(Hello everyone who is not Aqua! People seem determined to think I'm some jerk, so I thought I'd clarify this first comment.

The following is meant in sarcasm. I am giving Aqua a hard time because he is my friend and we just so happened to write stories about the same thing at the same time. Please refer to context if you are confused. Thank you.)

Wat.

(Joke) Alt. Title: That's Your Horoscope For Today

What about Ophiuchus?

>>19536701953670

MY FIC HAS DEMON-SLAYING.

DOES YOUR FIC HAVE DEMON-SLAYING?

I DIDN'T THINK SO.

>>19536831953683

Just wait until Chapter 20.5.

...is... is this a knights of the zodiac inspired pony fic?

I knew it was just a matter of time!

Huh. Ponyscope fic. Neat. I look forward to constellations versus sin incarnate.

God, drawing Zodiac ponies is haaaard :P

>>19536991953699

I DON'T KNOW YET

MAYBE IT WILL

I'LL TELL YOU WHEN I HAVE AN OUTLINE

...What's that? "Stop writing your crappy unplanned fic because this one is entirely better?" That sounds like a good idea!

My only quibble would be that this gets awfully telly in the middle, as far as what Libra can do and what's going on at the moment. I think most of that discussion can be left to the ending, which sets this in the Equestrian timeline quite well. But I already like this, and your Pisces in particular.

Interesting. I'm curious how the zodiac are going to hold themselves.

This... is incredible.

I shall be waiting for the next chapter.

I hope Leo remains a main focus of the story. She's so adorable! (Another entry for my "needed emoticons list". There isn't a "Daww" emoticon, and I need one right now! )

>>19536991953699  Well, Cetus is kind a demon.  And the nightmare things in Tartarus are demons... but were once ponies... and they don't seem to be kill-able (mainly cuz I;m not there with my bodaciously radical mondo-mega 1980's powers!)   Nothing can stop the 80's!  

Dude! That was awesome! I really like the villain already. The personality put into the narration was, in my personal opinion, absolutely hilarious. I really hope I'm right and that it ends up being Sombra.

>>>He hugged his hooves around himself and brushed the dust from his forelegs, his smile still growing even after the golden ring faded off into the distance.  So the peasants and the invalids back home were ready for the world to change, were they? >>>

I'll bring them hope and change!  ALL THE HOPE AND CHANGE THEY CAN BEAR!!!  HA HA HA HA HA!!" rang the maniacal laughter of the pony named Baroque Noblamer, who is a completely original character and not based on any political figure at all..

>>19537731953773

So there'll be two sin-themed stories in my watch list? Cool.

I absolutely loved this story so far, and it has made my faves list.

By the way, I'm a Libra, and I approve of this depiction of the Zodiacal character.

You know it should be THIRTEEN ponies for the zodiac because Gemini has 2 ponies. Just wondering if you know that.

>>19568271956827

There's a reason I said twelve, and it's something I'll go over before the first act's through.

hmmm, this appears interesting. The calm before the storm. Also, any chance of a ponyfied Ophiuchus showing up? The new 13th Zodiac gets so little love.

This is amazing. Aries is amazing, wished there was more Capricorn though :c

Traaaaaaaacking~

Oh and lets not forget the real question here, will we ever get to see the 14th Zodiac, Cetra?

>>19536701953670

THIS FIC HAS NO DOWNVOTES, YOU ACCIDENTALLY THE UPVOTE BUTTON.  

I'm a Leo, and I like this Leo.

I'm a Libra through and through and I approve of the picture.

>>19578201957820

MY PLAN HAS SUCCEEDED

HAHA, YOU FOOLS!

