Weekly Forecast Monday February 24th, 2020

Monday 2/24 – Mountain Lion Reversed  – Today we’re being asked to sit with our relationship to the idea of leadership, and more specifically, how we feel about our own ability to step into that role. Do you think of yourself as a leader? And, if so, what kind of leader are you or do you wish to be? Are you approaching your role as a leader from a place of heart and service or are you getting tripped up in ego and a desire to be exalted or admired? If the idea of leadership repels you, it might be a good time to ask yourself why and consider working at the edge of your comfort zone in this area. Not all leaders have to be front and center. What gifts do you have to offer the world? In what ways do you feel called to serve your community? The answer to these questions are the keys to uncovering your own unique opportunities for stepping into leadership and empowering not only yourself but those around you as well. 

Tuesday 2/25 – Snake Reversed - The quickest way to shift from victim mindset into a more empowered state is to ask yourself how your current problems could be turned into purpose. Whether you’re dealing with deep struggle or a simple frustration, see if you can find the opportunity within your current circumstances today. Maybe that means creating a tool or organizational structure that could make life easier for both you and others. Perhaps it means starting a support group for people who might be navigating similar challenges or making art that inspires the people around you to channel their pain into creative outlets. Either way, uplifting others can be one of the most potent ways to activate your own healing.

Wednesday 2/26 – Mouse Reversed – Pay very close attention today to all of the little details and exercise discernment, particularly when it comes to making agreements, signing contracts, or starting any new venture. Read the fine print. Ask all the questions. And definitely listen to your gut if it’s telling you that something’s amiss. We are in the midst of a mercury retrograde period right now, which means that the risk of miscommunications and technological snafus is heightened, so take a little extra time and caution in all of your ventures today.

Thursday 2/27 – Eagle Reversed  – Eagle swoops in today to remind us that there is sacredness in all things. Allow this truth to infuse your every movement today. The goal isn’t to be perfect in every interaction, but to simply come back, again and again, to the awareness that everything we do has an impact and that we can consciously choose what kind of impact we wish to make. How would you treat the person ringing you up at the grocery store, your child, or the stranger in the car next to you if you knew they were god or divinity incarnate? Act as if this were the case. Notice the way your experience of life shifts. 

Friday 2/28 – Antelope Reversed – If you’ve been feeling stuck in analysis paralysis and indecision, it’s time to let go of the belief that there is “one right way” to go and to trust that your destiny is yours and can’t be missed. Take a step. Any step. Even if it doesn’t lead you to where you want to be, you will learn something along the way and you can always choose to reroute. Allow yourself more room to be lighthearted as you move through life. Making mistakes is always going to be part of the process. Once you embrace imperfection, you’ll have so much more freedom to explore which route you want to take.

Saturday 2/29 – Jaguar Reversed  – The call today is to look closely at our values and our actions and to notice the places where the two may not be in alignment. Are there places in your life where you aren’t practicing what you preach? Where can you be more honest with yourself about how you’re showing up? Again, this isn’t about perfection or being hard on ourselves, but rather about getting curious and gently refining the areas that need a little attention.

Sunday 3/1 – Skunk – Often the relationships in our lives follow certain patterns and noticing this can provide some excellent clues into our part in what shows up for us. This isn’t to say that we’re necessarily “asking for” everything that comes our way, but if we keep having the same experiences in relationships again and again, it’s important to note that we are the common denominator and that we may be unconsciously leaving the door open for certain types of dynamics. If this rings true for you, there’s no need to beat yourself up or shame yourself. Instead, seize the opportunity to take your power back by taking responsibility for what you allow into your life. Your relationship with yourself will set the tone for how others treat you, so start there and work outwards. Sometimes even the smallest shifts can have far-reaching impacts.

Weekly Forecast Monday February 17th, 2020

Monday 2/17 – Opossum  – If a storm seems to sweep into your day today in the form of an antagonistic person, just let it/them roll on by. Stay connected to your own center. Remind yourself that their actions are a reflection of their internal state and most likely have nothing to do with you. And give them space to work it out on their own. This may mean simply refraining from responding to little quips or biting remarks or it could mean removing yourself from their presence altogether. Whatever you do, don’t engage. Your energy is far too precious to let it get tainted by someone else’s misguided attempts at managing their own struggles. 

Tuesday 2/18 – Squirrel - The message for today is all about resetting and reorganizing our lives and with Mercury retrograde in full swing, this couldn’t make more sense. Look around at both the physical and energetic spaces in your life and figure out what could use a little tweaking, readjusting, cleaning up, or even purging. Keep your vision for the season ahead in mind as you revamp and create a strong, stable foundation for the life you wish to create. Once the retrograde is over, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running.

Wednesday 2/19 – Black Panther Reversed – There are moments where we are asked to push at the edge of our ability to trust, in life, in divine timing, and more than anything, in ourselves. This is one of those moments. Support yourself today with self care practices that help you maintain groundedness and support your ability to meet whatever comes your way with courage and maybe even a cheeky twinkle in your eye. Don’t forget the possibility that things could turn out to be even more magical than you ever could have imagined. 

Thursday 2/20 – Otter Reversed  – Soften, soften, soften, and then soften a little more. That is the medicine today. In order to open up to connection, creativity, and the flow of universal energy, we have to open our hearts, release our rigidity, and embrace the vulnerability that comes with being a human meant to experience life alongside other humans. Tune into your heart center today. Notice the way that tender organ inside your chest beats for you day after day. Without demanding anything in return. Allow yourself to feel how very fleeting this life can be, and then, rather than closing in fear, surrender to wonder and gratitude. 

Friday 2/21 – Dragonfly Reversed – Question your own perspective today and hold space for the possibility that there are other versions of reality that are equally as valid. Of course, your experience is true for you, but it is not the only truth, and opening up to other ways of seeing the world and your circumstances may actually be the key to finding creative solutions to issues that you’ve been circling for some time now. 

Saturday 2/22 – Ant Reversed  – If you catch yourself struggling with impatience today, drop into sensual pleasure practices to reconnect with the beauty held within the present moment. This could be something as simple as feeling warm sunlight on your skin or the sensation of a cool breeze; it could be intentionally taking in and appreciating a beautiful view or sinking into a hot bath. The goal here is to seek out the gifts that are here, right now, in this very moment. Take this on as a challenge today. It just might help you release the need to be anywhere but right here, right now. 

Sunday 2/23 – Turkey – Every single one of us has some area of our lives where we experience abundance. Whether that’s in material resources, social capital, or simply our own resilience and strength of spirit. Today, find a way to pay it forward. If you feel called to donate to a cause that’s meaningful to you, then do that. If you are more drawn to volunteering your time, energy, and expertise, then go for it. Even something as simple as holding space for a dear friend or supporting someone in your circle who you know could use a little extra help could make a far bigger impact than you could imagine. Don’t underestimate your ability to create positive shifts in the world around you. Just pick a corner that you think could use a little extra love and then give of yourself joyfully and generously.

Weekly Forecast Monday February 10th, 2020

Monday 2/10 – Eagle Reversed  – The task at the beginning of the week is to reconnect. To yourself. To the world around you. To a sense of something greater and your place within that. There’s really no wrong way to do this, so long as you’re centered in love and compassion. Prayer, ritual, time out in nature or amongst a spiritual community, or meditative practices are all powerful ways to tune into our own spirits and the truth of our interconnectedness to all things. Take time today to remember both your own sacredness and that of all of creation. 

Tuesday 2/11 – Bear - The call to go inward continues today as Bear asks us to drop into stillness so that we may hear the wisdom of that often quiet inner voice. This is a wonderful day to engage in practices like meditation, free association writing, or vision work. Allow yourself enough time and space to be present with any lessons you’ve navigated over the past season and where your heart is leading you as we move slowly from winter towards spring. You might be surprised by what comes forward when you allow yourself a little time to reflect on your experiences and desires.

