My love for nature and the visitors that share my garden with me are an integral part of what drives me and puts a sunny smile on my face; like this little Golden American Goldfinch that I had the pleasure to capture with my camera during my lunch break one afternoon, as he enjoyed his Thistle lunch from the sock that I hung for him and his wife. If the brilliantly colored male or dimly festooned female come flying into your life, expect prosperity and abundance fore this is the energy they bring with them. Pockets full of gold and sunshine will begin streaming into your life.
Their most cheerful cheep, cheep, cheep comes in quick bursts and sometimes sounds like they are singing “here kitty kitty” or a low high pitched “ha ha ha”. They are very vocal when calling for their mates; maybe they are Geminis? Their quick, darting flight pattern and a flash of yellow gets my attention every time and I laugh and smirk when I am lucky enough to catch their lightening fast blaze and poof they are gone. They delight me and delight to the heart brings good luck and good fortune. The male’s bright summer yellow is the likeness of clear golden Citrine, the stone of prosperity and abundance, therefore, a garden shared with an American Goldfinch is akin to a constant sprinkling of that same auspicious energy. Share your wealth with an American Goldfinch family by hanging a Thistle sock from a branch and they will repay you in kind with joy and happiness. When we carry joy and happiness in our hearts, we automatically attract our heart’s desires!
Goldfinch comes into our lives to remind us of the infinite possibilities that we all hold within our hearts. A symbolism of success and that all obstacles can and will be conquered when you keep a sunny attitude of positivity and optimism. Goldfinch also may indicate that it is a time to add some spice and variety to our lives, incorporate fun, laughter, action and adventure; a need to get moving and increase your energy by becoming more active – maybe life has been too stagnant or you have been too complacent and lazy- now is the time to get out and about and get those outdoor chores done or take a hike somewhere beautiful. This is an assured Sign that bright sunny days are coming and that you will accomplish your goals.
Call in Goldfinch Animal Totem and Spirit when you need a boost. They do not have to live in your area and you may not have ever seen one, but like with any Animal Spirit you can dream and imagine it and its energy into your life. Let my photographs be your inspiration. Let these little citrus painted fairies instill you with courage and boldness, confidence and pride; sing your song and let your voices be heard. Life is a journey, carry this Totem with you so you may always look on the bright side of life.
If you find a dark cloud hanging over you or you are filled with fears and negativity, donning the color yellow and looking toward the Goldfinch will turn that frown upside down. He sings the song of the Spring flowers and the rain that brings the blooms of endless possibility; he says “don’t take anything in life too seriously and live in the moment.”
Citrine and Goldfinch are directly tied to our Solar Plexus Chakra; our energy center of personal power. Incorporating Yellow into your life helps to open up and unclog your powerhouse and take back your personal power. Think about how a state of gratitude, happiness and joy uplift your spirits and raise your vibration and when you carry this higher vibration you have more self-confidence; you are charging your Solar Plexus Chakra. The opposite drains this Chakra and also drains your personal power, allowing others to take advantage of you. Keep your vibration high and your Solar Plexus spinning with these brilliantly colored tools and totems.
I wish you all to be blessed with his happiness and joy.
