The Tikbalang, a half-horse, half-human guardian of the forest, mirrors Aries’ headstrong and adventurous nature. Known for its fiery energy, the Tikbalang challenges anyone brave enough to enter its domain-–much like Aries, who thrive on overcoming challenges head-on.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): The Kapre

Like Geminis, Duwendes are known for their unpredictable duality—they can bring either good fortune or mischief depending on how they’re treated. These small, magical beings thrive on curiosity and interaction, making them a perfect match for the zodiac’s social butterfly.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22): The White Lady

The White Lady, often associated with sorrowful hauntings, resonates with Cancer’s deep emotional connection to the past. While both are protective and nurturing, they can also be overwhelming in their intensity, much like this spectral figure.  

Leo (July 23 – August 22): The Nuno sa Punso

Traits: Charismatic, proud, protective

The Nuno sa Punso is a respected guardian of its territory, just as Leo, who fiercely protects its pride and domain. Though small in stature, the Nuno demands respect and can unleash its wrath if slighted—much like Leo’s roaring response to disrespect.
