Shark inherently speaks of danger, and surprise attack.

 If Shark spirit animal is appearing for you it is a clear sign that there is a clear and present danger in your midst.  

If you have an ingenious idea or a new idea, you may want to keep it to yourself, as other Sharks in the water will immediately begin to swarm and take all that they can, without regard to anyone or anything in its way, regardless of it being right or wrong, it is merely the nature of the shark.  

Don't expect the Sharks to play fair.  

In business  and love a Shark could represent a hostile takeover, maybe someone wants your job, maybe someone wants your lover. 

Just as in the waters, land Sharks are there to take what they want. 

The Shark is a fierce competitor, if going up against a Shark in sports, or any endeavor expect the Shark to have stamina and moves you were not expecting.

If Shark is your Power Animal or Spirit Animal

If Shark is your power animal, you can align to it's dominant powers by tapping into it's spirit energies; be fierce, be bold, go after what you want with clear intention, go all in or do not go in at all. 

Shark is not one that takes it slow and easy, it does not take small bites. 

Shark charges ahead with all of the determination it has or can find.

Although the Shark is fiercely aggressive and deadly, it effortlessly moves through the waters with style and grace, and incredible presence. 

The symbolism of a Sharks fin is danger, move out of the way and get to safety... now!

The spiritual meaning and power of the Shark would be to tap into it's fierce powers of determination and authority while not eating others alive, while not taking what belongs to others such as ideas, etc...  you can do this by balancing this powerful force of nature with a sense of grace and style.

Who is your role model of being fierce yet maintaining grace, either man or woman?  Let her be your mentor so that you can learn to swim with the Sharks and yet succeed at your goals, all with style and grace of an enlightened one.
