Medicine Wheel
Native American Astrology

A traditional Native American astrology program by Randall Cole
Roffe, for natal charts; based on the Kvniakati Tsulawi Medicine
Wheel tradition of the Southern Shawnee and Cherokee, with some
references to the traditions of other North American tribes.

Dr. Roffe is a direct descendant of the Chickamaugan Tsulawi
Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Southern Shawnee Kvniakati
practitioners. He is not a member of any currently Federally
recognized tribal entity.

MEDICINE WHEEL ANIMALS:

1. Red Hawk (Aries)
2. Beaver (Taurus)
3. Songbirds (Gemini)
4. Rabbit (Cancer) (Coyote - other tribes)
5. Alligator (Leo)
6. Mouse (Virgo)
7. Bear (Libra)
8. Snake (Scorpio)
9. Elk (Sagittarius)
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 Panther Place = Windy Moon (Sun in Pisces)

The Tsalaki Moon of Late Winter is called Anvyi or Windy
Moon. It corresponds to the Northeast direction and to predawn.
At this time of year nature is preparing for spring and many
hidden forces are at work. People born in this Moon have great
hidden potentials, and others find them difficult to predict.

Windy Moon People are very passionate and sensual, yet
sensitive and spiritual, and are very changeable. They like to
exert hidden influence and may dislike directness. They develop
their subtle senses at an early age, partly because food is
scarce when they are born. They grow up in their first year with
the growth of the seasons, and this gives them mystical senses.
They are often easily influenced yet they can be impossible to
persuade. They like to be swept away and are susceptible to very
powerful urges and habits.

The Sun Guardian of this Moon is the Panther in the
Tsulawi tradition. Panther is aggressive, passionate and is a
fearsome predator. Dwelling in the Middle Realm of Water, the
Panther can also go into the Below Realm, and moves mostly at
night or twilight. Panther is also the Guardian of Vision Plants
and Plants that Nourish the Blood and the Bladder in the
Kvniakati herbal medicine tradition. The Panthers are
promiscuous, sometimes monogamous for a season, then they
angrily avoid their mates. They may travel very far although
they often stay very local and are always very solitary unless
mating. You have many Panther qualities that come from the
hidden realms of Water and Night. Your dreamy nature inclines to
fluid accumulation and large eyes.

The partner Guardian of Panther is Bear, 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.

Panther can be a problem for Otter but usually they
ignore each other and are out at different times. Panther and
Alligator likewise seldom conflict but it is quite a fight when
they do. Panther may find Red Hawk to be bothersome, but is
essentially unconcerned; they are of different realms.

Panther's relationship with Deer is an intimate
predator-prey. Deer fears Panther but succumbs to his hypnotic
gaze, and Panther respects Deer who is also strong and a good

fighter.

Panther is one of the few predators that Elk fears, and
Elk can quickly become frightened under Panther's hypnotic gaze.
Yet Elk is certainly large and strong enough to give Panther a
good fight, and fight they often will.

Panther also is wily like Snake and they observe and
learn stealth from one another and sometimes cooperate in the
hunt.

Panther is a fearsome enemy to Mouse because he is such
an easily obtained little morsel or snack for the big cat, who
is also able to dig up Mouse's holes. There are diseases that
the Mouse can give the Panther though.

Although Panther is a natural predator enemy of Rabbit,
Rabbit loves to try to outwit Panther and considers him the
ultimate challenge to try to trick, next to Snake. The funny
thing is, Rabbit actually likes to be chased.

Panther is a silent predatory threat to the Songbirds
and he does not like the warnings that Songbirds give to other
animals, ruining his hunting.

Panther people may prey upon Beaver but Beaver is
usually safe from Panther. Beaver's dam and water hole is a
favorite hunting spot for Panther.

