The observable Universe contains one billion trillion stars.

Even while that amount is enormous, consider the billions of secret worlds and planets. Consider the distances we still need to cover.

Consider the notion that there is no such thing as time and that everything in the universe is constantly expanding or evolving.

Could it be that there are a dynamically changing number of stars, galaxies, planets, and realms?

If so, your birth on Earth would either have to have been a coincidence, a planned occurrence, or a prenatal decision.

As amorphous, wandering souls, we must take into account not only this planet but also countless others spread over the billions of galaxies, universes, and planets, as well as several spacetime continuums. Our souls could well have incarnated in a thousand other galaxies in this manner a thousand times. Additionally, we may even be leading joint, concurrent lives across a number of locations and spacetime platforms.

Does your soul hail from another planet or star system? If so, you’re a Starseed.

A Starseed is a mature soul who has traveled from other solar systems or star constellations and has lain dormant for a long time. They have taken on numerous forms on Earth throughout the course of several incarnations in other star systems. 

You may be sensing your soul’s link to a previous or future life if you have ever felt a connection to a brilliant planet or dazzling cluster of stars in the night sky. Since you are made of cosmic dust and were shaped with divine light, you may have even felt this connection profoundly in your being from birth.

You might be aware that you’re a starseed, but did you know there are different types of starseeds depending on their origins?

In this post, we’ll be exploring thirteen different types of starseeds and provide common physical and spiritual characteristics of each, so you can find out what kind of starseed you are!

Note:

As you read through each type of Starseed and its common traits, keep in mind these traits vary by person. It’s likely you’ve even lived in more than one of these star systems and have picked up traits from a few of those lives!

Don’t forget that this list isn’t a complete list of ALL types of starseeds, but the ones that most often incarnate on Mother Earth, or Terra.

If a specific type resonates with you, it’s likely this is what type you are! You can also write down which traits you have and which starseed types resonate – this will help you figure out which type of Starseed you are.

1. ORION STARSEEDS

Orion starseeds originate in the constellation of Orion.

The Orion constellation is home to several creatures that have migrated there from other star systems. Therefore, if you are an Orion starseed, it is likely that you have had previous incarnations in other star systems.

The incarnation you had more recently prior to your earthly one might be Orion, though. In one of your recent past lives, you might have resided on one of the planets or stars in the Orion constellation.

Mintaka was a paradise planet in the Orion constellation with waterways that sparkled like diamonds. Some people think that the Mintaka Seas are where whales and dolphins first appeared.

Mintaka no longer exists, but it is believed that many Orion starseeds on Earth have come from there. The features of both Orion and Mintakan starseeds are discussed below (which would be anyone from elsewhere in the Orion constellation).

Mintakan Signs & Traits:

• Strongly attracted to the water element, you adore everything about the ocean, the beach, and bodies of water.
• Strong desire to “ascend” spiritually and aid others as well
• A strong connection to whales and dolphins
• Dreams of swimming or living in lakes and oceans that are so sparkling they appear filled with diamonds
• High degrees of sensitivity to other beings; empathic

Orion Starseed Traits:

• Science-oriented humans are Orion Starseed traits. You’ll be fascinated by everything related to science, including chemistry, astronomy, genetics, etc.
• Highly intellectual and primarily motivated by thought
• Non-emotional; learning how to embrace and experience emotion
• Strong sense of humor; can be the life of the party, upbeat
• Staunch in their opinions, not easily swayed
• “Jack of all trades”: they are self-controlled and knowledgeable about many various subjects, but they could come out as emotionally detached (often unintentionally)
• A fascination with prehistoric communities and cultures that were adept at integrating many technologies
• Entrepreneurs: are task-oriented, see things through, and are deeply invested in the details and the process. They frequently manifest as earth signs (Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus)
• Their primary interest is knowledge, and they prioritize reasoning
• Some Orion starseeds have captivating, sky-blue or ice-blue eyes (though there are many Orion starseeds with all eye colors)

You can read more about Orion Starseeds here: their origins, connection to mythology, traits, and practices.

2. ARCTURIAN STARSEEDS

Arcturians are a subclass of starseed that originated from the red massive star Arcturus in the Bootes constellation. Arcturus is known as the home of the Egyptian deity of wisdom Thoth.

Arcturian starseeds are advanced star beings from another realm that frequently take human form.

Among us, the innovators, leaders, and visionaries are Arcturian starseeds—powerhouses of fortitude, wisdom, and spiritual power. Arcturian starseeds are characterized as having a strong will and potent masculine energy.

They are action-takers as opposed to deeply emotional feelers and creators as opposed to deep thinkers. They offer to Earth fundamental, ancient knowledge that has been firmly embedded in their soul DNA for countless ages by forgotten civilizations.

Through channeling and divination, it is possible to communicate with them. Some people think that on the way back from death, we travel through the Arcturian realm.

Arcturian Starseed Traits:

• Excellent public speaking skills and leadership qualities are characteristics of Arcturian Starseeds.
• Don’t fear death but are extremely passionate about technology Can occasionally come off as cocky or have a huge ego
• People with darker skin who are adept in mathematics and have an interest in metaphysics, particularly sacred geometry (but again Arcuturian starseeds vary in appearance)
• Planners: they like to make plans for practically everything and follow them. They are kind, yet appear to hold in their emotions.
• When offended or upset, they may exhibit anger as a form of emotion.
• Individuals with a thirst for success who are self-assured
• Choose occupations in technology, architecture, invention, science, math, statistics, or medical advancement. 
• Choose occupations in technology, architecture, invention, science, math, statistics, or medical advancement.

• Enjoys attention and appreciation
• Out of tune with their emotions; they are here to learn to connect with their heart space
• Problems with sensory processing very sensitive to noises, scents, textures, and colors
• Low-temperature bodily state (not due to other health causes)lower blood pressure (again not due to any foreseeable illness)

3. PLEIADIAN STARSEEDS

A species of starseed from the Pleiades star system is known as a Pleiadian.

There are seven brilliant stars in the Pleiades. Pleiadians can take an earthly form from any of the various dimensions in which they reside.

Natives of the sparkling Pleiades star cluster are extremely creative, compassionate beings. They arose in a place of passion and imagination and now reside in the fifth dimension.

They both serve as lights and sources of knowledge, guiding humanity toward the Golden Age of Transformation. As spiritual healers, they are driven to roles that require healing and integration because their heart and crown chakras pulse at such a powerful frequency.

Pleiadian Starseed Traits:

• Mild temperament and demeanor
• Humanitarians who are compassionate and soft-spoken
• Empathic: able to sense and absorb the energies of others and, when they are aligned, transform them.
• Usually tall and slim, with blonde hair and blue eyes (but individual differences do apply!
• Maybe possessing DNA that is Norse or Northern European

• Understand the polarities of male/female, yin/yang, the sun/moon, above/below, and are balanced themselves may experience food allergies, sensory problems, and anxiety when they are out of balance.

4. DRACONIAN STARSEEDS

The constellation of Draco is where draconian starseeds originate. Since the name Draco means “dragon,” numerous Draconian starseeds have ties to various sorts of reptiles and dragons.

Draco is the ancestor of the reptilian race, Lifgarians, grays, and other Draconians. While some Draconians are self-centered and some even label them as negative or “evil,” others are here to assist humanity to awaken and develop consciousness.

The trauma chain-breakers of our era are draconian starseeds. They are all here to dismantle the systems and structures that trap individuals in this never-ending cycle of suffering. On a personal level, this may manifest as choosing to speak out for the weaker among us, breaking ancestor-related patterns, or healing dysfunctional family patterns.

They make excellent therapists, educators, managers, scientists, engineers, and business leaders. If they are in the appropriate position, they can achieve a near-perfect balance between power and action in order to usher in needed change.

In particular, discussions about Grays and Reptilians will be polarizing. But YOU are the only person online who truly knows your heart!

Draconian Starseed Traits:

• Drawn to the sciences, mathematics, and technology, 
• Leaders in their professions and communities 
• Have a hard time when authority figures
• Cunning and manipulative but also desire to bring people together and work toward a shared objective 
• They are skilled at organizing and coordinating activities, and they always finish what they start.
• An affinity for reptiles, amphibians, and dragons, 
• May have lizard-like physical characteristics: thin, long faces, thin bodies, lizard-like eyes, and facial features
• Lower body temperature attracted to the warmth of the sun (prefer warmer climates)
• The ability to blend in like a “chameleon”
• Look for employment in the armed forces, government, military, architecture, and construction

(The Greys) Grey Starseed Characteristics:

It is thought that the majority of Greys living on Earth are descended from or were inhabitants of one of the planets in the Orion constellation. 