Wednesday 2/12 – Owl Reversed – It’s important to remember that if you’re feeling frazzled or off-kilter, your perception of the world around you may be skewed as well. Take time to ground today, in whatever way best supports you. Take a walk, work with your breath, put your bare feet on the ground. Just make sure that you’ve discharged any frenetic energy and come back to a centered, clear state before making any important decisions today. 

Thursday 2/13 – Dog Reversed  – In order to be true to ourselves, we have to know what lives inside of us. And this includes more than the pretty hopes and dreams. Today calls for a bit of shadow work and creating space for all parts of our experience--even the aspects of ourselves that we believe to be bad, shameful, or uncomfortable. Take time today to get in touch with your anger, your grief, your selfishness, or any other heavy feelings that you might be otherwise tempted to push down. Hold it all gently. Learn its stories and dig through it to find the gifts inside. Anything you look directly at is much less likely to sneak up on you. And you might even be able to make an ally out of something you once considered an enemy. 

Friday 2/14 – Grouse Reversed – For many of us, the winter months are often a time of less movement and more rest, but as we move towards spring, we are being called to start to reconnect with our bodies. Slow and gentle is the key here, particularly if you’ve been feeling disconnected from your physical experience or have been struggling with any sort of health issues. Maybe start with some leisurely walks in your neighborhood, some intuitive movement and stretching in your own home, or even just some self-massage to help wake up the senses and stimulate the lymphatic system (this is especially helpful if you got hit with any of those gnarly viruses that have been going around all winter). There’s no need to overpush or throw ourselves in at the deep end. Instead, simply work at what feels comfortable and most nourishing and build from there. 

Saturday 2/15 – Buffalo  – Prayer can be a deeply powerful practice, but it’s less about the asking and more about the willingness to open up and receive. Sometimes our prayers are answered in the most unexpected ways and it’s up to us to cultivate enough humility and faith to be able to notice what is showing up for us in the present moment. The questions to ask yourself today are: What is my relationship to prayer? What am I asking for guidance or support around and am I keeping the channels open so that I may notice when my calls are being answered?

Sunday 2/16 – Wolf Reversed – If you’ve been finding yourself feeling defensive, closed to the perspectives of others, or like no one has anything to offer you, it’s time to soften. These energies can show up in very subtle ways sometimes and can manifest as rigidity, frustration, or even a sense of loneliness and are often the result of feeling let down or overburdened. Can you remember what it was like to be a child? To experience everything as a learning opportunity? To be hungry for growth and to seek it out in each and every moment? This is the task at hand today. Come back to your birthright of curiosity, awe, and wonder. It’s one of the most powerful and transformative shifts you can make and all you have to do is choose it.

Weekly Forecast Monday February 3rd, 2020

Monday 2/3 – Squirrel Reversed  – This week kicks off with a message from Squirrel asking us to take a look at the areas of our lives that we may be holding onto things that no longer serve us and to begin the process of letting go. This could be material things, relationships, or even parts of our own identity. Trust that anything that falls away at this time is only creating space for growth in new directions.

Tuesday 2/4 – Buffalo - We so often think of abundance as a measure of how much we have, but the truth is that abundance is a state of being. It’s a way of viewing the world and our relationship to life. And it grows from a foundation of presence and gratitude. Of reveling deeply in the simplest pleasures and allowing ourselves to fully absorb the nourishment that comes from taking in a beautiful view, from experiencing loving connection with someone in our life, or from feeling the warmth of sunlight on our skin. The task today is to see how much we can tap into the feeling of truly being blessed, in ways big and small.

Wednesday 2/5 – Grouse Reversed – It’s time to tune in to our bodies and listen closely to what they are asking. This is especially needed if there’s been a tendency to disassociate as a result of chronic pain, illness, or any other challenging physical experiences. Start slowly and work gently at the edge of your comfort zone. If you need to make amends with your body for any ways you might have neglected it, then do so. Even when we feel that our bodies are not performing in the ways we wish they would, it is still such a gift to get to be present in this life in physical form. Remind yourself of this by pouring on the self-love in the form of self-massage, some gentle stretching, hydration, invigorating movement, or anything else that would feel most nourishing at this time. 

Thursday 2/6 – Raccoon  – None of us make it through this life without the support of others around us. Today is a day to pay forward any support you’ve received along the way to someone else who might be in need. Whether that’s in the form of a little encouragement, pulling some strings to help connect someone to opportunities that they are seeking, or putting int time and energy to help someone out on a passion project. The key here is to make sure that what you’re doing empowers someone and helps them connect with their own light and purpose.

Friday 2/7 – Snake Reversed – Snake shows up again this week, this time in the reversed position, reminding us of the importance of channeling our energy intentionally, especially in the face of hardship. It’s perfectly human to feel frustrated, sad, or angry when life hands us experiences we wouldn’t have asked for, but staying stuck in victim mentality is a surefire way to waste lots of precious life force. Instead, harness your inner warrior. Look your challenges dead in the eye and then wink at them. Trust yourself to be able to not only make it through whatever comes your way, but to make something beautiful out of it as well. And then get to work doing just that. Life really is what we make of it. What do you plan to create today?

Saturday 2/8 – Beaver Reversed  – Sometimes the person we have to protect ourselves from most is the person we’re looking at in the mirror. Watch out today for self-sabotaging behaviors and energy leaks. Get clear about what is most important to you, where you know you should be investing your time/energy/money, and the ways you haven’t been fully showing up for the things you value. No need to spend time mired in shame. Simply readjust in whatever ways necessary to bring yourself back into alignment so that your actions embody your priorities and then watch your whole life shift for the better. 

Sunday 2/9 – Ant – Patience is the name of the game today. Slow down. Take deep breaths. Trust in both divine timing because you are exactly where you need to be right now. Time has a way of rolling on regardless of what we do and change is the only constant, so stop and notice all the beauty around you and soak up the blessings of the present moment, because before you know it, it will all be in the past.

Weekly Forecast Monday January 27th, 2020

Monday 1/27 – Armadillo Reversed  – Boundary setting has been a hot topic in the self-help and social psychology worlds for years now but we mostly hear discussions about people with a lack of boundaries. What’s less spoken of is the fact that our relationship with boundary setting falls on a spectrum from rigid boundaries to soft or non-existent boundaries, with the healthy approach falling somewhere in the middle of these two poles. Today asks that we take a look at our own relationship to boundary-setting, both with others and with ourselves, and assess for places that we could work to move more towards that healthy middle ground. Could we stand to be clearer about our own needs and what does and doesn’t work for us? Or is our work in being more willing to compromise and to be flexible enough to make space for connection and intimacy? Only you will know what the answer is for you and how much you are willing to work at the edge of your comfort zone. And remember, this work is about progress, not perfection, so be gentle with yourself as you explore.

Tuesday 1/28 – Snake - So many of us have had really rough starts to this new year. The good news? The energy seems to be shifting and we’re finally getting to the place where we can see the gift held within our struggles. It’s time to take that pile of crap and use it to fertilize the garden of your life. What do you want to grow? What have your challenges taught you about what you value in life and what you want to prioritize? Now take any residual charge from the things that have triggered you and channel it into the creation of your highest vision. You’ve got this. 

Wednesday 1/29 – Eagle Reversed – You’re relationship with Spirit, either a higher power or simply your own spirit, is just like any other relationship in your life--it requires consistent tending. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself and/or something greater than you, it’s time to rekindle those connections. Maybe that means spending time with your spiritual community, engaged in ritual or ceremony, or simply praying in whatever way feels true to you. Perhaps your own breath and heartbeat are the rhythms that will tap you back into the interconnectedness of all things and your vital place within the universe. Sometimes just creating space for the experience of awe and wonder can be the key. Either way, your relationship with Spirit is the most vital relationship in your life and the one that will carry you through until the end of your days. Invest in it accordingly. 

