Sun, Moon and Rising: the foundation of your birth chart
In Native American tradition, each of us has a spirit animal: a guide who protects us and walks with us through the stages of life. But what is a spirit animal, and how do you know which one represents you? Here are some answers.
✦
What is a spirit animal?
Very present in Native American culture, a spirit animal is a revered animal. In this tradition, nature, animals and humans are linked: everyone has a protective spirit animal that guides and accompanies them, like an invisible thread connecting all beings.
It is a spiritual reflection of the soul, a manifestation of your inner essence. You don't choose it: it chooses you, because it resonates with your energy and your path.
The spirit animal is a guide and a mentor: it offers its wisdom not through words, but through the instincts, behavior and way of life of the animal. Each animal thus has its own lessons to pass on: its strengths, but also its weaknesses.
When a spirit animal appears in your life, it has a message for you, a bit like a guardian angel. It's up to you to listen…
It is also a protector that helps you through challenges and obstacles. Above all, it is a reminder of the bond between humans, nature and the universe: an invitation to respect all forms of life and to live in harmony with the living world.
✦
How do I find my spirit animal? 3 tips
You can stick to the symbolic side of your spirit animal, or deepen the bond over time by learning its characteristics and watching for it if it shows itself in physical form.
1.
In your dreams
Notice the animal that keeps coming back. When we dream, our mind is more receptive to the energy of totems, which come to represent our emotions or buried feelings.
2.
While meditating
A meditation session takes you out of your usual state of mind. It is an excellent way to open up to your spirit animal and let it appear.
3.
Let it come to you
Keep in mind that the spirit animal chooses you, not the other way around. You can bond with different totems at different times of your life.

What is a totem? Definition
The word “totem” comes from the Ojibwe (an Algonquian language of the Great Lakes region) ototeman, which originally refers to the clan or kinship group: literally “he is my relative”. It entered English as early as 1791 through the trader John Long. The idea of a personal “spirit animal” then spread in the West, where it took on the meaning it has today.
In Native American culture, the totem is a mythical being that can be an animal, a plant or an object, regarded as the protective spirit of a tribe. It is a kind of protective emblem of a community or an individual. It could also take a physical form: often a carved wooden pole raised in its honor.
✦
Your questions about spirit animals
Can you have several spirit animals?
Yes. Your birth animal accompanies you all your life, but other totems can show up during the periods you go through, to teach you a specific lesson.
Are spirit animals related to zodiac signs?
On the Native American wheel, yes: each totem matches a period of the year, and therefore a Western sign. The falcon accompanies Aries, and the wolf Pisces.
What should you do when you keep seeing the same animal?
Pay attention: in the tradition, it is often a sign that it has a message for you. Read its symbolism and ask yourself what it awakens in your life right now.
