Goal Setting with The Emperor and the Angels

Welcome to 2020!

I know we have been here for over a week now, but I haven’t had the time to actually sit down and write this thing!

You can glean from the title that we are going to be talking about Archangels Michael and Uriel, The Emperor, and what it means for us.

To find out what Archangels are with you, book a Spiritual Team Reading (Click the Text to be taken to check out)!

Archangel Michael from The Angel Tarot and Archangel Uriel from the Archangel Power Tarot

Archangel Michael from The Angel Tarot and Archangel Uriel from the Archangel Power Tarot


2019 was a 12 Year, which associates us with the Hanged Man in the major arcana. So, if 2019 felt a little off kilter or like you were treading water, that is why. The hanged man doesn’t move. He gracefully swings by his feet while offering you a chance to reconnect with your true perspective. Likewise, if you felt turned upside down and shaken like a mother fucker, that’s his energy as well. However, you moved on, you’re here. Now let’s get down to business (to defeat the huns) with the Emperor and Archangels Michael and Uriel.

2020 (2+0+2+0=4) brings us the gift of things being set right. The Emperor doesn’t fuck around, nor do they entertain bullshit. Much the archangels associated with the cards in the Angel Tarot and Archangel Power Tarot, Michael and Uriel, the Emperor gives us the chance to clear away the nasty shit that we have been carrying with us and brings us the gifts of structure, logic, willpower, determination, and ambition. 

Associated with the sign of Aries, the headstrong, independent, and steadfast goat of the Zodiac, The Emperor comes to help us sweep up all the dirt, and tie up loose ends. Much like the sign of Aries brings us Spring, the Emperor brings us the opportunity to do some spring cleaning. This includes your mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional spaces. Don’t carry things that aren’t yours to carry any more. Ask yourself “Is it logical to carry these burdens?”, “How does carrying these burden negatively impact me and those around me?”.

How does this work with Angels? I am so glad you asked. Michael and Uriel (I’m going to call them the Sparkly Strong Arm of Heaven) can add that Angelic boost act you are looking for to help you achieve your goals and leave behind the things that are longer serving you, while helping you remain accountable for the the situations that you perpetuated, and they do it in a loving way.


Archangel Michael is the bouncer of heaven, no negativity gets though him. 

Archangel Uriel is the Light of God, nothing escapes him. He can make sure you hit your mark!

These two angels can bring you into powerful alignment with the Emperor energy of 2020 by aiding you to only work on what is going to further your path. If something is a dead end, leave it alone and walk away. If you are setting goals this year, ask Uriel to shine is light on them and ask Michael to protect not only your goals, but your personal energy field as you move through this year.

Working with the Sparkly Strong Arm of Heaven (SSAOH) is a guaranteed way to align with the Emperor energy and to see your goals come to fruition. Oh, you want an exercise to help you? I’m glad you asked!

What you will need:

  • Pen

  • 2 Pieces of Paper (or a notes app)

  • Tea Light Candle (if you want)

  • An Emperor Card (Picture or Physical Card)

1: Write down your goals on one piece of paper

2: Place the Emperor card on top of your goals (or simply draw the Aries Glyph and the number 4 on it if you don’t have access to a card)

3: Visualize Gold Glittery Light and Bright Purple light covering your goals. These are the colors for SSAOH. 

4: If you feel comfortable say the following prayer: “ Archangels Michael and Uriel (or Sparkly Strong Arm of Heaven), Please bring attention to my goals. Help them come to fruition in my mind and in my energy field so that I can see them in the physical world. Please protect my goal from any lower vibrations and negative energy and show me the next actionable steps to achieve these goals in the way that Emperor would. Thank you for helping me to remain focused, steadfast, determined, and dedicated to my goals and for helping me see them through. So it is”

4: After you either say the prayer, or sit with the Gold and Purple Light for a while, take out your second piece of paper and immediately begin to write action steps that feel good to you. Let your pen be guided by the Archangels.

5: Once you are finished, keep your goals and actions steps in a place where you can see them and know that the Angels have your back!

Here’s to a wonderful 2020 with the Sparkly Strong Arm of Heaven!

Being Indigo and an Archangel Message!

Hello lovely people,

I know that it’s been a while since I have been on here and written a post and I do apologize for that. Things have been a tiny bit crazy for me and I haven’t made time to sit down and write like I want to. 

