5. Alligator (Leo)
6. Mouse (Virgo)

10. Deer (Capricorn) (Buffalo - other tribes)
11. Otter (Aquarius)
12. Panther (Pisces)
 

THE THREE REALMS AND THE ELEMENTS OF THE MEDICINE WHEEL

Every animal power represents several of the Star Clans; that is why all over the world there are different symbolic images of the subdivisions of the seasonal circle of the sky. This seasonal circle, and all that it contains, is known as the Medicine Wheel by many Native Americans.

The circle of our more immediate experience, extending to the horizons of the Four Directions, is also known as the Medicine Wheel, nesting within larger and larger wheels.

Every Medicine Animal has power in one or more of the Three Realms of Above, Middle and Below; and with one or more of the Elements. The Medicine Powers of the Three Realms or Worlds, like that of the Four Directions, is a very ancient tradition of pretty much all the Native American people. The Medicine Powers of the Twelve Directions and the Seven Heavens and their Lights are in most ways special to the Kvniakati,Tsulawi and other Cherokee and Shawnee traditions, though others may know these things in a parallel manner. The Medicine Powers of the Elements are partially Kvniakati traditions but have certainly been influenced by early interactions of Cherokee/ Shawnee, Scottish and Chinese astrological and medical systems.

It is good to have a balance of powers in the Realms and the Elements.

THE ABOVE REALM

The Above Realm is the world of the sky, the mind, fire and air. Red Hawk and Songbirds have power in this higher realm of cause and effect in the abstract and subtle sense. Bear has power here when she can stand up; her ally is the Crow who has power in the Above. Snake has some power here through his ally the Owl who has power in the Above Realm at night.

It is good to have something going on with one of these Medicine Animals or have them high in one of the Heavens if one wishes to exert subtle cause and effect, or in any way take a truly higher view of things.

Red Hawk and her Eagle relatives have the greatest power in the Above Realm and are the guardians of the East, the primary direction.

THE MIDDLE REALM

Beaver, Rabbit, Mouse, Bear, Elk, Deer, Otter, and Panther all have varying degrees of power in the familiar Middle Realm where humans also have power. Red Hawk and Songbirds can come into the Middle Realm but have little strength here. Snake and Alligator can come into the Middle Realm also but lack strength here as well.

On the face of it, Bear has the greatest power in the Middle Realm; she guards the Gate of the West into the Below Realm. Rabbit also has great power, more than is apparent, as he guards the Gate of the South; and the Deer guards the powerful Gate of the North.

These are the guardians of the Four Directions which are the axes of the powerful momenta of the Earth and the heavenly bodies - Red Hawk in the East, Black Bear in the West, Tiny White Deer in the North, and Great White Rabbit in the South.

It is good to have something going on with one of these Medicine Animals or have them high in one of the Heavens if one wishes to exert practical effects in the real world, or in any way make real changes in the daily life.

THE BELOW REALM

The Below Realm is the world of water, emotions and the tides. The Below is where subconscious and sometimes malevolent powers can reside. Snake and Alligator have great power in the Below Realm, and Panther also has a special power here by night. Otter, Beaver and Mouse have varying temporary powers in this Realm. Rabbit can hide very securely in this Realm and has a special power that is not active or obvious.

It is good to have something going on with one of these Medicine Animals or have them high in one of the Heavens if one wishes to exert subconscious effects in the motivational world, or in any way have an effect on the motivations of life and of others.

FIRE ELEMENT

Red Hawk has the power of Fire Above - pure intention, will and concentration.


Alligator has the power of Fire Below - the ability to connect the primal charismatic mind with drives and emotions in the subconscious (also sometimes called "drama").

Elk has the power of Fire in the Middle, or Fire in Wood - the interactive and enterprising social mind.

Snake has a power of Fire in Water - again a reptile to represent primal subconscious drives and emotions.

Mouse has a power of Fire in Earth - to store and categorize the various results of mental precipitations.

WATER ELEMENT

Panther has the power of Water Below - the depths of the subconscious and the predawn dreamstate.

