PAST: You have for some time been shedding ones skin or removing the masks, to reveal a deeper, better you. Do you feel maybe a load as been taken off of your shoulders? Or somehow you've survived a snake bite? If you feared the change, there had to be some discomfort. You should be seeing that your experiences have given you hard earned wisdom and a deeper connection to the Great Spirit.

PRESENT: Your initiation into the Spirit of the Snake may bring some discomfort. You have outgrown the old you, and any holding on to the past will only create further discomfort. The situation at hand may feel like shedding ones skin,and therefore experiencing life, death and rebirth. There may be more then one snake bite to endure. You are now more able and capable of expressing your creativity. Your ambition, intellect and sexual energy are in high gear for you are being asked to transmute an idea, action or soul desire so your integration may be achieved. This is a major change in life and of consciousness.

FUTURE: Situations that you are presently experiencing or creating, will lead you to a major change in consciousness. You have asked for this, and even wanted it, although you probably didn't consciously know the impact it would have upon you. You will be asked to let go of something that no longer serves you or your purpose. There will probably be some discomfort as you change, but you will be certain that the changes made will be for the better. Accept and embrace the power this brings, for in end you will feel closer to the wholeness of Spirit.