So since my last post, I discovered that I, like probably quite a few of you, am an Indigo Child. Now, I know that some people think it’s fashionable to call themselves ‘crystal children’, ‘indigo children’, ‘empathic’ and all of that jazz just for attention and I assure you that is not the case here. In fact it’s the exact opposite. I resisted even thinking about being an Indigo Child, not saying it’s bad but I just didn’t want to have something else to work on to add to me growing list of things. 

I guess Spirit/The Universe/whatever had other plans for me though. I was guided to an article about Indigo Children and said “what the hell let me read this and just see what it’s about”. I was amazed at how I resonated with it! Indigos are super strong willed and we prefer to do things our on way instead of the way our parents and authority would like us to (CHECK! haha). Indigo people also diagnosed with ADD or ADHD which ‘checks’ another box for me. Our brains move faster and can process information faster so we tend to space the hell out when people are talking to us. These are just a few characteristics of Indigo children/people, however, there are tons more! But this leads us to the ‘let’s sit and chat for a spell’ part of the post. 

Indigo Card Talk

Using my ‘Indigo Angels Oracle Cards’, I asked what I was supposed to talk about today as I was shuffling and got the ‘Time to Create’ card.

We have 2 meanings for this and I want to go through both of them with you.

Meaning 1: You have been putting off something that you are called to do. Just because the card features an artist doesn’t mean you have to go paint a mural. What has your soul been calling you to do? What is that yearning you have in your heart? It’s time. Now. This is your sign if you have been looking for it. You don’t need to know the why or the how behind what you are called to do, let The Universe handle that. Just say “I am ready” and that will set the wheels in motion for you to get the guidance, support, and power you need to do whatever it is you need to. Just remain open to ANY guidance that you get even if it is to go to Target at 9:30 at night haha, you never ever know what may happen and who you might meet or what may happen!

Meaning 2: If you are an Indigo, you have pent up feelings and aggression, which is normal but you need to channel them into something creative. Buy a coloring book, paint a picture, write, dance, sing, anything. We as Indigos have such a hard time focusing on one specific task a seeing it through ( I call it ‘Shiny Syndrome’) because we are always onto the next task before one is completely finished. Archangel Metatron is the ‘keeper’, if you will, of us Indigo people and can also help us in any aspect of our lives to stay true to ourselves and to our spiritual gifts. This leads me to the next part of this post.

Spiritual Gifts and Being Indigo

If you are like me, you grew up in the Bible Belt and anything supernatural was of the Devil. Now I want to preface with the fact that I only had one Supernatural experience that I remember during childhood, there wasn’t a moment of being told “you can’t use this gift because you will go to hell” nor was there any suppressing of any Psychic ability. However, if you went through that, I am terribly sorry. I had a slightly different experience where anything supernatural (other that a guy healing people and rising from the dead to save you from going to a place that doesn’t exist so that an organization can get your money) was discouraged from the get-go. I remember always being intrigued by the world of the supernatural though, from Greek Mythology to my first tv Psychic Sylvia Browne (RIP) I was hooked. I felt a kindredness with the otherworldly things even among warnings that it was wrong. The reason I bring this up is that it has caused me some issues now that I am an adult in fully submersing myself into anything Spiritual until about a year ago maybe. Since we are Indigos, if our gifts aren’t nurtured or accepted, we can shut them down easily, and this isn’t what we need to do, especially now when are so needed in this world to be the bright lights that we are. If you find yourself in this position, all you have to do is ask Archangel Metatron to help you slowly open yourself up to your gifts. That’s it. He will help you without hesitation. 

Metatron Message

When I asked Metatron for a message he said this: “I am always here. It takes only a whisper and you will feel my presence. Beloved Indigo, I have been blessed with the ability to watch over you and help you down your life’s journey. I will never leave any of you, but will never be able to intervene without you inviting me to. I respect you, brave one, for choosing to come into this world bearing gifts that others dream of to heal, uplift, and change the energy of everyone you meet and of the planet on which you live. You are special, and you are who the world needs. For we need those that see no color or division, to rise up and remain in their gifts to help raise others up to bring unity to all you see. You are loved.”

I hope you have found this useful, please let me know in the comments!

Step Up, Stay Grounded, and Get to Work!

