Spiritual Meanings Of A Fox Crossing Your Path:
Nocturnal Nature
“I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” – Sarah Williams
Foxes are nocturnal creatures.
Those moments of the night in utter stillness are where I so frequently discover tiny keys that help me find a deeper connection within my soul.
Fear not the darkness. It keeps open the doors that hid my visit to potentials and secrets of life.
The fox shows me how to tread this life. I believe that this journey into the night is necessary for my development on a spiritual level.
This exploration starts in the quiet of the night, and I can only hear what my mind is offering me.
It is in these silent few hours that I am forced to confront myself, a self that normally gets by because of the everyday demands surrounding my life.
The fox is the very courage I need to access and find within myself when wandering into my dark corridors.
Only by doing so will I encounter things currently unknown.
It tells me the darkness that resides inside of me is not a black hole to be avoided.
To get through this abyss inside of me, I need to trust myself and the process.
The thing is that the fox shows me how to walk on my inner soil with grace, and always know though I cannot see in front of me at all times—or even when it seems impossible—you will hopefully eternally find your feet.
It has to do with my strength and following what I know deep down to be true.
Through this journey, I receive the wisdom that changes everything and gives me my real constitutional right to be a part of existence.
It is about strategy
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” – Matthew 10:16
Every time I encounter a fox, I know everything is okay. It is about predicting problems and being one step ahead.
Taking the fox´s wisdom into my existence is being mindful and tactical about everything I do.
Stimulating me to learn deeply what is going on around me and how stuff works and, therefore, act well-oriented.
Traversing obstacles, spiritual or mundane, with wisdom and skill.
The most challenging obstacles can be turned into opportunities. This strategic thinking helps me to move through life with grace.
Time, energy or knowledge…I need to use my resources wisely.
It is over there on the other side of making a very even-handed situation work for one team and putting that first step towards success every time an opportunity, no matter how slim, presents itself.
It is about the unknown
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.” – Albert Einstein
Foxes are mired in mysticisms and unseen. They are elusive, silent and mysterious night creatures. 
To put it in a very simplistic way, mysticism is an intense connection with the god or spiritual insights beyond understanding.
And the fox, all night roving and conniving, tells me there’s so much more beneath it.
It supports me in having faith in whatever the Universe will bring to gain wisdom and insight from within through inner work & spiritual practice.
This relationship with the mystery is not about answers but about beginning to live the experience of living in wonder.
The fox is about handling complexity, relaxing into the unknown and learning to love the question more than the answer. And this cannot be easy, as we humans like things to be certain and clear.
The fox lets me know that there is goodness and knowledge in not knowing.
In my spirit journey, I can be closer to god (the Creator).
Few truths take years to surface, and many might never be seen at all.
Falling back into the unknown, the mystical and unseen, is sort of like lying down as if blindfolded — it takes a bit of surrender and softness.
Instead, surrender is when I release the desire to be in control and allow myself to just go wherever the Universe takes me.
This can become some of the most beautiful spiritual experiences and revelations.
It is about loyalty
“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” – Proverbs 17:17
Loyalty and protection are lesser-known traits of the fox.
Foxes are protectors and loyal companions in several cultures.
In spiritual terms, loyalty is how aligned my actions are with my highest values.
I am a constant in the lives of those whom I love.
Being faithful in love, friendship, work and life is a way of being a loyal guardian who guards my spiritual path with heart.
I think it is important to know when you decide to stand by someone and shield them from harm.
It is a fundamental of spiritual adulthood that has taught me the balance between compassion and strength.
The fox crossing my path reminds me of these attributes and calls on me to embody them further in every area of my life.
