Inspiration Wanted - Zodiac Themed Abilities

[RayPrancer]

One of my less succesful tasks I've set myself is to create at least tweleve new abilities for the sample system - one for each sign of the western zodiac. Unfortuantly my knowledge of astrology is lacking and I'm finding it difficult - suggestions for all tweleve signs, as well as signs of the Chiense zodiac or signs you've made up yourself would be gratefully recieved.

Here's a list of what I've come up with myself - but remember I'm open to suggestions for absolutely any signs.

Aries: +1 to Artistic and Profession (Fire Skills)
Aries: Learn spells Enchant and Commence (Spells of Beginning)
Aries: Horns like a ram
Leo: Intimidating roar (of the Lion)
Libra: +1 to Academics and Profession (Magistrate's Skills)
Libra: Learn spells Truthzone and Shield of Law (Spells of Law)
Libra: +1 to Wisdom (Ability of Justice)

Conversions of mine so far to d20

Thanks guys. As is they're great for d20 (and probably Pathfinder but I don't own the books for that yet) and their easily converted to the system I'm using - I think the best thing to do is make datafiles for both and give you credit in them.

Respondants - remember it doesn't matter what system you use - post your inspirational ideas for Zodiac themed abilities/feats/etc in this thread - eventually I intend to work out the rules for them in the system labelled "Authoring Kit Sample" and convert them to that system adding to a datafile.

Just so we've got all the ones that are expressible in d20 terms in those terms, here's some of mine converted - you'll see I've made some more limited and split them out into several options:
