Better Things: Cat’s Angel Message for August 25, 2019

August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!



Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. – Marilyn Monroe




825:  We’ve been working with faith, confidence, and intuition and today we are being asked to add self-honesty to the mix and put them to work on a different level. There are times when we need to step back and look at where we are and what surrounds us and today is one of those times. To move forward we need to make choices and decisions that speak to our personal truth. It’s time to gently let go of the things that are draining your time and energy (people, situations, and things we have outgrown) in favor of more positive pursuits. Having faith in yourself helps us to move forward, and having the confidence to use your intuition as a guide helps us to find and embrace new and better things. Stay focused and keep your mind open as this will help you see the hidden “gems” along our path!




Archangel Jeremiel helps us to make positive life choices. He understands that it’s hard for us to let go of people and situations even though they are holding us back or causing us unintended stress, drama or harm. Jeremiel can help ease these transitions. The Ascended Master Melchizedek helps us through the manifestation process as he protects us against psychic attack and helps us to diffuse unpleasant situations. He also helps us to heal through color, so pay attention to the colors that draw you or feel relevant. And the Hawaiian Goddess Pele reminds us that “Within you lives the sacred fire that gives life to your greatest dreams and passions. This part of you must be allowed to come forward, not smothered beneath fear, resentment or the expectations of others. Your fire will help you forge new paths!”

We will either find a way or make one. – Hannibal




824:  Yesterday we talked about using our natural talents to help us create the life we want. However, to make things happen we must also have faith in ourselves and in the Universe. Our angels are reminding us that faith relies upon courage and when it wavers so can our faith. Since our thoughts and actions create our reality it’s fair to say that our courage and conviction stem from them as well. We can help even more by allowing ourselves to be guided through personal truth and values. Rely on your inner guidance and your ability to think outside the box. Gather your gifts around you like an armored cloak and move through your day with confidence and create the life you deserve!

And the Hindu Goddess, White Tara asks us to “Come and sit beside me. I will help ease the worry in your heart and teach you how to replace it with gratitude and joy. This is where faith dwells and we must only open the doors and invite it forward.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


    

  • Hematite has a strong connection to the earth element and helps us stay grounded and promotes feelings of safety and courage. Hematite also brings mental clarity through focus and concentration which is essential to the letting go process which accompanies change.

Miracles are the natural way of the Universe – our only job is to move our doubting minds aside and let the miracles flow. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Using our natural talents also strengthens our connection to our personal truth and the values that are important to us. They also boost our creative thinking and problem-solving skills and intuitive abilities. Be sure to pay attention and explore new directions. Natural talents also make us feel good about ourselves and can bring happiness into our everyday lives through gratitude and mindfulness.

Your inner wisdom is a powerful thing and you know in your heart when something is good and right.”

Fulfilling Your Dreams: Cat’s Angel Message for August 19, 2019


August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!




You’re supposed to be using your gifts and fulfilling your dreams at every age. ~Victoria Moran




819:  The Universe provides us with everything that we need to make our lives happy and successful. however, it’s our job to pay attention and take advantage of what is offered to us. Remember that you have access to higher assistance as well as your own inner guidance system (use your gifts!). Extra momentum is gained when we do our best to keep things in a positive perspective and embrace the attitude of gratitude. By doing this we can manifest and create a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. Today the angels are reminding us to stay focused on our goals. This focus is essential because it broadens our outlook and helps to propel us forward into the life we want. Remember, we are all worthy of good things and by working together with the Universe we create a win-win situation!




Archangel Sandalphon delivers our prayers and requests to Spirit as well as the angels and ascended masters who are best suited to help us. His energy is gentle and very subtle and he speaks to us most often through music. 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 and 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.  And the Greek goddess Artemis helps us to feel more comfortable accessing and listening to our inner guidance system. She tells us “All the skills and knowledge you need for success lives within you. Your inner wisdom is a powerful thing and you know in your heart when something is good and right.”

The Question Is: Cat’s Angel Message for August 18, 2019


August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!




The question is not what you look at, but what you see. – Henry David Thoreau




818:  An optimistic and creative mindset will help to generate new and wonderful things. But first we must let go and allow change to happen. The Universe is telling us today that a phase or cycle in our lives is coming to a close and it’s time to move on to the next level. Remember that when one door closes another opens. Your power of personal manifestation is moving quickly and the key will be in staying motivated and confident in your own ability to create for yourself. Don’t allow yourself to backslide into outdated or negative thought patterns if you want to keep the doors open and the roadways clear. The good things that are headed your way may send you in a new direction but one that will be worth it!




