thoughts regarding the extended zodiac
Astrology may be “bullshit” as we know it, but the things that make up astrological systems are all pure symbolism– artistic tools like anything else– and can work just fine in the right context.
Homestuck, Hiveswap, and Hauntswitch (collectively “HS”) is that context.
It does not mean “oh, WP just want to sell some shirts” is what is going on here. If it did, I’m pretty sure we would have gotten those shirts three years ago when the new signs were made.
What I’m trying to say here is, while this isn’t literally a Homestuck Update (part of the comic itself), this is still an HS worldbuilding update to read and explore how you want.
Think of it like a walkaround but entirely on a website. A walkaround where, as long as you know a character’s Aspect, or their Lunar Sway, or even just their birthday and some loose examples of their personality (as inferred from, say, conversations in a comic written years ago), you can learn more about them through understanding this system as the website lays it out.
There’s so much we can discover in the implications, even just from the Aspect descriptions and the fancy wheel design in the background.
Enjoy it.
