Whether in the form of animal companions, animals in the wild, or even in bronze, our animal brethren always have a message to share with us.
Turtles symbolize patience, slowing down, and self-reflection. They are often synonymous with the Earth, the beginning of time, and creation. The wise ones of the animal kingdom, Turtles carry their homes on their backs and are one of the few animals that can fully retreat into their own shell.
Until May 22 we find ourselves in a period of Mercury in Retrograde, often characterized by confusion and a sense that we are taking steps backwards.
Retrogrades are great times to retreat within and examine our emotions - both light and dense - that want to be acknowledged, processed, and healed.
During this time of introspection, call upon Turtle to show us how to be patient with ourselves, our animal companions, and others, as we work through bigger energetic patterns that are ready to be released. Ask Turtle to show up as a gentle reminder that home is where the heart is, and that the heart truly is home.
If you find yourself feeling frustrated, impatient, or out of balance during this time, remember that all you have to do is go within, because like Turtle, you hold the wisdom of the world within your own shell.
