Réalteolaí (RAYL-toh-lee)

Astrologer

A Réalteolaí’s observatory is a place of wonder and precision, where vast telescopes rest alongside ancient star charts, and ink-stained hands mark the slow dance of the heavens across parchment. By night, they watch the stars emerge one by one, charting their slow drift across the sky, measuring the brightness of distant worlds, and calculating the invisible forces that govern their motion. By day, they pore over notes, refining theories, adjusting predictions, and tracing the influence of celestial movements on the world below.
Their study is a fusion of mathematics, philosophy, and poetic insight. The Réalteolaí does not merely note the course of a comet or the phases of the moon—they seek to understand what these rhythms reveal, how they connect to the cycles of nature, thought, and time itself. Some devote themselves to the physical science of the stars, seeking to understand the vast forces at work in the universe. Others turn to astrology, finding guidance in the alignment of planets, the shifting constellations, and the ever-changing sky. For them, the cosmos is a mirror, reflecting the unfolding of fate, the shaping of history, and the boundless potential of the present.
Whether guiding sailors with celestial navigation, advising leaders based on the wisdom of the stars, or simply finding beauty in the vast and endless sky, the Réalteolaí is both a scientist and a philosopher, a seeker of truths written in the constellations. They remind the people of *Tír na nÓg* that the heavens are not distant, but a part of every breath, every dream, and every moment of existence.
