Working With Your Angels
Working with the Angelic Realm will bring many blessings into your life. I know this to be true from first-hand experience. In the few short years I have consciously been working with the Angels, my life has completely changed and taken on new purpose and meaning.
I used to suffer from depression, anxiety, and a lack of direction, but these days my life is rich, fulfilling and abundant with magic and miracles.
The Angels have had a considerable influence on my life for the better. This is why I am now passionate about teaching others how to work with these loving beings. I want others to feel the joy and fulfillment I now feel every day.
Before we begin to work with the Angels, it is important to note a few tenets. The first is that, when I refer to ‘working with the Angels,’ I mean this in a non-denominational way. It is not attached to any religious dogma.
The second is that everyone has at least two Angels always working with them. There are no exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, nothing you can do in your life will ever make your Angels stop loving and supporting you unconditionally. In fact, it is their unconditional love and guidance that makes working with them so healing and transformative.
Finally, everyone can learn to hear, see, feel, and know their Angels’ loving messages to them.
So, how do we do that? The first step is to ask. Ask your Angels to help remove any fears or other energy blockages that may be preventing you from clearly receiving their guidance and wisdom. I find it is best to do this before going to bed at night. When we are asleep, so is our conscious ego or thinking mind. This makes it easier for us to process our emotional and energetic baggage.
Astrology Forecast July 26 – August 1, 2021
If you are single, you can probably take things easy today, as the Pisces Moon calls us to reflect, remember and relax. However, the Moon’s opposition to Venus in Virgo may give rise to intense emotion and frustrated passion that may leave the rest of us feeling restless or discontented in our long-term relationships and marriages. Problems may be forthcoming with partners that can upset our domestic bliss.
Mercury will enter Leo tomorrow, urging our hearts and minds forge ahead into new enterprises over the next few weeks as it energizes and inspires us! The Pisces Moon sextile with Uranus in Taurus will further increase our ability to focus our attention and be more persuasive and determined in our dealings with others.
Things heat up even more Wednesday through Thursday as the Moon marches through Aries and Jupiter, that has gone retrograde since June 20, now backtracks into Aquarius. This can generate a sense of rebellion or frustration, and we’ll need to be careful when anger or aggressiveness rises up. Maintaining composure is of utmost importance until this energy passes.
Luckily, Mars will move into Virgo late Thursday and restore a sense of grounding and decorum to our words and actions. Once Mars, the planet of action, gets settled in Virgo, we’ll have two months of organized and detailed focus, which will give us the power to manifest on a high level.
The ideal aspect of an Aries Moon sextile Jupiter in Aquarius will end the work week on a perfect, optimistic note with financial and social success, and high spirits. With the Moon moving through Taurus over the weekend, we are likely to fill the weekend with productive movement and fun-filled activities. Just try to maintain a good balance: getting your chores done before running out to play is always a good idea.
Spirit Messages Of The Red Cardinal
If you live in North America, you’re probably familiar with the northern cardinal bird, also known as the redbird or red cardinal, commonly found across the continent. These bright red songbirds traditionally feature in the folklore, legends, and spiritual beliefs of various cultures.
The blood red coloring of this little bird’s plumage fascinated our ancestors and it is considered to be symbolic of life and vitality. Interestingly, in the Christian tradition the blood of Christ is a central religious symbol and the red-robed senior clergy of the Catholic Church are also knows as Cardinals.
In indigenous cultures, the cardinal traditionally also represents ongoing life, as well as a strong, lasting relationship because cardinals are a monogamous bird species. The appearance of a red cardinal in your life may indicate a need to start something new or examine existing loyalties and obligations.
Their red feathers certainly stand out amid the more common brown and green found in most of nature. The female cardinal is a lighter shade of pink than the bright red male, which is less easy to see. When you do notice her on your path, she is reminding you to look closer – chances are positive developments are on the horizon.
In native lore they are also associated with the direction of true North, symbolizing the guiding, unchanging Spirit. Folk tradition tells us that to see a cardinal means a departed loved one’s spirit is near, or an angelic guide is trying to send an important message.
Cardinals are also associated with the number 12, representing the annual cycle of months, as red cardinals are a year-round species. In addition, red is the color of the root (first) chakra in Eastern wisdom tradition, and also the Astrological sign of Aries, first in the Zodiac.
Stepping Into Love With Faith And Trust
I meditate on moving by faith every day, creating a course of embodying inner trust. I step out into the fresh air and sunshine, surrounded by the artistic heart of God in nature, and I pray for the divine guidance of the day.
Day by day, step by step, the path forward is revealed. It is often shown and channeled to me in the simplest of ways: a whisper in the wind; a sparkle in the water; a bird dancing to her own song in the sky.
Each message received highlights an inner sensing and an external physical movement to integrate it into being. The course starts within, stepping into the sacred space of the self.
The power of movement to internalize a concept is profound. I invite you to take a moment now to literally step into yourself, the sanctuary of your soul.
Simply close your eyes, take a few deep breaths to clear and cleanse your mind, and then begin to mindfully move forward, consciously feeling the contact of the soles of your feet with the ground or floor beneath you.
Feel its temperature, its texture, and the firmness or softness of its support. Notice the articulation in your foot as the heel lifts, presses through the ball of the foot, rises, reaches, and then lowers again until the toes, ball, and heel touch down and plant into place.
