If you really really want to make the borders fit the art, may I suggest reversing the art?
@Connor2001 It's true the Astrological Signs give me he Theros Gods vibe too ^^
Oh, shucks. Must be rare or mythic rare?
Okay, well, let's give this a shot... If you're curious about the connections, feel free to ping or message me. I just didn't want to leave a giant wall of text in the middle of your contest. ^^;
Just note that the bottom 4 are actually focused on the negatives/opposite of their zodiac.

THIRD POSITION -
@RugaQwarrcall with Sorrowmaker Algedi
The work you've done on flavour is outstanding! You're probably the participant that went the deepest when it comes to the meaning of each Zodiac Sign, and I think this is particularly visible on this specific card. The power level may be a little too high on my opinion, but the mechanics you chose did a wonderful work depicting the Sign of the Capricorn, symbol of the darkest nights =D
SECOND POSITION -
@TrippleBoggey3 with Leo, Feline Majesty
This is a really beautiful card
FIRST POSITION -
@Beeswax with Virgo, the Maiden
I think this one has it all! The focus on cards that entered the battlefield this turn creates a truly smart way of giving a motherly/protective feeling to the card. This flavour trick allows, at the same time, to balance some very powerful and interesting effects. Originality, flavour, and mechanical elegance, I'm really fond of this card =D

Thanks!
The thing was, I wasn't even trying to do good. I was just bored and wanted to make a card for fun.
