<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>WOLF</b></span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">19 February – 20 March (N. Hemisphere)</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">22 August – 21 September (S. Hemisphere)</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Birth and Animal Totem: Wolf</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Elemental Clan: Water Clan- Frog</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Personality: Compassionate.

Vague. Shy. Unsure.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Compatibilities: Woodpeckers, Brown Bears and Snakes.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wolves are sensitive, artistic and intuitive people to whom others turn for help. They value freedom and their own space, and are easily affected by others. They are philosophical, trusting and genuine.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Native American Animal Symbols ~ WOLF Birth Totem</b><a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/totem-wolf-symbols.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><br/></a> <a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/totem-wolf-symbols.html">http://www.whats-your-sign.com/totem-wolf-symbols.html</a></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Deeply emotional, and wholly passionate, the Wolf is the lover of the zodiac in both the physical and philosophical sense of the word. The Wolf understands that all we need is love, and is fully capable of providing it. Juxtaposed with his/her fierce independence – this Native American animal symbol is a bit of a contradiction in terms. Needing his/her freedom, yet still being quite gentle and compassionate – we get the picture of the "lone wolf" with this sign. In a nurturing environment the Wolf is intensely passionate, generous, deeply affectionate, and gentle. Left to his/her own devices the Wolf can become impractical, recalcitrant, obsessive, and vindictive.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>The Wolf and His or Her Partner</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Falcon</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Falcon will try to conquer Wolf with passion and, possibly, fall flat on his face. Wolf is senstive and compassionate, and she know how to protect herself against uninvited advances. Falcon has two choices: he can either tone down his passionate foray or admit defeat.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Beaver</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Beaver can surely make the heart of Wolf beat faster! Wolf, influenced by the element water, would love to lean on the quiet, steadfast Beaver. But Beaver should not be too sure of herself. She should be ready to acknowledge and reciprocate the sensitive signals Wolf is sending, which, of course, is not an easy task! If she fails, the emotional potential will remain unfulfilled.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Deer</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I this relationship it is possible that both partners will talk and "live" beyond the reach of each other. The worlds Wolf and Deer live in are different. But there is one chance: if Wolf will activate his compassion, and Doe her intellectual imagination. This is how they could slowly and carefully get to know and understand each other.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Woodpecker</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wolf and Woodpecker are both influenced by the element water. They could really be a dream couple. One look and they know that here is the perfect emotional foundation for a lasting union. Even small misunderstandings and differences, which are bound to happen during everyday life, won't seriously threaten the tranquility in their relationship.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Salmon</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Salmon shines with his strong, dynamic, and heartwarming personality. That could be an invitation for Wolf to depend on and be protected by him. The fact that Salmon needs to set the tone is of little concern to Wolf. But if Salmon is not ready to become more deeply involved emotionally, the relationship will always be bitter-sweet.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Brown Bear</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">In principle, the elements water and earth are not in conflict, but Wolf and Brown Bear are. Their interests, needs, and development go in different directions, and the balancing influence of the elements cannot bridge this gap. In this relationship it is the head and the heart that need to be united. How lucky that Wolf is compassionate and Brown Bear willing to learn.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Raven</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">A relationship between Wolf and raven is not one made in heaven. Their personality traits and personal interests are not on the same plane. But both bring to this relationship a willingness to find common ground, which would make a coming together of emotions and intellect possible.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Serpent</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Connected through the element water, this is a case of two people who are capable of deep emothions. Most of all, they are attracted to spiritual mattrs. It is a promising mixture of romance, which Wolf supplies, and passion, which Serpant offers. One can safely assume that this relationship will have a solid emotional as well as sexual foundation.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Owl</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wolf and Owl have much to give each other. First, however, they need to overcome a few difficulties in communication. These difficulties are the result of Wolf idealizing his dreams while Owl lives, works, and if necessary, fights for an ideal world. The key to understanding here is not in learning how to communicate but rather in acknowledging th nature of the differences if both pursue it, could enormously enrich this relationship.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Goose</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">A combination of water and earth could result in a very satisfying relationship. Both Wolf and Goose of course need to contribute to the success. The relationship requires more than compassion. Every now and then Goose should be less disciplined, ad Wolf should delve into the depth of his dreams when Goose is able to join him.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Otter</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wolf and Otter are very compatible partners. But with a bit of goodwill, they should be able to find common ground. Wolf asks of Otter not only intellectual but also emotional openness. If Otter is able to make this leap, Wolf will find a partner the likes of which she only has imagined in her dreams. All Wolf has to do, every nw and then, is to make the journey from her head to her heart.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Wolf and Wolf</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Two Wolves together will reach an emotional depth that is difficult to put into ords. I depth of the water element, they will find dimensions and emotions that border on magic. Difficulty will only arise if both, in their rapture, lose sight of reality.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b><a href="http://totemtalk.ning.com/group/w/forum/topics/5521792:Topic:772">READ MORE ABOUT WOLF HERE</a>:</b></span></p> OTTER ~ 20 January – 18 February (N.

