Zodiac & Horoscopes

The Western and the Chinese zodiac in one visualizer: pick any of the twelve star signs or the twelve animals of the Chinese years and see it drawn in celestial line art, alive to your song. The sign traced in starlight inside a ring of stars, its figure in its element's sky, the zodiac wheel turning to it, a horoscope card with a line for fun or your own words, the sign in neon and a birthday card for your sign.

Starlight

The sign in starlight: a night sky and the Milky Way, the sign's glyph (or a Chinese sign's animal) traced in stars inside a ring of stars a light runs round once a bar, the stars twinkling with the high notes and a shooting star once a loop.

Classic Studio

Element Sky

The sign's figure in its element's colours, in a sky made of its element: embers and flames for fire, ridges for earth, wind for air, waves for water, growing stems for wood, turning rings for metal. It nods on the beat and its tail sways with the bass.

Classic Studio

Zodiac Wheel

The zodiac wheel in brass: the twelve signs of its zodiac round a dial that rests on yours, turns once round each loop and lands on it again, a rete turning inside with a star for each band of the music and the sign's figure at the hub.

Classic Studio

Horoscope Card

A horoscope card for the sign: its figure in a gold medallion, its dates or years, its element and ruler, and a line for fun (or your own words), a foil shine crossing the card once a bar.

Classic Studio

Neon Sign

The sign's figure as a neon sign on a brick wall: the tubes light one by one at the top of each loop and hum with the beat, the sign's name glowing in neon script below.

Classic Studio

Your Sign

A birthday card for your sign: a garland of star lights chasing the beat, confetti of little stars, the figure bouncing on the beat and your greeting.
