This week's External Influence is the Reversed Wolf spirit guide. When this guide comes into play, it is often a sign to look for structure and ritual combined with the wild spirit. Reversed, we see this spirit guide as a sign that this week's environment may continue to ask you to work on your own. If you feel like you are alone this week, consider your options and what is going on with your environment. If you have been too rigid in your social interactions, consider how your actions, environment, or peer's behavior could be adjusted to better balance yourself and those around you. You have strength and confidence within you and this week will remind you of that. How have you and your environment been interacting? Have you been feeling safe or unbalanced? This week may be a reminder to loosen up and let yourself engage in interactions with others or it could be a push to work on these more alone. Just know that whether it is too little or too much interaction, that this is a sign to look at your social structure or home rituals. Consider where you may need to work on balance or loosen up. Reversed Wolf could be here to remind you to howl at the wind now and then, but not to forget this week's responsibilities. This could be the perfect week to start a new ritual or routine you may have been putting off.

This week's Rune is Gebo! Symbolizes by the crossing of two forces, this Rune looks at the interaction between the divine and the mortal. Gebo represents this connection, exchange, as well as balance and a sign of a gift! When we interact with others, it will always result in some sort of consequence. In the best of interactions, this is a gift and a positive result. Gebo particularly represents the gift we find in connecting with the divine. Always remember to think of it as a gift given with the understanding and intent of returning a gift. This ensures a balance mentally and physically. Gebo represents not only the cross over of human and divine, but the connection between lovers, a contract, or a partnership. Call upon Gebo this week in order to become more attuned with streams of energy, the power of balanced relationships, and the union of the Goddess and God. This week, remember to give as much as you receive. This is also represented by the barter system where one exchanges fair items or money so that both parties are pleased. It is also seen in the connection of two lovers. Let this week show you are giving can be a gift and allow yourself to connect with those around you in romantic, platonic, and business-like ways.

This week's Internal Influence card is seen as the Horse spirit guide. Although this week will be a test to figure out a new routine or to balance social engagements, know that you are strong and that the wild spirit within you is shown both by the wolf and the horse! The horse spirit guide is a sign to release the bindings that have been holding you back! Stop doubting. Stop restraining yourself due to your fear. You have much more strength than you believe. Work on combining this power with gentle patience and compassion in order to overcome any ordeal you may feel within you. The horse is known for it's connections to freedom and travel. It was a key component in the spread of civilization and reminds us of both the wild abandon of a free spirit as well as the strength of a hardworking ethic. It is ok to develop and change over time. Allow your mind to travel and grow as you experience this week. It is ok to let go and move forward to advance physically and mentally. In doing so, you may open up abilities such as clairvoyance or the ability to see magic and the light in others. If can be intimidating to grow, but it will only aid you in becoming the best of who you really are.
