Sun Bear’s Medicine Wheel Vision
“So many people today do not hear the Earth, yet she is talking to us all the time. The Earth is talking to us, but most people have become deaf to her voice. When people see me call for the rains, they think it is super-natural, but in fact it is perfectly natural. I encourage people to begin their day by thanking Creator for the gift of life and the beauty all around. In this way they can begin to hear and feel the natural world once again.” Sun Bear, Black Dawn, Bright Day 1992.

Earth Astrology Zodiac - Check it out to see what your totem animal is! We have a power pac ‘Dreamcatcher Talisman Charm’ for each sign as well as individual Powered Homeopathic Charms for each of the 12 animals.
Earth Astrology is based on the changes of seasons on the Earth whereas Western Astrology is governed by the planetary realm. It is actually “a system of life understanding” based on the Medicine Wheel Vision of Sun Bear. It is your birth time that determines your beginning totems in the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms. However, these totems will change as you travel around the Wheel on your individual journey. The dates for the signs are the same as in Cosmic Astrology except for Raven and Snake which are one day apart from the cosmic Western Astrology we are familiar with. (Raven is Sept 23-Oct 23 whereas Libra is Sept 23-Oct 22; Snake is Oct 24- Nov 21 whereas Scorpio is Oct 23- Nov 21. So Capricorn is Snow Goose; Aquarius is Otter; Pisces is Cougar; Aries is Red Hawk; Taurus is Beaver; Gemini is Deer; Cancer is Flicker; Leo is Sturgeon; Virgo is Brown Bear; Libra is Raven ( unless born on Oct 23); Scorpio is Snake unless born on Oct 23) ; Sagittarius is Elk.
