Center

East
Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
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.
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
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.
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
Otter
Otter represents one of the most playful feminine energies on earth - and she has swum over into your reading to bring a message of joyful play. If life has been difficult or challenges overwhelming, relax a little - Otter is here to remind you that play is just as important as work - and NOT competitive play, but rather the kind you loved as a child. Hopscotch anyone?
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Rabbit
Poor Rabbit! No other animal is so associated with fear than Rabbit - that nervous little bunny who hops and leaps at every little sound. Rabbit has come to you today to ask you to have the courage to face whatever difficulties you're having instead of running away to a safe burrow. Face your fears, examine your old "fight or flight" patterns, and determine once and for all to stop hiding away.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Coyote
Taking yourself too seriously? If you are, Coyote will throw a banana peel in your tracks just to see you take a silly spill. Coyote medicine is Trickster medicine - the practical joker, the chaos maker. If Coyote appeared in your reading today, be ready for a curveball thrown in your direction. Remember, though, Coyote uses the bizarre to help us learn lessons we just can't seem to get any other way.
