Animal Spirit - Fox

When asked to describe the characteristics of the Fox, many will begin with words such as cunning, clever, and sneaky. Known for their graceful hunting and survival abilities, the fox has an acute sense of hearing and smelling. She’s also able to blend in with her surroundings.

As an animal spirit, the fox reveals the message of being patient, watchful, and instinctive when approaching a problem. There may be a need to sit back and study the situation, to understand its true nature before making an approach. Caution and observation are needed. You may also find yourself needing to adapt and blend in to make it all work out.

My first visit from the fox came last year. She stood under a moonlit shadow of a tree in my yard. I’ve seen her twice more in my yard, and once she crossed the street in front of me as I drove home. These occurrences have happened with long periods in between, and each time I had been mulling something over in my mind. Obviously this fox lives within my neighborhood, so is it a message, or just random sightings?

I began putting this post together on Monday night. Guess who darted out in front of me on my way to work Tuesday morning? This fox is obviously trying to get my attention, and ensure I receive the message she brings.
