Immediate past
Card: Lynx
Discernment
Look beyond immediate appearances
You have been missing something by the focus you have placed on the outward appearance of the situation or the people in your life. This can mean that you have not been ready to move on but perhaps instead have been focused on the last relationship that you were in or obsessing about finding that special someone. Instead of placing the emphasis on what was readily obvious you need to have been looking deeper to see what underlying messages were actually out there for you.
Often there is more to the story than meets the eye and appearances can be deceiving. There may have been someone in your life that you failed to take notice of as your time was spent wondering about the future. Things that were “hidden” may be now coming into light. Your instincts also may have been playing a major part in your life recently and depending how if you trusted them or not, may have affected how things were.
The number 11 may have been in play in your immediate past. This may take some looking back to see if fact this is the case.
Current Situation
Card: Fox
Adaptability
Adapt to the changes that are happening
You need to utilize the skills you have learned from your past life experiences to not get stuck in a single mindset or rigid thinking. Patterns of familiar actions/reactions and emotional traps need to be avoided. If you find yourself heading that direction, you need to pull yourself back and take a look at what you are doing. You need to remain flexible right now and adapt to circumstances rather than trying to control them and forcing them to adapt to you.
The future holds unlimited possibilities but you need to relax, go with the flow and let things happen. This will require adjusting your attitudes and actions and letting yourself go to being more open and willing. Life will happen and can be a wonderful thing if you will only let it. It knows what it is doing and you need to stop fighting the way things are and trying to force change. If you can trust that, and whether it moves slowly or swiftly, life will become much easier.
Like the fox, your senses are very sharpened. If you listen you can often hear what isn’t being said, by sight you can frequently size people very accurately and sometimes “smell” if a situation isn’t right. Trust your instincts. Additionally, you may find yourself being very territorial right now. Your home, space or your life is like your “den” and you may be very cautious of letting anyone in.

Are you wearing rose-colored glasses?
The bear has a great fondness for honey. Honey is the natural sweetness of life. Go within yourself and bring out in the open your inner being and let the honey of life to be tasted.
