[ BARNACLES - ATTACHMENT ]

MEANING: When the young barnacle larva realise that it's time for them to stop floating around and do something meaningful like find a surface to cling onto, they do it only once. They dive headfirst onto the rock, mussel shell or boat bottom and that is where they stay. Forever. They don't move, apart from kicking legs to direct food towards their mouth. Attachments can make you feel like the barnacle - stuck in place no matter how hard you kick. The message of the barnacle is to look for people, places or things that you've, perhaps, developed an attachment to. Obviously, if it's a healthy attachment (like eating green beans or the warm embrace of a loved one on a chilly night) then there's no need to go upsetting the apple cart but instead look at attachments that have moved from something mutually beneficial to addictive. Attachments and addictions go hand in hand. Don't get your head stuck believing that you need whatever attachment/addiction you're holding onto - you have free movement and you can swim onwards and upwards.

QUESTION: Are your attachments healthy?

AFFIRMATION: It's safe for me to detach.

MORE: Barnacles might look a lot like sea-shelled molluscs but these little heartless (really- they don't have a heart) one-eyed creatures are related to lobsters and crabs. They're only mobile during the larva stage and once they find a surface to cling onto, that's their forever home. They attach to their new home with their heads and they dangle their legs outside of the shell, using them to usher food particles into the mouth.
