I saw a fox

Driving home after masons, just as I was turning into my street in inner city Richmond, waiting for the  lights, a fox crossed my path. 

A fox.

Three kilometres from the city centre. Okay, I'm very close to the river and its subsequent parks, but you never see foxes here. In the deepest, darkest suburbs, yes, but not inner city Richmond near the council flats. 

It was a lovely fox - long and slinky, running across the road as the lights turned. 

I wonder what it means. 

They say that it's unlucky if a black cat crossed your path - unless you own a black cat. I'm blessed as there are another two black cats on the street that I know about - Bruce the Chonk, who lives across the road and bales you up on the way to the tram for a pat. There's also this complete princess who lives further up the road who demands belly rubs. 

But a fox?

According to Dreammoods.com

"They are often considered as symbols of shrewdness, intelligence, trickery, resolving problems, patience, camouflage, strategy, cunningness, adaptability, resourcefulness, action, energy, quick-wit, opportunism, protection, perfect timing, overcoming obstacles, swiftness, agility, persistence, determination, and focus."

And when a fox crosses your path:

"The fox is asking you to think well before taking some actions or making decisions, especially if they have anything to do with people you know you shouldn’t trust, or people you don’t know at all.

Gather all the information you can and try not to make rash decisions and choices.

The fox’s appearance in your life could coincide with periods of changes you could be experiencing in your life. The fox is asking you to embrace them as a part of your growth as a person.

The changes happening in your life might be inevitable but will certainly help you get closer to your dreams and desires. Trust that all is well.

Sometimes a fox could be a support to put in action and finish some projects which haven’t had a good start. The fox is helping you find the solutions to problem circumstances, and encouraging you to use all your hidden abilities to be successful in that.

A fox could also be calling you to strategize in some situation where you know there is no other way to get what you desire.

This animal appearing on your path could also symbolize some fortunate opportunities opening before you. The fox is asking you to become more aware of the things happening around you.

You don’t want to miss any chances that the Universe is sending to you. Be ready to act because there is no reason to waste your time anymore."

So things might be about to change.

Yay.
