line up perfectly again, they warn, a great cataclysm will befall the world.)
	The Fish Snow 19 to Sap 20	The exact creature depicted by this constellation is open to some interpretation. Some charts depicting the Repense Zodiac show a generic sort of freshwater fish, such as might be found in the River Skirfane. Others depict a more marvelous creature -- sometimes a whale -- believed to dwell in the depths of the ocean. In legend, the Great Fish guards the Bow.
	The Sword Sap 21 to Grass 19	This is alternately referred to as "The Dagger," given the stubby proportion of the blade compared to the cross guard. The exact name used is often dependent upon what part this constellation is believed to play in any particular prediction. As the Sword, it figures highly into portents of war; as the Dagger, it is associated with assassination and subterfuge. In either case, horoscopes for those born under this sign almost always lean toward predictions of conflict.
	The Destrier Grass 20 to Flower 19	This sign is associated with strength and power, and it is desireable for a Repense lord's heir to be born under this sign. (More than a few truths have been stretched over the centuries concerning birthdays, to try to claim the Destrier as one's personal sign.) In legend, the Destrier guards the Sword. The Destrier is sometimes shown as being carried by the monstrous Giant. Some charts label this constellation as the "Burindent" instead.
	The Chalice Flower 20 to Strawberry 20	This sign is associated with abundance and plenty, and it is depicted as a cup flowing over. The chalice described by this constellation, indeed, seems to pour out into the hazy expanse known as the "Spilled Wine." This constellation is popular to invoke in favorable fortunes, and is invoked so often by shysters that the mere mention of the Chalice is enough to invite mockery from more cynical listeners.
	The Natheireun Strawberry 21 to Thunder 21	In art, this constellation is depicted as one of any number of varieties of flying feathered lizards. The sky lizards are associated with grace and beauty, thanks to their bright plumage and scale patterns, and many varieties are known for their pleasing songs as well. This sign is especially favorable for women, or for men with poetic or artistic aspirations. In legend, a magical Natheireun guards the Chalice; its song is able to lull people to sleep, and its powers of regeneration let it quickly heal even the most grievous of wounds.
	The Coffer Thunder 22 to Green 21	The Coffer is even more fortuitous a sign to be born under than the Chalice. It is associated with material wealth, and consequently its invocation in favorable-sounding forecasts is just as suspect to cynics as those involving the Chalice. One peculiarity about the Coffer, as the constellation appears on star charts, is that one of the stars of the outer box doesn't even exist anymore. (Or, at the least, it's no longer visible.) Some centuries ago, the star vanished from the heavens, prompting all sorts of dire predictions amongst stargazers; most star charts still shown the "phantom star" in its original position.
	The Spider Green 22 to Harvest 21	This constellation consists of eight stars spread out, and what appear at first glance to be two stars in the center. Commonly, the two stars in the center are treated as the body of the spider, and the other stars the eight legs; sometimes, the eight outer stars are depicted as a web; one star in the center is the spider, and the dimmer star its prey. For those with keen eyesight, however, it is possible to tell that the brighter "star" is not one but eight pinpricks of light clustered together. Being able to count them is considered a popular test of eyesight among the Repense. In Repense lands, this sign is of importance to weavers and seamstresses; sometimes, the making of special garments is put off until it can be done while this sign is dominant, for good luck. In legend, the Spider guards the coffer, and it is close to the constellation of the Spinning Wheel, with which it weaves strands of gold.
	The Scepter Harvest 22 to Hunter 22	The Scepter is similar to the Spider in that the "gem" at its top is not actually a single star as some suppose, but a tight cluster of six smaller stars ... though they are not so densely packed together as the cluster to be found in the Spider. This is another sign considered fortuitous to be born under, particularly for nobility. It also, however, happens to be located during a time of year when a great many birthdays cluster anyway, so it's not rare at all that a new lord is born under this sign.
	The Serpent Hunter 23 to Frost 22	Next to the Scepter is the Serpent -- not so favorable a sign to be born under, for it is believed to predispose one toward craftiness and guile. (One might argue that because of the strength of belief in this among the Repense, it is a "self-fulfilling prophecy.") A mother giving birth to a child under the very earliest or latest days of this sign may well lie about the birthdate, pushing it a few days forward or back into the Scepter or Scythe instead. In legend, the wise and shrewd Serpent guards the Scepter, and whispers advice into the ear of the King.
	The Scythe Frost 23 to Night 21	This sign, associated with harvest, figures into attempts to predict fortune or failure in the year's harvest. In more optimistic forecasts, it is associated with omens of bounty and plenty. It has a darker side, too -- sometimes associated with a "harvest of souls" in times of war. Nonetheless, it's considered fortuitous for a farmer to have a child born under this sign.
	The Comhach Night 22 to Yule 20	The name for this sign originally comes from the Phelan. Although it technically can refer to any number of small lizard-like creatures found there, to the Repense it is associated with a particular variety of comhach. This creature is at times charming, at others a pest, and is capable of standing up on its hind legs like a little person. It is frequently given anthropomorphic characteristics in children's tales popular in Repense lands, and popularly regarded as being a clever little thief. In legend, the Comhach guards the Scythe; sometimes, a companion constellation (the Lesser Comhach) joins it as a pair. Being born under this sign is a mixed blessing where the superstitious are concerned; it is associated with good luck, but those born under this sign are believed to be prone to mischief.
