DAILY ANIMAL SPIRIT
Mockingbird Spirit | Be aware of your need to imitate.
”This morning
two mockingbirds
in the green field
were spinning and tossing
the white ribbons
of their songs
into the air.
I had nothing
better to do
than listen.”
Mary Oliver
Mockingbirds are master imitators and can mimic the calls of many other birds. They’re also fearless protectors of their nest and will attack any bird (no matter how large) to protect their young. Mockingbird’s lesson for you today is twofold: to listen to how you might be mimicking others—instead of listening to your own true voice; and to examine the value of what you defend. Hmmm?
Mockingbird Spirit carries several messages on its wings. Perhaps the most important one is that of finding your voice and the music that inspires your soul. Your “song” has power – the vibration in your words rings out with intent. There is no need to keep this powerful energy within. Sing! Along the same lines, you should probably take some time to think about your interactions with others. Do they understand you fully? If not, let Mockingbird help.
Another lesson Mockingbird offers points to the utility of imitation. Imitation is a form of flattery; in some instances, it is far more than just that. Children imitate the behaviors of their parents, which helps teach safety, social strictures, respectfulness, and, of course, language; in this, Mockingbird asks you two questions.
First, Mockingbird encourages you to ask yourself, “Are you a good role model for others?” If you have cursed in front of a quick-witted child, you understand why Mockingbird reminds you that others will mimic your behavior. Secondly, you’ll need to consider if you are modeling the behaviors you see in others that you respect? Say you have always admired your friend’s knack for flexibility. How can you “imitate” their attitude or behaviors in your life? Mockbird urges you to adopt the most positive traits from those around you while leaving the negatives behind.
Sometimes Mockingbird appears to people who are having their figurative nests attacked in some way. Perhaps gossip is afoot or actions spurred by jealousy. No matter the exact cause, Mockingbird gives you the courage to protect your own and your sacred space. If someone comes in with attitudes and arguments, you have the right and responsibility to ask them to leave; this is difficult for many people, but Mockingbird has the courage you need.
Finally, Mockingbird teaches us how to be curious and learn from experience. Every sound a Mockingbird sings comes from discovery. They hear it, seek it out carefully, and then begin replicating that through practice. Life lessons are like that too. You have the knowledge but have to put it into practice for personal progress.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
X. WHEEL OF FORTUNE
The Wheel of Fortune turns evermore, seemingly to communicate that life is made up of both good and bad times, and that the cycle is one that we cannot control. It is something that is subjected to both kings and workers, and that nobody on earth can avoid what is fated. When you have good moments in your life, make sure that you enjoy to the fullest, for what comes up must always go down. The same is true in reverse – when you are in a bad situation, things will eventually become better again.
The same forces that govern the changing of the seasons, or the rising and setting of the sun is also the master of luck and the fate of individuals.
Greater forces that are outside of human control are at work here. The same forces that govern the changing of the seasons, or the rising and setting of the sun is also the master of luck and the fate of individuals. Where it lands is as random as chance – you may find yourself at either the top or bottom, but remember that no matter what the outcome it may not last for very long, for the wheel always turns.
JANUARY 2023 LUNAR CALENDAR
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.
