NANA (Aries) Crusader
March 21 - April 20
Aries, NANA in Hawaiian mythology, is
depicted by a Crusader with a headstrong force like the Ram in Greek mythology.
Those born under the ancient sign of
NANA are gifted with a driving force bent on achieving their life's ambition. Positive and
enterprising, NANAS set the highest standards for themselves. The NANA Crusader is garbed
in a gourd helmet that is a ritual mask signifying, not war, but the ability to fight
mightily. However, theirs is not with weapons, but with their heads; that is to say, in
the field of thought. In ancient Hawaii, crusaders willingly assumed seemingly impossible
tasks required of them. To succeed, they would call upon one of their Aumakuas (family
gods) asking for the wisdom and strategy to overcome their adversaries. Inherent in the
NANA are such characteristics. They have the resourcefulness to channel their energies,
and if need be, ram through their ideas with an optimism and vitality that attributes to
their leadership qualities. The NANA persons demand of themselves a strict adherence to
work and steadfastness that's ready to challenge the opposition with a strength of
conviction and brilliance that disarm criticism. Yet, NANA males and females are
warm-hearted, displaying such refreshing, lively attributes and generous show of
affection, it is clear why they are life's greatest reformers and crusaders. According to
the Hawaiian Calendar, NANA is the "Moon of Blossoming Flower" month.
