This week's External Influence is the Reversed Spirit Guide Dingo. Also known as a Dhole, this spirit guide normally appears as a sign that you must observe your connections to those around you and study what those relationships are in order to consider if you need to challenge your role or accept it. It is a sign concerning family or workplace politics and a push to learn from your mistakes. As a Reversed spirit guide, the Dingo comes to ask us if we have been ignoring certain aspects of situations that have been negative to us or if we have been over stressing about something. What unhealthy habit, person, or influence have you been letting change your behavior? Have you been reacting in ways that you need to adjust? The Dingo reminds us to evaluate our mistakes, not to linger over them, but to assess what we can do in order to fix them and proceed more appropriately in the future. While the Dingo guide normally appears to reminds us to look for the lessons of wisdom passed down from family, the Reversed guide gives us a push to glean wisdom from new experiences and knowledge. Do not let old concepts keep you chained to old habits. Break free of repeating patterns for a healthier future.

This week's Rune is Jera. This symbol is depicted as being the union of heaven and earth or as the ever changing flow of the cycle between winter and summer. When Jera shows up in a reading, it can often be a strong sign to take a look at what cycles you are going through, what goals you are attempting to achieve, and what actions you must take in going forward. Looking at time, particularly a single year, is an important action when Jera appears. Look at your past year to see what struggles you have overcome and what goals you still wish to accomplish by the end of this year. Jera can aid you in seeing your goals in this wider view in order to see how far you have come. This week will be an important time to connect with Jera in order to understand the circular flow of time and the divine, how to work within natural patterns, and how to work with polarities to create a complete whole. The Jera rune can increase creativity, harmony, and is known for it's connection to fertility. In this way, we can become more grounded and able to bring about our goals and abundance. Jera brings us completion through dynamic change. We gain our completed goals only through correct action. Jera will aid you this week in that push to get things done to reach your goals.

In the Internal Influence, we see the spirit guide Elk. This week will be a time of abundance. Allow yourself to indulge in more plant foods and to eat foods that promote energy and stamina. This week will show you to move with a regal, but humble manner. Recognize the ability, strength, and intelligence within yourself. Remember, however, that ignorance is not bad. Only that remaining ignorant is detrimental. It is ok to constantly learn. Engage in your intended areas of study with dignity and an open mind. Consider taking time to meditate. Connect with the energies within your environment as well as within yourself. There may be a spirit or divinity trying to communicate with you and meditation may allow you to recognize what signs are may be missing. Elk are also symbols of love. There may be an increase in romance, friendship, or family ties coming up for you this week. Show affection and care for those you find important. When the Elk spirit guide shows up, this is often a reminder to us to engage in recognizing and increasing our personal talents, skills, and spiritualism. Even if your environment may require you to be calm or causes you to feel like you need to hide what makes you unique, remember that you can always tap into your inner strength when you need it. Have respect for others and yourself. Hold dignity and wisdom with the importance they deserve as you work to increase your stamina.
