ASTROLOGY SACRED the Cherokees
The Cherokees believed that everything on Earth is the reflection of a star. This not only includes people and animals, but also the trees, rivers, rocks and mountains.
The Cherokees believed that everything on Earth is the reflection of a star. This not only includes people and animals, but also the trees, rivers, rocks and mountains. Because of this belief, astrology has always played an important role in its tradition but, unlike Western astrology, cheroqui astrology is based on Venus calendar of 260 days, which includes 20 signs of individual day and 13 numbers . The guardian of the day played the task of coordinating this calendar with the sun and moon to determine the most appropriate times for ceremonies as well as to understand the wisdom of star that every newborn brought back to Earth. The day sign of every creature explains their strengths and weaknesses; the number exposes their individual role in the great cosmic scheme. For the first time, it made accessible knowledge of this astrology to people outside the Cherokees by Raven Hail tradition, an old woman belonging to the Cherokee nation. We are provided tuned descriptions of each of the twenty signs that identify the distinctive features of those born under a sign of particular day, whether the turtle, the rush, the whirlwind or the wolf and the meanings of the thirteen numbers are interpreted that determine the meaning of that sign in the grand scheme of life. Hail has translated traditional ephemeris Cherokees to a user-friendly format that allows readers to quickly determine what sign rules the day of his birth and what number has influence over him.
