Learning To Adapt: Cat’s Angel Message for January 13, 2025

The year 2025 is deemed a Universal Year, with the single digit 9 (2+0+2+5=9) representing the end of a cycle. This suggests that we should mindfully release things and allow relationships, ventures, jobs, habits, etc., to reach their natural conclusion. Rather than forcing outcomes, we should let them unfold naturally, surrounding them positive energy and then releasing them. It is time to make room for new beginnings.

January Crystals: Garnet: Strength and protection. Rose Quartz: Creativity and imagination. Amethyst: Problem solving and decision making.

Today’s Message: Learning To Adapt

13: Blessings in disguise come in various forms, including obstacles that can arise anywhere and at any time. The Universe reminds us that appearances can be deceiving and that the key to handling these “blessings in disguise” is our ability to adapt to the changes they bring and use our powers of perspective to gain clarity. Every obstacle, even those disguised as blessings, carries a lesson or series of lessons. The universe is reminding us that change is a crucial component that can bring new opportunities and personal growth if we are willing to adapt and work with it rather than resist it. Illuminate the situation with perspective and seek that “one good thing” to help you begin. Embracing the flow and learning to adapt will be one of your greatest assets.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

He helps us to find our courage and our direction while giving us the strength that we need to choose wisely and make decisions on our own.

The Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us that laughter and joy are an essential part of self-care and creates the positive essence that keeps our energy flowing. Finding humor in a situation teaches us that change isn’t so scary when faced with laughter and joy.

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!”

It attracts new forms of abundance and teaches us to channel our energy in creative ways.

It also aids in balancing emotions and calming fears, allowing us to address problems and temporary setbacks, ultimately enabling us to reach our full potential. Furthermore, it helps dissolve issues and insecurities that may arise when faced with new opportunities.

 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 helps us on our path.

The Priority of Progress: Cat’s Angel Message for September 28, 2024

September’s Theme: “What Do I Want?” “What do I need?” These are some of the questions that we often ask ourselves. As we head into Autumn and the season of introspection dig deep and harvest the answers that will help you on your path.

______________________________

By creating something better we are embracing the opportunities to do what we love. Cat

_____________________________

Today’s Message: The Priority of Progress

928: Whether we realize it or not the Universe provides support for your purpose as well as everything that is needed to make things happen. Today we are being guided to reflect on our path as the angels ask this important question, ” Are you doing what you love?” Too often we find ourselves stuck in relationships, jobs and activities that we have outgrown, or we don’t enjoy. By letting these things go we are inviting the energy needed to create something better. By creating something better we are embracing the opportunities to do what we love. The key is in taking responsibility and then adding your energy to the equation (do your part). Don’t sit back and just wait for things to happen. By taking the necessary steps you will be ready to grab the opportunities when they appear. If you miss one by hesitating it will come back around but it may take a while to reappear. Strengthen your resolve to make forward progress a priority. Ask for what you need to make this happen and embrace your power as a creator to ensure you are doing your part.

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 Melchizedek helps keep our energy balanced and flowing. This is essential for using our gifts and understanding the information we receive. He can also help to diffuse unpleasant situations that can arise as we go through change and transformation. Since he helps us heal through color, pay attention to the colors that draw you or feel relevant

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”

Our Sacred Stones for today 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!

Blue Green Chrysocolla helps make smooth transitions and helps us to accept change with serenity by inviting the energy of universal love into our personal experiences. It brings our inner strength and self-awareness forward which keeps our energy balanced and our creative side active which allows us to handle change more effectively.

Gold Sheen Obsidian helps us to set our ego aside so that our authentic self can come forward.

It’s Review Time: Cat’s Angel Message for July 17, 2020

July’s Theme: Pay attention to your path. You will be receiving important guidance this month so get ready to receive. If something compels you to take action this is the time to go for it!