Rabbit has the power of Water in the Middle, in Earth -the immediate emotions and practical nurturance.

Snake has the power of Fire in Water in the Below Realm, and can extend into the Middle Realm and the Above Realm by night through his ally the Owl - primal survival drives and emotions.

Bear has power in the Middle Realm of Air in Water - the Gate of Looks Within, gate of entry to the afterlife.

EARTH ELEMENT

Beaver has the power of Earth in Wood - industrious and relentlessly constructive.

Rabbit has the power of Water in Earth - where emotions and the practical world interface.

Mouse has the power of Fire in Earth - where the mind and the practical world interface.

Deer has the power of Earth in Crystal - where the powers of the practical world are most crystallized.

Otter has the power of Air in Earth - where the powers of the practical world are most transcended in the relative mind.

AIR ELEMENT

Songbirds have the power of Air in Crystal - where the relational mind is most crystallized and unintentional.

Bear has the power of Air in Water - where the relational mind guards the Gate of Looks Within.

Otter has the power of Air in Earth - where the relational mind transcends the limitations of the practical world.

WOOD ELEMENT

Beaver has the power of Earth in Wood - a power to constructively transform the practical world.

Elk has the power of Fire in Wood - a power to transform the interactive and enterprising social mind.

CRYSTAL ELEMENT

Songbirds have the power of Air in Crystal - a power to focus and crystallize the relational mind by perspective.

Deer has the power of Earth in Crystal - a power to focus and crystallize the practical world by meeting ordeals.

SUN AND MOON

Sun is considered to be female and to govern the basic physical makeup and the mitochondrial DNA (the genetic mother line) of the individual, while Moon is considered male and is the Hunter or the desire and attraction element. Both Sun and Moon are considered measurers of the sky, and distributors of the energies of the ancient and eternal Star Clans. These ancient sources of genetic code are symbolized by the Totem Animals in the constellations and in the clans of the various tribes.

Sun in Bear Place = Harvest Moon (Sun in Libra)

The Tsalaki Moon of Early Autumn is called Duninvdi or Harvest Moon. It corresponds to the West direction and to Dusk or Sunset as well as the Autumn Equinox. At this time of year, when you were born, nature is moving slower and the decreased rate of plant growth is apparent. Leaves change color and begin to fall from deciduous plants as nature begins to darken and prepare for the relative dormancy of the season. The Tsalaki people have their Great Harvest Festival or Nowategwa, and Great Moon Festival or Tseno'i'egwa during this Moon.

Harvest Moon People are content, thoughtful and patient. They are born when there is plenty of food and most people are celebrating. They witness, however, the steady darkening of the world in their earliest memories. This can give them a discouraged attitude, and they can be grouchy. They can try so hard to be fair that they end up being resentful.

The Sun Guardian of this Moon is the Black Bear in the Tsulawi tradition. Bear (Yanu) is nonaggressive unless insulted or intruded upon, and has poor vision but excellent sense of smell and intuition. Dwelling in the Middle Realm of Water in Air, Bear is also the Guardian of Kidney Plants in Kvniakati herbal medicine. The bears are all monogamous for a season, then they angrily avoid their mates. They do not usually travel very far and are often solitary. You have many Bear qualities that come from the Middle Realm of the Gate of Sleep and Death, the place of Judgment. Lethargy, indecision or introverted withdrawal may be a problem for you, but you have reflection, intuition, dream power and usually patience in abundance.

The partner Guardian of Bear is Panther, another dangerous animal. They do not exactly get along well, but they operate at different times of day and year as predators and respect each other. If they clash, it is a violent one, and Panther retreats angrily. Panther is likely to eat Bear's young cubs if possible.

Songbirds, Otter, Alligator and Elk all get along well enough with Bear. Otter and Alligator are Bear's fishing buddies. Bear and Beaver get along alright but try to stay out of each other's way. Mouse and Snake also just try to steer clear from Bear but follow in her wake looking for food.

