In this paper, we calculate Frenet frames of the tangent indicatrix (t), principal normal indicatrix (n) and binormal indicatrix (b) of the curve α in ℝ3 which are spherical curves. Also, we give some differential equations which are characterizations for (t), (n) and (b) to be general helix. Morever we give a characterization for tangent indicatrix (t) to be a circle.