Check your progress today and be persistent about tying up loose ends. ~Cat




717: Achieving growth on personal and spiritual levels is hard work and these periods of growth occur when we initiate positive change in our lives. Today the Angels simply want us to know that we are on the right path and that our patience and persistence are paying off. Look back and review your progress and the lessons you have learned. By putting these things into practice you gain a deeper and more fulfilling view of your path. Take some time today to connect to the Divine Source (Spirit, Goddess, God ) and offer thanks for the blessings in your life or ask for Divine guidance. Like the Angels, Spirit hears and answers us although the response may be much more subtle. Since the essence of Spirit is love be sure to send out loving energy out to those who need it. When love is sent out everyone wins!




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.

He also helps us to remember information that will help us on this grand adventure.


 


The Ascended Master Serapis Bey brings us the necessary spiritual insight we need when dealing with negative people, feelings or situations. By surrounding yourself with loving energy you can find the peace you need to deal with off-color moments. He teaches us that loving self-care allows us the choice of removing ourselves from negative people and situations.


 


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. ” Clear your mind and allow the creative source to fill you. New things are waiting for you to embrace them!”

It transforms outdated thinking during times when we feel stuck and enables our forward progress by encouraging a fresh perspective. This stone also promotes grounding and enhances our connection to Mother Earth. It reminds us that we are a part of her as well as being spiritual beings on a very human 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 f rom the Universe

It isn’t easy at first, but one of the greatest gifts you could ever give someone who makes your heart soar is the freedom to learn their own lessons, at their own pace.


Even trickier is discovering that one of the greatest gifts you could ever give someone who gets on your nerves is the freedom to learn their own lessons, at their own pace.


And perhaps most challenging of all is understanding that one of the greatest gifts you could ever give yourself is the realization that your heart soaring and your nerves fraying have never been dependent upon other people and their lessons.

Helping

“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.”


-Herman Melville

When we help one person, we’re helping all people – and we’re helping ourselves. Because of our intricate connection with each other – we feel it on some deep primordial level. And it works the other way, too. When one of us is hurt, all of us are hurt. Because of technology and advances in communications, we can understand better how something like a war, way on the other side of the world affects each one of us. We see the war; we feel the emotions. People we love are far away from us, and our hearts are with them, and their families. We can help them with our thoughts and prayers.


-Lissa Coffey

Keep Improving: Cat’s Angel Message for March 12, 2020


 March Theme: Manifesting our dreams and goal requires focus and clarity. By working on self-love we find the inner peace needed to navigate our path like a pro.




The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him. – Abraham Lincoln




312: The Universe is speaking to us today through repetitive thoughts, ideas and visual. These important clues are designed to help us to improve our lives. We all have areas that need attention and if something is not okay, or isn’t working out for you then the time has come to move on to something better. The key is in being honest with yourself so don’t put frosting on a problem and then tell yourself that it’s all better. It’s through change that we make these needed improvements, and while changes take time to remember that baby steps are the key to making them successful. Each step in itself is important so don’t be too eager and rush ahead as you might miss out on something amazing. Changes are often seen as scary but don’t let fear take over, remember that you are supported in every way!




Today’s Spirit Helpers include:


Archangel Raziel helps us to access and fine tune both our psychic and intuitive abilities so that we are better able to receive divine guidance.


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 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.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


Black Banded Agate which helps us start new things, embrace new beginnings and projects. It promotes the creativity needed to make things happen.


Chrysanthemum Stone can help to remove obstacles from our path. Since obstacles tend to pop up during periods of change, this stone promotes the harmony and the balance we need to help our forward progress.


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.




Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

ThoughtCo: Mabon History: The Second Harvest 


Two days a year, the Northern and Southern hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight. Not only that, each receives the same amount of light as they do dark—this is because the earth is tilted at a right angle to the sun, and the sun is directly over the equator. In Latin, the word equinox translates to “equal night.”

