So sloth Astrology was based on a planetary formula of the rotation of different planets. Each planet kind of signified a house in sloth. Some planets had long rotation times and others short… hence why the winter houses are quite rare.
Some players are wondering how can they know when the next house of heat/sun/battle is coming up in order to do the coliseum and move on… well you can tell what house is up by typing “reading” with the scepter of ancient dominion software in your inventory. Although some don’t trust the result…
But here is another guide to help out. I parsed my astrology game logs and worked out when one house followed another and how frequently that house followed a certain house… which can give you a probability of sorts as to how likely we are coming up to a certain house…
For example at the time of writing this post we have a Winter house meaning the next house is highly likely to be winter wolf or frost giant.

Also an interesting piece of trivia… the astrology log was once posted by Breeze which told us far in advance of what house would be up when. By my calculations that log ended at about the same time the command started crashing the game. As if Astrology actually foretold it’s own demise… perhaps making it one of the most intelligent sloth systems. My suspicion is the command has probably failed to a date/time issue, a bit like the Y2K bug given the time the command stopped working… which was a little bit to near the 31/12/2020 to be a coincidence. But it’s just a theory. If you recall in the past, mail used to also go down at the same time every year.
