Rams (also known as Big Horn Sheep) symbolize new beginnings. As a totem animal, the ram encourages taking leaps into new territory. The toes on their hooves assist with gripping and absorbing the impact of moving between small surfaces. In spirit, the ram calls for one to learn how to secure new opportunities quickly with the confidence that all will work out in the end.
The most prominent feature of rams are their large, spiral horns. These represent high mental activity. Those with the ram as their totem animal must work to continuously stimulate their imagination, creativity, and intellect in the spirit of “growing their horns”. They also symbolize power and strength, encouraging one to assert and test their strength to move into new positions. Ram people should ask themselves what steps they are taking to carry out their ideas and if there are new openings calling for immediate action.
If you resonate with the Ram or have it as your animal totem, see below for stones whose energy can help you connect on a deeper level.