Moon in Snake Place (Moon in Scorpio)

The Moon was with the Snake Hunter when you were born.
Snake or Inadv is nonaggressive unless intruded upon but then
can be very vengeful. Snake Hunter has probably been bitten
already. Dwelling in the Below Realm of Fire in Water, Snake is
also the Guardian of Reproductive System Plants and the Wedding
Basket (uterus or prostate) in Kvniakati herbal medicine. The
snakes are promiscuous animals and do not travel much. You have
many Snake qualities that come from the Below Realm of Fire in
Water, the realm of the gene pool, reproduction and the
afterlife of the ancestors. Secretiveness, ruthlessness or
vengefulness may sometimes be a problem for you, but you have
quiet determination. You may also have fluid accumulation in
pelvis, abdomen and sex organs.

Snake Hunter has been once bitten, twice shy. He is a
cautious yet compulsive risk taker. He is not often respected by
the tribe for bringing back much of any usefulness, as the
people usually do not eat the Snake or use its powerful
medicine. The powers that Snake Hunter obtains are kept secret
because they can hurt others. The vengeance of Snake upon Snake
Hunter can be severe.

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

Red Hawk is the partner Guardian of Snake, but they do
not usually get along so well, Red Hawk usually having the upper
hand or talon. They are keen on the same prey and are known to
cooperate at times. Still, Snake can eat Red Hawk's eggs and Red

Hawk can eat Snake for dinner.

Rabbit is a bit big for Snake to eat and they understand
each other's wiles. Panther also is wily like Snake and they
observe and learn stealth from one another and sometimes
cooperate in the hunt.

Mouse and Deer get along well enough with Snake and they
know that only a small number of Snakes are really dangerous.
Snake often gets along well with Mouse, at least some kinds of
Snakes do, but other kinds of Snakes love to use a Mouse, taking
over his home or eating him. One kind of Mouse knows how to get
revenge. The Snake helps the Corn Maiden keep the grain free
from the Mouse. Snake and Deer have a special relationship and
they guard the Ginseng plants together. Snake just tries to
steer clear from Bear or Elk but follows in their wake looking
for food.

Relations between Songbirds and Snake are sometimes
neutral but often difficult as Snake may like to eat the
Songbirds' eggs. Being of different realms, they often do not
encounter one another closely.

Otter, Beaver and Alligator all resent Snake's
slithering through their private nests and can be spooked by
him. Otter and especially Alligator may have a Snake for lunch.

Sun aspects Waning Moon

When you were born the Medicine Animal of the season of
the year (Sun) was stronger than the Medicine Animal of the
Hunter (Moon). The Medicine Animal of the Sun tends to dominate
the Medicine Animal of the Moon. This has the effect of giving
you a tendency to fluid decrease, a drier metabolism, and head
and heart conflicts with the head or reason ruling.
Consequently, you are less restless at night than are the full
moon or waxing moon hunters. You tend to want to conserve your
vital energies rather than expend them unnecessarily.

Sun Conjunct Mercury:

Nervous tension and an overwhelmed subjective mind can
be problems for you, although you are mentally very active. The
Sun and the Younger Relative are closely associated within your
being. It frequently may be difficult for you to maintain
objectivity. This may be because the Younger Relative is greatly
overwhelmed by the Sun and yet is always "whispering in the
Sun's ear".

Moon Trine Mercury:

The Moon Hunter and the Younger Relative are closely
associated within your being, giving you much mental imagination
and emotional communicativeness.

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 Snake Place (Asc. in Scorpio)

The Guardian of your Ascendant is the Snake in the
Kvniakati Tsulawi tradition, and its color is dark red. Snake or
Inadv is nonaggressive unless intruded upon but then can be very
vengeful. Snake dwells in the Below Realm of Fire in Water. The
snakes are promiscuous animals and do not travel much. You have
many Snake qualities that come from the Below Realm of Fire in
Water, the realm of the gene pool, reproduction and the
afterlife of the ancestors. Ruthlessness or vengefulness may
sometimes be a problem for you, but you have quiet
determination.

Snake is slender and sinuously graceful in a sometimes
sinister way, with hypnotic eyes and a darting tongue. There is
a strong natural competitiveness that is subtly aggressive in
its physical posture. When threatened Snake people hiss and puff
up. They have a very languorous posture when relaxed.

