Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
Dove
Are you going through life carrying old grief, pain or hate? If so, Dove (sometimes known as Mourning Dove) encourages you to let go of your emotional baggage so that true healing can take place. It's time to forgive, release, and move forward. And, know that healing Dove is flying right beside you.
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
Opossum
You've heard the expression "playing possum"? It means to play dead and is derived from Opossum's ability to act in whatever way the situation demands. If it's practical to play dead, so be it; if it's to Opossum's advantage to be aggressive, watch out! Take your cue from this master actor today - and play the role that will serve you best.
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
Spider
Spider represents a connection between past and future, to remind you that the web you weave today is the web you will inhabit tomorrow. Are you spinning a balanced future? Spider is also a creator, spinning stories just as easily as she does a web. Spider in your reading asks you to consider the future you are weaving - does it include your biggest dreams?
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Coyote
Taking yourself too seriously? If you are, Coyote will throw a banana peel in your tracks just to see you take a silly spill. Coyote medicine is Trickster medicine - the practical joker, the chaos maker. If Coyote appeared in your reading today, be ready for a curveball thrown in your direction. Remember, though, Coyote uses the bizarre to help us learn lessons we just can't seem to get any other way.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Frog
Frog Rivet! Something in your life needs cleansing, and frog is here to help. Frog is traditionally associated with rain - that powerful force of Nature that can flood, nurture, heal, or drown. If Frog appears in your reading, you're being asked to examine what is stagnating in your life - then ask Frog to help you let it go. Need to cry? Jump in the shower and let Frog Medicine do its work.
