Thought For The Day: Nov. 8, 2017 “The Nature of Change”

Posted on November 8, 2017 by Cat

Happy Wednesday,

I see our thought for today as relating to change. Change is a natural occurrence. Without it transformation does not take place. It also inspires feelings like worry, fear, excitement and even happiness. Take a page from the book of nature today and go with the flow. By observing nature we gain valuable insights into our own lives. Nature doesn’t fear change, it embraces it!

Life’s Constant Changes: Cat’s Angel Message for November 5, 2017

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

The inherent nature of life is constant change. To fear change is to fear life itself.

Jonathan Lockwood Huie

115: Initiating change in our lives is an ongoing endeavour and it’s important to support goals and thought seeds with positive intentions. Today’s number, 5 , relates to changes and transformations making this an excellent day to initiate something new or tend what we’re currently working on. Take time each day to affirm what you want and where you want to be, remember that “I Am ” and “I Will” are powerful motivators that will help to boost your energy levels. Remember that change should not be feared but seen as a new adventure that will enrich your life in ways that will benefit your growth (personal, spiritual, emotional). Today the Universe is reminding us not to force these changes, but to simply allow them to grow and unfold naturally as it makes for a much smoother transition.

Archangel Jeremiel gently helps us to let of the worry and fear that can accompany change and thoughts of what the future holds. The Yoruban Wind Goddess Oya shows us how to embrace the winds of change and how to use those conditions to navigate through the limitations we set upon ourselves. Our Sacred Stones for today are Iolite which helps to ease the change process and Crocoite eases life’s big shifts.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

It’s Your Future…Own It!: Cat’s Angel Message for November 2, 2017

The Future Belongs To You: Cat’s Angel Message for November 2, 2017

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

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Eleanor Roosevelt

112: Today the Universe is opening a window so that we may look ahead into our future. Like change, the future can be a scary thing. However, once again we are reminded that truth lies in our perspective and is all in how we choose to look at things. As you peek into the future ask yourself “Is where I am right now where I want to be in the future?”/ ” Am I allowing myself to move forward or am I letting fear and indecision dictate my thoughts and actions?” Remember to be honest with yourself! As we enter this new month take some time to plant a few positive thought seeds, this will pave the way for the future that we desire both for ourselves and our loved ones. Remember to stay focused on your goals and aspirations as you craft the future that you deserve. Your powers of manifestation are strong right now so use them to set things in motion!

Archangel Michael helps to take the necessary steps to keep us moving forward, he infuses our spirit with courage, self esteem and direction. Archangel Jeremiel is reminding us that concern about change is normal. Ask him to help you see your path clearly and to assist you in taking the necessary steps to embrace your future. The Greek goddess Artemis helps us to access and honor our intuition. This virgin goddess, associated with the crescent moon and hunting, helps open the doors to new beginnings which is an essential part of change. As huntress she helps us to track our goals, dreams and desires as we move forward in our quest for evolution. Our Sacred Stone for today is Chiastolite (aka Cross Stone, Andalusite). This stone can help you find harmony and balance while bringing your purpose into focus.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Cat’s Bits for October 29 – Nov.4 Thinning

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

October Events:

Oct. 31 Samhain / Halloween

November Events:

Nov. 1 All Saints Day

Nov. 4 Full Mourning Moon at 1:23 am EST

Nov. 5 Daylight saving Time ends at 2:00 am EST

Nov. 23 Thanksgiving Day USA

Nov. 25 Celtic Tree Month of Elder begins

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summer has come and gone and with the passing of Mabon the Wheel of the Year turns to Samhain, the mid point between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice. This is a special time. You can feel the energy stretching and becoming thin as the earth draws her life essence back within as she prepares for the dark half of the year. For those who are energy sensitive it can be a buzzing or tingling sensation. I personally enjoy this time of year and the unique energy aspect that it creates.

Thinning

The veil thins and the season thins as well………

Rising energy draws the life force from all of nature;

Leaving behind the drained and withered shells of what was…..

