Each month, I am encouraged to read a set of angel cards to discover the messages and lessons the angels want us to hear and understand. Each deck of cards was compiled by Doreen Virtue, PhD. Because it is the beginning of a new year, I have chosen six decks to create an overview of the first half of the year. For each deck, I asked the question of the angels, “What important information do we need to know for this half of 2015?” Then I searched intuitively through the deck to find the card to be read. The following reading uses one deck at a time. The information can be used for the numbered months, or can be taken as general information for this year, or both. It’s up to you.
1. Healing With the Angels Cards (January): The card chosen was “Divine Timing”. This card shows a cherub ready to shoot an arrow. Divine timing can be equated with “everything happens for a reason”. Often we want what we want whe
n we want it. However, that isn’t always what we need. Doreen tells us, “Your prayers are being answered, there is no doubt about that. However, everything operates according to the Universal Laws of Divine Timing. This means that certain pieces of the puzzle must first fall into place so that other parts can come to fruition. If you try to skip or rush certain pieces or parts, the whole plan will lack a solid foundation Don’t try to force open any doors that appear closed to you. Instead, ask your angels for guidance to see if the door closed because of negative expectations, or if it’s simply a sign of Divine Timing. Look for other doors that do open, and walk through them with faith and gratitude.” When you are struck with an arrow, it can be a wake-up call to consider how your life is unfolding, or it can be a difficulty that you need to attend to before you can move on. Call on your angel guides to help you understand the situation.
2. Archangel Raphael Healing Cards (February): The chosen card says, “Yes! Dear Archangel Raphael, please help me trust my feelings as the accurate barometer of truth.” Archangel Raphael is looking over a
newborn baby, offering good health and guidance for a healthy and prosperous life. Our guidance comes from paying attention to our feelings, positive, negative, or indifferent. They help us to understand whether we are progressing or regressing, or just standing still. Doreen says, “This card is a talisman to help you deal with current situations and prepare for the future. Sometimes the greatest gift you can receive is knowing what to expect next. Raphael remind you that everything can change in even more positive directions, so stay open to your intuitive wisdom, which will guide you along the way.” Focus on your positive emotions to keep them positive, and look at the negative ones to consider how they can be changed for the better.
3. Ascended Masters Cards (March): I chose the card, “Yoga. Babaji (is the ascended master).” Yoga is a beneficial practice for the mind, emotions, body, and spirit. It can be meditative, calming, and help to develop a st
rong body. When we are in tune with each level of existence, we can lead a positive, productive life. Doreen guides us to understand, ” Babaji and the other ascended masters guide you to do yoga regularly… Through yoga, you’ll gain increased clarity, energy, flexibility, toning, and psychic awareness. You may also meet wonderful new friends and have fun at yoga classes. Yoga is an ancient tradition among spiritual practitioners because of these many esoteric and material benefits. Babaji …learned to overcome all physical limitations. Many believe that he ascended with his physical body, which may account for the various sightings of a solid, living Babaji that people have reported. Babaji encouraged Paramahansa Yogananda to teach yoga to the Western world as a way of spreading enlightenment.”
4. Magical Messages From the Fairies (April): The fairies want you to consider “Emotional Healing: As your heart heals of old emotional pain, you receive new blessings and love.” Let go of the old to make r
oom for the new. The lovely fairy on our card wears an emerald around her neck and reflects this beautiful emerald color at her heart. This color corresponds to the heart chakra. When the energy of this chakra is strong and clear, so is the color. This color is also a sign of good health. As you let go of the old pain, your heart chakra becomes open to new experiences and can accept the love that comes your way. Doreen tells us, “This card signifies that you’re healing some old emotional pain- the first thing that comes to mind is exactly the issue you’re resolving. As you let go of anger, guilt, or other emotional wounds, you awaken a new level of power within yourself that attracts everything you desire…and more. Call upon the fairies, as well as supportive people or professionals, to help you through this time of healing. Know that you’re lovable and that you deserve a happy heart.”
5. Life Purpose Cards (May): The next card to consider is “Bodywork: Your life purpose involves bodywork, such as massage therapy, energy healing, physical therapy, or exercise training.” Each of these areas involves some
sort of healing or conditioning for the mind, emotions, body, and/or spirit. This year it is important to be in the best shape possible on all levels, as this will help keep your vibration high. When you maintain a high vibration, you are able to influence other people’s well being. As each person raises his or her frequency, the well being of the planet is also affected. Doreen tells us, “You drew this card as encouragement to involve yourself in bodywork to heal yourself and others. Receiving and giving massage and other forms of physical care is at the center of your life purpose. It appears that you have “healing hands” and have naturally been drawn to the healing arts for some time. This card is validation that this is a fulfilling path for you to go down. The challenge is for you to take excellent care of your own body as you find avenues to provide care for others. You’re naturally a giver, and that includes sending healing energy to your clients and loved ones. Be sure to include yourself in this mix and take the time for exercise, massage, and receiving treatments as well. You’re encouraged to take classes that mirror your natural interests in various healing modalities. Taking an eclectic approach to bodywork will ensure that these interests stay keen and at a high level.”
6. The Romance Angel Cards (June): Finally, in June we are asked to “Express Your Love: Go ahead and make the romantic gesture.” How perfect! June, the month of brides, enhances this message. But if you are feeling stron
gly, don’t save it up for this month. The world needs as much love as can be produced, so take a chance if you feel so inclined. We are being told, “This card urges you to take the initiative in your love life! That may mean contacting someone to whom you’re attracted and asking that person out on a date. It could also mean sending flowers, texts, or gifts to your beloved. As you express romance, these feelings pour through you. You actually become the biggest beneficiary of your romantic displays, as you enjoy how they make you feel to an even greater degree. The more you give love, the more you experience it. Of course, do make sure that you’re also open to receiving the love that comes to you from God, the angels, and other people.”
So the angels are encouraging us in many ways this first part of this year. They are asking us to see the bigger picture of our lives; pay attention to our feelings to help guide our path; take care of our body, mind, and spirit through yoga; look to see what emotional pains need healing and get help if necessary; be involved in some sort of bodywork to keep our vibrations high to help ourselves and others; and express love in any way we can. It’s all about taking care of ourselves, our friends, our community, and the world in general. The angels offer their assistance. All you have to do is ask.