Thursday 1/30 – Bat  – Embrace the fresh energy and the shifts that are taking place both around and within you right now. A new phase is being ushered in and you are being invited to step more fully into your truth and power. There may be some shedding during this process and that’s okay. Release anything that is keeping you small or dimming your light. Don’t be afraid to try new things or new ways of being. You may find that you’ll learn something about yourself that has the opportunity to alter the landscape of your life in the most wonderful ways.

Friday 1/31 – Owl – Today offers a special opportunity to tap into your intuitive gifts and subtle senses. Most of us can’t see energy, but with practice, we can learn to fine-tune our ability to feel it. This is such a special gift to develop because, when we are more aware of our own energy and that of others, we can make more informed choices about how we wish to move through the world. Spend time today noticing your own energy field, how it impacts those around you, the energy fields of others, and how the energies of others interplays with your own. Just be mindful of appropriate boundaries and make sure that you are not manipulating or invading the energy of those around you. Simply tuning in with a gentle touch and unconditional positive regard is all it takes to start to cultivate a stronger intuitive abilities.

Saturday 2/1 – Black Panther Reversed  – Where are you afraid to surrender? To welcome in the unknown? To trust in both the universe and yourself? The answers to these questions may arise for you today. If you are feeling ungrounded or uneasy about the future, come back to your breath, place your bare feet on the earth, and feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Remind yourself of every obstacle you have surmounted and know that you have the ability to meet everything that is ahead, both the joyous experiences and the challenging ones, with courage and grace. Exhale your fear and release the desire to control the outcome. There are so many possibilities beyond what you can even imagine. Stay open, in both heart and mind.  

Sunday 2/2 – Otter Reversed – If you find yourself getting caught up in jealousy or competitive tendencies today, take a step back. You only cheat yourself of connection when you put yourself in opposition to others. Instead, do the most counter-intuitive thing and help someone else succeed. It might feel strange at first, especially if you’re in a lack mentality, but this simple act will bring you back to the truth that we rise by lifting others up and that there’s more than enough (money, love, opportunity, etc.) to go around. You might even make a connection that ends up bringing some much-needed nourishment and joy into your life as well. So don’t be stingy with your support, because you get what you give.

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 January 13th, 2020

Monday 1/13 – Prairie Dog Reversed  – This week begins with a cautionary note about letting ourselves get run down and the tendency to blame our lack of self-care on others. It’s no one else’s responsibility but our own to take care of our needs and, if we find ourselves feeling irritated because we’re overtired, hungry, cold, or overstimulated, it’s up to us to grab the reins and put our wellness first. If that means we need to take a big pause and rearrange some things in our life to make room for ourselves, then that’s exactly what needs to happen. No pointing fingers today. Roll up your sleeves and get to work taking care of you.

Tuesday 1/14 – Snake - When you find yourself met with challenging circumstances, you can resist them and fall into despair, or you can embrace what life is bringing you and find a way to make something meaningful out of it. While the second route isn’t always easy, it is the path that ultimately leads to less suffering and a much cleaner healing process. Channel any difficult feelings today into art, into movement, or into a passion project. So much the better if it’s something that can lift others up along the way, too. Life is so shaped by the perspective you choose. Choose to look for the beauty, and when you have trouble finding it, be the one to create it.

Wednesday 1/15 – Spider Reversed – The messages around creating continue today with Spider encouraging us to use expression as a means of healing. Particularly if you’ve been feeling jealous of others or find yourself inclined to lash out at those around you, it’s important to be intentional about how you work with your own energy. If making art doesn’t speak to you, you can practice channeling the energy in more abstract ways such as intuitive movement or vocalizing. Whatever you do, just make sure you discharge the heavy energy so that it doesn’t end up eating you up from the inside out.

Thursday 1/16 – Rabbit  – If fears start to crop up today, hold them gently. Honor the validity of your experience, but also question whether or not the stories that are playing through your mind are true with a capital T. We have control over so very little in this lifetime, and while that awareness can be disconcerting, it can also be exciting if we allow it to be. Stay rooted in the present and open to the infinite possibilities that the future holds. Things may even turn out to be much more magical than you could have ever imagined. 

Friday 1/17 – Dolphin Reversed  – With some of the heavier energies that seem to be moving through during this week, working with the breath can serve as a powerful practice for grounding and healing. Ujjayi breath in particular, which involves breathing in and out through the nose with a slightly constricted throat to make a sound like ocean waves, can both calm the mind and soothe the nervous system. If that feels unapproachable for any reason, simply practicing breath awareness can support a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit, and help you regain a sense of centeredness and clarity. 

Saturday 1/18 – Bat  – Change is in the air and the shifts that are taking place are feeling exciting today. Embracing this new phase may mean allowing anything that’s no longer serving to fall away. That’s okay. Better things are ahead and sometimes stepping into our full power means letting go of anything that has kept us small. This can include relationship dynamics that drain us, habits that disempower us, or ways of thinking that limit our sense of possibility. Trust that, for everything that leaves your life at this time, something wonderful will come pouring in.

Sunday 1/19 – Opossum Reversed – If you burrowed into a hole because you were feeling attacked or overwhelmed, it might be time to take a peek above ground again. Defense mechanisms are not meant to be a permanent solution, but rather a strategy to be employed until a threat passes. No more playing dead or hiding out in your life. Whether that means in relationships, your work life, or simply with the way you show up for yourself. If you have to step back in slowly, then do so, but step back in.

Weekly Forecast Monday January 6th, 2020

Monday 1/6 – Blue Heron  – Self reflection and insight practices can make a world of difference in how we come to understand ourselves, the world around us, and what choices best serve both as we move through our days. The tricky part is creating space for them. Carve out some time today, whether that’s 5 minutes or a few hours, to allow your mind to settle. This may include stillness in the form of a seated meditation or breath practice or perhaps you find that your mind quiets best when you’re engaged in a meditative physical practice like working with clay or walking out in nature. Whatever you do, make sure you turn the volume down on everything else in your life for a little bit, so that very wise inner voice of yours can come through. 

Tuesday 1/7 – Otter Reversed - Community over competition is the name of the game today. Some of our deepest healing in this life comes through relationships and we limit the depth of connection we are able to have with others if we’re constantly making others our opponents. Instead, try lifting someone else up around you. You might be surprised by how much nourishment you receive from helping someone else out. Lighting someone else’s flame will never diminish your own light, but will definitely make the world a whole lot brighter for all of us.

Wednesday 1/8 – Whale Reversed – It’s time to release any fears you have been carrying around allowing yourself to be fully seen and received by the world. You have a unique set of gifts that are meant to be shared. No, not everyone will love what you have to offer, but there will be those that will and that’s how you’ll know who your people are. No more playing wallflower. Show up as authentically as possible so that the opportunities and connections that are meant for you can find you.

Thursday 1/9 – Horse  – Your work today is centered around connecting with your power sources. For most of us, this will mean working at the edges of our comfort zones to break through any self-imposed limitations and to remind ourselves that we are capable of so much more than we think. For many of us, this may also mean distancing ourselves from anything that leaves us feeling disempowered--whether that’s a relationship, a habit, or a story we’ve been telling ourselves. If you’ve been struggling with confidence and need a little extra support, try connecting with a powerful image that resonates the type of frequency you would like to emit. It could be an animal totem, a celestial body, or even a plant spirit. When you feel yourself slipping into fear and doubt, bring that image to mind and allow it to infuse you with inspiration and courage. 

Friday 1/10 – Swan  – The messages about connecting with our truth and power continue today with Swan encouraging us to embrace and celebrate all of who we are. Swan represents grace and nothing is more graceful than someone who moves with loving embodiment. If this is something that doesn’t come easily for you, it might be worth investing some time in practices that help you tap into your own experience as well as your gifts. Intuitive movement. Free association writing. Sensuality and pleasure practices. These are all wonderful ways of getting in touch with what feels most natural to you and learning how to express yourself without apology. Go ahead and dive in. You may just find that you fall in love with yourself along the way.

