East
Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
Fox
Fox medicine represents the ability to blend in. She can change colors to blend with the seasons - becoming almost invisible against a backdrop of snow or foliage. Fox also has an amazing sense of smell that enables her to sniff out dangerous situations. Be like a Fox - street smart and safety savvy - don't call attention to yourself as today is a day of watch and wait.
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
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.
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
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.
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Deer
If you can imagine Bambi, you can imagine the message Deer brings to you today - a message of sweetness, innocence, and gentle spirit. Be delicate today in your communication with other and with yourself. This is definitely not a time for being critical, mean-spirited, or sarcastic. Just as Deer's heart can be easily wounded, so can the heart of your friends, co-workers, or family members.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Wolverine
Wolverine is thought to be a bridge between the physical and spirit worlds. He has the ability to survive in the most difficult terrains - and his message to you is of inner strength. Have you forgotten just how powerful you really are? If so, it's time to refocus and re-dedicate - and remember that Wolverine medicine runs through your blood.
