So after having more than a few accidents involving my guardian spirit (Apus), I opted to respect and get a different starsign, however even after removing my old star sign, Apus leaving, relogging when prompted... nothing happened, Apus left but the guardian spirit who SHOULD have appeared (Byakko) never did, Asrai didn't even appear at any point. I've never respec'd a starsign before so I don't know if this is a common thing.

This was the result of the change that stopped people who were respeccing from accidentally losing the guardian spirit that they had. The spirit that rejoins currently will always be the the last one you had. The workaround to this is to manually dismiss the guardian spirit, THEN respeccing as that will cause the next youkai to join to match the chosen starsign element.