Snake is also the Guardian of Reproductive System Plants
and the Wedding Basket (uterus or prostate) in Kvniakati herbal
medicine. This includes plants like the various types of
Ginseng, Spikenard, the various types of Cohoshes, Teasel,
Damiana, Peony, Sarsaparilla, Trillium or Birth Root, Wild Yam
and Saw Palmetto Berries. These form the thick underbrush where
the Snake glides.

With Snake Rising, Otter qualities are submerged in the
Lower Realms of the inner self, and Snake may deny its playful,
sociable and tolerant side. The Snake approach governs the First
Heaven position and tells us about your relationship to all
Seven Heavens of human ideation. First Heaven Snake tells us
that your aspiration is to demonstrate your subtle, penetrating
and persuasive power of the Lower Realm of unconscious fears in
the Middle Realm of everyday justice. You fit into this world
and the afterworld by going unnoticed, by moving quietly and
decisively, and by not hesitating.

Second Heaven is associated with the twelfth house, and
for you this is called Second Heaven Bear. This means you can be
unable to forgive and forget, and your resentments may betray
your movements to your prey or opponents. Your weakness is this
lack of accomodation, and unsecretive and forgetful Bear types
may be your secret enemies in the Middle World. 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 Mouse. This gives a natural
ability to camouflage and lay low. Your friends, who sometimes
become your prey, have these same qualities.

Fourth Heaven is associated with the seventh house, and
for you this is called Fourth Heaven Beaver. 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 Beaver. When you develop true industry and
determination, 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 Snake to develop the reliable
and happy productivity of Beaver, free of vengefulness or
obsession, is the great step toward self integration.

Fifth Heaven is associated with the eighth house, and
for you this is called Fifth Heaven Songbirds. 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 chattering Songbirds
that alert other creatures to your plans. Your desire for the
eggs of others can create serious resentments.

Sixth Heaven is associated with the ninth house, and for
you this is called Sixth Heaven Rabbit. As you near your high
goal of finally achieving real power, you gradually develop more
and more sensitivity and maneuverability when you learn what it
is like to be preyed upon 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 Snake and Beaver for some time and have also begun to
realize the hidden weaknesses of Otter that lie deep within you.

Seventh Heaven Alligator represents your achievement of size and
strength, beyond the grasp of other predators, which for most
Snake Rising people is an elusive goal.

Rabbit is a bit big for Snake to eat and they understand
each other's wiles. Panther also is wily like Snake and they
observe and learn stealth from one another and sometimes
cooperate in the hunt.

Otter, Beaver and Alligator all resent Snake's
slithering through their private nests and can be spooked by
him. Otter and especially Alligator may have a Snake for lunch.

Mars Trine Asc.:

The rising or strongly aspected Red Eagle (Mars)
encourages you to be athletic, muscular or aggressive. You may
be somewhat more prone to injury or violence, but have great
warrior qualities that can be a real asset. All information
later in the report regarding the Red Eagle is greatly
emphasized.

Saturn Square Asc.:

The rising or strongly aspected Ordeal Star (Saturn)
encourages you to be thin, serious, pessimistic, prone to cold
or inflexibility, dryness or dehydration. Inability to relax,
insomnia, forgetfulness, brooding are all signs of poor calcium
metabolism. Many other physiologic processes may be slowed. All
information later in the report regarding the Ordeal Star 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 Panther Place (Mercury in Pisces)

The Younger Relative was with Panther when you were
born, giving Panther qualities as well as lassitude and
forgetfulness to the mind and communication style. Panther is
dangerous and overwhelms the Younger Relative. Dwelling in the
Middle Realm of Water, the Panther can also go into the Below
Realm, and moves mostly at night or twilight. The Panthers are
promiscuous, sometimes monogamous for a season, then they
angrily avoid their mates. They may travel very far although
they often stay very local and are always very solitary unless
mating. You have many Panther qualities in your mind and
communication style that come from the hidden realms of Water
and Night.

Panther's voice is not often heard. When it is heard, it
can be very alarming and frightening if Panther is upset. He
relies mostly upon nonverbal communication and his hypnotic
eyes, and does not gesture much at all. His voice sounds more
like we would expect the victim or prey to sound, rather than
the growl or roar of most predators. The effect is disarming.

