Hello Dee. It is nice to meet you. Here is your introductory reading ...

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Individuals born under the sign of the flicker, one of the most perplexing signs, can range from timid, shy, dull, and withdrawn to brilliant, friendly, and famous.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 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 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.

Hello my friend. Well here it is ...


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.

Hi there! Well here it is ...

Hi there! Well here it is ...

People born on this day is of the Snake.

Clan is of the frog
Spirit Keeper - Spirit Keeper of the West
Moon - Freeze-up Moon
Crystal or Mineral - copper and malachite
Tree or plant - thistle
color - orange

The snake is a mysterious and magnificent - if somewhat misunderstood - member of the vertebrates family. It has the capacity to travel miles without others hearing it pass by and it can be quite bold.

Worldwide there are 2,500 species of snake. In the United States there are only 250 species and sub-species. Snakes are carnivorous, limbless reptiles that live in a variety of habitats and kill their prey in a variety of ways. Most snakes eat insects and small animals, which makes them useful because they keep the rat and mouse population down. Snakes can adapt well to their environment and are very sensitive. Being cold-blooded, they depend on their environment to keep them warm and safe, especially when they need to hibernate. When they grow too big for thier skin, they shed it.


The snake is respected in most Native American cultures, as it represents justice and transformation. The Miccosukee people have a snake clan that specializes in supplying medicinal cures. To them, the snake represents patience, because it is slow to anger. Many Native Americans peoples used the snake as a symbol of femininine powers and for healing.

Working with the snake can teach you about the mystery and realms of creation. It teaches you to be a better communicator, and it also imparts a spiritual message about the need for self-defense and for protecting your own life force.

The feelings of people who are born under this sign of the snake can be intense, but thse people are also cautious. They avoid revealing their weaknesses to others. On the surface they are bold and confident people, but this facade masks insecurity and a need to protect their feelings. People born under this sign have very powerful personalities that can be a little overwhelming at times, so they must take care not to intimidate others.

Those born under the snake sign have the ability to sum up others at a glance and see right through charlatans almost before they have spoken. The same can be said of a situation, because these people will intuitively know whether it is good or bad. Many are interested in the occult and similar topics, but they like to see these things proved rather than simply take someone else's word for it. Many are excellent strategists, so they will not start out on the road to achievement without thinking things through and having a plan. Life for these individuals is a little like a game - and they like to win!

People born under this sign need to be able to trust htose they love and those with whom they live. They also need to be able to trust work colleagues, relatives, and friends. As long as the trust is there, they will do anything for their friends or collegues. If a friend or colleague does something to lose that trust, though, it will be gone for good.


Thank you so much for this!!! It is nice to have learned something about myself through the eyes of another culture.
Being a student and a teacher must be very rewarding for you.
Be blessed and have a lifetime full of happy days!flowerforyou flowerforyou

Hello there! I am still working on your other astrology reading, but I will have it done.

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.


Now you are wondering what all this means!

One day when I have more time, I shall give you explanations of each symbol given.

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.


Thank you Smiles!

Hi there! Well here it is ...

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.


Now as you can see you have the spirit of the north, which means that the spirit keeper or the main totem animal is a Waboose (white buffalo)

subsidiary totem animals are Moose and Bear.

At least that it is so for the Miccussokee Natives where I go every weekend and the notes that I have taken. I can ask to make sure though the next time I visit my friends.

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.



thanks!!!! i appreciate this very much! and for taking the time to do such cool things for us all!!!
after the life i've lived, and things that i've been through....... there are a couple of similarities, but not many. i've never run from anything, and i have to finnish what i'm doing before i do anything else, and i'm pretty solid on what my interests are, but do take on new ones with an open mind.....and i also pass many up, and don't feel like i'm missing something if i don't, and i never bleat! lol!!!!laugh

This is just a glimpse of the Native American Astrology reading, but it gives you an idea that they also have been doing this for a long time.

Hello there!

