✦ Spirit Guide

Antelope of West · Water · Adult Soul

Antelope moves gently along unseen pathways, intuitively guiding you toward truths hidden beneath the surface. Her graceful steps teach resilience, revealing how yielding to emotional currents strengthens your spirit. Her wisdom reminds you that the fears you hold conceal your greatest insights, whispering softly, "Trust the shadows; your power awaits discovery."

Mid-autumn gently loosens held emotions, allowing sorrow, joy, or silence to flow freely.
As stored feelings release, clarity returns, bringing renewed emotional health and grounded self-awareness. Shadows soften into fertile ground, nurturing fresh growth, deeper self-trust, and empowering transformation.
