JACKSON, Wyo. — The full ‘Pink Moon’ last night was the first full moon of the spring, and what better way to figure out how to best reemerge in a new season than looking to the local wildlife?

Aquarius – The Grizzly Bear

Aquariuses, look to the grizzly bear! These deep thinking air signs are intelligent, visionary, quick tempered and detached from others at certain times, similar to the highly intelligent, adaptive and reactive grizzly. The grizzly bear should inspire you to focus on energizing yourself with nourishing, healthy and local food this spring as a way to sustain your thought processes and maintain self-awareness.

Pisces – The Sandhill Crane

Pisces, follow the sandhill crane! These emotional water signs experience strong feelings that make them compassionate but quickly overwhelmed, qualities they share with the sandhill cranes who make deep connections with each other and whose communication is complexly expressive. The sandhill crane’s spring migration should motivate you to make a journey this spring, close or far, to explore your emotional capacities and bonds.

Aries – The Wolf

Aries, look to the wolf! These energetic, adventurous fire signs are optimistic, bold and reckless leaders, like the confident, playful but commanding wolves. The wolf should encourage you to hunt down a dream or goal you’ve been hesitant to go after while intentionally tempering your overly competitive nature with strong emotional attachments.

Taurus – The Beaver

Tauruses, take note from the beaver! These dependable, intellectual earth signs are hardworking and dedicated with perfectionist tendencies, similar to the beaver who is hardworking and focused with an unwavering mental tenacity. The beaver should encourage you to build something this spring, whether that’s a new relationship, friendship, career, travel itinerary or schedule to expand the boundaries of your stability.

Gemini – The Coyote

Geminis, it’s time to talk coyote! These whimsical and witty air signs are curious, never boring and unpredictable, much like the intelligent, adventurous and impulsive coyote. The coyote should inspire you to be adaptive this spring and pick one thing in your habits or thoughts that’s not working for you to change so that you can stay in commitments you’ve already made to others.

Cancer – The Black Bear

Cancers, channel the black bear! These introverted, compassionate water signs are loyal, protective and sometimes closed-off, not unlike the thoughtful, emotionally intelligent but shy black bear. The black bear should motivate you to increase your activity levels this spring and pick any type of exercise as a way to get you out of your introversion and insecurities.

Leo – The Greater Sage Grouse

Leos, look to the sage grouse! These confident, passionate fire signs are ambitious, loving and adoration-seeking, much like the greater sage grouse who is a bold, romantic attention-seeker in the spring! The greater sage grouse should encourage you to channel your energy into your love life and turn your ego into a protectiveness that’s more generous than self-serving.

Virgo – The Bison

Virgo, take note of the bison! These practical, diligent earth signs are loyal, hardworking Type As, similar to the dependable, resourceful but sometimes intolerant bison. The bison should push you to be intentional about choosing a few things to commit to compromising on instead of making judgements, because you’ll benefit the most from a support system as changes occur this spring.

Libra – The Fox

Libras, follow the fox! These aesthetic, extroverted air signs are diplomatic, communicative but often unreliable, traits shared with the intelligent, determined but often elusive fox. The fox and its spring denning should inspire you to create or redecorate a space you frequent often to make it as welcoming and comfortable for yourself as possible to calm your indecision.

Scorpio – The Moose

Scorpio, it’s time to channel the moose! These intensely emotional water signs are ambitious, discerning but also aggressive, traits shared with the independent, observant and reactive moose. The moose, as they search their habitats for new buds this spring, should encourage you to settle down and look for new beginnings and things that excite you where you already are.

Sagittarius – The River Otter

Sagittariuses, find your inner river otter! These creative and non-commital fire signs are empathetic trail blazers who are spontaneous and impatient, not unlike the active, witty and social river otters. As they do their spring fishing, the river otter should push you to dive deeper with yourself and with others to be intentionally more thoughtful and less idealistic in your life.

Capricorn – The Bighorn Sheep

Capricorns, look to the bighorn sheep! These driven earth signs are responsible overachievers who sometimes struggle to express themselves, traits shared by the ambitious and stoic-looking bighorns. The bighorn sheeps’ spring return to higher elevations should motivate you to get into the mountains as much as possible to foster deeper appreciation for what you already have.
