Native American Astrology, Animal Guides and Totems

Native American Astrology

Native American elder teaching the next generation.

The Native American Astrological System, as practiced and taught by the North American Indians, was in existence well before the first settlers arrived in the new world. From generation to generation these beliefs were passed on by the elders to the children who would continue the journey of life.

Native American Indian cultures believe that a person is joined with an animal spirit guide at the time of birth. This animal will accompany the person throughout their life as a spiritual navigator and invisible companion. Like a gardian angel in western religion, the guiding animal is thought to be a positive influence in the trek through life. A spiritual conselor who will always be there to bring you confidence and give you hope.

Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds
Whose breath gives life to the world, hear me
I come to you as one of your many children
I am small and weak
I need your strength and wisdom

May I walk in beauty
Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
And my ears sharp to your voice.
Make me wise so that I may know the things you have taught your children.

The lessons you have written in every leaf and rock
Make me strong--------!
Not to be superior to my brothers, but to fight my greatest enemy....myself

Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes,
So that when life fades as the fading sunset,
May my spirit come to you without shame.
