Native American Zodiac Signs and Astrology

Zodiac signs and astrology belong to the ancient beliefs that were created in times when people first started noticing the nature around them and trying to find answers to some of the world’s hardest questions.

To find sense in everything that was going on around them, people used Zodiac and Astrology to clear these unusual events and to grasp some sense in it. Native American Astrology found its inspiration in animal kingdom, since they were a civilization deeply connected to nature. Worshipping nature and everything inside it was a big part of their world, which reflected itself onto their Astrology.

Native American Astrology consists out of 12 Zodiac signs and each sign is represented by a certain animal that best reflects the character of a person born under this sign. The principle behind the Native American Zodiac is the same as in the Western Astrology, and every Zodiac sign is limited by date of birth of every person.

Zodiac signs in Native American Astrology are called totems. Native Americans believed in the strong power of totems, believing that totems can send them strength and power to overcome struggles in life. Totems were often protectors of entire clans and sacred ceremonies were held in their name and honor. So, without further a due, let us get into the symbolism behind the Native American Astrology and let us see what each sign represents.
