What animal do you most relate to?

Spirit animals are prevalent in many traditions all over the world and in many different religions and belief systems. You may have heard of spirit animals before, but if you haven’t, they are entities who protect and guide individuals through life.

What is your zodiac sign’s spirit animal personality type? In astrology, certain zodiac signs are also considered an archetypal spirit animal of sorts. In fact, all Sun signs, with the exception of Libra, represent a type of animal that provides some form of insight to a person’s horoscope and personality and purpose here on earth.

Spirit animals, also sometimes known as power animals, guide individuals using traits like wisdom, knowledge, kindness, confidence, and more. Spirit animals are meant to be symbolic representations of our characters and personalities, and when life gets confusing or hard to understand, our spirit animals act as guides that are there to help influence our lives in a positive way.

Even when we’re going through confusing or rough experiences, our spirit animal is there to help us get through a tough time and enlighten us. In many traditions and religions, animals are seen as sacred and important influences.

The animal itself may differ, one basic message remains the same: relationships with animals are powerful and influential.

This means that the relationship you have with your spirit animal should not be taken lightly. This isn’t something that is meant for entertainment value – it’s a tribute to our personal journeys in life and a way for us to better understand the lessons we go through, both good and bad.

Depending on what your zodiac sign is, you have a spirit animal that depicts the kind of person you are, as well as what your zodiac sign should always strive for in life.

We may not always want to hear the lesson our spirit guide is trying to tell us, but just like embracing the good in life, we must also use the bad or hard to swallow to become better versions of ourselves. Just like animals themselves are sacred and important, so are spirit, or power, animals, so use your spirit animal for support and guidance in a respectful way.

According to astrology, is the type of spirit animal you are, based on your zodiac sign.

On top of that, you embody the cheetah in your hyper-focus. When you lock eyes onto your prey – or a goal you are determined to achieve, in your case – you don’t let up until you get what you want. You are a force to be reckoned with, and people listen when you speak.

Scorpio, your spirit animal is a phoenix. Like this animal, your personality is two-fold. There is the outer personality that you may use as a way to protect yourself from danger or heartbreak, but underneath that part of you, there is a softer, gentler side that is open and vulnerable.

Like this creature, you can also be very patient and assertive. You will bide your time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to snap appears, before opening up your jaws and taking everyone by surprise at your strength and agility.

Just like there are friendly spiders, there are also very territorial spiders. You embrace both the light and dark sides of yourself – also known as the positive and negative sides – in everything you do. Your complex nature makes it hard for just anyone to understand who you are, which is why some people fear you (like they fear spiders).
