ABOUT LUNA MONSTER

About Luna Monster

Express your soul and unite with all other souls.

Luna Monster Uranai is unique fortune telling method developed by Ivy Akane,based on Xiuyaojing astrology, incorporating the basic concepts of Western astrology and Jyotish (the four elements and Navagraha). It also reflects the insights of the author gained from her counseling sessions with clients. Xiuyaojing astrology was uniquely developed in China from the basis of Jyotish (mainly the concept of Nakshatra), and introduced to Japan by a Buddhist monk, Kobo-daishi Kukai. It uses the date of birth based on the lunar calendar to identify the “Honmei Shuku”, or constellation, the element which represents one’s true nature. In Japan, it was favored by the aristocrats back in the Heian era (8th to 12th century), and then used as a strategic tool to win battles in the age of civil wars (15th to 16th century). In modern Japan, the idea of Xiuyaojing’s 27 constellations is highly trusted by the professional fortune tellers due to its high accuracy and importance in looking at the relationships with others. However, it is considered difficult by people who are new to astrology since it frequently uses uncommon terms. Luna Monster Uranai divides the 27 constellations into 9 groups, each with 3 constellations of similar qualities. A monster or a spirit that represents the characteristics of the group is assigned for each group. In astrology, “Luna” or the moon represents the “naked soul,” which is one’s instinct or true nature. A Luna Monster is derived from your date of birth and shows the characteristics of your own soul and gives you guidance in developing relationships with others. Luna Monsters coexist in their world, approving and admiring the characteristics of each other, and there are no good or bad in terms of their relationships.

※The 9 Friendly Planets are new concepts that have been added in 2021 when we renewed this website. The descriptions of the Luna Monsters have been partly modified from the book “Ivy Akane’s Luna Monster Uranai” published in February 2015.

Type 1 is a craftsman/ researcher type and introverted, type 2 is an artist/ mediator type and both introverted and extroverted, and type 3 is an entrepreneur/social activist type and extroverted. Since they are the same monster, they tend to share the same values and behavioral principals, but how they approach things are different. From a broad perspective, they have a common goal. However, there may be situations where they have conflicts due to their characteristic difference. Since they have the same mission, they unite forces to accomplish that mission, once they decide to cooperate. They have the same element(s) and the same friendly planet, so the energies of those start to build up when they spend some time together. This is not necessarily a good thing as too much fire may burn things up and too much water may cause a flood. Therefore, you need to keep a proper distance with the person in this relationship.

四大元素について

The 4 Elements

Fire, Earth, Air, and Water are considered to be “the four elements that compose the world” in the values originated in ancient Greece. Those are important concepts for 12 signs in astrology and Xiuyaojing. Studying these 4 elements will lead to deeper understanding of the world and your soul. The author believes that paying attention not only to the elements that are held by your Luna Monster, but also to the other elements to complement and balance yourself from the outside, will lead to happiness in life.

  • FIRE
    FIRE(火)

    In the ancient times, when there were no electricity, fire was valued as a tool to light up dark places. People naturally gather around fire. You can understand the nature of fire by thinking of being in front of a fireplace. Power of fire can make people feel relaxed and uplifted. The sun, which always rise in the morning no matter what happens, also shows the strong aspect of fire. Fire that is believed to break through the old conventions and purify the space, also plays a big role in technological innovation. When praying or expressing one’s soul, people use performing arts such as music and dance. These are also ruled by the fire element. If your soul is deeply influenced by the fire element, your soul will truly shine only when it is being driven by passion that comes from deep inside you. Unifying power and noble ideals of fire are irresistibly bright. However, fire gets bigger when there is another fire next to it, and may burn things down at the wrong time. When dealing with this element, proper amount should be used in a proper way.

