Snow Goose: Capricorn totem

Those whose birthdays fall sometime during the period of December 22^nd through January 19^th are often astrologically referred to as Capricorns.

According to astrology.com, Capricorns are "all about hard work."  This fits right in with their other two predominant characteristics:  ambition and determination.  Life to them can be "one big project" that is handled in a "businesslike" manner. Playing it safe (not flouting convention) is another way in which Capricorns climb that social ladder toward "fame, prestige and money."  This upward

tendency has long been symbolized by the Goat which ascends to the rugged mountain peaks.

Native Americans have also associated the Snow Goose with those born at the Capricorn time of year.  According to mypoweranimals.org, "Native Americans throughout time have held sacred the connection between nature, animal, and man."  Native American astrology teaches that the "birth animal totem" is the "animal spirit that you were born under."

Some of the Snow Goose astrological attributes are as follows:  banding together for the greater good, defending home and family, practicality, materialism, physical travel, spiritual quests, perfectionism and success.  The "ultimate lesson" of the Snow Goose" is the need to balance material and physical aims with

spiritual and emotional connections."
