Has a part of yourself felt misunderstood or neglected? Perhaps you have felt moments of feeling like you don’t belong “here”. When Alien shows up, you are being called to get to know more of yourself, and get curious about your own story. Something around you in your environment may be contributing to othering you in some way. Notice what rituals, practices or part of life feel foreign or unfamiliar to you, and make note of what parts within those things you find particularly challenging. You are being called to know more of yourself; understand more of yourself; hold more of yourself. You are ready to understand new depths to your nature. Let your inner curiosity take up more space in your life as you may soon be moving through a great spiritual transformation. Your subconscious is rising to the surface and wanting to communicate something with your conscious spirit. You are entering a time of significant awareness building.

You are allowed to protect your environment and whatever falls in your personal territory or space. Check in with your boundaries; are you feeling safe and protected, or is there someone or something not respecting your boundaries? You may have found yourself in a dark time of life recently, or clouded headspace, but trust that you are emerging from it. Instead of forging ahead into new ground and new territory, take your time to process what you’re learning and where you’ve been. It’s a privilege to process as some minds do not learn how.

If an angelic being shows up, regardless of how they present themselves, you are being given a loud message. HAVE FAITH. TRUST THE PROCESS. There is guidance and protection around you at this time, so do your best to notice the angels in everyday life. Remember to give thanks and count your blessings. Remember that everyone is worthy. Have you been treating others fairly and with respect and love? You may see more winged creatures at this time, feathers, or even Angel numbers. These are all reminders that you are never alone, and that your spiritual team can be summoned whenever you wish. They are always with you. Their abilities and wisdoms are your own. You have your own powers and abilities; how might you tap into them and let them take up more space in your life? Fall into the lap of life’s comforts at this time, and cleanse your physical space as much as possible. Bring more white or light colours into your home and wardrobe, and remember to open your heart to the one’s who need it most. This is a time to seek higher wisdom and understanding, falling back on your studies, beliefs, and experiences.

Small creatures like this really know how to cooperate. Where can you cooperate more in your life? Does a specific area come to mind, or perhaps a dynamic between you and another? You can lean on your family (or who feels like family) and your support group/network. Trust your people want to support you. You don’t have to do this alone, but it’s coming time to put your head down and focus. Get to work!

This creature is a powerful digger. Is there something you’re trying to get underneath, get to the bottom of, or understand more deeply? What parts of your life are hidden underground, beyond the view of your ordinary life? When Badger shows up, examine your boundaries. Are you currently in a more solitary phase, or are you leaning on your family clan or chosen circle? Go beneath what is obvious. Hold your ground, remain firm in your personal boundaries, and allow your interests to lead you deeper. Badger can hunt beneath the visible landscape, but its powerful shoulders may also point to carrying the weight of the world. What are you shouldering right now? This creature is also an ecosystem engineer: its private, underground activity changes the wider landscape around it, and creates opportunities for others. Its appearance may remind you that your private work and interests affect the larger field — even when nobody can see what you are doing. Badgers also sometimes hunt alongside coyotes. This may be a sign to look at the “big dogs” in your life: the people who possess influence, skill, or authority. Who embodies those qualities, and could an unusual alliance help you reach something neither of you could access alone? Consider how you could change the field.

Don’t fear the bat — Life is about to get much more spiritual. The Bat has a way of accessing information even if it can’t see it the way others do. It communicates differently. It’s time to confront your fears; trust that you’re ready! You’re so ready; the time is here. You can surrender and trust what is coming your way. Release old habits that you have outgrown, for they no longer serve you and can hold you back. Bats are often in other “bat company” so do your best to SURROUND yourself with likeminded others.

(black, grizzly, koala, polar, panda, etc)

This is a powerful frequency — do not compromise! You are allowed to ask or inform what you want or what you want to happen. It may be wise for you to retreat to “hibernate” like the Bear does; seeking solitude at this time may help you reestablish boundaries, as the growth you’ve experienced has pushed past old boundaries and you’re being asked to review them. Go within and search inside yourself instead of seeking something on the outside. Bears also represent protection, especially if cubs are around.

This is a time to be intentional with your time and energy, and not waste it or spend it erratically. Take considerable care to assess your environment to ensure it’s meeting your needs; don’t be afraid to make an adjustment if needed. You must first admit what is/isn’t holding you in your space, and be brave enough to channel the beaver and “build/find” what is needed around you to ensure your den is holding you. Be mindful not to spin your tires, keeping busy just for the sake of it. Pay attention and notice your energy in the coming days and where it is going. How much is going toward rest? How much is going toward work? A person? Something else? Are you feeling balanced?

The Bee knows how to cooperate. Are there areas in your life where you can work together? Consider your connections through your support network and what you have in common. Is there a shared goal? You can trust your people want to support you. Where can you find the sweet spot? The Bee loves their work and finds it deeply fulfilling. It can point to a time of productivity and focus.

Beetles are heart healers. They are powerful symbols that take care of the dead and are deeply connected to Egyptian culture and the mummification process. Their presence is shamanic, opening up portals between worlds. Their presence is a reminder of your strength and wisdom from your experiences. Beetle wears an armour to protect itself, and calls you to evaluate the armour you have set out for yourself; does it still fit? It is preventing your growth? Do you need fresh armour for where you are now? Beetle’s presence is supportive through transformational times.

This is exciting and brave energy. Try something new! Is there something that is calling to you — or new territory you are drawn to explore? You will always be taken care of and you can trust in this. Trust in the flow of the universe, and in your seasonal rhythms. Do your best to be appreciative of the abundance and what you have. If you don’t feel that you are abundant, these animals challenge you to see he abundance that is truly there. If you look, you will see it. This is a sign of strength and deep connection to the earth’s rhythms.

This is a loud omen. This highly intelligent and adaptable bird is related to the Crow and Raven — bringing important messages to pay attention to. It’s time to choose a direction. Blue Jays are deeply connected to their family systems, and bring a message of protecting your boundaries, your sacred chosen family, and to recognize that your message is changing and adapting. You are at a time where you’re called to be more visible in the world, but also called to increase your ability to be discerning through all the increasing noise around you. The noise will continue to increase.

Like the Crow & Raven, this blue bird can mimic voices; consider your relationship with mimicry or the noises around you that are mimicking something deeper going on. The Blue Jay is actually brown, but a trick of the light passing through makes them blue. What does this bring up in you? Not everything around you is what it seems.

What would it feel like to move through the world both relaxed and alert, Big Cat? Bobcat invites you into a season of sharpening your awareness without becoming consumed by it. Pay close attention to what your instincts are telling you, especially when something feels subtly out of place. Not every truth announces itself loudly. Sometimes the smallest observations reveal the biggest patterns. This is a time to simplify, observe, and keep your own counsel until you understand the full picture. Spend time in nature, limit unnecessary noise, and allow your senses to recalibrate. Stay curious. Stay grounded. Stay quietly aware.

See Bison.

You are strong. You hold masculine wisdom, and a potential endurance. But you need to be awakened to activate yourself fully. Your full potential remains untapped. There is a rugged strength you possess that must evolve into something that better serves this version of you. Your determination can move your forward, and also prevent you from pausing to rest and look around. How might you find peace in the sacrificial nature of what’s happening around you? Keep your head up for new knowledge may be coming to you soon.

Where can you invite lightness into your experience? The Butterfly represents transformation of some kind, be that physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. Great change is coming! If you’ve been considering a change, now is the time to implement it. Spread your wings! And don’t be afraid to lighten up; you do not need to take things so seriously.

When you slow down and practice mindfulness, expanding your ability to be present… what do you notice your senses are telling you? Trust your senses. Are you ignoring them? Whatever energy is before you, know that you CAN move through it. Your feet will carry your forward. You have all the ability within you — even if you don’t have feet! You may not have the support around you that you feel you need, but do your best to trust YOU have what you need to proceed anyway. Stay practical.

Red bird! Red bird! Look here — pay attention! “When Cardinals are here, Angels are near.” Often a connection with the Christian faith, the Cardinal is a bold sign of hope and lightworkers present — they’re a very positive omen. It is connected to the ones we love the most, and how their spirit is around us and in us even if they are far away — physically or spiritually. This bird mates for life, deeply connected to its soulmate. They are a sign of a fortunate relationship and often are a sign of confidence! The Red Cardinal is male (females are pale brown) his Colour helping him attract his mate. Though this red bird represents a male or masculine spirit, it is deeply connected to the feminine. Balanced. The Cardinal is most territorial of his mate and his home. Representing fierce guardianship, know that your friends, chosen family, and angels are among you at this time — willing to support you with whatever you need. You are surrounded by this energy whether you realize it or not. Unburden your heart. You have company ready to help. Look around you: who are the angels in your life? God works in mysterious ways.

A long journey is coming to an end. This could be an emotional, spiritual or mental journey. A deep medicine to assist in this crossover and completion is to seek deep camaraderie. Seek those you resonate with on a sensational level, where shared nostalgic laughter is both a support and a balm. End of chapter. Be held in the lap of the mother.

Let change come. Be where you are as these moments are impermanent and fleeting. What beauty do you see when you stop to take a moment to breathe and take it all in? There will always be obstacles in your path, but how might you delight in overcoming them — transforming life into a game of personal development. Be mindful of your vulnerabilities at this time, and remember that you are still in the early stages of something new. Let yourself be there. Be where you are. Change is coming.

