Today’s Message:What’s Important To You?
821: What do you want from your life? That is the question that the Universe is asking us today. The truth is that we are the Captain of our own ship and the Universe and our helpers are there to help us navigate and to assist in the journey. Remember that you are a powerful creator and it’s within your power to create the life you want. Focus on the things that are important and truly matter. It’s ok to let something go or just let it be. If you look at your life and your path and feel like you are missing something take a step back. Maybe it’s time to sail out of your comfort zone and take action. Surround yourself with good vibes and invite new people and opportunities. ” Expect success and focus on what truly matters to you.
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 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 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. If you need my help just ask and I will shower you with energy that will tip the scales in the direction of what you desire.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Ametrine. This stone, a combination of amethyst and citrine, helps to release blocks like negative emotional programming. It also encourages growth while helping us to explore all possibilities and find the creative solutions that are needed to make the most of the information we are given.
Iron Pyrite has a warm, positive energy. It teaches us to have confidence in our skills and abilities so that we are able to realize our true potential by stimulating new ideas and knowledge of our own self worth. Pyrite also helps to balance instinct with innate intuition and overall creativity.
Kunzite (Pink) 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.

The Desired Outcome: Cat’s AngelMessage for Aug 20. 2023

Today’s Message:The Desired Outcome
820: Today the angels are delivering this message. . “The Universe holds a bountiful supply for everyone and all you need is within your grasp. Have faith in yourself and in me. My angels are here to help you, so do not be afraid to make requests of them.” Remember that “divine right timing” also comes into play here. When we make a request things are set into motion and sometimes we see quick results and sometimes we must wait. When our requests seem to be on hold it is because we are not quite ready for this specific request to be fulfilled. The Universe waits until all the pieces are in place before sending things our way. Behind the scenes, things are happening and the wheels are turning bringing you closer to your desired outcome.
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 and he is associated with the color turquoise!). 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 Kuthumi helps us to navigate the distractions of everyday life. He encourages us to focus on what’s important right now and to stop fighting the things that we have no control over, which blocks our problem solving and creative flow. Things flow easier when we are not struggling against the “what if’s and maybes
The Egyptian goddess Bastet (Bast) is not only associated with cats both large and small she is also a goddess of protection and of things that bring pleasure to the senses. In her role as protector she tells us “Never be afraid to stand up for yourself or move in the direction you know is right. Remember the importance of setting boundaries. This helps you to take control of your life”
Today’s Sacred Stones 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 mind and spirit are connected
Cavansite. This stone helps to guide us through major life changes as well as helping us learn from past experiences so that we don’t make the same mistakes/choices again. It also helps us to retain information that applies to spiritual growth. Cavansite helps to promote new ideas and can be used in conjuntion with the Third Eye or brow chakra.
Turquoise helps us with creative problem solving and promotes both balance and intuition. It is aligned with the Throat Chakra and teaches us to speak up for ourselves and to speak our truth, which can be a valuable asset when working with gratitude and our ability to create. Turquoise helps to purify our energy and clears away negative energy. it aids our problem solving skills and protects us against self sabotaging thoughts and actions

WHAT ARE YOU LACKING?
“Money cannot fill an empty soul.” — Julia Cameron & Mark Bryan
Where in your life are you experiencing lack?
Are you experiencing a lack of self esteem? Of humour? Of energy? Of love? Of money and abundance? Whatever you believe you are missing, it is there to be claimed.
The first step starts with shifting your perspective. See the glass as half full rather than half empty. Focus on accepting and appreciating what you DO have, and more will be attracted to you.
“Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend… when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present — love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure — the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.” — Sarah Ban Breathnach

Although it may be a peaceful day, that calm may all be on the surface. If dissatisfaction or anger is brewing at depth, there could be thoughts or fantasies of revenge or anger to fuel the bad feelings. Face everyone and everything with great care and respect. You have more than enough strength to deal with whatever comes up. Obviously, don’t bait or antagonize anyone. Kindness wins out.

Today’s Message:Open and Welcome
816: Our thoughts play an important role in our ability to manifest the things we need, both within ourselves and in our lives. By embracing an optimistic and hopeful attitude we are effectively setting out the “Welcome” mat to help draw all the things that will enrich our well being. But first, we have to move away from those pesky negative thought patterns. Today, the Universe is suggesting that we take some time to sweep off the step and shake out our “Welcome ” mat to release any lingering negativity that is hanging around or lurking in corners. Take a deep breath, give yourself a big hug and affirm that you are worthy of receiving prosperity and abundance, and then allow yourself to welcome them with an open heart!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Jophiel the angel of Illumination and wisdom, fills us with beautiful, loving thoughts and uplifting energy which helps us to create a fresh approach to life. Jophiel tells us that goodness and beauty surround us all the time. By keeping ourselves open to receiving these blessings it draws the things we need directly to us. This is a reminder that slowing down activates our creative mind and makes these things easier to visualize and grasp and by taking the time to “smell the roses” the attitude of gratitude flows more easily.
The Ascended Master Solomon helps us to take what we are given and make the most of it. He teaches us how to do things more efficiently as he guides us through difficult situations. Focus and efficiency help us in our quest for personal evolution and help create the necessary stepping stones we need to move ahead.

