I was able to read this book over my work day Friday and I’m so happy I picked it up! During the first read, I learned so much about Sun Bear’s worldview and how I can integrate it into my own life. I would recommend everyone learn more about The Medicine Wheel, specifically how it is viewed by the First Nations communities in your area.

This is funny...I read this book in 2019 and just read it again this year. I really love the Earth astrology concept...also recs for herbal medicine and crystals are very informative and helpful. I wish I had room to create a medicine wheel in my yard but alas I do not.

I have kept this book (among 10 others) by my bedside for about 20 years. I return to it regularly. A unique approach to astrology.

This is a very interesting read for those who love astrology. You can see the similarities between the earth astrology and the astrological signs. But it also goes a little deeper into totems and aspects of the animals that I felt were also very true to my being.

Its a fun, little, worthy astrology book. Is for beginners though. Its not much philosophy, but mainly descriptions of the sign archetypes from a more native american perspective.

I suggest EVERYONE read this whether they are into astrology or not! This book gives you information about yourself as well as others and how to build successful connections with all.
