The Percipient

If your true sign is Gemria, then you possess the unique combination of qualities held by all Gold Signs, Cogniset Dreamers, and Time-bound.

Sign Class: Gold

Gold Signs are the reigning geniuses of the sign class spectrum, and chances are they know it. Witty and widely read, they enjoy conversation and debate, even when that conversation gets a little one-sided. They can come off as preachy, and they have a tendency to railroad, just driving into their interlocutors with the force of their intellect. Their arguments make perfect sense to themselves, but not always to those around them. Gold Signs are interested in a wide variety of topics, so they tend to be Jacks-of-all-trade, and can have trouble dedicating themselves to just a single hobby or career. They have a tendency to be high-energy, and can stress people out, including themselves. Their anxiety is such that they often need quite a bit of time alone with their projects. They can talk circles around most people, and they aren't afraid to use their intelligence to manipulate others to get what they want. They are good at making money, and also good at spending it. They aren't great financial planners, tending toward impulse purchases. In romance they lean toward partners who can keep up with them, both with their intellect and their energy, which can both be hard to match.

Lunar Sway: Cogniset

"Cogniset Dreamers are marked by a strong will and a short temper. They come off as callous and unemotional but feel very strongly, and will absolutely get angry for personal reasons. Cogniset Dreamers will typically be the person who takes the lead, and they are constantly looking towards the future and the past, using past experiences to create future plans. When interacting with others, they are typically practical and very honest, but they can quickly become hot-tempered, rude, and rebellious under the right circumstances. When making decisions, they will be the loudest, and most insistent that they are correct, and will typically have the planning to back it up. If they are somehow overruled, they will lash out in petty ways, but after they have had time to process, they will be a strong supporter of the idea, and do their best to see it succeed. Cogniset Dreamers love a challenge, and they are excellent agents of change. They aren't very good at hiding how they feel or things they know, and tend to cover up any insecurities with bragadio and insults. They are very extroverted, sometimes to a fault. They hold themselves to a very high standard, and will not hesitate to hold others to those standards as well. However, if you manage to get on a Cogniset Dreamer's good side, you will have made a terrifying ally."

Aspect: Time

Those bound to the aspect of Time are fighters, full stop. Their lives are often marked by struggle, not so much because fate has it in for them, but because they are fundamentally incapable of just accepting things as they come. They value action over passive acceptance, even if that may not be the wisest or safest choice. Don't try to tell a Time-bound to sit still and look pretty. They are very goal-focused, and tend to value the destination over the journey, and you won't find them making that journey in any traditional sort of way. To quote cheesy posters found on many a guidance counselor's wall-"impossible is just a word". If you need a miracle, they are who you call. At their best, the Time-bound are empathetic and relentless problem-solvers. At their worst they are ruthless, defensive, and impulsive.
