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

Magpie

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.

Bat

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.

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

Rabbit

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.

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

Lizard

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.

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

Polar Bear

Polar Bear

Polar Bear instinctively knows how to conserve his energy and will observe a situation before he takes action. Once he decide it's the appropriate time to move forward, however, he has the strength, energy, and fortitude to face whatever dangers lie ahead. Having problems making a change? Polar Bear is here to help, and his message to you is: Take heart, have courage, build your strength, then MOVE!
