Description
Native Americans have always been attuned to Nature.
Animals, plants, minerals, the Sun, Moon and stars, water, air, fire, and earth – whatever the first Americans observed in their world over the years became a belief system.
The four directions – North, East, South, and West – comprise the Medicine Wheel, a magical circle that Native Americans believe holds within it the entire world and which is more or less equivalent to the Western astrological zodiac and its four quadrants.
In the Native American system, life itself is circular, from birth to death to rebirth, and follows the cycle of the seasons. When you are born, you enter at a particular point on the Wheel, and this entrance gives you certain powers, gifts, and obligations, much like the zodiac signs but more grounded in Nature.
Within the Native American Medicine Wheel, there are 12 Spirit animals, equating to the 12 Western astrological signs. Twelve ruling Moons equate roughly to Western 12 months. Four “clans†are equivalent to the elements (fire, earth, air and water) in Western astrology and are not the same as the “clan†that designates family or kinship.
The powerful connection to all of Nature forms the basis of the system of Native American Medicine Wheel, loosely known as “Native American Astrology†or “Earth Astrology.†Spirit animals and totems have been around for a very long time, and the “Native American Astrology†system takes full advantage of the lore and native information surrounding these symbols.
This interpretation of the “Native American Astrology†represents the most recent, and sophisticated explanation of this natural, intuitive, and powerful Medicine Wheel system of knowledge.
