In Native American astrology, there are twelve moons and twelve signs that create the astrological system and that form the basis of your twelve-month calendar. Those twelve signs are based on the Native American medicine wheel. In this article, we will look at the first sign.

If you were born between December 22 and January 20, then your main power animal is the snow goose.

“Snow geese like everything to be perfect; they are literally fussy. They will happily spend hours picking up mosquitoes from other feathers. People born under the snow goose sign are perfectionists.” -Deborah Durbin, Simply Native American Astrology

Snow Goose Character Traits

People born under this sign are usually very practical people who want to have everything in order. They take things seriously, but they also have a pretty dry sense of humor.

If this is your sign, you are probably quite independent. And good in a crisis. You are the one people turn to when there is a crisis. They know that they can count on you to be there for them and stand your ground as they fall apart.

Sometimes you are quite cautious, but you have calm confidence and can have a very strong will. You work hard in everything you do and set standards for yourself and others that are difficult to meet. It bothers you to think that you’ve let someone down, but people let you down quite often when they don’t meet your expectations.

You are often self-critical when disappointed and expect others to be so demanding of themselves in a work setting. You expect them to work so hard and be so disciplined and when they don’t or don’t, you are disappointed.

You are likely to be very organized and very good at juggling multiple tasks at once. You are firm but fair in the way you deal with others.

Profession

There are many options for the person born under this sign. Any job that makes good use of your organizational skills would be good, and you need a job where you have the opportunity to be an authority figure.

You are good at debating, which would help you both as a lawyer and as a politician, and you would also make a good teacher.

Posting is a common choice for people with this sign. In one publishing house, nine of the ten employees were born under the snow goose sign.
