Signs
There are eight signs for a student of the Academy. The sign is
chosen by the student, initially. But over time a different sign
may choose to embrace the student. Although temporary symbols
may exist, one symbol stays with a student at all times, which
is the students true sign. Temporary signs are less important.
Secondary signs are signs that also influence the student, but
less obviously... those who live around the student will notice
the secondary sign, while others will likely not notice it as
much.
The Ancestor
Symbol: Heart
Titles: Healer of the world, peace bringer, courier of love,
mother of time
Astrological symbol / Time: Crescent / Waning Moon (mid morning)
Chakra: Sacral
Element (of the four): Earth / Water
Color: Garnet Orange / Mahogany
Positive Totem: Rabbit
Qualities: Love, nurturing, speed
Needs love, security and nurturing environment.
Negative Totem: Siren
Flaws: Lust, self-indulgence, greed, envy, corruption
Is the symbol of temptation, selfish desires and hidden wishes.
This sign is the typical mother, parent figure, team leader or
support figure. They understand the importance of love, the
significance of the beginning of things, the appreciation of the
positive aspects and the caring of those important to ones self.
In his/her life fighting against ones own self and ones own
nature will be the greatest difficulty, but the greatest
triumph. Victory will taste sweetest for this sign. The Ancestor
and the Guardian have similar troubles and can sympathize with
each other easily. However a self destructive vicious cycle may
follow if they both are consumed by their own temptations. It is
best if they have at least one other person with a different
primary sign (especially Mentor or Gatekeeper) there to help
remind them of the importance of reason.
The Guardian
Symbol: Circle
Titles: Communion with the infinite, vision of the all, highest
honor, time itself
Astrological symbol / Time: Full Moon (mid afternoon)
Chakra: Root
Element (of the four): Earth / Fire
Color: Blood Red / Carmine
Positive Totem: Gryphon
Qualities: Speed, strength, protective
Needs safe environment for rest, needs something to protect.
Negative Totem: Tiger
Flaws: Vengeful, power, brutality, pride, envy
Is the symbol of power used for personal, selfish gain; betrayal
and ferocity.
This sign is a typical older brother; protective, loving, but
very self-centered. They are over-achievers, which can be used
against them. Although their responsibilities are great, they
are often exaggerated due to the immense pressure they come to
endure after so long. The legend of Atlas is a story they have a
familiarity with, and one which resounds in their very core; do
not mention this legend to them if possible, as it brings sorrow
to their hearts. They do not need reminding of their burden;
give them a moment to rest, just as Heracles did to Atlas, and
they will be refreshed. Although they carry a great burden, if
they carry it out with diligence their burden will be lifted
after this life (not necessarily the next; give them comfort and
support, and they will grow the most – nourish them tenderly).
To overcome their greatest challenge, they must walk the middle
path; straying from it leads towards suffering for those around
them and especially themselves. Moderation is the lesson needed.
Do not remind them of this; they know it, and doing it is their
challenge, not yours. They will help carry your burden, even if
you don't ask it of them; just let them do what they need to do
in this life.
The Guide
Symbol: Lotus
Titles: Guardian of life, love of all things, pinnacle in time,
dawn of time
Astrological symbol / Time: Dawning Sun (early morning / dawn)
Chakra: Heart
Element (of the four): Water / Earth
Color: Imperial Jade
Positive Totem: Wolf
Qualities: Protective, wild/natural, nurturing
Needs freedom, natural environment, needs something to protect.
Negative Totem: Rat
Flaws: Parasitic behavior, concealed danger, treachery, greed,
envy
Is the symbol of a traitor, destruction that comes from within,
which leads to dissent.
This sign is blessed; they can mold the future generations in
their hands. They are the great mentors, they guides of the
young. They have an innate need to be heard, and they thrive on
attention and compliments. Their love of life is incredible, and
is not dedicated towards any particular aspect of it. Unlike the
Ancestor sign which loves nurturing and caring as their main
focus, a guide is always learning that life is so much more than
just a single aspect of bliss. This is why they are fit to
teach; the guide takes time to blossom, and must become a guide;
the sign before this is the secondary one, as a true Guide sign
will just be dormant (in preparation for the grand blossoming of
the lotus).
