The Fighting Hawk loves to protect “his people.” With masculine energy that’s slightly more intense than that of the Hunting Hawk, he’s more assertive and straightforward.
At heart, he’s like Aeneas, the soldier who led his people out of danger in the Trojan War. Hinmatu Yalakekt (Chief Joseph), tribal leader of the Nimi Ipu, exemplified this type of man.
His natural strength is providing stability.
A natural leader, the Fighting Hawk is intense on the inside, calm on the outside. He tries to avoid conflict, but stands fast in the face of danger. He seeks power, and likes wielding it, but employs it in the service of others.
Because he’s inclined to impose order on the world, he can sometimes lack flexibility. But this also enables him to provide much-needed stability in chaotic times and places. When things are uncertain, he’s a reassuring presence.
What matters most to him is order.
Protecting people and maintaining order provides the Fighting Hawk with an outlet for his energy. He tends to fit well in established organizations, as he seeks to minimize the risk to which they’re averse.
While he’s calm on the outside, he’s intense on the inside, and sometimes needs a respite from responsibility. He gets it by relaxing with his woman and/or close friends at home, or in other comfortable and quiet surroundings.
He is poised and professional.
The Fighting Hawk has a direct, unwavering gaze. He may not be big or imposing—his strength lies within. His clothes are functional and appropriate: he feels most at home in some sort of uniform.
He tends to hold “protector” roles like policeman, soldier, fireman. He may hold office, or serve in a similar public role. He might say, “I finished the marathon,” or, “The perimeter is secure.”
