Today’s Message: Thank You Universe

1212: Today the Universe is asking us to stay present and pay attention to what’s going on around and within us. Clear vision and focus will play an important role as you handcraft better things for yourself and your loved ones. By working together with the Universe we can find the inner strength we need to keep reaching for the stars. If you find yourself a little short on clarity and focus just let allow your creative mind to take charge. Remember that creativity helps to open the avenues to divine communication. Today’s number also equals 6, and while it relates to earthly materials yet it contains this simple message as well. Take time today to thank the Universe and its helpers for being there for you and for the blessings that you have received.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

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 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. “

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Use Carnelian for motivation and increased creativity. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and helps us find creative solutions to current issues as it boosts self-esteem and invites us to embrace our personal power while promoting positive life choices which enhance our ability to draw new forms of prosperity and abundance.  

Larimar helps to remove self-imposed barriers that may be keeping us from accepting our personal power and stops self-sabotaging behavior by bringing out the best in us. It helps us to see the things that we have to be grateful for and the tiny miracles that we take for granted. This sky blue stone also helps to ease our obsession for material things and shows us how to put things into perspective so that you manifest what we really need. It shows us how to go with the flow.

Pietersite (Tempest stone) helps us to work through beliefs and conditioning imposed upon us by others. It opens our intuitive connection and creates a link to a loving level of guidance. It also helps us see the truth and strengthen our will while increasing our focus of where we really want life to take us. It helps us to rid ourselves of negative energy and replaces it with calm.

Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

December Quotes

On the first day of winter,
the earth awakens to the cold touch of itself.
Snow knows no other recourse except
this falling, this sudden letting go
over the small gnomed bushes, all the emptying trees.
Snow puts beauty back into the withered and malnourished,
into the death-wish of nature and the deliberate way
winter insists on nothing less than deference.
waiting all its life, snow says, “Let me cover you.”

Menkar in Cetus the Whale
Menkar (Alpha Ceti) is only the 2nd-brightest star in the constellation Cetus the Whale, after Diphda, or Deneb Kaitos, otherwise known as the Whale’s Tail. Why was Menkar designated as the Whale’s alpha star, when it’s not the constellation’s brightest? It might be because Menkar sits closer to the ecliptic, which marks the sun’s yearly circuit in front of the background stars.

Inner Journey:

DISTINGUISH PERSONALITY DESIRES FROM SOUL NEEDS

“Human history is the sad result of each one looking out for himself.”
— Julio Cortazar

We indulge ourselves when we seek to meet our longings through desires of the personality. We indulge ourselves when we buy more clothes to make us happy, when we eat another snack to ease the hunger, when we have an affair to feel powerful or loveable. Any pleasure we get, if we get any at all, is shallow and short-lived.
The only lasting satisfaction can come from meeting the deep spiritual needs of the soul. We discover what we are really after in life when we identify the spiritual qualities and needs that lie behind our desires for material pleasures.

“But life lived only for oneself does not truly satisfy men or women. There is a hunger in Americans today for larger purposes beyond the self.”
— Betty Friedan

A Note from the Universe

Met up with the dearest, little angel over the weekend but she was really sad.

She asked, in the sweetest of angel voices, how there can be so much love in the world, yet so few feel it. How there can be so much beauty, yet hardly anyone sees it. And how there can be so many miracles, yet most are ignored.

So, I reminded her of something far more important. I reminded her that whether or not one knows of the love, they are still bathed in it. Whether or not they see the beauty, they still add to it. And whether or not they recognize the miracles, they still perform them, every single day.

Then we both just beamed.

Tallyho,

The Universe

Memories
“It is memory that provides the heart with impetus, fuels the brain, and propels the corn plant from seed to fruit.”

-Joy Harjo, 1991


Memory is part of the karmic cycle. Memory creates a desire, which then causes us to take action. That action then creates another memory, and we go around again. In the movie “March of the Penguins” we could see how the penguins had some kind of genetic memory that took them on the same journey year after year. It’s memory that makes birds fly south for the winter. In this way our memory can help us learn and grow.

