Those folks who are born between August 23 and September 22 during the Harvest Moon have the amethyst as their mineral totem, the violet as their plant totem and the brown bear as their animal totem. Their colour is purple.
Brown bear people like their stone, usually show good judgement, justice and courage in their dealings with the world. They are valuable friends and coworkers, and popular with all who know them. Like the amethyst, these people have the power to protect themselves from extremes, whether of alcohol, or negativity.
Brown bear people usually make powerful speakers who can help large numbers of people to the need for a harmony in their own lives. They also make good supervisors and teachers of others, since they tend to be coolly rational, precise in thought and presentation, and accurate in statements.
The colour purple is the colour of inspiration and of spiritual insight. It can also indicate a love of humanity.
Like the violet, Brown bear people have a cool quality about them, but this often hides depths of sentiment as tender as those the violet is often used to express. Folks of this totem can feel things strongly, but they often prefer to show their feelings through working to improve the lives of those they love, rather than just talking about their emotions.
Like their totem, people of this moon are not terribly home oriented. They can be comfortable in whatever den they can locate. They do require that home is neat and organized.
Brown bear people are usually enthusiastic eaters and enjoy a wide variety of foods.
They are curious about the world. They like to know what makes everything run, both human and otherwise, especially since this can help them to fix things when they go wrong. These folks are slow and deliberate, taking quite some time before becoming involved in something new. They like to enjoy life and will make life comfortable. They usually slow down in the winter. And are good natured, cheerful, gentle and confident. They are clever and can do anything they set their mind to do.
When people traveling around the wheel find themselves in this position, they will learn about their own judiciousness, discrimination, analytical and reasoning abilities. They will learn how to balance their own physical and spiritual energies while keeping themselves well grounded on the earth.