Because they have fought many devastating battles with other ETs of this world, those from Orion have a very bad reputation in most of the esoteric UFO/ET/alien literature. The so-called Orion Group is actually an Empire, and these “crusaders” established bases on Earth, Mars, and the now-destroyed Maldek.

If you’re a Grey starseed, you may have always been misunderstood because of your larger head and smaller body size, lack of body hair, and deep interest in DNA and human genetics (maybe you even have a career in this field). Other Grey starseed traits include:

• low-temperature bodily state
• an interest or occupation in healing and/or medicine 
• you may have a photographic memory
• extremely awakened spiritually
• dark brown (almost black) eyes
• you’re drawn to the Dracos constellation
• an interest or occupation in healing and/or medicine 
• You struggle with vulnerability and expressing your feelings to others
•  you perform at your best within a well-organized team

Reptilian Starseed Traits:

As high-leveled, old souls who have already lived on Earth many times, Reptilian starseeds are immensely clever.

Reptilians originate from a realm of great vibration in the Draco constellation, and they frequently have wisdom and understanding that is superior to that of humans.

Many Reptilian starseeds are said to be present on Earth right now, repairing and reversing the actions and attitudes of the Dark Reptilians who live among us.

These amazing beings have a natural ability to heal and are frequently drawn to complementary therapies like energy therapy, botanicals, and crystals. They frequently possess exceptional psychic ability and intuition.

Some common traits of Reptilian starseeds include:

• Low-temperature bodily state
• You notice that you’re cold more often than not 
• You are drawn to reptiles and amphibians, such as lizards, turtles, and snakes and you yearn for warm weather and the sun (without having thyroid or other medical conditions).

• You’re a natural leader and work well leading a team, organization, or government
• You don’t feel right being at the bottom of the hierarchy
• Inventing and creating new ways to accomplish old tasks is your thing!
• People frequently describe you as “cold” or devoid of emotions, which has caused you to be misunderstood your whole life

5. SIRIAN STARSEEDS

Since the dawn of time, the Dog Star Sirius has captivated humankind.

Sirians are a kind of Starseed that is calm, compassionate, and creative. These souls come from the planets Sirius A and Sirius B, which are both in the constellation Canis Major, or the “dog star.”

They are a race that is incredibly committed to what they believe in.

It’s interesting to think that the Sirians engaged with Ancient Egypt, contributing new technologies to the construction of the Great Pyramids and imparting their immense knowledge to the populace. Anubis, the god, is thought to have been a Sirian entity.

Sirian Starseed Traits:

• Drawn to lost civilizations and ancient cultures

• Great sense of humor and silliness
• May have cat-like, dog-like, or mermaid-like physical characteristics

6. LYRAN STARSEEDS

The Lyran starseeds, highly intelligent, advanced beings that come from Vega, the brightest planet in the Lyra constellation, are known as the original guardians of ancient knowledge.

The earliest humans are thought to have come from Lyra. Other ancient races from Lyra include the Feline and Avian races, which helped found Atlantis and ancient Egypt, as well as a great deal of the old world on Earth.

Lyrans who have not taken on the human form are often found in the upper dimensions, particularly those starting in the sixth dimension and higher.

These starseeds are the true pleasure-seekers among us, savoring the delicacies, beverages, cultures, and eccentricities of our world. They understand from their older, wiser selves that it serves no use to look back or long for the past. Instead, they only opt to focus on the present and the future.

Lyran Feline Starseed Traits:

• A catlike appearance: catlike eyes (upturned almond-shaped eyes & catlike nose)

• Dreams & visions of flying to different planes of existence or to other planets
• A birdlike appearance: you may have a thin face with a pointed/beaklike nose, etc.

7. VENUSIAN STARSEEDS

The Hathors are another name for Venusians, who reside in the fourth dimension. The Ancient Egyptian cow-goddess of love and motherhood named Hathor allegedly came from Venus and planted Venusians on Earth to anchor in compassion and love.

Venusian starseeds were here hundreds of thousands of years ago to aid humanity in its growth, particularly during the age of ancient Egypt, just as the Sirians, Pleiadians, Arcturians, and many other Starseeds were.

Along with assisting other Starseeds and all of humanity in their spiritual awakening, ascension into the five-dimensional state of being, and ascension to the new earth, this is part of their ultimate goal. One of their most admirable traits is their unmatched capacity for love, which they radiate to everyone with.

Venusian (Hathor) Starseed Traits:

• Venusian starseeds are often very tall and slender
• Sensual and passionate individuals – may have a hard time committing to one mate
• Nurturing and compassionate
• Highly spiritual beings: sometimes to a fault and need to be reminded or taught how to ground themselves (high up in their head chakras)
• Feel very connected to the universe, higher self, and guides
• Interest in outer space and ancient civilizations
• Can be labeled as “flighty”
• Huge interest in metaphysics and bringing the “new age” in
• Drawn to ancient Egypt and, namely, the goddess Hathor as well as Venus and Aphrodite
• Often attractive individuals with coveted facial features (women are very feminine and men are masculine and model-like)
• Interested in alternative healing modes, particularly using sound and ritual

8. MARTIAN STARSEEDS

A person on Earth whose soul originated on Mars is known as a Martian starseed. Because Mars is their home, Martian starseeds typically have a strong sense of loyalty to the planet.

According to legend, Martians arrived on Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago to assist in the process of human evolution.

Others contend that the presence of water on the red planet supports their theory that life once lived in this realm on Mars. The origins of Martian starseeds are disputed; little is known about them.

Few people on Earth have a strong interest in Mars. For the majority of us, this planet is distant and has little bearing on our daily survival. But if you discover that you have a strong interest in Mars and even a desire to visit it, this is a surefire indication that you are a Martian starseed.

Martian Starseed Traits:

• Being drawn to the planet Mars (finding a desire to travel there or interested in the colonization of Mars)
• Have a desire to advance the human race
• A strong connection to water and fire elements
• Have memories and dreams of being on the surface of Mars

9. ANDROMEDAN STARSEEDS

The Andromeda galaxy, which lies outside of our own, is where the Andromedan starseeds come from.

It is thought that our galaxy and theirs are connected spiritually. Andromedan starseeds are a rare breed, and there are fewer of them on Earth than other starseeds.

Andromedans are Beings of Light who are committed to bringing cutting-edge scientific advancements and all-natural healing methods to the entire Universe. They also work to promote peace and togetherness among other star nations.

In the seventh dimension, andromedans serve as defenders.

Andromedan Starseed Traits:

• Easy to talk to & great communicators
• Meek or mild in nature and mannerisms
• Laid-back personality
• Have a light aura and are often thought of as “pure” or light beings
• Act or look child-like
• Quiet or tend to “stay in the background” to observe others

• emotionally guarded and avoid conflict as much as possible
• Tall, thin earthly bodies
• Often find jobs in the arts and spiritual practices: artists, musicians, teachers, spiritual leaders, tarot readers, writers, etc.
• Carefree lifestyle

10. POLARIAN STARSEEDS

The “North Star” Polaris is where the Polarian starseeds originate.

I’ve also read books that claim the Polarians were the “first” extraterrestrial spiritual beings to inhabit this planet. They were giants back then in terms of height.

The world’s divine creators, shapeshifters, and explorers are Polarian starseeds. The ability to heal using only their energy and intentions, intention, and creative ability makes them some of the most gifted healers I’ve ever encountered.

They infuse this chaotic environment with a profound sense of calm, harmony, and balance.

They carry out their task in secrecy by blending in. They lack the magnetic personalities that occasionally characterize other varieties, including Lyran, Sirian, Arcturian, and Martian starseeds.

Polarian Starseed Traits:

• Highly spiritual individuals
• Drawn to the North Star Polaris and other dimensions
• Yearn to know more about human origins and the ascension process

• Seem to be “lucky” in finances and can gain wealth easily (but this is because they’re hard workers and team players)
• Interested in metaphysics and spiritual enlightenment
• Feel they have an important purpose on earth but sometimes don’t know what that is
• Prefer stability & shy away from sudden changes

11. HADARIAN STARSEEDS

Hadarian starseeds, a distant and ancient race of people descended from Hadar, also known as Beta Centauri, are regarded as the world’s real star travelers.

According to legend, these ethereal creatures are masters of the art of manifestation and are endowed with wisdom and knowledge that are uncommon on Earth.

The Hadarian starseeds are thought to be responsible for directing Earth’s humanitarian growth because the Arabic word hadar means “to be present,” “on the ground,” or “settled and civilized.”

