Welcome to the bold and fiery season of Aries! Not an Aries? That’s okay - this energy may still have an impact on you. Learn more here about how to work with Aries energy, remember that Aries shows up somewhere in your birth chart so this energy lives within you too, and explore how it connects to the planets, the chakras, and tarot.

On our pop up we had a light conversation on spirit animals - an animal that tends to really get your attention but also a life long guide. Additionally, we can call on any of the animas to help us in certain ways. My spirt animal is that of a Hawk. I was going through a time of impatience, wanting more work - really wanting to do more and be more and learn more. I would take a break every day for a tea run (step away from the chaos to recharge my personal batteries), If it was nice, I would take the jeep top down and take the back 2 lane road with trees and a stream to get away from “the city”. I also always took this road home. During this time I would notice a hawk on a telephone wire. At first it was cool to see. But then I was nudged to look more into it. This was also a time when I was learning a lot of new holistic modalities as well. Patience, see the bigger picture- get out of the weeds, know there is more than what you are aware of. This kept reminding me that I need to ride out this part of my course. Fast forward - on point!!! Yesterday as I came home from a long lunch with a friend, I was thinking about this year - full of upcoming milestones - and my personal goals of health and LLC financials (Neptune, Saturn, Aries). I kid you not… Hawk!!! Different road? Different circumstance. I was reminded - get out of the weeds, know there is a bigger picture but to also consider being strategic. On point. Do you know what spirit animals (you can have more than 1) are your guides / constant reminders? Blue heron is another of mine. So lovely. It reminds me of stillness. Stands in the water all day, lifts its arms when ready, casting a shadow on the water, making it so the fish believe it’s dusk - time to rise to the top. Basically, making it lunch time for the heron ACTION: If you don’t know - let’s pull some cards on this thread to see what animal guide may want to say hello….. 👋 P.S. You can learn more about Animal Guides for free - check out the course in the Classroom 😀

Yep - you read that one right… We woke up this morning to the smell of a skunk. My husband reached over and said, “Jen - do you smell that?!” And comically enough, I got excited because our skunk friend is back! (I had totally forgotten about their mating season, which threw us for a loop last year when we couldn’t understand why it kept showing up in our fenced backyard… but here we are again.) Our windows aren’t open, so you can imagine how strong the scent is. That, and I have a sensitive nose. My mind immediately started running through possibilities - was she in our backyard area (it’s fenced but if neighborhood cats can slide in, then a skunk possibly could). Was she startled by our neighborhood cat, SmokeDog, who likes to come up to the window and say hello to my two indoor cats? Or are they just in the backyard foraging for something? We don’t have much to offer other than bird seed. Regardless, I felt like it was time to look into the skunk and learn more about its spiritual connection. Check out these pics for more info, including the root chakra connection, themes of self-reliance, self-defense, and awareness. Sometimes a skunk appearance can be a reminder to step into your own power. Any animal hellos coming in for you over the last few days?
