This month, we call on the Archangels to provide guidance.  I am using the Archangel Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue, PhD. Doreen’s expertise in connecting with the angelic realms is known worldwide, so I trust her advice. I will give my own interpretation of each card, and then add her’s. The question for this month is, “What guidance can you give us during this month of February?” I shuffled the cards while asking the question, then drew the top five cards from the deck, as I was directed intuitively. The following are the cards and the reading for February:

1.  Beloved One: Archangel Chamuel– “I am helping you with your spiritual soulmate relationship.” How appropriate this card presents itself in February. My sense is if you have found your soulmate in a romantic relationship, stay open to any and all possibilities this partnership may generate. Move beyond your limited ideas of what constitutes this type of bonding. Although you may venture out of your comfort zone, Archangel Chamuel will be there to guide aIMG_1166nd support you when you need it. Just call on him when you are feeling unsure. Romantic relationships are not the only type of soulmate connection. Very often the intimacy can be between friends who share a common understanding of their purpose in life, or who understand each other on a higher plane of existence than the earthly plane. Doreen says, “Love is in and around you right now. You don’t need to search for it. Rather, by holding loving thoughts and conducting loving actions, you attract and manifest love in all aspects of your life. Call upon me to guide your thoughts and actions, to bring romance into your life. Converse with me regularly about your love life. I can help you fall in love with your life, and heal and manifest wonderful relationships… [we are told] Chamuel’s aura is pale green, like a springtime leaf in the morning sunlight. You can feel close to Chamuel’s loving energy by wearing or carrying a green fluorite crystal.”

2.  BreaIMG_1169the: Archangel Raphael– “Take several deep breaths, and exhale slowly to awaken your energy and to release old patterns.” Breath is important, of course, to maintain life and we breathe automatically. Mostly, we are unaware of our breath. But when we consciously breathe deeply and slowly, we are more present in our lives to what is going on, both good and not so good. When we take the time to focus on how we feel in the present, we are able to gather important information about our personal state of affairs. Knowing if we are happy or unhappy can help us walk the path of life to our advantage. Discontent is a strong indication that something needs to change. Old patterns that yield the same unwanted results are important to release for our greater good. Doreen tells us, “Often during times of stress, you may unconsciously hold your breath. Yet, as you know, breath is essential to oxygenating your mind, body, spirit, and very life. Write a note to yourself to breathe, as a reminder of the importance of invigorating yourself with deep and steady breaths. Make trips to places where fresh air is plentiful. You’ll also notice, an increase in air quality when you’re near water, such as the beach or a lake. Even taking a shower or bath puts you in touch with the positive ions associated with water and air… [we are told] Raphael’s name means “Whom God heals”, and he is known as the healing angel in charge of physical healings for all living beings. Often, Raphael gives us Divine guidance (intuition, thoughts, ideas, dreams, and so on) about how we can participate in keeping our bodies healthy. When you call upon Raphael for a healing, pay attention to inner impressions, and be sure to follow through upon guidance that calls you to take action.”

3.  Clairvoyance: Archangel Raziel– “I am helping your spiritual sight to awaken fully so you can clearly see Heavenly love.” When we tune into our intuition, which can be expressed as clairvoyance, we have an inner knowingIMG_1173, we see the light. Tuning in to this inner understanding is tuning in to our higher self or soul, which is a direct link to God. The more we tap into this gift which all of us have, the more we understand ourselves and our purpose on earth. Heavenly love is pure love available to us at all times. We just have to tap into it consciously. Taking time to meditate or quiet our mind helps us connect with these messages. Doreen explains, “Your clairvoyance may come in different forms: as fleeting mental images in your mind’s eye; as dreams; as recurring sights in the physical world; as auras and energy; or as apparition experiences. All of the facets of clairvoyance are beautiful and varied. Enjoy and trust them. Hold the intention of seeing only love, and that is what you’ll see… [we are told] Raziel’s aura holds all the colors of the rainbow, like a beautiful prism of light. Working with clear quartz crystals magnifies clairvoyance and help you feel closer to Raziel.”

4.  YoIMG_1177u Are Safe: Archangel Michael– “I am protecting you against lower energies, and guarding you, your loved ones, and home.” Archangel Michael is our protector and can be called upon at any time for assistance. Lower energies bring in unhappiness, disappointment, jealousy, anger, and fear, to name a few. Upon waking in the morning, call on Archangel Michael for protection throughout the day. Be aware of his presence as much as possible. When you’re tuned in, it’s feeling like you have an energetic bodyguard. Doreen explains, “Let go of worries, as I’m surrounding you, your loved ones, home, and possessions with powerful loving light. This light repels lower energies, and attracts loving experiences. Focus on this light and love- instead of on fear- as you’ll attract the object of your focus. With your mind free of fear, you have additional time and energy to devote to your life’s missions. You are free when you are fearless. Know that you are safe at all times, and that my protection is flawless… [we are told] Michael’s chief role is to escort away the lower energies of fear. If you become worried or anxious, mentally ask Michael to bring you peace. You can also ask that he clear your home, office, vehicle, or community of toxic energies. After you call upon Michael, you’ll likely notice a warm feeling. That’s because he has a fiery warrior spirit. You can ask Michael to stay with your continuously, as he’s able to be with everyone who calls upon him simultaneously.”

5.  Counselor: Archangel Azrael– “You are a natural counselor, and many people benefit from your guidance and reassurance.” When we are tuned in to our intuition, our inner knowing, we can be of assistance to others when tIMG_1181hey need advice. Allow your appropriate experiences and your connection to Source be a guide to helping others, rather than your ego. Tapping into empathy and compassion help you along this path. Doreen says, “Your life purpose involves counseling people in ways that uplift, motivate, comfort, heal, and inspire. You’re a true spiritual counselor, and people find you to be a trustworthy confidante. Expand your counseling work to the next level, because you’re about to help greater numbers of people. Call upon me for guidance and support…. [we are told] Azrael’s name means “Whom God Helps”, and he helps those who are helpers. He’s particularly interested in helping counselors who work with the grieving or dying. Ask Azrael to guide your words and actions during counseling sessions, and he’ll help you remain patient and compassionate. He can also help you enter the counseling profession and guide you toward schooling, internships, and a wonderful counseling practice.”

The Archangels are encouraging us to rely on them in many ways, in order to understand ourselves better, as well as understand our purpose on earth. When we tap into deeper levels of understanding, we not only help ourselves, but all mankind also. The more love and well-being each of us radiates into the world, the closer we collectively come to peace and harmony. Let us all do our part. Namaste.
