Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
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?
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
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.
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
Frog
Frog Rivet! Something in your life needs cleansing, and frog is here to help. Frog is traditionally associated with rain - that powerful force of Nature that can flood, nurture, heal, or drown. If Frog appears in your reading, you're being asked to examine what is stagnating in your life - then ask Frog to help you let it go. Need to cry? Jump in the shower and let Frog Medicine do its work.
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Beaver
Beaver may be one of the hardest working animals on the planet. Beaver is attuned to both earth and water medicine, and is strongly attached to home and family. Beaver appears in your reading to remind you that sometimes there's no substitute for hard work. Make a plan, create a solid foundation, then take the next indicated step.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Antelope
Antelope medicine is one of right action. If you were to visit Northern Plains today, you would see groups of antelope scattered about the fields and hills. However they are so quiet and unmoving that (from a distance) they resemble stones. But, get too close and they move like lightening. Antelope asks you: are you being still when you should be moving, or moving when stillness is required?
