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
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

The Above Realm is the world of
the sky, the mind, fire and air. Red Hawk and

has some power here through his ally the Owl who has power in the Above Realm
at night.

the East, the primary direction.

SUN AND MOON
Sun is considered
Sun in
The Tsalaki
Moon of Middle Spring, when you were born, is called AniSgvti
("The Seeds") or Planting Moon. It
corresponds
Planting Moon People are born
when food is available but everyone must work hard
The Sun Guardian of this Moon
is the Beaver and yellow is its color. Beaver is
pragmatic and constructive, building the dams that filter the waters of the
wilderness, making a home for itself and its family and many other creatures
besides. Beaver dwells in the Middle Realm of Wood in
Earth, and is capable of going in
The Elk is the partner of the
Beaver, and sometimes the two animals cooperate in managing the flow of streams
for mutual benefit.
Mouse, Deer and Rabbit people
are harmonious with Beaver people as all go about their business. 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.
Otter is a nuisance
Red Hawk and Beaver are seldom
a problem for each other. Songbirds and Bear also get
along alright with Beaver.
Moon in
The Moon was with the Deer
Hunter when you were born. Deer Hunter is vulnerable
Emotionally, here is how you
relate
The Deer is the partner
Guardian of the Songbirds, and the two animals are often associated in nature. Some Songbirds eat the insect pests that bother the Deer,
and warn the Deer of danger. The Deer likewise offer
some protection
Panther's relationship with
Deer is an intimate preda
Deer knows that only a small
number of Snakes are really dangerous. Snake often
gets along well with Deer, at least some kinds of Snakes do. Snake
and Deer have a special relationship and they guard the Ginseng plants
Elk and Deer are natural
competi
Mouse and Beaver get along very
well and peacefully with Deer as they all go about their business and warn one
another of danger. Sometimes they share food with each
other.
Bear and Red Hawk are fearsome
Rabbit is very spooky
Moon Trine Mercury:
The Moon Hunter and the Younger
Relative are closely associated within your being, giving you much mental
imagination and emotional communicativeness.
Moon Square Jupiter:
The Moon Hunter and the Older
Relative are closely associated within your being, encouraging you
Moon Opposition Saturn:
The Moon Hunter and the Ordeal
Star are closely associated within your being. You are
rather an emotional loner, appreciative of solitude, and you may also be very
periodically moody or depressed. Emotional insecurity
and fears may periodically affect you strongly. Water
imbalances in the body are related
THE SEVEN HEAVENS
The Ascendant is known as
the First Heaven position and tells us about the relationship of the person
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
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 res

The Guardian of your Ascendant
in the Tsalaki tradition is the Trickster Rabbit and
white is its color. For many tribes across the
continent, the Coyote is the Trickster animal of the South, while for the Tsistsista (

is also the Guardian of Soothing Digestive and Milk-Producing Herbs. This includes Pearly Everlasting, Sweet Root, Fennel Seed,
and Slippery Elm. These grow in the thickets and
meadows of the Rabbit.

skeptically deny its deep introspective abilities and unnecessarily fear Death. The Rabbit approach governs the First Heaven position and

Second Heaven is associated with
the twelfth house, and for you this is called Second Heaven Songbirds. This means you can be unable
Third Heaven is associated with
the eleventh house, and for you this is called Third Heaven Beaver. This gives natural industry and resignation, and friends
who have these qualities.
Fourth Heaven is associated
with the seventh house, and for you this is called Fourth Heaven Deer. 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 Deer. When you develop a
Fifth Heaven is associated with
the eighth house, and for you this is called Fifth Heaven Otter. 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 your partner animal the Otter. Otter is much more of a taker of risks than you will ever
be. Remember that those who move in a way that you
would consider dangerously reckless may present a hazard
Sixth Heaven is associated with
the ninth house, and for you this is called Sixth Heaven Panther. As you near your high goal of finally achieving a state of
energy and dynamism, you gradually develop more and more of your natural
subtlety and more capacity for aggression 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 Rabbit and Deer
for some time and have also begun
The partner Guardian of Rabbit
is Otter, both of whom can be evasive and unpredictable. Otter
has a better sense of humor and is less sensitive and passionate than Rabbit. The two get along at times still.

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

brings a certain hyperexcitability of the nerves and

this energy may be erratic.
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
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
The appearance of Venus as
Morning Star at the time of someone's birth is traditionally considered
Evening Star People, on the
other hand, are more "experienced souls" who are on the path of
Return
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
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
Venus in
Winged Serpent was with
Songbirds when you were born, and this brings a delightful dance of volatility
that is more copasetic than a combination of potentially chaotic winged beings
usually can be. Creativity goes in many directions,
and social communication graces are shining though 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.
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
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 preda

the Red Eagle or Condor) was with the Alliga
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 Bear Place (Jupiter in Libra)
Older Relative was with Bear
when you were born, and this brings a strong sense of harmony and indulgent
good will
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. Older
Relative Bears are cautious, polite and thorough. They

Ordeal Star or Sickness Star. Ordeals were considered
preferable
Saturn in
The Ordeal Star was with the
Rabbit when you were born. Your Ordeal, like others
born in the same two and one half year period, is with the Trickster Rabbit. For many tribes across the continent, the Coyote is the
