The Wolf Spirit

The wolf spirit is possessed of keen and penetrating perception, navigating the world with astute inquisitiveness. The wolf thrives in nature and the outdoors and is deeply attuned to the natural world, a free spirit that revels in its exploration and discovery. Nature holds so many bounties and a wolf appreciates and acknowledges every one of these gifts. To be happy she needs to feel free and unrestrained, the caged wolf withers, whereas the uninhibited wolf grows strong in strength and in confidence.

Balance and harmony in the home and environment are essential to a wolf’s wellbeing, and the most important focus in any wolf’s life is the family. This is the prime motivation behind the choices and decisions made in life. A wolf’s devotion is humbling, and there is little that will not be endured or sacrificed for loved ones. Dedication and selflessness are at the core of a wolf spirit. Fiercely loyal, she will defend and protect her own with a shocking ferociousness that will astonish those who are unfamiliar with her wolf nature. Her usual well considered and measured reactions can shift abruptly, it does not pay to forget a wolf has fangs for a reason.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius is represented and symbolised by the winter environment and plants within the painting, supporting and enriching the scene and setting. Its constellation is also present to the left of the moon, twinkling between the fluttering moths.

Sagittarius the archer is lively, passionate, smart and philosophical, endowed with an independent nature. This sign thrives on accomplishment and achieving their goals in both personal and professional life is paramount to this fiery sign’s equilibrium. Sagittarius burns with determination, and is driven by the demand to succeed, taking confident decisions quickly and decisively when required.

Sagittarius is also reflective and thoughtful, possessed of a keen intelligence. Theoretical, moral and metaphysical questions are a natural draw to this sign’s inquisitive rationale, with an astute mind following lines of thought and enquiry with passion and purpose to its conclusion. Thus, a Sagittarian is armoured with the knowledge and skills to confront a world, which is filled with a myriad of challenges and difficulties that must be contested and overcome. When set upon a chosen path there is little this sign cannot surmount and ultimately conquer.

Sentiments run deep in Sagittarius, this fire sign is brimming with the desire to love and be loved in return. Demonstrative in their affection, love is freely expressed among family and friends. Social by nature these bonds are essential to fulfil the archer’s emotional needs. Love, passion and affection are a key component to Sagittarian happiness. It is impossible to deny the flames that burn within the heart of this star sign.

Jupiter

Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius, and ruling is what he does best. Jupiter’s indominable force of character and resolve will never bend or be swayed by the machinations of others. This deity’s dominion offers authority, protection and prosperity through judicial and prudent decisions, under his governance, good luck, wealth and optimism freely flow.

Moon in Cancer

Cancer is the only sign ruled by the Moon, and both of these cosmic entities are coupled to the immense tides of the world. In fact, their influences are so enormous, they can at times overpower the forces of Sagittarius and the great Jupiter.

The emotional ebbs and flows that result from these ever-changing celestials can exhaust and overwhelm. Nonetheless, they also offer a unique insight into the world through unmatched intuition and empathy, with an almost preternatural otherworldly understanding of the unseen. Listening to these heightened instincts is essential, they are seldom wrong and will save much heartache if heeded.

With this much feeling love is as essential to life as breathing. Cancer’s devotion and loyalty is intrinsic to their moon dreaming soul, they love like no other, and yearn to create a warm and welcoming home full of family and happiness.