Take three slow steps like this, imbued with the intention of traveling deeper into your true self through each one of them. Let the third step bring your feet to join one another side by side, marking your internal sacred space.
Allow yourself some still silent time to stand there, grounded in your own awareness. Keep your eyes closed, your attention inward, and your breathing gentle, as you feel the sturdiness of your legs, and the length and strength of your spine supporting you. Just be there.
Astrology Forecast July 19 – 25, 2021
We are certainly in for a busy parade of astrological events this week! Venus moves into Virgo on Wednesday, the Sun enters Leo on Thursday, and the Moon waxes full in Aquarius on Friday. So, basically, this week is a triple-header!
However, before the shifts occur later this week, we’ll need to embrace the purpose-filled energy of today’s Scorpio Moon, attending to loose ends and unfinished business that may have been on the back burner for the last few weeks. It is important that we do this in order to to clear a space for new energies to come in later this week.
So, we could end up working late today, or find ourselves having to delegate to get everything on our to-do list completed. But be patient and courteous with coworkers and employees, because the Scorpio Moon square Mars in Leo can cause us to us be hurried, irritable, and difficult to please.
Tomorrow’s Sagittarius Moon will cast a more light-hearted, spirited energy, making harmony and fun an underlying theme as we begin to move forward. Venus will also move out of fanciful Leo and into more grounded Virgo tomorrow, reminding us to be more altruistic and humanitarian in our attitude, and less self-focused for the next few weeks.
It will be easy to tell when the Sun moves into Leo on Thursday, as we begin to move into the final days of the season and start to sense a higher energy and purpose to our movements. For the next four weeks, a heart-centered tone will move us forward, evoking our generous sides and promoting greater self-love and self-care.
Friday’s Aquarius Full Moon arrives at the perfect time, as it promotes release and letting go of any ideas or mindsets that are holding us back. If we embrace this process and shift our thinking, it will be much easier to move into August with renewed hope, passion, and purpose.
The Moon in Aquarius will also make this a great weekend for fun, entertainment and social activities, so plan something crazy and exciting for Saturday!
Astrology Forecast July 12 – 18, 2021
Today’s Leo Moon will fill us with high spirits and a carefree attitude. The Moon’s conjunction with Venus in Leo may add a sentimental streak to our mood, while the conjunction with Mars in Leo adds some passion to the mix. However, be careful not to become temperamental or give in to moodiness. The optimism and lighthearted effervescence of Mercury in Cancer trine Jupiter in Pisces will fortunately help to counteract such negativity.
Tuesday and Wednesday’s Virgo Moon will inspire us to update our wardrobes, surroundings, and electronics, as it makes organizing and refreshing things a priority.
We can’t go wrong with a two-day ‘staycation’ under Thursday and Friday’s Libra Moon, which promotes balance, aesthetic awareness, and an open-minded attitude. You are likely to feel cheerful and spontaneous. It is the perfect time to socialize (safely and responsibly) and reconnect with loved ones.
Romance will also be a priority, so it might be a good idea to move the weekend’s date night up to Thursday evening. Surprise your partner with a romantic movie night or picnic under the stars. And if you are ready to propose then the Moon sextile Venus in Leo, in the early hours of Friday morning, creates the perfect opportunity for love, commitment and marriage.
Over the weekend the Moon drifts through Scorpio, reminding us that life is short and we should enjoy it to the fullest! We can leave chores behind and indulge in our favorite pastimes, as we honor our intuition and go with the flow. Beware however the potential for ‘Sunday blues’ with the Scorpio Moon square Saturn in Aquarius, which brings with it the energy of dissatisfaction and depression.
Staying In The Light
More and more of my clients are telling me these days how they must deal with a lot of negative people and toxicity around them. Many of us are struggling to stay in the light in these dark times.
What does it mean to stay in the light? It is the metaphysical ability or spiritual power to be around energy vampires and greedy, cruel, toxic people, and still being able to stay sane, sober, happy and positive, despite all the negative vibes around you.
We are all sensitive to other people’s energy, but most people are not aware of this fact. Many people come home from work or school, drained, depressed, sad, or angry. They often do not realize that they have picked up other people’s negative energies and toxic vibes.
To protect our aura from toxic people and energy vampires, it is vital that we cultivate a regular spiritual practice and daily energy self-care habits that help shield us from negative influences and make us impervious to the unwelcome vibes around us.
Meditate. A daily meditation or visualization to expand your aura and increase the intensity of light in your personal energy field can make a world of difference in your general well-being and mental health. If you are inexperienced, simply start by listening to guided meditations. There are many easy-to-use streaming apps available for this purpose.
Avoid. It is essential to avoid negativity and toxicity by not engaging in gossip, negative conversations, fearmongering, and the spreading of rumors. Engaging in such negativity, that can potentially harm others energetically, often has a boomerang effect that will come back to haunt you. Our words have power and they carry their own energy vibrations. Instead, be kind, compassionate and tolerant, watch what you say, stay positive, and mind your own business.
Sanitize. Staying in the light means not only keeping your tongue clean, but also your mind. Carefully choose what you read, watch and listen to, and be selective about who you hang out with and what you choose to focus your attention on.