Archangel Zadkiel reminds us that change requires compassion, understanding and quite often the forgiveness of ourselves and others. This is essential to the letting go and the letting it be processes, as it allows our hearts and minds to make room and just breathe and helps us to embrace compassion which makes room for new growth.  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”. If you are finding yourself stuck at a crossroads and are wondering which direction to go the Greek goddess Hecate can offer guidance to point you in the right direction. Some of Hecate’s lessons are tough but worth the effort. Her message is ” I am the guardian of the crossroads. Remember that to move ahead you must face your fears and release the past. Change and circumstance are inviting you to choose a path. It is your choice so make the one that is best for you.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


 Aquamarine balance’s emotions that can become frayed during the change that new cycles create. It helps us to move forward and navigate the ebb and flow of life.


Tiger Iron, which is a combination of Jasper, Hematite and Tiger’s Eye, helps to promote change by opening space within and providing the energy to accomplish what’s needed by generating new and creative ways and ideas to make the changes easier.


Unakite which promotes rebirth and gently assists us in finding and releasing old things that are blocking our progress.

It Depends: Cat’s Angel Message for August 17, 2019


August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!




Happiness depends upon ourselves. – Aristotle




817:  Our power of positive thought comes into play today as the Universe encourages us to celebrate our lives and the things we have to be grateful for. Doing so helps to propel us forward and aids our overall creation and manifestation process. Honesty and sincerity will be the keys to unlocking new doors along our path. Be ready to make the most of what will be offered, hesitation may cause you to miss out. Remember, whether the offerings are a new crop of tiny miracles or the whole enchilada it is our positive and creative mind that will help us to achieve our goals. Be grateful for what you have because you really do have so much to be grateful for!




Archangel Haniel showers us with stardust, illuminating our thoughts and memories so that we can remember what magickal beings we truly are, which assists us in the creation process. In turn, this shows us how to receive with grace and gratitude. This process accelerates when we allow beauty and harmony to surround us. It helps us to enjoy ourselves which makes blessings easier to receive. The Ascended Master Saint Germain surrounds us with loving protection. He teaches us how to clear the way and free our minds from worry so that we can work on more important things. And the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi teaches us that good things happen when we embrace the world with a grateful and appreciative heart.

Make room and feel the lightness it creates within your spirit.”

Before You Can……: Cat’s Angel Message for August 16, 2019


August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!




Before you can forgive others, you must be a person whose forgiveness matters. Before you can have gratitude for your life, you must believe that your life has value. Before your choices have value, you must feel that you yourself have value. Before you can dream a great dream for your future, you have to believe that your future matters. Before you can build positive habits of resolve and commitment, before you can begin to live into the Japanese proverb, “Fall seven times, stand up eight,” you must believe that your life matters. Before you can celebrate your life, you must honor it. And, before you can feel unity with, and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation, you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




816:  As we know, our thoughts play an important role in our ability to manifest the things we need, both within ourselves and in our lives. By embracing a positive attitude we are effectively setting out the “Welcome” mat to help draw all the things that will enrich our lives. But first, we have to let go of the 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 allow yourself to welcome them with an open heart!




Gadiel is one of the angels of abundance. He shows us the way to maintaining a positive attitude by releasing negative and limiting beliefs. His guidance can help you to transform your life. The Ascended Master Vywamus teaches us that change can be a healing opportunity. This happens as we allow ourselves to let go of things that have held us back. Along the way, we unearth talents that we had set aside, which will help us to move forward. And the Irish Goddess Dana tells us that, “While you wait for these blessings to arrive fill your heart with feelings of abundance. Engage yourself in things that make you feel abundant!” ….. ” Your energy is linked to the energy of the Divine. Acknowledge and strengthen this connection as it allows you to handcraft your dreams.”




Our Sacred Stones for today 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.


Mahogany Obsidian keeps us grounded and protects as it helps to eliminate energy blocks, and helps promote growth on all levels


Peridot brings new levels of awareness as it promotes growth and necessary change. It helps to sharpen the mind and enhances our self-confidence. Peridot can teach us to look back at the past and find the gifts that are hidden within our experiences and then shows us the path to forgiveness and moving forward.

August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!




Life’s up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want. – Marsha Sinetar




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 positive and let things happen naturally. 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!

Allow these changes to inspire and encourage you to transcend your self imposed limitations.”
