Archangel Michael offers us protection, confidence, and courage. Doreen Virtue, PhD, author of this Archangel Michael Oracle Card deck, tells us, “Archangel Michael is a powerful non-denominational angel who provides protection and clear answers to your questions. He’s also unlimited, and therefore able to be with everyone simultaneously, having unique and individual experiences with every person. Like the other angels, he respects your free will, so he won’t intervene without your permission. But once you ask for his help, he’s there in every way.” This month, he brings us advice concerning relationships. All relationships are included in this reading, including your relationship with yourself, parent-child, siblings, friendships, romantic, platonic, business, even with pets. Think about how this advice pertains to you as you read along.

Four cards were drawn for this month’s reading:

1. The person you’re asking about is trustworthy; It is good to believe each individual is doing the best he or she can in any circumstance. Very few people are deliberately hurtful. Give them the benefit of the doubt until they prove they don’t deserve it. Doreen says, “You drew this card as reassurance that you can rely on the person involved with this situation (and that includes trusting yourself, too). Everyone makes mistakes or acts selfishly occasionally, yet by and large, the individual you’re thinking of is dependable. He or she cares about you and will act accordingly in loving ways. Archangel Michael asks you not to expect this person to be perfect, as this puts too much pressure on the relationship. Instead, view and treat your comrade as you’d want to be treated: with love and compassion.”

Possible specific meanings:

– Your idea is valid and trustworthy;

– The person you’ve just met will become a new romantic partner;

– Believe what this person is saying, even if you don’t like what you’re hearing;

– This individual will make a good business partner;

– Let go of blaming others, and give anger or unforgiveness to the angels for healing.

An offering to Archangel Michael: Thank you for helping me have faith so I can open my heart wider in my relationships. I am grateful for your protection, ensuring that only trustworthy people are in my life.

2. Make a commitment; A strong relationship must have commitment on each person’s part. Each person’s best interest should be taken into account, and always extend the benefit of the doubt. We are told, “You drew this card because you’re asking about how to improve a situation. Archangel Michael advises you to fully commit to your desired outcome. If you’re tentative, or unsure if you’re deserving or worthy enough, then the final result will be unsatisfacatory. However, by making a commitment, you’ll help spark movement in your life.”

Possible specific meanings:

– Commit to your current relationship to create more intimacy and satisfaction;

– Allow yourself to fully enjoy each moment;

– Completely immerse yourself in an exciting project;

– If you’re a musician or an artist, become deeply mindful of every note played or each stroke of your paintbrush;

– Be confident as you speak and write.

An offering to Archangel Michael: Archangel Michael, as the angel of courage and confidence, I call upon you to lend me your strength. Allow me to commit to myself, my life, and my Divine purpose. Please clearly guide me so I can fully open my heart to every experience.

3. Be gentle with yourself; Sometimes, we are hardest on ourselves. This happens for many reasons, but often we feel we must measure up to standards of some sort. If it doesn’t feel right, let it go. Seek a comfortable fit so that you will feel satisfied with yourself and others will enjoy the energy coming from you. Doreen shares, ” Archangel Michael is guiding you toward honoring your sensitivity- emotionally and physically. You’ve been pushing yourself too hard, while often berating yourself for “imperfections,” which are in your imagination. This card serves as a reminder that you’re doing the best you can in the circumstances you’re dealing with. So give yourself a break, slow down, and be good to yourself.

Possible specific meanings:

– Remove yourself from a harsh situation or relationship;

– Eat a more healthy diet;

– Avoid chemicals in your food and environment;

– Get more sleep;

– Switch to a gentler form of exercise;

– Speak lovingly about yourself and others;

– Quiet time is needed.

An offering to Archangel Michael: Archangel Michael, please guide me in treating myself with gentle, nurturing love in everything I think, speak, and do. Help me know that I deserve this compassion. I release any feelings of guilt to you so that I may experience lasting inner peace.

4. This situation is already resolved; Whenever and whatever we desire immediately gets the angels’ attention. Michael wants us to know often we must catch up to that which has already transpired on an energetic level. If we truly want a situation to be resolved, it will be. Doreen tells us, “This card comes to you as reassurance that the situation you’re inquiring about is happily concluded. The angels have been working behind the scenes to heal the source of your concerns. Although you may not yet see how the issue has been resolved, trust that it has. Let go of worries, and relax with the certainty that all is well.

Possible specific meanings:

– There’s nothing to worry about;

– Everything will turn out fine;

– This relationship is worth saving;

– Stay in your current situation, as the problems will soon be resolved.

An offering to Archangel Michael: I give any worries, cares, and concerns to you in exchange for true peace in all ways. Thank you for resolving this situation in a Divinely perfect way.

Archangel Michael always works in our best interest. Trust that he will work with each and every one of us to maintain the relationship with ourselves and others strong, loving, and satisfying. Namaste.
