What is the spirit animal of each sign? Check it out and understand the relationship!

Although little known, the Shamanic Horoscope is one of the most ancient astrological systems in existence. According to Shamanism, the set of spiritual practices of ancient peoples, each planet is endowed with a living essence. Therefore, since they are alive, it is possible to interact with them through their “medicine”.

The word medicine is used in shamanism to indicate profound knowledge of the most ancient laws of the universe. Although it can be used to promote healing, medicine is not just used for that, since it contains the energies capable of restoring harmony through the characteristics, mainly of an animal.

According to the Shamanic Horoscope, each of us has a spirit animal, which is determined according to our sign and birthday. If you want to know more about the 12 spirit animals that make up this beautiful astrological system, as well as find out which animal is your sign’s ruler, read on!

As we mentioned, there are 12 spirit animals in the Shamanic Horoscope. But what are spirit animals anyway? And when did the study of animal spirits originate? In this initial part, you will find answers to this and many other questions on the subject. Check out!

Spirit animals are the ruling animals for the time of year you were born. Each spirit animal is not only linked to the rotation of the seasons, but also to a direction and an element, which help to understand its energy and medicine.

Furthermore, through the animals of the Shamanic Horoscope, you can understand the paths you must explore to enhance your qualities, mitigate your defects and, thus, have a more balanced life and be able to evolve.

Each animal also brings with it a journey towards finding the meaning and purpose of its life in this incarnation, both individually and collectively. By knowing your animal, you will be able to make more conscious choices, working with your medicine.

The study of spirit animals originated in the traditions of the different cultures of Native American peoples. In general, the original peoples of the Americas had a desire to understand the Divine through nature and the elements that composed it (living and non-living).

In this quest, the ancients realized that everything in nature (the rain, the seasons, minerals, plants, animals, etc.) had great relevance and an essential meaning for understanding their role in this life on the Medicine Wheel.

By conceiving the natural cycles as a wheel, the native people realized that it could be divided into 12 parts, which corresponds to the same number of houses in traditional western astrology.

The big difference is: instead of signs, the Shamanic Horoscope is made up of animal spirits that head the person’s personality and journey in life.

Animal spirits that are associated with signs reveal someone’s most intimate characteristic. Because they govern specific times of the year, they are given to each of us at the moment of our birth to inspire strength, love, comfort and energy.

According to ancient Native American beliefs, a spirit animal has the power to explain a being’s spiritual energy, including their innermost and deepest desires. Therefore, they can serve as maps and guides to understand our role, our mission and what characteristics we can manifest to be the best version of ourselves.

Since our needs, inclinations, desires and aspirations change according to the stage of life, it is possible to have countless animal guides throughout life. Although your spirit animal is determined for you by your date of birth, animal guides are not.

In this way, it is common for animals to appear in your life through coincidences or until you try to get in touch with a specific animal guide in order to manifest their characteristics in your life.

There are 12 animals in the Shamanic Horoscope. As we will show, each of these animals is linked to specific characteristics that give the signs new nuances and help determine the personality of each person. Keep reading to discover the animal that rules your sign and its meaning below!

People born between March 21st and April 20th are Aries. However, even though the ram is a representative of Aries, the spirit animal of the Aryans is the eagle (or the falcon, depending on tradition). The Eagle is ruled by the Fire element and finds its nest in the East direction.

People ruled by this animal are not afraid to take risks and are filled with passion and the desire to reach higher heights. Regardless of the difficulties, the Eagle remains loyal and will seek with great dedication what he is looking for, exploring the skies and lands until he finds it.

Born leaders, who have the Eagle as a spirit animal, are messengers of the groups. Furthermore, those born under the influence of the Eagle are naturally direct and see situations clearly.

The Beaver is the spirit animal of Taurus, whose zodiac dates fall between April 21st and May 20th. The Beaver is the animal governed by the Earth element, and its home is the East direction. Despite being a small animal, the Beaver is known for its ability to overcome obstacles that come its way.

In addition to being smart, they have an incredible ability to build a solid career, raise a family and have a secure relationship and comfortable home. Beavers are attached to themes such as stability, confidence and enthusiasm.

Therefore, whoever has this spiritual animal is persistent and will hardly give up on their plans. Seeks to establish foundations and strong bonds and is often concerned about finances.

Gemini natives are born between May 21st and June 20th, a period ruled by the Deer. The Deer is the spirit animal ruled by the East direction and the Earth element. Those born under the influence of this animal tend to be alert and have a questioning nature.

They are sensitive by nature and therefore need to be very careful when relating to others, as they tend to copy the characteristics of the people around them, denying their own personality to please others. This is quite evident when they are with a partner.

Woodpeckers are caretakers by nature and can use their intuition to solve problems of any nature. However, they can be quite attached to people and things and can be very clingy, to the point of smothering people who are loved by them.

Natives of the sign of Leo are born between July 21st and August 20th, a period ruled by the spirit animal Salmon.