Hey guys. It’s no secret that in the recent months tragedy after tragedy has occurred, leaving us feeling scared, vulnerable, and uneasy. Some of us feel these things more than others, and that is okay. Some of us try to block it out and ignore it, and that isn’t okay. As lightworkers, we are going to be confronted with negative situations and we have to know how to handle them, or we won’t be very effective in our healing work. 

    Our job description is to help the world and be able to spread light and love to heal all that is wrong. We can’t do this by blocking out negativity. Think of a wave of water coming at you, if you anchor yourself into the sand, you have a better chance of staying on your feet when you are anchored.

    That is what grounding does for us! By grounding, we remain unmovable in our beliefs and in the light that we are here to spread.

So how can you remain grounded? I’m glad you asked.

  1. Unplug from the media and technology. It is so easy to get engrossed in your computer, phone, tablet, tv, and whatever else you have. While these things aren’t bad at all (I work at Verizon so they literally help me pay bills) but they are tools that can bring us down and keep us in a  cycle of fear energy that we don’t need.
  2. Take a walk in nature. So this may seem obvious but it can really help to connect with nature and just relax. However, if it is too hot to go outside, then listen to nature music, spend time with your pet, get a plant, something to bring nature to you.
  3. Ask for help! Know that your Angels are ALWAYS around you and WANT to help you! Sometimes we get lost in all of the hurt and confusion of the world and we wonder where our help is. The answer is all around us. I am so guilty of this. I sit back and wonder, why is this happening? And then I realize that I have a small part in helping this, just like you do. We can ask our Angels to help us get, and stay, grounded and they WILL reply. 
  4. Meditate. This is a hard one for a lot of people, myself included, to do consistently because life does get in the way and we lose our priorities along the way. This isn’t a beat up, but we all do it. Meditation is wonderful for connecting us to Source/God/The Universe and our Angels to receive messages that can help the world grow and help us grow stronger.
  5. This is one of my favorites to do. You can actually do this as you are sitting down at work, home, or school. Visualize roots coming out of your feet and stretching into the Earth. Take deep breaths in and out and do this for as long as you can, need, or want to.
  6. I asked the Angels for a message and they said this: “Be Present”. This is remarkable because how often to we worry or think about the future? Way too often. We are hardly ever just present in the moment and we aren’t THANKFUL and GRATEFUL in that space. It’s cliche but true when they say “The Present is a gift”. This is SUPER important to remember because when we take it moment by moment and stop worrying about things that are out of our control, that helps us remain grounded and centered in our bodies and spirits.
  7. Sending Light to the world. When you do see those horrible news stories, send light to that location and to the people involved. Then CUT YOUR CORDS TO IT! Don’t let it remain a part of your energy field and aura.
  8. Carrying on from the previous, cut your cords to any place and any person that causes you unrest and don’t be sorry about it. We as lightworkers and sensitive people often feel like we have to be the ‘listening ear’ to ever damn thing in the world and that IS NOT true! If you feel like you are being drained energetically, just walk away. It isn’t rude to put your energetic and spiritual needs FIRST! In fact, you NEED to. You’ve got this! Ask Archangels Michael and Metatron to help you with this, and then ACT on what you think, feel, hear, and see as guidance comes to you.

I really hope that this has helped you. My prayers are with all of us and the world. You’ve got this! 

Angel Blessings,

Andrew

Acceptance and Healing!

Hello Everyone,

 

This is the first blog post I have written in a while, due to my crazy busy schedule and just being generally exhausted haha. But I was told to draw a card and write about it. So here it goes:

This world needs love, tolerance, and acceptance. We have suffered a huge loss this week and we can’t let this happen again. But how can we change things? What can little folks like us do to make a difference? 

The card I drew is “Acceptance” from the Daily Guidance from your Angels Oracle Cards. We have GOT to start looking at others through they eyes of Angels. There is good AND evil, positive AND negative, inside all of us! We can’t escape that. 

So what if people have different political views? Yes, it may be infuriating, but what if we focused on sending them positive energy instead of tearing them down, even if that’s what they do to others? Why are people so upset at one person loving another person? Does gender really matter? NO! The Bible says to pray for those who persecute you and, while the Bible and I have decided to see other people, that rings true on an energetic level as well! 

