East
Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
Raven
Raven has long been known as the magical bird - the one who carries our messages and our prayers to spirit. Raven has been called a shape-shifter, and his message to you today is one of change - expect the unexpected, but know that Raven is flying close and will help you transform life's challenges into life's greatest blessings.
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
Cougar
Cougar has long been associated with leadership. Cougars are powerful, agile, and unhesitating. When Cougar attacks, he throws one hundred percent of himself into the pursuit. Although cougar is strong, he is also elusive - hard to spot in the wild - until he decides to pounce. His lesson to you today is one of being a balanced leader - not rushing into the attack, not always lurking in the brush.
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
Mockingbird
Mockingbirds are master imitators, and can mimic the calls of many other birds. They're also fearless protectors of their nest, and will attack any bird (no matter how large) to protect their young. Mockingbird's lesson for you today is twofold: to listen to how you might be mimicking others - instead of listening to your own true voice; and to examine the value of what you defend. Hmmm?
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Sasquatch
Is Big Foot real or a hoax? It doesn't really matter, because he has ambled into your reading to remind you of life's mysteries. Not everything can be explained, not everything can be touched - but that doesn't mean it don't exist. Suspend your logic for a bit, and be open to the mystery.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Turtle
Turtle carries his home on his back, and his question to you today is whether your life is weighed down with "things" that serve no purpose. Everyone loves buying stuff, but do you use shopping, spending, and the acquisition of "things" as a substitute for passion, conviction, commitment? It's worth thinking about, isn't it?
