If your birthday falls between January 20th and February 18th, your birth totem is the Otter. You were born under the element of air during the Rest and Cleansing Moon with Waboose (White Buffalo) acting as your Spirit Guide throughout your lifetime. You have a strong connection to the winds of the North and you belong to the Butterfly Clan. You will find a connection with your plant totem, the Quaking Aspen or the Fern. Silver or turquoise act as your mineral totem.
You are active physically, mentally, and emotionally because of your connection with the Butterfly Clan. You find new and unusual ways of doing things and like Air you are always shifting and moving much like the Butterfly. Butterfly people look for ways to serve the people and usually help others in the healing of mind, body, and spirit.
But what does Otter bring you as your birth totem? Whether you are male or female, Otter looks at your feminine energy. Yes, guys, everyone has a feminine side to their inner being. Sister Otter teaches us the importance of balancing our energies.
We learn from the playful otter have a space where others can enter our lives without being judged with suspicion or any preconceived barriers. Otter is never jealous or catty. The Sisterhood of humans allows for us to believe that all accomplishments are beneficial for the entire tribe and should be celebrated. It does not matter whether you had the accomplishment or your neighbor had it.
Otter swims through the river of life spreading joy in her playful ways and her receptive nature.

Hi I’m very interested to see an Otter plant a fern , I have a fern and I do love them. Also turquoise and silver. I do help in a group for people with mental health conditions and my son has schizophrenia and autism, I have empathy and see them all as people with great personalities and abilities. I think this matches the meaning of the Otter. Glad to see the White Buffalo is a guide, I have a nice wood painting of white buffalo in the sky. Thanks for your wisdom
