Shamanic Animal Appearing … Python

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment
Python’s message: You can heal yourself and others.

Th spirit of the Snake is presented to you as a symbol of healing.  Since ancient times, this sacred animal has always been associated with medicine and healers.  This sign means that you have a strong potential as a healer, whatever technique or approach you may feel attracted to.  It might be the right time to explore this by practicing and offering your services to the world.  Healing is a process of transmuting energy.  Among certain native tribes, initiation rites consist of being bitten by a venomous snake:  if the initiate survived by transmuting the venom, then the healer’s path could be followed.  We can all heal our lives by transforming negative energies.  For the good of our physical health of course, but also to enhance our relationships and to soften our emotional responses and past wounds.  Never forget:  When you heal yourself, you can heal the world.  If you are currently confronted with health issues, the Python is a sign of a positive outcome.

Tarot Contemplation – The Chariot

You may feel like sticking close to home today to get on with what you need to do there. The Chariot is a card of “safety”, whether this be your own need to feel safe and secure or simply the need to regroup your thoughts in order to find an answer.

Love life: This is a great day to spend some time at home relaxing with a special someone. You may also feel the warmth of your family’s good feelings towards you and all you do for them.

Work life: There is structure to your life today when it comes to work. If you are faced with a problem that seems too big for you, break it down to smaller tasks and go from there.
