East
Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
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.
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
Loon
Loons mate for life, and their medicine is about loyalty, family, and deep caring for one another. If you're experiencing a relationship fraught with power struggles, you are NOT practicing Loon medicine. If your relationship has BECOME a power struggle, Loon has appeared to remind you that this is a time of equal sharing and equal happiness. Something is amiss and Loon thinks you already know what it is.
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
Otter
Otter represents one of the most playful feminine energies on earth - and she has swum over into your reading to bring a message of joyful play. If life has been difficult or challenges overwhelming, relax a little - Otter is here to remind you that play is just as important as work - and NOT competitive play, but rather the kind you loved as a child. Hopscotch anyone?
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
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.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
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.
