Everyone is assigned one of 20 &#8216;solar glyphs&#8217; and one of 13 &#8216;tones&#8217; based on your date of birth.. The descriptions of each of these are fun to read in a fortune-cookie kid of way..<span style=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>I particularly liked the kind of oddly specific <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>descriptions of some of these glyphs <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>and tones..