The Raven

clan - butterfly
spirit keeper - spirit keeper of the west
moon - ducks-fly moon
Crystal or mineral - jasper
tree or plant - mullein
color - brown

The raven is a black bird with a wedge-shaped tail. Although ravens are found all over the world, they are most often found in the West. Their song is a loud croak, and they can sometimes become quite aggressive, although they are wary of others. Their diet consists of insects, and some eat snails and shellfish, which they drop from the air in order to break the shell. They are very group oriented and very defensive fo their territory. The raven holds tribal councils.

To Native Americans, ravens are considered birds of balance between man and nature. Almost all tribes have stories and legends relationg to the raven, usually explianing why it is blakc. In all of these legends, the raven begins as a white ird whose color is then changed. Sometimes this is said to be a punishment for wrongdoing, but other legends say it is a mark of rspect for the danger the bird undertook in an effort to help humans. There is a duality in the way that Native Americna peoples view these birds. To some the raven is a bad omen, but to others it is a sing of good luck. Ravens have been credited with both bringing back clouds and holding them away.

Those who are born under the sign of the raven are higly efficient individuals who put ideas into practice. They can be dynamic, but they may n ot always seize opportunities when they arise. Individuals born under this sign are pretty techsavvy people, so they are able ot learn and use the latest technology quite easily, and they can use it to their advantage. They try to achieve a balance in everything, so they tend to sit on the fence, weighing up all the pros and cons of a situation before making a decision. Ravens are very ambitious; they have great potential for new and successful enterprises.

People born under the sign hate discord or conflict and do not take kindly to those who cause troube. The don't hold grudges, but if someone hurts them, they will not forget it. But they can be very diplomatic, reasonable, and impartial, and they will often do anything for a peaceful life. They are often softly spoken, which can lend authority to anything they say.


flowerforyou :heart: Thank you so very much {{{{Smiles}}}}.. some of this I was able to validate as I read it.. other parts, upon reading, had me take a closer look at myself.. and I saw truths that I had been previously unaware of.. that will now become the stregnths they are meant to be.

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.

The Grizzly Bear

Clan - turtle
Spirit Keeper - The South
Moon - Harvest Moon
Crystal or mineral - Amethyst
Tree or plant - Violet
Color - purple

The grizzly bear is considered a gentle and yet powerful animal. Grizzly bears make their dens in holes, in caves, beneath buildings, or beneath waterfalls. They are generally careful and quiet, and they eat anything they can get their paws on. Once they reach adulthood, their only enemies are humans and the only dangers they face are forest fires. Bears are naturally curious, and they move slowly, taking in everything around them. They take time to watch and learn from the things they see around them. During their time of hibernation, the females have to be awake to nurse their young, but the males usually continue to sleep.

To Native Americans, the bear is a very special animal. Many legends of the animal world recognize them as the spirit keepers and the head of the animal council. In most tribes the bear represents medicine, leadership, and defense of the clan. If you carry out spiritual work with the bear, you can learn about deliberation, pleasure, observation, slow and steady movement, strength, healing, and teaching.

Individuals born under the sign of the grizzly bear are naturally fastidious regarding cleanliness, hygiene, and health. In this respect, as in all others, they strive for perfection. People born under this sign have attractive personalities and are often witty and charming. Others regard them as efficient, shrewd, and logical. Nevertheless, those born under this sign often feel as though they are not good enough. Some of these feelings may be holdover from a childhood during which others in the family were valued more highly or where these individuals were made to feel worthless.

People borun under the grizzly bear sign seldom seek the spotlight; they are somewhat introverted, and they usually prefer to work behind the scenes. This is actually a strength rather than a weakness, because these painstaking types are just as valuabe as the "stars" of this world.

Typical people born under this sign are always immaculate and carry themselves well, projecting an aura of dignity and self-assurance. They are always well groomed and stylish Natural born analyst, they strive for perfection in every area of their lives. They find it hard to handle criticism, probably because they are already far too hard on themselves.