Today’s Message: Essential Pieces

1210: Today the Universe is asking us to pay attention and get ready to receive some needed divine inspiration and guidance. The key is to stay positive about the messages that you receive. Some will be useful now while others require us to be patient as they will be helpful in the near future. Doing your best to stay focused and centered will help keep the lines of communication open and flowing. Remember that these messages can take the form of thoughts, ideas, or even visual clues and that each tidbit of information is an essential piece of the puzzle from which we create our lives. So use this information wisely and weed out old habits and replace them with new ones. The time has come to ease out of your comfort zone and leave complacency behind. be bold and embrace the creator that you are meant to be.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Sandalphon hears all requests and makes sure that they get to the Angel or Ascended Master who is best able to handle them. Ask him to help you clearly understand the information that you receive (his favorite mode of communication is music!). Sandalphon also provides us with an emotional boost of courage. This is important as it helps us to make bold decisions that will help us on our path.

Ascended Master Melchizedek helps keep our energy balanced and flowing. This is essential for using our gifts and understanding the information we receive. He can also help to diffuse unpleasant situations that can arise as we go through change and transformation. Since he helps us heal through color, pay attention to the colors that draw us or feel relevant

The Greek goddess Persephone teaches us how to balance between light and dark and the importance of searching the shadows for what is lost or forgotten. Persephone tells us  “Don’t be afraid to unearth what lies beneath or has been hidden. By shedding light in dark or weedy places you often find treasures that you had forgotten or set aside. These treasures can form the foundations that you need to navigate your path in life.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Black Banded Agate helps us start new things, embrace new beginnings and projects. It promotes the creativity needed to make things happen. The patterns in this stone invite inspiration and creative flow!

Mookite, a form of Jasper that comes in many creamy color combinations, promotes decision-making and versatility. These things are important when we are faced with new experiences and find ourselves faced with the need to take action. It encourages us to be flexible during times of change and helps us to embrace new experiences with an open sense of adventure.

Tangerine Quartz helps to increase our receptivity to Divine inspiration while it stimulates the mind and enhances overall creativity. It fills us with hope and joy as it restores our feelings of self worth.

Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

Inner Journey:

TRANSFORMATION

“The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
— William Faulkner

Longing for a miracle that will transform your life? Miracles happen, and if we don’t want that magic to disappear on us, we need to learn from each epiphany — to integrate it, apply it, and build on it so we can permanently shift to a new level of being.

The real key to fulfillment lies in ONGOING transformation: building our awareness of daily opportunities to change our perceptions and raise our consciousness. Life is about dissolving the old and creating anew. The more we open to accepting and learning from every life experience, the more our lives transform.

“Enlightenment must come little by little — otherwise it would overwhelm.”
— Idries Shah

Memories
“How we remember, what we remember, and why we remember form the most personal map of our individuality.”

-Christina Baldwin, 1977


Memory is selective. Whether it’s conscious or unconscious, there are things that just stick in our minds and then they pop up at various times, called upon or not. We carry memories around with us all the time, they are a part of our history, a part of us.

December’s Theme: It’s time to replace the old and outdated and welcome in new opportunities and blessings. This is the season to receive the good things the Universe has in store!

Helping others is easy when your heart is guided. ~Cat

Today’s Message: Intuitive Service

 129:  Today’s message revolves around “service” to others. While some people do big things in a big way most of us do small things in small ways. No matter which category you fall into both will make a difference to the people around us. It’s really not how much you do but what you do that matters. Simply by helping just one person, you are making a difference and it creates a chain reaction as people pass it on. Ways of being of service vary just like our paths do so never let someone else tell you your way of doing it, or path for that matter is wrong. If you need Divine clarification or help ask for it and be open to receiving an answer. Use your intuition as a guide as it will always lead you in the right direction. You know what you need to do and when so if it feels right then go for it!