Native American Animal Symbols ~ The OTTER Birth Totem</b><br />
<a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/native-american-animal-symbols.html" target="_blank">http://www.whats-your-sign.com/native-american-animal-symbols.html</a><br />
<br />
A little quirky, and unorthodox, the Otter is a hard one to figure sometimes. Perceived as unconventional, the Otter methods aren't the first ones chosen to get the job done. This is a big mistake on the part of others – because although unconventional, the Otter's methods are usually quite effective. Yes, the Otter has unusual way of looking at things, but he/she is equipped with a brilliant imagination and intelligence, allowing him/her an edge over every one else. Often very perceptive and intuitive, the Otter makes a very good friend, and can be very attentive. In a nurturing environment the Otter is sensitive, sympathetic, courageous, and honest. Left to his/her own devices, the Otter can be unscrupulous, lewd, rebellious, and isolated.<br />
<br />
<b>The Otter and His or Her Partner</b><br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Falcon</b><br />
<br />
The elements air and fire in this relationship will prove to be stimulating and refreshing. Both will quickly be smitten with each other, and what was just a little flirtation may soon turn into something serious. However it would be prudent for the passionate Falcon to tone down his feelings, saving some of his energy for a more intellectual exchange with Otter.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Beaver</b><br />
<br />
Otter and Beaver need to take care of a few differences before they can hope to have a satisfying relationship. This is a relationship between an idealist and a materialist. Both positions have their place. But to make this relationship work, they have to compromise. Are the compromises they have to make too numerous?<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Deer</b><br />
<br />
Both Otter and Deer, inflenced by the element air, are restless and chafing at the bit. They could stimulate and positively influence each other. Since both are active and adventurous, they would rather be living with chronic scheduling stress than in a routine everyday existence. The latter will create problems much more quickly. This couple will be constantly on the go.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Woodpecker</b><br />
<br />
Woodpecker, given her dependency and need for security, will most likely try to interfere with Otter's cherished need for freedom. At worst, this relationship will not survive. Otter, as soon as he senses that his independence is in serious danger, will take off in a hurry, even if this means leaving behind a heartbroken Woodpecker,<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Salmon</b><br />
<br />
Otter and Salmon, what a tension-filled relationship! Although air and fire, usually harmonize, their other characteristics are diametrically opposed. However, this can be stimulating as well as stressful for a partnership. On the positive side, both can learn from and with each other under one condition: that both are willing and gracious enough to make concessions. This, of course, means that both must compromise--Otter, her ideals and Salmon, his ego.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Brown Bear</b><br />
<br />
Neither will fall down on his or her knees as soon as they meet. Otter influenced by the element air. needs time to get used to earth-bound Brown Bear, particulary when Bear gets petty, persnickety, and a little intolerant. But one thing unites Otter and Brown Bear: in their own way, both are intellectually interesting, nimble, and open-minded.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Raven</b><br />
<br />
Air influences both signs or partners. This allows Otter and Raven to create and support a harmonious and uncomplicated relationship. While Otter's strong idealistic engagement is not always to Raven's liking, Otter can certainly contribute intellectual stimulation. Moreover, many of their activities will enrich this relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Serpent</b><br />
<br />
Otter and Serpent will often be on a warpath, and seemingly incompatible differences will make it difficult for this relationship to succeed. Serpent has a tendency to want her partner all to herself. Otter sees red and quickly disappears. If he stays, the relationship will contain never-ending compromises, and that does not bode well for a long-lasting relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Owl</b><br />
<br />
Otter and Owl are not only connected by the elements air and fire, they also compliment each other in their idealism and desire for truth. These two signs encourage each other. Otter and Owl are mutually stimulating in all areas of life. This relationship deserves the adjective precious.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Goose</b><br />
<br />
In this relationship the road to happiness is paved with many obstacles, but they can be overcome. However, Goose is very disciplined and she my try to counter Otter's idealism with reason. The result would be a relationship built on compromise and trust.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Otter</b><br />
<br />
Two Otters can frolic together. They can improve each other and the whole world. They both share the element air, which promotes intellectual energy and openness. This does, however, push emotional issues to second place and encourages a certain amount of superficiality. That, however, is not a problem if both partners are satisfied.<br />
<br />
<b>Otter and Wolf</b><br />
<br />
When taking a close look, Otter and Wolf are strangers. Both approach life from different sides. Otter, however, is always open to differing views. Wolf, thanks to his sensitivity, can empathize with others. Both might be able to find common ground. The keys are Otter's broad intuitive sense and Wolf's fine instincts.<br />

Native American Animal Symbols ~ GOOSE Birth Totem</b><br />
<a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/animal-symbolism-goose.html" target="_blank">http://www.whats-your-sign.com/animal-symbolism-goose.html</a><br />
<br />
If you want something done – give it to the Goose. Persevering, dogged, and ambitious to a fault, the Goose sets goals for accomplishment, and always obtains them. The goose is determined to succeed at all cost – not for the approval of other – but those with this Native American animal symbol competes with his/her own internal foe. Driven is the watchword for the Goose's dominating personality trait – which makes them excellent in business and competitive sports. When tempered with supportive, nurturing family and friends, the Goose excels in all things he/she attempts. In a loving environment the Goose can be very passionate, humorous, gregarious, and even sensual. However, lead to his/her own devises, the Goose may fall into obsessive or addictive behaviors that will inevitably be his/her demise.<br />
<b><br />
The Goose and His or Her Partner</b><br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Falcon</b><br />
<br />
Goose and Falcon won't get too upset with each other quickly. Goose will simpy be astounded when she is watching the daring, spontaneous, and sometimes not-well-thought-out activities of Falcon. In turn Falcon, given his intense and stormy emotions, will have difficulty understanding the self-controlled Goose. These two will certainly need a lot of patience and forbearance if they want to forge a good relationship.<br />
<b><br />
Goose and Beaver</b><br />
<br />
Since Goose and Beaver are both influenced by the element earth, they have very similar opinions and needs. Both are faithful and reliable partners who can give much to each other. Happily, Beaver is an expert in the art of living and will make sure that the ambitious, responsible, and hard-working Gander finds needed diversions.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Deer</b><br />
<br />
Just as quickly as the nimble Doe or Stag appears, he may also be gone again. Influenced by the element air, Deer are driven from one activity to another, something the earth-bound Goose or Gander can't really understand. Both Goose and Gander hate undependable people, particularly in matters of love. These two will have great difficulty making the relationship work.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Woodpecker</b><br />
<br />
Since the elements earth and water are involved, a certain attraction is a given. But needs, interests, and tendencies may still run in different directions. Goose controls feelings, often to the point of appearing cool, while the sensitive Woodpecker positively dissolves with passionate emotions. But a wonderful relationship is possible if both are willing to compromise.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Salmon</b><br />
<br />
Among other things, Goose is known for being thrifty. Salmon, on the other hand, flows over with generosity, in material as well as emotional areas. Maybe Goose, under the affectionate influence of Salmon, could be persuaded to be a bit more spontaneous. She would not regret it! Goose and Salmon do have a few qualities in common: ambition, determination, and assertiveness.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Brown Bear</b><br />