They are here to spread unconditional love. According to legend, a tyrant race of aliens attacked the Hadarian planet, and the inhabitants fled to avoid being captured. Many people came here because of the trauma they experienced.

Hadarian (Beta Centaurian) Starseed Traits:

• All about LOVE, unconditional love
• Because of their loving nature, sometimes taken advantage of by others because of their pure way of loving others
• These are the individuals who want nothing more in life than to have strong relationships with others: romantic, friendships, etc.
• May come across as “hippies”, preaching free love
• Feel happier and more fulfilled when in a relationship (even if it’s a toxic one, unfortunately)
• Here to learn how to love others AND themselves along with the power of free will

• Shy or introverted until they get to know you
• Goals are not aligned with money or financial success – they want to help others
• Find jobs in the corporate world where they become a part of the team, counselors, philanthropists, humanitarians

12. ALPHA CENTAURIANS

The closest star and planetary system to ours, the Alpha Centauri star system, is where Alpha Centaurian starseeds originate.

It’s thrilling to know that science has determined Alpha Centauri contains a planet that is livable. Nevertheless, it presumably differs from Earth. The superior civilization known as the Alpha Centaurians has left some of its souls on Earth to help enhance our civilization.

The race of cosmic Alpha Centaurians is straightforward, sincere, reflective, peaceful, and moral. They adhere to a strict ascension path and want to aid others in ascending into Source consciousness.

They are physically similar to us, having light skin and medium-sized, aquamarine eyes that are incredibly sensitive. They are tall, possess big hands and feet, and also have acute hearing. Their bodies are also more slender and lightweight than ours with delicate, nimble bones.

Alpha Centaurian Starseed Traits:

• Your favorite color is purple/violet
• You have a career or are seeking a career in the scientific field
• Since you were a child, people have said you were “scary smart”
• You’ve enjoyed building and inventing things related to biology and chemistry since a young age
• Centaurs (the mythical half-man half-horse) have always fascinated you

• People tell you you’re “complicated”, particularly in romantic relationships
• You might be judgmental of others and isolate yourself because of it
• You’re mostly a quiet individual and a daydreamer
• Independent and confident

13. ANUNNAKI STARSEEDS

Online research on the Annunaki will turn up a wide variety of conspiracy ideas.

Some individuals think the Annunaki are devils, hostile aliens in charge of world control, etc. According to our understanding of the Annunaki, they are a branch off of the Sirian civilization and were first involved in the creation of humans. They are frequently considered to be Sumerian gods because of their role in the creation of the earth, particularly in ancient Sumer.

A literal translation of the term “Anunnaki” is “those from the heavens above who are in the image and likeness of the human inhabitants of the earth.“

They occasionally have a bad reputation, much like the Greys or the Reptilians. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to keep in mind that not all are bad. Each and every sentient being is priceless, and they all have something to teach us in some way.

Annunaki Starseed Traits:

• Drawn to the ancient civilizations, specifically Sumer, Babylon, Akkadia, and Assyria
• Feel as if your soul is ancient, older than humanity
• You have a strong need for ritual in your life, both mundane and spiritual
• You’re drawn to shows like Ancient Aliens, specifically when focused on the Annunaki
• You have a longing to return to the skies
• A large head and particularly large almond-shaped eyes
• You favor the air element over the others
• You’re drawn to or work with ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, and Assyrian gods like Enlil, Enki, or Inanna Ishtar
• You have ancestry from the middle east
• You’ve had dreams of flying or are able to astral project into space easily
• The feeling of wings on your back – a tingling or heavy sensation between your shoulder blades

What Kind of Starseed Are You?

So, what kind of Starseed are you? Do you believe you can come from multiple star systems or constellations?

Which of these starseed types spoke to you? Have you determined what kind of starseed you are? Maybe you felt that more than one type of starseed resonated with you (which makes complete sense since the majority of starseeds have lived on multiple planets and star systems)!

There are many different types of starseeds, however, this list cannot include them all due to the size of the cosmos. Finally, we encourage you to read more about the stars and planets to discover more about the starseed types that resonated.

The post 13 Powerful Starseed Types & Traits (Which Starseed Are You?) appeared first on Sage & Moon.

The answer may lie in the 12 Universal Laws, a set of principles that govern the workings of the universe. These laws are not just abstract concepts, but practical tools that you can use to improve your life.

The 12 Universal Laws are based on the idea that everything in the universe is interconnected and that everything is energy. Each law represents a different aspect of the universe and explains how energy operates in that aspect. By understanding and applying these laws in your life, you can create more balance, alignment, and positivity.

In this blog post, we’ll take a deep dive into each of the 12 Universal Laws, exploring what they mean and how you can apply them in your life. We’ll discuss everything from the Law of Attraction, which explains how your thoughts and emotions affect your life, to the Law of Gender, which explains how everything in the universe has both masculine and feminine energy.

1. The Law of Divine Oneness

The Law of Divine Oneness states that everything in the universe is connected.

This implies that everything is interconnected and that we are all a part of a larger whole. Knowing this law will make it easier for you to realize how your activities affect the world around you.

Gratitude is one method to put this law into effect. You are more likely to see the connections between yourself and the environment around you when you are thankful for what you already have. Realizing that everyone is interconnected and that we all share a similar humanity is another way to develop compassion.

2. The Law of Vibration

The Law of Vibration states that everything in the universe is made up of energy that vibrates at different frequencies.

Everything in the universe has its own distinctive energy signature. By grasping this fundamental law, you can unlock the power of your thoughts and emotions.

By focusing on positive thoughts and emotions, you have the ability to elevate your vibration and attract positive experiences into your life. It’s like a magnet that draws in all the good stuff! And if you surround yourself with positive people and things, you can further amplify your vibration and manifest even more positivity.

3. The Law of Inspired Action

The Law of Action states that in order to achieve your goals, you must take action.

This law says that you can’t just sit around wishing for your dreams to come true – you have to take action to make them happen! By understanding and embracing this law, you can become more proactive and empowered.

So, how can you apply this law to your life? Start by setting clear goals for yourself and taking consistent steps towards achieving them. Don’t overwhelm yourself – break your goals down into smaller, more manageable steps and focus on taking action every day. And don’t forget to seek out support from those around you who can help you on your journey to success.

4. The Law of Correspondence

The Law of Correspondence states that the outer world is a reflection of your inner world.

This means that your reality is shaped by your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. By grasping this concept, you may take charge of your ideas and feelings and design the reality you want.

You can concentrate on cultivating an uplifting inner world to utilize this law. This could entail engaging in mindfulness exercises, meditation, or other practices that increase your level of emotional and thought awareness. Affirmations and visualization exercises can also help you create the reality you want.

5. The Law of Cause and Effect

The Law of Cause and Effect states that every action has a corresponding reaction. In other words, every cause produces an effect, and every effect has a cause.

This law is essential to our understanding of the world around us and can help us to make better decisions in our lives. By recognizing the cause-and-effect relationships in our lives, we can take responsibility for our actions and the outcomes they produce.

To apply this law, we must be mindful of our actions and the potential consequences they may have. We can strive to make positive choices that will lead to positive outcomes, and avoid actions that may have negative effects on ourselves or others. Remember, every action you take has a ripple effect – so choose wisely!

6. The Law of Compensation

The Law of Compensation is a powerful principle that states that we will be rewarded in proportion to the value we provide to the world. The more we give, the more we will receive.

This law operates in all areas of life, including our careers, relationships, and personal growth. By understanding and applying this law, we can create a life of abundance and fulfillment. To apply the Law of Compensation, we must focus on creating value for others. This could mean providing excellent service to our customers, offering support to our loved ones, or developing our skills and knowledge to better serve the world.

The key is to give without expectation of reward, knowing that the universe will reward us in due time. This doesn’t mean we should be selfless and ignore our own needs – rather, we should strive to give from a place of abundance and generosity.

7. The Law of Attraction

According to the Law of Attraction, by intentionally concentrating on particular thoughts and feelings, we can attract our desires into being. Or, put another way, like attracts like – the energy we put out into the world will come back to us in the form of experiences, people, and opportunities.

To apply the Law of Attraction, we must first identify what we want and visualize ourselves already having it. Then, the idea is to focus on the positive feelings that come with achieving our goals, such as happiness, abundance, and fulfillment.

By consistently holding these positive thoughts and emotions, we can raise our vibration and attract corresponding experiences into our lives. We must also take inspired action toward our goals, trusting that the universe will provide us with the opportunities we need to succeed.

