quintessential domesticated freshwater fish.
The Guppy embraces adaptability. While its native home was Barbados, Brazil, Trinidad, the Antilles and Venezuela, the fish happily swims in waters in nearly every country in the world, even somewhat brackish ones, save Antarctica. Despite the diversity, they prefer something more intimate-small streams where life isn’t quite so tumultuous. Here they gobble up mosquito larvae. There’s no question the Guppy is a prolific colonizer. Two or three generations of Guppies are born annually, giving Guppy the nickname “Million Fish”. A female is ready for babies by 15 weeks of age on average, the male 7. At the time of birth, the little fry is perfectly independent. They smartly school together and develop tactics helping avoid predators as part of their natural behavior. Guppy symbolism includes an awareness of necessities. When food is scarce, they reduce their reproductive cycle. Likewise, when food is abundant, babies abound. Their behavior insures, within reason, the new little fish will have plenty of food to grow and reach maturity for mating and survival. In relationships, Guppy females rule the roost. The Sacred Feminine runs through their bodies, resulting in polyandry. Females mate with more than one male insuring success in at least one suitor. There are more benefits to the Guppy lifestyle, too. Females who mate with several males produce more offspring quickly. These offspring illustrate stronger behaviors after birth, such as how effectively they school. When Guppy Spirit Animal appears in your life, you may realize a situation in which a group becomes your source of sustenance and support. You may feel a little uncertain at first, but the water is just fine! Sometimes the Guppy Spirit warns of your propensity to jump without real provocation. It is a habit seen among Guppies in nature sometimes proving dangerous. While it is one means of getting from one proverbial stream to another, think before you leap. One name given the Guppy is the Rainbow Fish. So, the Guppy Spirit Animal may speak to you of diversity in your home and in your life. The world is a bright, beautiful place. Don’t limit yourself to “black and white” images. While simple, and uncomplicated, it is a rather boring way to experience reality. Finally, because of how fast the Guppy breeds, it may be an omen. You could be on the edge of prolific success, money, friends, or opportunities. Keep your eyes open and see what swims your way. Look to your Guppy Power Animal when seeking a stronger connection with the Goddess or feminine attributes. Guppy is not the nurturing female. It is rather a fierce force of nature-focused on making life fertile, be it symbolically or literally. When you start feeling dull and drab, invoke your inner Guppy for spreading refreshed color into your life. Guppy Power Animal comes with a healthy portion of adaptation and independent spirit too. Guppy is a sweet fish. When it appears in your dream portends happiness and a sense you finally know the truth of an important matter. If the Guppy in your dream swims in circles, something in your life is in a holding pattern out of necessity. Hang tight. When a Guppy appears out of water in your dream, it alludes to the phrase, a fish out of water. Where do you feel disenfranchised or awkward? Guppies jumping in your dream may imply you crave a different situation, a change of pace, or have a deep curiosity about something you know is there, but cannot see. There is a caution to this dream, though. The saying the grass is not always greener on the other side applies to water too. Seeing a large group of Guppies represents positive outcomes, possibly great abundance. A Guppy swimming solo warns of being exposed. Find a haven with like-minded people. The color of the Guppy in your dream may hold meaning. Black ones imply transformation, while fish with many colors suggest similarly colorful associates arriving in your sphere. Should the Guppies swim smoothly in sync, it symbolizes the importance of teamwork and appreciating people around you for their help and protection.