<br />
Goose and Brown Bear seem to be made for each other. The influence of the element earth, which both share, has a stabilizing and unifying effect on this promising relationship. But this is also a relationship of two frugal and modest people. They may stay together under a notion of duty and obligation rather than a feeling of pleasure. They both need to make sure they do not relegate pleasure to be the back burner in their relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Raven</b><br />
<br />
Raven has many interests, behaves diplomatically, has an active intellect and, most of all, charm. The question is, however, whether this relationship can engage Gander over the long haul. Being influenced by earth, Gander expects a certain amount of stability. But stability is not something Raven can offer him.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Serpent</b><br />
<br />
With Serpent, Goose could have found a real treasure. Serpent is sensitive and able to understand what motivates Goose. There are several characteristics these two have in common, so that the relationship seems to run under its own power. The magical and passionate aura of Serpent may just be what is needed to lure Goose out of her reserve.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Owl</b><br />
<br />
It will take some time until earth and fire can nourish each other, but nothing is impossible. Once a small spark of tenderness has been ignited between the two, both will try to understand each other. However, this does not mean that both share the same view about things. Much work is needed to archive a viable relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Gander</b><br />
<br />
It is obvious that when Goose meets Gander basic questions about life and love need no discussion. The element they share, earth, made sure of that. If viewed from this perspective, the chances for a long fulfilling relationship are very good. To bring excitement into the relationship, it would be good if both are not too serious and make room for fun and pleasure. Otherwise, love could quickly become a matter of routine, and boredom wll knock at the door.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Otter</b><br />
<br />
Goose needs reliability in everything, particularly when it comes to a partner. This is something Otter cannot guarantee. He is very impulsive, which does not always make him a reliable person. That is difficult for Goose to tolerate. Such differences make for a very unequal relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Goose and Wolf</b><br />
<br />
While at first the realistic and practical Gander won't understand the romantic and hidden desires and needs of Wolf, these two could perfectly complement each other. Gander only needs to let go his skepticism and learn to trust Wolf's instinctive and intuitive talents.<br />

Warm, natural, with an easy-going nature, the Owl is friend to the world. The bearer of this Native American animal symbol is notorious for engaging in life at full speed, and whole-hearted loves adventure. This can be to his/her detriment as the Owl can be reckless, careless, and thoughtless. Owls make great artists, teachers, and conservationists. However, due to his/her adaptability and versatility – the Owl would likely excel in any occupation. In a supportive, nurturing environment the Owl is sensitive, enthusiastic, and an attentive listener. Left to his/her own devices, the Owl can be excessive, overindulgent, bitter, and belligerent.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>The Owl and His or Her Partner<br/> <br/> Owl and Falcon</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">The element fire rules this relationship. This means that not only is there good cooperation between both, but that Owl and Falcon have a spontaneous and genuine exchange of feelings. One is almost tempted to declare them a dream couple. They enrich each other, and together they can do almost anything to which they set their minds. Falcon gladly supports Owl's idealistic endeavers.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Beaver</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Owl and Beaver do not always get along. When steadfast and deliberate Beaver meets Owl, Owl often feels restricted. Beaver often finds it diffilculty to understand Owl's bold and idealistic dreams. This is reason enough for them not to rush to the alter too fast.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b><br/> Owl and Deer</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Initially, Owl and Deer will like each other, since fire and air, their respective elements, compliment each other. Both seek knowledge, activity, and sociability. But on closer inspection, a few contradictions, which can only be overcome with tolerance and much hard work, will be apparent. Owl should try to be less exacting, and Deer should try to approach things more seriously.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b><br/> Owl and Woodpecker</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Owl and Woodpecker have a few differences to overcome if they chose to be a couple. An important requirement to a lasting relationship is goodwill. Woodpecker often prefers to keep Owl home, which she won't like at all. If Owl's freedom and independence are seriously restricted, she will take off.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Salmon</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Both Owl and Salmon belong to the element fire. A harmless flirtation could quickly turn serious, as long as Salmon, in his generosity and openness, can bring himself to understand the idealism and flights of fancy typical for Owl. Furthermore, if Salmon keeps his jealous streak in check, nothing will stand in the way of a passionate and enduring love relationship.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Brown Bear</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Brown Bear and Owl's relationship is unlikely to be passionate and enduring. Brown Bear relies more on facts than fancies, and Owl spends his life searching for truth and questioning reality. Only if both are able to understand the interests and views of the other can this relationship grow.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Raven</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Owl and Raven can be a good team, which is as interseting as it is spirited. Since Raven intellectually open and able to see things and ideas realistically, he can act as a motivator as well as an advisor. Also, Owl's entrepreneurial spirit and Raven's sence of adventure are promising criteria for happiness and harmony.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Serpent</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Fire and water are elements that do not go together. Owl seeks high ideals and is attracted by intellectual pursuits. Serpent, on the other hand, is more at home in the deep and mysterious world of the soul. Misunderstandings won't be long in coming. Both are willing explorers, and this could help bridge the different worlds in which they live.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Owl</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Two Owls together! What an exciting and fascinating relationship this could be, ruled by the element fire. A double dose of idealism and engagement can propel this pair. They are also unbeatable when it comes to making plans. Ideally, each will pay attention to the needs of the other and thereby maintain a happy love relationship.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Goose</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Here Owl will probably bang his head against a brick wall. The sensible, realistic, and disciplined Goose will bring Owl back to the hard facts of reality. The result usually is frustrating. But if Owl is able to be convincing. Goose will provide an unconditional and reliable support.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Otter</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Owl and Otter like each other immediately. Both are made for love-at-first-sight. Both are very competitive, each trying to come up with the best idea, the most outrageous adventure, and the most humanitarian views. Thiers will be a relationship in which both parents positively influence the other's personal development.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Owl and Wolf</b></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">This combination is likely to be burdened with many difficulties. The elements water and fire require that both Owl and Wolf work hard at their relationship. The question is: Are they both willing to make the effort? At best, this will be a relationship based on tolerance and acceptance and that may not be enough for both.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b><br/> READ MORE ABOUT OWL HERE:</b> (LINK coming soon!)</span></p> SNAKE 23 October – 22 November (N.

