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!

"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 youll 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.

Spirit (read this)
Alright guys, saddle up (pony up?). This is going to be some deep shit.
So, pour a glass of wine, sit down, and lets chat.
We are going to talk about Spirit. Yes, Spirit. We aren’t going to be talking about Tarot, but what I think is the foundation of Tarot, at least for me.
Spirit takes on many, many forms. Each different based on the region of the world, the belief system, culture, family, and even varies from individual to individual.
I was told something a while back: “Spirit brings to us what is relevant to us in that moment to help us on our journey”. What prompted this question was my Christian upbringing. Coming from a religious household, I was beat over the head with the bible (not literally) and told that bad people go to hell and good people to heaven (more or less).
Leaving the church was a decision that kind of made itself. I am going to talk about myself here…so stick with me. When I say that the decision made itself, I mean that it came so naturally to me. I had left the Protestant church searching for answers. I did NOT like being told that I was going to burn eternally for being gay, that was horse shit to me, so I peace’d out. I starting praying the rosary at that time, and found so much comfort and solace in it. I decided to go to a Catholic church. While I loved the structure and the beauty of the rituals. I went there for quite a while, a few months at least. But it didn’t fill the void in my soul for something more.
That is when I found The Archangel Power Tarot. I had been getting angel numbers quite a bit, like multiple times a day all day long, and when I researched it, of course Doreen Virtue’s name came up.
So I bought the deck, because I wanted a ‘good’ tarot deck. And then it snowballed to where I am now!
But Christianity is a very difficult thing to get rid of, kind of like an STD or Glitter. Once you have it, you are either constantly reminded about it, see it everywhere you go, or you still suffer the side effects from it. The doctrine taught there is, for the most part, incredibly harmful and still effects me to this day, causing me to doubt my life purpose and I keep wondering if what I am doing is wrong, when it isn’t at all.
So I was having one of these moments, and Spirit gave me what I said above. I was kind of confused at first, but then it all made sense. Spirit weaves it’s way through all of our lives in one way or another. All religions are the same, because Spirit never changes. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Pagan, Wiccan, Buddhist, Taoist, whatever, it is all the same.
Whatever is relevant to Christian to help them live a better life and love and help others, that is what Spirit will give them. When I was in the church, I believe I had the Spiritual Gift of Knowledge (basically intuition) and I was able to tell things about people and gain insights into them fairly easily. I used this to help people who needed to talk about their issues and problems, but also in my daily devotions and walk with God. I would get messages that just made my heart SING and messages that made me rethink a lot of things and become a better Christian. I was so involved in the church and was wondering if that was all false. But then Spirit simply told me it was relevant to my experience at the time to become a better human and to learn. It wasn't that that was right and my life now is wrong, or vice versa, it is just a different avenue. When you go down two different streets, they each offer different sights and experiences, neither are wrong or right, they are just different.
Spirit weaves an intricate web between all things, inanimate and animate, that connects us all to each other.
The Pastor in the pulpit on Sunday morning preaching about loving your neighbor is inspired by the same Spirit that Hindus invoke during prayer and ritual.
The key to knowing who is inspired by the spirit is one simple thing: LOVE.
If the message is about love, or causes and chain reaction of love, it is from Spirit, no matter what form it takes.
Now, the opposite is also true. There are people claiming to be ‘led by the spirit’ and are filled with hate, resentment, and bitterness. That is NOT of Spirit. At all. So those people can basically, suck it.
This realization was wonderful to me because I harbored such animosity towards Christians and the whole religion honestly, for how I was treated and the entire ‘hell’ concept. But now, I have seen things in a different light and I am working on keeping things in that light.
Spirit is wonderful, no matter what form it takes for you or I.
Just make sure you are centered in love, because that is all that matters.
sorry for any typos
Angel Blessings,

Worry? Or Rise?
Worry. Worry. Worry. Fear. Doubt. Worry. Worry. Worry.
What does any of the above words solve? Nothing.
What do they help with? Nothing.
Do they heal or hurt? Hurt.
The card that is closely associated to, if not the epitome of, the words above is the ‘Nine of Swords’. That is the card that I drew tonight to write about.
