Zodiac Arrows
♈️ Aries were the vanguard, they invented the custom arrows. The purpose of the horns was to stake their claim on the target or territory.
♉️ Taurus arrows are tied together with a lace that has a bull’s nose ring at its end. Taurus are stubborn and don’t ever give up so their arrow can be used as a spear if the fight demands it.
♊️ Gemini made their arrows so that they would avoid routine and boredom. So, as they’re extremely thin, Gemini arrows are the only that can be shot together, the number of arrows in each shot is always changing.
♋️ Cancer are deeply sensible and easily hurt so they designed their arrow in a way that long fights are avoided. Their arrow is the most painful and cannot be removed.
♌️ The fletching on a Leo’s arrow is made out of lion’s mane. The arrows are used to protect the Leo’s kingdom - it may be anything, from home to a partner. Their jewels work as fuel for incendiary shots.
♍️ Virgo’s perfectionism made them extremely picky about their enemies. Although their arrow seems delicate and calm on the outside, it only takes one shot to kill.
♎️ Libras are the diplomats of the zodiac. Their arrow’s tip resemble the pans in the scale of Justice. Just like “Justice is blind”, so is its arrow’s tip. It is meant to end fights; not be part of them.
♏️ Scorpio have the tail of a scorpion on their arrow’s tip, which is poisonous and it kills their victim slowly. Scorpio have a natural secretiveness so they chose not to change their arrow’s fletching - after piercing an enemy in battle, it’s hard to tell if said arrow came from a Scorpio.
♐️ Sagittarius were not influenced by Aries custom arrows. As natural archers, their arrows were always the shape of their zodiac sign. These arrows can travel unbelievable distances, and are often mistaken by shooting stars
♑️ Capricorns were always resistant to big changes so they decided to modify their arrow only once and never again. The fish tail in the place of the fletching is reminiscent of their sign symbol (a sea goat). It can change the direction of the arrow after being shot, making this arrow impossible to escape.
♒️ Aquarius are know for their inventivity and originality. They improved the arrows transportation forever: instead of a quiver their magic arrows are carried on a water bearer (resembling their sign symbol). To pick their arrow they pour it from the bearer.
♓️ Pisces arrows were the last to be created. As Pisces is the sign of mysticism and spirituality, their arrows are capable of piercing the enemy’s soul. Much of this arrow’s characteristics are yet unknown.

Simple things you can do to bring more love and positivity into the world:
- enchant the bus or train you’re on, so that everybody has a pleasant day or a safe travel home
- paint protective sigils in the misty windows of buses or shops when it rains, and leave words of encouragement and praise on public bathrooms’ mirrors
- bless passing ambulances and firefighter trucks with speed and safety for their patients/destination
- wear an enchanted lipstick/gloss for your smile to brighten the day of everybody you meet
- enchant your spare change so that it gives luck to the beggars you donate it to; they need it, don’t they?
- actually, just enchant your money, so that retail and low-wage workers can have a better day when they serve you
