Intro[]
The Celestial Gender System (CGS for short) is a MOGAI gender system, in which all the genders are connected to or have a "soft, celestial energy." Some of the genders are related to planets, while others are related to stars, the void, etc. None of the terms are aligned to masculinity or femininity, but can be linked to them. There are two versions of the CGS, the original made in 2017 and the 'updated' version that came a year later.
It should be noted that this is not to be confused with the Galactian Alignment System, which is another space-centric or space-based MOGAI gender system.
History[]
The original CGS was created by Tumblr user Juparian in the fall of 2017. The terms, definitions, and flags were all created by Juparian.
Later, Juparian requested for blogs that had reblogged the CGS to remove it from their blogs. The reason for this request is unknown, and Juparian has since been deactivated. However, another Tumblr user, System-Mogai, would reach out to Juparian multiple times over the course of several months to ask for permission to create an expanded version of the CGS. After receiving no response, System-Mogai would eventually post their rendition of CGS. This version redesigned some of the flags, redefined certain terms, as well as added entirely new terms. While System-Mogai's terms and definitions are the ones used today, many of the original flags made by Juparian are still in use.
The original post made by System-Mogai that expanded upon the now-outdated CGS was deleted at the request of Juparian and is inaccessible. Despite this, System-Mogai later published a different post[1] that detailed some of their changes and explanations, noting that their since-deleted post had gained traction despite its deletion and that they were receiving messages asking for more details. In this explanation post, System-Mogai iterates that the terms and flags used in the updated version were not approved by Juparian and were created solely by System-Mogai, who had simply taken inspiration from Juparian's original rendition of the CGS. However, System-Mogai hesitates to note specifically what their wishes are in terms of others' use of both new and old CGS terms, flags, and definitions, referencing Juparian's failure to disclose any specific reasoning or context for their wishes. Juparian would deactivate shortly after System-Mogai's explanation post went public.
The explanation post is phrased in such a way that it is made clear that System-Mogai is unsure of what to do given Juparian's lack of any explanation on why they wanted the CGS wiped from the internet and their lack of response when questioned over several months by System-Mogai. Because of this, and because Juparian's blog disappeared without a trace shortly after the explanation blog was published, the intricacies of Juparian's wishes are currently believed to be lost to time.
The Original CGS (2017)[]
Intro[]
The original version of the CGS, created by Tumblr user Juparian, was composed of ten terms, all of which had accompanying flags.
Chart[]
A chart for this version of the CGS was included by System-Mogai (the creator of the new CGS) in their explanation post to show the terms' links to masculinity, femininity, neutrality, how those connect with each other, and how the old CGS contrasts with the new one. It is unclear whether or not System-Mogai made this chart, as other posts containing a similar one can be dated to 2017, and due to Juparian's wish for others to take down all CGS-related posts having been almost entirely fulfilled.

The Original Terms and Flags[]
Note: These are the outdated definitions and old flags. While the flags from this version are used in the majority of cases (as per System-Mogai's wishes), save for where new terms were later coined, please keep in mind that the definitions listed in this section do not necessarily reflect their modern counterparts.
Juparian[]
Juparian: A nonbinary gender that is linked to softer celestial masculine energy. It is never hyper masculine and it’s not male-aligned nonbinary, but instead is simply linked. Someone who is juparian can feel different amounts of masculine energy at different times.
Lunettian[]
Lunettian: A nonbinary gender that is linked to softer celestial feminine energy. It is never hyper feminine and it’s not female-aligned nonbinary, but instead is simply linked. Someone who is lunettian can feel different amounts of feminine energy at different times.
Starfluid[]
Starfluid: A form of genderfluid linked to either the energy or the aesthetics of space/stars. Someone who identifies as starfluid can be fluid towards any gender as the only consistency is the tie to stellar energy/aesthetics
Mercurian[]
Mercurian: A nonbinary gender that is connected to a softer celestial energy. This energy can feel “gendered”, but is neither masculine or feminine. Someone who is Mercurian can also be “void” of gender itself.
Saturnian[]
Saturnian: A nonbinary gender that is linked to both softer celestial masculine and feminine energy. Like the others it is not masculine/feminine aligned, simply linked. And the amount of energy one feels can vary and change.
Neptunian[]
Neptunian: A nonbinary gender that is linked to the void and fluctuates with softer celestial masculine energy.
Venusarian[]
Venusarian: A nonbinary gender that is linked to the void and fluctuates with softer celestial feminine energy.
