Born between 23 November and 21 December? On the medicine wheel as Sun Bear set it down, your birth totem is the Elk — the wheel’s winter strength.

Born between 23 October and 22 November? On the medicine wheel as Sun Bear set it down, your birth totem is the Snake — the wheel’s transformer, and the only totem that dies to its own skin on schedule and files it under maintenance. Your month is the season of the thinning veil, when whole…
Born between 22 September and 22 October? On the medicine wheel as Sun Bear set it down, your birth totem is the Raven — keeper of the year’s balancing point. Your month opens on the autumn equinox, when light and dark hold exactly equal weight, and the wheel gave that threshold to the one bird…

Born between 21 May and 20 June? On the medicine wheel as Sun Bear set it down, your birth totem is the Deer — the wheel’s grace, placed in the last, brightest stretch of spring. Grace, in every tradition that tells deer stories, means one particular thing: the power that cannot be taken by force,…
Born between 20 April and 20 May? On the medicine wheel as Sun Bear set it down, your birth totem is the Beaver — the wheel’s builder, placed in the sweet heart of spring when the year stops announcing plans and starts pouring foundations.

Born between 21 March and 19 April? On the medicine wheel as Sun Bear set it down, your birth totem is the Red Hawk — the wheel’s first fire, stationed at the spring equinox, where the year stops deliberating and starts. So do you. That is rather the point of you. Where the Red Hawk…
