The Weekly Spiritual Reading is here! 😄

This week's External Influence is the Reversed Dragon Spirit Guide. When this guide normally appears, it comes as a signal for a shift of empowerment, self-confidence, and prosperity. It speaks of change as something full of potential, not fear. The Dragon can be a metaphor for something grand or daunting that, at times, has the potential to make one balk at a positive change. However, when the Dragon comes as a reversed external sign, it is a sign that our grand change does not come from the outside, but from within. There has been a storm brewing within you recently. Maybe you have not been expressing yourself to the best extent or maybe you have felt smothered or held back. Whether this has been because of your environment, another person, or yourself, know that this week will provide the momentum and power to make that push past any barriers or fears stopping you. The Reversed Dragon is a powerful sign that your growth is within you and it is up to you to really show what makes you unique. Remind yourself of your strengths, dive into an old hobby, strengthen a skill or advance your intellect. Do not wait for others to give you aid, but know that you have the strength to rise up and reignite. Have caution, however, that you do not burn yourself out too fast, but make steps forward with consideration for yourself and others. Remember that everyone is going through their own challenge and deserves just as much patience and respect as you wish to receive from others.

This week's Rune is Ansuz. Connected strongly with the God Odin, it is a symbol representing the wind blown cloak of Odin. Ansuz connects us with order, knowledge, creative expression, communication, and mental agility. It is a rune that looks towards intelligence and the spoken word as signs of divine, or magical, force. It governs the pursuit of wisdom with a mind towards increasing intuitive abilities and inspiration in the creative arts. Allow yourself to take time to express yourself this week. Whether in writing, speech, poetry, or music, let your feelings and thoughts come forth. Let your mind open to new thoughts in order to refresh the morals and ideas you already hold dear. Reach the divine through looking within. Ansuz enables us to release the heaviness of anxieties and doubts. Use this week to give form to the goals you aspire to reach.

In the Internal Influence position, we see the spirit guide Kestrel. This small, but powerful raptor is known for it's strength, fearlessness, and tenacity. This guide comes to us when we need to view our life from a new perspective in order to gain needed information. Consider your future goals and inner needs carefully. Take time by yourself this week to mull things over, but be careful if you are spending too much time alone. The kestrel guide reminds us to analyze and think carefully as we choose the perfect moment to make our moves. Fully commit and then move gracefully to reach your goals. Strength comes from intelligence, decisive thought and actions. Use your mental abilities to the best you can and use every opportunity you can to learn. This week, soak in all the information that you can in order to help yourself advance and grow into the best version of yourself that you can. Remind yourself that being ignorant is not wrong. Remaining ignorant is what will cause stagnation. Every opportunity is a chance to learn, adapt, and grow. This week is a chance to move forward and allow yourself to advance into a happier and more independent version of yourself. By allowing yourself to learn, to grow stronger, and act with grace, you will allow yourself a chance to become stronger as a singular person. In this way, you will also become stronger within your environment and social groups.
