The truest of beauty permeates through flesh from the essence of the human soul. You possess the magnetism of beauty. Your essence attracts attention and you often find yourself  the center of attraction. It is empowering.

Change is the one thing constant in our universe. You have a great ability to adapt and make changes in your environment. You also have the ability to make changes within yourself with ease. Your willingness for change has opened your eyes to new possibilities.

Negative

 

Change happens in its own time. Demanding changes from others and yourself is inappropriate and can cause great stress and anger.  Be cautious of your timing.

The bond of a family has been the fortitude of mankind's survival. You possess that fortitude. Families are not always made by blood alone, they are also formed by the bond of souls. Keeping the clan together and creating new members is your objective. You are the glue that keeps them together.

If not for imagination the human species would be extinct. Your ability to transform mental image or concepts into reality is astonishing. You have an uncanny ability to face and resolve difficulties. You are resourceful. 

 

Negative

 

Don’t get caught up in the glory of being able to come up with great ideas. 

Avoid thinking your ideas are always the best. Avoid taking control over every imaginative project. Remember, the imagination works within and is stimulated by its environment. Let others take a chance. Don’t alienate yourself through self-righteousness.

If love is what we all seek you hold the key to it. Love is there for you to experience in all its glory and pain. Be fearless and willing to take the chance and plunge into light of love. Swim in its sweet intoxication.

 

Negative

 

 Beware the signs of false loves. These are the intense, bad for your health love/hate relationships that lead to nowhere but pain and grief. Do not avoid the signs that tell you when a relationship is wrong. Do not, ever, assume your mate will change. True love will shine above others. Wait for the light or light it up.  

 

 

MAGICAL

Positive

 

You have the uncanny ability to interact with other dimensions. Your mystical powers are apparent whenever your surrender to your higher power.  Interacting with multi dimensions gives you Shamanistic qualities. Your ability to communicate on this level is limited to your state of mind. Peace and truth will show the way.

Magic can back-fire on you when it to do harm, beyond understanding not paying attention. Avoid mistakes and disasters and give your magic your full attention. 

 

 

 

MAGICAL INSTINCTS

Everything in the universe is connected. Mother Nature creates only a few with magical instincts. By not exercising your abilities you are denying the universe a strand in its web.  

 

 

 

MANIFEST

Positive

 

 To manifest is to possess the vision of understanding. You are connected to  the life force of all things. You have influence over others giving them vision and perception in their own lives.

Powerful outside forces are waiting to infiltrate your defenses. Keep your vision wide and true. See things not for what they are, but what they can be.

You possess instant spiritual intuition of truths and transcend ordinary understanding through an intimate union with the magic in all things. When at peace you experience ecstasy. All seek your natural abilities or be part of it.

 

Negative

 

You are easily enticed by the glitter of gossip. It’s OK to observe, but don’t listen or get involved. If you do so, you will lose your mystical intuitions all together and replaced with deception.

 

 

 

NEW ADVENTURES

Positive

 

Your soul desires the experience of new places and new things. Each new experience brings you broadens your reality of understanding.

 

Negative

 

 The biggest mistake in beginning your adventures is waiting for someone else to start it for you. Your adventure begins with desire enough for you to go it alone. Ask for help, but don’t depend on it to make it happen. Be resourceful, not dependent.

 

 

NEW BEGINNINGS

Positive

 

As spring comes every year you carry the seeds of possibilities of what could be. You spread seeds of inspiration and hope.

 

Negative

 

 

It is not unwise to desire the past to be forgotten and start anew, but some experiences must be carried into all new beginnings. If not you will keep repeating the same mistakes you made in the past.

OBSERVE

Positive

 

Very few have your gift; the ability to observe your environment and events through judgeless eyes. You become separate from what you are observing in order to view the truth.

Negative

 

There is a human quality you cannot deny and it creates confusion within you. Although you are a great observer, you are also human which can cause you to act upon what you are observing. Use your judgment wisely and get the whole story before your react.

 

 

 

PASSION

Positive

 

You have the capability to experience the most compelling of human emotions...passion. Very few get to experience this bliss. It only serves your heart.

Negative

 

Passion is an emotion that can very easily be transformed into rage. This happens whenever the passion is disrupted for any reason. Overreacting will only make matters worse. Give yourself time to regroup your senses.

 

PATIENCE

Positive

 

You have great patience with your environment. You can envision possibilities of others but have the patience for them to discover them themselves. This is patience you have with yourself as well.

