Here is a beautiful quote I would like to share with everyone:

Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web,
we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.

- Chief Seattle

I think you already did mine once before but I don't remember so if you don't mind June 5th, thanks.


So true what you say on the photo display. :)

Nice to hear from you Dragoness. :)


Hello my good friend. Of course I will show you a glimpse of Native American Astrology.


Your symbol is the (deer).

Clan of the turtle
Spirit Keeper is the Spirit keeper of the East.
Moon - Corn-planting Moon
Crystal or mineral - Moss agate
Tree or plant - Yarrow
Color - pale green.

The Deer is one of the most graceful and alert creatures of all. Their beauty brings joy to all that see them. Deer range between two and four feet at the shoulder. They have a bleating but quiet voice and will snort when excited. Deer squeal when they feel under threat or attack, and they also have a special bleat to call their fawns. Fawns are born with a spotted coat, which acts as camouflage.

Deers played a very important part in the circle of life for many Native American peoples. They provided a staple food, and Native Americans would honor the deer's gift with ceremonies, dances, and prayers. To some tribes, the deer was the most important of animals. It was seen to represent the heart, and it was called "the gatekeeper to the spirit world." The deer dance is the most sacred dance to Native Americans, they believe that it helps them to pierce the veil between the two worlds.

Working spirituality with the deer can teach you about adaptability, camouflage, grace, beauty, speed, and healing, and this process will also give you connection with the world of spirit.

People born under the sign of the deer interact with the environment, and investigate, learn, and share ideas. Those born under this intellectual sign value all mental activity, words, and ideas. Communication is of great importance to these individuals, and knowledge is never a thing to be hoarded. Rarely will you find these people more entertained than when they are in the midst of exchanging ideas with others of a simliar intellectual nature.

Born under the sign of the most versatile of the medicine wheel animals, these individuals are seldom what they seem. Almost chameleonlike, they will take a stand, voice an opinion, and then chance it the following day. Nothing is ever set in stone with them. They are true free spirits who are driven by curiousity. People born under the deer sign will usually have several projects going on at any one time they can thrive on chaos.

Bright, witty, and entertaining, people born under the sign of the deer are rarely deeply absorbed by any one task. They prefer to skim the surface of many things than to get deeply involved in any one particular interest. Even if they become drawn into something, they will always feel that they are missing out on something else.

You are the Cougar

Clan - frog
Spirit Keeper - The North
Moon - Big-winds Moon
Crystal or mineral - turquoise
tree or plant - plantain
color - turquoise

The cougar is an animal that is feared and misunderstood. The cougar, also known as the mountain lion, the puma, and even the panther, is a member of the feline family; it can weight from 150 to 300 pounds. Cougars were found all across the United States before civilization. Now they are found mainly in the western United States. The best climbers of all the felines, cougars are also swift runners. They have large individual territories, and they do not allow their territories to overlap. Cougars are hunters, and they like to chase. They often work with their mates or relations to hunt, and they hunt for only what they can eat. They hunt farm livestock only when their natural food supplies have run out. The female cougar is a better hunter than the male.

When working on a spiritual vibration, cougars can teach you about speed, grace, territoriality, sensitivity, mystery, and communication.

If you were born under the sign of the cougar you are one of the most malleable of the twelve signs. You possess a gentle, patient nature, but one that can be molded. Those born under the cougar sign can be impressed and completly absorbed into their environment, and they adapt to their surroundings quickly, whether good or bad.

People born under the sign of the cougar are generous, friendly, and good natured, with a sense of kindness and compassion. These people are sensitive to everything around them, including hte feeling of others. They are popular folk because of their easy and likable manner. They have an uncanny sense of perceiving what others need, and they can often deliver it. These individuals are not initiators, because they would rather allow cirumstances and events to unfold around them and motivate them. when faced with change, they respond quickly and efficiently.

People born under the sign of the cougar are not practical people. They are too ephemeral for normal day-to-day living. They are sensitive and instinctual, rather than intellectual or mechanical. When they find the right route forward, they are capable of some incredible deeds. They might then become completely absorbed in their chosen path or field, to the exclusion of everything else.

The Snow Goose

Clan - turtle
Spirit Keeper - The North
Moon - Earth-renewal Moon
Crystal or mineral - Quartz
Tree or plant - Birch tree
Color - White

The snow goose, a white bird, has been called "the goose from beyond the north wind" because of its migration in the spring. Some species of snow goose travel five thousand miles each year. The snow goose is very gregarious, so it is not unusual to see twenty or thirty thousand birds resting in one location. At nesting grounds the young geese show respect for tradition by allowing older birds to have the first choice of sites. Both goose and gander stay with their eggs. Snow geese like everything to be perfect; they are literal nitpickers. They will spend hours happily picking mosquitoes from under their feathers. People born under the sign of the snow goose are perfectionists.

If you were born under the sign of the snow goose, you are a practical person who tends to like everything to be in order. You are a serious character with a dry sense of humor. If you were born under the sign of the snow goose, you are independent and as steady as a rock, the kind of person everyone turns to in a crisis. Snow geese reflect earthy qualities. Mostly cautious but quietyl confident, you can be obstinate and strong willed. You are very hardworking and you hate to let others down.

Those who are born under the sign of the snow goose are practical managers who set high standards for themselves and others. It can be quite hard to live up to these people's expectations sometimes. People born under the sign of the snow goose are also quite self-critical. They work well in a disciplined environment but demand equal measures rom suboridnates. Highly organized, they excel in multitasking and juggling more than one project at a time. Although firm, these individuals are also fair to the people they deal with. Those who are born under the sign of the snow goose value tradition.

