Electric Eel- Patient Planning and Taking Action

Deck Credit Spirit Animal Oracle with guidebook- Colette Baron Reid and the Chrysalis Tarot by Toney Brooks. Electric eel research credit

So today’s animal is the electric eel. I’ve often been a bit squeamish around eels because I don’t get to interact with them at all, really, and because I don’t really know that much about them. that is until now. In keeping with the spirit of this month’s presentation, I went online to do some research and I’d like to share it with you now. Here we go.

So the eel carries the symbolism of needing to stay aware and be protective of your mental and perhaps physical energy. This may be a signal of significant transformation in your life and while it’s about time for that to happen, it may be time to consider stopping the idea of putting yourself in dangerous places. It may also be a reminder that you’re charging enough to grow a thick skin and take charge of your energetic vibrations as well. If you find yourself resonating with the eel, perhaps this is an indication to be flexible and adaptable.

The eel may also be a reminder that you are able to overcome obstacles, take charge and make forward progress. In some cultures, the eel represents luck, fertility, and longevity. this animal may represent a person who perhaps isn’t the most conventionally attractive or charming, but is good-natured, endearing, and perhaps a bit shy.

So with all that in mind, let's get to some cards to find out what you need to know. Let's go.

Electric Eel: bring your ideas to life

The Visionary (knight of scrolls [swords]): someone who takes action on their mental and intellectual pursuits

3 of Spirals (Wands): in a state of active waiting. Be patient, your ship will come in soon.

Alright, so what I’m seeing with this post is a dual message, the first of those is that you need to take action on what you’re thinking of doing for yourself. You have a lot of beautiful and bright ideas but you are not developing them into anything tangible or useful, perhaps because of the second part of this message. this second message indicates to me that you’re being asked to take it slow because all the things you need to make your ideas happen aren’t in line just yet. You’re being asked to be patient and take things slow while you’re making plans. I’m getting the sense that you want to rush right into doing all the things all at once. But perhaps having a plan and a way to move forward might be better if you want to see successful results.
