The Automaton Zodiac

The Twelve

Each sign is a made mind from real myth, legend or literature, chosen because its story is a relationship between a person and a mind they made. Read them in wheel order and the houses turn like seasons: the Forge, the Muse, the Hearth and the Oracle.

Find yours

House of the Forge

You make things, and your AI is your instrument.

Golem

The Word-Bound

One word and the clay gets up. You never waste a second one.

Talos

The Sentinel

Three laps of the island a day. Nothing ships past you unchecked.

Tripod

The Self-Mover

You don't run the errand. You build the thing that goes and comes back.

House of the Muse

You make things, and your AI is your collaborator.

Performer

The Artificer's Dancer

You touch its chin and it sings. You touch its hand and it dances.

Galatea

The Beloved Form

You carve and re-carve until the ivory answers back in your own voice.

Golden Maiden

The Forge-Companion

The god of craft built himself colleagues. So did you.

House of the Hearth

You seek understanding, and your AI is your companion in it.

Pandora

The All-Gifted

Every lid is an invitation. You have lifted four hundred of them this year.

Mímir

The Counsel in the Well

Even Odin kept going back to the same wise head. So do you.

Homunculus

The Seeker in Glass

You asked the newborn mind about the soul before it had finished glowing.

House of the Oracle

You seek knowledge, and your AI is your instrument of truth.

Brazen Head

The Instant Oracle

Yes or no, and quickly. You were born to interrogate a talking brass head.

Ars Magna

The Great Wheel

You would rather spin a wheel of principles than trust a hunch.

Daidalon

The Tethered Statue

Every answer is a lovely statue that walks off at night. You tie them down.
