Today’s Message:Simple Kindness
94: We are all extraordinary beings of light and we are as unique and individual as the stars. Each person has different gifts that are theirs to share with others and today the angels are asking us to do just that. This can be done with a smile, a token gift, a word of encouragement, a healing touch or even as simple as giving someone a hug. What matters most is allowing yourself to shine and be a light for another. We never know what others are going through and sometimes all they need is a little loving light to bring peace and comfort. Let yourself shine for someone today!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Zadkiel teaches us that true compassion and healing lie in our ability to forgive ourselves and others. This is especially helpful when we endeavor to lead by example. It is through forgiveness that we gain insight into what assistance will be beneficial to self and others.
The AscendedMaster Yogananda teaches us how to open the channels of divine communication and promotes feelings of divine love and teaches us about peace and how to share it. He can offer assistance in all things including your spiritual path.
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 frees the energy needed to assist the creation process and help others along the way.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Inspirational Apatite helps us to be of service by encouraging us to be more open and at ease in social situations as it promotes a humanitarian attitude.
Chalcedony that brings mind, body, spirit, and emotions into harmony by calming fear, anger or self doubt. It also promotes good feelings towards self and others.
Rose Quartz brings us inner peace and harmony which is essential to increasing our faith and promoting self-love which is key to positive self-expression and empowerment. It helps to promote the softer, more loving view that we need to embrace gratitude. This soft pink crystal is the ultimate nurturer of compassion and loving energy. It soothes the heart, mind, and spirit. It helps us to bring out the best part of ourselves so that we can help and heal not only ourselves but others as well

A Note from the Universe
Please notice those who already possess as you wish to possess or who have already achieved as you wish to achieve and ask yourself whether or not they have some special gift that you don’t have?
Do they have more angels than you? Are they any more loved than you? Have they suffered more, worked harder, or waited longer than you? Would I permit them to be “luckier” or have it easier than you?
You will see, after careful consideration, that their manifestations depended upon none of these things. They arrived simply because they expected them to arrive, and they lived their lives accordingly.
Magickal Intentions: Love, Romance, Marriage, Sexual Matters, Physical Beauty, Friendship and Partnerships, Strangers and Matters of the Heart
Element: Earth
Incense: Strawberry, Sandalwood, Rose, Saffron and Vanilla Planet: Venus Star Signs: Libra and Taurus Angel: Ariel Power Colors: Green, Pink, Aqua Herbs & Plants: Pink Rose, Ivy, Birch, Heather, Clematis, Sage, Violet and Water Lilly
Sacred Stones: Rose Quartz, Moonstone, Pink Tourmaline, Peridot, Emerald and Jade Oil: (Venus) Cardamom, Palmarosa, Rose, Yarrow

Friday is ruled by Venus. It’s energies are warm, sensuous, and fulfilling. Efforts that involve any type of pleasure, comfort, and luxury, as well as the arts, music, or aroma (incense and perfume) can be done on this day. As Venus lends its sensuous influences to the energies of this day, use it for any magical work that deals with matters of the heart.

Communication “Violence of the tongue is very real – sharper than any knife.”
-Mother Teresa
There’s a child’s song that says “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Since most of us have been hurt by words, we know the truth is that words can be sharp, and our emotions can be fragile. The good news is that words can also be very healing, and loving. Our thoughtful communication can help a person to feel really good.

Our Personal Journey : Cat’s Angel Message for September 3, 2021

Today’s Message:Our Personal Journey
93: The Universe is encouraging us to open doors by trying something new today. Maybe a new project, or trying something you’ve never done before. Trying new things will draw new blessings (abundance, relationships, opportunities) into our lives and can even help us in our quests for personal evolution and self exploration. Remember to continue making room for new things by throwing out outdated thoughts, feelings, habits or things that no longer bring you joy ( remember that holding on to things out of habit holds us back). This makes some much needed room for the new blessings headed our way and gives them the room to grow and flourish. These things will help us in our quest to see the big picture and help us to embrace our personal and spiritual journey!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Raziel can assist us in both embracing our unique divine magic and in the overall manifestation process. He tells us that growth and freedom can be found when we let go of what we have outgrown as well as our limiting self beliefs and fears all of which hold us back from achieving and creating the life we want.
The Himalayan Ascended Master Babaji helps us to achieve the personal and spiritual growth necessary for the letting go process. He assists us in detaching ourselves from both material things and things that no longer serve us. He teaches us that letting go is a form of simplifying your life. It frees your energy so that you can work on what’s important so that new blessings can be received.
Epona is the Celtic goddess of horses, fertility (cornucopia) and dreams(keys). She has ridden into our message today to remind us of the importance of sowing fertile ground to nurture our body, mind and spirit. The keys to this can often be found in our dreams. She says ” As you ride into your evolution remember that you are the key to unlocking the doors that will lead you on your journey. Clues can be found in your dreams and daydreams so don’t gallop past the way markers.”
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.
**Copper is a conductor that moves energy and helps us communicate with the higher realms. It can also increase self esteem and self awareness which are essential to embracing our divine spark and our powers of manifestation.
Sodalite is a stone for the mind, 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 the truth and makes it possible to stand up for our personal beliefs while remaining true to yourself by boosting our confidence and self esteem.
Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

