[CaRP] Your Planetary SpreadScroll down to learn the influence of each Animal Spirit. Click on the images to see larger versions.  Deer If you can imagine Bambi, you can imagine the message Deer brings to you today – a message of sweetness, innocence, and gentle spirit. Be delicate today in your communication with other and with yourself. This is definitely not a time for being critical, mean-spirited, or sarcastic. Just as Deer’s heart can be easily wounded, so can the heart of your friends, co-workers, or family members.  Matters Concerning Your Home (The Moon) Fox Fox medicine represents the ability to blend in. She can change colors to blend with the seasons – becoming almost invisible against a backdrop of snow or foliage. Fox also has an amazing sense of smell that enables her to sniff out dangerous situations. Be like a Fox – street smart and safety savvy – don’t call attention to yourself as today is a day of watch and wait. Matters Concerning Business, Skills and Integrity (Mercury) Bear Bear represents a time of reflection and stillness – a time of entering the inner cave of Self to contemplate life’s challenges. Bear often appears during times of confusion and unrest – those unsettling moments when you turn to everyone you know for answers – everyone except yourself. Go within, ask the hard questions – then listen. Matters Concerning Love (The Venus Influence) Beaver Beaver may be one of the hardest working animals on the planet. Beaver is attuned to both earth and water medicine, and is strongly attached to home and family. Beaver appears in your reading to remind you that sometimes there’s no substitute for hard work. Make a plan, create a solid foundation, then take the next indicated step.  Matters Concerning Hostility, Opposition and Aggression (Mars) Cardinal Wake up! Cardinal is chirping at you – bringing a message of personal power. Stop shrinking from your destiny. Stop pretending that you are less than. If you are unsure of your path, ask Cardinal to fly with you – it’s certain he will help you focus, gain clarity, formulate a plan, become self-assured, and step out into the world with the confidence befitting a person of your power.  Matters of Finance, Acquisition and Wealth (Jupiter) Horse When Horse came back to the Americas, he brought with him the ability to move rapidly from place to place – and it’s this rapid movement that he brings to you today. Get up, get out of the rut you’ve created. Grab Horse’s mane, pull yourself onto his back and let him carry you across the plains of your life. The time for being stuck is over. Matters of the Intellect (Saturn) Squirrel Hoard, hoard, hoard! Squirrel has been a busy fellow, gathering food for the long winter ahead – and he advises you to do the same. Have you set enough money aside to get you through lean times, or do you squander what you earn? We all love a shopping spree, but if Squirrel scurries into your reading, he’s cautioning you to spend a little, but also save a little.
