East
Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
Butterfly
Beautiful butterfly has fluttered into your reading to remind you of the powerful transformational energies at work in your life. If something important seems to be stagnating, know that transformation is at work just below the surface - and just like the caterpillar, the "cocooned" situation you're fretting about is about to be freed.
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
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?
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
Ant
Ant is dutiful, patient, industrious and focused. If you ever put an obstacle in the middle of an ant trail, you'll notice that ant will go over it, around it, or even under it - but ant will NOT let the obstacle drive him backwards. Above all, ant is a team player, and knows that if each member of the team does his assigned task, the team will succeed. Do you have goals that are best met by team effort? If so, get the other players off the bench and let them into your game.
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Hawk
Hawk flies into your reading today to bring you an important message. It may come in the mail, e-mail, a casual remark at the grocery store, a randomly selected page in a book, or even a phrase heard on the radio. Be alert, as hawk messages can sometimes be delivered in a subtle fashion.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Horse
When Horse came back to the Americas, he brought with him the ability to move rapidly from place to place - and it's this rapid movement that he brings to you today. Get up, get out of the rut you've created. Grab Horse's mane, pull yourself onto his back and let him carry you across the plains of your life. The time for being stuck is over.
