It definitely isn’t recommended for use in production systems - not because of bugs, but because it works as intended… The dev is still looking to add “more cosmic chaos” to scx_horoscope, so contributors are welcome. > > > >

Element Effects

Zodiac sign elements create elemental affinities and oppositions:

Boosted Combinations (tasks thrive under compatible elements):

  • 🔥 Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) × CPU tasks: 1.5x boost
  • 🌬️ Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) × Network tasks: 1.5x boost
  • 🌍 Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) × System tasks: 1.4x boost
  • 💧 Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) × Memory tasks: 1.3x boost

Hang on - Aquarius, the water-bearer, is an air element? I’m beginning to think this astrology stuff doesn’t make much sense.

I like that water is responsible for memory, like how homeopathic medicine works.

I thought you get less power in clouds but ok

Aquarius is the water bearer - the one who carried and distributes it - not water itself. The circulation of ideas (air) rather than emotions (water.)
