Hello there! I hope you are doing well my frienddrinker

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.

Hi Keith. Here is some interesting information for your Native American Astrology sign.

You are of the Elk for the Native Americans.

Clan - Thunderbird
Spirit Keeper - Spirit Keeper of the West
Moon - Long-snows Moon
Crystal or mineral - Obsidian
Tree or plant - Black Spruce
Color - Black

The elk is the largest and most regal member of the deer family, and its large antlers enhance its stately appearance. The elk lives in the woodlands. They seem to have a sense of responsiblity, because when the ground is covered with heavy snow, elks will take turns breaking up the snow to create a trail for others to follow. Elks often prance around or break into a gallop of joy, and can run at speeds of up to thirty miles per hour for short distances.

The elk has few enemies. Cougars, bears, and wolves will sometimes succeed in bringing down a sick or ederly animal, but no animal is to match for a bull in his prime. Before the start of the twentieth century, most elk were slaughtered, and frequently the only reason for killing them was to make two of their teeth into jewels!

People born under the sign of the elk need to guard against being overly argumentative and erratic or difficult when in intimate relationships. If you choose to work with the elk on a spiritual level, you will earn about strength, responsiblity, joy, speed, and protection. The elk represents insight, independence, and fearlessness.

Individuals who are born under the sign of the elk have a ntuarlly positive outlook on life and are enterprising and full of energy and vitality. Versatile and adventurous, they are eager to expand their range beyond the comfortable and familiar. They enjoy travel and exploring and their minds are continually searching for new experiences. They are ambitious and optimistic folk, and while they can be self-pitying at times, they are the first to admit that luck is often on their side.

People born under this sign are idealists, and this trait seems to keep them going when tye face disappointments. They are believers and they are willing to fight for their beliefs. They are both loyal and independent, and they manage to balance both traits. Keen students, they are always on the lookout for new experiences. Often intuitive and original thinkers, these individuals are better at adapting than inventing. They work well in collaboration with others.

This is very interesting. 7/24/80 bigsmile


Salutations lionsbrew! Well here it goes...

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.

I love the things you do SMILESS...so here is mine 1/28


Well thank you for the compliment! It is really interesting astrology isn't it. There are so many different forms of it!

Well here is your Native American Astrology sign ...

The Otter

Clan - butterfly
Spirit Keeper - Spirit Keeper of the North
Moon - Rest and cleansing Moon
Crystal or mineral - Silver
Tree or plant - Aspen
Color - silver

The charming and friendly otter is the most playful of animals in the wild. Both river and sea otters are happy when entertaining others. Otters are members of the weasel family who depend on the waters of large lakes, rivers, and the sea. Sea otters almost became extinct when people killed them for fur. All otters have large appetites. The highly intelligent otter is one of the few animlas that can utilize tools, for instance, using rocks to open shells. Otters have a wide vocal range consisting of chirps, squeals, screeches, hiccups, chuckles, and hisses, and their calls can carry for a mile. when not eating, hunting, playing, or sunning themselves, otters sleep.

If you were born under the sing of the otter, you are one of the most interesting and attractive people. You can be shy, sensitive,gentle, and patient, or enthusiasitic and lively with a tendency to be an exhibitionist. Both types are very strong willed and forceful in their own way. You can be very opinionated with strong convictions, and you will fight for what you believe in, arguing vehemently for what you believe to be true.

People born under the sign of the otter are farsighted and innovative. They are generally without prejudice and quite tolerant of the points of view of others. These individauls can see valid argument even when they disagree with it, and being objective, they never get waylaid by being too close to an issue or a person.

Those born under the sign of the otter are humane. Known to be frank and outspoken, they are serious and genial companions. In short, these people are refined, idealistic, and romantic, but also practical. Personable and likable, they are quick in mind and quick to respond. They rarely wear their hearts on their sleeves, but once committed, those born under the sign of the otter are committed for life.

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.

I love studing the NA culture ...my bd is 3/28 thanks smiless


If you like folklore tales from the Native Americans then don't hesitate to research on Professor Joseph Campbell. He spent more then half of his life on Native Americans.

Now to your symbol ...

Your sign is of the Red-tailed hawk.

Clan - thunderbird
Spirit Keeper - Spirit Keeper of the East
Moon - Budding-trees Moon
Crystal or mineral - opal
Tree or plant - dandelion
color - yellow

The red-tailed hawk is the only hawk with a broad wingspan and fan-shaped wings. Farmers often call the red-tailed hawk the "chicken hawk," because they insist that it steals their poultry. Crows, magpies, and overprotective songbirds sometimes attack red-tailed hawks during territorial disputes. These attacks rarely end in injury to the red-tailed hawk, so the birds can go on to live to be fourteen years of age. They usually nest in tall trees, and they are found all over the United States, but mainly in the western states. Both parents of the red tailed hawk look after their young. They are very adaptable birds, and they can survive almost anywhere, as long as the location is one where humans will not disturb them. Thir call is like the sound of steam escaping a kettle, and they are magnificent flyers.

Red-tailed hawks are special to Native-American people. These hawks have a special connection with the sky and sun. Because the hawks fly high, they are thought to have magical powers, and their feathers are often used in ceremonial prayers to the sun and the wind. Their feathers are also used in healing ceremonies. The red-tailed hawk is often used to refer to the head of a clan because of the great importance and status with which the bird is credited.

If you work on a spiritual vibration, studying the habits of the red-tailed hawk can tach you about grace, flying, survival, clear-sightedness, intensity, optimism, and openness.

People born under the sign of the red-tailed hawk are open, enthusiastic, and individualistic. They can be outspoken, alert, and quick to act and speak, and they would rather speak than listen. These individuals are ambitious, with lots of drive and a strong desire to lead. They make poor followers. They are fiercely independent, and they usuallly take the side of the underdog in any controversy. People born under this sign are champions of lost causes and battles. This trait is due to a strong belief in their ability to turn any situation around.

Those born under the sign of the red-tailed hawk are more intellectual than spiritual, and they are people of action rather than dreamers. They demonstrate little subtlety, and they are frank and amiable, so they make quick decisions and grasp ideas very quickly. Individuals born under the sign of the red-tailed hawk are also quick to anger; they are known for their impatience, and they can be prone to arrogance.

People born under this sign have a strong self-image and the ability to size up a situation in an instant, to some extent through intuition. These people calculate risks with lightning speed and make decisions accordingly. An adage that fits these individuals well is "A straight line is the shortest distance between two points." They do not waste time and energy beating around the bush; they come straight to the point.

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.
