Janusopolis Journeyman Astrology
Written by Janusoplis' astrologers. An introductory tome on astrology passed down to the present day. Only for the eyes of the disciples of the Three Titans of Fate.
Oronyx's Revelation
Preamble
Dear disciple. When you open this book, you will have embarked on the first steps to understanding the mysteries of destiny. In this world shrouded by eternal night, though we may no longer lay eyes on the starry sky, Janusopolis' astrology arts passed down to us remains the bridge that connects to the Titans' will.
Remember, true astrology is not mere inference of the celestial bodies, but insight into the laws of how the world works, and perceiving the signs that the Titans left behind.

Chapter 1: Twelve Palaces and Titans
Before learning about astrology, you must familiarize yourself with the Twelve Palaces and their respective Titans:
- Dawn Palace — Aquila
- Earth Palace — Georios
- Tide Palace — Phagousa
- Erudite Palace — Cerces
- Omniscience Palace — Kephale
- War Palace — Nikador
- Evernight Palace — Oronyx
- Justice Palace — Talanton
- Passage Palace — Janus
- Aunarch Palace — Mnestia
- Trickery Palace — Zagreus
- Death Palace — Thanatos
Each Palace represents a specific Titan's authority, influencing different facets of the world. When we divine, we must calculate the positions and strengths of each Palace in the sky to forecast how the Titan's will manifests.
Chapter 2: Astrology Calculation
I know that most of our readers would hail from the Eternal City of Okhema — it is currently enveloped in the radiance of the Dawn Device and unable to directly observer the starry skies. Nonetheless, this does not mean that the art of astrology has lost its meaning. On the contrary, the Dawn Device's operational principles have provided us with a new foundation to calculation.
To perform astrology forecasts, we must first observe the Dawn Device's changes in light. Note down the brightest and dimmest moments within a day, for these two times indicate the changes in Aquila's authority. With these as fundamental references, we can forecast the positions of the other Palaces.
For example, when the Dawn Device is at is brightest, the Dawn Palace's position is directly above.
At that moment, the Earth Palace would be positioned east, Tide Palace would be west, Evernight Palace would be directly below, and the other Palaces would be positioned in clockwise order.
*An anonymous note written to the side:*
The Dawn Device's light changes in intensity…? I can't tell at all. Also, is this even considered astrology anymore?
You can't take any of this book's contents too seriously. Don't be misled by those devious disciples of Oronyx!!!
Chapter 3: Chart Mapping
After ascertaining the heavenly Palaces' positions, the next step is to draw the chart. The chart is a circular diagram divided into twelve equal sections, each section representing a Palace.
Mapping steps are as follows:
- Draw a big circle representing the entire world.
- Divide this circle into twelve equal sections.
- Within each section, mark the corresponding Palace names and their Titan's title.
- Determine, according to the Dawn Device's changes in light, the exact positions of each Palaces.
- Draw a smaller circle at the center of the big circle, representing the divined individual.
Remember, the chart is not fixed, nor unchanging. With the passage of time, the positions of each Palace will also change. This is why the precise recording of time is essential.
Chapter 4: Interpreting the Titans' Influence
Once the mapping of the chart is complete, you can start to interpret the Titans' influence on us. Influence is largely dependent on two factors: The Palaces' positions and the aspect relations between Palaces.
[Positional Influence]
The influence of the Palace in the easy is strongest, symbolizing new life and ascendance.
The Palace directly above represents the state of apex.
The influence of the Palace in the west is weaker, representing decline.
The influence of the Palace directly below is weakest, yet also hints at the possibility of concealment and rebirth.
[Aspect Relations]
Opposition: Two Palaces that are 180 degrees apart represent conflict and opposition.
Trine: 120 degrees apart, representing harmony and complementarity.
Square: 90 degrees apart, representing anxiety and challenge.
Sextile: 60 degrees apart, representing opportunity and potential.
