Have you seen a praying mantis lately?

As a cold-blooded animal, the praying mantis can hide away and go dormant in winter. But it wakes up—or the eggs that had been laid come to life—in the spring. So if you haven’t seen one yet, you might see one soon.

Whether in a picture or in real life, if you’ve seen one, it could mean that you are constantly focused on work, and need to take a break. It could also mean that there’s too much chaos in your life.

Take it as a wake-up call that you need to bring peace, quiet and calm back into your life. Take some deep breaths or do a simple meditation.

On the other hand, if the praying mantis is your Spirit Animal, you are already living a life of serenity. And, you never make a move without careful thought and planning every step of the way. At the same time, you are capable of quick and decisive action when an opportunity presents itself.

Sometimes people dream of praying mantises. If you’ve seen one flying in your dreams, it could mean your intuition is trying to guide you. So, all the gut reactions you’ve been having lately are real, and they’re trying to tell you something about the situation you’re currently in. So trust your feelings and act accordingly.
