The kangaroo can help in situations in one's career, family, and spiritual life. Pastures, meadows, plains, and plateaus are also a distinctive characteristic of the kangaroo life.

Try to see the positive side of things when you are at a “low” point in your life or experiencing a “plateau.” Try to enjoy the different landscapes in your local area. See the different meadows and greens that surround you as well as those where there are plenty of trees.

The Shadow Aspects

Kangaroos hold shadow energy which can manifest itself on people who cannot take the time to slow the pace of their lifestyle out of fear that it may show things that they do not want to see. Those who have busy schedules often do not have the time to sit and think about what is really important in their lives. They often use social gathering and taking overtime as a way of blunting their need for thinking deeply. A kangaroo can help you with this type of situation, and you will be able to form strong ties among those who decide to do so.

As we have touched on before, a kangaroo can also help people who have difficulty trying to accept their responsibility in life. You, yourself may not be taking “full” responsibility for the things that you have done in your life. Kangaroos will teach you that you may have a tendency to place the blame on others. Therefore, this animal totem helps us to accept the consequences of what we have done in the past.

Communion

As with other animals that help us, a kangaroo will also appear at the right place and moment. You cannot force them to come and speak with you upon your will. They are powerful guides and may be difficult to reach, but if you approach them with deference and respect, they will do so accordingly. Since they teach endurance, of finding our way out of problems, the kangaroo will assuredly be with you for as long as you need them.