A few things are associated with this card:
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Worry
- Fear
- Doubt
If you find yourself in this space, it is so very crucial to remember to simply breathe. Don’t freak out when things seem like they are out of your control. They are out of your control for a reason. That reason is this: YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL!
No matter how much you think you are, you are not. At all.
Now don’t freak out on me here but think about it, we plan our lives before we come to earth. We plan every major event that we face. Now, along the way we have choices about the minor things in life, sometimes even things that are major to us. But these ‘Majors’, are simply non negotiable. They happen. We are not in control of those things. So when they do happen, we have a choice: Embrace it or Run from it.
If you embrace it, you will see a side of life you never knew was possible. You will finally ‘see’ that wonderful, brilliant light that is you. If you run from it, you will continue to feel hopeless, lost, and anxious for A LOT longer but you will get to that same point of enlightenment. You will just be even more battered and bruised when you do.
So, it is your choice..
Are you going to worry?
Or are you going to RISE?
Angel Blessings,
Andrew
Spiritual Gifts Spread!!
This spread is one that I made while in the Tarot Foundations 2 course at Biddy Tarot. I love this Spread so much! It was so insightful for me, and I know it will be for you as well. I posted this on my Page, but I wanted to put it in a Blog so you guys will be able to find it easier, and I am going to explain a bit more about it as well.
So this Spread is set up with 2 columns of 4 Cards, read from left to right, as you can see by the Numbers on each card.
This can be used with Tarot or Oracle cards (even BOTH!)
Lets say you have 2 not-so-happy cards across from each other. What would that mean here?
Let’s say it’s the 9 of swords and and the 3 of Swords in the position of Clairvoyance.
This could mean a couple things but most likely suggests that there may be a degree of fear or worry regarding what you will see and that that fear is crippling you from achieving the purpose that you desire.
So, don’t fret when you see the challenging cards! They are there to help you! :)
Tag this spread on Instagram with #tarotangelgiftspread and show me what you came up with!
Angel Blessings,
Andrew
The Devil!
The Devil.
-I apologize for some of the language in advance-
This is not going to be a post full of flowery goodness, heads up! haha
Throughout time, The Devil has invoked fear, anger and been the blame behind pretty much every wrongdoing ever.
A little bit about ‘The Devil’:
Christians believe that the Devil was once an Angel, an Archangel actually, named Lucifer. He rebelled against God and now is wandering the early looking for people to deceive and take to Hell on Judgement day.
I most definitely, with respect however, call ‘bullshit’ on that whooolllle idea. All of it. Every last bit of it. I don’t believe that The Devil really even exists. Humans are capable of enough evil without some mythical guy running around causing panic and chaos. I have no tolerance or patience for it.
Let me assure you: There is no Devil. Everything is fine. Go about your business.
Alright, enough of that. The reason I talked about that is because The Devil Card in Tarot gets such a bad wrap. People get scared of it. They don’t know how to accurately tune into the power and wisdom that this card has to offer.
The Devil in Tarot could mean many things. It could mean that you are too bound to the material aspects of life, a slave to trends and fashions. It could indicate addiction as well, overindulgence in pleasures to the point of ruin such as sex, alcohol, fame, money, and drugs. Geez, that sounds horrible doesn’t it? Enough to almost make you want to stop reading this right now and throw away The Devil card from every deck you own! However, before we go off the deep end, let’s continue talking about this card.
You may saying “Andrew, why would this card be one of your favorites when it has such negative meanings?” Here is my answer: The Devil talks about human nature. It talks about the Ego, and being a slave to thoughts that hold us back and keep us from our true potential! Going back to Human Nature, we are all pure creations made of light, in the image of God (or whoever you like to worship or pray to)! This card is a call to RISE UP and not be afraid of who we truly are!
Our Ego has one job, to keep us from reaching our true potential by employing tactics or fear, worry, stress, negativity, addiction, greed, anger, bitterness, and resentment to keep us trapped in a low vibration so that we won’t receive that guidance we need from heaven!
The Devil isn’t bad, nor is it negative. It simply a kick in the ass for you and I when we need it, when we are stifled by the cares and concerns of the physical world when it drags us down.
So, what is hold you back? What is The Devil wanting to show you? Are you feeling trapped? Are you self sabotaging? Are you speaking, thinking, and feeling from a negative space, causing self fulfilling prophecies? Are you repeating lies to yourself that are keeping you from your true power and potential?
