My Gorgeous, Wise Fox Animal Totem

The past 6 months or so, I've been really into doing new moon ceremonies. It's been a powerful and beautiful addition to my "creatress" skill set especially since the moon is associated with feminine energy. I enjoy learning about the different aspects of ourselves each new moon allows us to focus on. On May 28, we welcomed the Gemini New Moon, and I was particularly excited about welcoming this new moon since Gemini is my ascendant and this symbolizes curiosity, learning, details, observation, which are definitely a huge part of my spiritual path right now. 

During the meditation part of my Gemini New Moon ceremony, I was interested to see a gorgeous female fox that came to me. Communicating with animals fascinates me, as does the changing of our animal totems and guides throughout our life, representing such a wide array of beautiful things to help us. I had never had a fox come to me in meditation before, so I was very curious to see what her message was.

The first thing I noticed was that she was breathtakingly gorgeous, and I was entranced. I've always had a deep love and fondness for foxes and think they are very magical, enchanting creatures. She climbed up a white staircase and I followed her. We sat down together, looked into each others' eyes, and began to communicate. She definitely had an air of wisdom and grace that drew me in. 

I noticed 2 cubs hiding under her belly. They came out and started playing. She asked me to look at them and tell her what I saw. I saw that they were beautiful, like her, and having a lot of fun. I also noticed one was male and one was female, and that even when an invisible wall was placed between them, they imitated each other perfectly in sync. Her messages to me were based on my observations, and she elaborated a little. 

She said the cubs were born foxes and would grow up to be foxes even without her help, but they would learn so much more if they listened to her, followed her example, and partook of her motherly love and wisdom. She said that I was born a goddess and would always be so because of my birthright, but my gifts would be so much better defined if I involved Mother Goddess every step of the way and used all possible resources given to me. I am also supposed to channel my 'inner foxiness' and remember what a beautiful goddess I am all the time.

The two cubs represented always aiming for perfect balance of masculine and feminine energy in my life, and also twin flames, who might not always see each other physically, but are in perfect sync energetically. Additionally, they represented the joy and pleasures of life, having fun on my journey and breathing in every blessed moment. It was a very beautiful and meaningful meditation ceremony. I don't get to talk to a foxy fox every day. ;)

Later that day I had 3 unusual fox references, which happily validated that indeed I had communicated with a fox! The first reference was while I was making dinner and noticed the brand of the asparagus I had. It was ‘Foxy Organic’. I kind of had a mini freak out of joy because I love the signs the Universe sends you out of nowhere to let you know you're right on track!


The second reference happened while I was doing dishes. On one of the plates, I noticed a picture of a fox that I had never noticed before. Wow! Where did you come from, little fox?!

The third reference happened when I needed to change something on my car rental reservation for the next day in San Diego. I pulled out my reservation paperwork and realized that it was Fox Rent A Car! What?? Three fox references within 4 hours of each other? Wild! And no coincidence, let me tell you.



In the "new age lightworker's world", references of 3 are veeeery important to pay attention to, and especially if they are within a few hours of each other. If this ever happens to you, just know that this is NO coincidence; the Universe, God, Goddess, angels, etc have a very specific message for you. In this case, they were confirming to me that I had received wisdom from a beautiful fox and I was to pay attention to this gift. It was very validating...and fun!

I had even more fun when I looked up the symbolic meanings associated with the fox totem. Some of her symbolism that is significant for me at present, (and also correlates very well with the Gemini New Moon)--
  • Increased awareness and observation of all the senses and faculties
  • Curiosity and cleverness
  • Call to be discerning
  • Wisdom
  • Ability to find your way around barriers and perceive solutions to problems
  • Sharpness of your mental skills and analytical intelligence
  • Utilize all your resources, the seen and the unseen in order to accomplish your goals
  • Be fluid and adaptable
  • Intensely loyal and energetic
  • Celtic guide
  • Good eating habits and increased health
  • Luck
  • Have fun while working
  • Celebrate our foxiness
  • Maintain balance and harmony in everything you do and with our surroundings
  • Fox’s keen eyesight helps us perceive the different realms of existence and move between them
  • Use your powers of inner instincts and innate wisdom and all your natural gifts

Very cool stuff!
          
What is your animal totem right now, and what message is it giving you?
How observant are you of the signs that cross your path, validating that you are on the right track?
How are you developing your natural gifts, embracing your beauty, and communing with nature?