The Snake is a natural in all matters of spirit. Easily attuned to the ethereal realm the Snake makes an excellent spiritual leader. Also respected for his/her healing capacities, the Snake also excels in medical professions. The Snake's preoccupation with matters intangible often lead others to view them as mysterious, and sometimes frightening. True, the Snake can be secretive, and a bit dark – he/she is also quite sensitive, and caring. In a supportive relationship the cool Snake can be passionate, inspiring, humorous, and helpful. Left to his/her own devices, the Snake can be despondent, violent, and prone to abnormal mood swings.<br/> <br/> <b>The Serpent and His or Her Partner</b><br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Falcon</b><br/> <br/> Serpent is a person with deep and passionate emotions. Inside the Falcon also burns a bright fire with strong emotions and great passion. While this may at first look like a perfect union, there is a fly in the soup. The emotions of Serpent are held deep within the soul, and those of the Falcon are expressed more outwardly and spontaneously. Sparks will fly.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Beaver</b><br/> <br/> Serpent and Beaver constitute two opposing poles, which can give both a chance to meet in the middle and forge an enviable unit. But doing so is not all that easy. The opposing tendencies and needs require a high degree of tolerance and acceptance.<br/> <br/> Serpent and Deer<br/> The emotional Serpent would love nothing more than to snag the emotional side of Deer and claim him for her own. But Stag will resist any pressure quickly and skillfully. This will leave a drop of bitterness: that of unrequited love. Over the long haul, neither partner will be satisfied.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Woodpecker</b><br/> <br/> Since Woodpecker. like Serpent, belongs to the element water, neither will find it difficult to forge an intimate relationship, particularly since theirs rests on a strong emotional foundation. Serpent and Woodpecker, who find in each other everything they have searched for, will never let go.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Salmon</b><br/> <br/> Whenever the elements water and fire meet, one must be prepared for a few difficulties and misunderstandings. With the proud and domineering Salmon and the ruthlessly honest Serpent, friction is almost guaranteed. Both tend to be jealous and possessive, so finding a solution to any difficulties is hard for them.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Brown Bear</b><br/> <br/> The above scenario does not occur when Serpent meets Brown Bear. The later is accommodating, and able to appreciate the Serpent's sensitivity, steadfastness, and dependability. The fact that Brown Bear carefully holds back many of his deepest feelings could invigorate the relationship, because Serpent thrives on challenges--especially emotional ones.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Raven</b><br/> <br/> Corressponding to the element water, Serpents' emotions are as deep as the ocean, and they love to pull their partner down into the very emotional depths they experience. Ravens, however, do not always feel very comfortable in that sphere (they fear drowning) and will, to a great degree, hold back emotionally. It will be difficult, even impossible, to create a fullfilling relationship.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Serpent</b><br/> <br/> Two Serpents could fall under each other's spell--physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Their profound connection may well be for life. Their emothions can be so deep that they are sometimes painful. Their intensity and passion are enviable. But such strong passions and the tendency to be jealous can also cause problems.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Owl</b><br/> <br/> Serpents and Owls are unlikely to fall immediately into each other's arms, even though Owls are by nature spontaneous and euphoric. But contraditions within such relationships do exist, and in the beginning, these contraditions may stand in the way of happiness. If, however, Serpent is able to be less possessive, and if Owl exercises the tolerance that she is capable of, nothing will stand in the way of forging a constructive and intensive relationship.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Goose</b><br/> <br/> Serpent and Goose love to get to know each other because they are both drawn by the element water, though Goose is governed by earth. While both have a tendency to control their deeper feelings, the sensual and passionate flame that burns between them will strengthen and deepen their relationship. A union between Serpent and Goose promises to be very successful--in love and at work.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Otter</b><br/> <br/> Serpent is influenced by the element water, and Otter is influenced by the element air. So, the two approach each other with mixed feelings because they live in such different worlds. Great tolerance might be required from both, perhaps more than they are able to give.<br/> <br/> <b>Serpent and Wolf</b><br/> <br/> The sensitive and accommodating Wolf might just hit the bull's-eye with Serpent, and visa versa. Both belong to the element water, and both live in such rich emotional worlds that their shared emotional depth guarantees a strong foundation and an indestructible bond. In addition, Wolf will quickly win Serpent's trust.<br/> <br/> <b><a href="http://totemtalk.ning.com/group/s/forum/topics/snake-cobra">READ MORE ABOUT SNAKE HERE</a>:</b></p> CROW ~ 22 September – 22 October (N.