If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these, here is some tough love: Cut that shit out. You are ONLY hurting yourself. No matter how hard to cling to bitterness and anger and negativity, it will NOT get you where you want to be. So stop it.
Ask Archangel Michael and Archangel Jeremiel to shield you from negativity and show you areas that need changing in your life, body, mind, and spirit. After this, how you proceed is your choice and yours alone.
Angel Blessings!

Patience is a Virtue...but still sucks
Patience is a Virtue…
But let’s get real. Waiting sucks. Waiting for what you really desire is really hard. It is a cruel trick from the universe that we can’t have what we want, when we want it. But you have to think about it like this: What would you do if you never had to wait for anything? You and I would probably become a bit of an ass….just being real.
The inspiration behind this post is the ‘7 of Pentacles’. I have grown pretty attached to this card, and I still have to say that I still suck at waiting and being patient. It’s a human thing, and I am working on it….stop judging me haha.
For real though, this card is not just about patience and planting the seeds that will grow, this is about having the right type of attitude while you wait.
I heard a preacher I used to L-O-V-E say this, and I still wholeheartedly agree: “Patience isn’t waiting, it’s how you act while you wait”.
So, what are you waiting on? A job? A relationship? Money? Remember that how you act while you wait for it determines how fast you will get it! Thoughts, words, actions, and feelings have tremendous power to deter our goals or speed them toward us.
We just passed the New Moon, so we are in a time of crazy manifestation! So you have to be sure that you are high vibe-ing, and getting your spiritual stuff together! Whatever you are putting your focus and attention on is what you are bringing to you, that is a cold, hard, fact.
How do you raise your vibration?
- Being Grateful
- Meditation
- Praying
- Laughing
- Listening to happy music
- Complimenting people
- Shielding yourself in the light of your favorite color to protect your energy
- Journaling
- Talking to your Angels
- Playing with your pets
- Spending time with friends
The list goes on and on….but basically says this : DO WHAT YOU LOVE!! That is the quickest way to a High Vibration!
If you are thinking about negative things, then your life is pretty much going to suck….just being honest…
However, if you are bring positive, then your life is going to reflect that positive and the Law of Attraction will bring what you are putting out into the Universe!
So, dear buddy, pal, and friend of mine,
Manifest that positivity into your life and don’t get impatient if you don’t see a change within 5 seconds! It’s coming!! I promise!!
Angel Blessings!
Andrew

Be The Empress of your life! You to fellas!
Hello All!
Blog post time, again!
I have two cards today, ‘The Empress’ and ‘Be You’.
Living authentically is something that has been coming up a lot for a lot of people. Authenticity is honoring all sides and aspects of yourself in a way that is freeing and liberating to you mentally, spiritually, and physically.
The Empress comes to us as a reminder to nurture ourselves and embrace that feminine energy of receptivity and love. We all want to manifest money, abundance, and prosperity in the physical world, but what about in our spirits? Everything that we see on the outside is a direct reflection of what is going on inside of us. There is a song by Alanis Morissette called “Underneath”, and it is literally my jam (find it linked below) because it talks about the direct correlation between our heart and the physical world.
The Empress is a gorgeous card, a woman who is in touch with her power and her creativity and her light. You can benefit from her wisdom even if you are a male, so get that notion out of your mind, right now (shakes finger). Be prepared for a lot of work ahead, you are getting tons of guidance right now that is unlocking the person that you want to be and person that Universe says you already are. This guidance is meant to be acted on, not sat around and played with.
‘Be You’ is telling us that it is indeed a challenge to live authentically, and that it is imperative we take every opportunity to be our true selves.
*Example* I recently got a new District Leader at work and she asked what brought me to DC. I had the option to either say“my roommate and I moved up her for ‘xyz’” or “my boyfriend and I moved up here for ‘xyz’”.
Being gay isn’t something that I advertise, not that I am ashamed in any way, shape, or form, because I honestly don’t give a shit haha, but I just don’t like to throw it in people’s face, it isn’t necessary to me. But I had the option to care, or not to care. And I decided not to care, and it felt really good!!! So that is my example**
These two lovely cards are telling you to use the power of The Empress to launch yourself into a brand new world of authenticity and badassery! haha
Much Love,
Andrew
Get Moving...
