Cybertronian zodiac

Welcome to the Velvet Room. Ah... It seems we have a guest with an intriguing destiny...

The Cybertronian Zodiac is a series of ten signs, each with a related Orbital Cycle (with an equivalent date range on Earth calendars) and aspect, as well as a constellation. Their significance is unknown, but many signs are noticeably god-like beings, so there might be a religious aspect to the zodiac.

The signs of the zodiac are:

• Aquarius (January 21-February 25), the sign of hippies Peace, associated with the cycle Bahneon. Its constellation is that of a star.
• Xal (February 26-April 3), the sign of Trickery, associated with the cycle of Ferruneon. Its constellation is that of a sword.
• Chronarchitect (April 4-May 9), the sign of Time, associated with the cycle of Navitaneon. Its constellation is that of a tanuki.
• The Void (May 10-June 15), the sign of Hunger, associated with the cycle of Primaneon. Its constellation is actually an area lacking in stars, save for one in the center of the sign.
• Shokaract (June 16-July 21), the sign of the Hunter, associated with the cycle Inrituneon. Its constellation is that of a crab.
• The Core (July 22-August 27), the sign of Unity, associated with the cycle of Chōkoneon. Its constellation is its own spiral.
• Serpent O.R. (August 28-October 2), the sign of Combination, associated with the cycle of Zetcaneon. Its constellation is that of a serpent. Duh.
• Yggdrasill (October 3-November 9), the sign of Growth, associated with the cycle of Boltaneon. Its constellation is of a tree.
• The Key (November 10-December 14), the sign of Secrets, associated with the cycle Rokuneon. Its constellation is that of a key. Again, duh.
• The Golden Disk (December 14-January 20), the sign of Wisdom, associated with the cycle of Heptaneon. Its constellation is that of a disk. Once more, duh.

During the Decepticon invasion of Earth, cards describing the signs of the Cybertronian Zodiac were among the random detritus left scattered over battlefields. According to Hound the sign he was born under, Shokaract, had a dance associated with it that involved side-to-side crab squats. Transformers: Heavy Metal