<br />
Highly enthusiastic, and a natural entrepreneur, the Crow is quite a charmer. But he/she doesn't have to work at being charming – it comes easily. Everyone recognizes the Crow's easy energy, and everyone turns to the Crow for his/her ideas and opinions. This is because the Crow is both idealistic and diplomatic and is quite ingenious. In nurturing environments this Native American animal symbol is easy-going, can be romantic, and soft-spoken. Further, the crow can be quite patient, and intuitive in relationships. Left to his/her own devices, the Crow can be demanding, inconsistent, vindictive, and abrasive.<br />

<br />
<b>The Raven and His or Her Partner</b><br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Falcon</b><br />
<br />
A Raven and Falcon relationship is likely to experience some conflict. While the elements fire and air complement each other, their personalities are very differerent. Harmony can be difficult to establish because the Falcon does not do well when it is time to compromise. Here the Raven will make more concessions than he would like, and frustration is likely.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Beaver</b><br />
<br />
In the beginning, these two people won't have much in common. It might take a while for them to like each other. The Raven, influenced by the element fire, needs diversion, stimulation, and variety in his life, while Beaver is more inner-directed and loves domestic life.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Deer</b><br />
<br />
The element air is a good foundation for this combination. It both unites and heightens their relationship. Both signs take great joy in intellectual and social activities. Good communication and intense discourse is very important. While this relationship will not suffer from boredom, a calendar filled with too many different activities could be a source of stress. But--so what? Both Raven and Deer love it and feel connected because of it.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Woodpecker</b><br />
<br />
It has been said that opposites attract, and this folk wisdom describes this relationship perfectly. But will raven and Woodpecker get along? Not immediately. With goodwill and with time, a harmonious relationship can be established. However, this relationship will be made up of a lot of compromises.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Salmon</b><br />
<br />
Raven and Salmon can have a promising relationship because the elements fire and air usually go well together. Raven can lean on the strong Salmon (if Salmon allows him) and, in turn Salmon enjoys Raven's social and culivated life-style. In other words, their relationship is happy and harmonious.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Brown Bear</b><br />
<br />
Brown Bear has an even temperament and a steady nature. He loves rules he can depend on and favors safe boundries and predictable schedules. It is possible that Raven will feel restricted in her natural tendencies. She cherishes diversion, loves not only being on the go but also the finer things in life. Misunderstandings are inevitable in such a relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Raven</b><br />
<br />
Two Ravens will fly into each other arms. They belong to the element air and are in great need of varied and exciting stimulation, diversion, and entertainment. Since they perceive the world in much the same way, they will fulfill their desires effortlessly. The only thing this relationship may lack is emotional and spiritual depth. Their partnership may remain somewhat platonic and hinge on intellect rather than passion.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Serpent</b><br />
<br />
Raven has a kind and accommodating personality and is always interested in balance. This often leads to having different opinions at different times, depending on the situation. Serpent, in comparison, tends to hold steadfast to an opinion once it has been reached. This could be a possible point of contention, particulary since, at times, Serpent wants to explore emotional aspects in more depth, something with which Raven is not comfortable.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Owl</b><br />
<br />
Since the elements fire and air are involved in this relationship, Raven and Owl get along well. They also have promising things in common that make for a very harmonious relationship. Among other things, it is particularly the diplomacy and tolerance of Raven that accommodates Owl's needs.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Goose</b><br />
<br />
When Raven and Goose meet, the spark of love might be missing in the beginning because of the difference in their personalities. The carefree attitude of Raven is difficult for Goose to understand because she lives life in moderation and has a serious and sober attitude. She could, however, learn a few things from Raven's carefree lifestyle. In turn, Raven could learn from concentration and consistency from Goose.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Otter</b><br />
<br />
Whenever two people share the same element, things look very good indeed. Such is the relationship between Raven and Otter. The idealistic Otter, rich in ingenuity, can be very stimulating--something Raven seeks. Otter, on the other hand, finds in Raven a partner who will be interested in his plans and who supports them enthusiastically.<br />
<br />
<b>Raven and Wolf</b><br />
<br />
Raven and Wolf need time to respect and understand each other, if that is possible at all. Their greatest problem may be that Raven sometimes seems to be emotionally unavailable--which makes Wolf withdraw into his own world.<br />

<a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/native-american-bear-meaning.html" target="_blank">http://www.whats-your-sign.com/native-american-bear-meaning.html</a><br />
<br />
Pragmatic, and methodical the Bear is the one to call when a steady hand is needed. The Bear's practicality and level-headedness makes him/her an excellent business partner. Usually the voice of reason in most scenarios, the Bear is a good balance for Owls. The Bear is also gifted with an enormous heart, and a penchant for generosity. However, one might not know it as the Bear tends to be very modest, and a bit shy. In a loving environment this Native American animal symbol showers love and generosity in return. Further, the Bear has a capacity for patience and temperance, which makes him/her excellent teachers and mentors. Left to his/her own devices the bear can be skeptical, sloth, small-minded and reclusive.<br />
<br />
<b>The Brown Bear and His or Her Partner</b><br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Falcon</b><br />
<br />
Brown Bear, connected to nature and Mother Earth as he is, loves an orderly life that moves in quiet and predictable ways. But when Falcon, ruled by fire, crosses his path, peace and quiet cease. The dynamic, power-packed Falcon brings more energy to the life of Brown Bear than he can stand. Both have to work hard to keep the relationship harmonious.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Beaver</b><br />
<br />
Both signs and animal totems are ruled by the element earth, which should make a good relationship, at least as it touches on basic issues and needs. Industrious and hard-working, Brown Bear finds a dependable and faithful parner in Beaver, who will share with him the comforts and beauty in life.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Deer</b><br />
<br />
