5/4/2016 GOING WITHIN WITH TURTLEWhether in the form of animal companions, animals in the wild, or even in bronze, our animal brethren always have a message to share with us.
Turtles symbolize patience, slowing down, and self-reflection. They are often synonymous with the Earth, the beginning of time, and creation. The wise ones of the animal kingdom, Turtles carry their homes on their backs and are one of the few animals that can fully retreat into their own shell. Until May 22 we find ourselves in a period of Mercury in Retrograde, often characterized by confusion and a sense that we are taking steps backwards. Retrogrades are great times to retreat within and examine our emotions - both light and dense - that want to be acknowledged, processed, and healed. During this time of introspection, call upon Turtle to show us how to be patient with ourselves, our animal companions, and others, as we work through bigger energetic patterns that are ready to be released. Ask Turtle to show up as a gentle reminder that home is where the heart is, and that the heart truly is home. If you find yourself feeling frustrated, impatient, or out of balance during this time, remember that all you have to do is go within, because like Turtle, you hold the wisdom of the world within your own shell. 3/22/2016 DOWN THE RABBIT HOLEWhether in the form of animal companions, animals in the wild, or even in chocolate, our animal brethren always have a message to share with us. This time of the year, it is not uncommon to see Rabbit several times in a single day.
Our bunny friends symbolize creativity, fertility, abundance, and luck. They are tuned in to their environment, including threats and opportunities, and rely on their intuition to tell them whether it is time to get over their fear and take a big leap. As such a keen intuitive soul, Rabbit acts as an incredible guide into expansion. The white Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland led her down a rabbit hole that changed her life, teaching Alice of her own power and gifting her a new understanding of the world. Just as going down the rabbit hole felt chaotic with everything turned upside down, the beginning of Spring can feel like an unsettled time when things have not yet solidified and bloomed. With powerful Equinox energies, this is a time where we and our animal companions can feel a bit agitated. Take this period of transition to reflect with gratitude on what the winter season has brought you, and to shape what you would like to see blossom for you and your furry friends in the springtime and beyond. Although the energies can be chaotic, we can always count on Rabbit to remind us that we will soon see the world with a new, more expanded perspective 2/27/2016 ANIMALS AS MESSENGERSWhether in the form of animal companions, animals in the wild, or even in bronze, our animal brethren always have a message to share with us. My furry friend Neville brought me to visit seals today, which symbolize playfully opening up to your creativity, imagination, inner voice, and dreams. Let's all heed their message, take time to dream and play, and see what wants to open up for us!
