DAILY ANIMAL SPIRIT
Cardinal spirit | You are infinitely powerful.
These birds are native to much of North America and the northern regions of South America. Because of their concentrations in these areas, most cultural associations with the three species of Cardinals stems from cultures in these regions.
They are such staples in many states this bird is the state symbol for several areas. They are regular fixtures across the United States.
Cardinals, in nature, mate for life. They’re also homebodies staying close to home throughout the year. This gives them strong ties to devotion, nurturing, and love. As Cardinals are year-round Birds, their Numerology association is Number 12 – the number of perfection and completion. Seeing Cardinals is considered particularly fortunate for relationships because we want those we love to be with us through all seasons or year-round.
Beyond being Mr. Romance, the male Red Cardinal shows pluck in defending his home and what they consider personal “space.” Do not mess with this guy in his territory. Considering the symbolic value and Bird Medicine here, Cardinal becomes a fierce Guardian Spirit Animal.
The Cardinal song is delightfully varied. Bird watchers tell us they hear certain whistles that sound like the word “cheer.” What a wonderful message to spread throughout the woods and regions where Cardinal dwells – be of good cheer; this is an energetic, life-loving song that boosts any weary soul.
Cardinal couples sing together, as well as singing songs to each other. If you are in a relationship, this symbolizes both unity and diversity – the things so important to a healthy, loving balance. Sing together, particularly in difficult times. Sing to each other of your feelings, desires, and dreams. Remain faithful and attentive, and your relationship has a great future.
When you see two couples together, regardless of gender, it is a symbol of coupling, romance and love. If you are single, a new love may be coming into your life. If you have a partner, Cardinals remind you to align your shared visions.
Cardinals are also associated with home, friendship, and devotion to loved ones. Some associate Cardinal song with connection to Angels.
Lightworkers describe the Red Cardinal as a Bird with an objective. This Animal Spirit Guide reminds us to watch for the opportunity and think deeply about our purpose in the greater scheme of things.
The Red Cardinal bird, in particular, is considered feminine in nature, focusing our attention on the vivid side of the Goddess, the Sacred Feminine, and life-giving blood at the time of birth. Cardinals also represent the intuitive and inventive nature that we may otherwise overlook.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
IX. NINE OF SWORDS
The Nine of Swords is often associated with fear and anxiety, about all the things that worry you and keep you up at night. Sometimes this card can be associated with trauma – one which may be shameful for you to confide with others about, and all the psychological responses that come from experiencing that trauma.
Sometimes this card can be associated with trauma – one which may be shameful for you to confide with others about
When we are never released from the entrapment depicted in the Eight of Swords, we escalate into the Nine of Swords, where we are plagued by nightmares. The suit of swords is one that is concerned with the mind, with logic, with intelligence, and with communication, but somehow the Nine of Swords was caught on the destructive end of the mind, the one which turns inward on itself, multiplies and festers. Questions are plaguing you, and you find yourself reciting all the possibilities – all the things that can happen to you. You are haunted by what could be.
There is a sense of repetition within this card, that some event which has troubled you before, and one which you managed to either repress or run away from, is coming back again. Sharing your grief does at least provide an outlet for your pain and may release you from carrying this burden alone. Is there anyone that you can feel comfortable speaking to?
Sharing your grief does at least provide an outlet for your pain and may release you from carrying this burden alone.
In cases where it is less about trauma and more about general anxiety, analyze yourself and think if this is a feeling that is within your control or if there are other factors that contribute to your anxiety. Concentrate on the matters which you can control, and learn to ask for help.
MARCH 2023 LUNAR CALENDAR
TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 2023: FULL WORM 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 accept imperfections of life. It is better to trust life and let it run its own way, not everything must be according to our expectations.
The name of the March 2023 full moon is the Full Worm Moon. This full moon name is inspired by the time of the year when the earthworms start to reappear as the ground thaws at the end of the winter. The birds start to come back as spring approaches, with the Spring Equinox that happens each year towards the end of March.
Other nicknames for the March Full Moon include Sap Moon, Crow Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon, and Lenten Moon.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 2023: LAST QUARTER MOON IN SAGITTARIUS
The greatest need is to always search for something. In order to feel safe, you might find that you need to have a goal, mission or philosophy that gives your life meaning. With Moon in Sagittarius, you have an optimistic approach to life, and you believe that things will get better even if you get into trouble.
TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 2023: NEW MOON IN PISCES
The feeling of uncertainty can make you solve problems faster then 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.
TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 2023: FIRST QUARTER MOON IN CANCER
Your feeling of safety is now related to your home, family and related activities such as cooking and gardening.

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.

MAR 02 — MERCURY ENTERS PISCES
Our thoughts and ideas become dreamier when the planet of communication enters the gentle sign of the Fishes. Over the next two and a half weeks, our thoughts and words become more creative and artistic, but a little delusional as we see the world through rose-colored glasses.

A day of pleasure and good vibes as we allow ourselves to relax and indulge in the finer things in life. Taking the road less traveled can bring nice surprises our way.

MAR 07 — SATURN ENTERS PISCES
After spending the last three years in rebellious Aquarius, Saturn enters imaginative Pisces, ushering us all into a new age and a “new normal.” Now is the time to break away from toxic communities and groupthink and allow ourselves to imagine a new and better world.

Our collective intuition increases as we follow our hearts rather than our head in all our adventurous interactions.
