Animal Totem Energy - Week of June 12, 2011

A-Z Animals

Finally! It's time to move forward! Frog has emerged bringing the energy of immersion into new projects and the impetus to forge ahead with those intentions you've been nurturing for the last many months. There's a new feeling of hope and excitement in the air after long days of frustration. It's a time of transformation, fertility and abundance on every level, so do the happy dance on your way out the door.

Business and career matters will take on new life, so dust off the resume and know that this will be a much better time to refresh the job search, initiate new ideas in your business, or start the new enterprise you've been incubating for so long. The energy right now will support these things, so move quickly, as these windows don't come often and you must take advantage of them when they appear.

This is also a great time to listen to other people as they toss around creative ideas, especially if you don't have any particular direction of your own, as something someone says may be just the thing that you could pursue for your own future. For some time the power of your voice will be strong, as will the ideas and advice of others be more creative and on track than usual. Serendipity will smile on all of us, and you may be given just what you need to know or have in order to be able to move forward into success.

There have been many months of stuck energy, but now we're being given a wonderful opportunity to get out of the mire to the degree that we get engaged with the process. It's also a great time to conduct an internal cleanse to freshen and strengthen your physical self. Drink plenty of water, eat high vibrational foods that look as they did when they came out of the ground, exercise enough so that you're really sleepy when you go to bed. 

It's a time for new beginnings, so get into motion!

Blessings, Val

Animal Totem Energy For the Week of Nov. 28

a-z-animals.com

Caterpillar comes this week to remind us that we're still not ready to show the world our wonderful ideas. The life phase of caterpillar is one of strengthening and preparing, so we find ourselves given more time to clarify, add to, and perfect what we've been working on. (Actually good energy for this time before the holidays when we may be keeping gifts secret for those we love). The energy of caterpillar is quite delicate, so once again, keep your projects and ideas close to your heart and pursue their fulfillment so when you do bring them out into the world, they'll be as perfect as you can make them.

There is also still the possibility of someone actually trying to block our path, so don't just trust without investigation. If you have been keeping up with this blog, you'll remember that this energy of potential sabotage has been going on for awhile, so be patient.

Because caterpillar sheds his skin several times before journeying on to his butterfly stage, he reminds us that in order for new ideas to manifest, old beliefs must be discarded. So, as you're preparing, remember to catch any worn out ideas, plans, goals, or even people that are no longer empowering to you at this time. Anything you keep by you out of fear or sentimentality will only block your creative flow.

Caterpillar focuses on one thing: getting strong so he will have enough energy to go through the great transformation into butterfly. He doesn't scatter his energies, but finds the best, most beneficial foods, and eats his way to strength. Follow caterpillar's example and husband your energies in secret so when the time comes, what you're ready to give to the world will be at its most splendid.

Blessings, Val

Pallas Athena & Juno Help Us Until the End of the Year

While Saturn & Pluto still present us with turning points and challenge all of our relationships, Pallas Athena, the asteroid of wisdom, healing and the arts, and Juno, the asteroid of intimate partnerships, square each other and help us focus in more detail on our deepest and dearest soul relationships. These two asteroids are influencing us now and will continue to do so through the end of this year, which will help to galvanize us in finding ways of creating more love and harmony, greater communication and understanding. Be adventurous and novel in your approach to change and transformation now. Strengthen your purpose and intent to grow within; challenge the status quo, learn from it and chart new territory. Feel the magnificence of how your inner growth facilitates what you'd like to have manifest on the outside. Seek novel ways of saying 'I love you,' sending heartfelt blessings, acts of kindness and compassion to your very special loved one. All of these efforts at deepening your connections give gifts of feeling renewed, invigorated and recommitted to love at the core of your being. That smile of understanding and knowing will follow you everywhere, and others will benefit from your loving radiance. All your other relationships benefit from your enhanced state of being and feeling. Let the music begin.
