What's the Celestial ruling for targeting bowed cards. Ex, Can I target a bowed personality with a card that bow's it? Or can I straighten a card that is already upright?

Effects can fail. You may bow a bowed card as an effect, and you may straighten an already straightened card as an effect. In both cases, those effects will be considered to have failed.
