This is a bird that flies very high, and was used as a reminder to men that in daily life that we can always associate our material and spiritual aspirations. Indeed, the winter migration of geese is a symbol of pugnacity. Like the sign of Capricorn with which it is associated, the Goose represents constancy and fidelity. Indeed, geese are used to flying in pairs and supporting each other during the crossing. The animal symbol of the goose is the tenth spirit totem on the wheel of life used by Amerindian shamans. It corresponds to the end of autumn and to our Western astrological sign of Capricorn, to which it can bring a new and exotic perspective.
🪿 What does Capricorn's spirit animal; the Goose symbolize? - Purity and sobriety
The goose advances slowly but surely, indeed this creature likes to feel secure in all areas of their life because of a lack of self-confidence. The goose is uncomfortable when not in control of their environment. Likewise, they are patient, enduring, and takes the time to lay solid foundations for themselves and their family.
The white Goose is, for the Amerindians, a symbol of purity and sobriety. The fact that it is a migratory bird is very strong in symbols. It symbolizes fidelity, but also the desire for adventure. Indeed, it has a curious spirit and an insatiable thirst for novelty, although this sometimes leads to dissatisfaction.
The goose is a spirit animal that is associated with a variety of symbolic meanings. Some of the most commonly associated meanings include:
- Migration and travel: Geese are known for their long migrations, and as such, they are often seen as symbols of journey and movement.
- Community and family: Geese mate for life and are known for their strong family bonds. As such, they are often seen as symbols of community and familial love.
- Creativity and spiritual growth: Geese are known for their beauty and grace, and as such, they are often seen as symbols of creative energy and spiritual growth.
- Persistence and determination: Geese are known for their determination, especially when it comes to migration. They're not giving up till they reach their goal.
In China, the goose is considered a Yang bird and a luminous principle of nature. It's easy to draw parallels with Capricorn and its planet Saturn, the god of time known as Chronos in the Greek pantheon. We're dealing here with an animal linked to time, but also to the notion of perseverance and effort, since the great migration of geese is a major symbol of pugnacity (sometimes to the point of total exhaustion) to achieve a goal. This constancy is also found in the idea of marriage, as geese fly in pairs, supporting each other in their efforts "for better or for worse". In fact, the Chinese gave it the significance of a marriage contract, since the goose was one of the symbolic gifts of an engagement: by offering a goose, you pledged your word and your fidelity.
