Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.
Kiwi – You are poised on the cusp of letting go of what’s no longer serving you, you’re just feeling particularly shy and timid about it as yet. Still, the opportunity and potential is right there for you to reach out to, waiting for you take a leap.
The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.
Wild Turkey – Stop trying so hard to focus on finding balance, and instead let it find itself. It’ll do it on its own without your help. Instead, focus on where you want things to go and what you want out of life. Everything else will fall into place.
What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.
Your Bird – You want to enjoy life more than you are currently, and seek to allow more of your life to be tailored to the things you enjoy and want to experience.
Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.
Inca Dove – You are selling yourself short. Work harder to stop listening to that negative inner voice that keeps telling you you’re nothing special.
The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.
Sandhill Crane – You have an extensive and varied amount of knowledge and experience to help support you on your journey. Using this knowledge and experience in your efforts and pursuits is like using “cheat codes” in a video game. It gives you a leg up and allows you to work smarter instead of harder.
The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.
Turkey Vulture – You still feel some resentment over what happened a few summers ago, and sometimes feel like you are still trapped in that cycle even though life has continued on. It’s time to do some work and reflection on those lingering feelings of resentment, and how you might be able to let them go so you can perceive the present situation with more clarity instead of through the lens of that past experience.
Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.
Double-crested Cormorant – Stepping into a spiritual path you tailor just for you takes independence and courage, as well as an unerring focus on your own needs and beliefs. Take some time to reconnect with the intrepid soul of the youth that began this journey in the first place.
A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.
Monk Parakeet – What feels wrong in your home right now? What needs dealt with or repaired? Even if you have to do it a little at a time and enlist help along the way, now is the time to begin dealing with these issues.
Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.
Brown Headed Cowbird – When you ask for help instead of just expecting it to be given, it makes for happier helpers. Know when it’s time to say “no” to doing things on your own and ask others to help you. Doing so allows you more time to do what -you- want with your time and your life.
Message from the Spirit World – Sometimes the benefits of leaning on others to help you go beyond just the help that’s given and the time and energy saved. Sometimes you get to learn new things from them, and other times teach them new things as well.
Message from the Mind’s World – If you hesitate too long, opportunity will pass you by. In the choice between action and inaction, moving toward what you want out of life is always the right answer.
Message from the Physical World – There is more to your spiritual path than thoughts and intentions. Let yourself get outside and into nature more, and as a result the muck of stagnancy will give way to flashes of inspiration. Work on the farm just isn’t cutting it where this need is concerned.
