Your totem guides you, your three signs reveal you
Sun, Moon and Rising: the foundation of your birth chart
The salmon, that tireless swimmer, braves the strongest currents to fulfill its destiny. In Native American astrology, it is associated with fertility and abundance: it is seen as a brave, courageous and admirable parent.
What does the salmon symbolize, and what does it say about the people it guides? Here are the answers.

The salmon is the fifth totem of the Native American wheel. It matches midsummer, when the sun is at its peak, and the sign of Leo, its double in Western astrology. A symbol of fertility, creativity and abundance, it is a heroic parent, ready to give everything for the life to come.
For the peoples of the Pacific Northwest coast, salmon were a people of spirits who came back every year to offer their flesh to humans. During the First Salmon Ceremony, its bones were returned to the river so that it could be reborn: the salmon thus links the spiritual and the earthly worlds.
👉 The salmon returns to spawn in the very river where it was born, guided by the scent of its waters, and sometimes clears falls of more than three meters (ten feet) to get there.
✦ ✦
Like Leo, the salmon loves comfort and luxury, and has a kind of imperial charisma. Passionate and confident, it is also generous: it gives without counting to those it loves and fiercely protects its family, which is its way of passing through time.
The flip side of this strength is stubbornness. Attached to its own ideas, the salmon follows only its own path, often against the current. This determination takes it far, provided it sometimes agrees to listen to others.
A flame that puts heart into every project.
A parent and friend who gives without counting.
A self-assurance that shines and carries others.
Stubbornness, pride, a taste for luxury.

Imagine yourself as a salmon, swimming against the current, defying obstacles with unshakable determination: that is where its power lies, perseverance. It teaches you that whatever the challenges, you have the inner strength to overcome them, and it invites you to develop your wisdom.
The salmon is also the messenger of returning to your roots. It reminds you that, however far you travel, it is essential to stay connected to your origins and your essence. And when it leaps out of the water, it reminds you that life is not only a struggle: it is also a game, a dance in every moment.
If you dream of a salmon swimming upstream, you will have the strength to overcome adversity. A salmon in a dream can also herald an inheritance, or a reminder of a bond that ties you to your family.
Seeing two salmon together is an omen of luck: a partnership, in love or in business, promises to be fruitful.
✦ ✦
The salmon belongs to the Thunderbird clan, the clan of Fire, with the falcon and the owl.
