18. EAGLE

Wisdom, freedom, loyalty

Seek wisdom and balance, but don’t sacrifice freedom.

Eagle spreads her great wings and soars effortlessly with the wind, exercising limitless freedom. No restraints, no predators to run from. A majestic bird of prey, she flies high over the earth, seeing things from a wider perspective. Despite her ability to roam wherever she likes, Eagle is a bird that mates for life, returning to the same nest after long periods of time away, demonstrating great loyalty. She lives a life of balance, alchemising both her freedom and devotion to create a life where she has it all - the ability to explore and seek adventure and the comfort of a nest and family to come home to. Eagle's song is honest, easy and expansive.

Eagle is a beacon of wisdom. The appearance of this card suggests you need to exercise your own freedom while maintaining your relationships and honouring your commitments. Perhaps you feel an imbalance and this is your reminder to find equilibrium. You may have responsibilities, but that doesn't mean sacrificing your freedom. Find new ways to spread your wings without abandoning your commitments. Sometimes it helps to take a step back so you can see your life from a wider perspective. Consider what is truly important to you, and how you can find time for yourself and your individuality. Eagle reminds you to live in your truth and remain loyal; you will soar higher with the lightness of living authentically and freely.