Hello Lovely people!
So I promised to blog more often, so here I am...again...haha. I try to write things with substance that don't waste your time, so I am going to actually talk about things now haha.
I was shuffling my Lumina Tarot deck, which I do whenever I am sitting at the table in my spare time, and I wanted to pull a card, and write about it. So I drew the 'Maiden of Cups'. This is traditionally the Page of Cups, for those not familiar with Tarot.
The message of this card is to pay attention to and, most importantly, TRUST the information that your Higher Self is giving you. This is a time of new beginnings, and your inner child is influencing you right now so you may be starting to see things and believe things that you once simply wrote off.
Whatever ideas you are getting, you are supported in bringing them to life! Just make sure that you are fully dedicated to idea or project before you share it with others. This prompts a question: What is this card telling you personally? What dreams, projects, or goals have seemed unreachable in the past? Journal this out if you need to.
Sometimes we lose sight of our dreams and ambitions because life just seems to toss us around like a rag doll, leaving us feeling beaten, bruised, and incapable of achieving greatness.
This is B.S.! You have got what it takes to do more than you have ever dreamed of, and don't let one person tell you anything else. You are an amazing, confident, all around badass!
GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT!!
Angel Blessings!
Andrew
Be True to You!
Hello Everyone!!
I am feeling very 'bloggy' today, and wanted to just share some guidance with you all, and myself! I drew two cards today, one from the Angel Reading Cards and one from the Lumina Tarot (because I am currently obsessed with it and do everything with it because we are bestest friends haha). Our cards are "Angel of Truth" and "Six of Wands". The Angel of Truth card is a great card to me because it speaks of everyones truth being different. My truth differs from yours, even if only slightly. And yours, from mine.
We can't ask others to shape themselves to fit our truth, and they can't ask us to do the same. Only when we live our truth out loud, can we experience that victorious mindset that the Six of Wands brings! We can't keep going on trying to fit societies definition of 'truth', that honestly does't even exist outside of our own mind. We make our own boxes that we try to cram ourselves into, making ourselves miserable as fuck in the process. And for what? So people that we don't even know that don't care about us at all can approve of us? What kind of life is that? I will answer that, it's a shitty one.
This may be a bit harsh, but we are all at that point where the energy is here to work with, we just need to rid ourselves of the B.S. to fully embrace it. I said this in my Newsletter, 2016 is a '9' year. This means that it is time to FLY! 2015 was practice, getting you ready for the 'big game'. You have to show up and show out this year, and you can do that by living in your truth, and ONLY your truth. That will bring you untold amounts of victory and happiness, and will even influence others to do the same thing!!!
So get out there you beautiful soul,
Show everyone what a bad-ass you are!
Blessings!
Andrew
Career Advice!!
Hello Again!!!
Jesus, it feels like forever since I wrote here, even though it was less than a week ago haha. I am writing this very cold, very very cold. It is definitely an adjustment from NC to DC, but I Will Survive! haha
Anyway, I am wanting to write to you guys to say hello and tell you about the card I drew for all of you :)
We have the "Career Angel" from the "Angel Reading Cards"! I don't know about you, but my Career is weighing heavy on my heart. I am currently in a job where I am trying to be passionate and happy, but my heart isn't in it. No matter how hard I try, I can't be enthusiastic about it. I know I have to have a job (my lights don't run off magic haha). But I want to be fulfilled. This card is saying that fulfillment is coming!! Positive Changes are occurring even if we can't see them. But we have to help them along!
I say this all the time: Change is neutral, but the way we react to change determines if it is positive or negative.
Translating this to your (our) career(s). We have to hold the highest, most positive, vision in our minds that we can! That is so tremendously helpful and is really the 'make or break' between staying where you are and going to where you want to be!
This Angel is currently working with you to heal any emotional issues that are affecting you. And don't be surprised if you meet people who are going to help you with networking or any other kind of searching. Don't despair. It's coming sooner than you think:
Affirmation: "I surrender any worries that I have about my career path to my Career Angel. I feel safe in the knowledge that he will guide me in the direction I am meant to follow to improve my Career"