Deer, due to his innate inclinations and intellectual excitement, may well create a restlessness that Brown Bear, with his need for a steady, practical, and well-ordered life, may find unsetting, Brown Bear and Deer will have a hard time reconciling their differences. Good communication may be the only way to overcome these obstacles.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Woodpecker</b><br />
<br />
Brown Bear and Woodpecker have a good foundation, based on their respective elements, earth and water. They compliment and understand each other without many words: Brown Bear takes care of a stable environment and Woodpecker, sensitive and emotionally devoted, provides trust. Both will be fulfilled because they enrich each other's lives.<br />
<b><br />
Brown Bear and Salmon</b><br />
<br />
Due to the influence of the element fire, Salmon brings deep emotions and a happy disposition to this relationship, which Brown Bear really likes. However, the Salmon also has rather high expectations both of life and love, something the more reserved Brown Bear may not appreciate enough. These two people may have wideely differing opinions and ideas. Compromising may bridge the gap.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Brown Bear</b><br />
<br />
The element earth, which both Brown Bears share, provides a solid base for their relationship, and their tendencies and interests are also much alike. What may be missing in this relationship is emotional spontaneity, because both express their emotions in more measured ways.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Raven</b><br />
<br />
Brown Bear prefers to stand with both feet on the solid ground of facts. While he is not a loner, he does love home life and a certain amount of seclusion. For Raven, this is often hard to understand because he loves diversion and is very social. If Brown Bear can show more flexbility and Raven more willingness to curtail some of his inclinations, this may not be a bad combination.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Serpent</b><br />
<br />
In this relationship, Brown Bear may enjoy the fact that Serpent is somebody who rattles his chains. On one hand, Serpent, due to the influence of the element water, is an emotionally charged person who knows how to coax Brown Bear out of his emotional reserve. On the other hand, the sometimes highly independant Brown Bear may be a welcome challenge to Serpent.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Owl</b><br />
<br />
While Brown Bear does not always agree with the circumstances and realities of life, he can at least respect them--something that is very difficult for Owl because he always looks for superlatives. Mutually agreeable compromises and harmony in this parnership will be difficult to achieve.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Goose</b><br />
<br />
The situation of Brown Bear and Owl is not what troubles this relationship. Goose, like Brown Bear, is influenced by the element earth and, therefore, remains a solid, steadfast, peaceful, and strong person. Goose and Brown Bear operate on the same wavelength. However, they often view life more seriously than necessary. Both should make sure that fun and trust in the positive things in life are not short-changed.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Otter</b><br />
<br />
Brown Bear and Otter might as well live on different planets. The elements that influence their respective signs, earth and air, make understanding each other difficult. The Brown Bear wants to preserve and stabilize the world, Otter wants to change and reform it. They begin from widely differing concepts. However, when both are willing to communicate, the results can be very good.<br />
<br />
<b>Brown Bear and Wolf</b><br />
<br />
While the elements earth and water may serve as a basis for mutual growth, tension in this relationship is a given. That's because Brown Bear is primarily ruled by his head, while Wolf is guided by emotions and trusts her instincts--something of which Brown Bar is suspicious.<br />

Electric, focused, intuitive, and wholly creative, the Salmon is a real live-wire. His/her energy is palpable. A natural motivator, the Salmon's confidence and enthusiasm is easily infectious. Soon, everybody is onboard with the Salmon – even if the idea seems too hair-brained to work. Generous, intelligent, and intuitive, it's no wonder why the Salmon has no shortage of friends. This Native American animal symbol expresses a need for purpose and goals, and has no trouble finding volunteers for his/her personal crusades. In a supportive environment, the Salmon is stable, calm, sensual, and giving. Left to his/her own devices, those that bear this Native American animal symbol can be egotistical, vulgar, and intolerant of others.<br />

<b>The Salmon and His or Her Partner<br />
<br />
Salmon and Falcon</b><br />
<br />
This is a relationship of two very temperamental and passionate people, who often like or even love each other at first sight. Falcon is sure to do justice to Salmon's expectations and to stand by him. Since both are determined and dominant people, it would serve them well to decide the rules of the game early. That way they will avoid unnecessary differences.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Beaver</b><br />
<br />
People influenced by the elements fire and earth may find themselves in a quandry. Both should be willing to compromise and lower the high expectations they have of the other. Unfortunately, both can be stubborn at times, which makes giving in difficult. But when it comes to being comfortable , both agree.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Deer</b><br />
<br />
Salmon and Deer make a happy twosome who have no difficulty accommodating, each other. The elements fire and air compliment each other, as do their personalities. This almost guarantees that they will suffer no lack of stimulation. Deer, whether Stag or Doe, is very flexible and willing to compromise, giving the more dominate Salmon few problems.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Woodpecker</b><br />
<br />
The contradictions in this relationship cannot be denied even if, in the end, they provide an opportunity for mutual growth. Salmon is a natural leader who radiates kindness and warmth. He is a person one can lean on (if you are accommodating). And that is exactly what Woodpecker sometimes searches for. However, Salmon must try to be less dominate.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Salmon</b><br />
<br />
Two Salmon together--what a strong team they can be! However, only if they are willing to develope a team spirit and avoid competing for leadership--after all, Salmon ruled by fire, is a dominant personality. What's certain is that when these two meet, sparks will fly.<br />
<br />
Salmon and Brown Bear<br />
Salmon loves to have people look up to him. Brown Bear is willing and able to do just that. However, it remains to be seen if that's sufficent for a happy and fulfilling relationship. It would be good if there were other aspects they can agree on. Searching for them wouldn't be an easy matter. Both Salmon and Brown Bear closely examine their situation before deciding to tie the knot.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Raven</b><br />
<br />
The element air, which Raven supplies, literally brings a breath of fresh air into the life of Salmon. Fortunately, Raven has no intention of challenging the Salmon's leadership. This is a relationship in which harmony reigns. Salmon and Raven can create a satisfying, sophisticated lifestyle.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Serpent</b><br />
<br />