Cats activate some of the darkness we hold inside us, stirring it with magic. The cat should be translated along with its colour for deeper insight. It brings a message of curiosity and staying sharp; don’t let your senses grow lazy now! This is an independent frequency that is activating your being. Cats remind us to remember the magic of aliveness, and how awareness and intelligence are both curious things that you have droves of. Why does the cat notice all? You are attracted to a grace and elegance right now and could learn much from observing others you find to exude this quality. What do you see in them? Note what the cat is doing when you see it in your journey, and keep an eye on the cunning characters in your life at this time.

Caution. Something might not be safe around you; proceed with caution. Stay in the background. You may need to camouflage to hide and stay safe; be patient to reveal your true colours. This creature is a shapeshifter and can hide itself when it doesn’t feel safe to be seen. It blends into its environment. Consider what you were doing when the chameleon showed up or what was going on around the chameleon for more insight. It will be time to reveal yourself soon! Remember: change your environment, change your colours. Look to the chameleons colours for more information.

You’re entering a time where the pace may shift or quicken, Big Cat. Bursts or surges of energy may find you, but you’ll need ample recovery time in order to keep up with the speed. When the energy finds you, go all in. When it runs out, don’t force it. Help your body through the change by tending to your body with great intention; stretch throughout the day, dance, twist, and feel the range available in your current state of flexibility. You are being called to increase your flexibility and speed. A certain adaptability is necessary to support you through times where the course may change quickly, or the river may suddenly flow more rapidly. We are not in control of what life delivers us or what we come across on our path, but preparing our bodies and minds to stay flexible for whatever may come is a radical act of preparedness, and self-respect. You are being called to give your best. What will help you achieve your best? Take your skills to another place.

The chicken, or the egg? When Chicken shows up, you are reminded that there can be hidden meaning in your experiences; hidden meaning in what others say; hidden meaning in all kinds of places. A sign of new beginnings, let yourself ponder for a time — wander for a time. This is an important part of your process in laying new eggs. You can’t be laying eggs constantly-all-day-everyday. You are called to make sacrifices for the greater good, whatever that may mean to you. No more being chicken — it’s time to let that Personality shine! Walk your walk. Strut your stuff. There is great potential around you now; growth, recognition, fertility, divination, community.

Did you mean Rooster? See Rooster.

Pay attention. Notice everything. What might you see in the details AND within the big picture? Notice the little things; the big things. Use your curiosity at this time and let yourself really get into whatever DOES grab your attention. When the chipmunk shows up, you are safe. You do not need to run, but instead, scurry about; look around and marvel at the beauty and life around. What curious things might you discover as a curious being? At this time, pay close attention to the sounds of things and not so much what is being said; mute the words and listen to the tone and energy of the speaker or entity and note the feeling you get from those sounds. They reveal something to you.

You are safe and sound.

A sign of wisdom, completion, and entering new chapters after adapting, the White Cockatoo is an indicator of clear communication and expression in the highest order up ahead. When this bird shows up, there may have been a change in your environment recently or will soon be. They appear when there are strong social connections around you sending pulses through your divine and human networks. This bird wears a royal golden crown on its head, indicating a divine connection to a higher intelligence, surrounding it with the frequency of Love & Peace. If the Black Cockatoo shows up, pay attention to the relationships and spiritual connections you have around you at this time as they are ripe with hidden meaning. If any of Colours show up and review them in the Colour Legend.

(See Vulture)

Deal with the clutter in your life, and review where the real messes are around you. It’s time to sweep something out of your life(style). If you’ve been ignoring something, it’s time to develop creative solutions to restore what has been overlooked. Your body may be communicating about the environment around you, requesting new introductions to certain foods, ideas, practices, hobbies, crafts, etc. Notice what new forms of nourishment give you a resounding and strong response within.

At this time, it's important for you to stay focused, Big Cat. You are being called to make clear, deliberate choices and trust your own judgment. Rather than scattering your energy, gather it. Rather than reacting, decide. Cougar reminds you that true strength is often quiet. You do not need to prove yourself or announce your every move. Precision, discernment, and self-respect will carry you much farther than force ever could. If life has placed heavy demands on your shoulders, return to what matters most. Protect your energy, establish healthy boundaries, and move with confidence toward what you know is right for you. Leadership may be asked of you now, but it begins by leading yourself first.

You have so much to offer. There is a fertility around you, and sense of abundance through community. How might these sources around you be nurtured or cared for? Bring more awareness to your environments. The cow acts very selflessly and brings many teachings to hold and expand with, such as the meaning in their Blackness and Whiteness (See Colours). The cow is a symbol for Mother Earth and connection to something greater; working toward greater goals, and enjoying life.

Trickery around. It’s time to laugh at yourself. Or have a little yelp! If you’ve been taking everything a little too seriously lately, be prepared for a change requiring you to soften and adjust. Good luck or bad luck: it may not be pleasant, but trust all will work out in the process. The resources or connections you need up ahead are ready and lined up for you. Power is available. It’s okay to relax in that comfort. You’re clever and you’re a survivor: keep things simple, light, and easy.

Wild Dog — See Dog, Big Dog, Wolf

There may be times where you feel you need to hide and retreat in your shell. But if you have already been hiding (and you will need to be honest with yourself about this), it’s time to come out. It is safe for you to come out of your shell, as there is plenty of nourishment you need on the outside. You know this deep inside. A shift in your surroundings is coming soon — be brave and look outside yourself. You’re in a time of growth, metamorphosis and transformation where you may “try on” different expressions.

Look inward. Balance is needed at this time. Where are things not working for you? Does something feel offset? When Crane shows up, there is a nod that you are entering a time of significant abundance, but you are cautioned to find balance so you do not burn out. This is a game of longevity and prosperity. We must be well in order to experience that. Do your best to notice the signs, hunches and feelings around you at this time. Have you been working a lot? Resting a lot? Do you feel balanced on those legs? Consider introducing a new relaxing hobby or activity into your life at this time, as it will help you move toward your next evolution. You are about to shift into something new, but you don’t have to wreck yourself in the process.

When you don't know what an insect is, look up the Creepy Crawly Omen:

God is everywhere, even in the smallest things. God is in your Home. In your Body. In the insects. Bugs are connected to divine energy and are a deeply spiritual omen. Often feared and misunderstood, even killed, how many times do we miss the divinity around us? Creepy Crawlies do their own thing without much care of what others are doing. They're on their little mission, doin their own thing, living their life, moving onward, and adapting to the constant changes in the environment around them.

This is a lucky omen. Listen to the Cricket; when all is quiet you will hear it chirping. A sign of peace in the background of life, you are entering a time of heightened intuition or sensitivity to your surroundings. These are advantageous skills for you at this time. Cultivate more quietness in your life so you can better hear the gifts in the messages around you. Abundance is en route to you so whatever is on your mind lately; whatever you are driving toward, find the steady and smooth gear that propels you there. You're going anyway. Luck is on your side. Trust yourself.

See Alligator.

Where has your energy been going? The Crow wants your energy to be directed in an even more intentional way — even if you’ve been quiet about it. The Crow wants your attention. Whatever you have been quietly manifesting is close to fruition, whether that is something practical or spiritual. At this time, do your best to notice the signs around you, as they’re ripe with clues for you on how to proceed. You can trust that change is coming… and you can Trust yourself.

You are surrounded by power and grace. Check in with yourself to see if anything has fallen out of balance lately. There are numerous areas in life to tend to. As we grow, we bring more awareness to the balance we need (and like) in life. How might you bring greater balance to all the different energies within you? Consider if you’ve been operating more in your masculine or feminine energies, or perhaps an elusive all-new energy! In the coming days, remember how strong you are and trust where your direction is taking you. As you continue growing and changing, you’ll find the balance, little deer.

It’s time to laugh with your “buddies”. Get outside, go play, cancel plans, forgive yourself about it and shake the spirits from your hair. You’ve learned from your trial and error process. Don’t give up; lighten up.

Is there something in your life that needs to be preserved? You are allowed to honour your boundaries, and even set them if necessary. Reflect on your personal territory and consider what you can do to protect it and treat it as sacred. Like the Dinosaur, there is a time of change upon you, but rather than continue forward without awareness, look back and reflect on your past experiences and the wisdom they offer you. What have you learned? Have you already been through this? Take time to reflect and process. An old energy is leaving you and will be extinct.

Open and ready to receive. There is caring, nurturing, motherly empress energy around you right now. Whether within you, through someone else, or simply in the subtle environment around you, there is divine feminine energy surrounding you. Bow to it. This is a time of spiritual surrender, bringing greater balance somewhere in life. Stay receptive at this time, and notice the ones who move with beauty and grace. Be open to the masculinity of others.

How can you give your loyalty to something? Consider what and who you love in your life, and devote time in loving service to those spaces. Whatever is going on around you, stand strong, keep your head up, and let yourself cherish what’s important to you. There are people who love and adore you that you don’t even know.

See Coyote, Big Dog, Wolf

While it’s always powerful to use your voice, do your best to ensure you’re also listening. To encourage listening in you, experiment with intentional meditation and breathwork and listening to your own thoughts, or listening to thought-provoking music. There may be someone trying to communicate with you, but you aren’t hearing what they’re actually conveying... Is there a part of yourself you aren’t hearing? We communicate in numerous ways, and not just words. You can read body language, what isn’t said, and the energy in a space. When the dolphin shows up, examine the way you have been communicating with others, and be open that you may need to make an adjustment in your communication in order to feel clearer within yourself. Communicating goes two ways. Be sure to listen; it’s a vital part of the communication process.

See Horse.

Show your love. That can be verbally, through touch, through acts and gestures, or something else. Do your best to intentionally show your love to others at this time. You are honing something inside yourself, and you will catch a glimpse of the future. You may also carry the potential for prophecy or dreamwork. Do what you can to be open in receiving this spiritual renewal as all your self-study and self-illumination or challenges have shifted you into a new energy. At this time, take care of yourself. Enjoy the practical domestic side of your experience and do your best to love and nurture your SELF.

