Ancient Astrology

Ancient Astrology is a Heart-to-Heart in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is located at the Melfica Road in Alcamoth. This Heart-to-Heart can be seen only when Melia and Sharla are at purple affinity or above and if they are both in the active party.

Introduction
Melia: Whatever's the matter, Sharla? Why are you standing here?

Sharla: The stars... They're beautiful, aren't they? Knowing that they're the same stars I see back home... It makes me feel at peace.

Melia: Yes, I feel it too...

Sharla: Melia...You know anything about fortune telling?

Melia: [Of course I do!] It's about telling the future based on one's star sign.

Sharla: That's right! I thought only Homs knew about fortune telling...

Melia: I know nothing of its origins. But practitioners have existed for countless generations.

Sharla: Amazing to think that people of old looked up at the same sky as us.

Melia: Quite amazing, yes.

Sharla: So, do you believe in fortune telling?

Melia: [Yes, I do.] Is it unbecoming of me to dabble in such things?

Sharla: No! Not at all, Melia. All girls love this stuff! Don't you worry yourself.

Melia: Oh, thank goodness. I always wondered, you know!

Sharla: Tell me, Melia. What's your star sign?

Melia: The Rhapsodist. How about you, Sharla?

Sharla: My star sign's the Perfumer. You and me have great compatibility, Melia!

Melia: I had guessed as much!

Sharla: Haha! Wow, Melia... You're even better at reading people than me!

Melia: [Of course I do!] It's about telling the future based on one's star sign.

Sharla: That’s right! I thought only Homs knew about fortune telling...

Melia: I know nothing of its origins. But practitioners have existed for countless generations.

Sharla: Amazing to think that people of old looked up at the same sky as us.

Melia: Quite amazing, yes.

Sharla: So, do you believe in fortune telling?

Melia: [No, I do not.] Making grand predictions based on the movement of the stars? It’s preposterous.

Sharla: I don’t know. Sometimes it's surprisingly accurate.

Melia: But fortune tellers only tell you what you already know.

Sharla: Melia... You star sign is the Rhapsodist. Am I right?

Melia: You are correct. But how did you know?

Sharla: The power of fortune telling! Basically, you're a typical Rhapsodist. You’re a perfectionist, and firm in your beliefs.

Melia: Do you mean to say I am inflexible and stubborn? Is that it?! Although, now that you mention it... you're not exactly wrong.

Sharla: ''It's working! I barely said a thing, but she's starting to believe me!''

-4, +4
Melia: [It's nothing but mumbo jumbo.] It's patently false, and I refuse to believe in such drivel.

Sharla: I don't know, Melia. There’s definitely some truth to it.

Melia: Yet if I asked you for proof, would you have any to give?

Sharla: Well... maybe not. But if it was 100% accurate, it wouldn't be called fortune telling.

Melia: That... almost makes sense...

Sharla: Trust me, Melia. I know a little about this sort of thing! How about we do a reading? What star sign are you?

Melia: [My star sign is the Rhapsodist.]

Sharla: That's great news!

Melia: It is? Wh-why?!

Sharla: Shulk's is the Pedagogue. You guys are a perfect match!

Melia: We are?!

Sharla: You're a lucky girl, Melia.

Melia: S-such things do not impress me. I cannot share your enthusiasm.

Sharla: I know you’re smiling inside!

Melia: How dare you! But, erm... You really think we're a match?!

Sharla: Aha! You’re interested after all! It's true. When the stars align, two lovers' destinies are set!

Melia: I feel more confident, but I shall remain... cautiously optimistic.

Sharla: Trust me, Melia. I know a little about this sort of thing! How about we do a reading? What star sign are you?

Melia: [I will not answer that.] Tell me what you intend to read about me first.

Sharla: How compatible you are with Shulk, of course!

Melia: Why would you care?!

Sharla: It's more that I thought you might care.

Melia: I... do not need to know...

Sharla: Then this won’t interest you at all. Shulk was born a Pedagogue. If you happened to be a Rhapsodist... Well, you'd be a perfect match!

Melia: ''But... I am a Rhapsodist! Could it be true?!''

Sharla: Melia? You OK?

Melia: Oh, er, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about... Riki. That’s all!