When we are operating in a high vibration, we are able to see things WAY more clear. Keeping our vibrations high can be as simple as just thanking the Universe/God/Source/Whatever for what you have and showing gratitude. It could be smiling at a stranger that helps them have the courage to be nice to others and start a ripple effect. 

People need us. If you are lightworker, GET TO WORK!  We are here to spread love, peace, and tolerance. Get involved in causes close to your hearts. Become an advocate for what you believe in. Take a stand to let others know that they are NOT alone! 

Show unconditional love to others! 

That being said; unconditional love is NOT being treated like a doormat and letting people walk all over you. Also, loving yourself is just as important. You have to send love to yourself before you can send love to other people!  Own how fucking amazing you are and send that energy out to others! They will begin to feel that way as well! 

Go forth. Love Yourself. Love Others. Change the world!

Connecting with Angels

 

    Whether you are a seasoned pro at Angels like Doreen Virtue, or a complete and total novice having only heard of Angels in Church or not at all, we can all benefit from knowing how to connect with Angels in all of the many different ways that are available to us! That’s what this post is all about!

    So, let’s lay some groundwork, Angels are basically messengers of God. They are extensions of Divine Energy, Light, and Love. So there is nothing to be afraid of in asking for their help. Don’t pay attention to the crazy people who claim that Angels belong to a certain belief system either, that is just B.S. Angels are nondenominational and you do NOT have to be a perfect little boy or girl for them to help you. So know that no matter who you are, or what you have done, they are ALWAYS willing to help you!

 While there are literally zillions of ways to connect that are unique to each person, I am going to cover only a few.

Asking for Help

The first of these seems really easy (because it is) because it is simply ASKING! That’s right. Asking. By just asking for help, you open yourself for a multitude of heavenly hosts to sweep in and lift out of trouble. Of course, we have to know that an Angels isn’t going to come down in all of its heavenly glory and help you get out of a speeding ticket, that isn’t what they are for. Now, don’t get me wrong in saying that they WON’T help with that, they can, if you were maybe distracted or having a bad day, but not if you were intentionally speeding, as that could hurt someone else potentially. Angels aren’t that ‘Get out of Jail Free Card’  that is at your disposal day and night. They are beings that truly care for you, want to help you, and want to see you succeed and have a beautiful life!

This brings me to Free Will. The Angels can only help us if we ask, unless it is a case for Divine Intervention and they need to step in to save your life or something like that. If you are looking for a new job and are wondering why the Angels aren’t helping you, stop and ask yourself if you actually ASKED them for help. If you did, then don’t take the silence personally, they are just working for you bringing you what you desire in the right time table for Heaven. If you didn’t, then go ahead and get on that! It’s amazing that sometimes just asking for help seems like too much, like we don’t have time for it and then we wonder why things go to hell in a hand basket. Angels are standing around you at all times, Angels that are ASSIGNED to YOU and ONLY YOU, and they want to be put to work! Don’t ever think that you are asking too much of your Angels, they were made to help you! 

Clairvoyance

This means that you ‘see’ the Angels clearly and that you ‘see’ the messages that they have for you. This happens in your mind’s eye, like a movie in your head. This can be a tad overwhelming for a lot of people when it first happens because you don’t know what to expect and you are worried that you are going to see something negative. i can assure you that, if you ask for protection, you won’t see anything scary. So, without getting way too deep for a ‘101’ post, You can just ask your Angels to help you be able to see them and then pay attention to what you ‘see’ when you look at other people or even when you ‘zone out’. You may start out seeing colors, and that is GREAT! This particular way to connect with your Angels is wonderful and is truly a gift! To cultivate this gift, meditate and ask your Angels to clear any residual (gross and sticky) energy from your Third Eye Chakra, located between your eyebrows. When this energy is out of whack you will notice that you have a hard time ‘seeing’ clearly. Like it’s not focused enough. For me, when I was scared of Clairvoyance, I saw lower and negative energies that were manifestations of my fear. I got rid of the fear, and haven’t seen them since! So don’t be afraid! Especially those of you who were brought up to believe that it is evil…let that belief go, breathe, and be happy! Happy ‘Seeing’! 