 

Negative

 

Do not miss out on opportunities by being too patient. Patience may be a virtue, but it can turn into avoidance or laziness.

 

 

PLAY

Positive

 

Children play because they can. They haven’t yet been exposed to duty, responsibility or work. Your inner child comes out to play often and you get to experience that freedom. This could also be read in reverse...that you lack play in your life.

 

Negative

 

As good as playing is, you must know when it’s time to stop. There are other experiences that await you that are just as good.  You may also be burdened with the belief that you are not allowed to play.  Set limitations, one way or the other.

 

 

 

PREPARE

 

Positive

 

You are always prepared, as if you know what is to come. Like a squirrel in the woods who instinctively gathers nuts in the fall you prepare yourself for what is to come next.

 

Negative

 

Too much preparation means you are missing out on what’s going on right in front of you.  Don’t spend too much time thinking of what has to be done before it happens. Live in the moment...if only for a while.

 

REFLECT

Positive

Like bears in the winter, you soul likes to hibernate. Reflecting back allows you to get a broader sense of where you are today. Go deep within the core of your past to discover new directions and experiences.

 

Negative

 

Don’t overanalyze what you are reflecting. This could send you on an endless mission of ‘what if’ possibilities. Reflect with a neutral view and you will get a clear image.

 

 

 

PROTECTION

Positive

 

Protection is not the same as the protector. Protection is the means you protect. You possess powerful protective magic. When activated it can easily ward off evil spirit without them even realizing it. You can create magical tools.

 

Negative

 

Someone will ask to use your protection tools. Do not submit to their request. Their intentions are not good. Keep your tools to yourself, they are not intended for others to use. If their intentions are good they will be able to create their own tools.

 

 

 

PROTECTOR

Positive

 

You are the protector of all things that are natural, as the Green Man is to Mother Nature.  You diligently watch for the signs of abuse and misuse of things natural and quickly correct any wrongdoings. You keep all things natural on their course.

 

Negative

 

You will be challenged by unknown forces to turn a blind eye on the nature of things. Much will be lost if you allow this force to take you over. Beware of the signs, you will know them by the way they make you feel. 

 

 

SHAMAN JOURNEY

Positive

 

You have the ability to reach altered states of consciousness and travel between dimensions and realities and return with universal knowledge. Sometimes this journey causes you great pain but is necessary to obtain pertinent information you seek.

 

Negative

 

 Don’t get lost in the process. If you lose connection with yourself while traveling you may not be able to return to your reality. Seek you must, but remember who you are at all times.

 

 

SHAMAN VISION

Positive

 

As with ancient Shaman Artists you have the talent to see beyond what is in front of you. You can see the intention of others and visualize events before they happen. Learn to trust your instincts.

 

Negative

 

 Not all you see is what to come if you rush your process. This may be why you do not trust your instincts. Making conclusions by assuming will send you wrong messages and wrong conclusions. If you take time to view the whole picture you will receive the correct vision of what is. Trust you instincts.

 

 

SHARE SECRETS

Positive

 

Good thoughts and secrets should not be kept to yourself. Share the things you hold sacred with someone special. Sharing treasured thoughts will inspire and awaken the spirit of those who listen.

 

Negative

 

 Choose who you share your secrets with wisely. There are some who wish to deceive you into relinquishing your secrets to be used against you.

 

 

WARRIOR

Positive

 

You fight for what you believe in and rightfully so. You are a warrior at heart. Others depend on you for protection.

 

Negative

 

 Waiting for battle all the time can be draining. Take a break every now and then from your post. Do something fun and different. Show others you are more than a warrior.

 

 

WEALTH

Positive

 

Great wealth is waiting for you. Wealth comes from the joy of giving and knowing all that you give comes back 2 fold. You must also remember to accept gifts from others with joy.

Negative

 

All gifts are precious if given with love. Refusing a gift for any reason is denying someone the experience of joy. And on the other hand and most importantly...once you give  something away you must lose all attachments to it. Whatever happens to it next is up to the person you gave it to. 

 

 

 

WISDOM

Positive

 

Wisdom is the insight of all things at the highest level of understanding. You are sought out for your wisdom and advice which your freely give.

 

Negative

 

Wisdom can fill your head with ideals of righteousness. Remember, wisdom does not come from the brain; it comes from the heart...all else is prejudice thinking and false wisdom.
