ANIMAL WISDOM, DEC. 22

On these pages you will find your birth totem and its associate colors, plants and mineral. There is also a list of compatible signs. We have enjoyed bringing you this insight to help you on your spiritual journey.

DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19 (Capricorn)

This is the EARTH RENEWAL MOON. Those born under this moon have the SNOW GOOSE as their animal totem. They are compatible with Cougar, Beaver, Bear and Snake people and they complement Flicker (a member of the woodpecker family). Their plant is the WHITE BIRCH, their color is WHITE, their mineral is QUARTZ and their elemental clan is TURTLE. Like Snow Goose, these people have a respect for authority, and honor tradition. They are devoted to duty, and are quick to "strike" if provoked. They are prudent, discriminating and industrious and tend to be perfectionists as well as excellent organizers. They are here to learn to be more humble and frivolous.

JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18 (Aquarius)

This is the REST AND CLEANSING MOON. Those born under this moon have the OTTER as their animal totem. They are compatible with Red Hawk, Raven, Deer and Elk people and they complement Sturgeon (a large North American freshwater fish). Their plant is the ASPEN, their color is SILVER, their mineral is also SILVER, and their elemental clan is BUTTERFLY. Like Otter, these people are clever, bold, swift-tongued and sure-footed. They are helpful, patient, practical and humanitarian, but will kick back if crossed. They are here to learn to be more adaptable and to make their dreams a reality.

FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20 (Pisces)

This is the BIG WINDS MOON. People born under this moon are COUGAR people and are compatible with Beaver, Flicker, Snow Goose and Snake and they complement Brown Bear people. Their plant is PLANTAIN, their color is BLUE-GREEN, their mineral is TURQUOISE, and their elemental clan is the FROG clan. These people, like the cougar, tend to be cautious, not willing to reveal who they are until they are sure of those around them. They are just, intuitive, creative and gentle people who tend to show claws when attacked. They are here to learn a greater sense of reality and not be so sensitive and easily hurt.