Saturday 1/11 – Dragonfly  – Things are becoming clearer today and you may start seeing truths, both about your inner world and about the world around you. It is very likely that you may come to a deeper understanding of your purpose and what work you are here to do on this planet at this unique time in history. Take notes about what messages you receive today. They may serve as a very trusty roadmap as you continue to journey forward.

Sunday 1/12 – Owl Reversed – When Owl shows up in the reversed position, it’s usually a sign that we’ve been lying to ourselves on some level. These could be little white lies or major deceptions, but either way, it’s time to pull the curtain back and get really honest about how we’re showing up in the world, for others, for our purpose, and for ourselves. If you uncover a hard truth, be gentle with yourself. We are all so very human and embracing our shadows compassionately is just as vital as embracing our light. Besides, the more honest we can be with ourselves, the easier it will be to see the world around us more clearly as well.

Weekly Forecast Monday December 30th, 2019

Monday 12/30 – Turtle Reversed  – As we close out the calendar year, it’s important to take some time to tune deeply into yourself, your wild nature or instincts, and your intuition. One of the best ways to do this is to spend some time in nature alone, but if that’s not accessible to you, remember that you are a part of nature as well and that your heartbeat follows the same rhythm of all life. Connect with your own pulse, your own breath, and allow yourself to feel how very connected you are to everything. This will help you have clarity as you close this one chapter and open another. 

Tuesday 12/31 – Rabbitt - On this last day of the year, as you look into the future and a whole new year of possibility, be sure to hold your fears gently. There is no need to pretend that you have no concerns or worries at all. It is so very human to want and wish for things and this sort of attachment to our desires is where fears are born. Rather than feeding them with circular thoughts or visions of the worst coming to be, acknowledge that they are shining a light on what it is you value. Make commitments to yourself to do your very best to create the life you wish. And then surrender to the truth that we have control over very little in this wild and mysterious life. Let that knowing inspire wonder and awe, rather than constriction and anxiety, and you’ll be starting the new year off ready to let life amaze you. 

Wednesday 1/1 – Butterfly – There’s no better time than the first day of a new year to check in on where you are in your transformation process. In all honesty, we’re all in multiple ongoing transformation processes all the time if we’re really stepping up to the plate and working on our own growth and expansion. Spend some time today getting clear about where you’ve been, where you’re truly at in this very moment, and where you’d like to see yourself go in the year ahead. Drop judgement at the door and honor wherever you’re at right now. It’s absolutely perfect and aligned with divine timing. And don’t forget to leave some room in your planning and goal-setting for things to emerge that are even more incredible than you can yet imagine. 

Thursday 1/2 – Whale Reversed  – Release any part of you that feels tempted to stifle your own voice or to hide your light. Letting your most authentic self be seen is the only way to call in both the opportunities and the soul connections that are truly meant for you. This year ahead will be one in which you create much deeper alignment in all areas of your life and it begins now with brave vulnerability. Speak your truth. Share your gifts. The ones who are meant to receive them will find you. 

Friday 1/3 – Wild Boar Reversed  – Watch out for a tendency to point fingers and blame shift today. More often than not, when we’re feeling really defensive or a strong urge to attack someone else, it’s usually because, deep down, we know we bear some of the responsibility too and are trying to sidestep accountability. Instead, look within and be honest with yourself about your part in what’s coming up for you. If you still feel the need to address something with another party, do so, but keep in mind that we are all human and make mistakes and be sure to speak from a place of compassion. No matter how things turn out, keeping your side of the street clean will always help your heart stay light.

Saturday 1/4 – Bat – It’s time to shed old ways of being and to embrace a new version of yourself. During any birth process, both mother and child are born into new lives and identities. No matter which role you find yourself in, the one birthing or the one being birthed (or perhaps even both), approach this new era with a sense of possibility. Allow anything that wants to fall away to do so with ease and step into whatever gifts come with this new incarnation. Yes, change can be a little ungrounding at first, but if you stay present and rooted in trust, it can also be immensely exciting. There’s no need to fear. What lies ahead is far better than anything that’s come before. 

Sunday 1/5 – Badger Reversed – The weekend wraps with a caution against being overly zealous, both in your own personal growth process and in the way you address others about theirs. If you are making changes in your life, do so gently. Even if it is time for you to let go of certain ways of being, there’s no need to reject every bit of who you were or have been. Each part played a role in getting you to where you are today, so be sure to honor that. Also, no matter how much you want others to join you on the journey, people must make those choices for themselves. Rather than prosthelytizing or telling others what they should be doing differently, lead by example and let those around you get inspired to make their own shifts. Besides, you can’t really do your own personal work very thoroughly if you’re constantly getting tangled up in other people’s business. Focus on creating a life that makes you feel nourished and happy. That’s how you’ll have the most positive impact on those around you.

Weekly Forecast Monday December 23rd, 2019

Monday 12/23 – Crow  – We may officially be moving towards longer, brighter days, but we are still in the midst of winter and a season of shadow. This is the time to go inward, to explore the parts of yourself that usually stay tucked away. If you’re not sure where to start, begin by looking at the things that most trigger you, whether that shows up in the form of deep rage, overwhelming grief, or intense judgement. If none of that sounds like a walk in the park, you’re right; shadowwork rarely feels warm and fuzzy. But this is where some of the most powerful growth and healing lies. So roll up your sleeves, take a deep breath, and take those first courageous steps towards deepening your own self-awareness.

Tuesday 12/24 – Raven Reversed - Have you forgotten to see the magic in the world around you and also within yourself? It’s time to remember. To notice the synchronicities that are constantly guiding you. To honor the power you have to create what you wish to in the world. If you’ve been feeling overburdened and find yourself dropping into a sense of helplessness, resist! Even the most challenging experiences in our lives can be channeled and transmuted into something wonderful. It’s all about how you choose to use what’s at your fingertips. 

Wednesday 12/25 – Swan Reversed – It can be oh so tempting to try to tweak and adjust ourselves so that we just might fit into the very narrow boxes that society gives us regarding how we should look and be in the world, but I promise you, it’s a trap and you’re never going to receive any true sense of belonging this way. Not to mention that it’s an absolute energy drain. Instead of trying to fit in, fully embrace the very things that make you different. After all, if you don’t allow your freak flag to fly, how are your fellow freaks going to find you? Go ahead, be the very most authentic version of yourself you can possibly be and you’ll be amazed at the perfect-for-you doors that start flying open.

Thursday 12/26 – Snake Reversed  – There’s no sugar-coating it--sometimes life gives us shit. And when that happens, we have two options; we can stand there feeling awful and disgusted by the pile of shit we’re holding or we can plant some seeds and slap that fertilizer on top and then watch beautiful things grow. This is the power of transmutation and it’s always available to you. You simply have to choose to find the opportunities in your challenges, the beauty in your pain, and then get to work creating something wonderful. You’ve got this. Now get to it.

Friday 12/27 – Alligator Reversed  – We’re almost at the end of the year (and the decade!) and in order to glean all the gifts and lessons from the seasons past, it’s absolutely vital that we slow down and take some time to integrate our experiences. Review the past year (or ten) and be sure to both celebrate your successes as well as learn from your struggles. Doing so will only help you enter this new era a little bit wiser and a whole lot clearer about what direction you want to go next. 

Saturday 12/28 – Beaver Reversed – Even though it might seem counterintuitive, the key to being productive and meeting your goals today is to avoid burning yourself out. While keeping your nose to the grindstone might sound like the best way to get a lot done, it also often drops us into tunnel vision and keeps us from picking up on important cues from our body and environment, so much so that we could end up injuring ourselves on the job or working in entirely the wrong direction. Slow, steady, and mindful is the name of the game today and will take you much farther than the fast-and-furious approach will. 