It’s important to remember that the Law of Attraction is not about wishful thinking or blindly hoping for good things to happen – it’s about taking responsibility for our thoughts and emotions and using them to create the reality we desire.

8. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy

The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy states that all energy is in a constant state of flux and is always in the process of being transformed from one form to another. Essentially, energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be changed. This law applies to all forms of energy, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy.

In practical terms, this law means that you have the power to transform any form of energy into any other form of energy.

For example, you can transform negative thoughts and emotions into positive ones by focusing your attention on things of a higher vibration (gratitude, self-love, forgiveness, etc.) and cultivating a positive mindset.

This law is closely related to the Law of Attraction, which states that you attract into your life what you focus your thoughts and emotions on. By understanding the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy, you can learn to consciously direct your thoughts and emotions toward positive outcomes and create the life you desire.

9. The Law of Relativity

The Law of Relativity states that everything we experience is relative to something else and is subjective to the observer’s perception.

This law is closely related to the theory of relativity, which was first proposed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century. The theory of relativity states that time, space, and matter are all relative to the observer’s frame of reference and that there is no absolute point of view.

The Law of Relativity applies to all aspects of our lives, including our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It teaches us that everything we experience is relative to something else and that we can only understand something in relation to something else.

For example, our perception of wealth or success is relative to the people around us. What may be considered successful in one culture or community may not be considered successful in another. Similarly, our perception of happiness is relative to our previous experiences, expectations, and other factors.

The Law of Relativity also reminds us that we have the power to change our perceptions and attitudes toward our experiences. By changing our perspective, we can transform negative experiences into positive ones and improve our overall well-being.

10. The Law of Polarity

The Law of Polarity states that everything has two opposite and complementary polarities. This law is also known as the Law of Opposites.

In simple terms, the Law of Polarity teaches us that everything has a positive and negative aspects and that these two aspects are interdependent and inseparable. For instance, hot and cold, light and dark, love and hate, and success and failure are all opposite polarities that cannot exist without each other.

This law is often applied in metaphysics and spirituality, where it is believed that the universe operates on a duality principle, and that everything we experience is a reflection of our internal polarity. Therefore, our thoughts, emotions, and actions are all subject to polarity, and we must strive to find balance between these opposing forces.

The Law of Polarity can also be applied to personal growth and development, where it teaches us that our challenges and difficulties are necessary for our growth and evolution. Without these challenges, we would not be able to appreciate the positive aspects of our lives or develop the strength and resilience to overcome future obstacles.

11. The Law of Rhythm

The Law of Rhythm states that everything in the universe operates in a rhythm or pattern; this law is also known as the Law of Perpetual Motion.

Basically, the Law of Rhythm teaches us that everything in the universe is in constant motion and that this motion follows a predictable pattern or rhythm. For example, the movement of the planets, the changing of the seasons, and the cycle of life and death are all examples of the Law of Rhythm in action.

This law also applies to our personal lives, where we experience cycles of ups and downs, highs and lows, and periods of growth and stagnation. The Law of Rhythm teaches us that these cycles are natural and necessary for our growth and development and that we must learn to flow with them rather than resist them.

The Law of Rhythm also reminds us that everything in the universe is connected and that our thoughts, emotions, and actions are all subject to this rhythm. Therefore, by aligning our thoughts, emotions, and actions with the natural rhythm of the universe, we can achieve greater harmony and balance in our lives.

All in all, the Law of Rhythm encourages us to embrace the natural cycles and rhythms of the universe, and to use them as opportunities for growth and evolution. By understanding and working with this law, we can achieve greater balance, harmony, and success in our personal and professional lives.

12. The Law of Gender

The Law of Gender states that everything in the universe has both masculine and feminine qualities. This law is also known as the Law of Polarity or the Law of Yin and Yang.

It teaches us that everything in the universe has two complementary aspects, one masculine and one feminine. These two aspects work together in a dynamic and creative way to create balance and harmony.

This law is often associated with the concept of creation and the idea that all things are created through the interaction of these two opposing forces. For example, the creation of life requires the interaction of male and female energy to bring forth a new being.

The Law of Gender also applies to our personal lives, where we all have both masculine and feminine qualities. These qualities may manifest in different ways, such as in our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By embracing and balancing these qualities within ourselves, we can achieve greater harmony and balance in our lives. This law encourages us to recognize and honor the masculine and feminine qualities within ourselves and in the world around us. By doing so, we can achieve greater harmony and creativity in all aspects of our lives.

To begin applying this law, you can focus on embracing both your masculine and feminine qualities; this might mean embracing your assertiveness and leadership qualities, as well as your nurturing and compassionate qualities. You can also practice self-awareness and become more aware of the masculine and feminine energies in yourself and others.

Key Takeaway

In conclusion, the 12 Universal Laws offer a powerful framework for understanding the workings of the universe and how you can live a more fulfilling and successful life. Each of these laws represents a different aspect of the universe, from the power of your thoughts and emotions to the cyclical rhythms of nature.

By applying these laws in your life, you can cultivate greater awareness, resilience, and positivity. You can learn to attract the things you desire, transform negative energy into positive energy, and find balance and harmony in all areas of your life. And perhaps most importantly, you can come to understand your place in the universe and the interconnectedness of all things.

Remember, the 12 Universal Laws are not just abstract concepts but are practical tools that you can use to improve your life. So take the time to learn about these laws and start applying them in your daily life!

Experiment with different techniques and find what works best for you. With time and practice, you can unlock the secrets of the universe and manifest your best life yet!

From symbols of strength and courage to messages about personal growth, connecting with your spirit animal is a powerful tool for spiritual exploration and reflection.

While “spirit animal” is a relatively modern term, its concept is one that has been around for thousands of years. Spiritual animal medicine or spirit animals are a source of support and inner healing. Believed to be a person’s teacher and protector through the cycle of life, they are here to help you navigate the ups and downs of life on Earth as you learn to discover and embrace your inner power.

According to ancient wisdom, each of us has a spirit animal that serves as an ally and guide throughout our lives. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of spirit animals or want to learn more about how to connect with yours, then read on!

Understand Your Animal’s Habitat & Behaviour

If you’re looking to connect with your spirit animal, it’s important to understand its habitat and behavior. Understanding the physical features, personality, and natural environment of the creature can help you learn its message and medicine.

This is often one of the first steps in gaining deeper insight into your spirit animal. Many animals have a set of traits or characteristics that are associated with them due to their way of life (for example, lions are associated with strength, wolves with perseverance, and owls with wisdom).

By observing where your animal lives and how it acts, you can begin to learn more about its personality and how that might fit with yours.

Consider Your Own Connections

So, what does this look like in practice?

Let’s say you’re interested in connecting with a wolf. You can start by learning about where they live—do they live in the mountains or do they prefer the forest? Then, think about how they behave—do they hunt alone or in packs? Are they territorial?

Once you’ve answered these questions, try to draw parallels between yourself and your animal—do both of you enjoy being alone or would you rather be part of a group?

Once you’ve identified some qualities that resonate with your animal spirit, consider where else in your life those qualities might show up. Are there areas where these qualities are lacking? Are there areas where they’re already strong?

Wherever those answers take you will help guide you toward understanding how best to use those traits to connect with your spirit animal.

Analyze Your Animal’s Symbolic Meanings

Aside from learning about the natural habitat and behaviors of your animal, another way to connect with your spirit animal’s presence in your life is to take a look at the different spiritual and cultural meanings connected to it.

All spirit animals have their own unique stories, teachings, and wisdom that can be used for personal development and growth. Research your spirit animal’s traditional and mythical characteristics so you can better understand its messages!

The Archetype of Your Spirit Animal

Along the same vein of getting to know the symbolism of your spirit animal, it’s also helpful to identify the archetype your animal embodies, too. This can be done by simply analyzing the traits and characteristics associated with that particular spirit animal together with its ancient symbolism.

Look for an empowering relationship between your inner self and the psyche and archetype of your animal. By doing this, you will recognize feelings, abilities, and values that will lead to a greater understanding of yourself.

In general, there are nine different archetypes for spiritual animals: the healer, the nurturer, the trickster, the leader, the healer, the guide, the warrior, the sage, and the seeker. Which of these archetypes do you feel resonates with your spirit animal?

As Always, Use Your Intuition

To truly make the most of the messages from your spirit animals, you must use your intuition when understanding them- this means looking inwards and being mindful of how your spirit animal makes you feel inside.

Does it bring a feeling of joy or peace? Or maybe even fear or sadness? Listen to what feelings come up within yourself and apply those meanings on a deeper level with your connection with the animal’s message for you.

