East
Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
Green Man
Green Man peers out of the foliage to remind you that not all of life's mysteries have logical solutions. Be open to magical opportunities, spirit allies, and unconventional paths. Get out into the wilderness, ground yourself in meditation, and listen for Green Man's wisdom. You may just catch sight of him eyeing you in his leafy camouflage.
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.
Hawk
Hawk flies into your reading today to bring you an important message. It may come in the mail, e-mail, a casual remark at the grocery store, a randomly selected page in a book, or even a phrase heard on the radio. Be alert, as hawk messages can sometimes be delivered in a subtle fashion.
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Heron
Is your life in a state of balance? If not, long-legged Heron has flown in today to help you. Because Heron is a water bird, he is most often associated with emotions. He stands motionless, almost in a trance, his body mirrored in the water below. Take a few moments today to be like Heron - be quiet, go within, and discover the answer to your questions.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Antelope
Antelope medicine is one of right action. If you were to visit Northern Plains today, you would see groups of antelope scattered about the fields and hills. However they are so quiet and unmoving that (from a distance) they resemble stones. But, get too close and they move like lightening. Antelope asks you: are you being still when you should be moving, or moving when stillness is required?
