Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.

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.

North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.

Mockingbird

Mockingbirds are master imitators, and can mimic the calls of many other birds. They're also fearless protectors of their nest, and will attack any bird (no matter how large) to protect their young. Mockingbird's lesson for you today is twofold: to listen to how you might be mimicking others instead of listening to your own true voice; and to examine the value of what you defend. Hmmm?

East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.

Bat

Bat's internal radar is exceptionally attuned, is yours? Because Bat medicine is the medicine of transformation, he is asking you to re-examine your life to determine (using all of your senses) what is worth keeping and what needs to be discarded. For every death there is a rebirth and Bat is here to help you decide what goes and what stays.

South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.

Blue Jay

Blue Jay encourages you to be a little sassy today! If there's something you've been wanting, ask for it. If there's an issue that needs confrontation, don't sweep it under the rug or Blue Jay will drag it back out into the open. One word of caution, though, Blue Jays will eat the young of other birds so be direct, but not destructive.

West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.

Eagle

Eagle soars high enough to see the grand panorama of life, and yet has vision keen enough to spot a fish a mile away. How's your vision? Are you seeing the big picture or are you only concentrating on the fish? Eagle is asking you to take a step back so you can once again see the whole. You've gotten so lost in the trees you've forgotten the forest.
