Artist Notes:
|
This Native American zodiac card represents the Goose, for those born December 22 - January 19. The artwork depicts a dignified goose with brown and cream plumage, wearing a decorative necklace. The bird stands against a rich tapestry of traditional Native American geometric patterns in warm earth tones of brown, orange, and rust, set on the characteristic wooden background. Goose people are associated with the Earth element and display traits of being practical, disciplined, loyal, and protective. Their strengths include determination, hard work, and natural leadership abilities. However, their weaknesses can manifest as stubbornness, overcommitment, and being perceived as overly serious. The artistic style maintains the series' blend of realistic animal portraiture with indigenous cultural motifs, presenting the goose as a stately and reliable figure that embodies the steadfast, responsible nature attributed to this sign in Native American spiritual traditions.