Sunday 12/29 – Prairie Dog Reversed – Feeling run down is not a sign of weakness and definitely not a signal to push harder. Read that again if you need to. Your spirit may be limitless but your human body is not. Take good care of it and listen to what it’s telling you. Rest is an absolutely vital part of any basic self care practice so set aside some time for a nap, a long hot bath, or any other restorative activities that will help you feel refreshed and replenished. A little downtime today could make all the difference in the week ahead.

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 December 9th, 2019

Monday 12/9 – Ant Reversed  – Patience is less about being willing to wait for something on the horizon and more about focusing on all of the gifts in the present moment. If you’re struggling with a desire to fast forward to whatever is around the corner, see if you can shift into a space of curiosity. What can you learn from your current circumstances? Sometimes the reason we can’t seem to move forward is because there’s some opportunity for growth or expansion that we need to embrace before we’re ready to meet the next phase of our life.

Tuesday 12/10 – Hummingbird Reversed - Investing time in things that bring us joy isn’t selfish or frivolous; it supports our ability to be our best selves and to share our light with the world. Remember that today, especially if you are feeling frustrated, overburdened, or simply disconnected, and do at least one thing that brings you back into a state of wonder and awe. Maybe that means putting yourself in the way of beauty by watching a sunset or spending time taking in an incredible view. Perhaps it’s being of service to others. It could be as simple as just doing something silly and carefree that makes you laugh from deep within your belly. Whatever you do, make sure that you set your troubles down for a bit and remember what a gift this life truly is.

Wednesday 12/11 – Moose Reversed – The call today is to tune into our intrinsic worth and our ability to positively impact the world with our mere presence. This isn’t about finding ways to “earn’ our place in the world but rather about touching into the truth that our existence is a tiny, but vital part of the universal ecosystem. None of us are here by accident and it’s more than okay to take up space, to celebrate yourself, and, in doing so, to give permission to others to do the same.

Thursday 12/12 – Skunk Reversed  – We can be as “perfect” as we wish and still there will be those that will misunderstand or not like us. We don’t have control over what others think about us and trying to manage other people’s perceptions is an exercise in wasting energy. At the end of the day, what is most important is that you like who you are and that begins with being clear about your values and living with integrity. Let your actions speak for themselves and trust that the ones who are meant for you will see the truth of who you are. 

Friday 12/13 – Buffalo Reversed  – If you are feeling overwhelmed or that the weight upon your shoulders is too much to bear on your own, ask for help. From friends or family. From your community. From Spirit. Reaching out can be a deeply humbling experience but it is one that cracks us open to receive and to experience abundance that we may not have even realized was present in our lives. None of us were meant to navigate this life alone. Be brave with your heart and allow yourself to be supported. 

Saturday 12/14 – Fox – Learning to expand or contract your own energy field is a powerful practice and today, in particular, is a good time to play with bringing your field in more closely. Fox’s coat changes with the seasons so it can blend into its surroundings, both for protection and for stealthiness when hunting. Whether you are trying to move through a social situation without getting tangled up in unpleasant interactions or are simply on a personal mission and don’t want to get sidelined by someone with their own agenda, try your best to stay low profile today. You might find that being able to be a wallflower (when it suits you) can have its perks.

Sunday 12/15 – Eagle – Connecting with Spirit isn’t only about staring into the skies and seeking answers from beyond. It is often about tuning deeply into our own hearts, grounding into our own experience, and cultivating trust in ourselves. We are, after all, living embodiments of the divine and therefore always have access to the love and wisdom of Source. Take some time today to really be present with yourself and listen to that quiet voice within. If it has a message to share, listen. If it makes a request, meet it, in whatever way you can. This relationship, above all others, is what will nourish and support you most throughout your days. Invest in it lovingly.

Weekly Forecast Monday December 2nd, 2019

Monday 12/2 – Weasel  – The week opens up with a call to bring our energy fields in more tightly around us so that we may move through the world and whatever circumstances are coming up in our lives currently without making big waves. This can be especially useful in complicated social situations that we don’t wish to get tangled up in, but still offer opportunities for learning and growth. The key here is to focus on maintaining a grounded connection to our own energy while observing what’s happening around us with as little attachment to the outcome as possible. This allows heightened perception and clarity and can help us see through any confusion and into the truth of the matters at hand.

Tuesday 12/3 – Bat - Embrace this period of rebirth and start setting your sights on what you wish to step into in the season ahead. This may involve some shedding and possibly some growing pains or contractions as well, but trust that this is a natural part of the process and stay committed to your higher visions and goals. Ask yourself where you can more fully embody authenticity and a grounded sense of empowerment and then roll up your sleeves. Growth isn’t always linear so be gentle with yourself as you navigate your way into a new way of being or offering your gifts to the world.  

Wednesday 12/4 – Deer – The message of deer is a simple but profound one: Love will always be the most powerful force. Like water against rocks, it can soften and smooth even the most jagged energies, and often does so more gracefully than the force of fear or anger. Whether you’re dealing with yourself or others, the best approach today is gentleness. This may look like compassionate boundary-setting, dropping into self-care practices, or simply reconnecting with your heart-center and making choices based on the wisdom that emanates from within. 

Thursday 12/5 – Lizard – Your dreams are the wellspring of your ability to create a life that feels truly nourishing to you, which is why it’s so very important to set aside space for both waking visions and those that come to us when we sleep. Carve out a little time today to dream, whether that means daydreaming, actively brainstorming about what you’d like to manifest and ways to invest in those desires, sitting in meditation, or simply catching some much-needed rest and allowing messages to come through your subconscious. Make sure to stay open to invitations from Spirit as well. Sometimes our destinies are even more magical than we could ever design with our logical minds. 

Friday 12/6 – Otter  – Say yes to any opportunities for partaking in healing, heart-centered gatherings today. It can be easy to slip into the hustle bustle of the season or to lean into over-indulgence and escapism at this time of year, but there’s a special medicine to be found in being present and intentional in our connections with loved ones. If you haven’t received any invites, take the initiative and host a collection of your nearest and dearest in a way that encourages you and yours to slow down, to savor the moments you have with one another, and to do your best to lift each other up. These gifts are far more nourishing than anything that can be wrapped up in paper and a bow.

Saturday 12/7 – Lynx – If you feel called to name something you see in another person, especially if it has the potential to feel like a call-out, pause and ask yourself if what you wish to say will truly serve. It is totally possible to honor your truth and knowing without speaking it out loud. If you feel that what you have to say will actually support the best interests and healing of all involved, then make sure that you share what’s on your heart with as much love and compassion as possible. If, after reflection, you realize that naming it aloud is unnecessary or likely to prove unproductive, you can still release the energy by writing your words down and then burning or burying them. Sometimes these simple rituals can provide powerful shifts within us that ultimately impact everything around us as well.

Sunday 12/8 – Eagle – It is always a good time to come back to our connection with Spirit and with our heart, but today there is a particular call to do so. If you’ve found yourself getting caught up in frenetic holiday energy or the stress of shopping/traveling/over-extending yourself, grounding back in to your values and what truly matters most to you in this life will pave the way for more peace and joy. How you do this will be as unique as your own fingerprint. It could mean time out in nature, gathering with a spiritual community, or a simple ritual that helps you feel connected to something greater than yourself. Whatever you do, make sure that your practice feels authentic and truly nourishing to your soul.

Weekly Forecast Monday November 25th, 2019

Monday 11/25 – Alligator  – We’re cruising into the last month of not only the year but the decade! Take some time out today to look back on the seasons you’ve come through, and honor the experiences that have brought you to today. Both the challenges and the victories have contributed to the development of your soul and by reflecting on the gifts in each, we can deepen our wisdom, expand our perspective, and cultivate a more grounded sense of peace around who we are and who we’ve been, as well as clarity around who we wish to become. 

