Chameleon Meaning and Symbolism

Having a Chameleon as Your Spirit Animal (Totem Animal)

To have a chameleon as your totem animal signifies that you are calm, peaceful, steady, watchful and individualistic.

You execute things slowly but are never uncertain about your goals. Just as a chameleon’s eyes can move independently and see all directions, so too you can perceive the intentions of others. To this, when you add patience, you become a master of striking at the correct moment.

Remaining preoccupied with thoughts of past and future, you often become anxious and defensive. This often makes you seek out other people to use their energies for your benefit. However, your thoughtfulness, consideration and humanitarian feelings enable you to perform charitable deeds. Thus you remain socially exciting. It is only when you become too idealistic, that disappointments and burnouts result.

You never stay long in a place, and though you are loyal to others, it takes a long time for you to trust others.