Also, start paying attention to your dreams. Your dreams are full of symbols that represent aspects of yourself and your life, so take them seriously! Sometimes spirit animals (and spirit guides in general) can use dreams to communicate with you. The next time you wake up from a dream and remember it clearly, write down everything you can remember about it and see if anything in the dream connects back to your spirit animal.

Create a Ritual

If it feels right for you, build your own ritual around your spirit animal(s). This could include anything from burning incense in honor of the animal guide(s) who are with you today, crafting an altar or sacred space dedicated specifically for connecting with them, creating art of them, etc.

There are many ways to build a ritual around your spirit animal. You can choose the level of complexity that feels right for you, whether it’s simple or elaborate. A physical ritual might be something like dancing or singing; an emotional one could be writing a song in honor of your animal; and a mental one might involve meditating on its teachings.

Rituals can also serve as reminders that there is more than what we see with our eyes; they help us connect with the unseen world around us and celebrate our connection with nature, animals and people alike!

Get a Totem or a Picture of Your Spirit Animal

There are many ways to connect with your spirit animals, and one of the best is getting a totem or a picture of them.

A totem is an object that you find or create that represents your spirit animal. Many people opt for traditional miniature animal statues made from wood, stone, or crystal, but a totem could be anything from a painting to a piece of jewelry or even a stuffed animal.

The idea is that when you look at this totem, it will remind you of who you are and help bring out the best parts of yourself. If getting an actual physical object isn’t your style, you can also try creating your own Pinterest board or Tumblr blog filled with photos that you associate with your spirit animal!

Meditate!

One of the easiest ways to connect with your spirit animal is through meditation. Take some time out of your day when you’re not busy and just sit down in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed by anything or anyone else. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and focus on nothing but your breathing for several minutes—or as long as it takes for you to feel relaxed enough for this exercise.

Once you feel calm, begin thinking about what your spirit animal or kind of animal might represent who you are inside. Don’t think too hard about this—just let yourself go with whatever comes naturally!

After some time has passed (about 15 minutes), open your eyes again and write down everything that came into mind when thinking about these questions: what kind of animal best represents my true self? What animal am I drawn to right now and why?

Journal to Tap Into Your Subconscious

Last but not least, journaling is a powerful way to connect with your spirit animal.

When you journal, you are tapping into your subconscious mind, which is where all of your inner wisdom lives. By writing down your thoughts and feelings in the moment, you are giving yourself permission to think freely and deeply about what’s going on in your life. This can help you make connections that might not have occurred to you otherwise.

Some questions to ponder…

1. Why do I feel connected to this particular animal?
2. What was life like when this animal came to me? When/how did I find my spirit animal?
3. What traits and characteristics does this animal possess that I have within myself?
4. What traits and characteristics does this animal express that I currently do not?
5. What gifts, lessons, or inspirations does this animal offer me?

When you begin to explore and discover possible answers, it might just give you a better understanding of what your spirit animal’s purpose is in your life.

Conclusion

As you get to know your spirit animal, the more you will be able to connect with it. You can learn about its personality and what it says about who you are as a person. Spirit animals are a great way for people of all ages to understand themselves and others around them better.

Keep in mind that while there are many ways to connect with your spirit animal—and there are many different opinions on which way is best—there’s no right or wrong way. You can choose any method that feels right for you and that helps you feel at peace with yourself.

We hope you’ve enjoyed learning about your spirit animal and how to connect with it! To learn more, check out the meanings of common spirit animal omens and different spirit animals here!

The post 9 Powerful Ways to Connect with Your Spirit Animal (2025) appeared first on Sage & Moon.

Meditation has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve focus and concentration. Despite its many benefits, some people may find it challenging to begin or maintain a mindfulness meditation practice.

In this beginner’s guide, we will explore the benefits of mindfulness meditation, provide step-by-step instructions for practicing, and offer strategies for overcoming common challenges. Whether you are new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this guide will help you harness the power of mindfulness meditation to improve your overall well-being.

Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness meditation is a simple yet powerful technique that involves paying attention to the present moment, without judgment or distraction. It’s a way of training your brain to be more focused, calm, and aware.

Stress reduction is one of the key advantages of meditation. You may quiet your thoughts and lessen the body’s stress response by keeping your attention in the here and now. You can experience greater calmness, focus, and control as a result. In addition to reducing stress, practicing mindfulness can also improve your focus and concentration. By training your mind to stay in the present moment, you can improve your cognitive function, including your attention and memory. This can be helpful for tasks that require a lot of mental focus, like studying or working on a project.

The ability to control your emotions is another advantage of mindfulness meditation. You can learn to react to your thoughts and feelings in a more constructive manner by increasing your awareness of them. If you deal with anxiety, sadness, or other mood problems, this may be extremely beneficial. It can also improve your sleep. By reducing the physiological arousal that often accompanies stress, you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, which can be especially useful if tension or anxiety prevents you from falling asleep.

In addition to these advantages, practicing mindfulness meditation can boost resilience, lower blood pressure, and help with pain control. Regular mindfulness practice can improve your sense of well-being generally and give you more confidence to face problems in life.

Overall, mindfulness meditation is a powerful tool for improving your mental and physical health. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, or just need to take a break and unwind, mindfulness meditation can help you feel more present, calm, and centered.

Steps to Practicing Mindfulness Meditation

STEP ONE / SET YOUR SPACE

Ideally, the first step to practicing any form of meditation is to find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed – this could be a whole spare room dedicated to meditation, a corner of your bedroom or living room, or even somewhere outside.

STEP TWO / FIND A POSITION THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Next, choose a comfortable position that allows you to relax and focus on your breathing. You can sit cross-legged on a cushion, sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground, or lie down on a yoga mat in Savasana. It’s important to choose a position that you can maintain for at least 5-10 minutes (and maybe longer) without feeling any discomfort!

STEP THREE / SET A TIMER FOR YOUR MEDITATION

This step is totally optional, but it definitely helps when first starting out! Before you begin your meditation session, set a timer for the amount of time you want to meditate. Most people find it helpful to start with just 5-10 minutes; you can gradually work your way up to longer sessions as you become more comfortable with the practice!

STEP FOUR / CLOSE YOUR EYES & FOCUS ON YOUR BREATHING

Once you’re settled and your timer is set, close your eyes and start to focus on your breathing. Take a few deep breaths, and then let your breath settle into its natural rhythm – focus your attention on the sensation of the breath moving in and out of your body.

STEP FIVE / NOTICE WHEN YOUR MIND STARTS TO WANDER

As you focus on your breathing, you may notice that your mind starts to wander. This is perfectly normal and happens to everyone! When you notice your mind wandering, simply acknowledge the thought and then gently bring your attention back to your breath.

STEP SIX / PRACTICE NON-JUDGEMENTAL AWARENESS

As you meditate, it’s important to cultivate a sense of non-judgmental awareness. This means that you observe your thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad. Simply notice them, acknowledge them, and then let them go.

STEP SEVEN / END YOUR SESSION WITH GRATITUDE

When your timer goes off, slowly open your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Take a moment to appreciate the time you’ve taken for yourself and the benefits of your practice. Thank your body and mind, and carry that sense of peace and calm with you as you go about your day!

Overcoming Common Challenges

While mindfulness meditation has numerous benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep quality, and boosting your overall well-being, it can also present some challenges. Here are some common obstacles you might encounter when practicing mindfulness meditation, and how to overcome them:

1. FINDING TIME TO MEDITATE

One of the most significant obstacles people face when trying to establish a mindfulness meditation practice is finding the time to do it. Many people feel like they don’t have enough time in their day to fit in meditation, but the truth is that you don’t need much time to meditate.

Start by setting aside just five minutes a day to meditate. You can gradually increase the duration of your practice as you become more comfortable with it. You can also try meditating in the morning before you start your day or at night before going to bed.

2. DEALING WITH DISTRACTIONS

Another challenge people face when meditating is dealing with distractions. Whether it’s outside noise, an itch, or a racing mind, distractions can make it challenging to stay focused on your meditation.

When you encounter distractions, try not to judge them or get frustrated. Instead, acknowledge them, and then gently guide your attention back to your breath or your chosen point of focus. It’s normal for your mind to wander during meditation, so don’t beat yourself up about it. The more you practice, the easier it will become to stay focused.

3. AVOIDING SELF-CRITICISM

Many people struggle with self-criticism when meditating. They may feel like they’re not doing it right or that they’re not making progress fast enough.