The Dragon is a potent omen; one that demands respect and attention. It is incredibly auspicious and powerful. You’re entering a new phase of life. You need more space. There is something snake-like about the Dragon, it’s scales needed to be tended and cared for and shed. Evaluate what areas in life have been feeling tight, and where you seek expansion. Taking more risks, and being more vulnerable can be antidotes to what ails you. If you knew you were well-protected, would you open up more? At this time, seek more passion in your life, and be around others who light a warm fire in you. Surround yourself with people and things that excite you. How can your passion flow out of you while in good company? How might others support you in spreading your wings? You are entering an enriching time with great abundance and prosperity. It will be wise to know who is in your fleet. Cultivating a spacious lifestyle and mind, or devoting time to meditation will encourage insights and magic within you. Dragons are connected to some of the most ancient healing spiritual practices for humanity.

How can you connect to your deeper emotional self? Are you tangled up in too much rational and logical thought? What could you be missing by fixing yourself in that mental pattern? The specialness and magic in your life is being stirred and awakened deep within. Integrate more moments of sacredness, mysticism, divinity and meditation, to help your whole self move through this transformation . Recharge. Stay sharp for there are illusions around you. Find your intuition to see through them.

A little more playfulness and silliness steeped into life will bring about a new bolt of inspiration. Whatever manifestation reveals itself through your pleasure, harness the potential and pursue. If things have been hard, trust that the struggle has past, and you are able to restore the fun in your life as it will lead to productivity in some way. It’s okay to loosen up. In fact it leads to good things. Good things are coming. Call on your ancestors, review stories from your past; find the guiding messages within them. Sing. Chant. Share stories. Tend to your inner child.

The Eagle brings powerful omens. If there is an opportunity before you at this time, or if one that finds you soon - it is worth your consideration. Deeply consider the newness, potential or opportunity before you. Look at it from all sides, like a bird can. You are entering a MAJOR new beginning and this new direction is extremely positive and light. Though there may be challenges leading up to it, the outcome is encouraging, positive and hopeful. Remember to rise above, and view things from a wider perspective. This is a time of spiritual awakening. Transformation will follow. Whatever energy you put out will return to you karmically.

The Eel swims through the dark depths, staying hidden, watching others, and being a little mysterious. Check yourself if your cunning ways have slipped into unethical territory. Something around you could be a slippery slope. Deep root energy is awakening in you, and others may subconsciously respond to this through flirtation or even sexual advances. Have more people been hitting on you? An Eel is like a Water Snake, and will carry sexy snake-like energy and deep emotion. If you’ve been swimming deep to get to the bottom of something, trust you are close. Keep going — an end is nearing — but mistakes may have been made somewhere. Something may be shifting in your world at this time, rendering you unrecognizable! You may have even gone through a big shift in your appearance! Metaphorically, the way you see yourself may change, and the way others see and treat you will shift right along with it. You may have needed to camouflage or disguise yourself in some way in order to stay safe, or this could e something you’re experiencing now.

Long-Legged Bird. See Heron.

Don’t be afraid to use your voice. Take up space! You have the ability to speak in a way where others will listen. If you don’t make “some noise” — those who need to hear may never hear it. Pay attention to any youth and elders around you at this time as they may have important wisdom to share with you, or may need to hear something from you. Do your best to trust a little more than you are. You can trust your expression. Trust yourself.

Durability. Extra strength. Eating more energy. Consider how you eat in more ways than one. Spend time with your buddies, and integrate new healthy patterns together. Your buddies are like you. Look like you. There’s deep connection. Bring balance to the self and the relationship you have with others. Your people are here to support and help you. Are you being too fiercely independent somewhere? Is there an imbalance between you and the opposite sex?

You’re about to go on a spiritual journey. If there are new things tugging at you or fresh curiosities around you, prepare yourself to take an adventure down a spirited path. This is a time to reject any preconceived notions, previous agendas, or societal norms. You are exiting a feminine time and entering a more masculine time that is charged with direction. There may be an increase in activity or stamina soon.

When Fairies show up, there are illusions or trickery around you at this time. It is a great time to check in with yourself to ensure you’re acting credibly and with respect. Proceed with caution, although you do not need to be afraid. Just aware. Fairies are a sign of extremes; something may seem REALLY WONDERFUL or REALLY HORRIBLE. Can you look again with greater curiosity? Someone might be playing games with you, or charming their way out of responsibilities you are associated with. Is someone take-take-taking from you? Notice if your boundaries have been challenged lately, or if you feel as though someone around you is playing games with you. Conversely, you may be the game-player. Fairies can lift the wool that’s been pulled over your eyes, showing you opportunities for good fortune, but it can be tricky to decipher if there are ones around you who can’t be trusted. Fairies remind us to get out in nature to clear our spirits; shake the spirit of others from your hair, and come back to your true self. When the busy-ness around you is too much, remember to return to the nature spirits to return to joy. And remember, it can be so healing to lose yourself in a game once in awhile. Fairies are funny like that. ;)

Whatever is happening around you at this time, considering taking a step back to zoom out and see things more clearly. Sometimes when we’re too head down and focused on things, we can miss the patterns around us that reveal a bigger picture at play. Spend some time in nature — preferably with a view of something — to help integrate this birds-eye-view into your reality. There is an opportunity around you right now, and only in taking a step back might you even see it. When you view things in this way, it will become clear when it is time to strike. Once you see it, you’ll be able to fully devote yourself to that vision. Remember your body is your primary teacher, and its own rhythms and practices are connected to its surroundings and what’s available to it. Bringing more attention and awareness to your own patterns and rhythms may change the picture you see entirely.

Young, new beginnings. Innocence. Wonder. New balance. There is new creative energy around and available at this time, though be aware that when a young deer comes up there may be fawning happening somewhere in your life.

A wake up call. You are surrounded by little lights of inspiration. Who around you fills you with light? Who in your waking life inspires you in ways that feeds your soul? Each one of these people illuminate something within you. You are tasked with identifying who these light sources are, but also what they illuminate within you. This is your reminder that there is a fire and a light within you, too. Something within you burns brightly, too. Look how the fireflies are drawn to you, too. It is time to take pride in yourself. It is time to let your light shine. What do the fireflies illuminate within you? You are being called to awaken your inner light. Firefly lights your path before you as if to say — go this way! Your people are this way! Your magic is this way! Pay close attention to your surroundings when firefly shows up.

Your body wants to flow. Pay attention to your emotions at this time and notice what bubbles up within you, whether that is positive or less pleasant. Your body is experiencing powerful sensations and it is important for you to deeply consider and listen to your body’s wisdom at this time. Get into a flow.

*some fish have added meaning. See Koi, Goldfish, Salmon.

Be mindful of the sound environment around you at this time. What sounds noisy to you, and what sounds like music? This is a great time to check in with yourself and assess whether you feel out of balance anywhere in life. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do for yourself is recognize where you aren’t showing up for yourself. Consider evaluating your diet at this time, and shift your nourishment for the current season of life you’re in. Where are you wanting to make adjustments to your lifestyle? Take some time to review how you’ve been feeling in life these days.

When Fly shows up it is a sign that something around you is being neglected. This could be something with you or someone/thing around you. Has something started decaying or rotting around you? The fly gets your attention by annoying you. Is there something you’re ignoring or not giving enough attention to? The fly will pester you to take notice. They can be a sign that there is an influence in your life that is ready to be re-evaluated. Who have you been spending time with? What reoccurring thoughts have been racing through your head? Is anyone around you feeling like a pest? Whatever the fly is around when you encounter it is to be evaluated as flies can signify something is decomposing because it has been left unattended. If a Fly should land on you during your Expedition, take note of where it lands as this specific area may need tending or healing in some way.

It’s time to get clever! You can use your cunning abilities to be crafty and creative. Be mindful of anyone trying to trick you at this time. Are there others around you that you are feeling uncertain about? It’s not a time for you to move into a position or role leadership, but a time to observe those around you. Stay hidden! Stay stealth. Stay focused. Break out of your social conditioning and observe the ways others are around you and how they influence you. Enhance your passenger consciousness. You have all the resources you need. Read that again: You have all the resources you need! You got this.

How have you been feeling? It may be time to participate in some type of cleanse to your physical or emotional body. Your being needs to detox one of your subtle bodies: physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual (energetic). You are commencing a time of rebirth or transformation, but you will need to be a willing participant in the process.

By staying hidden you can maintain your freedom. Don’t get caught. Stay light on your feet. You may need to be quick soon. Your path toward greater alignment may not always move in a clear line, but you have your own special way of moving through the world. Trust that right now. You can be a shapeshifter and blend in to new or different crows when necessary.

Detach. Move on. Someone isn’t listening or seeing you and you are now wasting your energy with them or somewhere. Cut your losses and move on. This will keep you devoted to the greater project at hand, which you AREN’T giving up on. Find spiritual nourishment within and gain new perspectives that help you see more clearly. Is it time to surround yourself with new people or surroundings? 

The focus is on the neck; what are you not expressing or getting out? Notice the Giraffe’s long neck and flashy, exciting spotted exterior. The Giraffe is all about authentic expression. Sometimes that’s with words, and sometimes it is in other ways. How can you express yourself? What aren’t you getting out? It’s time to speak your truth.