Their negative totem is weak, and all needed to overcome it is
to find an ideal to follow. People will fail, causes will be
corrupted, but an ideal is immortal and infallible. When (and
never “if”) they find an ideal to follow, loyalty will guide
them and bring out their very best. Sadly, as their negative
totem is the weakest, their own potential is limited; however
they can bring out the full potential of others, if they nurture
them properly. Undying loyalty is the challenge and reward of
the Guide, which is an ill twist of fate. Their own enthusiasm,
energy and interests sway, and their loyalty will wither too;
only through deep bonds of friendship, family and love will
remain once a Guide's interests have shifted.
The Librarian
Symbol: Pillar
Titles: Savior to those in need, sculptor of legends, nurturer
of men, keeper of the past
Astrological symbol / Time: Half Moon (late night)
Chakra: Throat
Element (of the four): Water / Air
Color: Sky Blue
Positive Totem: Horse
Qualities: Speed, grace, insight
Needs freedom, space and eventually someone to love.
Negative Totem: Snake
Flaws: Betrayal (but only if threatened), pain, concealed
danger, anguish, fear of change
Is the symbol of treachery, anguish and threat.
The Librarian is record keeper of the signs. They have an innate
interest in history, love to read and love to discover new
information. They despise lies above all other things. They are
the people behind the scenes that make things happen. If you
need something done that most people will never notice, most
likely the person who will help this happen is of a Librarian
sign. They need time to roam around a bit, explore; new
environments help them thrive.
Their task in this life is to learn to compromise. It is a VERY
hard thing to do for them, as they are reluctant to change their
beliefs. They need a safe environment, though. They startle
easily, and they tend to be reclusive and wary when they feel
threatened (which can be over any small thing). Helping them
feel safe is necessary to help them progress in this world and
move towards enlightenment.
The Warrior
Symbol: Hand
Titles: Power over the now, creator of the all, hands of time,
the hands which shape the present
Astrological symbol / Time: Noon Sun (noon)
Chakra: Solar Plexus
Element (of the four): Air / Water
Color: Light Amber / Citrine
Positive Totem: Dragon
Qualities: Power, tenacity, leadership
Needs wisdom, understanding of others and a great deal of
moderation.
Negative Totem: Demigod
Flaws: Immense power, wrath, inevitable loss, indifference, fear
Is the symbol of unavoidable evil that must be fought; unity
must come or mistrust will lead to destruction.
This sign is that of the leader; however people who take action
into their own hands. These are the workers and people who you
see up front actually doing things or leading. They are more
notable and easily detected than other signs. However subtlety
is not their strong sign; they are as obvious as the day is
bright. Although they are powerful, they are very predictable.
Despite their strength they lack intelligence, and with this
they can be overcome easily by other, more cunning signs. A
Prophet sign person or a Mentor sign person are best indicated
for halting a rampage on their part.
For them, not only is moderation needed, but patience, virtue,
wisdom and understanding. This sign may be powerful, but that
power clouds them and overwhelms them. They are misguided
easily, and their power may end up controlling them, instead of
the other way around. A person of a Warrior sign will have great
troubles; they will achieve glory, but temperance is difficult.
Stagnation in this sign is common, leading many people to bear
this sign. However, the most dangerous sign of all is a Warrior
sign as primary, with a Mentor as secondary. These people can
master the world around them with few equals; and it is natural.
With enough effort their will is the only limit they have in
reaching infinite potential.
The Mentor
Symbol: Third Eye
Titles: Perception of the unknown, seeker of knowledge, guide of
power, weaver of the future
Astrological symbol / Time: New Moon (early night)
Chakra: Third Eye / Brow Chakra
Element (of the four): Air / Fire
Color: Deep Sapphire Blue
Positive Totem: Fox
Qualities: Intelligence, flexibility, insight
Needs stimulation and environment for ambition.
Negative Totem: Bat
Flaws: Parasitic behavior, mystery, dissent, indifference, fear
Is the symbol of slow destruction that goes unnoticed at first
to then destroy after it is too late.
This sign is the inventor, tinkerer, researcher and professor.
They search for knowledge, they teach as few others can do;
guides will give the best environment, while mentors will give
the greatest and deepest rewards. They understand that insight,
instruction, knowledge and enlightenment are the strongest
weapons against ignorance, as well as the most powerful tools
for progress. Their work shapes the future of the world, they
are the visionaries, they are the dreamers. They work on the
last stages of instructor, rather than the initial ones (which
are the focus of the Guide sign).
