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.

About Luna Monster
Express your soul and unite with all other souls.
Luna Monster Uranai is 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.
6 Relationships
The relationships of Luna Monsters are determined by their positions from each other. In Xiuyaojing, it clearly tells you both good and bad aspects of the relationships, however, in Luna Monster Uranai, all 6 types of relationship are considered neutral, and used as tools to analyze the nature of human relations. Also, if you see an increase in number of people with the same relationship to you, you can use that information to better understand your current situation.
e.g. When you look at the relationships of the monsters from Wyvern's position: Monsters next to Wyvern (Gryphon and Sylph) are in "CREATIVE" relationship. 2 positions apart (Centaurus and Mermaid) are in "FEELING" relationship. 3 positions apart (Unicorn and Siren) are in "SCRAP&BUILD" relationship. And 4 positions apart (Phoenix and Salamander) are in "GIVE&TAKE" relationship.
Additionally, there are 3 types for each of the monsters. Wyverns of different types; Evolving Wyvern (Wyvern 1), Thoughtful Wyvern (Wyvern 2), and Innocent Wyvern (Wyvern 3) are in "SYNCHRO" relationship. Wyverns of the same type (eg. Wyvern 1 and Wyvern 1) are in "MIRROR" relationship.

TAKE Curiosity and Respect Monsters that are 4 positions apartMonsters in this relationship are completely different from each other and attracted by curiosity. This relationship may lead to mutual respect. The 2 souls are the farthest apart, and the elements complement each other. There is nothing in common in regard to the souls, but you will be attracted to the other by finding something that you do not have in that person. You even accept the weakness of that person because you are so different from each other. You may benefit from this relationship when you are independent and have control of yourself in real life, and can fully express the originality of your soul. Having nothing in common means that you can bring your strength together and create completely new things. When you fully express your soul and radiate its energy, you will attract different souls with similar amount of energy. If you reach that point, you will have mutual respect. However, this relationship tends to end easily once your goals have been fulfilled.

SYNCHRO Same Challenge and Mission Same monster, different types
A fateful relationship. The same monster but different types (1, 2, and 3). 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. This relationship tends to come up at a tuning point in your life, and it may act as a rite of passage.

FIRE
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
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
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
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.
