Change = Growth:Cat’s Angel Message for January 25, 2023

January’s Theme: Stay focused on where you want to go and not where you have been. Looking forward will help us to manifest our dreams and goals. When our perspective is optimisic the things we fear lose their power.

Today’s Message: Change = Growth

125: Changes are an ongoing part of life. Some we initiate for ourselves while others hit us out of the blue. Our focus today is on the changes that we create with the intention of making things better for ourselves. When we make requests of the angels and the Universe remember to keep your intentions clear. This helps the Universe direct the right opportunity your way and provides a powerful focus point for you as well. Today, the angels are telling you that your prayers have been heard. Their message is ” Change = Growth” and the things that are happening for you now will be good for you and those around you. Turn your fear and worry over to us to deal with so that your focus remains uninterrupted.” Keep in mind that the answers and opportunities you seek can come from both expected and unexpected sources so don’t cut yourself short by looking in only one direction!

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 Paramahansa Yogananda teaches us that during times of stress or loss of focus peace can be found through meditation. Remember that meditation can be as simple as taking several deep breaths and centering yourself. Use this as your personal reset button.

The Yoruban Goddess Oya embodies the winds of change. She tells us, ” Allow the winds of change to flow through your being. In their wake they will leave new energy seeds for you to plant. Use these seeds to help you on your journey. Remember child, that  change must be embraced, not ignored or simply put up with. Allow these changes to inspire and encourage you to transcend your self imposed limitations.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Soft colored Lepidolite helps us by filtering away distractions and obsessive thinking so that we can focus on more important things. It soothes and heals stress and reminds us to just breathe.

Black Obsidian. This stone not only protects it also helps to bring negative energy to the surface where it can be dispelled and provides support during times of change. It takes the “things” that we’ve hidden and composts them into positive soil to support out new growth.

Okenite helps clear away obstacles and teaches us the important lesson that the universe is filled with unlimited possibilities when we allow ourselves to face and adapt to change. It helps us to find our inner strength so that we can finish what we start

Today’s Message: Cruising Life’s Flow

54:  Today the universe is reassuring us that the changes we are experiencing are for the best. Even though things in our lives may not be perfect, change has a way of drawing new blessings and people who make it interesting and can help us on our path of personal evolution. These periods of growth are an important part of life, and the truth is that we are all striving to be the best person that we can be. Remember, the key is to go with the flow and try not to fight or resist the changes taking place. Just do your best to allow them to happen and work with them, making the best choices that you can. The Universe and our helpers are here to assist and support us during these important personal transitions.

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.

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.

The Yoruban Goddess Oya embodies the winds of change. She tells us, ” Allow the winds of change to flow through your being. In their wake, they will leave new energy seeds for you to plant. Use these seeds to help you on your journey. Remember child, that change must be embraced, not ignored, or simply put up with. Allow these changes to inspire and encourage you to transcend your self-imposed limitations.”

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 with 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.

The gentle energy of Seraphinite clears the heart chakra and helps to open us to love on all levels. It is also used to review the progress that you have made in life and shows the changes that we need to make to best help us on our path.

Today’s Message: It’s About Support

43: Everyone needs a loving support system, which consists of friends and family. However, we also have help from the Divine realms in the form of the angels, the ascended masters, or our patron Goddess/God. By sharing our hopes, dreams, fears, or even grief with our support systems the wheels begin to turn and things are set in motion. It brings us renewed energy, peace, and healing. We then find that we are able to work the small miracles that enrich our lives as well as being able to appreciate the tiny miracles that occur on a daily level. The Universe is also encouraging us to take a look at both lifestyle and home. Ask yourself what changes you can make that will bring more balance, peace, and good vibes into your situation and environment.

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.

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:

Spirit Quartz is a crystal of peace. It helps to resolve arguments and helps to restore harmonious energy to the home., especially in the home environment, and restores harmony to the household by enhancing our sense of belonging. This crystal also promotes teamwork, patience, and abundance.

 The gentle energy of Seraphinite clears the heart chakra and helps to open us to love on all levels. It is also used to review the progress that you have made in life and shows the changes that we need to make to best help us on our path.

