Indian zodiac signs: which one are you?

You can't do anything with astrology? Or don't you get enough of it? Either way: What Indian zodiac signs reveal about you and your loved ones could open your eyes!

How do Indian zodiac signs differ from ours?

Actually everyone – including the Indians – believes that the universe is involved in our lives in some way and influences our fate. But while we look at the starsto learn more about the effects of universal forces on our happiness (and horoscope) the indigenous peoples of North America the all-important answers are far more obvious: In the nature, their immediate environment.

What are Indian zodiac signs based on?

Much like we assume that the constellation of the stars rubs off on our personality at the time of our birth, North American natives assume that the state of nature when we first saw light shapes us for a lifetime.

To determine our Indian zodiac sign (or birth totem, since it has nothing to do with the stars), is exactly the same as with the categories we are familiar with the time of year, i.e. the day on which we were born – with which an Indian zodiac sign tends to be more accessible to us than Chinese zodiac signs, in which the year of birth decides on the assignment.

  • Goose (December 22nd – January 19th)

For the Indians, that's the one Animals that best represent the season of the year assigned to themand rub off their properties on the people with the respective totems. Every Indian zodiac sign is in the so-called Medicine wheel anchored with which the shamans the infinite circle represent into which, according to Indian beliefs, we are all born.

Indian zodiac signs and their meanings

Goose (December 22nd – January 19th)

The goose or snow goose, which predominantly overlaps with our ibex, is characterized above all by Ambition and determination out. This also gives rise to some of their strengths – for example Perseverance, patience, pragmatism and reliability – but of course also challenges. Some geese and their social environment occasionally suffer from being right stubborn others find it difficult to change and adapt.

Otter (January 20th – February 18th)

Above all else, otters are: creative! They love to create and shape something and nothing beats theirs personal freedom. So it's no wonder that they are often ahead of their time and more often offend – and if one or the other Aquarius nods in agreement: Yes, for Indians you are otters.

Wolf (February 19 – March 20)

An unscrupulous predator? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! Indians see the wolf primarily as a sensitive, prudent and fair. At the same time he is adaptable and potentially manipulative – because he can feel so good about his fellow human beings that he could theoretically influence them. Wolves are something sometimes torn back and forthbetween herGood nature and theirs, which are also quite pronounced Instinct for self-realization. With us, the Indian wolf totem is predominantly the fish.

Falke (March 21st – April 19th)

As a hawk (or hawk) you like to press on tempo. Waiting for others? You don't have the patience for that. Nevertheless, you can really get your fellow human beings carried away and motivate them, and since you usually also have the overview most like to be with you to lead. As an Aries you could find yourself there …?!

Beaver (April 20th – May 20th)

The beaver is not so good at letting go, but in the positive reverse this means that he loyal, hardworking and persistent is. You can rely on Biber, because she too want reliability and security of their environment. The horoscopes of the beaver should largely coincide with those of a Taurus.

Hirsch (May 21 – June 20)

The deer, the crown of creation – oh no, that was someone else … But deer definitely have what it takes, because they are considered to be intelligent, approachable, communicative and very social. Do you remember anyone Then you probably know someone whose zodiac sign is Gemini.

Woodpecker (June 21 – July 22)

Woodpeckers are caring and compassionate, Friends and family always come first for her. However, a woodpecker can sometimes moody and quite demanding to his fellow woodpeckers … uh … to be fellow human beings. Similarities to the prototype cancer are probably no coincidence.

Salmon (July 23rd – August 22nd)

To swim against the current, you have to be pretty tough idiosyncratic – like salmon (also sturgeon), which according to Indian experience primarily independent and self-determined goes his way. Problem: He gets a lot every now and then arrogantanddetermining over. Well, and someone like that roars in our ears as a lion from time to time …

Brown Bear (23 August – 22 September)

As a bear you are close to nature and have one very special relationship with the environment as well as one extraordinary sense of their order. Just as everything has its meaningful place in nature, you always want to be in your life everything structured and tidy to have. For others it is sometimes exaggerated and pea-counting before – just typically Virgo, right ?!

Raven (September 23rd – October 22nd)

The raven (or the crow) is very clever and communicative, but he never uses his skills to make others dance to his tune or to harm them. Instead, he mostly uses them to convey and to settle disputes, he's a Master of Diplomacy. It's a shame that this is sometimes exploited by the balanced being of the raven – just like that of the Libra – some could learn something …

Snake (October 24th – November 22nd)

Fear of snakes? Maybe because she is so unfathomable and mysterious work, just like the scorpion. But if you take the time to gain the trust of a snake, you will find that behind the unapproachable facade there is a loyal soul who knows a lot about life and how to make something magical out of a moment.

Owl (November 22nd – December 21st)

Of course: the owls clever and wise are also known by the Indians. In addition, the night bird is considered to be in Indian culture freedom-lovingand just, it usually captures the essence and essence of a thing particularly well. And our counterpart, the Sagittarius? He will surely recognize the parallels – if you believe the Indians …

Interesting: Although the Indians read nature and we read the stars, the meanings of Indian animal symbols have a lot in common with the corresponding horoscopes of our astrology. Is that a sign? Maybe everything in our universe is actually somehow connected …