This will help you see the blessings and the beauty that are right before your eyes. Take nothing for granted.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
The Agate humble 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 get the most of our life experiences.
Purple Fluorite helps strengthen our intuitive powers as it helps dispel fixed ideas and thoughts and brings the rational thinking forward so that new information is easily accepted. It is a protective stone that draws away negative energy and stress. It cleans and re-energizes the aura and promotes overall harmony and order.
Sunstone brings personal empowerment and fights procrastination. It brings out our natural optimism, self-confidence and promotes our natural flow of abundance as it soothes our fear of change and the accompanying stress that change can bring. Sunstone has a strong connection to light and helps to harness the re-energizing power of the sun during meditation and everyday life. It is linked to all benevolent deities and brings good fortune and luck.

HEALTH AND HELP
“More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.” — Mother Teresa
If we are prompted to ask for spiritual blessings for ourselves or others, how do we best do this?
Speaker Kimberly Herkert offers that it is best to simply ask the divine for health and help. As human beings, we are not capable of seeing the big picture for anyone’s situation. As a result, we are not able to judge what is best for anyone, including ourselves.
The Higher Power always knows best, and the general prayer for ‘health and help’ acknowledges the wisdom that exists there and our faith in divine will.
“God answers prayer in His own way, not ours.” — Mohandas Gandhi

A Note from the Universe
Act with faith.
Prepare the way for your inevitable success.
To the degree you can, behave as if your dreams have already come true, as if you already owned a thriving business and a steady income, as if later today you were going to have financial security for myself and family (again).
And you shall see the power you wield as the floodgates begin to tremble, the elements begin to conspire, people in your life begin to change, insights are summoned, comprehensions soar, and clarity is born.
Not to mention, fierce, wild animals lying down when you walk on by.
On with it,

The Emperor; Apply your basic practical good sense to the biggest and most serious of challenges and watch the problems wilt under your gaze. There’s nothing you can’t handle today if you can keep things uncomplicated and straightforward. Be calm but firm in your dealings and don’t allow others to add their petty complications to any of your efforts. Remember to be good to yourself.
Today’s Tarot; Thursday
The Tower : People may be expecting or needing you to be laid-back and easy to deal with but your own inclinations may make you seem more difficult and demanding. You may see yourself as just being direct while others consider you as being tactless. Save yourself a lot of grief and use extra care with your words and actions. If someone gets bent out of shape, try to catch it instantly and stop it as soon as you can.

Today’s Message:Stepping Stones
815: Back in May we laid the groundwork for initiating change in our lives. The angels are letting us know that we should start seeing results very soon if we are not seeing them already. These changes will be the catalyst that starts a new flow of abundance. During this time it’s important to remember that you and your loved ones are safe and cared for, so don’t stress! The key is to stay optimistic and let things unfold. When an opportunity presents itself don’t be afraid to grab it now. While waiting until it cycles back around is an option it’s possible that it will no longer be what you need as your personal variables will have changed. Use the opportunities as stepping stones to create a path to bigger and better things!

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 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.
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:
Black Banded Agate which 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!
Hematite helps us stay grounded and promotes feelings of safety. Hematite also brings mental clarity through focus and concentration which is essential letting go process which accompanies change.

Sometimes, when I walk in the morning, it’s dark enough for my brain to stop thinking about what’s next on my schedule. These mornings, as the night creeps and stretches further across the start of the day, random phrases jump in my head.
“Generosity lies less in giving much than in giving at the right moment.” — Jean De La Bruyère
While it’s important to give, it’s also essential that we not give more than we can afford. Only you can determine the appropriate amount of time or money you can give away, but it should not cause you hardship. We need to respect our own needs as well as the needs of others.
When do you give more than you can afford?
“Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving.” — Jon Kabat Zinn

A Note from the Universe
You don’t take “baby steps” for the distance they cover but to put yourself within reach of life’s magic.
Just like you don’t hoist your sails to move the boat, but to put yourself within reach of the wind.

Today’s Message:Support
814: Today we are again reminded to acknowledge our support systems. There are always people who are there for us and that we can always count on to have our back. It is also important that we be part of our own support system as well. Believe in yourself and have faith that you can move mountains if needed. The Angels and Ascended Masters are also always here for us, and when we need support they are only a thought away. The angels would also like us to remember that support, like abundance, comes in many forms so look for the “Tiny Miracles” and keep an open mind if help come comes from an unexpected source!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Zadkiel helps to heal our hearts and minds so that accepting support in all forms is easier. He also promotes compassion for ourselves and others while helping us to find things that we have lost, forgotten about or set aside. Ego is not a friend of truth as it forcibly tells us that we don’t need help and can do everything by ourselves. He boosts our faith and fills our hearts with peace and calm. He also helps us to remember information that will help us on this grand adventure.
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 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:
The gentle energy of Blue Lace Agate helps our overall communication skills by teaching us to freely express thoughts and feelings in a peaceful manner. it also allows us to find balance and emotional calm during times of stress. This stone is associated with the Archangel Zadkiel.
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 you really need. It shows us how to go with the flow.
Green Quartz. This stone helps attract abundance in all forms and increases our powers of perception so that we can see the “Tiny Miracles” more clearly.
Blessings for a magickal day! Cat