It’s important to remember that mindfulness meditation is a practice, and there’s no such thing as doing it “right” or “wrong.” The goal is not to achieve a particular state of mind but to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment. If you find yourself engaging in self-criticism, try to be gentle and compassionate with yourself. Remember that it takes time and practice to cultivate mindfulness.

4. OVERCOMING BOREDOM

Sometimes, meditation can feel boring or monotonous, especially if you’re used to constant stimulation from your phone or other devices. However, learning to sit with boredom can be an essential part of the mindfulness meditation practice.

If you find yourself getting bored, try to observe the feeling without judgment. You might even try exploring the boredom, noticing where you feel it in your body, and observing any thoughts or feelings that arise. The key is to stay present and observe your experience without trying to change it.

5. STICKING WITH THE PRACTICE

Finally, one of the most significant challenges people face with mindfulness meditation is sticking with it over the long term. It’s easy to get excited about a new practice, but it can be challenging to maintain the motivation to continue over time.

One way to stay motivated is to set small, achievable goals for yourself. For example, you might aim to meditate for five minutes a day for a week, then gradually increase the duration of your practice. You might also find it helpful to join a meditation group or find a meditation partner to help keep you accountable.

In conclusion, mindfulness meditation can be an incredibly rewarding practice, but it’s not always easy. By recognizing and addressing common challenges, such as finding time to meditate, dealing with distractions, avoiding self-criticism, overcoming boredom, and sticking with the practice, you can establish a consistent meditation practice and reap the many benefits of mindfulness.

Key Takeaway

In conclusion, mindfulness meditation is a simple yet powerful practice that can help you cultivate a greater sense of inner peace, calm, and well-being in your daily life. By focusing your attention on the present moment and observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment, you can develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation skills, and mental clarity and focus.

Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, improve your sleep quality, or enhance your relationships with others, mindfulness meditation can help you achieve your goals. Start with just a few minutes a day and gradually increase the duration of your practice as you become more comfortable with it.

With time and practice, you may be surprised at how much mindfulness meditation can transform your life!

The post The Power of Mindfulness Meditation: A Guide to Practicing (2024) appeared first on Sage & Moon.

One of the first steps in understanding how to work with the Moon is knowing what phase the Moon is currently in. There are four main phases: new moon (dark/zero illumination), first quarter (half light/half dark), full moon (full illumination), and last quarter (half dark/half light). On average, a complete cycle takes approximately 29.5 days from one new moon to the next new moon.

The phases are one of the most iconic and important ways to track the movement of the moon; each phase has its own meaning and significance, which can be used as a guide when making important life decisions, tracking your menstrual cycle, timing rituals or spellwork, and more!

In astrology, the Moon represents the unconscious mind, your instincts, and your inner self. It has a profound impact on our moods and emotions, as well as our thoughts and dreams. Adding even further depth to the natal chart, the phase of the moon when we were born (not just the sign and house placement) can tell us a lot about our lives and personalities.

In real-time, the phases of the Moon can also influence how we feel about ourselves and others, which can affect our decisions and actions. In general, new moons and full moons are considered to be the most significant moon phases, while the other six moon phases are more subtle shifts in energy that happen over the course of each month. Throughout any given lunar cycle, the Moon is a natural way to keep tabs on your emotional and energetic state.

Read on to learn more about all eight moon phases and their spiritual meanings!

New Moon

The New Moon phase occurs when the Moon appears completely dark during its cycle. It marks the onset of a new lunar cycle, which means that it’s an opportunity for renewal and beginnings.

When the Moon is new, we feel like it’s a good time to take a break from all that has been going on before. This is a great time for personal reflection and setting intentions for yourself, or for the month ahead. As the first phase, the New Moon beckons you to start fresh and let go of the old so you can embrace all the beautiful things the universe has in store for you!

Waxing Crescent

The Waxing Crescent Moon is associated with growth because it occurs when the crescent is growing from nothing up to fullness (waxing means growing or increasing). You may have noticed this pattern in your life; every time you start something new it starts as a seedling — small, vulnerable, and fragile — but over time it grows into something more substantial until finally, it reaches its full potential.

Similar to the New Moon, this phase corresponds with new beginnings and fresh starts, and the waves of growth that ensue. You may feel motivated to make changes or start new projects during this time. The Waxing Crescent Moon is a time of hope and building upon the new foundations you set forth during the New Moon. It’s when you have an opportunity to evolve, make changes, and create something new. The Waxing Crescent phase is all about growth and encourages you to let go of things that are no longer serving you in favor of new opportunities.

First Quarter Moon

The First Quarter Moon occurs when the Moon’s illuminated half has moved past the boundary between Earth’s shadow and sunlight. At this point, the Moon appears half illuminated by the Sun and half in shadow. The First Quarter also means that the Moon is halfway done waxing (growing) to a full lunation.

The First Quarter Moon carries several meanings across different cultures and religions – in some cultures, it represents a time of renewal and beginnings. In others, it symbolizes wealth and abundance. And in some other cultures, it signifies strength and power, but also great responsibility.

Most often, however, the First Quarter Moon is associated with action: things are happening now! We must use this energy wisely if we want to reach our goals successfully. In this phase, we can expect things to be getting better. The Moon’s light grows stronger as it gets closer to full strength. This can bring out feelings of happiness and positivity in people, and it often brings on changes in behavior. People might feel more energetic or like they have more energy to do things they haven’t done before. They might feel more inclined to socialize with others or go out into nature if they’re feeling down about life in general right now.

Waxing Gibbous

The Waxing Gibbous Moon signifies progress: things are moving forward! You can see how much closer you are getting to achieving whatever goal or dream you had set out for yourself at New Moon. This phase has light, bright, and positive energy. Like the Waxing Crescent and First Quarter phases, the Waxing Gibbous is leading up to (or growing toward) the Full Moon, indicating expansion and growth.

The Waxing Gibbous Moon phase is a good time to expand on existing projects as it suggests that you’re ready for more in your life! During this time, you may find yourself feeling more energetic or productive than usual. You may also notice that you feel more spirited and inspired. If you have big plans for the future or are working toward any goals, now is the perfect time to make them happen!

Full Moon

The Full Moon represents completion. It is associated with abundance, fertility, growth, and regeneration. The seeds of intention sown under the New Moon come to blossom under the fullness of the Moon.

In this phase, clarity and awareness rise. It allows you to see things clearly without any distractions or obstacles blocking your path forward. You’ll have a clear vision of what needs to be done in order to move forward with ease. This lunar energy can also help you get rid of any negativity that may have been holding you back in some way or another; it will help you clean up any messes that need fixing so they don’t continue to cause problems down the road!

The Full Moon is also known to give us more energy than usual (this is why people tend to feel more lively around Full Moons). Since the Moon is brimming at its brightest, this can also be a time when you are more sensitive than usual. If something doesn’t feel right to you, trust your instincts!

Waning Gibbous

The Waning (or decreasing) phases of the Moon represent preparing for renewal. The Waning Gibbous Moon is the first of the waning lunar phases, which occurs after the Full Moon when the Moon’s light begins to shrink towards the dark or new moon. The Waning Gibbous Moon has been associated with a time of rest, relaxation, and completion. It may also be associated with endings, especially those that are emotionally or physically draining.

This phase symbolizes reflection, assessment, and release. Leading up to the New Moon, the Waning Gibbous phase through the Waning Crescent are ideal times for looking inward, taking stock of your life, and letting go of things that do not serve you.

Last Quarter Moon

The Last Quarter Moon is the second to last phase of the lunar cycle. The energy of this phase continues to guide us toward getting rid of what we no longer want or need in our lives and making space for a fresh start.

The Last Quarter Moon is associated with endings that may come as a surprise or from an unexpected source. You may want to ask yourself if there are any changes you should make in order to feel better about where you are now. Or maybe there are habits or relationships that could use some improvement? If so, now is an excellent time to start making those changes!

As the Moon nears darkness, it is a beautiful time to sit still and reflect on the things you’ve learned over the past lunar cycle, as well as what you want to learn next. It’s a time of catharsis as well as being open to new ideas. As you reflect on what is ending or being released, consider what new beginnings await you.

Waning Crescent

The last phase of the Moon is the Waning Crescent, which comes just before a New Moon (and therefore the start of a new lunar cycle). This is considered to be one of the most powerful times for inner healing and shadow work, as you may feel the pull to let go of anything that isn’t working in your life. The Waning Crescent is all about moving on and is a great time to clear out the clutter in your life — whether that’s physical or emotional — so you can make space for new things to come.