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

. Archangel Zadkiel teaches us that true compassion and healing lies in our ability to forgive ourselves and others. This is essential to the letting go and letting it be processes as it allows our hearts and minds to make room and teaches us to just breathe and embrace compassion which in turn makes room for new growth. This is one of the best self-healing practices and gifts that we can give ourselves.

The Ascended Master Mother Mary provides us with all forms of healing. She surrounds us with her gentle energy and helps to fill our hearts with love as she imparts feelings of peace and safety as she gently heals the dark, hidden places within while showing us the path that leads to compassion and forgiveness which are essential to healing ourselves and helping others. She helps to fill our hearts with peace and love and helps everyone regardless of path or religion.

The Egyptian Goddess Nuit (Nut) represents the sky and the cosmos. She is a mother goddess, a life-giver. She teaches us the importance of nurturing those in our care with patience and love. As a cosmic goddess she reminds us of our divine place in the Universe and while we may feel small and insignificant the truth is far different. She says” Rejoice in your own power. It is love and patience that allow you to shape the world and make you a creator in your own right. You do not need to have born a child to be a mother this essence lives within all. Embrace it and send it to those around you.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Angelite helps us to connect to the angelic realms by enhancing our lines of communication. It is also a good stone for healers as it strengthens attunement and perception.

Charoite is a stone of transformation. It helps to open our hearts to the concept of unconditional love and brings those energies forward. Charoite enhances our perception and helps to ground our spiritual nature into everyday reality and helps us to see ways we can be of service. This stone can be used to reduce stress and worry as it helps us to overcome fear. 

Fuchsite helps us to understand our personal interactions with others, particularly in the areas of basic life concerns. It teaches self-worth and how to do what is necessary to get others moving in the right direction without doing everything for them.

Reflect on your experience over the last 7 days. What was memorable about it? Write a short summary.

If you are not learning and moving forward, you are unconsciously entrenching older patterns more deeply. You are actually going backwards. So take a few minutes each week to reflect on what matters most in your life.

“Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and the council chamber of thought.”
— Basile

A Note from the Universe

Would a “forever being” ever worry about the future? Ever look back and wonder? Would a “forever being” ever have anything to fear?

When the hands of time are frozen and this world no longer exists, you’ll just be getting started. This is preschool. Pre-pre-preschool. Let down your guard, go out on a limb, and take some more chances. Experiment, play, and stretch yourself. Honor your preferences, respect your wishes, and follow your heart. Practice, try, and try again.

Forget perfection, think adventure, and do all these things knowing that nothing can ever be taken away from a “forever being.”

To the ball,

The Universe

“As the dew to the blossom, the bud to the bee,
As the scent to the rose, are those memories to me.”

-Amelia C. Welby


Granted, not all memories are pleasant. But those that are sweet, are cherished. We keep those memories close to us, and they bring us comfort and joy. I think about when my kids were little and I smile.

Daily Tarot: Death

Say goodbye to some old useless habit and welcome the chance to develop a new habit that will serve you better and take you further. The Death card is not so much the end of anything as it is the shutting off of some automatic pilot switch and getting you back out under your own power again. Be strong. You can more fully embrace this change in the near future.

Faith and Confidence: Cat’s Angel Message for December 8, 2021

December’s Theme: It’s time to replace the old and outdated and welcome in new opportunities and blessings. This is the season to receive the good things the Universe has in store!

____________________________

Be the Creator that you were meant to be. You have the power to make things happen! ~Cat

Today’s Message: Faith and Confidence

128: Good news! Yesterday’s manifestation window is still open to us. The Universe is reminding us that we are powerful creators with the ability to make a difference in our own lives. Making the most of this opportunity will help set the tone for the remainder of the month so staying focused is imperative. Your optimistic thinking directly reflects on your flow of abundance in all areas so stay open to receiving the blessings that will help you manifest what you need Faith and self-confidence are your best friends today so round them up and let them help you create the vision you have for your future.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Sandalphon hears all requests and makes sure that they get to the Angel or Ascended Master who is best able to handle them. Ask him to help you clearly understand the information that you receive (his favorite mode of communication is music!). Sandalphon also provides us with an emotional boost of courage. This is important as it helps us to make bold decisions that will help us on our path.

