How the Practice of Ecolonomics Impact the Environment and Spur Business Growth
Indigenous cultures contain meaningful symbols for just about every animal you can think of.
In the interest of keeping this article an article and not, y’know, a novel, I’ll stick to ‘birth animals,’ also known as the Native American zodiac.
The concept is similar to that of a horoscope; the idea is that a person born within a particular window can be characterized by an animal sign.
Check out the signs below to learn which animal sign you fall under and what that means according to Native American culture.
January 20th – February 18: Otter
The otter is quirky, cute and a bit hard to figure out.
The Natives perceive the otter to be unconventional yet effective at getting things done. Those born in this timeframe have a vivid imagination, which gives them the upper hand over other people.
That said, otters still make for very good friends and they can be attentive, sensitive, sympathetic and honest.
February 19 – March 20: Wolf
As you might expect, wolves thrive in a group. They become fierce when left alone but display powerful teamwork when in a nurturing group.
March 21 – April 19: Falcon
Falcons are natural born leaders and they are often a source of clear judgement for those around them.
Native Americans also see those who fall under this sign to never waste time. They are also persistent, with tons of initiative and skill in group projects. Falcons can also be a bit conceited, but for good reasons; they’re usually right.
April 20 – May 20: Beaver
Beavers adapt, take charge and overcome according to Native American tradition. Beavers get their tasks done with efficiency and they’re great strategists.
