Zodiac ATC (Occult Series #5)

The zodiac (which is derived from the Greek word meaning "circle of animals") is believed to have developed in ancient Egypt and later adopted by the Babylonians. Early astrologers knew it took 12 lunar cycles (i.e., months) for the sun to return to its original position. They then identified 12 constellations that they observed were linked to the progression of the seasons and assigned them names of certain animals and persons.

The signs of the zodiac are subdivided into four groups:

• Fire Signs: Aries, Sagittarius, Leo

• Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

• Air Signs: Libra, Aquarius, Gemini

• Earth Signs: Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo

SWAP INFO

For this swap, you will create one ATC for one partner featuring a Zodiac (either one of the signs or multiple just have something zodiac that is identifiable). The ATC can be any form of media-- just no sticker slapping! Digital elements are fine as long as they are used artistically (ie as part of a collage-- do not just print something out and call it a day). Make something your partner will be excited to receive.

✞ ATC's are always 2.5" x 3.5" with no overhang

✞ backing should be pre-cut ATC backing, thick cardstock, or thin cardboard

✞ include title, date created, and name/username on back

✞ send in plastic trading card sleeve

✞ add a note with swap name and username

RULES

✞ open to newbies with well-filled profile

✞ 4.9+ rating for everyone else

✞ no 1's or 3's in the past 6 months

✞ no 1's or 3's without effort shown to resolve

✞ suspicious swappers will be banned at my discretion

✞ I'll angel after you rate your partner a 1

✞ your partner gets a 5 if the ATC meets all swap requirements, even if you don't like it

Let me know if you have questions or concerns-- I generally reply to messages same day.
