Your Self Overall
Owl
Many cultures associate Owl with death, while others see Owl as the "night eagle" - the bird that embodies shamanism. Owl has exceptional hearing, and his medicine is one of clairaudience - the ability to hear spirit. If Owl has silently glided into your life today, he is asking you to face your own fears, and listen to the messages spirit is sending you.
Matters Concerning Your Home (The Moon Card)
Panther
Panther medicine is the medicine of silence. Panther can stalk its prey in absolute silence - one of the reasons native tribes associate him with the spirit world - particularly the night. Panther can show you how to face the Shadow within and bring it out into the Light. Panther is powerful medicine - and the fact that you choose him says much about your willingness to face the unknown.
Matters Concerning Business, Skills and Integrity (The Card of Mercury)
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.
Matters Concerning Love (The Card of Venus)
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.
Matters Concerning Hostility, Opposition and Aggression (The Card of Mars)
Bat
Bat's internal radar is exceptionally attuned - is yours? Because Bat medicine is the medicine of transformation, he is asking you to re-examine your life to determine (using all of your senses) what is worth keeping and what needs to be discarded. For every death there is a rebirth and Bat is here to help you decide what goes and what stays.
Matters of Finance, Acquisition and Wealth (The Card of Jupiter)
Squirrel
Hoard, hoard, hoard! Squirrel has been a busy fellow, gathering food for the long winter ahead - and he advises you to do the same. Have you set enough money aside to get you through lean times, or do you squander what you earn? We all love a shopping spree, but if Squirrel scurries into your reading, he's cautioning you to spend a little, but also save a little.
Matters of the Intellect (The Card of Saturn)
The Crane
Cranes have been revered for centuries in many Oriental cultures, symbolizing good fortune and long life. If Crane has flown into your reading today, he brings a message of good tidings. Be prepared for something special today - emotional balance, good health, a spiritual "ah-ha!", or simply pure joy.
The Outcome
Heron
Is your life in a state of balance? If not, long-legged Heron has flown in today to help you. Because Heron is a water bird, he is most often associated with emotions. He stands motionless, almost in a trance, his body mirrored in the water below. Take a few moments today to be like Heron - be quiet, go within, and discover the answer to your questions.
