We’ve all heard of spirit animals. Most of us have taken quizzes on the internet to know what our spirit animal is, to understand if we share the same characteristics or if we can relate to its personality. But do we know what spirit animals are? According to some traditions, a spirit animal is a spirit that guides and protects us beyond the realms of the known universe. It is believed by some that our spirit animal has similar traits as us; others believe that we could be aligned through the stars, planets, and moon in ways that connect us beyond this world. Spiritually, it is believed that we are in synchronization where our energies are manifested onto the universe. In a metaphorical and humorous sense, even people are seen as spirit animals to others who admire or relate to them.
We connect to our spirit animals in a deep sense. The challenges we face in life, with our relationships and our well being, and how we bloom in the environment we are exposed to, are not that different from how animals handle the same situations. Zodiac signs can influence our personality traits, just like spirit animals. Based on the 12 zodiac signs, let’s see what our spirit animals are.