Celestarian[]
Celestarian: A gender that is a combination of juparian, lunettian, and mercurian. Someone who is celestarian can be fluid between all three/feel different amounts of each at different times.
Juparettian[]
Juparettian: Someone who is both and/or fluid between juparian and lunettian. (later changed to Ceresian)
Merjuparian[]
Merjuparian: Someone who is both and/or fluid between juparian and mercurian. (later changed to Erisian)
The Expanded CGS (2018)[]
Intro[]
The updated or expanded version of the CGS was created by Tumblr user System-Mogai in the fall of 2018. This modern version is composed of sixteen terms, all of which have accompanying flags, though many of the flags used in the original CGS are used interchangeably or are even preferred to their updated counterparts.
Charts[]
System-Mogai also created two charts for this version of the system to show the terms' relations to each other and masculinity, femininity, and neutrality. The first of the two charts listed showed the terms in the chart placed next to symbols corresponding with the alchemical equivalent of the celestial body referenced in the gender. The second of the pair was presented with more traditional gender representation symbols. None of the symbols presented in these charts are meant to be used exclusively by/for those identifying with genders that fall under the CGA umbrella.
The chart below is provided by blisswashere and serves as a different rendition of the above charts by System-Mogai, using the flags for each gender as the background of their corresponding region.
The Terms and Flags[]
Juparian[]
Juparian: A nonbinary gender that is linked to softer celestial masculine energy. It is never hyper masculine and it’s not male-aligned nonbinary, but instead is simply linked. Someone who is juparian can feel different amounts of masculine energy at different times. Colors are based off of the planet Jupiter.
Lunettian[]
Lunettian: A nonbinary gender that is linked to softer celestial feminine energy. It is never hyper feminine and it’s not female-aligned nonbinary, but instead is simply linked. Someone who is lunettian can feel different amounts of feminine energy at different times. Colors are based off of Earth’s moon.
Mercurian[]
Mercurian: A nonbinary gender that is connected to a softer celestial energy. This energy can feel “gendered”, but is neither masculine or feminine. The colors are based off of the planet Mercury.
Neptunian[]
Neptunian: Someone who is both and/or fluid between juparian and mercurian. The colors are based off of the planet Neptune.
Venusian[]
Veusian: Someone who is both and/or fluid between juparian and lunettian. The colors are based off of the planet Venus.
Saturnian[]
Saturnian: Someone who is both and/or between lunettian and mercurian. The colors are based off of the planet Saturn.
Celestarian[]
Celestarian: A gender that is a combination of juparian, lunettian, and mercurian. The colors are based off of the colors stars twinkle at night.
Kuiperian[]
Kuiperian: A gender that is fluid between multiple soft celestial energies. The colors are based off of nebulae. The name is based off of the Kuiper Belt, which has thousands of unique and different asteroids, like all the unique genders one can experience.
Plutoian[]
Plutoian: A gender that is filled with the energy of the void.
Someone who is Plutoian can also be “void” of gender itself, or uncertain of their celestial energy. It’s also for those who have no celestial energy, or whose celestial energy is like that of a black hole or a gap, the absence of all, but still having celestial energy. The colors are based off of the dwarf planet Pluto. This is also called Plutian. (Think of this one as agender, gendervoid, neutral, nullgender or quoigender. Plutoian + some other type of energy can count as a form of demigender.)
Ceresian[]
Ceresian: A gender that is both plutoian and lunettian. The colors are based off of the dwarf planet Ceres. (Think of this as demi-lunettian.)
Sonnean[]
Sonnean: A gender that is both juparian and plutoian. The colors are based off of the sun’s ‘type’ in the star spectrum. (The sun is a main sequence yellow dwarf star.) (Think of this as demi-juparian.) This is also called Sonnean.
Ouranian[]
Ouranian: A gender that is both plutoian and mercurian. The colors are based off of the planet Uranus. (Think of this as demi-mercurian.) The name is based off of the god Ouranos, which is what Uranus’s name is also based from. (Pronounced ore-ayn-ian)
Terraean[]
Terraean: A gender that is juparian, lunettian and plutoian. The colors are based off of the planet Earth. The name is based off of Terra, which is the Latin word for Earth (also spelled Terre or Terrae). (Think of this as demi-juparettian or demi-saturnian.) (Pronounced terr-ae-un) This is also called Terrean or Terran.
