Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.

Raccoon

Raccoon

This masked bandit can make you laugh with his antics, or make you angry when you realize he's made off with your food! Raccoon is incredibly curious - to the point that he'll walk into a potentially dangerous situation just to see what's up. Like Raccoon, are there situations you're barging into before you have all the information? Might want to re-think this one.

North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.

Black Swan

Black Swan

Wherever the Black Swan appears in your reading you can expect unexpected and unpredictable events to majorly impact your life in that aspect. Beyond noting that the influences Black Swan indicates will be extraordinarily large in scope, it may be difficult to tell if the fortune it foretells will be good or bad. Black Swan affected events may begin so subtly that they are very difficult to identify. When trying to discover what the Black Swan portends for you, look for events that do not occur in your life regularly or at all.

East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.

Blue Jay

Blue Jay

Blue Jay encourages you to be a little sassy today! If there's something you've been wanting, ask for it. If there's an issue that needs confrontation, don't sweep it under the rug or Blue Jay will drag it back out into the open. One word of caution, though - Blue Jays will eat the young of other birds - so be direct, but not destructive.

South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.

Green Man

Green Man

Green Man peers out of the foliage to remind you that not all of life's mysteries have logical solutions. Be open to magical opportunities, spirit allies, and unconventional paths. Get out into the wilderness, ground yourself in meditation, and listen for Green Man's wisdom. You may just catch sight of him eyeing you in his leafy camouflage.

West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.

Squirrel

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.
