Thanks to Steven D. Farmer, Ph.D, in his book Animal Spirit Guides, the fox is covered as follows:

If FOX shows up, it means:

•  Trust your intuition, and be wary of someone you’re involved with who is attempting to trick you in some way.

•  Your intelligence and ingenuity are more useful now than confrontation and righteousness.

•  It is important to break out of your social conditioning and express yourself more freely.

•  Trust your senses to guide you.

             —If ARTIC FOX:

•  Don’t let the negative things affect you adversely.

•  Plan for the future by storing up some of your supplies.

•  Welcome the changes of season with the behavior and attitude appropriate to that season.

—If GRAY FOX:

•  Right now it’s best to keep to yourself and not stand out.

—If KIT FOX: 

•  Speak your truth directly, without explanation or qualification.

•  Constancy, courage, and integrity are important for you to display right now.

—If RED FOX:

•  It is important to be flexible and adaptable, using the resources you have available.

Call on FOX when:

•  You are faced with seemingly insurmountable problem.  You are being scrutinized or observed in some way that’s uncomfortable.

•  You find yourself in a situation that requires quick thinking and action.  What is called for is tact and wisdom.

If FOX is your POWER ANIMAL:

•  You’re a night person and often are most productive and creative at night while other sleeps.

•  You are a keen observer, an excellent parent or parental figure – very nurturing, protective, and conscientious.

•  You sometimes surprise everyone by coming up with obscure yet creative solutions to problems.
