Cherokee Astrology: Animal Medicine in the Stars by Raven Hail

In the Cherokee religion, everything on Earth is a reflection of a star, not only people and animals but also trees, rivers, stones, and mountains. Because of this belief, Cherokee astrology has always had strong roots and because it is based on a 260-day Venus calendar, there was a "daykeeper "to coordinate this with the Sun and the Moon. Like all astrology, it is used to determine the most auspicious times for ceremonies as well as the individual’s role in the great cosmic scheme. Author Raven Hail, an elder of the Cherokee nation, has provided an easy-to-use format that allows readers to quickly determine which sign rules the day of their birth and which number has influence over it.
