When Cat is your spirit animal
As your spirit animal, the Cat gives you independence and the certainty of always picking yourself back up. Your task is to keep your autonomy without closing yourself off from genuine connection. Your spirit animal arises from your birth nakshatra — the lunar mansion in which the Moon stood at your birth. The Cat (element Air) is assigned to the nakshatra Punarvasu; if your Moon stands there, the Cat is your companion. Key themes: Independence, intuition, fresh starts.
Your strengths with the Cat spirit animal
You need no constant approval and make decisions from within yourself, regardless of the applause. After setbacks you get back up surprisingly fast and find new footing. Your intuition often guides you more surely than any long analysis.