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 Evening Star - Direct Motion

The Winged Serpent Venus appeared as an Evening Star the
day when you were born. Evening Star People are generally
considered 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.

When you were born Venus was moving in direct motion,
away from the Sun, but moving ahead of it as well. Most of your
social exchanges are in accord with greater purposes which you
may not fully recognize. You are able to respond to higher
powers than most are able to see or know. This enables you to be
able to offer much of your experience for other's benefit even
when you do not fully understand what you are sharing.
Individuals with this stellar combination would be among those
chosen for certain spiritual training to learn the ways of the
Adawehi or angelic beings.

Venus in Panther Place (Venus in Pisces)

Winged Serpent was with Panther when you were born.
Panther must be subtly aggressive and passionate and is
magnetically attractive. Dwelling in the Middle Realm of Water,
the Panther can also go into the Below Realm, and moves mostly
at night or twilight. The Panthers are promiscuous, sometimes
monogamous for a season, then they angrily avoid their mates.
They may travel very far although they often stay very local and

are always very solitary unless mating. You have many Panther
qualities that come from the hidden realms of Water and Night.
Your dreamy nature inclines to fluid accumulation and large
limpid eyes. Idealistic emotions are somehow combined with a
spiritual and sexual allure.

Venus Trine 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 Rabbit Place (Mars in Cancer)

The Red Hawk Star (also known as the Red Eagle or
Condor) was with the Trickster Rabbit when you were born. For
many tribes across the continent, the Coyote is the Trickster
animal of the South, while for the Tsistsista (Cheyenne) it is
the Mouse. Rabbit dwells in the Middle Realm of Water in Earth.
Rabbit (Tsistu) is also the Guardian of Soothing Digestive and
Milk-Producing Herbs. Tsistu has qualities of innocence,
nurturing, calming and comforting as well as trickery,
self-calming and deception. This unpredictable animal is
promiscuous but protective of its young. Rabbit also stays local
and does not travel far. You have many of the Rabbit's
qualities, and oversecurity or overcomfort may be an obstacle
for you. Red Hawk and Rabbit can have problems because Rabbit is
the Red Hawk's favored prey. Irritability, crankiness,
frustration, bottled emotions, dry sarcastic sentimentality, and
digestive and emotional disturbances often result from the
irritating effect Red Hawk has on Rabbit.

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 Songbirds Place (Jupiter in Gemini)

Older Relative was with Songbirds when you were born.
Creativity goes in many directions, and social communication
graces can become scattered and sometimes shallow. Songbirds
communicate not only among themselves, but also inform all the
other animals of the goings and doings of each other including
who is going with whom. This can devolve into gossip or too much
herdlike behavior. Tsiskwa or Songbirds are also the Guardians

of all the Respiratory Herbs.

Songbirds dwell in the Above Realm of Metal/Crystal in
Air, and are capable of distant travel though they mostly travel
a lot locally. They are usually monogamous for a season and
sometimes more, with a herdlike tendency to move in large
groups. You have many of the Songbirds' qualities, giving
relation, communication, rhythm and variety, although
scatteredness, frequent changes of loyalty or lack of focus may
be obstacles for you.

Jupiter Sextile Saturn:

Older Relative and Ordeal Star were in close interaction
when you were born, bringing longterm 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 Alligator Place (Saturn in Leo)

The Ordeal Star was with the Alligator when you were
born. Your Ordeal, like others born in the same two and one half
year period, is with 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, 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, as is
the Sturgeon in the Mdewiwin Tradition. You have many Alligator
qualities that come from the Below Realm of Fire, giving social
circulation and entertainment weaknesses and excessive temporal
leadership or a dictatorial nature. Excess of fire can rise into
the head from overaccumulation in the heart, causing attitudes
of arrogance or self-importance, coldness or hardening in the
heart.

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 Sirians.

conflict between relatives or erstwhile friends/neighbors. There
is an inclination to rivalry and competition.
