I need to be in control of my environment and always seat were I can see everything going on if not I don't feel as comfortable, I gravitate always towards that seat in the restaurant that gives me maximum view lol.

I love freedom, exploring new territory and been up there seeing it all underneath me and taking it all in, It feels so amazing been on top of a mountain close to the eagles flying and the view from up there..

By contrast I think turtles are my second spirit animal totum, I know quite a contrast but my chart ruler is pluto and conjuncts saturn which identifies with the slow but steady style of turtles and their long life. Mars however conjuncts my Venus which I feel matches more the eagle spirit.

I took a little personality quiz just now and came up with Owl.

I could see either, or a combination of them.

- Solitude / recluse / Private
- Intuitive
- Opportunist
- Survivalist (will hunt or scavenge)
- Observer
- Equipped to defend

I also have a spirit guide, as seen by an elder, which is the polar bear... Pretty Scorpio too, I think, and also resonates with my Capricorn moon. I live in a province where polar bears live, and have befriended the one at the zoo (I go to the zoo to make offerings and friendships, to honour those animal spirits... for a long time I didn't go to the zoo until I had a vision that those souls had chosen to incarnate there to hold space and transmit energy from this geographical location... a sacrifice, it seems, but a gift as well...).

Anyway, like the polar bear, I am happy raising my young alone. I am strong and enjoy solitude, and can survive and thrive in harsh conditions. I also LOVE swimming!!

The ones at the zoo are sooo inspiring underwater, kicking off from the rock walls and being generally incredible.. so beautiful .

Ohh wow, dragons are cool. You should watch game of thrones and the mother of dragons .

I'm a Taurus rising, Venus/Pluto Scorpio conj DC
Neptune/Jupiter trine/sextile 0 degrees

Felines in general, I love cats. I have tons of dreams with cats in them, all kinds even crazy surreal shape shifting cats. I have a cat friend named arcane, he's white, a little ice prince and is one of my best little buddies, he's my cat child.

Also, my Mayan sign is the jaguar, and in Egyptian astrology I'm Bastet the cat goddess.

Next to cat, id say lizard. I've read that Libra's animal was lizards haha, I can relate.

When I pulled my animal totem cards they were so spot on, there's 7 you pull, and the first 4 I pulled were Bat, Black Jaguar, Lizard then Butterfly. To the T perfect for me, I resonate with these animal guides

Some people call me "bunny" - also generally peaceful but skittish animals.

I don't know which test others took, but I received a wolf as my result for one. Social animals, but also loners, in a sense, which is fitting right now.

yes, I love owls, too, and think they make sense.

Though interestingly enough my mom was telling this story how when i was being born two doves were starting to nest beyond my window, and then after we moved a few years later, when we settled into the new home, again a pair of doves was starting to nest near my window. In fact there is still a pair of doves.... you get the pattern.

Other than that, I know sounds too normal, but cats. they keep patrolling around my appartment especially if my parents, who live next door are gone, and now and then will just appear in my path, and remind me of something I almost forgot to do or pay attention. lol

But then I do love birds (and cats as well, yes), owls, crows, etc. Crows and crowlike birds in particular often come down to me or sit somewhere and apparently try to tell me something. Unfortunately I do not speak crowish.

At the bookstore, I sit next to the windows in the corner - a wall of glass - or at a table close to them.

I much prefer being outside when I can be, though. I used to spend a lot of time reading in the garden, either on the deck, or stretched out on the grass, surrounded by books. I missed out on that again this year (I always seem to end up being up all night, even though I generally prefer the sunshine, and being up all day). Maybe my totem is a bat.

I tried a meditation nine years ago, when hay house had the free radio online, and Doreen Virtue's husband had a show. All I remember is coming across a bear. I used to have dreams of being dragged under water by something, and then the dreams changed to bears trying to break into the house, or crowding into the garden, coming out of the woods.

If Bat is your Animal Totem;
You are highly sensitive to and extremely aware of your surroundings and have a powerful ability to see through illusions. You tend to dive straight to the heart of matters, are extremely social and have strong family ties. You are nurturing, have good communications skills and use your sense of touch as part of communicating. You are very perceptive on a psychic level and are prone to having prophetic dreams. You are also highly adaptable to any situation you find yourself in.
