Which dragonmarks correspond to which zodiac signs?

[victorysaber]

Has anyone does this before? Match the dragonmarks to the zodiac signs?

I would assume that the Mark of Death --> Ophiucus.

But how about the rest? Has Keith Baker said anything to that effect before, about the matchings?

Well, Page 130 has each of the months and the corresponding dragonmark. If you go in order compared to ours (and yes, our zodiac overlaps a month, so We'll start with Jan 20) You get

Dragonmark...........Zodiac
Storm..................Aquarius
Sentinel...............Pieces
Healing................Ares
Making................Taurus
Handling..............Gemini
Hospitality...........Cancer
Detection............Leo
Finding................Virgo
Scribing...............Libra
Shadow...............Scorpio
Passage...............Sagittarius
Warding...............Capricorn

You COULD actually begin with Capricorn ->Storm and shift everything down also. Either way, there doesn't seem to be a direct correlation between the zodiac and the Dragonmarks, but I'm sure one could be made if you wanted to.

Rem,

Uhm I think those signs aren't the same ones in Eberron Rem. I could be wrong but just saying. (I honestly thought they corrosponded to the Dragon gods meself...)

Actually, they are tied to the moon/symbol/plane that is dominant that month. The constellations/dragon gods are a separate entity. Read page 130 on the ECS for the lists...

Ah see I am not much of an astronomer, so thanks for clarifying that. (I knew I wasn't making that part up....)

Thanks! I wasn't looking so much for a calender-to-calender connection... more of a thematic or symbolic one. Or any official word on it.

But thanks again!

Victory,

My advice if you want an official answer, bug Keith. I'm sure he'll respond.

Either way, Sagittarius is Passage. Thematically, Aries could be Storm. And Scorpius and Shadow seems like a good combination.

 

[Nightfall]

Hammer,

Not a bad way to go I admit...