Communication “The strokes of the pen need deliberation as much as the sword needs swiftness.”
-Julia Ward Howe
Communication is the written word as much as it is the spoken word. Just as we must think before we speak, it is important for us to put thought into any correspondence that we send out. We have so many choices with which words we use, and each word carries its own nuances. We need to think about our intent, and carry it through with our overall tone

Today’s Message:The Answers Lie Within
92: This month we will be working to discover who we are and what we want. As we grow mentally and emotionally our wants and needs change. The key lies in our ability to acknowledge and adapt to the changes and new growth that are taking place. It’s like a new project and like all new things requires faith in yourself and in the universe to make things happen. Even if you aren’t exactly sure what your direction is (not knowing is OK), be assured that if something compels you to take action and feels right that you are on the right path. Ask yourself ” Am I where I need/want to be right now?” Be open to what your inner guidance tells you and you will always be headed in the right direction, and don’t forget to look for signs along the way.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Gabriel helps us to access our inner wisdom and shows us how it can guide and inspire us. Gabriel also teaches us the importance of communication on all levels. This helps us to overcome our fears so that we can complete the things we start and achieve positive results during times of transformation and change.
The Ascended Master El Morya supports all who give of themselves in service of others and he shows us how to stay committed to our own growth so that we can heal and teach those in need. 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 Egyptian goddess Hathor helps us to find the answer to the question “How shall I live my life?” She tells us that every moment gives us opportunities for growth. ” When you are filled with indecision you move away from yourself and your power as a creator. Indecision silences you ability to hear your own inner wisdom. Remember that each moment gives you the opportunity to learn and grow. It is what you were made for!””
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
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.
Azurite increases our ability to receive spiritual guidance and helps us to see through illusions and clears the mind so that we can see our path clearly. It helps to develop our intuitive skills as it expands the mind to promote clear thinking, understanding and new perspectives.
Pink Kunzite is a feel good stone that helps us to go with the flow. It brings feelings of peace as it connects us to universal love as it removes obstacles from our path and promotes communication on all levels.

September Birthstone : Blue Sapphire Birthstone Color: Deep Blue
The striking deep blue of a quality sapphire is reminiscent of a cloudless night sky. Ancient civilizations believed that the world was set upon an enormous sapphire, which painted the sky blue with its reflection. This legend, as well as the belief that the ten commandments were inscribed upon tablets made of sapphire, gives September’s birthstone a royal place among gemstones.
Aster Flower Aster flowers one of the September birth flowers are symbols of Love, Afterthought, Faith, Wisdom, Valor, and Light.
The genus Aster includes some 600 species of widely distributed flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Aster comes from Greek word for “star”, and refers to the shape of the flower head. Many of the species are popular garden plants because of their showy flower heads.
Believed in ancient times that burning the leaves of the aster flower drove away serpents. Also to symbolize afterthought, aster’s were laid on the graves of soldiers.
Morning Glory Morning glory flowers another September birth flower bring vibrance and awareness in thought for September births.
As its name implies, morning glory flowers, which are saucer-shaped, open at morning time, allowing them to be pollinated by hummingbirds, butterfly’s, bees and other daytime insects and birds. The flower lasts for a single morning and dies in the afternoon. New flowers bloom each day. The flower color usually starts to fade a couple of hours before the petals start showing visible curling. They are partial to full sun throughout the day.

The color ORANGE is used for Creativity, Fast Action, Attraction, Legal Matters, Success, Intelligence and Mental Clarity and it has a warm and energizing signature.

GROWING OURSELVES
“The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes
We are all on a life-long journey. It is a search for who we are and why we are here. It is a journey that expands our consciousness.
There is an urge within each of us to move forward in life. It is an urge to become more whole, to find more meaning, and eventually to help others. It is human nature to strive for a sense of well-being.
We all go through the same growth cycles, though our experiences may appear entirely different. By understanding the process of personal and spiritual growth, we can work more effectively with the process, instead of fighting and resisting it.
“We can learn to be the catalysts for our own change.” — Sarah Ban Breathnach

Communication “Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.”
-Hannah Moore
There are times when we feel those “awkward pauses,” when we want to fill up the empty space with words. But then there are those beautiful times when we are comfortable just sitting and being with another person, when silence adds to our experience. In Japanese watercolors, it is said that the strokes that are painted are just as important as the spaces that are left blank. The overall work is simple, elegant, and meaningful.