Tuesday 11/26 – Otter Reversed - If you feel yourself getting wrapped up in jealousy or competitive tendencies today, take a beat. We are so much more interconnected than we usually realize and it’s important to remember that the success and well-being of one really does support the wellbeing of all. When we are able to see this, we can truly feel that celebrating and supporting those around us will always ultimately create a positive energy loop that comes back around to elevate us as well. Also, don’t forget to notice what triggers envy inside of you and use that as information about where you are feeling unexpressed. You don’t need to take away from someone else, but you can and should get to work creating your own unique version. You may just end up adding some much-needed light to the world in the process!

Wednesday 11/27 – Wolf – Keep your eyes open for teachers today and know that they don’t always come in the form we expect! You may have an experience with a wise soul that offers you some sage advice or guidance, but your teachers can also come in the form of challenging characters in your life, personal experiences, triggers or intense emotional responses that rise up to show us where we have healing to do, and, of course, nature in all of its intricacy and beauty. The more you can view each experience as a powerful opportunity to learn, the more you’ll grow and expand, and the less you’ll find yourself getting caught up in frustration when things don’t go exactly your way. When we drop into curiosity and wonder, judgement and fear have a tendency to take a backseat. What greater gift could you give yourself? 

Thursday 11/28 – Mouse Reversed – Speaking of judgement, it’s important today to make the distinction between judgement and discernment. We can decide that something is not right for us or no longer serves our vision for our life without making that thing “bad” or “wrong”, whether it’s a job, a person, or simply a way of being. Letting go of things with love in our hearts is a skill and one that is worth developing. Blame and shame only serve to cover over our own shadows and blindspots and self-righteousness has a way of putting us atop a very tall pedestal--with only one way to go from there. Do yourself the favor of remaining rooted in compassion as you make choices about what you wish to clear from your life. Any endings that need to take place will feel much cleaner energetically and you’ll be more able to focus on what’s ahead rather than continuing to invest negative energy into something that’s no longer meant for you anyhow. 

Friday 11/29 – Buffalo Reversed  – If you’ve got a little bit of the post-holiday blues today, bring it back to the simple pleasures. It’s usually not the big, flashy things that actually bring us the most joy and the experience of gratitude is much more about tapping into the warm and often humbling feeling we receive when we truly connect with the ways we are blessed. If your gratitude is happening mostly in your head or involves a lot of “shoulds”, it’s time to shift your approach. Focus on one or two tiny things that actually drop you into your heart space. It could be as small as the feeling of sunlight on your skin or a moment of connection with a loved one. Allow yourself to memorize that feeling and come back to it as often as you need to. 

Saturday 11/30 – Wild Boar – If there’s an issue you’ve been side-stepping, either with yourself or another person, it’s time to address it head on. You don’t have to be aggressive, and honestly, it’s probably best if you’re not, but being direct and clear is absolutely called for today. It might be scary or uncomfortable at first to name the tension that’s been present, but once you’ve broken through that initial resistance, you’ll feel so much freer. So say what you need to say; just make sure it’s said from a place of love.

Sunday 12/1 – Squirrel – Squirrel medicine is all about gathering and preparedness and today offers a wonderful opportunity to take some time to assess what your resources are and what you’ll need to close out this year feeling your best. This may be a matter of doing some financial planning or maybe it’s more about figuring out how to take care of your energy reserves during a very busy time of the year. Either way, a little planning today can go a long way towards supporting your wellbeing in the season ahead so get in touch with your inner nerd, dig into your calendars and spreadsheets, and consider it an investment in yourself, because it absolutely is.

Weekly Forecast Monday November 18th, 2019

Monday 11/18 – Ant Reversed  – We’re in the tail end of the retrograde so it’s very likely that we’re still experiencing delays and setbacks at the beginning of the week. Don’t fret and definitely don’t try to force things to move along any faster. Patience isn’t just a virtue, it can also be a practice in searching for opportunities in the in-between times, the redirections, and the stall outs. If you’re stuck in one place, it most likely means that there’s a gift there that you haven’t discovered yet. Instead of working yourself into a frustrated frenzy, try approaching the present moment with curiosity and wonder. Sometimes divine timing shows up in disguise and what initially felt like a scheduling disaster turns out to be a blessing.

Tuesday 11/19 – Alligator Reversed - Slow down and take some time to take stock of both where you are and where you’ve been. When we speed through life we miss the beauty of the landscape flying by. We also miss the lessons that come from intentionally integrating our experiences. Wisdom doesn’t come from the number of years we’ve been here in this body; it comes from sitting with our successes and our failures, being honest with ourselves about our gifts and our struggles, and continuously reorienting with the help of our internal compass. This requires moments of stillness and also the courage to be with ourselves, but the more we actively undertake our own growth, the gentler the lessons tend to be as time goes on. 

Wednesday 11/20 – Antelope – The questions to ask yourself (as many times as you need to) today are: What is the next right step? What most serves? Me? My community? The world? And then allow the answers to guide you into inspired action. If the answers don’t arrive, make the move that you feel in your heart to be right, and then check in. Rinse and repeat. Today is not a day for sitting in indecision and sometimes the only way to know whether something is a fit or not is to simply try it. Let go of any need for perfection. Be willing to make mistakes and humbly recalibrate as necessary. No venture can ever be a failure so long as you learn something from it.

Thursday 11/21 – Elk Reversed – Don’t underestimate the importance of pace. Too fast and furious and we burn ourselves out before we ever make it to the finish line. Too slow and the result is essentially the same, though we may have saved ourselves some energy. Balance is the key. Figure out what’s most important to you, clear away or deprioritize everything else, and then make a plan that allows for consistent and sustainable efforts towards your goals. It’s a surefire recipe for success.

Friday 11/22 – Buffalo  – The point of prayer is not to receive everything we ask for exactly the way we want it; it’s to humble ourselves in a way that opens us up to the abundance that already surrounds us. Find the places within where you’re gripping so very tightly and then slowly surrender. Sometimes when we let go of what we thought we wanted, we get what we actually needed, and often in the most unexpected of ways. Leave room for Spirit to surprise you and you may just experience magic. 

Saturday 11/23 – Opossum Reversed – There are times when it makes sense to “play dead” so to speak, but it’s important that we don’t begin to believe our own act. If we hide out or stay inactive too long we can find ourselves tangled up in the tendrils of inertia, wondering why nothing is moving forward in our lives. Where have you been asleep for too long? Our dreams are meant to inspire us into action upon waking, so open your eyes and get to creating the life you envision. No more waiting. The time is now. 

Sunday 10/24 – Frog Reversed – Cleansing our lives of toxins, on all levels, is most certainly important, but if we do so from a place of fear we’re only trading one pollutant for another. Stress is just as toxic to the body as chemicals or processed foods and sometimes the most healing thing we can do is to simply cut ourselves a little slack. Let your hair down today and maybe even indulge a little. Focus on letting go of guilt and the “shoulds” and embrace a carefree spirit. You might even find that the energy with which you consume certain things you once thought were toxic was actually more the culprit than the thing you were avoiding. Either way, a little lightheartedness and pleasure can go a long way today, so gift yourself a little bit of both.

Weekly Forecast Monday November 4th, 2019

Monday 11/4 – Weasel Reversed  – The week begins with a message from Weasel asking us to be more mindful of what lies beneath our words and our actions. Even subtle forms of manipulation can lead into karmic cycles in which we’ve made an agreement without realizing it. Transparency and remaining rooted in integrity are the keys to avoiding energetic entanglements and misunderstandings. Being direct about your intentions with others honors their free will and is a powerful practice of vulnerable authenticity.

