RESULT

Add up her score, and then check which power animal she fits into:

34 to 28 points - Lion

We know that the most present characteristic of a lion is strength, and it is no different when it appears as a spirit animal. If you scored for the lion, it means that right now you need physical emotional and psychological strength to overcome your challenges.

But the lion does not attack other animals without a specific purpose and does not expose himself to unnecessary risks. He is a strategic animal, who calculates his movements and knows the right moment to act to achieve his goals. In other words, he combines strength with wisdom, which makes him feared and respected by other animals.

If you need the lion's characteristics right now, it is essential to find the cause of your problems, understand your fears and insecurities, and the sad, negative feelings that cause you to act the way you do. Accept the lion's invitation towards that introspection and learn strength and strategy!

27 to 21 points - Lobo

If your score brought the Wolf as a result, you are in need of seeking the wild spirit within you! This characteristic is coming to show that you need to connect with this animal to develop freedom, courage, and a willingness to take risks.

In addition, wolves define a hierarchy that is very respected. Discipline and organization are also very present traits in your personality - and these traits are being asked of you right now.

Although they walk in packs, they prefer to avoid unnecessary fights and forego combat unless it is essential for their survival, such as when they need to feed or defend themselves from attack.

So having the wolf as a spirit animal at some point in life is a beautiful opportunity to learn about the collective and discipline, but at the same time there is a need for individuality, because you never know when you will be alone.

20 to 16 points - Eagle

If you scored for Eagle, this means that right now you need vision and strength, since it is known for its ability to see accurately and for being an expert hunter. In addition, other characteristics displayed by the eagle are courage, speed, and wisdom.

When we connect to the eagle, the main teaching is to broaden our vision and see the whole. As human beings, we have a limited vision, which makes us find big obstacles in small difficulties.

In addition, the Eagle teaches us that we should not act entirely by the mind, for our intuition and instinct must also be taken into consideration at the time we are making choices and decisions.

Even though the eagle uses its keen eyesight to identify its prey from miles away, it moves based on its instinct, along with air direction, to save time and effort when it goes hunting for its prey.

Finally, it teaches us to take the view of the whole and see the bigger picture, not just the step ahead, and to act with courage, respecting our instincts and our feelings. These are precious lessons that the Eagle passes on to us as an animal spirit.

15 to 10 points - Monkey

If you have scored Monkey as an animal spirit for this moment, know that you are in need of grace and energy, as well as agile movements.

This animal moves as if it were dancing through the trees. Its movement is fluid but unpredictable. It moves forward with great confidence and uses its creativity to get around any obstacle that appears on the way. It also has intelligence and mental dexterity as its outstanding characteristics. For the Monkey, every day is a fun adventure.

Monkey is one of the animal spirits linked to Sacred Irreverence. He uses agility and cleverness to get out of the most challenging situations.

The Monkey also brings us the clarity to analyze and see the truth behind appearances. The Monkey opportunely assumes the figure of the cheater to identify who is trying to cheat.

You need to learn from Monkey to get around all adversities with lightness, without losing your good humor and confidence in your own virtues.

9 to 1 points - Turtle

If you have scored the Turtle as a spirit animal for the moment, this means that she has come to teach you to walk your path in peace and follow it with balance and serenity.

The Turtle moves slowly on land, but very quickly in water. You are probably receiving an invitation to take a break from your busy life and look around or within yourself for more lasting solutions.

It is a power animal that represents the path we travel as we embark on our journey through life. The path of the turtle anchors our emotional development in a series of slow steps, but they are long and deep cycles of transformation.

The biggest lesson is that sometimes you may take longer than most to make your change, but the results tend to be lasting and solid.