Rabbit is very irritating and oversentimental to Bear who is an occasional carnivore and although very rarely enjoys an occasional fawn for lunch, is nevertheless frightening and clumsy to the Deer. Red Hawk is very aggravating to Bear and ruins her fishing. They have many conflicts unless there are other mediating animals.

Moon in Bear Place (Moon in Libra)

The Moon was with the Bear Hunter when you were born. Bear Hunter is nonaggressive unless insulted or intruded upon, and has poor vision but excellent sense of smell and intuition. Dwelling in the Middle Realm of Water in Air, Bear is also the Guardian of Kidney Plants in Kvniakati herbal medicine. The bears are all monogamous for a season, then they angrily avoid their mates. They do not usually travel very far and are often solitary.

You have many Bear qualities that come from the Middle Realm of the Gate of Sleep and Death, the place of Judgment. Lethargy, indecision or introverted withdrawal may be a problem for you, but you have reflection, intuition, dream power and usually patience in abundance. Reactiveness to others and lack of rest sometimes results in swelling under the eyes. Bear Hunters are cautious, polite and thorough. They try to think as others think because the Bear is an intelligent quarry. Bear Hunter seldom suffers the vengeance of Bear, and he brings back many things useful to the tribe and is highly respected.

Emotionally, here is how you relate to the other Medicine Animals and their Hunters:

The partner Guardian of Bear is Panther, another dangerous animal. They do not exactly get along well, but they operate at different times of day and year as predators and respect each other. If they clash, it is a violent one, and Panther retreats angrily. Panther is likely to eat Bear's young cubs if possible.

Songbirds, Otter, Alligator and Elk all get along well enough with Bear. Otter and Alligator are Bear's fishing buddies. Bear and Beaver get along alright but try to stay out of each other's way. Mouse and Snake also just try to steer clear from Bear but follow in her wake looking for food.

Rabbit is very irritating and oversentimental to Bear who IS an occasional carnivore and although very rarely enjoys an occasional fawn for lunch, is nevertheless frightening and clumsy to the Deer. Red Hawk is very aggravating to Bear and ruins her fishing. They have many conflicts unless there are other mediating animals.

Sun Opposition Jupiter:

The Sun and the Older Relative are closely associated within your being, encouraging you to be growth-oriented, optimistic, authoritative and confident. You may also have conflicts with authority, or be overconfident.

Sun Conjunct Saturn:

The Sun and the Ordeal Star are closely associated within your being. You are rather a loner, appreciative of solitude or you may be outright unsocial. You have a serious, mature attitude due to early life's sobering experiences. You may have a lack of energy, or slow movement, but once moved, you persevere.

THE SEVEN HEAVENS

The Ascendant is known as the First Heaven position and tells us about the relationship of the person to all Seven Heavens of human ideation, as well as their aspirations and how they fit into the world and the afterworld. Second Heaven is associated with the twelfth house, Third Heaven with the eleventh house, Fourth Heaven with the seventh house, Fifth Heaven with the eighth house, Sixth Heaven with the ninth house, and Seventh Heaven with the midheaven or tenth house.

Thus, First, Second and Third Heavens are in the East, and Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Heavens are in the West. The Heavens can be measured approximately by the breadth of your hand held at arm's length.

The First Heaven is closest to this Middle Realm where human events occur and certain land animals have power. The second through sixth houses of Western Astrology are below the horizon and represent the Below Realm where swimming and burrowing animals have power. The other Heavens represent the Above Realm where birds have power.

The Second and Fifth Heavens are tests, where flaws within the self and losses, enemies or opponents may be encountered. The Third and Sixth Heavens are more like most modern people's idea of a Heaven of harmony and communion. Fourth Heaven is the test of relationship, the heaven/hell conundrum, where the true self as well as the false self can be encountered in relationship, and balance restored when the false self is released. Finally, Seventh Heaven, the highest Heaven in Cherokee cosmology, is beyond formal conception: the balanced individual.