Tanzanite helps to link with the angelic realms, spirit guides, and the ascended masters.

Thought For The Day: Oct. 21, 2020 “You Can Do This!”

Posted on by

Happy Wednesday,

Every so often it’s necessary to take stock of where we are on our path. I call this a “self-check”. Ask yourself these questions:

*Am I happy in the direction my life is taking me?

*Am I doing things that I love or am I just going through the motions.

*Am I doing things for ME or am I doing things to make others happy?

Remember that your life is yours to create and that your wants and needs are important. if something isn’t working for you then take action and change it. You are the only one who can!

Thought For The Day: July 2, 2020 “Just Start”

Posted on by

Happy Thursday,

Making changes and moving forward can be a little scary. We want to make things happen but may not know how to start. It all starts with that first step. Maybe that first step is the gathering of information or setting something in motion. The step doesn’t need to be big so baby steps will work just fine. What’s important is that you take that first step. You can do it!

June’s Theme: Maintaining balance in all areas of our lives. (material, spiritual, goals, dreams, self, etc.) Create and invite good things through focus and faith while staying grounded and present.



Choose what lies in the shadows to be a matter for discovery and adventure, rather than fear. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




625:  Many of us are currently experiencing heightened sensitivity to what’s going on around us and within us. This can cause stress or anxiety in areas and in ways we have not experienced before. Today, the Universe is letting us know that this increased sensitivity will help you in both your personal evolution and the personal changes that you are experiencing. Our first reaction is usually to block things and if you need to do that that’s fine for the short term. However, the benefit will come through the experiences themselves and the angels are asking us to go with the flow and allow them to unfold. Understanding and growth will come from unlocking the place where loving-kindness dwells and opening your heart these experiences will help you to make healthy changes that will benefit you in the long run. Have faith in yourself and in the Universe and remember that you are safe and care for.

EarthSky News: Watch for a young moon after sunset


The hunt for a young moon – a thin crescent moon visible in the west after sunset – has become a favorite activity for many of EarthSky’s moon-watching fans. Although the new moon came to pass on August 30, 2019, we’re expecting a number of people around the world to catch the whisker-thin waxing crescent after sunset August 31. If you miss the exceedingly slender young moon at dusk on August 31, give it another try on September 1, 2 or 3. Look west, shortly after sunset.

Patheos-Pagan:  Solitary Witch: Living, Being, Doing


From the beginning of my spiritual journey in the Craft, I’ve been a Solitary Witch. Living, being, and doing witchcraft on my own feels right to me. Why? Independence is a major factor. I’m responsible for my spiritual and magickal journey.

Inner Journey:


Willingness to change


“At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.”

— Thich Nhat Hahn


How are you feeling in this moment? If you are not feeling great, are you willing to make the effort right now to shift your focus so you feel better? Finding something to appreciate will do it.


If you are not willing, that’s okay. Don’t judge yourself. Just be aware that you are choosing to stay where you are.


“Choice of attention… is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be.”

— W.H. Auden

A Note from the Universe


Wild, huh how the entirety of living deliberately can be summed up in just three words?


Thoughts become things.


Of course, beliefs are important too, but your thoughts can change what you believe.


And words are important, they’re your thoughts that will become things the soonest.


And taking action is absolutely critical, because it alone connects the dots.

Spread the word,


The Universe

Leisure


“Leisure, some degree of it, is necessary to the health of every man’s spirit.”


-Harriet Martineau, Society in America (1837)


A woman said this, so we can assume that she naturally meant every man and woman’s spirit! And this is so true. We care for the health of our body by eating right and exercising. We care for our mental health by learning new things and solving problems. The best way to care for the health of our spirit is to enjoy some time at leisure, doing what we love to do. It’s refreshing and invigorating!

Daily Tarot: The Hanged Man


Be calm, proactive, and don’t exhaust yourself with endless fear. Any number of things might backfire or go wrong today, just like any other day, and there is little if anything extraordinary to be fearful about now. Your basic sense of insecurity may be higher than normal today, but this will pass soon. Take heart and be your normal brave self.
