This reading is using my upcoming card deck: The Sacred Circle Spirit Animal Oracle.
This is a one card reading done on the North American Sacred Circle or Medicine Wheel. The card sits in the center of the circle and represents the Creator or Center Stone, which is said to contain the Void and all of creation—the stars, planets, Animal Kingdom, Plant Kingdom, Mineral Kingdom, etc. This Stone is governed by the Great Spirit and our Highest Self. It is the place of balance at the heart or center of the Sacred Circle where we can go within ourselves to access the wisdom and guidance needed from every aspect in the cycles of life.
MOON ORACLE MESSAGE
Animal Guide Medicine—Beaver, The Pink Moon (April 20-May 20)
Card #27: The Pink Moon (Beaver-April 20-May 20)
Question: As we continue in the reflective light of the Pink Moon through mid-May what is my Soul’s message from its Spirit Animal Guide--Beaver?
Teaching: The Pink Moon is the second moon of Wabun—the Spirit Keeper of the East; it is one of the moons influenced by the Turtle Clan and is connected to the Spirit Path Stone of Wisdom. This Moon teaches you about creating through perseverance, stability, and practicality. It will teach you the value of hard work, strategy, and design when building the foundation for your goals and dreams; and it will teach you how to design and create a beautiful environment for yourself—inside and out—as you embark on new spiritual paths. Frogs Return Moon will caution you to guard against stubbornness or overindulging as well as holding back your feelings, so that you don’t become too rigid or too possessive in your dealings with others. It will also encourage you to ponder your roots and personal qualities with love as you seek wisdom and understanding.
Meaning: The Beaver is the Spirit Animal that best represents the Pink Moon. Beaver is the Master Builder of Dreams and Home and is the Prime Architect of all Waterscapes, which is where all your dreams reside. Beaver’s designs will help you transform your old and outmoded ideas or beliefs into something creative, yet practical, that will provide you with long term stability and security. Beaver will teach you how to execute your dreams through the power of design, hard work, self-reliance, and perseverance; and it will also help you look deep inside yourself with playful affection to release the fears and doubts that hold your dreams back.
As a builder of dams, Beaver will teach you the value of releasing those fears and doubts a little at a time like a dam does when it slowly releases its excess water. Once you have released the fears, the doubts, Beaver will help you take action to build a strong foundation—inside and out—so you can bring your dreams into being. As nature’s great engineer, Beaver can fell and move trees to build dams and create canals in and out of its home. Beaver knows the value of working hard to keep its homes and dams in good, constant repair. Because of these talents, Beaver is the best guide for showing you how to build and work toward your dreams and goals, and it reminds you that there is always more work and building to be done. In all cases, Beaver brings the knowledge and blueprint for what needs to be done and how to go about doing it. Beaver indicates that just envisioning your dreams and goals is not enough, but that you must do the work on the physical plane to manifest them in this reality.
Some Native American Tribes believe that Beaver carries the Sacred Grandfather Wisdom Teachings, because it uses its innate gifts to sustainably alter its environment in a way that is beneficial to the entire ecosystem. When Beaver paddles into the waters of your Soul, It brings a message for you to use and embrace your gifts wisely, so you can contribute not only to your own development but to the development of a peaceful, healthy environment and community.
Beaver also mates for life and values home, family, and teamwork. It cautions you against retreating into your work or dreams—ignoring the value of the hearth. Instead, it encourages you to keep hearth and home central to all your outside goals and dreams so you can walk in balance with all aspects of the environment. Beaver also encourages you to overcome stubbornness, become more open-minded, and ask for help from others when needed, so that you can work together with others in harmony as a team to accomplish your goals; this will help you maintain balance without stress in all aspects of your life. With Beaver’s help, you can become unstoppable in building your dreams in the full harmony of home, family, creativity, and work.

What is Beaver Designing for Me to Bring into My Life Currently?
Teaching-Dreamtime: In Native American thought, there are two types of dreams—the “Sleep Time Dream” and the Waking Dream from the Dreamtime. While some Native American cultures recognize that there are 4 types of dreams that can come to you when you are sleeping in Sleep Time. The most potent and accurate of these is the “Medicine Dream” which brings the vision of a person’s most likely potential future. In all cases, holding this dream as sacred and acting upon it is of the utmost importance.
The waking dream comes from Dreamtime Journeying where you are aware of your body in the physical world while being aware that you are also inside the dream. Dreamtime is what we nowadays call a parallel universe. The things that occur in the parallel time frame of space directly impact our physical reality. Dreamtime can appear the same or like our physical reality, but there are no physical limitations. Waking Dreams can also overlap the “Sleep Time Dreams” when the need to know or understand something is strong enough.
To become a Dreamer of Dreamtime was a highly respected position in a tribe or nation. A Dreamer was considered equal to a healer or prophet in Native American teachings. Dreamers could transcend the barriers of time and space using tools like drumming or smudging with smoke to travel into past or future realities in the Dreamtime. Dreamers used this process to obtain the answers needed to heal someone, guide someone, or bring them back to the Sacred Path. Dreamtime Reality is as ancient as the Universe and holds the keys to the portals for every level of existence. It can help you access your individual gifts and talents from other dimensions to bring them into the present.
Soul Message: When Dreamtime calls you through the eyes of Beaver, you are being asked to pay attention to the messages you are receiving from the parallel universe to see with unlimited vision. Beaver reminds you that you are a co-creator in both the World of Reality and the World of Dreams and will be given unlimited sight and knowing if you ask. With Beaver, the vision and insight you seek may come in either the “Sleep Time Dreams” or by journeying into the Dreamtime. As a Master of Dreams, Beaver can help you pierce the veil of unconsciousness to reach the place of inner knowing to find the answers you seek. Beaver arrives during the Pink Moon to help you see the truth on all levels of Creation, so you can become aware of the messages in your dreams and create the future you most want.
But Beaver also cautions that your dreams will not become reality until you take practical action on them. The time is right for you to become the designer and builder of the best possible future in the present. Once you receive the Dreamtime visions, take a moment to analyze and interpret them to discern which messages should become your foundation.
Follow Beaver’s example and put the foundation into practice by designing a plan of action that can help you build upon it to bring your most cherished dreams or visions into existence. Like Beaver, take a concrete action, a baby step, every day until you bring your design into physical manifestation. Celebrate your achievements with family or friends and give gratitude to the Creator for the Dreamtime and His Master of Dreams—the Beaver.
