This week's External Influence is the Reversed Spirit Guide Jaguar. When the Jaguar guide normally appears, it means a time of forward motion and passion. That it will be a time of awakening in which you will find the time and energy to express your intense interests. It means to keep your goals close to your mind in order to keep the energy fresh and focused. However, when we see the Jaguar as a reversed guide, it comes to herald a week of inner reflection. Allow yourself to slow down and to really focus your energy inward. Connect not so much with the Jaguar's outward burst of productive, creative energies, but look more to the quiet and contemplative patience of this feline guide. Use this week to listen to the world from a place of humility, enhancing your sense of empathy. Be strong, but be calm. Think carefully before every word or action. If you have been having communication issues then you may need to assess your level of bluntness and compassion. This week will be a time of thought, consideration, and planning for forward motion. Take easy, focused steps forward without rushing.

This week's Rune is Wunjo. This rune is depicted as being a banner or weather vane. These symbolize the rune's meaning of kinship and interaction between individuals from the same source or place. Wunjo is the rune of joy, hope, pleasure, and fellowship. The weather vane moves in concert with the air around it, signifying the harmonious relationship of an object with it's environment and those around it. This week we will see an increase in joy and harmony. Allow yourself to connect with the boundless joy of interacting with those around you as well as the spirits within all around us. It reminds us of the bliss found in seeing the happiness around us all. By holding honor and integrity, we can find a freedom in our own strength. In this way, we can build a strong foundation with those around us. Wunjo aids us in that building of social and familial bonds as well as increasing our levels of happiness and inspiration for a specific goal. This week, Wunjo will show you that you have the strength and ability to reach the goals you have been aching for. That you can find the happiness and joy that you feel has been just out of your reach. This rune symbolizes Oneness. Find peace within and around yourself and thus reaching a joy and peace.

The Internal Card is the Spirit Guide Owl. This card continues the message of manifesting your wishes. A great urge to find your place and harmony is within you and you have the power to achieve it. Owl reminds us we have knowledge within and that we have the ability to research and learn even more. Keep enthusiasm in your heart as you work towards your goals. This will require calling on more respect from others towards yourself. Communicate clearly and remember to watch carefully for body language or other signs of communication from those around you. Owl reminds us to see clearly past the illusions that may be spun around us. See the strength within you that can enable you to reach for the resources outside of you. Be courageous and persistent as you grow towards manifesting goals. Heal within and be confident. You can rise above, undaunted by the trials that may have held you back in your past if you realize the strength, magic, and wisdom within you.