If you always land on your feet, what are you afraid of? It’s time to start climbing something new. What new endeavours are before you? Move intentionally and in a prepared manner so you may be sure of your footing up ahead. You are not in a rush and do not need to push yourself while losing your head. But don’t let that stop you from reaching higher ground or for reaching to higher goals and targets. Keep your ego in check, learn about yourself along the way, and practice intentional footwork in life, whatever that may mean to you. Pursue your goals and be mindful of your stubborn side.

Fish are connected to your flow in life. This is a great time to examine your inner and outer world to ensure things are flowing smoothly. When the rivers within you flow with ease, wealth, abundance and prosperity flow to you, too. When the Goldfish shows up in life, it can be a sign of financial luck. In Feng Shui, the goldfish is very auspicious and brings great luck into the home.

At this time, work with the teachings and rituals of your ancestors, and lean in to your spiritual practices. You’re entering a great time where you can expect to find new meaning in familiar places. You can expect good fortune, protection, and auspicious to surround you in this next chapter.

Go underground! And notice what that means to YOU. Where can you look beneath the surface? Is someone hiding something? Are YOU hiding something from yourself, stuffing things down inside, hiding them for safe keeping? Rather than storing things in yourself, consider how you can prepare the environment around you to better hold you. Is there somewhere you need to investigate your home/work/friends? Take responsibility for your life and the part you play in other people’s lives. If there are people around you not taking responsibility for something or are hiding things inside, consider a playful approach to get them to open up. It’s important you can work with others to get through complex things. You don’t have to push so hard on your own and can work more with your community.

Don’t be afraid to jump. Don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith. Whatever is happening around you lately, trust that you are moving in a healthy direction, and go with it. Notice upcoming opportunities and where you feel an urge or desire around that opportunity. Take this as your sign to go for it.

Go under. Repeat. Investigate. You may retreat for a period of time, but will come back with an illuminated spirit, empowered by a new initiation, urge, divine will, or greater force. There is a powerful spirit that wants to run through you, though it will require some kind of intense effort on your part. You are being ushered toward a transformation. There may be news of change on the horizon.

Forget the world around you. Get lost deep in your body. Whatever medicines you have found in your life, apply them now and enjoy the incredulousness of your body. Explore higher states of Consciousness at this time. Be open.

A special power is around you now; a direct line to something grand and beyond yourself. You pull from this source when you open your frequency. At this time, create an intentional ceremony that honours the connection between your body and spirit, and the ones around you.

Have you become tangled in the details? Do your best to detach and zoom out on your circumstance and remember the big picture. Try to remove any distractions that have creeped into your life, and allow yourself to focus on whatever is calling to you. Defend yourself if needed, but note it is not your responsibility to change another. Instead, what can you accept? Review, study or analyze all the information… and then wait. Strike and act quickly when the time is right. Ensure your space is holding you rather than distracting you, as you will be receiving some kind of news soon and you want to ensure you don’t miss it.

Hold on. Keep your faith. Accept your life; surrender to it, and open yourself up to deep trust. What would deep trust feel like inside your body? Clarity is coming to you in the coming time, even if it is not present now. Though challenging, do your best to trust the timing of things; know that not everything needs to rush to you in this moment. Go with the flow. It will be OK. Do what you can to find your grace. Lean on loved ones. Swim. Or Fly. Or stand tall on those legs. There is a new birth/expression coming. Looking back at your past, home, childhood, or memories is suggested at this time as it may look differently from the position you hold now.

This is a sign of deep emotional intelligence. You are being encouraged to go deeper in whatever areas of your life have been calling to you. The hippo is very strong, powerful and mystical. It loves to soak, and yet when there is emotional turmoil around you for whatever reason, call upon the hippo to help you adapt, find your inner strength, and move through the motions YOUR way. This “river horse” is actually too heavy to swim, so it sinks to the bottom of the water and walks. Consider this. The hippo signifies a DEEP spiritual connection with the natural world around you, and doing things in a deep, emotional way, but at your own pace and in your own way. You’re more powerful than you likely realize, and the hippo brings sacred protection.

It’s time to break free! There is a wildness in you that needs more space in your waking life. You are so much stronger than you think you are. You are strong enough to venture off alone, or you can run with others. A new beginning is coming, and once it begins you will need stamina and strength. Don’t trip on what it or you looks like. You’re here to be free.

Something new will be flying into your life soon — a message, an opportunity — do your best to remain open to changing news, ideas or emotions around you at this time. The Hummingbird is attracted to the colour red; notice the things around you that are red in the coming days and notice if there are any clues there for you, even if it only reminds you of the Hummingbird’s message: Life is sweet. Taste it. Bring more sweetness into your life, just like how the Hummingbird loves sugary, sweet drinks. By seeing the world this way you will welcome more spaciousness and love into your life. You are entering a time where you will be seeing more of this around you. If you are able to, bring in more red at this time, and more flowers and sweet fragrances to smell. If you’re able to surround ourself with flowers or spend time with flowers, this would be very nourishing for you to help you calibrate to this shift in energy.

Your powers are being stirred and awakened at this time, Big Cat. Wherever your psychic abilities come alive within you, your life is about to take another turn toward the mystical and enchanted. It’s important for you to keep your focus on the end goal, while being mindful of the big picture and what’s realistic for you. Manifestation is around the corner and happening in every moment; all that’s needed is for you to decide when the precise moment is to take the leap. If something isn’t working, set it down and lighten your load so you can jump with ease. Sit back, but stay alert, and when the opportunity presents itself, don’t hesitate to strike. Trust your instincts. At this time, stay hidden or camouflaged if necessary, but move with intention when you choose to, and don’t be afraid for them to see you in your power. The way you move is POWERFUL, and a sight for others to behold. It’s okay for them to gaze. After all, you’re a gazer too.

Though things may be dark, or may have been dark, you are the light in your own life. Your glow is infectious and warms others. When you find yourself sinking, remember where the light comes from. You hold aspects within that move beyond simply being flexible. You possess a fluidity that can match the spaces around you. Notice your spaces. Notice how you feel in your spaces. How can you become more spacious? Move with the currents around you, and stay hydrated.

Powerful leaps and bounds. What’s happening around you right now? Are you spending time with family more than usual, or feeling like you need them? At this time, seek out emotional support with biological or chosen family to help you charge ahead. You may dip into sensations of lack, and the help of others may be the best way to pull out of it. Your people want to help you! Whatever projects are coming your way, consider them with great care and proceed at a comfortable pace for yourself. If you get stuck, lean on your people and regain momentum together.

This is a time to re-evaluate your diet and the range of things you have been putting into your system. Your routine may need to shift at this time, or you may have recently entered a period of detoxification from something. You are approaching a time of cleansing, and may need to shift your intake temporarily to help your body facilitate a smoother transition. It would be helpful to schedule uninterrupted rest for an extended period of time, for as ever long as you’re able to accommodate based on your responsibilities in life. Solitude may be necessary. Notice if you’ve been clinging to anything for whatever reason at all.

Get ready for an auspicious time up ahead. Notice where things have been out of balance and make means to bring things into harmony. Restore your yang or restore your yin by considering the unique balance your lifestyle calls for. What does your body want to swim toward? You are entering a time of new love in your life. This love can express in any form and will having a healing appeal. This is a powerful symbol of good fortune on this current.

A ladybug is a powerful symbol of fortune, luck and abundance. If there is a decision before you, you can trust you’re making the right choice, or will make the right choice. Consider there are no wrong choices, only your choice. The ladybug is a sign of encouragement that the path you’re choosing is one of prosperity and love.

A sign of purity and innocence, there is something new or fresh around you now. Let yourself be led! Cooperate. Try. Be open. Whatever you think is vulnerable about you is also your strength. Are you able to see your supposed faults or flaws differently? Remember the sweetness of life and all the joy available around you. Reconnect to something in your childhood at this time for deep inner strength and nourishment.

Clearing of what is dead or decaying. Lemur may show up when something hasn’t been properly processed or digested. There may be lingering toxicity, trauma, pain points, or PTSD that is present somewhere in life at this time. Lemur can help move this energy, facilitating a change in stagnation. Lemurs are deeply connected to the formless spiritual part of your experience and may represent sweeping out the invisible things in life that may be plaguing you. How can you be an active participant in this process? At this time, pay more attention to your patterns in your sleep or night life. What’s happening in the PM of your life? After an unblocking, a huge flow of playfulness will flood your spirit and energy.

You’re moving into a series of intense cycles, Big Cat. It will be incredibly important that you learn to pace yourself otherwise you will burn out. Schedule in regular retreat, giving yourself entire days to unplug from the world. New information will come to the surface soon, helping you significantly when it comes to a longterm goal you’ve been pursuing. New visionary abilities are coming alive in you, and by honing and fine-tuning your energy input and output, you will move toward your goals with grace, precision and a touch of magic. At this time, you can trust your inexplainable feelings more than your logic. Suspend logic if it is in direct conflict with something you feel, and when you notice those periods of conflict, take them as a sign to retreat and unplug back into nature. A rebirth is around the corner as you’ve built significant awareness of your inner realm.

Move with pride in your heart, Big Cat. You are incredibly strong, courageous and powerful. Whatever is happening around you, you have it in you to conduct yourself in a noble way, no matter how uncomfortable or ease-filled the situation around you calls for. Whatever happens, keep your dignity. Remember to follow your heart, keep making brave choices, and move with conviction and intention. The Lion is powerful, precise and intentional. Lion can move quick, and yet all their power is felt through their presence and stillness. At this time, access the wells of emotional strength within you, as there is a strong frequency around you at this time, ready to supercharge your Ego and Heart energy in some way. You may also be having a hair moment with your mane, or are ready to get noticed.

