Thought For The Day: Nov. 12, 2019 “Advice”

Posted on November 11, 2019 by Cat

Happy Tuesday,

Have you noticed that it’s often easier to give advice to someone else than it is to use that same advice for ourselves? My father used to say “Don’t tell someone how to do something or how to live their life if you aren’t doing the same.” It may not be easy but it’s worth it.

It All Fets Done: Cat’s Angel Message for November 11, 2019

November’s Theme: Positive opens and draws, Negative closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.

By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning. – Lao Tzu

1111: While our message today embodies this month’s theme it’s also our invitation to access the yearly 11.11 energy gateway. This is powerful stuff and your power of positive thinking will be essential today. This gateway will help us to manifest our goals at a quicker pace. Do not allow your focus to shift into the negative realm as it will effectively set up roadblocks and halt your forward momentum. The gateway can also help us with the following things:

*Activating a higher consciousness and chakra realignment.

*Start a new period of personal growth while promoting interconnectedness.

*Helps to take the steps to send our creative goals to the next level.

*Helps us to find that “New You” by letting go of the old things that are holding you back.

Your angels and guides are here to help you as you take the time to send your intentions into the gateway. Remember to keep your focus on what you want to create and where you want to go. Now…. get out there and allow yourself to create good things with confidence!

Archangel Chamuel helps us in regards to relationships. This includes the one we have with ourselves and our own spiritual nature. he helps us to build a strong foundation from which we can create our personal evolution. Archangel Chamuel also helps us to find what is lost. If you feel like you have wandered off your path and are having trouble finding your way back he can help you get your bearings.

The Ascended Master Jesus helps us with all areas of faith and teaches us that true miracles often come in small packages. He also provides a clear and direct line of communication to the Divine as well as teaching us how to open up to receive divine information.

The Chinese Goddess Kuan Yin, who embodies compassion and mercy says, “You are a beautiful soul and have so much to offer. I can guide you on the path of self love and help you to embrace the confidence you need to free your mind, heart, and spirit. Be gentle on yourself. Joy comes from embracing the simple things which will free the energy needed to assist our creation process.”

Our Sacred Stones for today include:

Apophyllite promotes a strong connection between the physical body and the information that is transmitted from the spiritual realms. It also helps to bring Universal love into the decision making process so that min and spirit are connected.

Hessonite Garnet encourages us to meet new challenges as it helps to promote the courage we need to move forward.

Kyanite is a spiritual stone that helps us to connect to our guides by opening the paths of communication. It also allows us to speak from the heart and to speak our truth as it cuts through the things that are keeping us from moving forward.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

November’s Full Beaver Moon 11-12-19

Posted on November 10, 2019 by Cat

Nov Moon
November’s Full Beaver Moon
November 12, 2019
5:34 am PST/ 6:34 am MST/ 8:34 am EDT

After Samhain, we enter the dark period where the seasons seem to slow down. It was during this time that the ancient people readied themselves for the coming winter. The last harvest was over and they prepared their final provisions and made their homes as winter-proof as possible.

Other names for this months moon are: Beaver Moon ( Colonial. Farmers Almanac says this was the last time to set beaver traps before the ponds froze over, however, the beavers themselves were making ready for the winter just as the people were!) White Moon (China), Trading Moon (Cherokee), Sassafras Moon (Choctaw), Moon When Horns Are Broken Off (Dakota), Dark Moon (Celtic), Snow Moon (Medieval English), Tree Moon (Neo-Pagan), Fog Moon, Frosty Moon, Full Frost Moon, Hunter’s Moon.

November’s moon also honors dark goddesses like Kali, Hecate, and Bast. Use purple candles for your Full Moon observance and burn Full Moon Incense of anise, lavender, and rosemary or single blends of patchouli or mugwort. This is also a good time to cleanse and charge your moonstones, just place them on a windowsill during the night of the full moon.

It is a time of mourning as we join the Goddess in remembering her love who has gone on to the Otherworld. But it is also a time when we must also remember that all periods of mourning DO come to an end. The Crone is now the womb and will become the Mother in about six weeks’ time. While the “outer growth” is slowing down, we find it a good time to work on inner growth. While the Earth Mother rests it is a good time for tying up the loose ends in our lives. Let go of what no longer serves us and say farewell to bad relationships and habits. It is also a time of contemplation when we can strengthen our personal connection to the Divine Source.

To celebrate this full moon try wearing colors in grays or blues and adorn yourself with Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise, Moonstone or Topaz.

November

YET one smile more, departing, distant sun!

One mellow smile through the soft vapoury air,

Ere, o’er the frozen earth, the loud winds ran,

Or snows are sifted o’er the meadows bare.

One smile on the brown hills and naked trees,

And the dark rocks whose summer wreaths are cast,

And the blue Gentian flower, that, in the breeze,

Nods lonely, of her beauteous race the last.

Yet a few sunny days, in which the bee

Shall murmur by the hedge that skim the way,

The cricket chirp upon the russet lea,

And man delight to linger in thy ray.