This phase is also a great time to connect with your intuition and listen to what your body and soul need. While the Waxing Crescent Moon can be a time of building up energy and starting new projects or cycles, the Waning Crescent is for reflecting on your actions over the past Moon cycle and making sure they are aligning with what brings you happiness in life.

Because you’re so close to a New Moon, this is a good time for beginning to get organized, think about what goals you might set for yourself during the New Moon, and get ready for your next big project. Think about what you want to accomplish and what steps you need to take to get there.

The Waning Crescent is also associated with the Goddess Isis, who was known for her wisdom and healing abilities. As you step into this phase, consider what wisdom you need right now — from yourself or others — and ask yourself what you can do to heal.

“Each moon phase has a specific energy and can tell you something about your current or coming month.”

The Moon is a beautiful, powerful force — and you can use its phases to your advantage. Whether you’re using the Moon’s energy to bring about a specific change in your life or as a way to focus your intention, knowing how to work with the phases of the Moon is a potent way to more deeply connect with yourself, others, and the rhythms of Mother Nature.

The post Moon Phase Meanings (A Beginner’s Guide) [2024] appeared first on Sage & Moon.

When an animal delivers an omen to you, it is believed that the animal is a messenger from the spirit world. A particular animal might appear at a time when you need guidance or confirmation, or it could show up to warn you of danger ahead.

Oftentimes, animal omens are based on how animals live and behave in nature. Their environments, habits, and natural instincts can give us clues about their meanings. For instance, seeing a scorpion may be a sign that you’re going to go through a transformative time soon but you will have the strength to get through it. You can usually identify a warning from an animal if they seem to act abnormally or if they’re seen doing things they wouldn’t normally do. For example, if a cat washes its face before eating or if a dog howls at the moon, those could be considered signs that something unfavorable may happen soon.

Sometimes animal omens can come from your animal spirit guides (aka spirit animals), “who appear when we need love, strength, support, inspiration, and guidance”, according to Shamanic Practitioner Bernadette King. Animal omens and spirit animals differ from Totem Animals (who you ‘are’) and Power Animals (spiritual energy you can invoke). In this post, we’ll be covering animal omens.

When animals show up on your journey, these omens may offer divine guidance and lessons and can provide deep insights into our lives. Read on to learn more about the ancient symbolism behind eleven common animal omens and what they might mean for you on your path!

Owl: Wisdom & Intuition

Owl omens draw on the wisdom of our ancestors and they can be used to help us understand the meaning of a situation or to give us insight into the future.

Owls are often associated with wisdom, knowledge, and magic. Owls are also considered to be messengers from the spirit world, as they can see things that other animals cannot. Owl omens can represent spiritual awakening, intuition, insight into the dark side of life, or even death (metaphorically or literally). In some cultures, including many Indigenous American tribes, they are seen as symbols of bad luck, disease, or dying (for example, an owl hooting at night is considered to be an omen of looming death).

However, owls have also been associated with good fortune in some cultures such as ancient Greece, where owls were believed to bring good luck if kept in the home. They are also often associated with witches and wizards in folklore, as well as with goddesses like Artemis, Athena, and Minerva. More generally, the owl is often associated with sage advice and has a long history of representing wisdom, intelligence, and intuition in cultures around the world.

Owl omens can be interpreted in many different ways depending on what it means to you. For example, if you are having trouble sleeping or if you have insomnia, then seeing or hearing an owl may indicate that you should take some time out for yourself and relax for a while. Seeing an owl in your dream or waking life can signify that you need to act on your inner guidance and trust your instinctive wisdom as it could help guide you to better outcomes. If you are going through a rough patch in your life, especially if you’ve been feeling lonely, then seeing an owl may mean that things will get better soon – for now, trust in yourself and the universe to guide you.

Deer: Gentleness, Alertness, & Swiftness

Deer are often associated with beauty, intuition, grace, gentleness, and alertness. As an omen, they can symbolize the need to stay sharp and be on alert for potential changes in your life. They also represent swiftness and decisiveness. Seeing a deer might suggest that you need to make a quick decision in the near future.

In many cultures, it is also associated with wisdom, and in some cases, even luck. The deer is a symbol of God’s creation, and its elegance and gentleness are traits that many humans can aspire to have. The deer is also an ancient symbol of feminine energy, which means that it’s often associated with the moon or cycles in our lives. This can be seen in many cultures around the world, where the deer is linked to fertility rituals and other celebrations of women’s power.

Seeing a deer can be a positive omen of the birthing of new beginnings and standing nobly in one’s own power; it may also be an indication that you will soon be blessed with good news about your love life or children. Deer are also associated with creativity due to their ability to jump over obstacles without any difficulty or effort. If there are no obstacles in your path, seeing a deer suggests that you should take advantage of opportunities while they’re still available so that you can increase your chances of success later on down the road. However, if you are met with any challenges, Deer encourages you that you can get through them with poise and ease.

Deer omens come in many different forms. Like most animal omens, some people see them as an omen of bad luck or danger, while others them as a sign of something good coming their way, such as a fresh start or increasing wealth.

Rabbit: Fear and Nervousness

The rabbit is considered by most to be an extremely lucky animal. Rabbits are an omen of fertility, life, abundance, and renewal. They also represent the feminine principle and love. The rabbit frequently brings news of happiness and success.

In Western culture, rabbits are often seen as symbols of fertility because they have large litters of offspring at one time. Because they give birth so rapidly, they have been associated with fast solutions to problems and a quick wit.

To the Chinese, rabbits are seen as having special powers over wealth and good fortune because they have been known to dig up precious metals such as silver or gold while they were burrowing underground. In Greek mythos, the rabbit is said to be blessed with “the gift of Aphrodite” due to its abundant procreative abilities. Rabbits are also believed to be sacred to Eros and can be an omen of insatiable desire, love, and romance. It can represent a person in your life who is creative, intuitive, gentle, and amorous.

As a warning, the rabbit can sometimes be an omen of fear and nervousness, representing avoidance in certain situations. In ancient myths, the rabbit was seen as an agent of deceit or temptation because of its ability to camouflage itself from predators. In Indian folklore, there is a story about how the god Vishnu took on the form of a rabbit to hide from an evil demon who wanted to eat him. This symbolism still carries over today – rabbits often represent a fear of facing an unknown future, representing feelings that are preventing growth and development. Seeing a rabbit might be telling you to confront your inner worries in order to move forward with confidence.

Fox: Cunningness

Foxes are one of the most mysterious animals in the world. Cunning and wise, these animals can be both gentle and fierce. The fox is a powerful symbol of intelligence and craftiness. In some ancient cultures, the fox was considered to be a creature of prophecy – capable of predicting certain events and guiding people through difficult times. They were seen as messengers of the gods or spirits with the ability to cross between the spirit world and our world. Associated with magic, witchcraft, and healing, they are also believed by many to be able to telepathically communicate with animals and humans alike.

Seeing a fox is a positive sign that you are growing in wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Sometimes, foxes can appear as a warning against someone who is cunning or sly, so beware (especially if you dream of being chased by a fox!).

As an omen, the fox may indicate that you are dealing with a situation where you need to be shrewd in order to succeed, or that you have come across an opportunity that requires strategic and creative thinking. You may need to “keep your cards to your chest” so to speak, and be mindful of what you share with others and who you share with. Sometimes, the fox can come as a warning to suggest that everything is not as it appears – deceit (whether intentional or unintentional) may be at play. Beware of any trickery or illusion in your life. You or someone else may be hiding their true intentions behind a mask of innocence.

Cat: Curiosity, Independence, and Magic

A cat is a creature of mystery. Their independence, their aloofness, and their inherent ability to be both loving and vicious at the same time make them mysterious.

Cats are often believed to be omens of protection. To the ancients, they were often seen as spiritual guardians or protectors who can bring their owners good fortune and prosperity. The Egyptians believed cats were sacred animals, closely associated with the goddess Bastet or Pasht. She was a lunar goddess of fertility who sometimes took on the form of a cat or lioness. Cats were mummified in the same way as humans and even buried with their owners in the hope that they would provide protection for them in the afterlife.

Many cultures believe that cats have psychic abilities such as clairvoyance (seeing into the future), precognition (seeing events before they happen), or even telepathy (reading minds). They can see ghosts and multi-dimensional beings that our eyes can’t, and they are thought to guard us against (or help us connect to) these entities. So when a cat appears to you as an omen, it often indicates that you need to trust in your own intuition when making important decisions. Pay close attention to the current situation, and take notice of any subtle messages which could be guiding you toward a particular outcome. You may also need to protect yourself energetically.

