DAILY ANIMAL SPIRIT
Crow spirit | You are a fount of knowledge.
Crow is always on the alert for trouble—and their loud caws! warn each other of impending danger, Very little escapes Crow’s keen vision—which is why many cultures associate Crow with the keeper of knowledge. Crow has flapped his way into your life today to bring a message of watchfulness—have you built your nest high enough to really understand what’s going on around you?
Crow represents the soul’s journey. In old cultures, this spirit animal had a somewhat sharp meaning: the messenger of death that came to guide the souls of death into another dimension. The spiritual meaning of the crow, on the other hand, has evolved with time and is now more akin to resurrection than death. When we talk about the crow as a spirit animal, we must visualize transformation, metamorphosis, and new beginnings. This spirit animal isn’t about dying; it’s about letting go of the past. This deity enters our everyday life and our routine to bless us with its intelligence and skills of adaptability. In life, there will be moments when our emotions lead us down an irrational route, and when a rash choice arises, we are reminded that we should sometimes stop listening to our hearts and instead listen to our heads.
In the beliefs of old shamans and ancient tribes, crows have long been thought of as divine messengers, so whatever subtle notions they send us – each of them should be taken seriously and analyzed accordingly. Crows have been co-living with other creatures for as long as humans have been around, if not longer. If a cow appears to you in a dream, the cleverest thing you can do is – ask it for advice or ask it about upcoming future events.
These deities have a significant connection to the collective memory and they are considered the most powerful fortunetellers. When crows as spirit animals send us messages or guide us on spiritual paths, they often bring different degrees of luck with them. The ancient Greeks considered crows a good omen, that prophesied victory in battle and future destiny. For many people today, this belief is still true, but the general strangeness of the crows will contradict many of the opposite views: it is still seen as a sign of doom and death, because of its mysterious and dark appearance.
Crows are above-average intelligent animals. The power animal crow is also surrounded by a certain aura of mystery. We – humans, are so attracted to these beings because they symbolize the space between the earth and the sky, which cannot be explained with logical reasoning. They carry a hint of magic and mysticism with them, which is always interesting to analyze. Crows as spirit animals symbolize the following traits:
Mysterious
Intelligent
Magical
Many people are afraid of death and don’t even dare to think about it. The power animal crow encourages you to face this topic today because it is very important for you to live your life to the fullest – each day. Birth and growing up are just as much a part of this life as passing away and dying. The crow brings you comfort and promises from the Otherworld that death does not mean the end of life, only the frequencies of existence are changed.
Imagine a snowy mountain, when it melts it no longer exists in its original form, but shifts as a beautiful river and continuous life in a different form. Crows carry that beautiful massage, that you shouldn’t see death as an enemy to conquer, but as a challenge to your spiritual growth. Neither this world nor the hereafter is better or worse, just two different energetical frequencies you have to merge into.

DECEMBER 2022 LUNAR CALENDAR
THU DECEMBER 8th: Full Moon in Gemini. Moon in Gemini manifests itself through the need for changes and spontaneity. Safety lies in thinking about your feelings and sharing them with others. You can be more talkative and speak with ease these days. You might have a better ability to keep a cool head, but beware, a cold heart can discourage others. Harmony of thinking and feeling is important.
FRI DECEMBER 16th: Last Quarter Moon in Virgo. Your feeling of safety is now related to order and clarity, even in emotions. You may have the need to organize everything chaotic and disorganized. Try being more tolerant and accepting the imperfections of life. It is better to trust life and let it run its own way, not everything must be according to our expectations.
FRI DECEMBER 23rd: New Moon in Capricorn. You might have a strong need for being useful to society and you look for justification in the outside world. You may underestimate what you want from yourself and for yourself. Shyness may be accompanied by resentment of the fact that others ignore you. Do not seek approval from the outside, it will not help you get rid of your doubt and it is harmful to you. You have to trust your inner values.
THU – FRI DECEMBER 29-30th: First Quarter Moon in Aries. The feeling of uncertainty can make you solve problems faster than is natural. Do not rush as if there was a deadline. Try to slow down so that you can decide what you want to do and proceed at your own comfortable pace.
DECEMBER 2022 ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR
On December 7th, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Gemini. This lunation can bring sudden awareness to our lives and a rather urgent “need to know.” We may want to get an important message across, finish a communications project, or make an announcement. Travel and communications are in strong focus. The Moon aligns with retrograde Mars around the time of this Full Moon, and it can be an especially revealing time as it’s likely to pull up unrest, resentment, and buried frustrations. We should watch for too-quick decisions and actions while paying close attention to what illuminates.
On the 20th, Jupiter enters Aries. Jupiter first entered Aries on May 10th, but after turning retrograde on July 28th, it returned to Pisces on October 28th. Now, Jupiter re-enters Aries, where it will stay until May 16th, 2023. This transit encourages us to embrace our enterprising spirit and independence.
With Jupiter in Aries, we make our own opportunities, and we thrive when we take the lead, initiate, inspire others, and demonstrate enthusiasm and courage. Prosperous areas are ones that allow us to head and lead, and to innovate. Faith in ourselves can bring about positive circumstances or good luck.
Faith in our ability to reinvent our lives and to move forward with confidence in spite of challenges we may be leaving behind is strong during this cycle. We believe that “life is what you make it,” and we enjoy competition as it pushes us to do better. Our belief in ourselves brings a spirit of the pioneer. We live in the “now” and quickly seize opportunities. However, we should watch for taking any of these things too far, a me-first attitude that can be insensitive, failing to consider others’ viewpoints and leaving opportunities behind as a result, over-confidence, not learning from past mistakes, and a lack of objectivity.
Chiron turns direct on December 23rd after retrograde motion since July 19th. Emotional truths about matters we’ve been avoiding or confused about begin to emerge now and in the coming weeks. While not always comfortable revelations, they can serve to motivate us to take appropriate action.
Also on December 23rd, the New Moon occurs in the sign of Capricorn, stirring a new beginning. We recognize that having some boundaries and rules in place frees us up to enjoy ourselves as we meet our responsibilities. This lunation offers us the opportunity to set practical, attainable goals and work on developing maturity, self-discipline, and common sense. We’re prompted to consider and prepare for the future.
Jupiter forms a semi-square Uranus on December 23rd. This is the final of three transits, with the other two perfections on May 11th and September 28th. This transit is a minor but longer-term aspect. We can feel a little restless, wanting to grow, improve, and innovate, but we’re not necessarily focused. We could find it difficult to agree with others, or it’s hard to find common ground. We need to be willing to make changes in our lives now, or change will come in perhaps unwanted forms. This is a rebellious, restless influence, and we should avoid random moves. It’s best to tap into areas that may need some attention and improvement. We might open ourselves up to new ways of thinking, but we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter. While watching for impractical ventures and unusual tangents with weak staying power, we should connect with our desire to innovate.
On December 29th, Mercury turns retrograde in the sign of Capricorn, and it will continue its retrograde journey until January 18th. Some delays or information clogs are possible. With Mercury retrograde in Capricorn for the whole cycle, we may have little tolerance for small talk and tend to express ourselves after much deliberation. Plans may be considered then reconsidered. We are in a good position to reevaluate professional or life path plans and goals. It’s also a fine time to explore what ambition or our reputation means to us.