Claircognizance

This is when you have a very clear thought that is sent from Heaven and your Angels. This is another amazing way that the Angels will connect with you. If you are having a hard time with a project, or a job, person, or even a pet, you can ask the Angels for ideas and then be open to what you receive from them! This also works when we pray for guidance. Our prayers are often answered in the form of ideas and thoughts. So we have to make sure that we are always on our toes to receive those answers! These answers come from your Crown Chakra located at the top of your noggin. When this is balanced and in line, you are in constant communication with the Divine and you let it guide your words thoughts and actions in every way. When this particular chakra is out of whack, you are going have those negative, degrading, sad, and useless thoughts that aren’t self serving but rather are detrimental to your spirit. Like Clairvoyance, cultivating this gift can be done through meditation. Asking the Angels, once again, to remove residual energies from that Crown Chakra. There is so much to be said for Claircognizance and it’s ability to deepen your relationship with the Angels is truly profound. I feel that this gift is often glossed over when it is one of the most crucial ways of connecting with Angels, Guides, and the Divine itself! 

Clairaudience

 I love this one. It is my primary sense when I connect with Angels, Departed loved ones, and other energies. This is when you hear clearly, the guidance from your Angels. This one actually took me aback when it happened the first time because I was so caught up in wanting to ‘see’ them that I didn’t much think about ‘hearing’ them! I have to say, it is amazing when you get messages this way. And all you have to do is ask your Angels to whisper to you what they want you to know. This is an particularly interesting gift because once you open yourself up to it, the Angels can be little chatter-boxes! They are always telling you what you need to do, giving you advice, and sometimes just saying ‘Hi!’. Be careful that you when you ask to connect with your Angels through Clairaudience that you are protecting your energy as well. Your Ego loves to trip you up when you begin to open yourself up to guidance from your Angels. They will never say anything negative, degrading, or hurtful to you or about you. If this happens then immediately ask that your energy, and the energy around you, be cleared. 

Clairsentience

This is the last of the “Clairs” . This is all about FEELING! When I conduct Mediumship readings and a Spirit is proud of the Client, they make me feel proud and happy! This a beautiful gift because it can literally give you hope and peace. If you are stressed out, just ask your Angels for feelings of peace and happiness. They WILL come through for you! Pay attention to everything you feel (if you are a Cancer, this is easy haha) once you ask for guidance and just let it flow through you! It’s just that simple! 

  Tarot/Oracle Cards

One more way to connect with Angels is the one I use every single day. Tarot and Oracle Cards, Angel oriented or not, are a wonderful way to get guidance! The greatest this about this method is that it can ‘trigger’ any one, or ALL, of the gifts mentioned above!  Every single person on earth has the gifts that I have talked about, it just takes practicing them! Tarot and Oracle cards have such an amazing source of inspiration for myself and millions of people. The Angels can use these as well if you let them! Sit quietly, get rid of distractions, breathe and center yourself, ask your Angels a question, shuffle the deck until you feel the need to stop, and draw a card! It is that simple! If you are interested in this method but don’t have any decks of your own, I HIGHLY suggest the Archangel Power Tarot Cards and The Archangel Oracle Cards, both by Doreen Virtue. They are AMAZING at helping you connect with your Angels! 

 I truly hope this post has helped you and enlightened you! If you would like an Angelreading with me, you can click here! I would to help you connect to your Angels and empower you to do the same! 

Be blessed you beautiful soul!

My Interview with Vicky Maxwell!!

So it's safe to say that I absolutely adore Vicky and her work at New Age Hipster! I was so happy to be able to interview her! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did!  

When did you start working with Angels and how did your interest get 'peaked' in the topic?

A couple of years ago I was putting in a crystal order online and for no apparent reason whatsoever I found myself clicking the buy button on a pack of Angel cards. I actually can't even remember what was going through my mind as I did it! The cards came and I was hooked. I had them for a week and had started getting really into the energy, it was so easy to connect with! I started asking the Angels for signs and I remember finding a white feather on the couch! :O There's just no way it could have gotten there by itself. I was totally hooked from that moment on!

 

What Angel do you work with most often?

Archangel Michael. He's always with me. I'm pretty sure he's actually one of my guardian angels too since he never leaves my side! Archangel Raphael is around a lot too. He's super cute.

 

What is your process of 'tuning in' to your intution and/or the Angels?