Today, the spirits of nature are dying…………

Receding within before sucumbing to the dark sleep;

Lending their energy to the Otherworld as the veil thins……

Tomorrow, the door to the Hall of Ancestors opens…..

Voices born upon the wind, spectral yet reassuring;

Drifting gently like leaves upon the currents……

Power shimmers from heaven and earth……….

The veil thins further…growing, stretching and becomes taut;

Almost to breaking, the time of high magick is here..don’t blink…

As with all things, nothing is permanent………..

The moment passes, soundlessly sliding back into shape;

Thickening, spiraling out like ripples on a pond………

With a silent sigh, all of nature relaxes…….

Easing into dark slumber, to flow upon it’s natural course;

Resting, gaining strength, contemplating the coming cycle…

Bright Blessings for a Magickal Week!

Transcending Our Limitations: Cat’s Angel Message for October 25, 2017

Transcending Our Limitations: Cat’s Angel Message for October 25, 2017

October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.

Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours.

– Richard Bach

1025: Today’s meditation on faith revolves around change. Changes happen all the time. Some we initiate and some simply happen and take us by surprise. I know that this sounds familiar because we talk about change on a regular basis. The Universe wants us to know that the life changes we are experiencing are for the best and that it is time for us to grow. Change is often seen as a scary thing, however it is all in how we perceive it. If we embrace the changes and see them in a positive light it becomes an adventure. In fact life itself is an adventure and we are explorers entering new and wondrous worlds filled with new opportunities and challenges. By accepting the challenge you are forging a path into new territory where your dreams become reality!

The Sacred Feminine spirit of the Yoruban Goddess Oya embodies the winds of change. She teaches us that must be fully embraced, not ignored or simply put up with. Changes inspire and encourage us to transcend our self imposed limitations. Archangel Michael offers us protection and gives us the courage to move in new directions. Our Sacred stone for the day is Hessonite Garnet. This stone encourages us to meet new challenges and promotes the courage to move forward.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Social Masks: Cat’s Angel Message for October 23, 2017

Posted on October 23, 2017 by Cat

Social Masks: Cat’s Angel Message for October 23, 2017

We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we’re capable of.

– Phil McGraw

1023: Today’s number represents our personal evolution. As we evolve, mentally, emotionally and spiritually it brings about events that help us to enhance our quality of life. The Universe is asking us to explore bold new ways to bring about our transformation. Embrace your power as a creator and believe without a doubt that you are able walk the path of your choosing. Our spiritual guides are assisting us today by kindling our divine spark and reminding us that it’s there. This spark is essential to our powers of creation and helps us to communicate our dreams, goals and desires. Don’t be afraid to express yourself as this is the first big step in our own evolution.

The Hindu goddess Lakshmi helps us to make plans for the future and see them through. The Greek goddess Artemis helps us to pursue or goals with focus and Ascended Master Kuthumi helps us to see our own power as a creator while removing distractions that keep us from focusing on more important things. Our Sacred Stone for today is Beryl. This stone teaches us to fulfill our true potential. It helps us to see both sides of a situation, opportunity or problem and promotes strategic planning so that we can use it to our best advantage.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Expanding Our Perspective: Cat’s Angel Message for October 20, 2017

If you nurture your mind, body, and spirit, your time will expand. You will gain a new perspective that will allow you to accomplish much more.

– Brian Koslow

1020: Every day we face issues and problems that demand our attention. Sometimes it’s pretty easy to resolve them, while other times they keep popping up and slapping us upside the head. In order to deal with recurring problems we must let go of what no longer works for us. The key is to replace the old and obsolete with a fresh outlook. Step back to get a new perspective and be willing to try new ways of doing things. While this may offer a challenge it will help us in the long run. Keep your faith and step into your power as a creator. Partner with the Universe and be at peace with yourself. Remember, you don’t need to carry burdens alone, our divine support system is always here to lend help and support.

