DAILY POWER ANIMAL
Panther spirit | Practice the medicine of silence.
Panther medicine is the medicine of silence. Panther can stalk its prey in absolute silence—one of the reasons native tribes associate him with the spirit world—particularly the night. Panther can show you how to face the Shadow within and bring it out into the Light. Panther is powerful medicine—and the fact that you choose him says much about your willingness to face the unknown.
Panthers are graceful, dangerous, stealthy, intelligent, and powerful animals. They tend to be loners – hunting and living alone, mainly in the shadows. However, they have a sense of elegance and royal power, stability, and beauty. They are associated with dark femininity – in other words – tapping into your inner strength. Since it prefers to move in the shadows – it is also a reminder to do your shadow work. That means that you will have to look at the darkest parts of yourself and heal and accept them. The panther is a powerful guide. It will bring emotional intelligence, stability, and power to you. It will enhance your social intelligence as well. If you have problems with oversharing – it will teach you how to be calmer and more collected. Because of its mysterious and mesmerizing aura – it will help you to be more alluring and charismatic.
The combination of these qualities can make you a well-calculated individual. You know how to behave in any social situation to remain in your power. Sometimes you may need to be bold and assertive – sometimes stealthy and mysterious. The balance of both of these sides is what brings you true power through intelligence. To some people, panthers are dangerous predators who hide under a beautiful facade. To understand the complete range of their personality – you need to look past this preset image. Here are some facts about them that may surprise you and help you see the whole picture of their character.
Panthers are loners – they prefer the comfort of their company. They will teach you that happiness is an entirely you-related activity. Being independent, unshakable, and in your power makes you not want to spread your valuable energy to undeserving individuals. The black panther is a leopard or jaguar with a genetic difference that gives them a black coat. If you take a closer look – you can see slight color variations – mainly spots. Therefore, the saying: “A leopard can’t change its spots.” is true, but they can hide them. Camouflaging its authentic self and presenting a chosen version is where we find some of the Black Panther’s symbolism and meanings. The panther – evolutionary speaking – has always lived on the land. It embodies the Element Earth – it is resilient, goal-goal oriented, stable, practical, protective, powerful, well-collected, intelligent, and mysterious. That combined with otherwordly grace and beauty makes the panther a dangerous opponent and a powerful ally. It knows its worth and protects it. Choosing a life in the shadows is what serves this animal – it prefers not to draw unnecessary attention to itself so it can complete its goals unbothered.
Panther spirit will help you find your inner strength. Its stability, protectiveness, ambition, and independent lifestyle, will inspire you to find these qualities in yourself as well. There are, however, some characteristics that stand out from the rest. The black panther is a symbol of dark femininity and shadow work. That means that it will gently nudge you into better understanding yourself and acting accordingly with your higher self. Understanding the darkest corners of our souls is crucial for growth and stability. To find physical and mental agility – you have to get honest with yourself and assess indifferently. It can be challenging to face our authentic form, but this spirit guide will help you on the way. It is a rewarding process filled with a lot of obstacles. The panther will help you be as close to being self-sufficient as possible. It is healthy to form meaningful and long-lasting relationships. Being completely self-sufficient might seem safe at the moment, but growth comes when we step out of our comfort zones. That doesn’t mean relying on other people to do the work for you. The panter is teaching you how to be independent and part of society. When you are healing and acknowledging all of your soul, and you have learned how to rely on yourself for your happiness while forming meaningful connections – you will tap into your divine power. That is the goal of the panther – to guide you on your journey of improvement and realization. Radiating beauty, grace, intelligence, stability, and power, are the effects of working on yourself. You have to be aware of your reality if you want to change it – just like the panther has a darker coat.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
V | 5 OF WANDS
From the image on the card, the symbolism in the Five of Wands suggests that there is a form of conflict in one’s life. This may be an existing conflict or one that is brewing and may eventually blow up in one’s face. It may also depict a problem in communication, for example in a situation where no one really wants to listen to the other – meaning that no agreement or understanding takes place. The five men may signify problems in a group of people who are not patient enough to listen to what anyone else is saying. They only want to be heard, and since none of the others will listen, they all argue at once.
Much of this can be solved by the querent taking the first step to try and initiate communication in such a way that you suggest that everyone airs out what they have to say, one at a time. By doing this, you will be able to address the problem, and everyone will be heard. Meaning they’ll all be satisfied.
The Five of Wands can also mean that you are or will be facing competition in an area that you are not used to. This can be at work or school where you will meet people with the same abilities as you who pose quite a challenge – leading to feelings of jealousy, greed, and envy. This tarot card encourages you to accept the competition as a way for you to improve yourself without feeling any malice towards them. This means that you should learn how to cope with them in a civil way.
This tarot card encourages that you accept the competition as a way for you to improve yourself without feeling any malice towards them.
The Five of Wands meaning could also be a personal struggle that you are dealing with on your own. This can be on a number of issues that affect you, hence you need to address them and find a solution for them. You will need to identify where the problems are and offer a solution that will handle the case.
JANUARY 2023 LUNAR CALENDAR
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.