Tuesday 11/5 – Turtle - Turtle showed up in last week’s spread as well and it appears that we’re still in a period of needing extra grounding, and if possible, time spent specifically connecting with nature. This makes sense, in particular, with Mercury currently in retrograde, heightening the potential for miscommunications and mishaps. If you don’t have the opportunity to spend time outside, connect with an indoor plant or sunlight coming through your windows. And of course don’t forget that you are a part of nature, too. Your own breath can connect you to the rhythm of all of life. Tune into that frequency and allow it to simultaneously ground and expand you.

Wednesday 11/6 – Blue Heron – The call to center ourselves continues into the middle of the week as Blue Heron asks us to practice stillness. Meditation, mindfulness practices, and time spent unplugged and away from unnecessary stimulation can support a much deeper drop into our inner spaces and bring clarity around the state of our hearts and spirits. Even just taking time during the first few moments after waking to simply be present with yourself, before the hustle begins, can go a long way towards cultivating a more intimate relationship with yourself and empowering you to move through the hours and days ahead with more self-awareness and peace. 

Thursday 11/7 – Spider – Creative expression is one of the most potent healers and today is a beautiful time to pour your heart and soul into a project. It could be an impromptu art session or some dedicated space in your day to flesh out a venture you’ve already been working on, so long as you are being truly lit up by the experience. Stay present and curious, release any expectations, and simply allow whatever wishes to come forth to flow. You might even be surprised by what makes its way through.

Friday 11/8 – Prairie Dog Reversed  – You may find that you are feeling depleted or run down today, and as tempting as it might be to push through a little bit more work or to show up for social engagements, listen to your body and take a break. Our spirits may be infinite but our bodies have their limitations and it’s important that we honor them. Do your best to carve out time to rest today or this evening so that you can continue to show up and say yes to the things that matter most to you.

Saturday 11/9 – Mountain Lion – What is your relationship with the concept of leadership? Does it inspire and excite you? Or do you find yourself recoiling at the thought of being sought out for guidance and support? It’s important to remember that leadership doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes it’s standing up, taking charge, and creating organization amidst chaos, but more often than not, it’s more subtle. Seeing and encouraging people’s gifts, elevating the community around you by being a living example of integrity, and making sacrifices for the good of the whole are all marks of an exceptional leader. Where in your life do you already show up as a model for those around you? Where is there room for you to step further into your own power in order to empower others? These are the questions to ask yourself today.

Sunday 10/10 – Rabbit Reversed – The task for today is to find balance in the way that we hold our fears. Neither denying them completely nor steeping ourselves in terror is healthy. The middle way of acknowledging, attending to, and ultimately releasing our fears is what will create the most freedom and expansion in our lives. If you need to create a practice to support yourself then do so! Writing your fears down on paper to burn, blowing them into flowers, sticks, or stones and offering them up to a stream or the ocean to be carried away, or simply transmuting your worries into art are all beautiful ways of surrendering to the magic and mystery of life. Release what’s not serving you as many times as you need until you can once again breathe with ease.

Weekly Forecast Monday October 28th, 2019

Monday 10/28 – Lynx  – Pay close attention to your visions, subtle senses, and gut feelings today. Trust your inner knowing and allow it to guide you, particularly if you are navigating a challenging or delicate situation. If you find yourself receiving strong intuitive messages about someone else, there’s no need to point fingers or call anyone out, but certainly honor the truth of what you feel and take care of yourself accordingly. 

Tuesday 10/29 – Dog Reversed - Every relationship has an exchange dynamic that ebbs and flows across time. Today offers a ripe opportunity to examine how your relationships are feeling and whether or not the energy is flowing evenly and in a way that supports all parties. Have you been giving to the point of depletion? Or have you been receiving abundantly from those around you and now find yourself in a position to give back? Don’t forget to include your relationship with yourself in this review as well! Honoring your own needs, boundaries, and gifts are a vital part of developing your ability to do the same for others, so make sure that your relationship with yourself is a good model for the types of relationships you’d like to invite into your life!

Wednesday 10/30 – Elk Reversed – Feeling like you’re stretched a bit too thin? Or that you’ve been running, running, running yourself right into the ground? It’s always important to check in with our bodies and spirits to see how our pace is impacting our wellbeing, but it’s particularly important at this time of year when so many of us have a tendency to burn the candle at both ends. There’s no need to bring everything to a halt, but it is important to make sure that your lifestyle is one that is sustainable and supports your ability to be healthy on all levels. It’s hard to enjoy crossing a finish line if you’re completely broken down when you get there so make any adjustments necessary, whether that’s shuffling your schedule or letting go of a few commitments, to ensure that you can not only have enough steam to meet your goals, but to be happy and healthy before/during/after as well!

Thursday 10/31 – Turtle – Take some time to ground today. With Scorpio season in full effect, the new moon energies from Sunday still lingering, and the thinning of the veil, it’s extra important that we keep our feet on the ground, even if our spirits are soaring about. Nature is your ally always, but today especially. Put your bare feet on the earth, work with plants or clay, let the sunlight kiss your skin, lay in a soft patch of grass. The more you tap into your connection with the elements, the easier it will be to navigate the waves of emotion that often rise and fall during this time of year. 

Friday 11/1 – Wild Boar  – No more shying away from the issues that matter! Whether it’s an challenge cropping up in a relationship dynamic with someone else or something that is between you and yourself, it’s time to confront things head on. Face your fears. Speak your truth. And do it all with a spirit of love and compassion. If you’re concerned that the interaction could get explosive, be sure to release any charge around the issue through writing, movement, or sound before addressing it. And remember that being honest will never cause you to lose something that was truly yours.

Saturday 11/2 – Blue Heron Reversed – Self-reflection is incredibly valuable but, like anything in life, it must be undertaken with a balanced approach. There’s no point in sitting endlessly on the meditation cushion if we never apply our insights to our day to day experiences. Don’t get so caught up in trying to attain perfection or enlightenment that you become too paralyzed to take action for fear of making a mistake. Even so-called “failure” gives the gift of growth, wisdom, and deeper compassion. Live a fully embodied life and let every experience offer a lesson.

Sunday 10/27 – Snake Reversed – It’s time to stop keeping your gifts all bottled up inside. Not only will it lead to stuck or stagnant energy in your own physical and energetic bodies, it does a disservice to the world around you. You were put here on this earth at the particular time in history because you have something unique to offer that is needed and no one else can give your gifts to the world except you. Share who you are authentically, bravely, and without apology. The world needs more people shining their light and living from the truth of their heart. Be one of those people.

Weekly Forecast Monday October 21st, 2019

Monday 10/21 – Coyote  – Watch out for a tendency to take yourself too seriously today. Sooner or later, we all trip over our own feet, and the more we can carry ourselves with humility and a sense of humor, the easier it will be to not only recover from our missteps, but to grow from them as well. So take a deep breath and laugh at your own humanness. You may even notice that when you drop the defensiveness and self-importance, people actually respect you more.

Tuesday 10/22 – Raven - Magic is always available to you if you only choose to tap into it, but we’re currently moving through a season where the veil is especially thin. This doesn’t have to be seen as a spooky phenomenon, but instead a very special opportunity to connect with those that are no longer with us. Maybe that means asking for support and guidance from a loved one who has passed. Perhaps it looks like connecting with your lineage and ancestors that you may have never even met. It could be as simple as intentionally opening up to messages from spirit guides. Don’t be afraid to connect with the other side. As long as your intentions are pure and loving, the energies you call in will be as well.

Wednesday 10/23 – Elk Reversed – Take some time today to check in with your energy levels and your commitments. Do you have enough reserves to navigate the season ahead without running yourself into the ground? If not, you might consider shifting things in your calendar around or even removing some tasks altogether. You’ll be much more able to back out of or rearrange a commitment gracefully if you do so with fair notice and most people will respect your honesty and consideration. For anyone who doesn’t, just remind yourself that you’re modeling healthy boundaries by taking care of your wellbeing.