The Ascended Master Sanat Kumara teaches us that we have an unlimited supply of personal power and helps us find the energy we need to keep going and rise above negative experiences and thought patterns. This gives us the skills we need to strengthen our personal boundaries so that we can be and stay strong in situations where we need to be.  

 The Welsh Goddess Cordelia helps us to meet life’s changes with courage and excitement. She asks that we be proactive about looking for signs of our inner growth and gain a new perspective about what lies ahead. She says “Healing can be found in nature and by observing it. Allow the beauty that surrounds you to renew your spirit and fill your soul with pure joy as you nurture the new growth within“

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Moss Agate. This gentle stone promotes new beginnings and can help release the blocks that are keeping us from moving forward.  It attracts new forms of abundance and teaches us how to channel our energy in new, creative ways. Often referred to as the gardener’s stone Moss Agate helps us connect to nature, the earth, and our own inner garden as well. Carry it with you or wear it during times of new growth.

Orange Calcite helps us to embrace our own power and the abilities we possess while eliminating self-defeating thinking. It also helps to balance the emotions and calm our fears so that we can work through problems and temporary setbacks so we may reach our full potential. It helps to dissolve problems and insecurities that can arise when we are faced with new opportunities.

Sodalite is a stone for the mind, and it promotes clear and calm thinking. and activates intuition as it draws down information to the physical level. It dispels confusion and releases outdated thought patterns while creating space for new ideas. It also helps us to look for and find truth and makes it possible to stand up for our personal beliefs while remaining true to ourselves by boosting our confidence and self-esteem.

Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

Spirit Library: Purification
Kate Spreckley


With this past weekend’s Solar Eclipse, we have reached a critical time in our journey where another layer of the energies, structures and patterns of the past is being cleared. To say the energies are uncomfortable is an understatement as deeply buried emotions are surfacing to be purified and released. Eclipses always trigger a profound awakening which can be challenging as the unconscious becomes conscious.

“Fortunate are the people whose roots are deep.”

When trees have deep roots they don’t fall over as easily. It works the same with people. Our roots help to support us, and to keep us strong when the wind blows hard. Our roots can nourish us. It’s up to us to grow these roots for ourselves – with our friends, our family, our community and our memories.

SELF-DECEPTION

“The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one’s self.”
— Phillip James Bailey

Are you hiding in some way from your own inner light?

I wouldn’t dream of stealing things but I do steal from my own potential. I can be a master at rationalizing, at justifying why it’s not the right time to do something challenging. My arguments seem valid but deep down, I know they’re excuses.

“The longer the excuse, the less likely it’s the truth.”
— Robert Half

“When we know deep down that we’re acting with integrity despite impulses to do otherwise, we feel gates of higher energy and inspiration open inside of us.”
— Dan Millman

A Note from the Universe

To make hard tasks easy, mountains molehills, and challenges simple, you can opt for one of two paths. You can be still, wait for guidance, and expect spontaneous enlightenment.

Or you can just roll up your sleeves and get busy doing what you can, with what you’ve got, from where you are.

May I suggest the latter? It’s usually much faster. And it makes you a lightning rod for divine guidance and spontaneous enlightenment.

Hi-ho,

“The past with its pleasures, its rewards, its foolishness, its punishments, is there for each of us forever, and it should be.”

-Lillian Hellman


During the holiday season it’s easy to wax nostalgic. We tend to remember holidays because we take photos and keep them in albums. We get together with friends and family and create memories. We remember because during that time we are in the moment, and enjoying ourselves, so the feelings remain long after the time is past.