Daily Good: Bronnie Ware: Living Without Regrets


“Bronnie Ware is an author and speaker whose bestselling book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, is based on her time as a palliative care worker. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Bronnie outlines these five major life regrets with Tami Simon and discusses the experiences in end-of-life care that inspired them. Bronnie explains how most regrets arise from a lack of courage and why people are willing to share so openly during their last days. Tami and Bronnie speak on the healing power of sharing our most vulnerable selves, even if it’s in a letter that we never send. Finally, they talk about maintaining trust in the flow of life and why happiness is ultimately a choice.”

Elephant Journal: Why Saving the Butterflies is just as Important as the Bees.


Seeing a Monarch used to be quite common, but now, they are in trouble.

Their numbers are declining rapidly. In fact, their numbers have decreased by 90 percent in just 20 years. In California, in just one year, their numbers dropped 86 percent.

These butterflies are marvelous creatures. They are the only insect that migrates to a warmer climate. In fact, National Geographic says, “it’s one of the greatest natural events on Earth.”

MNN: Why you should add some Kaizen to your life


Achieving big goals can be daunting. Whether it’s self-improvement or learning a new skill, overly ambitious ideas can leave you feeling like it’s not even worth starting.

EarthSky News: Perseids about to peak!


When is the peak of the Perseid meteor shower in 2019? The most meteors are most likely to fall in the predawn hours on August 13, yet under the light of a bright waxing gibbous moon. The mornings of August 11 and 12 are surely worth trying, too, especially as there will be more moon-free viewing time on these mornings

Patheos-Pagan: A Beautiful Sacrifice


Many Pagans and polytheists have an uneasy relationship with sacrifice.

Many of us come to this path through Wicca, where “The Charge of the Goddess” – the closest thing there is to scripture in the modern Pagan world –

Inner Journey:


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

Ideas


“Every new idea has something of the pain and peril of childbirth about it.”


-Samuel Butler (1835-1902)


It seems like ideas are a dime a dozen, there are so many of them out there. But the real value comes from the execution of those ideas! Ah! How many times have we seen some invention or some new contraption and said: “I thought of that!” Yes, and someone else did, too- and the difference is that someone took that idea and ran with it, and made it a reality. It’s easy and fun to sit around and brainstorm. The “pain and peril” comes from the work that is involved in developing the idea into something that is viable, something that is tangible.


-Lissa Coffey

Daily Tarot: Wheel of Fortune


Restlessness and boredom could slow you down and take you off on some unintended tangent. If you can’t break free of the usual routine today, do what’s necessary and perhaps schedule more delicate tasks for another time when it will be easier to be precise and attend to details. Know your own limits and if possible don’t take on something that will only frustrate you. If you must, start slow.

Life’s True Lessons: Cat’s Angel Message for March 12, 2019 


March Theme: This month carries the energy of the Ascended Masters. We will be working to improve self love, inner peace and overall clarity. These things will help on the path to manifesting our dreams and goals.




The book of life is filled with incoherent riddles. Life’s true lessons are inscribed in a corner of the margin. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




312:  The Universe is speaking to us today through repetitive thoughts, ideas and visuals. These important clues are designed to help us to improve our lives. We all have areas that need attention and if something is not okay, or isn’t working out for you then the time has come to move on to something better. The key is in being honest with yourself so don’t put frosting on a problem and then tell yourself that it’s all better. It’s through change that we make these needed improvements, and while changes take time remember that baby steps are the key to making them successful. Each step in itself is important so don’t be too eager and rush ahead as you might miss out on something amazing. Changes are often seen as scary but don’t let fear take over,  remember that you are supported in every way!




Archangel Jeremiel provides both protection and direction as we navigate the avenues of self improvement. 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. The Ascended Master Saint Germain helps us stay on track by showing us where improvement is needed. He is adept at make room for new things and giving us the courage to see it through. And the Yoruban goddess Oya says ” My child 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.” 




Our Sacred Stone for today is 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 the most of our life experiences.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
