Those born under the Strong Sun Moon, between June 21 and July 22, have the carnelian agate as their totem in the mineral kingdom, the wild rose as their totem in the plant kingdom and the flicker as their totem in the animal kingdom. Their colour is the pink of the rose and the flicker, and they are of the Frog elemental clan.
Carnelian is a clear chalcedony, which ranges in colour from pink to red to yellow. Because of its colour, the carnelian has been associated with blood. It was considered to be an emergency stone useful in healing injured people and stopping the flow of blood. It is also associated with the heart and carried, is said to keep the heart healthy. Like their stone, these people are often associated with the idea of ornamentation, especially of the home, because having a comfortable and beautiful dwelling is very important to them. Flicker people are very home-oriented, and they function best when their home, be it physical, mental or emotional, is in proper order and an attractive place to be. Like their stone, these people are easily engraved with new thoughts and feelings, and once this engraving has been done, they are very solid in their belief in whatever new concepts have been put upon them. However, they analyze and take time to consider first.
These people have the ability to flow freely with life. They are useful to have around in an emergency. Their hearts are capable of overflowing love to those around them.
Flicker people, like their plant the wild rose, have a wild quality about them and a special attractiveness when they are in a natural setting. When their lives are in flower, they bring happiness to those around them. Like the rose, these people are also useful because of their deep inner knowledge....like the rose hip. Rose hip or rose petal tea is useful for these people to keep their blood in a clean state and to help with any colds or flu.
Their colour is pink which is the colour of universal love.
The animal totem is the flicker, which is the most numerous and mystical member of the woodpecker family. Unlike other woodpeckers they spend a lot of time on the ground and will perch upright on limbs as songbirds do. The flicker is considered to be a courageous bird, and they are especially valued because of their drumming. Their drumbeat, like the beat of any drum, represents the beat of the heart and the beat of the earth. Flicker people do have mystical abilities when they are in balance. They don't realize what guides them and find it difficult to explain to others the decisions they make.
People of this moon need to be able to drum and sing their song in life, whatever they perceive that song to be. But, before they feel balanced enough to do that singing, they must first have a comfortable nest. More than most people they have a true love of home. Part of the harmonious home must be people with whom they feel a true oneness. Relationship is very important to these folks, and they will give much of their energy to establishing and maintaining good relationships with others.
When other people from other totems find themselves in this place on the Medicine Wheel, they will be able to learn about their own needs for giving and receiving love and for following their own perceptions and intuitions. They will also learn about their own sense of security and their personal need to find a spiritual direction that helps them to channel the life energy that always flows through all of us.
