44 - Hummingbird - Joy - Contrary


44

Hummingbird

Joy


Hummingbird . . . 
       Joyful little sister,
             Nectar you crave!

All the sweetness
     Of the flowers,
         Is the love you gave.

Contrary:

If contrary Hummingbird is in your cards in any configuration, it speaks to you of matters of the heart. 

How or why has your heart centre been closed? 

Have you done something callous to another, causing them to shut off the love they once felt for you?

The contrary Hummingbird may presage sorrow and the inability to see the many blessings we two-leggeds have been given and the primordial beauty that surrounds us. 

If contrary Hummingbird sings its forlorn song, perhaps you should journey into your personal pain and know that your sorrow is your joy in another reflection.

Overview:

The hummingbird is a magnificent little creature that, unlike any other bird, can fly in any direction and even hover. 

Its long beak enables it to draw succulent nectar from every variety of flower. 

Its movement from one flower to another is a dance of delight, and its singing is a melody of ecstasy.

In American Indian folk stories, the hummingbird is associated with love and joy.

Its appearance as a power animal is indicative of the sheer delight of living, and of living the bliss of loving. 

It implies an ability to see beauty in everything and it is concerned with bringing out the best in people and the good in every situation.

Hummingbird embraces the highest principles and brings the magic of the spiritual realm into earth activities. 

Hummingbird can help you make the progress of living a Dance of Beauty. 

Dance in beauty.

Embrace what makes you happy. 

Be joyful. 

Count your blessings. 

Open yourself to pleasure.
