Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
Magpie
Ancient culture associate Magpies with excellent fortune - so it looks like you've got something really terrific coming into your life today. However, you may need to search a little to understand the true gift that's being presented. Pay attention to omens, messages, the clouds, feathers, bird song - your fortune is hidden in those subtle messages. Opportunity is knocking at your door - will you answer?
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
Armadillo
You'll never get too close to Armadillo as his hard shell will keep you at arm's length! And, if this roly-poly fellow is in your reading, he's asking YOU to examine the areas where you need a hard shell - boundaries! Do you "do" for everyone but never "do" for yourself? Or, are you being TOO sensitive, protecting yourself even when danger isn't present?
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
Bear
Bear represents a time of reflection and stillness - a time of entering the inner cave of Self to contemplate life's challenges. Bear often appears during times of confusion and unrest - those unsettling moments when you turn to everyone you know for answers - everyone except yourself. Go within, ask the hard questions - then listen.
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Dolphin
Ever watched a school of dolphins playing with each other, or with the surfers in their midst? If you have, you'll understand the message Dolphin brings today - the message of joyful play. Dolphins are in total harmony with their environment, and practice love for each other - always helping the young, or a sick comrade. Join Dolphin's happy community today and celebrate how much we're all alike, instead of focusing on our differences.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Eagle
Eagle soars high enough to see the grand panorama of life, and yet has vision keen enough to spot a fish a mile away. How's your vision? Are you seeing the big picture or are you only concentrating on the fish? Eagle is asking you to take a step back so you can once again see the whole. You've gotten so lost in the trees you've forgotten the forest.