For the next while, embrace being quiet and still. Try to watch how your environment affects you. Notice what happens in your environment and how you take it into your being. Experiment with keeping a dream journal at this time and notice if you experience any recurring dreams. There may be extra symbolism for you. A subtle transformation is coming for you. You may be feeling more sensitive at this time as your awareness heightens.

Bring more awareness to everything you’re touching. Whether that’s with your hands and feet, or your words and actions. You have more active antennas interacting with the world than you may realize all the time. The Lobster molts and sheds its shell, and at times consumes it, transmuting everything that held in its past into something new. When lobster shows up, this is a major sign of transmutation happening in your life after picking up so many new little things in more ways than you may know. Remember to release, shed and let go of the things that are no longer serving you, or for whatever reason might be necessary to let go of for your survival.

When the Loon shows up it’s a sign of a healthy emotional state. Whatever path you are on, continue to follow it (or continue to carve it). The Loon’s appearance brings luck and auspiciousness as a sign that what you have been doing is working for you and it’s helping to create a more balanced nervous system. Good times are to come. The Waters (emotions) are healthy when the Loon shows up.

Whatever information comes to you in the coming days, or if a secret was recently shared with you, it’s important to treat these whispers as a sacred private omen. You are being tasked with a challenge that is acting as a larger test in your life. Spend some time alone or in the dark, or get out in nature to come back to a neutral state. Sometimes we can be buzzing with news and gossip and information and media that our systems short circuit. We behave in a way that is out of character. Stay aware of anyone spilling your secrets, telling your business, or if you notice characters in your life who spill other people’s tea. Read between the lines, notice what isn’t being said, and trust your senses when it comes to reading others. Your psychic abilities are at an all time high, and your various senses help you get a read on the situation before you. And whatever you do, don’t tell someone else’s story; don’t add or spread to what is circulating. Observe. What more do you notice when you don’t participate, Big Cat?

See Parrot.

There is supreme intelligence around you now. Pay attention and act without hesitation when the opportunity presents itself. Notice signs and symbols around you at this time and move into ego-less service to the tribe and community. Be clear and straightforward, and remember to listen to what is being shared around you. Accessing your deeper gifts is available at this time should you reach out and need them. Bring more balance to the masculine and feminine polarities within and around you.

You’re in a nurturing time, and would do well to nurture yourself with intention. Consider whether you are being nurturing toward others, and who is nurturing toward you (if any). Are you giving your energy where it’s needed? Reconsider your diet and lifestyle at this time, and consider ways you could slow down certain areas of your life to reduce your anxiety or stress. You are not as healthy as you could be right now, and something needs to shift. Where?

Stay alert. Adapt. Find patience in challenging times and lean on your community and social bonds. Resourcefulness and ingenuity are your friends right now. It’s important to communicate in a clear crisp way. Prepare your community.

The Mermaid breaks free from the rules, order, and structure that Humanity demands. At sea, the Mermaid is free to do what they wish while creating their own reality in another world. This can be a sign of mystical rebellion, powerful emotions, and being lured into new territory. Dig deep inside yourself at this time. Mermaids have a deep connection with the arts, particularly music-making and singing, and you are encouraged to dip your toes into the arts, or lose yourself in their mystique. Playing with these inspiration sources may bring your powers up to the surface, revealing the clarity you seek. Others may be enchanted with your voice or beauty at this time, but don’t fall prey to anyone’s trickery. Mermaids are a sign that there is a lack of clarity about something at the moment. Things can be murky, especially when in the realm of love and lust. Pay attention to what Mermaid is doing when they show up as they can be a sign of trickery around you, leading you toward a depth that doesn’t serve you, or they can show you the way to some of your greatest wishes and desires. Recognizing the difference is not easy. When Mermaid shows up, something is unclear as deep emotions are involved. Do your best to remember to sleep on your decisions at this time, and process your emotions through a supportive mystical artform.

Shadow work/er. The Mongoose is FAST. Not only does it have speed, it can kill snakes — literal and metaphoric toxins. It can outsmart danger and demons with lightning speed and reflexes. Fearless in attacking snakes, pests, and predators, the Mongoose teaches how to exhaust and decapitate your fears. It’s important to remember you are quicker than your demons and you can strike first in the situations around you. (Know you can be reckless at times using such speed.) Dive into wounds to repair them and drag out anything that doesn’t belong there! This can be a sign of entering a time of agility. The Mongoose brings balance to things, notice what’s around it when it shows up or what it’s around as this may be an area that needs to be balanced. Outsmart the lions out there and find the way to humble your ego.

See Primates.

How might you rise up at this time? How might you be able to hold your head high and show face in the coming days? You have what it takes for this next adventure. You have the stamina, the emotional depth, and the experience. Do your best to prepare yourself for this next leg of life, and be sure to bring pride with you so you may encourage those around you to hold their heads high, too.

Mosquito is the omen of the small but persistent drain. It’s possible you may not see what was taken from you in the moment, but the mark remains. It is evidence that something happened before you became aware of it. Notice what has been feeding on your time, energy, attention, or life force. Minor annoyances and repeated intrusions may be revealing where your boundaries have become too permeable. Address the pestering thing before the irritation spreads, eats you alive, or makes your skin crawl until hurt yourself from all the scratching. And if you see Mosquito in the moment, notice what it’s doing, where it lands, and what’s waiting to drain you if you drop awareness.

Be honest with your emotions, and come clean. Something that has been hidden or veiled in your life is about to be revealed or exposed. It’s important to know when to stay hidden and appreciate that sometimes disguises are necessary. It’s also important to know who to reveal your true self to, and HOW you might reveal yourself to the ones that need to see you. You’re encouraged to trust your intuition and build your awareness on what is blooming within you. Pay close attention to your instincts at this time, as important news is on the way. The Moth brings messages from the beyond; they can be a symbol of deep transformation and change — of something dying out and leaving you. Many cultures believe that a Moth’s visit is an ancestor or guide traveling to you to deliver a message from the beyond. The Moth can access secrets, hidden or veiled information, and even other dimensions. Play with your basic senses to stimulate and encourage them to come alive in you. The Moth is connected to powerful pheromones (scents) and blind faith in the light — though it is a creature of the night. At this time, play with your awareness of scents and light.

Ancient knowledge, divination, intuition, dreams and dreamworld, nighttime, transformation, change

Are you missing something? Try not to overlook details at this time. Do your best to look a little closer at something in your life. There are changes coming — already on the horizon — but you may need to lean into the changes and do some conscious clearing (in your mind, or your physical space). Before you begin, channel the bird; broaden your perspective. Zoom out. What do you see? Are you too head down in certain areas of your life? If you feel a sense or need to “prepare,” approach that energy with intention. Remember to be honest with what you are feeling.

As a water creature, the Octopus may present during times of new or changing emotions. Perhaps you are reaching new states of emotional awareness. Consider how your emotions may affect the state of your health, and whether you are ready to move into new physical rituals to help your body process those emotions — helping them leave your form. Evaluate if it is time for a health check-in, whether that is personally or with trusted professionals, whatever that may mean to you. With its many arms, the Octopus can reach into all kinds of worlds; consider which worlds are worth reaching into for you. As the Octopus lives in a sort of underworld, consider how you may be able to connect with ones who have passed or ventured to another side of sorts. This can be with people who are fully formed, or who a perhaps formless at this time. You are entering a time where new psychic abilities may reveal themselves should you respect and bow to these powers within you.

See Fox.

Your body is requesting a certain kind of nutrient in life right now; notice what comes up for you, and what you would consider to be a nutrient. You may be in a physically delicate time for whatever reason, or recently coming out of one. Intimately consider whatever new opportunities present themselves to you in the coming time, or once you’ve surveyed all the options before you. You may be undernourished in your relationships at this time. Identifying which relationships are less than satisfying or rewarding may be illuminating.

You are about to experience a rise and resurgence of energy in some way. When the Otter shows up, call in more time for play, adventure, creative pursuits and a sense of freedom. Whatever you have been pressing against lately, make a plan to practically execute tasks one by one. One thing at a time. You don’t need to do everything all at once, but finding the courage and bravery to do one small thing can set a series of things in motion for you. What might one small thing be for you at this time? Consider the areas in your life or living space that need clearing and organizing at this time, and don’t be afraid to let go of items that you have outgrown in some way. Home life should be a top priority for you at this time, whatever that may mean to you. Bring more play into the home.

Pull back somewhere in your life. It is safe for you to retreat. Meditate. Seek silence, solitude and darkness. In these spaces, something you need will be revealed to you. What do you see? What are you able to pick up on where others may miss? Watching and listening will help you find the answers you seek. Are you experiencing hunches before they happen? Do your best to notice this in the coming time. Explore your creativity at night, or shift to using your energy in the evenings, as this quietness and darkness supports your creativity and clarity. In Expeditions, you can always transform into the owl to reach new places.

See Bull.

Not everything is black and white, and yet you may be caught somewhere in black and white thinking. Whatever is going on with you, consider there is a new option or something still unseen, requiring new type of thought. This is a time to be heart-led and trust the authority within with greater intention. Reevaluate the projects or commitments you’ve devoted your energy to, and reorder or renegotiate them into a simpler/less complex arrangement for yourself. Can you approach things slowly or even one at a time? You may be taking in too many opinions from others or feedback that is interfering with your better judgment. It would be a good idea to spend some time in solitude to clear your spirits.

The ways you communicate is changing, and those around you may be affected or changed by this new communication style. There are areas in life that need brightening up; review where these are for you and how you can bring in more COLOUR, more LIGHT and more healing.

