# Zodiac System
## What are zodiac roles?
Zodiac roles are custom roles the bot will give to users periodically, as well as at certain specific events.
The first way users can get their zodiac role is by simply running the `/claim_role option:Zodiac - Claim your missing zodiac role.` command at any time, and if they don't already have a zodiac role, the bot will give them one based on their birthday.
Secondly, as mentioned previously, the bot will automatically give out zodiac roles in the following scenarios:
* A user has their birthday celebrated
* A user sets their birthday in your server
* Randomly! The bot now slowly gives out missing zodiac roles a few every hour to help ensure everyone gets one!
Finally, a new placeholder, `{Zodiac Role}` can now be used and the Bot will replace it with the @ of the zodiac role for that message.
## What are Zodiac Emojis?
The `{Zodiac Emoji}` placeholder can be used in custom messages and, much like the zodiac sign placeholder, will be replaced with the zodiac emoji equivalent, such as ♍!
However, the default emojis can be a little boring, so servers can use the `/zodiac set_emoji` command to set their own custom zodiac emojis for the bot to use! Here is an example:
## What is the Automatically Give Roles setting?
This setting decides if the bot should automatically give users their zodiac roles in the following scenarios:
* A user has their birthday celebrated
* A user sets their birthday in your server
* Randomly! The bot now slowly gives out missing zodiac roles a few every hour to help ensure everyone gets one!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://birthdaybot.scottbucher.dev/faq-1/birthday-system/zodiac-system.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
