Weekly Forecast Monday March 16th, 2020

Monday 3/16 – Opossum  – As the week kicks off Opossum reminds us to stay grounded and connected to our own center, despite any commotion that may be happening around us. It is particularly important to work on protecting our own energy today if we find ourselves engaged with people who seem to be riled up and looking to get others to jump on their wagon. Instead, tune into your breath, a calming visualization, or a mantra that reminds you of who you wish to be from moment to moment. The world can can be a chaotic place sometimes but you can always choose to cultivate and tap into a deep well of inner calm.

Tuesday 3/17 – Weasel - The call to be mindful of our energies fields continues today with Weasel encouraging us to be a bit more discreet as we move through the world. It’s particularly interesting that this card would appear at a time when a pandemic is sweeping the globe and “social distancing” is becoming a vital strategy for minimizing the impacts of the Coronavirus on communities all over the world. This isn’t about being cagey or paranoid but simply moving through public spaces mindfully and gently. If you are able to be out and about in your community today, do your best to take care of your business with as little social engagement as possible. You can hold an intention that your presence remains neutral and doesn’t create shift in the environment around you. This is an invaluable to skill to have in moments when you want to move through social settings without stirring up too much attention and there’s no better time to practice than right now!

Wednesday 3/18 – Jaguar – As we move into the middle of the week, Jaguar asks us to check in with our values and to ask ourselves if we are actively living them in our daily lives. This isn’t about striving for perfection or being harsh or judgmental towards ourselves, but rather an opportunity to find ways where we can create lives that are more authentic and nourishing, because ultimately, our hearts are most at peace when we know we are living honestly. Where can you be better about walking your talk? What shifts can you make, big or small, to step more fully into being the type of person you would like to be? Sit with the answers to those questions and then go work on making yourself proud for all the right reasons.

Thursday 3/19 – Wolf  – If you’ve been running in circles, seeking guidance from everyone around you, but still aren’t sure what the right answers are, try tuning into the wise voice that lives within you. Ultimately, there is no better authority on your own life than you, and if you take the time to be still and go within, you will find that the answers you’ve been seeking were always inside of you. Listen closely. Trust that deep knowing. It’s the most powerful compass and if you let it, it will guide you home. 

Friday 3/20 – Antelope Reversed – Have you been spinning, spinning, spinning your wheels for quite some time now, but find that you haven’t gotten any where? Or maybe that you’ve gone quite a distance, but down the wrong road? Today asks that we pause, assess how we are spending our time and energy, and determine whether our actions are in alignment with our visions for our life. This is an opportunity to bring much more awareness and intention to everything we do and make sure that we are actively creating the life we want, rather than just going through the motions. 

Saturday 3/21 – Armadillo Reversed  – Our ability to create healthy, loving connections with others depends, in great part, on whether or not we are able to create strong, but flexible boundaries. Often, our relationships with boundaries setting can be like a pendulum that swings between the extremes of rigid boundaries that keep people out and soft or non-existent boundaries that leave us open to being taken advantage of or abused. Spend some time today reflecting on your relationships and where you could stand to move back into that healthy middle ground. Soften where you need to in order to allow love in. Be more firm in the places that you must in order to be loving towards yourself. And trust that the people who are truly meant for you will support you as you make these shifts (and perhaps even be inspired to look at their relationship to boundary-setting as well!).

Sunday 3/22 – Dolphin – The weekend comes to a close with a message from Dolphin reminding us of the joy that we can source from simply being alive, from experiencing our breath come in and out of our bodies, and from feeling our connection to all of creation through this universal pulse. Drop into these simple pleasures today and allow yourself to experience the awe of just how miraculous this life is. If you find yourself struggling to find a sense of gratitude, do something to wake your senses up. Dance wildly. Jump up and down. Work with your breath. Stand under a stream of cold water. Scream at the top of your lungs. Feel your heartbeat and remember that you are still here and that alone is a gift.

Weekly Forecast Monday January 20th, 2020

Monday 1/20 – Otter Reversed  – We all need time to ourselves every now and again but at the end of the day we are social creatures and need the support of a loving community around us. Invest in connections with people who nourish your soul today and keep your gatherings intimate and simple. A movie night. Family-style dinner at someone’s home. A stroll in the local park or conversation over a good cup of coffee or tea. These moments have the power to bring us home to ourselves and to remind us of what is most important in life. Make sure you make time for them.

