HOW to WORK WITH THE Archangel Power Tarot Cards

This deck was created to empower you! After all, you can always get wonderful an­swers and guidance from the angels. But if you don't feel strong, prepared, courageous, motivated, or qualified, you may not put their messages into action. With the Arch­angel Power Tarot Cards, you'll get answers plus the courage to move forward fearlessly.

Tarot is an ancient and very reliable divination tool that has provided millions of people with comfort and detailed insight for hundreds of years. Its longevity is a tes­tament to its effectiveness and its ability to cut across cultural lines and languages to provide messages that resonate and are ex­tremely accurate.

Tarot cards have a magical ability to peer through both daily occurrences and

1

significant challenges and deliver a clear path of guidance. However, many people dis­like the traditional imagery or phrases in tar­ot that could be interpreted as meaning that their fate has been "sealed." These disturbing words and images hide the fact that tarot is a very loving and caring form of divination that relays messages meant to empower and strengthen those who use such cards.

The tarot reflects a benevolent Universe that only wants to lead us on a path toward joy and fulfillment. So the Archangel Power Tarot Cards were created to preserve the ancient tarot methods, but with a message of hope and inspiration for those looking to make powerful changes in their lives. That isn't to say that this deck lacks the full spectrum of human experience or the wide range of intuitive insight that traditional tarot cards have; the basic concepts and historical integrity have been left fully intact for those seeking enlightenment and comfort from the cards.

There is a great deal of time-honored symbolism in the Archangel Power Tarot Cards, and also some exciting and uplifting new

2

interpretations. These cards will feel familiar to experienced tarotists while also being easy for beginners to understand and interpret. I believe that you'll find this beautiful and life­affirming deck to be filled with the answers you seek, and that at the same time it will give you the courage to change your life in powerful and inspiring ways.

About Your Archangel Power

Tarot Cards

Tarot originally consisted of two sets of cards called Arcana, which is the plural of Arcanum, meaning a deep or profound se­cret or mystery. These two Arcana were later combined into the now-traditional 78 cards.

The first set is today called the Major Ar­cana, comprising 22 cards that describe major events and turning points in our lives (like marriage, pregnancy, relationship and career changes, and overcoming personal challeng­es). The Major Arcana cards can also represent the different phases from childhood to old age.

3

The second set of cards is called the Minor Arcana, which consists of four suits representing different aspects of human life. The Minor Arcana cards are numbered 1 (Ace) through 10, plus the court cards—a Page (card number 11), a Knight (card 12), a Queen (card 13), and a King (card 14)—for each suit. While the Major Arcana represents major life transitions, the Minor Arcana reflects the day-to-day aspects of our lives.

As you work with the Archangel Power Tarot Cards, you'll notice that each Major Arcana card features one of the 15 major archangels! (A few archangels appear on more than one Major Arcana card, as they embody aspects of several cards.) These heavenly beings provide strong protection and clear guidance as you travel along your spiritual path. These cards can also be mixed in with your other angel oracle decks to pro­vide additional details in your readings.

The Minor Arcana consists of four suits or elements. In traditional tarot, they are usually named wands, cups, swords, and coins. However, each of these suits has been reinterpreted to correspond with a

4

very powerful and loving archangel. In this card deck, our daily lives are protected and inspired by Archangels Gabriel, Raphael, Michael, and Ariel. You'll read more about these suits and how they relate to each archangel later in this guidebook.

Court cards (the Page, Knight, Queen, or King) can represent either a situation or a person during a reading. In order to make it easy for the reader, personality attributes have been placed at the top of each card, while situational descriptions are at the bottom. To know which is relevant in the reading, review the surrounding cards and let your intuition guide you. It's also important to note that the genders depicted on the court cards aren't something you need be tied to.

On a historical note, the Major Arcana was originally created with Justice as the 8th card and Strength as the 11th card. However, in the early 20th century, Arthur Edward Waite flipped the cards' positions when he created his famous Rider-Waite deck. His reasons for doing so were obscure and disruptive to the flow of the Major Arcana's

5

spiritual-path story. So the cards have been restored to their original positions in the Archangel Power Tarot Cards.

Since each individual tarot card has multiple possible meanings, I recommend you read each description in this guidebook and let your intuition lead you to the appro­priate interpretation for the reading. Trust your angels and feelings to guide you. The cards in this deck are rich with symbolism and imagery, and the illustrations also pro­vide answers and messages. Notice which aspects of each card's painting capture your attention, as that can be part of your answer. This guidebook, coupled with your intu­ition, will help you understand the answers to all of your questions.

How to Use Your Archangel Power Tarot Cards

Here are the steps to give an oracle-card reading to yourself or others:

Step 1: Clear Your Card Deck

6

Since your cards are sensitive instru­ments, they need to be cleared of any energy they may have absorbed from the manufac­turing process. Steps 1 and 2 only need re­peating after another person touches your deck or if your readings lack clarity because the cards have become clogged with too much energy.

To clear your cards, first hold the deck in your nondominant hand (the hand you normally don't write with), as this is the hand that receives energy. Form a fist with your other hand (this is the one that sends energy), and knock on the cards once. This clears out the old energy so that the cards are now a blank slate and ready to be im­bued with your own vibration. Or, a gentler way to clear the cards is to wave your hand over them while saying, "God and angels, please clear away any lower energies from these cards"—and it is done.