Since Serpent loves to delve into the subconscious and unfathomable secret subjects, Salmon might feel uncomfortable at times. Serpent has the uncanny ability to uncover peculiarities, sensitive subjects, and weaknesses--in other words: easily look behind Salmon's or anyone else's facade. It will not be easy to overcome a little mistrust in order to form a trusting relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Owl</b><br />
<br />
Salmon will quickly fall in love with Owl. After all, they have the element fire in common. However, this fact alone does not guarantee a happy relationship. Owl asks for a lot of freedom and independence--which requires trust and tolerance--and Salmon might at times have a problem granting that.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Goose</b><br />
<br />
Goose may appear alien to Salmon and little will change unless Salmon makes the effort to discover and understand the needs of Goose. While any effort Salmon makes would be richly rewarded, his automatic expectations and demands may get in the way.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Otter</b><br />
<br />
Since Otter loves freedom, independence, and self-sufficiency, he won't adapt to the rules of Salmon without taking a close look at the reasons behind them. This could easily lead to tension. Attraction or rejection depends to a large degree on how receptive and tolerant Salmon and Otter are with each other. While the dissimilarities cannot be denied, such a relationship also has great possibilities.<br />
<br />
<b>Salmon and Wolf</b><br />
<br />
While Wolf is often rough on the outside, he is also very soft inside, and that softness or gentleness could attract Salmon. No matter how much the Wolf leans on Salmon, he won't reveal everything. Wolf also holds many cards in his hand close to his chest. The question is: does Salmon have enough patience and empathy to understand Wolf?<br />

<p><a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/symbolic-meaning-of-woodpecker.html" target="_blank">http://www.whats-your-sign.com/symbolic-meaning-of-woodpecker.html</a><br/> <br/> <b>Native American Animal Symbols ~ WOODPECKER Birth Totem</b><br/> <a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/native-american-animal-symbols.html" target="_blank">http://www.whats-your-sign.com/native-american-animal-symbols.html</a><br/> <br/> Woodpeckers are usually the most nuturing of all the Native American animal symbols. The consummate listener, totally empathic and understanding, the Woodpecker is the one to have on your side when you need support. Of course, they make wonderful parents, and equally wonderful friends and partners. Another proverbial feather in the Woodpeckers cap is the tendency to be naturally frugal, resourceful, and organized. In a nurturing environment the Woodpecker is of course caring, devoted, and very romantic. Left to his/her own devices the Woodpecker can be possessive, angry, jealous, and spiteful.<br/> <br/> <b>The Woodpecker and His or Her Partner<br/> <br/> Woodpecker and Falcon</b><br/> <br/> Woodpecker will be overwhelmed by the dynamism and spontaneity of Falcon. Woodpecker will be pleasantly surprised by Falcon's many talents, which he does not have. A harmonious relationship, however, is still not guaranteed. For a relationship to succeed, many differences must be overcome.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Beaver</b><br/> <br/> Beaver, a representative of the element earth, compliments Woodpecker's interests, desires, and needs. Both signs are domestic and caring; that's why they understand and indulge each other. The quiet strength of the reliable Beaver is food for Woodpecker's soul. Tenderness and romance will flower in this relationship.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Deer</b><br/> <br/> The sensitive Woodpecker longs for human touch, warmth, security, and a comfortable home. Stag's needs are quite different. He requires much personal freedom in order to satisfy his need for distraction, contact, and communication with other people. Woodpecker will quickly feel sad, neglected, and suffer quietly with the energetic, roving Deer.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Woodpecker</b><br/> <br/> This double-dose of the element water helps create a strong and intense relationship. Woodpecker and Woodpecker, due to their innate sensitivity, understand each other without words. Their emotional traits are very much alike; one could envy their harmony. While their relationship may lack dynamism, they don't care.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Salmon</b><br/> <br/> Salmon, influenced by the element fire, is considered forceful even domineering. On one hand, this could bother Woodpecker. On the other hand, Salmon radiates warmth and affection, traits Woodpecker delights in with all his heart. People born under the sign of the Woodpecker will, for just that reason, usually accept Salmon's leadership.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Brown Bear</b><br/> <br/> The two elements water and earth provide a harmonious and stable foundation for a fulfilling relationship. Brown Bear has a good grasp on reality and always remains practical. He can, therefore, provide good support for the sometimes moody Woodpecker. Also, the sensitive and emotionally engaged Woodpecker can coax the reserved Brown Bear out of his cave.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Raven</b><br/> <br/> While air (Raven) is able to move or even stir up water (Woodpecker), it cannot penetrate water's depth. That's why Ravens and Woopeckers have such difficulty finding common ground. They need something they both value to help balance the needs of both the soul and the intellect. If they are successful, they can learn much from each other and outgrow individual limitations.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Serpent</b><br/> <br/> These two totems or signs not only have the element water in common, they'll also find perfect harmony in the characteristics they share. Both Woodpecker and Serpent are emotionally charged people, capable of very deep emotions. Such a couple can reach emotional and erotic states that others can only dream about.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Owl</b><br/> <br/> The warmth and security Woodpecker needs can easily be supplied by Owl. Ruled by the element fire, Owl brings to the relationship a warm glow. Owl is also spontaneous and needs personal freedom. In his search for the great big world and meaning of life, Owl doesn't want to be tied down to a domestic life. That could create problems.<br/> <b><br/> Woodpecker and Goose</b><br/> <br/> While the elements water and earth get along well, contradictions between Woodpecker and Goose are given, due to their strong different personal interests and needs. In some instances, both compliment each other, but the trick is to find a golden middle a workable solution. This includes the need to compromise.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Otter</b><br/> <br/> A world could seperate Woodpecker and Otter. While Woodpecker is a domestic and sensitive creature, highly influenced by emotions, Otter is more drawn to the intellectual and idealistic side of life. The question is: where can they meet? To avoid frustration, both partners need to exercise tolerance and forbearance.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodpecker and Wolf</b><br/> <br/> Both Woodpecker and Wolf belong to the element water, making them both highly sensitive. This combination is truly a relationship where heart and soul act in harmony. Thanks to their understanding, no desire will remain unfulfilled.<br/> <br/> <b>READ MORE ABOUT WOODPECKER HERE:</b> (LINK coming soon.)</p> DEER ~ 21 May – 20 June (N.

