DAILY POWER ANIMAL
Dove spirit | Let go of emotional baggage.
Are you going through life carrying old grief, pain, or hate? If so, Dove (sometimes known as Mourning Dove) encourages you to let go of your emotional baggage so that true healing can take place. It’s time to forgive, release, and move forward. And, know that healing Dove is flying right beside you. The dove is a gentle and pure animal, it is the bearer of good news and hope. It shows us that this is an end of a cycle, we are close to our form of paradise and need to be patient. Flying high to deliver the messages, it embodies the element Air: knowing all, seeing the bigger picture, and helping you in a loving way to create a more beautiful and harmonious world.
Whenever we feel hopeless and need a sign to remain on the right path a dove is sent. From the bible and the story of Noah’s ark, through art, and poetry it has been an eternal symbol of peace, hope, divinity, and purity. Its main purpose is to remind you to let your purity, love, and faith shine brighter than the obstacles in front of you. The essence of this spirit is clearing the fog of doubt in any area in your life, bringing you a feeling of security, that you are being looked over and protected on your life’s mission. Embrace the beauty and divinity, and walk with confidence, because you are in tune with the universe. There is no place for suspicion, you will meet your goals! However, remember that it is a symbol of grace and love as well, so keep in mind that cruelty is out of the picture, you will have to be the better person. Not only that, but you will have to inspire others to be their higher selves too! Creating a world full of beauty and harmony is a difficult task, but as a dove, you will have to keep your optimism and help spread the universe’s messages. When dove helps you, you embody its traits and help others in need as well. In this specific case, be the bearer of hope, a ray of light in people’s lives.
Doves in a personal matter are a loving, affectionate, and trustworthy animal. Not only we have relied on them to deliver messages over long distances, but they are also trustworthy familywise. A dove is a monogamous animal, that shows extraordinary care for its partner and chicks. It reminds us of a romantic, gracious, and stable love and it moves in that matter in the world. This spirit animal is an embodiment of purity in every form, it doesn’t let you stray away from your higher path, reminding you of your true essence and helping you remain calm and collected in situations of distress. It is above pettiness and worldly quarrels, looking at them not with condescendence, but with love and understanding, like a motherly figure.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
PAGE OF WANDS
A well-dressed young man is boldly holding a stick standing on a barren land. His shirt is made in a salamander-like pattern which is a symbol of transformation from bad to good. This young man is a passionate advocator, who is constantly spreading spiritual and social advancement ideas that lift up his fellow man. The desert in the background behind him both is indicative of his element, fire, and also represents that he is living in a world that has not bared fruit yet. His ideas are therefore completely hypothetical. However, if he were to choose to use them, and undertake the journey of his suit, his purity of heart could lead him to find better fortunes.
When we see the Page of Wands, we see a youth with enormous excitement and curiosity for the world. He knows what to do, and he has the passion to succeed, but due to his inexperience and maybe a little fear of the unknown, his ideas remain abstract. He identifies new worlds to explore, and new opportunities he could take advantage of quite easily, and he is even gifted with the “big picture” vision needed to succeed. Even with all of this, he still has the tendency to either remain dormant or get easily distracted by one idea after the other. If he doesn’t learn to control this, it might be that he squanders the opportunities to advance himself.
When you get the Page of Wands, it simply means something is within you, something that triggers you to make discoveries, indulge in investments or take the next advancement in life.
When you get the Page of Wands, it simply means something is within you, something that triggers you to make discoveries, indulge in investments, or take the next advancement in life. You could be just about to take a move on a certain idea, but some conflicting messages keep coming to your mind, and you get discouraged. This card resembles your inner battles which are preventing you from expressing your heroism to the world, to letting the world know that you exist for a reason.
If you are wise enough, this card is normally a trigger of courage. It should make you overcome personal discouragements and move forward boldly to launch your ideas in the real world. Remove the fear, gather your resources and do something. Let the world know that you are there and you have no jokes about moving forward in the path that you choose. Conquer every obstacle, let your ideas shine, and be known to the world because this card indicates a level of success that can only be achieved when courage is deployed.
JANUARY 2023 LUNAR CALENDAR
1/6/2023 FULL WOLF MOON IN CANCER: Your feeling of safety is now related to your home, family, and similar activities such as cooking and gardening. You may be prone to emotional fluctuations; you should learn to forgive and forget in order to avoid depression from thinking too much about things. Your perception of the world can be very subjective; try to create a certain distance without being bitter. Due to your rich emotional manifestation, you can create a real sense of belonging in the world.
1/14/2023 LAST QUARTER IN LIBRA: You might have a strong need for balance and harmony now. You probably desire to keep things nice rather than venturing into fundamental questions in order not to disturb the peace. You must learn to share your good and bad feelings. Do not be afraid to be who you really are, despite what is expected of you.
1/21/2023 NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN: Your relationship with your emotions might be more complicated because Moon in Aquarius has a strong need for emotional freedom. However, when you are in a group of people, it is easier for you to understand your feelings and free yourself from negative emotions such as fear, anger, and jealousy.
1/28/2023 FIRST QUARTER IN TAURUS: Your safety depends on the need for stability, which is not easy to satisfy now. You have to learn to accept change as part of your life. The basic problem is finding your own self-respect in order to ensure that you do not mistakenly seek it in material things. When you accept yourself for who you are, it will become easier for you to find peace and tranquility in the outside world.
