Monday 4/5 – Coyote Reversed – Watch out for a tendency to trip over your own feet today. Whether it’s through self sabotaging behaviors or little habits that simply don’t serve our highest good, we can so often be our own worst enemy. This might be especially likely to show up today in the form of obsessive worry or rumination, so be sure to do things that help you stay present, grounded, and expansive in your perspective on life and your current circumstances. If you’re looking for a short cut to letting go of things that are feeling especially heavy, laughter is truly the key. Do something spontaneous and silly to break through the tension and bring yourself back to a more light-hearted state of being.
Tuesday 4/6 – Salmon - The message for today is all about coming home. Sure, to familiar physical spaces that will hold us during these strange times. But even more so to our own hearts and spirits. To the wisdom that lives within each of us but is so often drowned out by busyness and lives of constant stimulation. Take some time today to tune inward. Notice any stirrings that have been quietly going on beneath the surface. Are there unmet needs there? Dreams or desires? Or perhaps a guiding message that has been waiting to come through? This collective pause offers a powerful opportunity to deepen our relationship with our subtle senses and to cultivate our intuitive gifts. Take it.
Wednesday 4/7 – Dog Reversed – Tagging off of Salmon’s guidance, Dog invites us to seek out the places in our lives where we can be more authentic. If you were to view this moment as a chance to start anew with a clean slate, what changes would you make? What would you choose to leave behind? What would you wish to invite in or create? Even if you don’t have the bandwidth to make major shifts right now, take note of the visions that come to you during this time, so that you can use them as guideposts in the days ahead.
Thursday 4/8 – Porcupine – The gift of crisis is the clarity it brings about what is actually important and what is not and what we are realizing amidst the global upheaval around the spread of the Corona Virus is how very fundamental human connection is for wellbeing as individuals and as a collective. Now more than ever, it is vital to reach out to one another. To stay open-hearted and centered in compassion. If you feel like you need support, don’t be afraid to reach out. If you have gifts you’ve been waiting to share with the world, now’s the time! Both take courage and a willingness to be vulnerable, but if there’s anything this moment in history is teaching us, it’s that the only way we are going to overcome the challenges we’re facing is by coming together and supporting one another.
Friday 4/9 – Spider Reversed – There is a little bit of a frustration and angst coming through today and the very best way to work with these energies is to drop into creativity. Move your body. Sing. Make art. Write. Channel every difficult feeling or experience into something tangible. All the better if it’s something that can support the healing of others, too, whether that’s simply from feeling less alone or by being inspired to also turn their pain into something beautiful.
Saturday 4/10 – Bat Reversed – It has not slipped my attention that the Corona Virus is believed to have been transmitted to humans via an interaction with a bat. This seems especially poignant given that Bat medicine is all about rebirth and there really couldn’t be a better metaphor for what we are experiencing as a global collective in response to the pandemic. We are being pushed into a new way of existing, with no real clear picture of what lies on the other side of this transition, and experiencing the pains of having so much that felt stable and familiar stripped away quite suddenly. We cannot change what is. What cannot resist the destiny that is already taking shape. We can however choose to embrace the moment fully, with radical acceptance, and a faith that we are being led to the exact place we are meant to be. This will not only allow us more peace and grace as we navigate life in a rapidly shifting world, but will also allow us to be more present so we may move forward with greater clarity, awareness, and empowerment. The world may feel as if it’s been turned upside down right now, but with loss and endings come opportunities for positive change and new beginnings.
Sunday 4/11 – Raccoon Reversed – With privilege comes responsibility and today we are being called to look at the gifts and blessings we have been given in our lives and to ask ourselves how we can pay that forward to those who are less fortunate. This could look like shifting personal habits in order to live in a way that decreases the harmful impact you might have on others or it could involve finding ways to support a specific person or group that may be marginalized or simply struggling. Either way, make sure that your actions serve to empower others, because no one needs to be saved, but we could all use a helping hand from time to time.
