Native Americans have always been greatly connected to the Earth and all the creatures that inhabit it.
They also believe in something called an animal birth totem, or the
spirit animal that guides you through life based on your birth date.
Each sign’s birth animal can provide insight into one’s personality,
life path, and other important aspects of our existence here on Earth.
So, what is your animal sign, and what does it mean?

Otter (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Otters have a spunky, eccentric personality. On the other hand, they
also excel at solving problems, and will never give up until they have
an answer. Many people find them hard to read, but this doesn’t bother
the otter. They see the world through a unique lens, and don’t care what
anyone else thinks about them. Otters constantly crave freedom and
adventure, but have a more gentle, empathetic side as well.
Wolf (Feb 20 – March 19)
The complex, mysterious wolf likes to sit back and watch the world
around them, simply observing and taking notes. They can be hard to get
close to, as they tend to hide their emotions and only show people
certain parts of themselves that they feel comfortable with. Highly
creative, intelligent, and artistic, the wolf spends much time in
solitude, perfecting his craft. This is where the phrase “lone wolf”
comes from, as they are fiercely independent.
Falcon (March 20 – April 19)
This animal represents the sign Aries, a fiery, independent, dominant
sign. Falcons like to oversee a situation, leading the way the entire
time. They don’t like to be controlled or bossed around, and don’t take
it very well when people try to tame them. Falcons dive into a new
project or business idea headfirst, without doing much observing or
thinking beforehand. They can come off as brash and intolerable, but
they have a good heart underneath their stubborn, boisterous
personality.
Beaver (April 20 – May 20)
The beaver possesses a strong work ethic, not quitting a job until
it’s done. They can be stubborn, however, and not listen to other
people’s input about a situation. They are loyal, honest people, and you
can always count on them to follow through. They have a level head, and
think in terms of practicality and logic.
Deer (May 21 – June 20)
Despite the deer’s docile nature, they can also be sociable and
highly likable. They move quickly, never stopping until they reach their
destination. Deer are amiable and light-hearted, but can also have a
totally opposite personality, crawling into their shell and wanting to
be alone at times. This behavior goes along perfectly with a Gemini,
whose birthday falls between the dates listed above.
Woodpecker (June 21 – July 21)
Persistent, dedicated, and courageous are just a few words to
describe the noble woodpecker. They might be small, but they pack a big
punch. Woodpeckers make their presence known when they walk into a room,
but they aren’t arrogant by any means. In fact, quite the opposite is
true. They are humble, gentle, and extremely caring, always putting
others before themselves. However, when people don’t meet their
expectations, they can get easily hurt.
Salmon (July 22 – Aug 21)
The salmon has a big personality, and naturally lights up a room when
they walk into it. They don’t mind having the spotlight on them, and
actually prefer it. Very talented, intelligent, and gregarious, the
salmon needs big goals and dreams to set their sights on, otherwise they
might fall into bad habits and stagnation. They enjoy having upbeat,
positive people to surround themselves with, preferably who also have
their sights on a huge dream.
Bear (Aug 22 – Sept 21)
Logical, analytical, and straightforward describe the courageous,
mighty bear perfectly. Bears have a great deal of patience, and will
remain loyal to you no matter what. While a bear might have a bad temper
underneath their quiet disposition, they rarely show this side of
themselves.
Raven (Sept 22 – Oct 22)
Ravens have an innate way of creating the perfect balance in their
lives, and therefore helping others to feel more balanced, as well. They
don’t tolerate injustice or bullying, always standing up for what’s
right. While they too have a quiet demeanor, they know what they want in
life, and don’t ever hesitate to go after it. They have a very eloquent
way of speaking, appearing calm and cool even when they feel a
whirlwind churning inside them.
Snake (Oct 23 – Nov 22)
Snakes might have a bad reputation, but don’t judge them before you
get to know them. They can appear aloof and sneaky, but they have big
hearts. You just have to peel back their layers to understand them
better. They are highly sensitive, creative people, but don’t hurt them –
they have a tendency to get revenge whenever people do them wrong.
Owl (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
Owls seem to have a split personality. While they do possess great
wisdom, strength, and patience, they can also be flighty and unstable.
They also have a hard shell, and it’s not easy to penetrate unless you
have patience with them. Owls are serious, yet warm and friendly. They
don’t like to stay in one spot too long, always wanting to leave to get
some fresh air and a new adventure under their wing.
Goose (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Geese are some of the hardest workers of the animal signs, and often
consume themselves with work so much that they neglect other aspects of
their life. They are not easily swayed by other people’s opinions, but
enjoy trying to persuade other people to accept and believe theirs. One
of their biggest fears in life is failure, so they immerse themselves in
their work to make sure that doesn’t happen to them.