Yet one rich smile, and we will try to bear

The piercing winter frost, and winds, and darkened air.

William Cullen Bryant 1794-1878

Full Moon Blessings! Cat

Guidance and Wisdom: Cat’s Angel Message for November 10, 2019

Guidance and Wisdom: Cat’s Angel Message for November 10, 2019

November’s Theme: Positive opens and draws, Negative closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue. – The Buddha

1110: Today the Universe is asking us to use our intuition to receive a little divine guidance. This will provide some much needed direction so remember to keep all receptors open. Messages can come from anywhere and at any time, such as thoughts or ideas, visual clues or even physical objects. If the message you receive doesn’t seem to make sense to you right now, file it away for future reference as you will need it at a later time. However, if you are strongly guided to take action, do so. Keep in mind that while opportunities may come back around it best to grab them when they first show up or you could miss out on something that you need right now. It’s important to note that we should never try and force divine guidance to happen. Just relax and let things flow. Information comes more easily when the mind is calm.

Archangel Michael helps to calm our fears as he guides us through issues of self doubt by clearing our energy field and quieting the internal chatter so that we can access the guidance being sent to us. He helps us to find our courage and our direction while giving us the strength that we need to choose wisely and make decisions on our own. Michael’s energy is easily felt particularly during times of stress and confusion and helps us when we feel lost or overwhelmed. He sets us on the path of commitment to our purpose by showing us how to work through obstacles that pop up as he teaches us that we have what it takes to create new things for ourselves as he helps us reach new levels of self confidence.

The Ascended Master El Morya can help if you have trouble staying present and focused in the now. He teaches us the importance of putting aside what we cannot control so that we are free to think about other things. He reminds us that it is our faith that keeps us grounded so that we can embrace both the patience and the clear decision making needed to make things happen.

The Hindu Goddess Devi helps us to find meaning in our lives and gently guides us in learning to follow our own inner wisdom. She says “Take my hand and let me guide you on your journey of self discovery. You need only look within to find your true meaning. Release your cares to me and I will purify your heart and spirit so that new information can be sent to you. “

Our Sacred Stones for today include:

Sugilite is sometimes called Archangel Michael’s stone. This is a stone of spiritual love and awareness and promotes Divine interaction and communication. Sugilite also encourages positive thinking and teaches us to live our truth and to trust our intuition.

Agate. This humble stone is the perfect one for grounding and balancing our energies. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to make the most of our life experiences.

Bloodstone gives us the ability to adapt to the changes that are taking place more easily. It strengthens our intuition and promotes good decision making.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Walking Away: Cat’s Angel Message for November 9, 2019

Walking Away: Cat’s Angel Message for November 9, 2019

November’s Theme: Positive opens and draws, Negative closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.

No problem is so formidable that you can’t walk away from it. – Charles M. Schulz’ cartoon Peanuts

119: Our power of positive thought may be tested today. The key lies in our ability to set negativity in its place and move forward. So do your best to keep it at a distance and walk away from negative situations and people. This goes hand in hand with the changes we’ve been working on recently. During times of change, it seems that we are more susceptible to getting caught in negative webs, so take the necessary precautions to avoid these traps. We are also reminded to look for success in everything that you do and look for at least one positive thing in every situation. There is always something that you can use to continue building the life you want. If you feel the need to move in a certain direction or take specific action grab your confidence by the hand and move forward!

Archangel Jeremiel is in charge of life reviews and changes. He can help you see everything that you have accomplished recently as well as the areas that need attention and helps us to let go of what we no longer need. He teaches us that by taking inventory of our lives we gain a clear perspective of where we are on our path, which in turn helps us to make positive life changes. He removes our fear of change and what the future holds and replaces them with a sense of expectant excitement.

The Ascended Master Serapis Bey brings us the necessary spiritual insight we need when dealing with negative people, feelings or situations. By surrounding yourself with loving energy you can find the peace you need to deal with off color moments. He teaches us that loving self care allows us the choice of removing ourselves from negative people and situations.

The Hindu Mother Goddess Durga teaches us how to create boundaries and maintain them as well as protecting yourself from the negative energy of others. She says: “Creating and holding personal boundaries are important to your well being. It is sometimes best to walk away. I can help you to step back and give you the self assurance to do what is in your best interest.”

Our Sacred Stones for today include:

While Garnet is best known as a stone of protection it can benefit the use of our natural talents as well. It helps us to overcome any resistance we may have in using our gifts and promotes self-confidence. Garnet removes what no longer serves and mental self-sabotage. It promotes balance and clears and re-energizes the chakras.

Black Tourmaline helps to remove all forms of negative energy while stimulating our sense of practical creativity which helps us meet our personal goals

Amber which bestows a positive mental state and helps us find balance, patience, and aids in decision making. Use Amber to enhance your earth connection and to promote grounding. It is also a great healing stone (it’s actually tree resin) that helps to remove energetic impurities from the body.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!
