Welcome to Lucy Harmer’s Shamanic Astrology monthly forecast for the Northern Hemisphere! Each month Lucy shares inspiration and ideas for the coming weeks from her book Shamanic Astrology: Understanding Your Spirit Animal Sign.
Shamanic Astrology is based on the study of the movement of the sun and the moon during the different seasons of the year. There are twelve astrological ”signs” which are represented by twelve different spirit animals. To find out your own personal spirit animal sign (the sign you were born under), please check the table of spirit animals at the end of this article. Shamanic Astrology teaches us that inner power derives from knowing the properties, characteristics, and qualities of each spirit animal (known as their “medicine”), and applying this in our own lives.
Each month I will focus on the spirit animal for that month, and describe the “energy” of the month itself and also the influence of the moon. I will also indicate which other spirit animal signs will find this month to be particularly beneficial, and why.
February 19 – March 20: WOLF
Month of winds and rebirth
Spirit Animal Sign of the Month:
Wolf is the spirit animal which corresponds to February 19 – March 20 (in the northern hemisphere). If you were born at this time, your spirit animal sign is Wolf and you share Wolf’s strengths of being sensitive, compassionate, generous, creative, loyal, trustworthy and imaginative. You may also share some of Wolf’s weaknesses and can have a tendency to be indecisive, secretive, evasive and lacking in willpower.
Medicine: Wolf’s medicine is the capacity to follow your intuition and instinct to protect yourself and others. To be used in any situation where you need to rely on your instinct to guide you.
Element: Water
Stone: Jade
Color: Blue/Green
Plant: Plantain
Energy of the season:
Wolf’s month is the time of winds and rebirth. The winds blow harder, but their effect is softened by the sun which gains in strength. Spring is on its way and the first appearance of flowers and buds announces the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. This brings a surge of energy and a promise of new beginnings. The winds bring transformation and rapid change. This period is ideal for developing intuition, instinct and altruism. The energy of this month is governed by generosity, hope and a renewal of energy.
Energy of the moon:
Wolf’s new moon started on February 14 and the full moon is on February 28. Wolf’s moon reinforces expression, receptivity, trust, empathy and sensuality. This is a good time to strengthen relationships and to develop empathy with others. Be aware though, as emotions run high, you may also feel slightly shaken and unsettled. The period after the full moon — from March 1 until March 14 — is a time of introspection; this is a beneficial time to delve into spiritual matters and increase inner knowledge. It is also an excellent time to uncover hidden desires and creativity. March 15 brings the new moon in Falcon; a time for new beginnings. This is an excellent time for clutter clearing — clean out those closets! It’s a time to let go of old feelings and regain a sense of joy, exuberance and optimism. This is a perfect time to exchange ideas and start new projects.
This month is particularly favorable for the following signs:
Wolf:
If your sign is Wolf the energy of this month is very favorable because it corresponds to the month and the moon of your birth. A new cycle is about to start in your life and this is the best time to start planting seeds. Use the sun’s energy to take stock and head off in a new direction.
Woodpecker/Snake:
If your sign is Woodpecker or Snake this is a very lucky month for you, with lots of harmony because you are in your own water element. A multitude of opportunities will open up for you in this period and this is the best time to give destiny a helping hand!
Beaver/Snow Goose:
For Beaver and Snow Goose people, this is a very dynamic month, full of energy which favors the conception and birth of new projects. You will feel new motivation and a renewal of your energy at this time.
Table of Spirit Animal Signs:
To find your spirit animal sign, just locate your birthday from the dates below, according to your place of birth. If you were born north of the equator (e.g., USA, Canada, Europe), then look for your date of birth in the column headed “Northern Hemisphere.” If you were born south of the equator (e.g., Australia, New Zealand, South Africa), then look for your date of birth in the column headed “Southern Hemisphere.”