Negative Traits: Incompatible.Lazy.Uneasy.Depressed.<br />

<br />
Deer are wiling to sacrifice the old for the new. They loath routine, thriving on variety and challenges. They have a wild side, often leaping from one situation or relationship into another without reflection.<br />

<b>Native American Animal Symbols ~ DEER Birth Totem</b><br />
<a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/animal-symbolism-deer.htm" target="_blank">http://www.whats-your-sign.com/animal-symbolism-deer.htm</a><br />
<br />
This Native American animal symbol is the muse of the zodiac. The Deer is inspiring lively and quick-witted. With a tailor-made humor, the Deer has a tendency to get a laugh out of anyone. Excellent ability for vocalizing, the Deer is a consummate conversationalist. This combined with his/her natural intelligence make the Deer a must-have guest at dinner parties. Always aware of his/her surroundings, and even more aware of his/her appearance, the Deer can be a bit self-involved. However, the Deer's narcissism is overlooked because of his/her congeniality and affability. In a supportive environment the Deer's natural liveliness and sparkly personality radiate even more. He/she is an inspiring force in any nurturing relationship. Left to his/her own devices the Deer can be selfish, moody, impatient, lazy, and two-faced.<br />
<br />
<b>The Deer and His or Her Partner<br />
<br />
Deer and Falcon</b><br />
<br />
The elements air and fire could create intense heat, and Deer would surly love to be conquered and seduced by Falcon. In addition, such a relationship is rich in ideas and dynamic activities. Whatever the Deer can conceive, the Falcon will carry out. Here not only will love prosper, but joint projects and plans will also.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Beaver</b><br />
<br />
In the beginning these two signs won't suffer from sleepless nights. Deer is loose and carefree, and Beaver stands on solid ground. Since they are both so different, they may compliment and enrich each other. But there is no guarantee they'll live happily ever after. Whatever else is required, both must be willing to compromise.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Deer</b><br />
<br />
When people of the same element and the same sign meet, a great deal of accord can be expected. And, indeed, two Deer can have much fun together and constantly stimulate each other. Their relationship will be interesting and exciting. But too much intellectual excitement and diversion could mean lack of emotional depth.<br />
<br />
Deer and Woodpecker<br />
The elements air (Deer) and water (Woodpecker) are strangers. While Woodpecker builds a comfortable nest, hoping that her love will feel at home, Stag roams about and might forget to come home. Under such circumstances, one cannot hope for a great deal of cooperation. However, in such a relationship Stag has a chance to learn something about deep emotions.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Salmon</b><br />
<br />
Deer and Salmon, due to the harmonizing elements air and fire, tend to get along well, sometimes extremely well. They both love a certain amount of freedom and are always open to positive inspirations and diversions. The fact that Salmon loves to be the leader makes no difference to Deer. If it gets to be too much, she will simply take off for a few days.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Brown Bear</b><br />
<br />
While Brown Bear could be an ideal companion, in the beginning Deer won't be overjoyed because the elements air and earth do not make an ideal mixture. Brown Bear, because he is so dutiful and principled, may spoil the fun for Doe and accuse her of being superficial. But there is one thing that does shine: they both have goodwill.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Raven</b><br />
<br />
Here, again, are two signs that have the element air in common, which promises to be an interesting and stimulating combination. Both Deer and Raven have spirit and are very sociable. Not many desires will remain unfulfilled, if any at all. Only their strong, leaning toward diversion could sooner or later create stress.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Serpent</b><br />
<br />
The problem with this combination can be that Deer prefers to explore the obvious things in life while Serpent is more tuned to deep and secret areas. The question is whether the two elements, air and water, will meet on the intellectual or emotional plane. Under ideal circumstances, it won't be either-or but rather, both. That's not always easy.<br />
<b><br />
Deer and Owl</b><br />
<br />
Apart from a few contradictory traits, people belonging to these signs should get along well. Deer believes in logic and knownledge, and Owl wants to discover and understand the wisdom behind the knowledge. If Deer is willing to engage in such deep intellectual endeavers, nothing will stand in the way of happiness.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Goose</b><br />
<br />
In the beginning, Deer has no idea of what to do with Goose, who belongs to the element earth. Deer is relaxed, agile, and sometimes even superficial. The strict and more focused Goose could serve as either a solid foundation for Deer or be a hindrance. This is the big question that both would do well to take the time to answer.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Otter</b><br />
<br />
Otter, another creature ruled by the element air, is just what Deer hopes to find. Pooling their strengths, these two could reach intellectual heights that could assume ever new dimentions. However, there is also the danger of canceling each other out. For that reason, Deer and Otter should make sure not to ignore the commonplace realities of life.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer and Wolf</b><br />
<br />
With Deer and Wolf, the elements air and water meet. The danger in this relationship is that both live separate lives because their needs are so different. They might not be able to understand each other, let alone find common ground, unless Stag, contrary to his usual habit, is willing to delve into his emotions and Wolf is willing to be more carefree.<br />