The Beaver

Clan - the turtle
Spirit keeper - Spirit keeper of the East
Crystal or mineral - chrysocolia
Tree or plant - blue camas
Color - blue

Native Americans valued the beaver's fur and meat and used the castoreum to effect healing. When the Europeans arrived in North America, they encouraged the Native Americans to hunt more beavers so that they could trade goods for the beaver fur.

Working on a spiritual vibration with the beaver can teach you about stability, balance, tradition, and the true value of things. The beaver also shows us how to be affectionate, hardworking, and self reliant.

People born under the sign of the beaver tend to be slow, methodical, practical, and reserved. They are also stolid, tenacious, and determined, possessing tremendous willpower and self-discipline. These people are inclined to stick to tried and tested methods of thinking, and their greatest satisfaction derives from results produced directly by their own personal efforts, rather than by those of others.

Roots are very important to the people born under this sign, and they need a sense of permanence and security. They are usually very easygoing and slow to anger, but once roused, they can have a fierce temper; they can be very difficult to deal with when they get angry. Loyalty is very important to these individuals, and a true friend will speak well of their great genorosity. Honesty, integrity, and dependablity are noticeable characteristics of people born under this sign. They are extremely sensible where money is concerned.

These people have what baseball players would call the "safest hands" in the zodiac. This means that they literally do no drop anything - be it fly balls, plates, or tools. People born under the sign of the beaver can work as well with their hands as beavers themselves work with their paws, and virtually all people born under the beaver sign could erect a dam and catch fish in it with great efficiency if they put their minds to it. - Frogs-return Moon

The Flicker

Clan - Frog
Spirit Keeper - The south
Moon - Strong Sun Moon
Crystal or mineral - Carnelian
Tree or plant - Wild rose
Color - pink

The flicker is a beautiful colored bird. There are two kinds of flicker int he United States. The yellow-shafted flicker, found in the east, and the red-shafted flicker, found west of the Great Plains. Both types can be seen on farms and even suburubs. Flickers are drummers who play their songs on wood. Usually they drum on trees, but they can also drum on wooden houses, sometimes to extract insects, but sometimes just for the sheer joy of it. The flicker displays a magnificent talent for music!

Working spiritually with the flicker can teach you about communicating, music, joy, nurturing, courage, protection, and your connection with the universe.

Individuals born under the sign of the flicker, one of the most perplexing signs, can range from timid, shy, dull, and withdrawn to brilliant, friendly, and famous. They can have a wide range of emtoions, and they possess strong parental instincts. Fundamentally, people born under this sign are conservative and home loving by nature. They appreciate the security of a home base to which to retire when the stresses of life become too much to bear.

Individuals born under the sign of the flicker can appear uncompromising and obstinate, but this stance is often a facade that they use to hide insecurity. Their loved ones may see a different character, one with sympathy and sensitivity to others. In their personal relationships, these people are often a mixture of toughness and tenderness. They can be emotional, romantic, and loyal, on one side, and possessive and moody, on the other. When it comes to their love ones, especially small children and pets, nobody can be more caring.

Those born under the flicker sign can have closed minds, they can be opinionated, and they never forget an injury. They will also never allow others to forget an error. They are led by their emotions, and they will either be the best of the worst of friends. The overall nature of these individuals is deeply emotional. Although reserved, they possess sensitivity and sympathy. Rarely will they stand on pretence. What appears to be out in front is nothing more than a protective shell, but within its tough armor often resides an intuitive and needy individual who yearns for a deep exhange of love and understanding.

The Sturgeon

Clan - Thunderbird
Spirit keeper - The south
Moon - Ripe-berries Moon
Crystal or mineral - Garnet and iron
Tree or plant - Raspberry
Color - red

The sturgeon is considered to be the king of the fishes. It is a primitive fish that probably existed on earth long before the dinosaurs disappeared, so it has a long history. The sturgeon comes in a variety of sizes. Sturgeons found in the Great Lakes area were considered teh royalty of fishes among Native Americans. The Ojibwa people believe that the sturgeon represents depth and strength.

Working on a spiritual level with the sturgeon can teach you about determination, perseverance, depth, and knowledge.

This sign actually links to two different kinds of fish according to which Native American tradition one follows. The other fish is the salmon. This is another truly royal member of the fish family, as it is valued as a food item by just about everybody. Now, of course, salmon are farmed, but in the past, it took real skill to hunt and catch the salmon. even more so when one realizes that fishermen were frequently in competition with the grizzly bear for these prize fish. This fish is also associated with perseverance, as shown by its determination to swim upstream in order to spawn.

Individuals born under this sign are considered to be oen of the strongest signs in Native American astrology. They are dominant, spontaneious, creative, and extroverted. These people were born to lead. If people born under the sign are ver part of a team building exercise, just watch what happens. The idea of buckling down and being part of a team is aline to these individuals, so while they may pretend to be interested in the concept, sooner or later (usually sooner) they will put their foot down and take charge. At this point, they will relax and become happy, while everyone falls in behind them in an equally relaxed and happy manner. Now the team will happily achieve any task that you can dream up for them.

People born under this sign possess grace and dignity, and they have an expansive personality. Abmitious and strong willed, they are positive and confident in their abilities. These people know what htey want in life and they get it. They are not easily daunted, so they persist through the most formidable of circumstances.

Individuals born under this sign can be stubborn; they often refuse to listen to another persons opinions. Because of their positive nature, they will expect the best, and when things don't turn out as they anticipated, they react immediately and badly. If things go again them, their confidence can evaporate, and they can become extremely downhearted. At this time they need a loved one or trust friend to keep reminding them that they are valuable and that their opinions and actions are not wrong. Fortunately, their bouts of depression dissipate fairly quickly and these individuals soon recover their usual cheerful and demonstrative nature.
