The Story of the Twelve Signs
The old Starlight site told a fable in which twelve children each receive a different task.
A symbolic family
The characters stand for the twelve zodiac signs. The opening scene gives each a purpose and presents their differing strengths as parts of one larger story.
Reading the story
The tale belongs to the symbolic side of the original site. It is a way to explore contrast between characters, and the limits of trying to do every kind of work in the same way. The original wording is available in the archived capture below.
A question to carry away
Which kind of task comes easily to you, and which would you rather share with someone else? Think of a recent example before choosing a sign whose description seems to fit.
