Turkey
Has turkey gobbled his way into your life today? If so he brings a message of sacrificing for the greater good. To some indigenous tribes, Turkey represents the spirit of the giveaway - a ceremony where those who have more give to those who have less, thus "sacrificing" for others. If Turkey helps you feel the spirit of giving, who can you help?
July
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.
August

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?

Lizard
Are you dreaming a dream that's big enough? If Lizard has appeared before you today, the gauntlet has been thrown down, the challenge made. Stop hiding your light beneath a rock - be willing to be bigger than life, to dream bigger than your imagination, to throw caution to the wind, and aim for the target you've spent a lifetime avoiding.
October
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.
November
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.
December
Mockingbird
Mockingbirds are master imitators, and can mimic the calls of many other birds. They're also fearless protectors of their nest, and will attack any bird (no matter how large) to protect their young. Mockingbird's lesson for you today is twofold: to listen to how you might be mimicking others - instead of listening to your own true voice; and to examine the value of what you defend. Hmmm?
January
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.
February
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.
March
Sasquatch
Is Big Foot real or a hoax? It doesn't really matter, because he has ambled into your reading to remind you of life's mysteries. Not everything can be explained, not everything can be touched - but that doesn't mean it don't exist. Suspend your logic for a bit, and be open to the mystery.
April
Ant
Ant is dutiful, patient, industrious and focused. If you ever put an obstacle in the middle of an ant trail, you'll notice that ant will go over it, around it, or even under it - but ant will NOT let the obstacle drive him backwards. Above all, ant is a team player, and knows that if each member of the team does his assigned task, the team will succeed. Do you have goals that are best met by team effort? If so, get the other players off the bench and let them into your game.
May
Hummingbird
Sorrow and worry have no place in your life today, as Hummingbird's message is one of absolute joy. Hummer's darting movements, flashes of brilliant reds and greens, and unmistakable whirr are all guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of even the most dour among us. If live has been difficult of late, know that joy is whirring your way.