Tuesday 1/21 – Spider Reversed - Don’t stifle your need to express yourself today. There are some many ways to move and release energy and it’s absolutely vital that you discharge what’s coming up for you, whether that’s through movement, song, making art, or writing. Free association writing in particular can serve as a powerful way to release anything that’s felt heavy on your heart and mind lately. Don’t be afraid to pour it all out on paper and then let it go.

Wednesday 1/22 – Coyote Reversed – We humans are such funny creatures especially when we so often are the architects of our own suffering. Coyote reminds us to laugh at ourselves and to notice the ways we are tripping ourselves up. It could be excessive worrying, self-righteousness, or self-sabotaging behaviors. Only you know where you have room to be a bit more gentle with yourself. Get honest about what shifts would most support you and then pour on the compassion as you work on yourself. 

Thursday 1/23 – Antelope  – You may experience a little boost of energy today so ride that wave and dig into any projects that you’ve been wanting to see move forward. Clear away any distractions if you can and let yourself drop completely into the flow of inspiration. When you’re in this zone, you’ll be able to get twice as much done and feel uplifted rather than drained along the way. 

Friday 1/24 – Butterfly Reversed  – Where you are is exactly where you are meant to be in this moment. Can you trust that? Can you look around you and soak up every bit of magic that is currently surrounding you? It’s part of the irony of life that once you are able to fully embrace your present circumstances you are more able to move forward into what’s next with a groundedness and clarity.

Saturday 1/25 – Dragonfly Reversed  – Remind yourself today that you shouldn’t necessarily believe everything you think. That doesn’t mean to spin out in confusion or distrust, but rather to simply leave some space for the possibility that there are other truths. Stay curious and open-minded today, particularly if you’re feeling like digging your heels in. You may find that seeing things from another perspective actually supports your own expansion as well. 

Sunday 1/26 – Jaguar Reversed – Integrity is all about alignment of values and actions and making sure that your life is an embodiment of what you believe. We all have moments in which we blur the lines of what we know to be right or wrong out of convenience or hurt, but it’s important that we do our best to catch ourselves in the act and reroute as frequently as we can. Do a little personal inventory today of where you could be better about walking your talk. No need to be harsh or judgemental. Simply notice the places where you’re not living up to the person you would like to be and create whatever shifts you need to in order to make yourself truly proud of how you show up in the world.

Weekly Forecast Monday December 16th, 2019

Monday 12/16 – Squirrel – While it’s not helpful to get caught up in worries about the future, a little planning and preparation can go a long way. Spend some time today taking an inventory of your resources--monetary, sure, but also energy, time, and anything else that you know you tap into on a regular basis. How are you spending these resources? Is your current approach sustainable? And, if not, what tweaks or adjustments do you need to make so that you can make it, not only through the season, but through many seasons to come, feeling grounded and aligned?

Tuesday 12/17 – Spider - Creativity can be such a powerful healer and it doesn’t even require any skill. At its most basic, being creative is simply about authentic expression and you don’t need anything more than your own body and spirit for that. Sing. Dance. Tell a story. Of course, if you want to bring on other media like paints, clay, film, or instruments, feel free! The goal today is simply to move stagnant energy and to release anything that’s no longer serving you.

Wednesday 12/18 – Beaver Reversed – Watch out for self-sabotaging behaviors today, especially with regard to things that you’ve invested a lot of your time, money, and energy into. Even tiny leaks in a vessel will ultimately mean that it can’t hold what it’s meant to. If you notice that you’ve been spending money frivolously, giving your time to people who only leave you feeling drained, or falling into unhealthy habits that undo any progress you’ve made on your wellness goals, it might be time to do some work around your sense of self worth. You deserve to be successful and it’s time you not only believe that, but that your actions align with that belief as well!