Asc. in Alligator Place (Asc. in Leo)

The Guardian of your Ascendant is the Alligator in the Tsulawi tradition. Alligator has great aggressive strength, but is very slow to be provoked unless its family is threatened. Alligator or Tsulaski dwells in the Below Realm of Fire. The alligators are promiscuous animals or nearly so, and pretty much stay in the same pond their entire territorial lives. The Wolf and the Fox are sometimes associated with this direction, as is the Sturgeon in the Mdewiwin Tradition of the Anishinabe or Ojibway (Chippewa) People. You have many Alligator qualities that come from the Below Realm of Fire, giving social circulation and entertainment skills and temporal leadership. Excess of fire can rise into the head from overaccumulation in the heart, causing attitudes of arrogance or self-importance.

Alligator gives an imposing appearance, with broad strong shoulders, a strong back and a strong jaw. Alligator people have strong bone structure but they have a lazy reclining posture and like to act casual and relaxed. They know they can get your attention. They have big mouths.

Alligator is also the Guardian of Heart and Circulation Herbs in Kvniakati herbal medicine. These include Hawthorn, Bilberry, Red Root, Smartweed, Shawnee Hydrocotyle (Gotu Kola) and Tribulus. These can all be found growing near the edges of Alligator's lakes, streams and ponds.

With Alligator Rising, Snake qualities are submerged in the Lower Realms of the inner self, and Alligator may deny its subtle and selfish side. The Alligator approach governs the First Heaven position and tells us about your relationship to all Seven Heavens of human ideation. First Heaven Alligator tells us that your aspiration is to demonstrate your indulgent authority and power in the Middle Realm and the Lower Realm underwater world. You fit into this world and the afterworld by being the biggest creature in your pond. Although the Alligator is a very ancient proud animal, secretive Snakes still disturb her. Perhaps other reptiles make the Alligator ill at ease. In any case they may make a meal.

Second Heaven is associated with the twelfth house, and for you this is called Second Heaven Rabbit. This means you can be unable to acknowledge your fears, and you may be greatly overconfident. Your movements are almost always very obvious to other animals, unless you use your ability to lurk in the Below Realm. Your weakness is this lack of humility, and Rabbit types may be your secret enemies in the Middle Realm of ordinary folks. Second Heaven is very much a potential obstacle in your quest for the Highest or Seventh Heaven.


Third Heaven is associated with the eleventh house, and for you this is called Third Heaven Songbirds. This gives natural sharp senses, versatility and humor, and friends who have these qualities.

Fourth Heaven is associated with the seventh house, and for you this is called Fourth Heaven Otter. If, in life, one makes it through the First Three Heavens, then one can fully encounter someone else in a relationship that, at first, seems like the final goal of the soul's evolution. Opposites both attract and repel, and in the Fourth Heaven you encounter your opposite, the Otter, a Healer Medicine Animal. When you develop patience and introspective ability, it probably comes from your learning through relationship. When this level is achieved it feels like the highest heaven, but it is not - it is just the powerful reconciliation of opposites. For Alligator to develop the patient inward looking qualities of Otter is the great step toward self integration.

Fifth Heaven is associated with the eighth house, and for you this is called Fifth Heaven Panther. This is a level of self growth that can be perilous for it is a place where one can encounter enemies and danger. Here you encounter the energies within yourself that encourage enmity with others, and for you the potential enmity is with the Panther. Alligator and Panther are both predators with a completely different approach. Your desire to dominate inspires resentment among those who must be more subtle to be successful. Remember that they too are intelligent, and are usually much more able to move in the night and the Middle Realm than you will ever be.

Sixth Heaven is associated with the ninth house, and for you this is called Sixth Heaven Red Hawk. As you near your high goal of finally achieving stability, you gradually develop more and more foresight and can focus on longer range goals as you educate yourself.

Seventh Heaven is associated with the midheaven or tenth house, a place of great soul integration and balance for you. By the time you reach this point of growth, you have dealt with the balance of Alligator and Otter for some time and have also begun to realize the hidden weaknesses of Snake that lie deep within you. Seventh Heaven Beaver represents your achievement of stability, industry and responsibility, which for most Alligator Rising people is an elusive goal.

Mouse is the partner Guardian of Alligator but they work and live in entirely different realms. Not really knowing one another, yet they can live together well.