Although not entirely solitary animals, cats are highly independent and autonomous. Seeing a cat can be a sign to embrace your independence and be more authentic when dealing with others. If you have issues with people-pleasing or co-dependency, the cat is an omen to start living your life on your own terms – do what YOU want, not what everyone else wants!

Less commonly, cats can show up as “negative” omens or warnings of evil energy and bad luck including disaster, disease, and poverty. Black cats in particular are often perceived to be bad omens around the world due to their association with witchcraft (black cats were once believed to be witches in feline form), however, others believe them to be symbols of agility, power, and security.

Bear: Strength & Protection

The bear is a very common animal omen that is seen in a variety of cultures. The bear is known for its strength, endurance, and tenacity. It represents the ability to protect oneself and others from harm. The bear is a protector spirit, like the wolf and dog. It is wise enough to know when it needs help and strong enough to accept it when it does come along.

The bear symbolizes strength and power, which are two characteristics that are highly sought after. Bear animal omens mean that you will have great strength to overcome your problems. It can also mean that you are afraid of facing your fears and that you need to be more courageous; you are more capable than you may realize! It may also be a sign of good luck and prosperity heading your way. The bear is considered to be one of the most auspicious omens in Chinese culture, as it is associated with blessings such as success, fortune, and happiness.

Another omen of the bear is that someone close to you has been healed from illness or disease and is now in good health again. Seeing a bear cub can suggest that something new is coming into your life soon. You may also be having second thoughts about something important regarding either yourself or someone else involved with this situation at this time (someone close to you). The advice of the bear is to protect your boundaries and seek the guidance of someone you trust if you need it.

Sometimes, the bear can come to you as a warning. Warnings about being smothering or over-protective with your loved ones, getting angry too easily or being too aggressive when talking to people or dealing with problems, and even people who might be trying to take advantage of your kindness can all be cautionary omens of the bear.

Raccoon:

Raccoons are intelligent, playful, and curious animals. They are nocturnal and have a very acute sense of smell. They are also opportunistic omnivores who will eat most things, including insects, small mammals, birds, fish, and plants.

While Raccoons are considered to be good luck by some cultures because of their cleverness and ability to survive in difficult conditions, they are also considered to be bad luck by others because they are sometimes destructive when they raid garbage cans or when they attack poultry farms.

Most often, Raccoon animal omens are a sign that you need to be careful of what you are doing. You may find that this animal is trying to warn you about someone in your life who has lied to you or cheated on you. It could be a lover, family member, or friend who has done something negative behind your back. Raccoon is usually a major signal of the need to be more cautious when dealing with people in the workplace or social life – you may have been too trusting and now find yourself in trouble because of it.

The next common meaning of a raccoon omen is that there will be some sort of conflict in your life soon, however, this conflict will be resolved with ease once it happens. If you dream about seeing this animal, then it means that there will be no problems when dealing with this issue at all! You may feel otherwise, but Raccoon can reveal that things are working in your favor, even if it doesn’t appear that way at the moment.

Another less common meaning of a raccoon animal omen is that something favorable will come your way soon – this can be a financial gain or just general good fortune. If you see this animal in your dreams, then it is also said that you will have good luck with money or wealth in some form. If you’ve been working toward these things, Raccoon is a sign that your efforts will be rewarded.

Frog:

Frogs can be found in almost every region of the world and are common in many cultures. They are often associated with fertility, life, prosperity, and good fortune. Frogs are also seen as harbingers of rain and they play an important role in the lives of many different human societies.

Frog omens are generally considered to be very lucky because it is believed that frogs bring prosperity, wealth, and fertility. The frog can produce thousands of eggs at one time while remaining healthy and happy, so ancient Chinese people believed that frogs were good omens and could bring them great fortune if they captured one and kept it in their homes.

This animal is known for its ability to survive in any environment as it can live on land or in water. This is why it is used as a symbol of adaptability, flexibility, and survival skills. Because frogs are able to change their skin when they need to do so, they are believed to have transformative, healing powers too, similar to the Snake. In some cultures, frogs have been revered as gods or have been used in healing rituals and ceremonies.

Generally, frogs are often omens of transformation, new beginnings, and success. When you see frogs, it means that your life is about to change for the better.

Snake:

Snake is a symbol of transformation, wisdom, and rebirth. Snakes are also considered to be great healers and psychics since they have been associated with the power of the feminine since ancient times, along with other symbols such as the egg, the moon, and water.

In the Bible, snakes represent temptation, evil, and Satan himself. Some cultures view the snake as a negative omen of deception and betrayal, however, to many the snake is a powerful, positive omen of fertility and the birth of something new. They also represent wisdom and esoteric knowledge that comes from deep introspection.

The snake is an animal omen that brings good luck when seen by someone who is pregnant or trying to get pregnant. It can also bring good luck if seen by someone who suffers from chronic pain or illness if they see one slithering across their path or even just crawling around near them, as the snake signals healing.

The snake is an ancient symbol of transformation, rebirth, and renewal. It sheds its skin, symbolizing the ability to shed old habits and move forward. Snakes are a common omen for those who want to let go of something, whether it be a relationship or some other aspect of their life that they feel is holding them back.

A warning from the snake can mean that temptation, greed, and materialism are having a negative effect on your life. Seeing a snake can be a sign that you need to slow down, get rid of things that aren’t useful, or add more balance to your routine. If you see a snake, ask yourself: what area of my life needs attention right now? What needs to change? What parts of myself/my life do I need to let go of?

The most frequent meaning of the snake omen is that you need to transform yourself in order to make progress in your life. Snake often appears when you may be clinging to the past, outdated relationships, or unhealthy habits which are no longer serving you. Snake says to you, release! Shed the old and make room for the new.

Dove:

Doves are an omen of peace, love, and harmony.

Seeing a dove indicates that you should keep your hopes high and not give up on something that you want to achieve. If you’ve been stressed or dealing with a difficult situation lately, a dove can mean that things will begin to resolve soon. Do what you can to restore balance and serenity in your life.

The dove is associated with many different religions and cultures throughout history. In Christianity, it represents the Holy Spirit and purity of heart. In Buddhism, it represents equanimity and serenity. In Hinduism, it represents wisdom, grace, and beauty. The Chinese believed the white doves were messengers between heaven and earth, while Native Americans saw them as messengers from God. Hearing or seeing a dove is sometimes an omen that you or someone close to you will be visited by an angel or spirit guide who will help them find their way back to God or their higher self. Doves can be a sign that your spirit guides or angels are nearby. For many, seeing or hearing a dove is frequently a message of loving support from the Spirit.

Doves are also known as the “morning” bird and have been seen as an omen of good luck, good fortune, and happiness for centuries around the world. If you see a white dove fly across your path or if you dream of seeing doves flying in groups, this signifies prosperity and harmony, especially within the family circle.

The dove is also a symbol of romantic love and devotion due to its association with the Greek goddess Aphrodite. If you have recently had a dove omen, it could be a sign that you will soon have love returned or find someone who can offer you peace in your life. Doves are also a symbol of fidelity, so if you see one, it can confirm that your lover is faithful to you.

Lizard:

Lizards are found all over the world and are believed to be one of the oldest species on Earth. The lizard is seen as a symbol of wisdom because it has been around since the time of dinosaurs – this ancient animal has survived many changes over the years and has seen many things come and go. They have been worshiped by many civilizations in the past, but now they are considered pests in some parts of the world.

Similar to the Snake and the Frog, Lizards are an omen of change. The shedding of their old skins represents rebirth and renewal, which can happen within us when we shed our former selves. Some lizards have the ability to grow their tails back after being completely severed. Seeing a lizard can indicate that you are going through a period of great inner and outer growth. You may have had to cut off certain things in your life recently or handle a lot of pain, and Lizard assures you that you are so strong and your life is changing for the better. Trust in the person you are becoming.

Most lizards are also known for their ability to change their skin color to blend into their surroundings which allows them to hide from predators and become invisible when approaching prey. They can lie in plain sight and blend into their surroundings very easily. Lizards represent camouflage and adaptability, which can help you blend into any situation or environment without being noticed by others.

Associated with the Sun, which is a source of light, warmth, and energy, the lizard is an omen of enlightenment, good fortune, and protection from forces that wish to do you harm. If you see a lizard while walking through your home or while outside in nature, it means that someone or something is protecting you from harm at that moment in time. Luck is on your side.

Sometimes the lizard comes as a warning that someone is hiding something, someone is not being honest with themselves or others, or someone is being devious. Lizards can be omens associated with deception and manipulation by others. If you have had a lizard animal omen then it could mean that someone close to you is trying to manipulate your emotions in order to get what they want out of life.