Thursday 10/24 – Frog – When Frog shows up in the spread it’s always a reminder of the importance of periodic cleansing. This could mean a review and revamp of your diet, your media habits, thought patterns, or even the people you surround yourself with. Notice what elevates your body and spirit, what tends to leave you feeling drained, and make the appropriate adjustments accordingly. Little shifts can lead to powerfully positive changes so don’t be afraid to step away from anything that isn’t helping you become the very best version of yourself. 

Friday 10/25 – Eagle  – Spirit can speak to you in so many different ways. Open yourself up today to receive signs--from strangers, through synchronicities, from nature, and even subtle feelings or visions. Ask for guidance and then notice what happens next. The more you listen for and honor the messages that show up, the more you’ll notice that absolutely everything is conspiring to support you.

Saturday 10/26 – Mouse – Discernment and paying attention to the details is the name of the game today. Review all the fine print and tune into your spidey senses. If something feels off, hold on making any decisions until you feel confident that you have full awareness of what’s at stake. Also, don’t be afraid to pass up any opportunities that don’t feel fully in alignment with your values and visions. Trying to force a fit often leads to regret down the line so be patient and trust that when it’s right, you’ll know. 

Sunday 10/27 – Spider Reversed – You may find yourself getting mired in jealousy or drama as the weekend comes to a close. If you notice these impulses coming up today, dig a little deeper and find out what is asking to be expressed. Are there parts of yourself that you’ve been keeping small? Is there a project or dream that you’ve been too afraid to undertake? Envy simply holds a mirror up to our unmet needs and desires, so use these signals as information and then get to work on your own healing by creating something that is authentic and uniquely yours.

Weekly Forecast Monday October 14th, 2019

Monday 10/14 – Opossum  – Sometimes when we’re experiencing a lot of resistance, whether that’s in a relationship dynamic or a passion project, the best thing we can do is to take a big step back. Instead of using more force, try giving the situation some space and stay open to the possibility that the issue could resolve without you actively engaging. Even if further attention from you is required, you’ll be much more able to access creative solutions once you’ve had a chance to outlet any charge around the situation and come back to your center. 

Tuesday 10/15 – Spider - Creativity is a powerful healer, whether you choose to share your creations with the world or not. The act of expressing ourselves authentically and transmuting our intangible experiences into something that can be seen, felt, or heard, if only by our own senses, allows us to move through the world in a more empowered way and also more gently. So don’t hold anything in today. Pour it out onto a canvas, into song, into movement, or any other format that feels true for you. Don’t worry about the product. What’s most important is your own catharsis.

Wednesday 10/16 – Owl – Just because something can’t be seen doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Listen closely to your more subtle senses. The chills that show up on your skin. The hairs that raise on your arm. That feeling in your gut or your chest. The vision that flashes through your mind momentarily. It’s not about needing to know exactly what these things mean in a literal way, but more about noticing that your intuition is speaking to you through your body and cultivating a relationship with these capacities. The more deeply you listen, the more you’ll come to understand your own unique intuitive gifts. 

Thursday 10/17 – Black Panther – Knowing that you actually have control over very little in your life can either be stress-inducing or a deep relief--the choice is up to you, but you’re much more likely to enjoy the ride if you surrender and allow the uncertainty to be exhilarating. In fact, you could even decide to treat your entire day like a game, approaching obstacles as challenges designed to keep you engaged and inspire creativity. If you’re having a hard time finding the fun in the detours, at the very least try your best to trust that they’re guiding you to the exact place you’re meant to be.

Friday 10/18 – Crow  – If you’ve been stuck in a loop with certain habits or behaviors that you know aren’t serving you, the key to breaking the cycle might be a little more compassion for yourself. It sounds counterintuitive but beating ourselves up rarely creates lasting shift. Instead of trying to use shame as an agent of change, get curious about the motivations beneath your actions. Once you can find the gift in the experience, you’ll be able to redirect and find what it is you’re truly seeking through healthier channels. 

Saturday 10/19 – Eagle Reversed – When we start to feel disconnected or lost, that’s a sign that it’s time to invest in our relationship with Spirit. What that looks like will be unique to each person. For some it might mean prayer. For others, time out in nature or connecting with uplifting community. Whatever you need to do to remind yourself that you are here for a reason and that you are not alone, go do it. We all need a little infusion of love and hope from time to time and it’s up to us to get out there and find what we need.

Sunday 10/20 – Raven – Magic is everywhere. Whether or not we see it is really a matter of perspective. Remember the things that brought you the most excitement and joy as a child. More often than not, it’s the simplest experiences that are the most nourishing. Open yourself up to beauty and awe today. And don’t forget that your words are magic, too. Be mindful of what spells you cast when you speak. What you say, both out loud and internally, has the power to shape your world. Make sure that you’re creating something that lights you up.

Weekly Forecast Monday October 7th, 2019

Monday 10/7 – Wolf  – If you open your eyes and heart to receive, absolutely everything can be your teacher today. From wise souls that cross your path, even for the briefest of moments, to challenging experiences and relationship dynamics. Approach everything with the curiosity of a child today and mine each moment for soul nourishment and growth. 

Tuesday 10/8 – Moose - Don’t be afraid to toot your own horn today. Better yet, be bold and celebrate your strengths and accomplishments with enthusiasm. Not only is it important for your own sense of self esteem, it will also remind others around you that it’s more than okay to let your light shine as brightly as it will. Just keep your feet on the ground and humility in your heart and your grounded confidence and self-love will lift everyone else right up with you.

Wednesday 10/9 – Bat – You’re moving into a new phase today in the way you feel about and approach life and the opportunities it brings you. This is a beautiful day to embrace changes, both external and internal, and to shed shed shed anything that’s been holding you back from becoming who you’ve always wanted to be. Letting go doesn’t always have to be a mournful experience. Sometimes it feels like freedom. Spread your wings fully today and soar.

Thursday 10/10 – Prairie Dog – We all need the occasional rest day here and there and today is a day to honor your body’s need to recharge. Curl up with blankets and a good book. Sip some soothing herbal teas. Take a nap or maybe two! Especially as we move through the height of cold season, taking time to have moments of external stillness allows our body’s internal healing processes to do their job and a little downtime today could be just the  support you need to stay on your A-game, physically and otherwise.

Friday 10/11 – Grouse  – It can be easy to take it for granted sometimes, but simply living in a human body is such a gift. Remind yourself of that today by really dropping into your sensory experience in whatever way feels good for you. Maybe that means taking in some beautiful sights or visual art. Perhaps it’s lying in a sun puddle or stopping to smell every fragrant flower you come across. For some of us, it looks like listening to music and letting the vibrations inspire movement, internally or externally. It doesn’t really matter how you do it, but make sure to celebrate the unique gifts your vessel offers you and allow those experiences to nourish your spirit on the deepest levels. 

Saturday 10/12 – Dog – Loyalty to our dearest ones is important, but it always has to begin with the ability to be loyal to ourselves. How can you more fully honor your heart today? Where can you listen more closely to your intuition and subtle senses and follow their requests? Is there an area of your life where there’s room to be even more authentic and true to yourself? These are the questions to ask today. It’s not about reaching some endpoint, but instead continuously checking in with that quiet inner voice and finding ways to show it that we are listening and that we care about its murmurings. 

Sunday 10/13 – Buffalo Reversed – If you’ve been feeling a sense of lack, ask Spirit to show you the beauty in your own life. We all go through times where we feel disconnected or struggle to feel gratitude. There’s no need to judge yourself for this, but letting these experiences crack us open is the path to reconnecting with the goodness that is present. Sometimes prayer is as simple as saying “guide me” and then waiting and doing your best to trust, even in your own uncertainty, that none of this is random. These moments, humbling as they can be, often bring us the greatest gifts of our lives. Don’t be afraid to let it all in.