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 live within all. Embrace it and send it to those around you.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Amazonite. This stone is sometimes called the stone of hope. It helps us to speak our truth with confidence and instills us with hope itself. It calms and soothes frayed nerves during times of stress and helps us to feel and embrace universal love. It works with both heart and throat chakras.
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
Tangerine Quartz which 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

VINE LORE
The Celtic Tree Month of Vine or Muin runs from September 2nd to September 29th.
The month of Vine is the bridge between the Autumn Equinox and the dark time of the year that begins at Samhain. Muin is an Ogham word that means highest of beauty and strongest of effort and the Irish word Muine means thicket.
Vine symbolizes emotion and sensuality and represents the clinging aspirations of artists and of poets. Vine refers to specifically to the Grape Vines. In mythology, the grape vine is personified in the God Dionysus or Bacchus, who brought the art of wine making to mankind. Carvings of this god show him with an ivy wreath upon his head and his body covered with grapes and leaves. As such he resembles the Greenman of the celtic traditions. In Pagan/Wiccan traditions the five pointed leaves are sacred to the Goddess as is the spiral growing pattern of the vines themselves.

PLANT INFORMATION
This is not a tree but more like a shrub and is probably the oldest cultivated plant in the world. It is a long lived plant and scientists have found fossilized grape leaves that date back 40 million years! These vines have large lobed leaves and produce small whitish flowers, that in turn produce grapes. Vine can grow up to 115 feet in length and live to a recorded life span of 600 years. The stem of very old grape vines have been know to produce “planks” 15 inches wide when cut. This vine has no uses other than wine making.
In healing, vine is known for it’s restorative and regenerative powers. It can help with fever, the leaves and seeds were used to stop hemmoraging, bleeding and inflamation. Grapes are rich in iron, and vitamins and provide an excellent source of instant energy. They are also a laxative and a diuretic. Blackberries were used by the ancient Greeks to treat gout. In England the leaves were used to treat burns while berries were used to treat bug bites, loose teeth and sore throats. The bark and roots are known for their astringent properties and are still used today.

VINE IN MAGICK
Vine is female and is ruled by the moon. It can be used to promote prosperity, fertility, mental powers and can be used in garden magick. Ritual uses include celebrations, grounding and faery magick. Use the leaves of this plant to enhance your own goals and ambitions. Vine is also one of the nine sacred woods burned at Beltane as a symbol of joy.
Vines properties are as follows:
Thistle: Protection, strength, exorcism, hex breaking Blueberry: Spirituality, protection and dream magick Grape: Garden magick fertility, prosperity/money and binding Blackberry: Protection, healing and properity
To dream of grapes/blackberries is a sign of abundance, if the leaves are green then success is coming your way and if you are harvesting the berries your income will be a good one. To dream of walking through a vinyard fortells of prosperity.

VINE PEOPLE
Vine people have high personal standards and tend to be natural socializers and well organized. They also have well developed insticts and an eye for detail however this can become an issue as they can be highly self critical. They are also secretly romantic and sensitive. Vine people have a dual personality and can be happy one minute and down the next. It is important for Vine people to learn the importance of balance between giving and receiving.
To choose Vine as a magickal name can indicate that you are a climber and have great potential. You are willing to work hard to achieve what you want.

Spirit Library: Understanding, Stability & Balance (a message from Kate Spreckley)
We are seeing the fall of an old way of living and being. The fall of a world that is no longer relevant. We must allow it to fall and step back from the drama and chaos and into the center of ourselves where our knowing and our faith lies. This is a time where we must connect deeply with ourselves and become very conscious of our thoughts, emotions, and feelings. This awareness will help us to navigate through our challenges knowing that there is purpose in all that we are experiencing

EarthSky News: Winter Circle Before Dawn In Late Summer
Summer is drawing to a close for us in the Northern Hemisphere. Although it’s still hot outside across much of northern Earth, our days are rapidly shortening now, and our nights getting longer. Meanwhile, a major sign of winter looms large now in the predawn sky, as it does every year at this time. The waning crescent moon can guide your eye to this large lasso of stars – the Winter Circle – on mornings in in late August and early September 2021.
“We can’t fear the past. Fear is a future thing. And since the future’s all in our heads, fear must be a head thing.” — Tom Payne
It helps to understand that fear is usually a projection into the future. We typically fear what MIGHT happen rather than what is happening now.
Susan Jeffers notes that 90% of what we fear usually does not materialize. So replace your images of disaster on the TV screen in your mind with awareness of what is really happening. And don’t allow your thinking to change channels.
“I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me.” — Erica Jong

A Note from the Universe
A question to ask yourself each morning that really lights fires, gongs bells, and summons resources is “What little, mortal, baby steps can I take today that will demonstrate expectancy, prepare for my dream’s manifestation, and above all, place me within reach of life’s magic?”
Please, ask this question and then take those steps, and I promise you’ll go down in history as a giant among your kind.

Communication “Listening is not merely not talking, though even that is beyond most of our powers; it means taking a vigorous, human interest in what is being told us.”
-Alice Deur Miller
Communication works both ways. In order for one party to feel that they are being heard, and understood, the other party must actively listen. It’s important that we give our full attention to the person speaking so that we can fully understand and appreciate what is being said. We just might learn something!
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Tower
Your emotions and instincts are working overtime today and this can distract you from doing the simplest of things. Whatever difficulties you encounter today – and they should be small ones – you will create more problems for yourself by being too psychically overactive. If someone is preoccupied with you and wishing you to have a rough day, you’ll know it but maybe not know who it is.