Thursday 12/19 – Salmon Reversed – Those signs that keep showing up all over the place? The funny feeling you had? The vision that seems to just keep popping into your mind? Listen to them! Our intuition speaks to us in so many ways and it’s up to us to tune in and to honor the messages we receive! This doesn’t mean that you need to take every bit of it literally or go making major life changes based on a dream you had--although if you feel compelled to do that, then you absolutely should! More than anything though, cultivating a relationship with our intuitive gifts is about listening closely to our hearts, spirits, and often our guts, and then finding a way to at least explore whatever we find there. The more you practice, the more fine-tuned your gifts will become as will your clarity about what is most important to you in this wild ride of a life.

Friday 12/20 – Owl – For most of us, energy isn’t visible, but that doesn’t mean that it’s doesn’t exist or have very real impacts. Be especially mindful of the energy you are putting out today. We are so much more powerful than we realize and we are constantly casting spells with our thoughts and wishes. We are also inextricably interconnected, so anything you wish on another, you essentially wish on yourself as well. Make sure that you’re calling in things that you want, both for yourself and the world around you.

Saturday 12/21 – Lynx Reversed – If you find yourself wanting to tell someone about something you see in them, make sure what you have to say truly serves the highest good of all. More often than not, when we feel intensely compelled to tell someone something, it’s more about our need to discharge an uncomfortable energy. Instead, find another way to process what’s coming up for you and let your insights inform your decisions about how to move forward. If the person you wanted to share with is ready and willing to receive your feedback, they’ll let you know. Until then, it’s unlikely that sharing your reflections will have the outcome you had been hoping for.

Sunday 12/22 – Rabbit – Fear is part of the human experience and a little bit of fear around certain things can be healthy. It’s all about balance and the way we hold our experience. If you notice that worries or anxieties have been nagging at the edge of your awareness, look them straight in the eye. Honor their presence. Find out how they’re trying to protect or help you. And then wish them well before releasing them to Spirit. This practice will keep you from either running from or being consumed by your fears, both of which are a waste of your precious, divine energy.

Weekly Forecast Monday September 23rd, 2019

Monday 9/23 – Skunk Reversed  – We can say and do all the “right” things and there may still be someone out there who finds a reason to criticize us. If we live in the reflection of other’s eyes we give all of our power away and spend our days chasing external validation. Let go of your concerns about what others think of you and focus more on what you think of yourself. As long as you are living in alignment with your own values, that’s all that matters. 

Tuesday 9/24 – Crow Reversed - The darkest parts of our souls don’t have to trip us up, but the keys to allowing them to inform our behavior rather than control it are awareness and integration. Take time today to explore the parts of yourself that you feel shame around. Search for the gift within that experience and find ways to channel those energies into something positive. You may find that the very parts of your being that you’ve been running from could turn out to be directly linked to some of your most potent gifts. 

Wednesday 9/25 – Eagle Reversed – If you’re feeling disconnected from yourself or from Spirit, it’s time to slow down, tune in, and ask what is needed. Perhaps some time in nature or dropping into service. Maybe a ritual or simply prayer. Our relationships with ourselves and with something greater than us are deeply personal and only you will know what is needed to cultivate and nurture that connection. It may take some time to figure out what most supports you in feeling both grounded and expansive, but it will be one of the best investments you could ever make.

Thursday 9/26 – Salmon Reversed – We all feel lost from time to time and the temptation to give the reins to someone else can be so very real, but the truth is that no one can tell you which path is yours. Listen closely to your body. Notice the visions that pass through your mind. Honor the feelings in your gut. These are truly the best guidance systems you will ever find in your life and the more you practice working with them, the more fine-tuned they will become. It’s also worth noting that resistance doesn’t always mean that we’re going in the wrong direction. Salmon swim against the rushing river currents year after year to return to their birthplace and the place in which they will create new life. It’s not an easy trek, but they are pulled by the call of their instincts. It’s time to reconnect with your own inner knowing and follow it wherever it may lead. 

Friday 9/27 – Mouse  – Discernment isn’t about judgment or labeling anything as “bad” or “wrong”; it’s simply the process of deciding if something is or is not for us in this moment and it’s a vital part of healthy boundary-setting, both with others and with ourselves. Take time to notice today what supports your visions and dreams and what either detracts from them or is simply taking up space in your life. Don’t be afraid to release anything that is no longer serving you. It is, after all, the season of shedding, so let go and trust that something beautiful will bloom in the place of everything that falls away.