Alligator gets along well with Red Hawk and Elk, all of whom have strong aggressive qualities. Alligator also gets along well with Songbirds and appreciates their insect control. Bear also gets along alright with Alligator as they both are frequently fishing and are of comparable strength.

Alligator clashes with Rabbit or Deer only seldom, staying in separate realms. Panther and Alligator likewise seldom conflict but it is quite a fight when they do.

Alligator's worst conflicts are with Otter as they compete in the Lower Realm underwater for fish and crustaceans. Otter finds the Alligator to be arrogant and power-hungry, while Alligator finds Otter to be very annoying, and Otter sometimes becomes Alligator's lunch. Snake and Beaver also clash with Alligator in the underwater Lower realm and frequently end up as her dinner too. Otter or Snake may eat Alligator's eggs at times in revenge, and Beaver may disturb Alligator's nests. Alligator does not like the way Beaver changes the water level, disturbing the fishing.

Sun Sextile Asc.:

The rising or strongly aspected Sun encourages the dominance of the fire element in your personality. Naturally radiant and generous in personality, you probably like to be rather dominant as well. It might be said you have a sunny personality. Such a strong Sun at birth is one good factor for optimism, health and vitality.

The Sun is seen as female in Tsalaki tradition, a mother figure associated with Selu or Corn. She is angry when it becomes too hot, but normally she smiles on all the plant life and thus produces food for the people and animals.

This solar position is known as Sun in the First Heaven in the Tsalaki tradition. Sun in First Heaven people are very involved in the First Heaven which is intimately close to this, the Middle Realm. First Heaven is the personal space that people make in and around themselves, or their personality and personal environment. It is the realm of immediate cause and effect, so naturally people born with Sun here have a strong influence on their immediate environment. Their First Heaven energies can overwhelm the First Heaven qualities of others. First Heaven is a strong place from which to influence the world. All information later in the report regarding the Sun, and its Moon or season, is greatly emphasized.

Jupiter Trine Asc.:

The rising or strongly aspected Older Relative Star (Jupiter) encourages you to be corpulent, optimistic, expansive, and inclusive. You may be prone to obesity or excess tissue. All information later in the report regarding the Older Relative is greatly emphasized.

MERCURY - THE YOUNGER RELATIVE

Mercury is known as the Younger Relative and deals with the functions that children perform in traditional society: communication and helpfulness. It also relates to that mental part of us that is inquisitive and that learns, so the position of Younger Relative tells us about how someone learns, remembers and communicates. The Younger Relative, like the Winged Serpent, is never very far away from the Sun.

Mercury in Mouse Place (Mercury in Virgo)

The Younger Relative was with Mouse when you were born, giving Mouse qualities to the mind and communication style. Mouse is nonaggressive and always keeps moving or hiding to protect itself and its little store of snacks. Mouse dwells in the Middle Realm of Fire in Earth. The mice may be monogamous animals for a season, and do not travel far from home. You have many Mouse qualities such as a tendency to store things away and categorize them, whether in an organized or chaotic fashion. Collection, organization and attention to detail can be your strong points.

Mouse is unassertive and is very polite. His voice is careful and considerate. Sometimes he has something in his mouth when he speaks, for it is very difficult for him to keep his mouth or his hands still. He is always checking, checking.

Mercury Conjunct Saturn:

Younger Relative Star and the Ordeal Star were in close interaction when you were born. This brings a certain degree of coldness or caution in communication style and expression. Communication difficulties, difficulty with humor or with children, and also difficulty with energy levels result.

THE WINGED SERPENT AS MORNING OR EVENING STAR

Venus is known as Quetzalcoatl, Quetzal or Winged Serpent. It tells us about the creative, passionate, associative, sensual, aesthetic and pattern-seeking part of a person. The Quetzal is a beautiful Central American green bird with very long tail feathers that trail behind it like a serpent as it flies. In the reconciliation of the solunar calendar, Winged Serpent gives us a reference point for a longer cycle. Quetzal, the Winged Serpent, known to tribes all over the continent, is about harmonizing Red Hawk and Dark Serpent energies to seek a higher level which is no longer predatory.