Not to go raising idols or anything like that, but don't pass over this story just because "someone was bound to make a fic about zodiac ponies." From what I know about the author, he has this story well-planned out in advance, and his friends are keeping him to a daily writing schedule come hell or high water. So I'm not too worried about this fic vaporizing into thin air halfway, which mine tend to do :/

That's a good thing (his updates, not my lack thereof). Even in this opening chapter, the relationships Aqua lays down feel like they have a very real history  behind them, and most any good story starts with good characters who interact with each other in meaningful ways. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Leo develops as the story goes on, and I hope you will, too.

That said... Virgo is best pony.

Oh jeez, I'm severely impressed by this story. I was so sure that I wasn't going to like it, but I do.

Impressive! I like the progression of this chapter and the crazed edge to this character's train of thought.

yes aires is a badass my zodiac is the best

....go on...

I'd have said 'what about serpentarius?' but someone already raised the issue. Interesting premise there

T'was great. Can't wait to see what powers they posses.

Capricorn. Half Pony, Half Goat, Half Fish...All Hippocamp. Totally unstoppable.

Oh, hello again Aquaman.

Lemme just read this, eh?

I was born on the first day of Libra, I approve of the character

i cant help it but every time i think of virgo i think of her saying "time for punishment princess?" thanks to fairy tail.

This is amazing. I love mythology a lot, so this is my type of story.

A cute, smart Pegasus with a fair nickname for my Zodiac sign? I approve. Go Sage!

I'm a Libra (Master Zodiac) and I love the way you portray her. The leader, voice of reason. That's us Libra's alright.

It looks interesting but the "gore" rating... I'm not sure I want to read it. How much gore is there?

>>19626551962655

There'll be a few battle scenes.  Just a bunch of monsters getting slashed at or pegged with arrows, more or less.  No brutal dismemberments  or anything like that.

>>19628861962886 I wouldn't really call that gory... But I'll read now. I just don't like reading gory stories.

>>19628961962896

I figured I'd play it safe and add the "gore" tag in case anyone wasn't interested in seeing the Ponyscopes partake in the occasional instance of good old-fashioned blood-soaked mayhem.  Kinda makes me wish the tag read "violence" instead of "gore".

>>19629141962914 yeah that would make more sense. or maybe a violence and a gore. Gore for things like you know....cupcakes... and a bit less gory. when a story has blood spewing all over the walls. that's gory.

I hope there's a lot of Libra.

(Best horoscope pony.)

Edit: FUCK YES. LIBRA = BEST HOROSCOPE PONY.

I have a different set of Zodiac based beings here, except they're evil. They are still awesome though. And Sagittarius is the leader here.

You know, those could be the pony zodiac's true final forms.

I love cancer because i'am cancer!

>>19630901963090 My god you watch kamen rider froze?! :)

So, is Leo really a lion/pony hybrid, or is he a crazy pony that likes to wear a lion costume for kicks?

As SOON as I saw that EqD post saying that Hasbro released that Zodiac Horoscope Ponies thing on their site, I figured someone would make a fic about them, and I was right!

OH MY GOD. I was waiting for this to happen! FINALLY!!

>>19585011958501

You're right about everything.

Except Leo is best zodiac pony.

Nepeta is best hoofbeast. :33 (Leo)

I'm going to get so much hate for the Homestuck reference.

Do you think you could get an image of the stallion's cutiemark?

As a Scorpian I can say, fuck yeah Scorpio.

Alright, you got me interested. I'll suscribe for more.

I'm a Libra and it seems we match in personality.

Everything was going soooooo well until you had to make Scorpio lose her  protection bracelet whatever to that cocky stupid arrogant Staggitaurus!! Not only is she awesome in this fic, but she's also my Zodiac! AND THEN YOU WENT AND SPOILED MY HAPPINESS!!!!!!! WHYYYYYYYYY??????????? Also this is amazing. Can't wait for more chapters.

Very interesting & entertaining start, I will definitely be watching eagerly for more.

Ehramegerd its the zerdiak.

Huh... interesting. Those ponyscopes have really caught some traction, huh? I'll have to read this.