Call upon Spirit (Goddess, God, Ascended Masters or Angels) and ask for whatever kind of assistance you need right now. Our Sacred Stone is Celestite. This crystal helps us to achieve spiritual peace as it connects us to the Universal energies.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Moving On: Cat’s Angel Message for October 16, 2017

Before moving on, you have to clear away your cherished beliefs. ~- Dick Raymond

1016: As we embrace transformation and personal growth it’s easy to allow worry and fear to seep into the edges of our consciousness. Do your best to keep your balance and don’t allow material worries tip the scales. Our number today reminds us that we are cared for and all of our needs are being met. It’s okay to unload your concerns and fears into angelic arms as you allow yourself the freedom to explore new territory. With the moon in the waning phase it’s a good time review things you’ve done and let go of what isn’t working for you. This will help you in the new cycle that starts on Thursday by smoothing the way for personal evolution.

The Egyptian goddess Maat helps to protect us against the manipulation of others and helps to clarify confusing situations. Archangel Michael can assist us by cutting the cords that have been attached to us by others. These cords drain our energy and can promote personal disharmony and Ascended Master Buddha shows the path of moderation and balance as he helps us to embrace new growth. Our sacred Stone for today is Smoky Quartz. This crystal has an amazing vibration that gently grounds our spiritual energy and neutralizes negative vibrations.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Changing How You See: Cat’s Angel Message for October 15, 2017

Change what you see by changing how you see. Jonathan Lockwood Huie

1015: Fall is a transformative season that embodies change. As we travel our life path our beliefs and overall perceptions go through periods of change and growth. Spirit is letting us know that we are entering one of these periods now. These coming changes will benefit both ourselves and our loved ones and will have a powerful impact on what we do in the future. Yesterday’s self care day was the first step in helping us to prepare for the personal transformations that will be occurring. Our ability to be open to divine guidance as well as our optimistic attitude will benefit us during this period of emotional and spiritual growth. Creative thinking also comes into play and will take us down new avenues that we are now ready to explore. The key is to be confident in yourself and your intuitive skills because you are the only one who truly knows what’s best for you. Take the opinions of others with a grain of salt, if their words have merit consider them, but ultimately the choices are yours. Embrace this time of personal growth and get ready to expand your horizons!

The Mayan goddess Ixchel helps to get our creative juices flowing by breaking through the barriers we have erected that are blocking our progress. Call on her if you are starting something new. Archangel Gabriel, the angel of revelation, helps motivate us into taking action through new ideas, thoughts and activities. She help to bring messages from the Sacred Source that are relevant to our path and the Ascended Master Kuthumi helps us learn to embrace change without fear. Our Sacred Stone for today is Garnet which opens our creative side and frees up our energy so we can experiment with new ideas.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

The Life That’s Waiting: Cat’s Angel Message for October 5, 2017

Posted on October 5, 2017 by Cat

AutumnAngelbyCat 2

The Life That’s Waiting: Cat’s Angel Message for October 5, 2017

We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.

– Joseph Campbell

105: Our message today involves change. Change usually happens when we aren’t paying attention and this can be a little scary. However, change is generally a good thing designed to help us grow. Over the last several months we have worked on initiating change in our lives and when we do our best to hold it in a positive light things happen more smoothly. Be assertive and follow your inner guidance. Today the angels are asking us to stay in the present and acknowledge the changes we have initiated or want to make happen. Asking for assistance from the Divine and from the angels works to our benefit as does asking for the grace and courage to make these changes a reality. Remember to implement your creative thinking to find new ways and ideas that will help you to make things happen.

Archangel Uriel helps us to let go of the past and invite changes and transformation into our lives. He helps us to find harmony in the things going on around us. Letting go is essential for change and transformation to take place. Letting go is often seen as a type of “death”. This lesson can be a challenge, however it’s necessary if we are to continue to grow. Ask the goddesses Pele, Kali or Oya to assist you today. Our Sacred Stone for today is Smoky Quartz. This is an excellent protective stone that also grounds, centers and provides assistance in the letting go process.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!