It really depends what I'm doing. Sometimes I just whisper to myself - "Angels what do you most need me to know?" Other times I'll do a big hoo-hah with candles, visualisations, calling all the Angels in. I really think it's super important to do what works for you and what feels right. I'm always discovering new ways of tuning in! I will say that crystals definitely help me though, especially selenite!

 

What is the most powerful experience you have had with an Angel/God/ Goddess/Spirit?

When I first started working with Angels Archangel Raphael came to me when I was sick. It was just a head cold, but I was acting like it was man flu (I'm not very good at being sick!). I called him in and was talking to him like I was on my death bed. I felt this burst of air across my body and he just started talking to me! We had this amazing conversation about why it was part of the human experience to have a cold sometimes. He was hilarious, such a great sense of humour. We just got along so well. I also had this cool experience when I woke up one night and I know I wasn't meant to and I saw this amazing green light over my body! :O

 

You are currently running your business full-time, and that is AMAZING! What suggestions or tips do you have for those who are wanting to take that leap?

That it's really hard work. I had this vision of myself in fluffy slippers watching infomercials and taking the odd call, but that couldn't be further from the truth! I worked my butt off starting my biz as a side gig for ages. I worked nights and weekends while I worked full time in a really stressful job. I did 100 free readings for strangers (I'd been reading for friends for years) before I started selling my services. Running a spiritual biz isn't just about doing readings, you have to learn the business side of things too, which isn't always easy! Marketing, software, systems, finances, sales, taxes. But if you're willing to put in the time, energy and love it can be the best thing you ever do!

 

What hurdles did you have to get through when it came to reading for others?

The biggest thing I struggled with was confidence. My friends had been telling me for years they loved my readings, but I always thought they were just saying that because they had to! Doing 100 readings for people I didn't know really helped me with that, and I'd recommend it to anyone who isn't that confident in their ability yet, or at least do readings for donations or pretty cheap. At the end I had 98% accuracy and learned two really important lessons from the 2% and I thought that was pretty good so I started my biz!

 

What is your process for creating spreads?

I read intuitively so I don't always use a spread in my readings, I usually just shuffle and see in my mind's eye where the cards are going to go and what they mean. Sometimes I'll hear a number like 7 in my head and then I'll put down 7 cards and they will tell me the positions and what they mean. If I'm reading for myself I'll write it down quickly and I then test it with a few different spreads, make some alterations if needed and that's that!

 

What is the most used deck in your collection?

My most used Angel deck is probably Daily Messages from your Angels (my first deck!) or the Archangel Oracle cards, both by Doreen Virtue! My most used Tarot deck is the Rider Waite Smith.

 

What advice to do you have for those who want to work with Angels who haven't before?

It's super easy. Close your eyes right now and just say - hey angels, wanna hang out? Grab yourself a deck of cards and don't look back!

Angel Blessings guys!!!

Angel Numbers!

Hey everyone! I don't know if you all knew this, but Angel Numbers are what helped me start my journey into the world of Spirituality. They provided untold amounts of support and validation when I was trying my hardest to make sense of this new world I had found. I can confidently say that, without angel numbers, I wouldn't be where I am today! So, please enjoy this beautiful graphic from ask-angels.com! I am so grateful that they shared it with me, and I hope it helps you dive into the world of messages from Angels in numbers! 

*Everything below here came from Ask-Angels.com and is used with their permission*

"Pay attention! Angel numbers are a common way for angelic beings to send
messages.
So what are angel numbers?

Essentially, angel numbers are just numbers that keep showing up. Either
you keep seeing a certain number over and over again, or you just happen
to see a specific number or number sequence after asking for guidance and
calling for help from your angels.

Angels want to help you in your life. They want to guide you towards
greater joy, love and fulfillment.
And so the angels are bringing your attention to these numbers in hopes
that you notice them, and tune into the deeper meaning.

Seem like a roundabout way for the angels to communicate?

While angels can and will offer guidance directly, for most people this
direct guidance is filtered out by the ego mind.

So the main reason angels use numbers, signs and signals to communicate is
to bypass the ego.
Noticing numbers is simple, easy, and non-threatening for your mind.

The angels hope you’ll notice the number, and then look into what it means.

To help you with the second part, check out the visual guide to
interpreting angel numbers below.
With this you can easily decipher the guidance and messages your angels
are sending you through numbers.
