Frog ~ Fertility and New Beginnings

The card that leapt out of the deck for you today is the 'Frog ~ Fertility and New Beginnings' card, from the 'Animal-Wise Tarot' deck, authored by Ted Andrews. Ted Andrews was a metaphysician, schooled in various modalities, with his passion being his supreme connection to the animal world.  We was an internationally respected author, teacher and healer prior to his passing in October 2009.  I consider his books, 'Animal Speak' and 'Animal Wise' to be my 'go to' resources in regards to animals as messengers of Spirit.
This is what Ted has to share with us concerning 'Frog' as a messenger:
"Frogs have a tremendous mythology and lore about them and have been associated with the Faerie Realm and Egyptian goddesses and gods (Herit, Isis, and Osiris).  To some peoples of the Amazon, frogs call the rains and influence the climate.  In Europe, frogs are frequently associated with healing.  Whenever Frog appears, we are entering a time of new beginnings, our creative energies are awakening, and it is a time for new birth and new starts.
Frogs are amphibians, meaning they spend part of their life in the water and part upon the land.  They are found everywhere in the world except Antarctica.  All frogs to through metamorphosis, and their appearance reflects a time of transformation for us as well...
Their appearance can signal a possible birth or pregnancy for someone close to us.
Frog heralds an ideal time to initiate new starts in business or a wonderful time to explore and seek out a new career, job, or way of life.  The appearance of Frog reflects maturity and transformation...it is a beneficial time to hop into new areas of endeavors or to accept invitations and offers.  
Since frogs possess a very sensitive lymphatic organ, they are keenly attuned to sound and their element (water) is a tremendous conductor of sound vibrations.  Their croaking is a means of attracting a mate.  When Frog has appeared, we should listen for new opportunities and know that our ability to persuade and influence people to participate in new beneficial endeavors is very great right now.  Frog's appearance heralds an awakening of the unique and creative powers of our own voice."

My message for you today is this:
No surprise that Frog presented as our messenger today!  As I have stated, April 2014 is a month of powerful change and the cosmic energies that we are experiencing right now are supporting and URGING us in that direction.  Also, here in south/central Alberta we are in the midst of dynamic WATER energy, as the melting snow is commanding it's way through the landscape during this recent Spring warmth.  Of course, Frog is going to fit right in as a Spirit messenger during this time of transformation between seasons!  The energy of Spring and 'new beginnings' abounds right now!  It's not called 'Spring Fever' for nothing!  We feel the excitement of potential and opportunity and we also feel rejuvenated and motivated as we witness the thawing and new growth that is eminent.  Frog's message is to embrace that energy within yourself, even as you acknowledge it around you.  The possibilities inherent in you at this time are strong!  How are you meant to express yourself out into the world at this time?  Confidently leap into the energy of transformation being offered to you at this time...
Blessed be...
