This week's External Influence is the Reversed Lemur Spirit Guide! When this guide normally appears, the time has come to reset your mind in a calm manner with meditation and time out in nature. The Lemur tells us when it is a time to dive into spiritual research and growth. When the Lemur comes as a Reversed guide, we see that this week will be a crash course in application of the knowledge you have. You have the resources and the intelligence, but have you been squandering it? Use this week to apply the knowledge that you have acquiring. How have you been spending your time? Consider if you need to take time to balance your work load with your relaxation time. Don't over indulge in either side, but attempt to bring yourself to a point of equilibrium. You may have had a vast amount of ambition, but let it slide recently. Recapture that feeling of motivation. Put on exciting music as you work or take a brisk walk to get yourself moving on a task. Use activity to motivate you!

This week's Rune is Mannaz. This symbol represents the bridge between the mortal world and that of the divine. This symbolism extends to the divinity that exists within each person. It represents the inherent intelligence, reasoning skills, memory, and tradition that make up people as individual and as a community. This week, there is a rich, depth-filled connection emanating within and around us all in stronger waves. Use this connection within yourself to find the divine and connect with the intelligence that fills our world. Feel the divine within yourself and understand that you can tap into greater sources of memory and knowledge than you may have thought before. This week will be a great opportunity to use this connection to understand the aspects of your personality as well as aiding in understanding social order around you. Consider taking this week to learn about incarnation. Think of how you can interact within your social order in order to create a better foundation for yourself within your environment. Be wary for this Rune can also indicate someone attempting to undermine you. But hold fast and strong with determination to learn. Explore the depths of research and intelligence within you and around you.

This week's Internal Influence card is seen as the Horse spirit guide. Although this week will be a test to figure out a new routine or to balance social engagements, know that you are strong and that the wild spirit within you is shown when the horse appears! The horse spirit guide is a sign to release the bindings that have been holding you back! Stop doubting. Stop restraining yourself due to your fear. You have much more strength than you believe. Work on combining this power with gentle patience and compassion in order to overcome any ordeal you may feel within you. The horse is known for it's connections to freedom and travel. It was a key component in the spread of civilization and reminds us of both the wild abandon of a free spirit as well as the strength of a hardworking ethic. It is ok to develop and change over time. Allow your mind to travel and grow as you experience this week. It is ok to let go and move forward to advance physically and mentally. In doing so, you may open up abilities such as clairvoyance or the ability to see magic and the light in others. If can be intimidating to grow, but it will only aid you in becoming the best of who you really are.