Saturday 9/28 – Coyote – You may be met with some contrarian energy today and you’re best bet is to soften rather than stiffen against it. In fact, laughing at yourself and all of the ways our egos can convince us that our way is the right way may be just what the doctor ordered today. Remember that we are all operating from different frameworks constructed from layers upon layers of experience. There’s no need to invalidate someone else’s perspective just because it doesn’t align with yours. If you need to create more distance between yourself and someone who is triggering challenging feelings within you then do so, but don’t forget to look at what is coming up for you and where you may have some healing to do around that.

Sunday 9/29 – Horse – The weekend ends on an uplifting note with Horse reminding us of our own power and agency. This is a grounded energy that is ideal for creating real and lasting change. What do you want your life to look like? What about the world around you? Your visions will come through clearly today and it’s up to you to do the work to bring them to life. You’ve have everything you need within you. Consistent effort will take you where you want to go.

Weekly Forecast Monday August 19th, 2019

Monday 8/19 – Grouse  – The mind is powerful but living life constantly in your head keeps you from enjoying the beautiful gift that is your physical experience. Each of our bodies is unique so what you most celebrate and cherish will be individual to you, but find a way today to drop into your body and really be present with your senses in a way that feels truly nourishing.

Tuesday 8/20 – Opossum - No matter how hard someone tries to antagonize you or loop you into a conflict, do not take the bait. You’ll reach a much happier resolution to whatever is at hand if you take some space and allow any charge around the issue to subside. If you’re struggling to walk away, ask yourself why and if it is really worth losing your peace over. 

Wednesday 8/21 – Salmon Reversed  – When we’re feeling uncertain or perhaps even as though we can’t trust ourselves, it can be tempting to try to seek out the answers in others, but at the end of the day, you’re the only one who can determine which path is yours. Tune deeply into your own intuition for guidance instead. Ask whatever questions you need to ask and then listen closely to the cues from your body and mind and honor their wisdom. These senses are often more subtle than the five that we usually notice so creating enough stillness to really notice and receive them will be a vital part of honing your intuitive capacities. 

Thursday 8/22 – Skunk Reversed – We are all responsible for our own energetic states and also for the impact we have on those around us. Particularly when we don’t receive the responses we want or find ourselves entangled in a less than desirable interpersonal dynamic, it can be easy to point fingers in every direction but our own. We become empowered however when we seek out the ways that we have contributed to the circumstances around us. Be extra mindful today of how you’re showing up with others, not just in overt actions, but also energetically. Ask yourself if you are carrying yourself with full integrity and if the answer is no, make the appropriate shifts necessary. Anything that you put out into the universe will eventually return to you in one form or another so if you want to get good, make sure you’re giving good. 

Friday 8/23 – Lizard Reversed  – Get out of your own way today by clearing away fears, limiting beliefs, bad habits, and anything else that is keeping you from being a clear channel for visions and dreams. This could mean letting go of people that tend to leave you doubting yourself, any “shoulds” that keep you from pursuing what you truly want, or an addiction to busyness that keeps you from being able to connect to your inner world and creativity. The faster you release anything that is clouding your vision, the sooner you’ll find yourself on a path that feels full of authentic joy and meaning.   

Saturday 8/24 – Snake Reversed – Don’t let yourself get swallowed up by your own emotions today. Yes, it’s important to feel your feelings, but that doesn’t mean you have to allow them to tear you apart as they move through you. No matter how challenging your current circumstances are or how deep your pain is, you can always choose to seek out the gift within all of it. There’s also nothing more healing than finding ways to support others who are navigating similar struggles so do your best to broaden your perspective and channel all of your energies towards creating something positive out of whatever hand you’ve been dealt. 

Sunday 8/25 – Swan – Grace comes in the most unexpected moments. A kind gesture from a stranger. Finding ourselves in the presence of something truly beautiful. A quiet moment in which we receive an infusion of faith or power, from seemingly nowhere at all. These things can take place at any time but we must first be open to receiving the blessing. See if you can lean just a little further into trust. It’s often when we are on the verge of giving up that we turn a corner and find ourselves face to face with an incredible opportunity. Keep your head up and your eyes, heart, and mind open.