  • EARTH
    EARTH(地)

    The earth element represents every material that can be touched. It also rules things that accumulate over time, such as experience, tradition, culture, and history. Soil (Earth) does not dramatically change its shape depending on the environment, and can be touched in a stable shape. An important role of the earth element is to act as a receiver of all emotions (water) and prayers (fire). As landmarks stay in one place and act as connecting pieces of people’s memories, the earth element is missioned to “be there without changing”. When this element works in your favor, you will be in charge of protecting a place, organization, or style that has been an important part of history. The earth element has the nature of being difficult to change directions once it’s piled up, so a person who is highly affected by this element may face challenges adapting to changes. The dignity of earth will be enhanced by regularly gathering information (air) from the outside world, and having a flexible mind.

  • AIR
    AIR(風)

    The air element cannot be seen or touched, but always exists without a limit. Air can be a gentle breeze on your skin or a storm that can cause a tremendous damage. It is an element that is hard to recognize since it cannot be seen or touched, but we embody it through the use of our thoughts and words. The air element can move freely, and that is why it needs to be described in words or categorized so that it can stay in one place. This aspect of the air element has developed in order for it to adapt to this inconvenient world. You need the ability to validate information in order to accurately recognize and process vast amount of information. It is essential to have a broad perspective to get the most out of the air element.

  • WATER
    WATER(水)

    Ocean, river, rain, lake, swamp, groundwater, and fog. The water element can change its shape depending on external factors. It becomes gas when heated, and it becomes ice when frozen. It can be calmly accepting, buy it sometimes shows its forceful aspect that crashes everything that exists. Water is said to be the origin of all lifeforms, and it represents generosity, accepting and nurturing all possibilities. Water can bond easily with other things, and when mixed, it is not easy to separate. Once you have a deep relationship with something and get attached, you may become obsessed to it. Prior to bonding, you tend to be close minded, hoping to protect your territory and purity. When the water element is working in your favor, you are filled with a spirit of service and willing to help others, but when it’s working against you, you may get lazy or be jealous of others.

  • Ivy Akane

    Born in Nagano on Jan. 13th, 1987. Creator of the “Luna Monster Uranai”.

    After graduating from Meiji University School of Political Science and Economics, and Vantan Design Institute, Akane started her career as a professional fortune teller/ astrologist/writer in 2011. She became interested in fortune telling when she saw illustrations on astrology, magic, and herbs at her painting class, and held tarot cards for the first time when she was 7 years old.

    Although she was born in Japan, she has her roots in the Korean Peninsula, so she always had questions about her true identity and the nature of souls. Pursuing answers to these questions has been the driving force for all of her current activities.

    She uses Xiuyaojing, astrology, tarot and Lenormand cards during her fortune telling sessions, and also when writing articles. In 2010, she first encountered Xiuyaojing, which is the basic concept used on this website “Luna Monster Uranai”. Being impressed by the profound descriptions of the constellations, and the accuracy of the readings based on the relationships of the constellations, she categorized Xiuyaojing’s 27 mansions (constellations) into 9 groups and assigned 9 monsters (spirits or mystical creatures. Salamander, Phoenix, Unicorn, Centaurus, Gryphon, Wyvern, Sylph, Mermaid, and Siren) to each group.

    In 2015, she published “Ivy Akane’s Luna Monster Uranai” (Fusosha), and launched the official website.
For the new website launched in 2021 (this website), she took charge of writing all the sentences, directing the artworks, and designing the world of Luna Monsters.

    She believes that all souls can be healed when every people sincerely face their souls and accept to be affected by each other’s soul.

About "The Mucha Style" used for the illustrations
~In respect for Mucha, the artist loved by people beyond time and space~

When this website was renewed in 2021, the illustrations of the Luna Monsters were also renewed. While developing the new illustrations, the artistic style of a Czech artist, Alphonse Mucha, known as "The Mucha Style" was adopted since both the author Ivy Akane and the designer mai sajiki are his fans. Mucha, one of the most renouned artists of the Art Nouveau period, has influenced artists around the world beyond time and space even after his death. He is said to have believed that he has developed a style that will be loved for centries. With the help of the great artist, we hope that Luna Monster Uranai will also be loved by people beyond time and space.
