Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Tirivahni believe there are 9 elements from which all life is composed. In Ul-Zaorith, there are 9 elements: Planet, Sun, Moons, Light, Dark, Earth, Fire, Water, Air.
The Tirivahni use these instead of Astrological signs. Each colour is related to an Element and they are drawn out on the 9-pointed star, which represents the Life Spark.
They believe that everything in the world is composed of various configurations of these 9 Elements. The more complex a being becomes, the more of the Elements are used to create its Life Spark, its soul, its essence of being.
For instance, a rock would contain Earth Manna, whereas a tree would contain Dark, Light and
Earth. The different ratios of Manna alter its composition and its traits. The final Element is Planet, which governs sentience, among other things, like leadership, charisma, fortitude etc.
So, the ratio of elements a person has governs their skills, aptitudes, personality and interests.
There are 9 points in the Life Spark, the foremost is called Prime. My Prime is Air. I'm a child of Air, talk too much, need expression, communication, creativity, impractical visionary sight, a bit dreamy. The Prime stands alone because there's nothing to counter it, meaning you'll possess the weaknesses of your element as well as the strengths. The rest of the points go down the Spark in pairs, and can exacerbate or balance each other depending on person and circumstance.

Results:

The Planet Realm is expressed in the soul itself, and members of this sign are meant for great things. Even if these people don’t choose leadership for themselves, they cannot help but collect a following wherever they go. They are good at making decisions for groups of people, balancing what needs to be done with what everyone wants out of the situation. They understand that sometimes what is best for everyone is completely removed from what they themselves want. Because of this, Planet people are often deliberating whether or not their choices have been the best. Because of their often idolized status, many Planet people become jaded and lose perspective in time, becoming demanding of those around them and alienating themselves by refusing to compromise and being unable to trust those around them. In the end, they are the Leaders: wise and well-rounded, and have the skills to back up their reputations.

The Sun Realm is expressed in the spirit and drive. The Sun people are bold in all aspects of their life. The live loudly and true to themselves, often inspiring others and setting trends. But the number one customer for the Sun people is themselves, and everyone in their lives must come to terms with the fact that the world revolves around the Sun people. This behaviour is bound to alienate some, but the Sun people do just fine on their own, and have the determination and strength of will to get their way. At their best they can be courageous and loyal, and at their worst they can be pompous and megalomaniacal. They also have a deep sense of avarice, and will willfully use their charm and manipulative skills to get what they want. You don’t have to worry about secretly getting on the bad side of a Sun person, though, if they have a problem, they’ll be the first to let you know.

The Moon Realm is expressed in the primordial, the origin of life, the beginning of the world. Those of this sign are known as those of the Hidden Potential, for they have a great amount of potency and power, but unlike the equally powerful sun or Planet people, the Moons people are far less likely to abuse their power. They are compassionate and good listeners, tactful with their words and reserved with their personal opinions. They make a great show of being there for others, but their genuine concern is a carefully constructed façade to hide them away from all those they aim to help. The last thing a Moons person wants is the favour returned. They have a great deal of difficulty being honest with themselves, and tend to let themselves be bullied and pushed around by stronger individuals. If given the chance, these people more than any other can unlock a great deal of wisdom, power and magic that would impress even the notoriously powerful.

The Realm of Light is one of celestial enlightenment. These individuals spend their lives searching for the truth about life, the universe and god. The Faithful want everything to be laid out bare and plain for all to see, for a final answer to solve all the riddles in the world. They tend to be far-sighted and observant, but they often over-simplify things and get too caught up in schematics to see the whole picture. Of course, in their way, Light people are selfless and giving. For all their pushy dogmatism and righteousness, they honestly believe they are doing it for the good and salvation of the people around them. They honestly do strive to make the world a better place; they just tend to get a little egotistical and opinionated and refuse to consider the possibility that their way isn’t everyone’s way. One thing to note is that they all tend to have exceptional luck. They have an innate sense of being in the right place at the right time, more than any exceptional skill that puts them above the rest of the pack. Things generally seem to go their way, and this only helps to reconfirm all their strong beliefs.

The Realm of Dark is one of dreams, inversion, balance and introspection. The Dreamers are as withdrawn from the bustle of the world as the Light people are struggling to be a part of it. These people are complex and deep, and spend much of their time panning out alternatives – regardless of whether or not they’re viable. Dark people have a great capacity to unraveling the mysteries of the world, finding solutions and answers where many others have failed. But drawing so far inwards to better understand the natures of the cosmic and the self draws them farther and farther away from life and society leaving them distant, selfish, and apathetic. Because of their lack of personal involvement in disputes they make fantastic judges as they are completely impartial but also without the capacity for sympathy or compassion for those involved. Also in opposite to their Light counterparts, the Dark have terrible luck. If things are left to chance, chances are they will go wrong. Somehow at some point, and when they do it will be spectacular.

The Realm of Earth is the present, here and now, and able to be touched with the hands. The Practical Earth people are those that physically tend to have good health, strength and efficiency. Not only do they work hard, they work well. Exerting themselves and reaping results for what they have sewn keep them happy and balanced. While they can be stubborn, defensive and gluttonous, these aspects are all part and parcel with their immaculate work ethic. At times they become too wrapped up in the rewards and gains of their labour losing sight of the bigger picture, or neglecting to emotionally connect. Still, they care deeply, and are extremely protective of those they love. They display good self control and patience, but can at times be a little dense. To the earth person building a good home and keeping loved ones secure is paramount.

The Water Realm is one of deep and ancient power of self. The control of the emotions is a never-ending battle for these individuals. They have a great affinity for people, and being with their peers is of great importance to them. They are often under-estimated because of their obvious concern and care for loved ones. They should never be underestimated though, as their deep understanding and
knowledge of those around them, arms them with the best retorts when pressed into confrontation. Actually forcing them into confrontation is much harder than it seems for those so outwardly sweet, but they will worm their way out of a direct face to face at almost any cost. They are the Empathetic.

The Realm of Fire is one of beginnings, impetus, instigation and spark. Called the Instigators, the Fire people are brilliant at starting off chain reactions. They like to plant the seed, but not stick around to tend it or do all the work. While their ideas are often very appealing, they tend to not be the most practical people, expecting things to work on merit of concept alone, disregarding the hard work that would put their concepts into working order. They tend to get worked up easily, passionate and excitable in most situations. They have great amounts of vigour and driving power, but tend to have a fiery temper and lack patience and balance. They charge forward, calling for attention and confirmation to validate themselves.

The Realm of Air encompasses the art of creation and invention, and its inhabitants include some of the most original thinkers to see the world. They need to express themselves, and often feel the frustrating lack of skills to accurately display what they mean. They are great story tellers and entertainers, and are generally easy to get along with. The Air Children do have a tendency to lose focus often becoming partial, jaded, judgmental or out of touch as they become obsessed with things in their own personal sphere. They sometimes need a harsh readjustment that may seem to affront them at the time, but that will eventually be well appreciated, as the Air strive for a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants.
