Look at how Cheetah can accelerate up to 75mpg in seconds, and with all this speed they are not reckless. Cheetah paces themselves, and conserves their vital energy, waiting quietly until the right time to spring into action.
Cheetah indicates it's either time recharge if you've been acting in high velocity, or time to take chances, and seize opportunities you've been eyeing with care. Female Cheetahs are independent and solitary, whereas the males gather in groups to protect territory and hunt. Is it time to work with a team, or be alone to recharge, and align with your soul?
Cheetah reminds us even if you don’t have 100% certainty, get moving, and act fast, which ensures their survival. Don’t be indifferent, feel the feelings, and tune into how you are using your energy, and if you are juggling too many projects. Get direction, prioritize towards that goal, and remain focused on that, which keeping boundaries, and knowing when to rest.
Cheetah is remarkably tuned in to the surroundings, and those inhabiting it. Cheetah people communicate in a softer way, and need to be left alone to their privacy when asked. Cheetah also knows how to be tenacious, and hunt their path with full presence, and pivot when that path is misaligned.
Cheetah qualities are adaptable, awareness, camouflage, choices, composure, discernment, persistence, speed, survival, vigilance, energy management.
" You must learn to quit before fatigue sets in, to pause often, and not just between tasks, but also in the middle of them. Pause, smile, lie on your back when the sun hits you. Then when you are ready, launch yourself back into your work. And even if your hunt fails and you return empty-handed, still smile. It is all a game here. You will have other lives." – Richard Rudd, The Dream Arc
