It is a common misconception that who we are is a matter of chance. The imperceptible alignment of planets, mysterious genetic relationships, a token bestowed by each person we meet. All of this is true, but we forget that we are also a choice.

We are the narratives told by and about us, what we do and what we forgo. We are immaterial and we are present. We know ourselves and we know we are not fixed. But there is still a magic in this knowledge. The practicality of our self does not discount the incantations we cast, the stars we interrogate, and the divinity we invite inside.

This manual is a means by which we can navigate these bodies. We draw cards and seek answers inside us. They can be illuminating, uncomfortable, perplexing, and expected. They bring us closer to ourselves, be it a self known or discovered.

The stars watch and speak in archetypes. We align ourselves to them, and in doing so create stars of our own.

In me, a constellation is a comic destiny personality quiz told through tarot cards and improvisational introspection. It’s designed for solo play but could be adapted for more players (or as an aspect of character creation for another game).

• No prep, no GM
• 45-60 minute sessions
• Play with any tarot deck (or use your real natal chart)
• Lots of astrology flavor

Inspired by the many works of Jammi Nedjadi and Maria Mison.