It is a sad sign, as they delve into deep mysteries but few
accompany them in their discoveries and work; loneliness is a
great sorrow for this sign, which leads toward apathy if not
supported properly. An allied Mentor will help fix and
strengthen the structure of a group if in a position of
leadership; however an enemy Mentor is tough to face, as they
are the greatest schemers of all the signs – however, they will
only scheme for evil if crossed of vexed. A strongly vexed
Mentor will be merciless and brutal (but an emotionless
brutality and cruelty). This sign alongside the Warrior sign can
be quite dangerous. Their great challenge is to understand the
limits of the understanding of others; patience, acceptance and
forgiveness are the great obstacles for this sign.
The Gatekeeper
Symbol: Ankh
Titles: Messenger of death, sage of the ages, guardian of the
dead, gatekeeper of the end
Astrological symbol / Time: Dusk Sun (late afternoon / dusk)
Chakra: Crown
Element (of the four): Fire / Earth
Color: Royal Purple
Positive Totem: Phoenix
Qualities: Rebirth, immortality, change
Needs understanding of others, to accept limits of others and to
accept that some change is not theirs to bring.
Negative Totem: Raven
Flaws: Death, change, ambition, indifference, fear
Is the symbol of great change for negative things; signifies
hidden ambitions among your ranks.
This sign is not what it appears to be. This sign is the most
difficult to detect of all signs, mainly because they are so
well disguised in this world. Most people fascinated with death
are not of this sign; members of this sign don't dwell on death,
but rather the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. They
linger for a bit in each cycle before contemplating the deeper
meanings of all existence. They have a unique perception of
time. This sign does not encompass any stereotype; although
other signs may seem to fit members of this sign, a true
Gatekeeper is defined by his understanding. It is hard to define
a Gatekeeper as being a primary sign or a secondary sign. As a
primary sign, they understand things which to most bring intense
emotions and/or fear; they talk about this on occasion, in an
odd seriousness (more so than usual), and a good amount of time
is spent attempting to resolve these issues (the change of state
in the endless cycle of existence). As a secondary sign, they
will talk about this and contemplate it, but not for very long;
however, unlike other signs, they draw rapid conclusions with an
understanding of the subject uncanny to other signs, able to
delve deeper and faster than any other sign.
Their challenge is to pass through the gate they keep
themselves; although they may help guide others towards a better
afterlife, they guard a gate into themselves as well; and their
own gate is one which even they fear to enter. Understanding
ones true self is a must, and slaying ones own demons will be a
great challenge of this sign. Only once they've slain their own
demons are they allowed to proceed in their cycle of
reincarnation, as well as gaining deeper enlightenment.
The Prophet
Symbol: Star
Titles: Light of hope, protector of the sacred, above all
things, separate from time
Astrological symbol / Time: Stars (midnight)
Chakra: None / Kundalini Awakening
Element (of the four): Fire / Air
Color: No Color / Aether
Positive Totem: Owl
Qualities: Wise, intelligence, decisive action
Needs comfortable environment, environment that supports room
for ambition, space for his endeavors.
Negative Totem: Spider
Flaws: Scheming, traps, pain, mystery, sadism
Is the symbol of manipulation, sadism and lies; a web of deceit
may be present or soon to come.
This sign is the most difficult to comprehend. They walk among
stars and among men at the same time. Their perceptions are
flung far out. Their intuition is deep and eerie, and at many
times scary. The fires of their souls can rock the core beliefs
of any other sign. Although the Warrior sign is the most
powerful in the physical and spiritual, the sign of the Prophet
can easily rip them apart. This sign is sacred, and to be
cherished. Their time among members of the other signs is short,
and it is best to be appreciated well.
The Prophet may find difficulty in being understood but also
finds over time that there is little need to be understood and
they realize their true purpose. This sign is near the end of
their time in this world; they prepare for the next stage. The
sign of the Gatekeeper will aid them the most in there
transition. Learning to accept help from others is their main
challenge, and especially so when dealing in matters that are
beyond the comprehension of even accomplished mystics. Failure
to do so turns their life right back to reincarnation with loss
of all progress done in this life, except progress in the
maturity of their personality.