The Winged Serpent, like the Younger Relative, is never very far from the Sun, although he may be found as much as two Medicine Animals (the equivalent of Western Astrology's signs) away on the Medicine Wheel. Winged Serpent appears as either a Morning Star or as an Evening Star, and may appear to be close to the Sun and thus unlikely to be seen, or may appear to be further away, thus appearing high in the eastern dawn or western dusk.

The appearance of Venus as Morning Star at the time of someone's birth is traditionally considered to be indicative of an individual who uses the momentum of the created universe for their own purposes. Such an individual is considered to be a "young soul", still gathering experiences and powers. Morning Star People can have powerful creative abilities, but can sometimes get caught up in selfish activities. They may confuse their own impulses with what is good for the tribe, community, or planet as a whole, and they may also confuse others who mistakenly become their followers. A small number of Morning Star People fall into the path of selfish conjuring, leading ultimately to their downfall. Morning Star People can be very charismatic before they finally burn out. They can also learn self-restraint and can be very creative people.

Evening Star People, on the other hand, are more "experienced souls" who are on the path of Return to Spirit. This does not make them any better or worse than Morning Star People, but there is a different depth of motive in their actions and attitudes. A small number of Evening Star People are highly experienced older souls who although already returning to Great Spirit, offer their experience unselfishly for the benefit of their people. These older souls are very seldom recognized by the general public, who seem to prefer the more dazzling charisma of Morning Star leadership.

Great importance is placed on Venus, the Winged Serpent, its position in the Heavens and among the Animal Guardians, and most importantly, whether in the Morning Star or Evening Star phase.


Venus as Morning Star - Direct Motion

The appearance of the Winged Serpent Venus as Morning Star at the time of your birth would be traditionally considered to be indicative of an individual who uses the momentum of the created universe for their own purposes. Such an individual is considered to be a "young soul", still gathering experiences and powers. Morning Star People can have powerful creative abilities, but can sometimes get caught up in selfish activities. They may confuse their own impulses with what is good for the tribe, community, or planet as a whole, and they may also confuse others who mistakenly become their followers. A small number of Morning Star People fall into the path of selfish conjuring, leading ultimately to their downfall. Morning Star People can be very charismatic before they finally burn out. They can also learn self-restraint and can be very creative people.

Venus was moving in direct motion, back toward the Sun, at the time of your birth. Most of your selfish social exchanges are in accord with a greater purpose whether you are conscious of it or not, so the "karmic cost" of your ticket for this phase may not be as great. This makes self-restraint a bit easier for you.

Venus in Mouse Place (Venus in Virgo)

Winged Serpent was with Mouse when you were born, and this brings the challenge of channeling the Quetzal's magnetism through the small world of the Mouse. Mouse is nonaggressive and always keeps moving or hiding to protect itself and its little store of snacks. Quetzal Mouse is vulnerable to cycles of excessive self-control alternating with bingeing or over-indulgence. Mouse dwells in the Middle Realm of Fire in Earth and the Winged Serpent (Quetzal) can feel a bit trapped here. If you can let the Mouse energies refine the creativity of Winged Serpent, then moderation in all things, even moderation in moderation, becomes possible, to your great relief. Remember that restriction or denial is not moderation.

The mice may be monogamous animals for a season, and do not travel far from home. You have many Mouse qualities that come from the Lesser Harvest Moon, such as a tendency to store things away and categorize them, whether in an organized or chaotic fashion.

Venus Conjunct Mars:

The Winged Serpent and the Red Eagle are closely associated within your being. This gives very strong sexual energy, creativity and social assertiveness. Emotions and sexuality are very intense, putting stress on the autonomic nerve system and above all the sexual organs.

MARS - THE RED EAGLE

Mars is known as Red Eagle, Red Hawk or Red Condor in various North American tribes, or sometimes as the Fire Star. Red Eagle is the heat of the survival instinct which is often predatory and aggressive. The warrior qualities it brings were often appreciated by the very strongly ritualized Native American warriors.