The peacock is a sign of high respect. It can not NOT be acknowledged. You can not NOT be noticed. When you accept your own internal regality there is something otherworldly about you. Maintain your integrity. Even what you shed and let go of affects others in profound ways you will never know. You are allowed to change. You are effortlessly beautiful and do not need to try so hard. It’s who you are. Surrender. This is a time of a powerful spiritual awakening. This is a noble frequency. You’re the vision.

A breakthrough is up ahead. Move between worlds. Inspiration is trying to find you through elevation — not force. You are being called into your divine service. If you rise above your current problem or block, what becomes visible to you? This winged horse encourages you to gain perspective somewhere in life by dreaming bigger and seeing connections you may have missed in the past. At this time, make more space for rest, the arts, and creative expression. Notice where you’ve become earthbound, egotistical or trapped. Your freedom does not come from working harder, but rising toward what is truly sacred to you.

Long-Legged Bird. See Heron.

This is a time to explore altered states of consciousness in whatever way feels good for you. You may be drawn to more Expeditions, or something else. You are in a cycle, and this cycle is helping you to come into greater personal alignment. Through this process there may be experiences of challenge, or you may feel like you’ve been suffering. Exploring other states will help reveal where the kinks are in your waking state so you can ultimately come into fullness and power. Things are not always so black and white.

Keep a low profile. Stay grounded and move about your channels with quiet grace, surrounded by your people. There is romance or flirtation around you at this time, and your friends/people seem to bring this energy to you. This is a time of great spiritual connection where you may meet new or important players that are significant to your story. Are you ready to flirt with life? Notice if anyone new has showed up lately, or whether it’s time to meet people. Where are your connections? Go through others instead of directly to sources at this time. Consider how you can play with colourful plumage, and adorn yourself so that when you are seen — you are ready to be seen. A sign of a soft, indirect approach that impresses with how put together it is. Quiet luxury.

A transformation, change or rebirth is around you at this time. This bird continuously rises from the ashes; sheer resilience and force. FIRE! You have regenerative powers available to you at this time, and finding your connection and rhythm in your day-to-day will be rewarding, helping you feel a sense of renewal. This is a sign of strength, power and expansion when times are tough. The wells of inner strength you have within you will always take care of you. Your old self can die every night and rise again as someone new each day. You may be on a challenging spiritual pursuit, but with the Phoenix’s presence, your willingness can burn through anything. You are entering a time of self-healing, hope and renewed pride. Change is here. You are on FIRE! Keep going.

Be smart. Notice who’s being reasonable and who’s not. Are you being reasonable? Are you being thoughtful? The Pig brings luck and abundance and a swelling of pleasure. This is a sign of intelligent decisions to come, or an increase in intelligence around you. How might you accept the messes or pigsty around you, whether it belongs to you or to others? How might you move past what you think are screw ups and channel those experiences into wisdoms? This is a sign of smarts and bravery.

The Pig is often misunderstood, and yet it is an incredibly intelligent animal. Consider how your own smarts and wit may be overlooked by others at times, or if you too feel misunderstood. Many adore and revere the Pig, and this may be a sign to find your kind of people, and let yourself move away from the ones who do not appreciate your rich dynamics. You bring sustenance, and that is invaluable to many.

This bird is connected to the Home, and the sense of Home within. Is home calling? Do you feel at home in yourself? Take some time to explore the concept of Home, and what that feels and looks like for you. It’s okay if your sense of home is changing. You may need to develop or seek new experiences to fulfill this call. There is a message coming to you soon, or has just come.

Inner Vision. Notice everything. There may be interesting encounters around you at this time. Notice sensations, tingles, feelings, visions, ideas, etc. What is popping up? Whatever strangeness or oddities are around you lately or soon, trust you’ll make sense of them in your special way. Notice the demands or requests that other people’s energy makes at this time, and consider how this feels for your body to take in. How does it feel to take in their energy and witness their experience? What do you see in the other; through the other? Whatever is going on around you, it’s important to trust the process. Be a willing participant but you don’t have to over do it. When was the last time you received energy healing?

See Horse.

Move at your own pace. If others are trying to hurry you, you may feel prickly. Trust that you are safe and your timing is the only timing to be concerned with. You can relax and adopt a more relaxed pace. You have immense magic within you, and, you are divinely protected simply be being yourself. Whatever you are viewing as a negative, reframe and reposition so you can see there is more to the story. Does negativity have to exist?

At this time, how can you bring your spirituality or spiritual practices deeper into your body? What might that mean for you personally? To be equipped with a body is a deeply spiritual and sensual thing. Without your body, the experience ends. Whether you pray, journey, meditate, or practice the art of contemplation, dial up these practices at this time to help quiet some of the noise distracting you lately. Practice stillness in the body so you may more readily recognize what you're ready to retreat from in your life, work, relationships or something else. Hone in on what is going well for you so you may streamline your sense of direction. Recognize what is overly stimulating in your environment. This creature's omen will help you recenter.

(monkey, chimpanzee, orangutang, ape, gorilla, etc)

There are many messages that come through these high evolved animals, and their connection to humanity is significant. First, forgive that person. The hurt or grief does not need to hold any more space in your being, and it is safe for you to release that ache within. Do your best to be more intentional with your health moving forward. Bring your awareness to your daily habits and how you care for yourself; do your best to be a little kinder and softer to your being, elevating your health up your priority list. The relationship you have with your body is sacred. Acknowledge your strengths and limitations. Respect yourself and others, but be open to new perspectives and ways of doing things. And finally… Communicate clearly. Bring more awareness to how you express and listen and communicate with the network around you.

This is not a time for disputes or fighting, so consider this if you find yourself surrounded by such energy. You’re invited to welcome in more playfulness and silliness into your life. Consider how this can be an incredibly divine and holy act for the personal self. Pray more at this time, and give thanks and gratitude to the many blessings you have in your life. Something is shifting with your communication and you may find yourself quieter or holding back. You are emotionally evolving and shifting into a better transpersonal understanding of the other. You see or are paying greater attention to the many ways we communicate, beyond just what we say.

See Cougar.

Caution. Have you been putting harmful things in your body lately? Consider what junk you are putting into your system, whether that’s physical or non-physical garbage. You are ready to move through some type of cleanse or clearing ritual to help your spirit move into a new chapter. There needs to be some kind of energetic clean up around you to help the process along. How can you work with your food and rituals at this coming time, using them as some of the deepest nourishment and awareness vehicles available to you? Surround yourself with people right now, and muse on the way their presence fills you and creates a sense of healing security.

Stay flexible and move quickly! You may need to make a quick decision in the coming future. Rabbits can also represent entering a time of fertility, either creatively or physically. Practice safe sex and observe your sexual patterns. This is a time of heightened creativity. Don’t worry about consistency; take a leap here and there!

What situations have you found yourself in lately — have you wound up in places that aren’t for you all because you were out busily exploring? That’s okay! But recognize where you are. Raccoon is an adaptable survivor. It’s time to let go. When Raccoon shows up, there may be mischief around or within. If you’ve been scuttling around, it’s time to take off the mask. Stop hiding. What have you been hiding from yourself or others? It’s okay to be the innocent, curious and mischievous little night creature you can be sometimes. Like the Fox, Raccoon is very cunning, smart and resourceful. Working behind the scenes, in the dark, or at nightfall might be something that suits the cleverness in you at this time. Don’t focus so much on what you see, but what you feel and hear, or touch. Use your hands right now; take care of those paws. More than any creature, so much of the Raccoon’s experience comes through their hands. How can you play with this?

PS: Raccoons are COLOUR blind! Notice what this could mean for you at this time.

Get started. If you’ve been thinking about something, weighing something or considering something - you’re ready to go for it. Consider the areas in your life that are out of balance, whether that is a lot or ever so slightly, and make the adjustments needed. This will help you in this new chapter. Charge ahead.

Even though some things may be scaring or intimidating you right now, you have plenty of resources available to you; more than you may readily recognize. The Rat brings caution, asking you to take stock of something, pause, and assess. Something you've been dreaming about, working on, or creating is about to have its moment. You can help it along somehow by either taking stock of your resources, removing that which has gone stale or expired, or deleting something you have simply outgrown. If you've been feeling nervous or insecure somewhere, evaluate where the pressure is coming from and reflect if you actually NEED all the things you think you need. What or who is contributing to this pressure? This can be a sign to purge something. Just remember how adaptable you are.

Raven is a sign of higher intelligence. This may be access to deep intelligence within, cognitive potential, or something more ethereal on the spiritual plane (frequencies). You’re surrounded by a higher intelligence at this time. When the Raven shows up, its often confused for the crow. This can be a sign of sometimes being misunderstood. But the Raven is larger; furrier. It is a sign of transformation to come. In an indigenous teaching, the Raven receives a reputation of being the trickster because he needed to steal the light so the world could see in a land of darkness. Once everything was illuminated and others could see, the Raven was still remembered as the thief who stole the light… even though he shared it with everyone. The Raven may prefer intimate one to one relationships, and a quieter, respectful lifestyle, but it is full of magic and intelligence — which is often misunderstood by others. When it shows up, it is a sign you are or will be receiving a loud message and will need to consider what is being revealed to you. The Raven is connected to the underworld, for it flew among the darkness before stealing the light. Seeing a Raven can be a sign of a death; of an old energy dying out and being extinguished from you — no longer in your life.

It’s time to do things on your own. You’ve reached an important personal level of awareness in your journey in collecting Life Experience, and this next phase requires going it alone. Intentionally. How can you respect your solitary process? Carefully evaluate the choices before you, and be sure to calmly, slowly, process and analyze your options before rushing to make a decision. Try taking one intentional step at a time and stay present through the process.

