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.

JUNE 21 - JULY 22 (Cancer)

This is the STRONG SUN MOON. These are the FLICKER (woodpecker) people. They are compatible with Snake, Brown Bear, Beaver and Cougar and they complement Snow Goose people. WILD ROSE is their plant, their color is PINK, CARNELIAN is their stone and FROG is their elemental clan. FLICKER folks are able to "ride the flow of life" and to receive in silence. They are gentle, sensitive and dreamy folks who tend to both absorb and reflect things around them. They are here to learn more independence and stability.

JULY 23 - AUGUST 22 (Leo)

This is the RIPE BERRIES MOON. Those born under this moon are STURGEON people. Their plant is RASPBERRY, their color is RED, their minerals are IRON and GARNET, and they are of the THUNDERBIRD elemental clan. They are compatible with Deer, Red Hawk, Elk and Raven, and they complement Otter people. Like the sturgeon, these folks have an inner strength and the ability to see through things. They try to avoid any confrontations, but will fight when they are cornered. They tend to be active, dominant and powerful people, but also have a playful side. Their lessons include learning humility and teamwork, without dominance.

AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22 (Virgo)

This is the HARVEST MOON . Folks born under this moon have BROWN BEAR as their animal totem. These people are compatible with Flicker, Beaver, Snow Goose and Snake, and they complement Cougar people. Their color is PURPLE, their plant is VIOLET and their stone is AMETHYST. They belong to the elemental clan of TURTLE. These people, like the bear, are strong, yet gentle, persevering and curious. Bear people are cool, capable creatures of habit who love duty and work, but if provoked will strike with deadly claws. They are confident and courageous and are here to learn compassion and to enjoy the company of others.