Mars in Alligator Place (Mars in Leo)

The Red Hawk Star (also known as the Red Eagle or Condor) was with the Alligator when you were born. Alligator has great aggressive strength, but is very slow to be provoked unless its family is threatened. Alligator or Tsulaski dwells in the Below Realm of Fire, and is also the Guardian of Heart and Circulation Herbs in Kvniakati herbal medicine. The alligators are promiscuous animals or nearly so, and pretty much stay in the same pond their entire territorial lives. The Wolf and the Fox are sometimes associated with this direction. You have many Alligator qualities that come from the Below Realm of Fire, giving social circulation and entertainment skills and temporal leadership. Excess of fire can rise into the head from overaccumulation in the heart, causing attitudes of arrogance or self-importance and an overly dramatic, fiery temper.

JUPITER - THE OLDER RELATIVE

Jupiter is known as the Older Relative and is considered as a source of guidance and wisdom, called Poia by the Blackfeet and other Algonquian tribes.

Jupiter in Red Hawk Place (Jupiter in Aries)

Older Relative was with Red Hawk when you were born. Older Relative brings gifts from Red Hawk. You have many Red Hawk qualities that come from the Above Realm of Fire, and your impulsive headstrong activities can be especially fiery. Excess haste or ruthlessness can be a problem for you, but you have vision, enterprise, leadership and drive in abundance. Growth and expansion of social and business contacts is a natural ability for you. Red Hawk (Yohiegigagei) is aggressive and has excellent vision, dwelling in the Above Realm of Fire, and is also the Guardian of Warming Plants and Stimulants in Kvniakati herbal medicine.

Jupiter Opposition Saturn:

Older Relative and Ordeal Star were in close interaction when you were born, bringing long-term generational and political issues into your life. Many things happen in seven-year cycles and lecithin/cholesterol metabolism defects can result from the stressful combination. The usually generous, magnanimous energies of the Older Relative and the Councils of Elders are restricted or restrained by the Ordeal Star. The Medicine Animals of the Elder Relative and Ordeal Stars, already described, give further insight into the nature of this inner relationship.

SATURN - THE ORDEAL STAR

Saturn is known as the Ordeal Star or Sickness Star. Ordeals were considered preferable to sickness and could stave off misfortunes by a kind of atonement. Meeting one's ordeals has always been considered an essential part of indigenous people's life, and a great source of learning and strength.

Saturn in Bear Place (Saturn in Libra)

The Ordeal Star was with the Bear when you were born. Your Ordeal, like others born in the same two and one half year period, is with the Black Bear in the Tsulawi tradition. Bear (Yanu) is nonaggressive unless insulted or intruded upon, and has poor vision but excellent sense of smell and intuition. Dwelling in the Middle Realm of Water in Air, Bear is also the Guardian of Kidney Plants in Kvniakati herbal medicine. The bears are all monogamous for a season, then they angrily avoid their mates. They do not usually travel very far and are often solitary. You have many Bear qualities and weaknesses that come from the Middle Realm of the Gate of Sleep and Death, the place of Judgment. Lethargy, indecision or introverted withdrawal may be a problem for you, but you have reflection, intuition, dream power and usually patience in abundance.

OTHER INFLUENCES

Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and other outer or otherwise invisible planets are not used in our traditional astrology which is observational in its methods. For the same reasons, what is known as the second through sixth houses are not consulted, as they are below the horizon and thus not visible or measurable except by inference. All below-the-horizon bodies, and what are considered second through sixth house functions, are considered to be associated with the hidden self. Many aspects and qualities of below-the-horizon planets are remembered or inferred from what was recently visible.

Native American astrologers used a number of stars and constellations in their interpretations as well. Many tribes considered themselves to be at least partially descended from Pleiadians or Syrians.

In your chart none of the fixed stars Aldebaran, Sirius, Castor and Pollux, Spica, Antares, Altair, Pleiades, or Fomalhaut is conjunct a planet used in Native American Astrology.