Land bird. Adapting. Where are you needing to use speed right now? Is there somewhere you need to be more practical or think on your feet? This is an action-oriented time for you and you would benefit from getting organized and getting your ducks in a row. There is a required mental stimulation or physical exertion at this time. Run your own course, do your own thing, but remember to still work with others creatively somehow. This will benefit you. There may not be a lot of emotional energy around you right now. That is neither good or bad.

Sing your own tune. Wishes coming true. What are the tried and true things that are so YOU? How can you transform yourself by using these wonderful parts of you in new and meaningful ways? What do you wish for, and how can you get clearer on that or let more of that heart’s desire in? Surround yourself with uplifting and joyous things, or the things that light your spirit and feel good for you. This is very personal. Something very personal needs to come out of you.

See Mouse.

Rise and shine! It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day. It’s time to strut your stuff in all your uniqueness and let yourself become someone new every time you rise if you need to. Be authentic. No more hiding. Awaken a deep confidence within. Your voice matters. Using your voice like the Rooster chases away evil spirits that pester your territory. This is a time to be punctual and devoted. Make note on what’s happening in your life at this time or in the coming time. The Rooster’s appearance is a sign of confident protection you can count on. If you’ve been timid, hiding, not using your voice, not being honest, or not expressing yourself in life (or in this time about a specific thing), trust it is your time to confidently speak up. Get in touch with your passion. Get hearty. Get fiery. This is an empowered omen. Let Rooster fertilize all your new eggs.

Are you missing the little things? It’s important to pay attention to your surroundings at this time as they may reveal more than you are realizing in the moment. You’re about to or have just embarked on an important spiritual journey. Change is on its way. You may have a strong ability to get a feel for others and will be drawn to other feelers. And even though swimming upstream may be challenging at times, it always reveals new perspectives and emotional insights. Returning to your origin place or where family energy is can be very restorative at this time or in the coming future. There is much value in returning home for a period of time, whatever home feels like for you. This could be a place, a mindset, a way of life, a person, etc. Only you will know.

The sandpiper takes tiny bites of things, walking on long little legs in shallow waters. Notice what this might mean for you and your work in the world at this time, whatever you're working on or through in your personal life. When times are emotional, how might you stay grounded, active, and present? How and where might you take little bites in shallow waters? When emotions are around you, keep steady by remaining physical to help you process the emotions held in the experience. You might pick through some garbage sometimes, but you'll find yourself in healing sites that need that here and there. This is a time to stand up, stay strong with what is going on around you, and process things very physically. Consider playing with your diet and how much you take in.

It would be healthy for you to talk to someone safe about the areas/thing that is eating away at you. You also may be entering into a sexually heightened or explorative time. Notice if you are aroused in new ways, or more frequently. Bring any change in your sexuality into your awareness for closer inspection. You are entering into a period of transmutation, ready to release old toxic patterns. It would be wise to intentionally detox your physical or emotional body. And do your best to notice secrets around you… the ones you’re keeping inside, or not admitting to yourself. There is an energy inside you that risks running septic. You do not need to keep and hold things inside; honouring your temper and passion can be done with healthy outlets. Don’t explode on others, but know that your venom may already be leaking out.

When Seagull shows up, there is something you need to clean up in your life, usually in your physical reality, like home or work environment. You’re encouraged to reduce, reuse, recycle more. You are also encouraged to get yourself to a body of water or listen to water sounds to freshen your spirits. Know communication through nature around you is available to you at this time or in this place you discovered. You can communicate through botanicals and animals and water creatures to help you understand the other with greater awareness. What might these spirits teach you? May they share teachings with you for there may be fresh or old misunderstandings or miscommunication you’ve had with someone who is a significant character in your life. There may be a communication breakdown somewhere and you are called to be more mindful of non-verbal cues from others as not everyone expresses with voice. Trust your senses. And remember to fly.

The male Sea Horse gets pregnant and gives birth after the female deposits her eggs into the male’s pouch. Review the gender roles in your life, and consider how you may shift into and out of them. Nothing BELONGS to one gender extreme. If we viewed life as a spectrum, where might you land within the spectrum of female and male aspects? Must they be counterparts? There is a quest calling or coming for you, and merging and embodying all aspects of your identity are important at this time. If there is someone who needs care or support, consider how you can best be there for them. You are encouraged to go to them for your own learning.

This is a very creative time for you. Your imagination has the potential to soar to new sights. The dreamworld is ripe with information, and you may notice yourself daydreaming about all kinds of wondrous things. This is the dreamworld coming to you in your waking spirits, and a wonderful time to explore inner expeditions. You are exiting a time of challenge, completing a significant cycle in your life, and are moving into a time of integration, creativity and abundance. Notice the rhythms of your life at this time, and do not force yourself outside of this rhythm. Honour your body’s natural urges.

This is a time of heightened sensitivity for you. Be mindful of the people, food, or environments you engage with at this time, and trust what your senses are informing you with. It is your responsibility to listen to your body. Try to notice how your mood or energy shifts depending on place, what you eat, or who you are engaged with. This requires a heightened acuity: you have that. Use it now. It is important to move through your emotions at this time and not hang on to, or get stuck in one place/feeling. You are moving into a space where your ability to “see through the muck” is becoming clearer. You’re moving into a deeper place of perception of the world and those around you.

Is there something you need to let go of? Is there something you have outgrown? Allowing yourself to go through a shedding process can be very liberating, but you may need help from another. Talk to a safe person. Be brave enough to share what you are feeling with others, and set down the outdated narrative you’ve been carrying. Notice where you land on things after your discussions with others, and notice where you tend to butt heads with others. It can also be freeing at this time to make a change in your look/home.

The skunk respects and protects themselves, but also knows to prioritize play and rest so life can smell sweet like flowers. You do not need to take things so seriously. How can you spot the moments you’ve become too serious in? When things get too serious, you may start to take in other people’s energy unnecessarily, and in a distorted manner. You have permission to stand up for yourself, and put distance between you and the ones who are making your experience unpleasant. Prioritize self-care where possible. When the skunk shows up, pay attention to scents around you as they bring information with them. Prioritize the fragrances, scents and oils in your life at this time.

Slow it all waaaaay down; your eating, your moving, your thinking, your resting, your working — all of it. You are missing things. You will get to where you are going, but by moving about frantically or even chaotically, you prolong and delay your experiential potential. At this time, prioritizing your health, developing immunity, and building physical strength are what are needed for the next part of your adventure.

Go slow. There’s no rush. You’re going to leave a trail in your wake anyway and it’s going to be beautiful no matter what it is. Where can you slow down? Are you in a time of perseverance? Are you in a time of reevaluating your pace in life? Reevaluate the balance between your masculine and feminine energies. Consider if there is somewhere you are doing too much and need to pull back. Consider if there is somewhere you’re feeling sluggish or falling behind.

The snail moves very slow. It is a hermaphrodite. Slow down. There is a need for a balance or redistribution of masculine and feminine energy somewhere.

Practice readiness. Strike when the time is right. An awakening is coming. Watch closely, be patient; read the room. Strike at the perfect moment! Practice safe sex and observe your sexual patterns as signs of the snake can release a sexual energy within that is very healing. If you’re feeling suffocated somewhere in your life; shed your skin. When the snake does not shed their skin it can be devastating to their life force. You’re going through a deep transformation within, and are outgrowing something that has been with you for some time. It’s okay. Let it go. It would be an appropriate time to detox your physical or emotional body. This can be through food, cathartic crying, talking with someone, or something else you decide upon. A new self is emerging. The process is already underway.

Trust yourself, Big Cat. Seek higher ground and create space for silence before making important decisions. Distance often brings the clarity you cannot find in the middle of the noise. Snow Leopard reminds you that perspective is its own form of wisdom. You do not need to rush, explain yourself, or keep pace with everyone else. There is power in moving quietly, observing carefully, and allowing your next step to reveal itself naturally. Protect your peace. Withdraw when you need to, not to escape life, but to see it more clearly. By honouring your own inner knowing, you'll navigate this season with grace, resilience, and confidence.

This is a time of great healing, bounteousness, and productivity. Recognize the supreme being within yourself at this time, and see the incredulousness in even the most basic and mundane tasks. How might you carry yourself with more healthy pride in the coming days? How might you call in greater self-respect and dignity; vast wells that are already alive within you. You are experiencing some kind of opening and healing within your very core, allowing you to spread and share healing more freely to the ones around you. Sing more, whistle more, or notice these things as they are happening in your waking life, as they are all bird calls that open your heart into healing old grief that may be lingering there — ready to fly away.

You’re entering a time of heightened sensation. Spiders are attracted to magical individuals. Access your own deep wisdom! Pay attention to the clues your body gives you from day to day. Don’t miss the magic in life — even the tiny things. You will be taken in a new direction. Be patient, but explore other realities and mystical concepts. Never kill a spider. Instead, ask it to leave or place it somewhere new.

It is time to store your energy. The changes ahead are requiring you to prepare for the future in new ways. You will need to be crafty and cunning in the near future. Assess the practical areas in your life, review finances, contracts, deals, and get things in order. Organize and communicate clearly with whomever needs to be informed.

Psychic Crown. Plugged in. Intuition. Needing to shed old ways. This is a time of spiritual surrender, bringing greater balance somewhere in life. There is divine masculine energy around you at this time, protecting you, rising up, and bringing movement and direction. There is a lot of power around you right now, and your own masculine expression may be strong, while maintaining a divine connection and balance to the feminine through the crowned spirit.