AW YEAH! IM CANCER!

saggitariah looks a lot like my OC character... except that my character isYELLOW![color]

THE Zodiacs are the old elements of harmony!

>>19663711966371 I have an OC whose name is Sagittarius. It's a mare and her talent is throwing knives.

(Maybe I should rename her to 'Sagitta' to make it sound better.)

What IF... WHAT IF... WHAT IF SOMEBODY WERE TO MAKE A FIC WITH ALL (Well, most, anyway.) THE CONSTELLATIONS?!?!!?111@?!#

I love this so far can't wait for more.

This is fantastic! I can't wait for more, their personalities are very nicely done good sir!

>>19841051984105

Such language! What would Fluttershy say?

Do please check out Aqua's response to my post. The way he responds in kind. We are friends. We are ribbing each other. Thank you.

>>19875131987513

The Internet is a bad place to convey sarcasm. I've been crucified more times than I can count because of it xD. That's why I use blatant hints to make sure people get it ^_^.

This is meant to be sarcastic!!! >> [in_a_joking_manner] Blah! Why should we attempt to discern what you meant and what we thought you said? My opinion's obviously the correct one! [/in_a_joking_manner] << This meant to be sarcastic!!!

Bravo! Rarely am I so invested in a story with so few chapters out. Your writing style, in particular, pleases me.

I did see a few grammatical errors:

The whole table turned to look at Leo, whose until now hadn’t quite realized...

...she could ^see Scorpio and Aries both wearing twin knowing smirks,

His gaze eyes narrowed with contempt, he explained himself...

I await the next update, however long it may be!

I am really liking Greed also love that leo would run around with her light power on at night.

A few thoughts:

Before reading the Author's Notes, the whole "Sombra is the physical embodiment of Wrath" angle actually seemed like a pretty clever use of that character to me, even if he does seem to become more scheme-y than wrath-y by the time that he controls the Crystal Empire. I guess we might see some character development in that regard - or then again, maybe not.

As for the Summoner, so many clues... that snarky, massively cocky personality, the apparent chessmaster-like tendencies, the fact that his description seems to perfectly match a younger version of John de Lancie's ponysona... I'm starting to think that "Master" is eventually going to become Discord.

Unless you're trying to make it look like that because the Summoner is actually a red herring...

Also, I'm getting so many warm fuzzy feelings from all of the lovely character interactions. Such large casts start to make it hard at times to tell what exactly is going on with whom, but even so, the dynamics are wonderful.

EDIT: P.S. Greed is best Vice.

I am till trying to figure out my reaction in words so here's an emoticon montage that perfectly shows the scope of my awe:

>>20642452064245 Greed is best vice, you say? Then here's some Greeed

Image: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9PNsQQt_U9k/Tv1g_z7d40I/AAAAAAAAKog/7bVYsAugKy0/s1600/shf%2Bgreeed.jpg

Scorpio is best zodiac.

Okay, WHO THE FUCK IS THE SUMMONER?

I'm guessing we might get a visit from the Seven Heavenly Virtues. Or something like that.

>>20642452064245

Oh oh oh.

<equip tinfoil hat>

Greed will be Chrysalis    Just gotta be.

Envy corrupts Luna.

What else shooting-in-the-dark scenarios could I brew up?

Calling it now: Master= Discord

This gets my stamp of approval for the eerie level of similarities between myself and the quietly smug Sagittarius

Master is Discord, calling it now.

Wild ass guess, Leo is totally Celestia.

I am really digging this Master guy!

Smug, imune, powerful, makes people do stuff for him even if they don't want to, while he acts like a dick to them. It's like looking at a personality mirror!

Bravo good sir! I approve of your work!

Keep making shit real!

I eagerly await the next update.

I beg of you, please do not hesitate.

Is it wrong that I want to cuddle Sloth? Because I just want to pick her up and hug the immortal daylights out of her.

In any case, definitely looking forward to the siege of Oasis and whatever shiny light powers Leo may have under the hood.
