The Weekly Spiritual Reading is here! 😄

This week's External Influence is the Reversed Cheetah Spirit Guide. When this guide appears, it normally indicates that time may go faster in the coming time. As if rushing by, it would require a level of grace and flexibility to get through the week. However, when we see this Spirit Guide as a Reversed card, it can often indicate that now is the time to look at your far goals. Do not let yourself get sucked into the tiny details of each day. You may find yourself overwhelmed by too much if you let every small thing pile up on your mind. In order to handle this, it may prove worthwhile to make a list of the important steps that you need to complete this week in order to reach the main goal you are hoping to accomplish. Think carefully and long about the opportunities that are presented to you this week. Make sure to let yourself mull over the options and to carefully weigh each decision you make. This week is not the time to rush into thing, but to ponder and decide with a full awareness of what you are deciding on. This week is not just about goals, however. The Reversed Cheetah also reminds us to take time for some self care this week. You may have been pushing too hard recently and this guide is a reminder to take a step back and let yourself slow down. It is good to be goal oriented, however, remember to take time for yourself in order to balance out all the parts of your life.

This week's Rune is Algiz! Symbolized by the branches of a tree or the arcs of an Elk's antlers, this rune is known as the protective rune. It's imagery heralds a time or place of refuge and safety brought about in connection with the divine and the spirit of humanity evolving into divinity. Agliz is used when we are working to complete a goal with a successful outcome or when we wish for protection and grounding. It will aid in defending you from harm. It may be beneficial for this coming time to connect with symbolisms containing the three-fold or nine-fold count. In this way, you may find yourself closer to the divine within and around us. Spend time working on communicating with the elements you are closest to. This could include meditation in solitude, in nature, or in activity meant to activate fulfillment in connection to elements such as running or swimming. Agliz is here to remind us and prove to us that we are protected and defended against negativity or enemies. Evolution and safety are here for you this week. Now is a time when you are gaining your wings and growing as a person. It may feel vulnerable, but know that this time of growth includes a sanctuary in which you can evolve upward in spirit and body.

In the Internal Influence, we see Alligator. Don't rush. Let this week be about gathering information and organizing your thoughts as well as your environment. If making a decision, take the extra time to gather as much research as possibly from multiple perspectives before making your decision. This week's challenges may make you feel like nothing but the negative exists, but remember that where there is death there is life. Where there is darkness, there is light. Alligator represents the principles of land and water, life and death. Without one, there is no other. Others may think you are doing nothing, but in silence there is contemplation. In slowness, there is deliberation. Allow yourself to be strong as you work on protecting yourself and your territory. It may help to spend time cleaning and refreshing your home environment in order to aid in dealing with the outer environment of the world. Meditation will be beneficial to you in order to clean your inner mind, as well. Digest the information that has come to you, gather and absorb more research, and consider your options before making a decision. Alligator is a symbol of new knowledge and beginnings. Allow whatever challenges appear this week to promote growth rather than destruction.