You have senses beyond your eyes and what you can see. Notice if your other senses are trying to direct you or get your attention at this time. Are there new opportunities around you? Can you sense them? Try not to hurry; take note from the Starfish that moving slowly and with intention will bring you the opportunities you are being guided toward. Notice if these opportunities present themselves or are trying to show themselves in your career, but also in the relationships around you. Does someone else need your energy or support? Are YOU the one who needs it?

You probably only really SEE the Starling when it is flying through the sky in unison with other birds — moving together in one large slick motion. An ever-changing unit. Do you even notice the Starling when it is on its own as one little bird? What can this teach you? These birds fly together in beautiful symmetry and fluidity. Working together they are a mesmerizing spiral of life. They are FREE and constantly transforming into different beautiful shapes in the air. To witness their sky dance is a moment of receiving deep healing insight. Pay attention. What insights are flowing around you right now? The Starlings are deeply IN TUNE with their surroundings. A sign of environment harmony.

When Sting Ray shows up, it is a powerful omen for your emotional field. Recognize when it’s time to blend in to your environment and when you feel ready to move on. The Sting Ray floats calmly through its environments, considerate of how it uses its energy. It is not here to waste and expend energy irresponsibly, but calibrate to the space around it in order to be receptive to what’s happening in those spaces. Consider what’s happening for you emotionally at this time, and know there are many paths you can take forward. There is no right or wrong path, only the one you select. Sting Ray’s presence can support you in redirecting your energy to healthier spaces. It is very adaptable, knowing this is essential for survival. When Sting Ray shows up, prepare to be entering new spiritual fields of calmness and peace through your heightened emotional awareness.

The Stork is the deliverer of new beginnings, and birthing something new. How might you tend to your home, family, roots, and nest? Connect to your creation energy at this time. Call upon your ancestors and ancestral practices, summoning up deep creative power and new energy. Play with Kundalini energy, root meditation, dance, chanting, and any practice that awakens spirit within you.

Angelic presence. You are loved. This is a powerful omen of dreams coming true. The Swan brings understanding in the situation. When you gaze into the future, what do you see through the Swan’s eyes? The Swan moves with dignified grace, elegance, and beauty. They adore their mate and are filled with deep love and adoration. Group of Swans signals love and loyalty around you.

There is heightened energy somewhere in your environment and you are highly sensitive to the frequency, energy and vibrations being emitted from this experience, place or space. This may be a time to come forward somewhere and reveal something you have kept hidden. Strong senses right now.

Stay patient, Big Cat. Your goals are in motion, and the steps you’re taking to get there are already happening. How might you sit back and let it all flow and unfold now, going forward? Keep your senses sharp and stay focused at this time. Move into watch mode. You are about to observe some things that will help you shift something in your subtle bodies, delivering you to knew stages of personal health and wellness. Support yourself by creating your perfect den where you can relax and retreat, creating a respected space that is off-limits to others (even if only temporarily). Privacy is important for you at this time. On the other side of this rest, great power and dramatic change is waiting. You’ll need time to get adjusted, but you’ve already earned your stripes.

Your voice is extremely valuable in the situation before you. How can you communicate in a new way? What additional communicative abilities are available to you at this time? Though there may be loud noises and squawking around you, don’t miss the bigger message. You or someone else may be craving attention. It could be a time to get out and meet new people.

Bountiful, healthy, wild, the Turkey is a sign to use your cultivated gifts in service to the ones around you. Pay more attention to the people around you at this time as this ultimately helps you with something very personal. These "people around you" can be friends and family, communities, important projects, an entity/company/spirit; something transpersonal. There are bountiful gifts around you and within you; how might you creatively serve yourself to others with your gifts? Whenever the Turkey shows up for you, bring in community ritual in some way that nourishes you; consider how you might play with "community/others" and "ritual". Remember to play with what is nourishing,

Slow down. Take your time. Enjoy right now! Do your best to stay focused and determined to let your natural wisdom emerge. If you rush, you’ll miss it. You can be less dependent on other people. Spending time alone can be a great release to rebalance your energy. You have a tough exterior, but you don’t need to handle/take on so much. You’re allowed softness and peace, too.

Magic is around you. At this time, your top priority needs to be the pursuit of whatever it is you’ve buried or been running from. If there is a creative artform or mystical expression you’ve been suppressing, you’re strongly encouraged to let it out. At this time, your heart can soften and your duties can relax. It is a time of necessary play and restoration. During your time on Earth, it’s your personal responsibility to live your best life, and experience life as your best self. There may be gifted people around you at this time, such as mentors, children or artists, opening you up to another world of beauty, peace, art and love. Your personal power is growing, and so is your sense of accountability. This is a great time for artistic pursuits, letting yourself believe in something new or otherworldly, having faith, and continuously moving toward success through gentle means. Nurture your sense of wonder.

Mistaken identity, premature conclusions, things not what they seem. The Viceroy, a yellow butterfly that looks like a Monarch, arrives when resemblance is mistaken for true identity. The butterfly is transformational, and the Viceroy reminds us that recognition often begins through familiarity, but a transformational truth is always revealed as we sustain the encounter and grow increasingly uncomfortable in our situation. Though this butterfly appears to imitate the orange Monarch Butterfly, it comes with its own authentic expression. It has its own strength, purpose, and medicine. It may mimic another butterfly, but it has its own substance, too; it is distasteful to predators. This omen invites careful observation before assigning an identity to something, and that things around you may not always be what they seem.

(see Condor)

You can expect some kind of diet overhaul or change in the coming future. Be on the look out for anything you get sick of soon. Pay attention to how certain foods or things you consume make you feel at this time. There has been hardship in your past, and even in your recent past; though you may not see the wisdom from these experiences yet, trust that incredible gifts are coming to you through them. Whatever needs to be recycled, composted, repurposed or cleaned up around you should be acted on at this time. Be creative with your problem solving, ideas, experiments, or approach to things in the coming season. Look more closely as the places deemed distasteful in someway, and consider what others aren’t willing to do because of that.

Mediumship abilities may be present here. You likely have an unusual appearance in some way that contrasts with your super abilities, metaphysical gifts, or environment.

Like the vulture, something about you may be misunderstood or feared.

Are you or someone you care for carrying a deep money wound? If there are feelings of a lack of abundance or poor fortune (woe is me), consider surrounding yourself with the confident abundant people in your life. Spending time in their energy and swirling in their spirit would be good for you. Don’t miss the signs and omens around you right now, giving you directional clues. By being more affectionate and giving you’ll in turn welcome that energy into yourself.

Are there patterns popping out in your life right now? Notice Everything. At this time, welcome in a more adventurous spirit into your life. It will support you in staying centred through the energetic debris of the climate around you. If you find yourself tangled up in something, consider your responsibility in the situation and what you are in control of.

See Fox.

Space is being made. Be mindful not to push your emotions down. You can express them in a variety of ways, whether that is speaking, singing, dancing or something else. Be mindful of externally processing your emotions and getting them OUT of your body so you can become clear again. You are entering a creative time, and need the space made within for this energy to flow through you. You are deeply expanding in a spiritual capacity, but you will need to strategically conserve and protect your energy intentionally.

There is juxtaposition with this animal. Wolves are pack animals and are very concerned with their community and the health and wellbeing of the pack. But they can also represent being a lone wolf by choice or not, or perhaps needing to break off and be a lone wolf. Only you will know which end of the spectrum your wolf represents. Don’t compete. You’re here to cooperate and collaborate. Catch yourself if you’re tangled in competition. The bark may not be as physically damaging as the bite, but it can be psychologically and emotionally damaging just as well. Go your own way. Find your pack. Don’t fight. Howl.

If you dig around you’ll find you have all the resources you need. You might need to move some things around but you’ve got it. Stick with what is natural, natural to you, or can be found in a natural way/natural place. Keep focused on whatever is going on with you but support yourself where needed and don’t worry too much about the end road or goal. Enjoy the path along the way

Has something been eating away at you? When the Woodpecker shows up, there could be something that needs to be pecked out of your aura or life. Notice if you’ve been feeling low, parasitic, or even lonely. If something is looming around you, trust that you are well-protected. Retreat into the lap of the Earth, and spend as much time in nature as you can. Your rhythms are changing! Tuning in to the natural cadence of the Earth will be soothing at this time. You will need to call upon grace as you adjust to a new cycle. The Woodpecker consistently taps and pecks wood. Consider your relationship with your body, and any rhythmic or drumming activities you may participate in for regulation purposes.

When Worm shows up you are being called to dig deeper. Go deeper. Keep going. Worms increase the health of the soil around them, though they may sometimes be invisible. Consider how this may permeate in your life, and what around you may appear hidden but crucial to the health of what is around. Whatever you’re exploring, keep going, go deeper. This is a sign that you’re reaching the rich stuff. Worms are blind, but sense so much through their skin. Consider what this might mean for you and your senses.

A sign from the future. Your dreams can come true! Don’t give up. There is newness around you. When the Wren shows up, it is a sign of adaptability and change. You may have encountered a surprise recently that led to an unexpected outcome, or you could soon encounter this type of energy. This is a time of action, modifications, accuracy — and kindness! The Wren brings willpower and safety, encouraging you to use your skills in whatever way is available to you. This bird is a messenger of hope, rulership, determination, and keeping a light heart. Move forward. Fly into unknown territory. Mix with other people. Do what you need to do, but know that you need to put in the work in order to get the result.

Black and white about something. You or someone around you is stuck in an outdated view or perception somewhere and need to take into account what has changed or grown. Break free! Forget yes or no, right or wrong, up or down. There may be illusions, secrets or lies around, or someone out of touch with reality. If there is conflict or dis-ease somewhere around you right now, maintain your autonomy but explore new ways of connecting through compassionate means. There is “therapist” energy around.