Step 2: Consecrate the Cards

Briefly touch all of the cards to infuse them with your personal energy. You can

7

simply touch one of the corners of each to accomplish this. Then fan the cards out with the artwork facing you. Hold the fanned cards to your heart and think about any prayers or intentions you'd like to be­stow upon your cards. For instance, you can say the following silently or aloud:

"I ask that all of my readings with these cards be accurate and specific, and bring blessings to everyone involved. Please help me stay centered

in my higher self so that I may clearly hear, see, feel, and know the Divine messages that wish to come through these readings."

Ask and pray for whatever help you'd like during your readings, such as confi­dence, clarity, compassion, and so forth. Your cards now carry your personal vibra­tion and intentions.

Step 3: Ask a Question

Think of a question you'd like an answer to. If you're giving a reading to someone, ask him or her to either think of or verbalize

8

a question. Your angels and guides can hear your thoughts, so you needn't voice your queries aloud.

Step 4: Shuffle the Cards

Think of the question as you shuffle the cards, and ask the angels to help you with answers and guidance. If one or more cards "jump” out of the deck while you're shuf­fling, place them to the side. They'll be part of your reading.

As you're shuffling, you'll likely notice feelings, thoughts, words, or visions. This Divine guidance will help you further under­stand the cards you draw, so pay attention to these impressions as they come to you.

When your cards begin to clump into two distinct sections, it's time to stop shuffling. You may also receive a feeling, thought, or vision to cease—or you may even hear the words Stop shuffling now. Trust and honor these Divine messages that are helping you with the reading. You can't make a mistake and stop shuffling too soon,

9

as the Law of Attraction ensures that you'll always choose the correct cards.

Step 5: Choose a Card

Pull the top card from the deck. This is the answer to your question, or guidance about which healing steps to take to help you with the issue you've inquired about. As you read the words on the card, continue to notice any thoughts, additional words, feel­ings, or visions that come to you, as these are messages from your angels and guides that personalize the card's particular mean­ing for you. The picture also holds signifi­cance, so be sure to study its details. If you set aside a card (or cards) that "jumped" out of the deck while you were shuffling, care­fully examine it, too.

Step 6: Consult This Guidebook

Turn to the corresponding page for the drawn card within this guidebook. The infor­mation there will give you specific guidance to help walk you through any life changes or

10

to take appropriate action. As you read the words, notice any thoughts or feelings that come to you, as once again, they're a person­alized part of the answer.

Three-Card Spread

After completing Steps 3 and 4, pick three cards from the top of the deck. With the pictures and words facing up, lay the first card to your left, the second one in the middle, and the third to the right.

The card to your left speaks about the immediate past with respect to the situation you inquired about. The middle card reveals your question's current status and what you need to know or work on right now. And the card to the right shows your immedi­ate future if you continue on your present path and follow the guidance in the middle card. You can always improve your future by holding a positive outlook and following your inner guidance.

11

12

The Celtic Cross

The most popular spread for tarot cards is called the Celtic Cross, and it can be used to answer questions about any topic. This spread of ten cards reveals the basis of your situation, the challenge, the past, the present, the near future, and the likely outcome.

After completing Steps 3 and 4 de­scribed previously, lay out ten cards faceup in the order shown in the diagram.

• Card 1 represents the situation.
• Card 2 represents the current chal­lenge affecting the issue.
• Card 3 represents the basis of the situation.
• Card 4 represents the past relevant to the situation.
• Card 5 represents the present.
• Card 6 represents the near future.
• Card 7 represents your power in the situation.

13

• Card 8 represents the effects of people around you.
• Card 9 represents your hopes or fears.
• Card 10 represents the outcome.

In the next section of this guidebook, you'll find meanings for each card. Remem­ber that you have freewill choices about all areas of your life, and you can also change the outcome of any situation through prayer, visualization, and positive affirma­tions. God and your angels can help alter your future for the better if you'll just ask for, and be open to, their assistance.

14

THE MEANINGS of THE CARDS

This guidebook explains the general meanings for every card in the Archangel Power Tarot Cards deck. As is traditional for tarot, the Major Arcana cards are listed first numerically, followed by the unnumbered Minor Arcana cards, which are listed Ace through King by suit.

When you're ready to look up a card's meaning, find the corresponding page and read the interpretation and symbolism for the entry. Your inner wisdom will tell you if any of the information applies to you, or it may trigger further insights about your situ­ation. And remember that your intuition will offer you even more personalized mes­sages from your angels and guides, so as you read, simultaneously pay attention to your thoughts and feelings.

IS

THE MAJOR ARCANA

The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that describe significant events and turning points in our lives. The Major Arcana cards can also represent the different phases from childhood to old age. Each card is num­bered, as is traditional in tarot.

19

You have the magical touch of angels on your side! New projects that you start will be very successful. You have all the resources you need, even if you can't see them at this time. You may be underestimating the skill and knowledge that you’ve accumulated. You're prepared for this moment in your life, and the road ahead is safe and sure.

20

With Archangel Raziel beside you, ad­ditional assistance in the form of guidance, supportive people, or a windfall of abun­dance will seem to magically appear. Any­thing is possible! However, to receive this help, you have to confidently take action. You must move forward with your plans in a way that displays to others (and to yourself) that you have no doubt as to your coming success!

What wish are you try­ing to make come true? Ask Archangel Raziel for assistance when you need resources of any kind to facilitate what you're trying to create.

21

The high Priestess

The answers you seek are within you! They cannot be found through the intel­lect, but instead are a product of your deep­est feelings. Emotional situations provide great insight right now. Intuition and psy­chic messages should be treated seriously and with great respect, as they can be relied upon with confidence. Your dreams at night

22

may also hold keys to understanding what actions to take next.

There may be aspects of your situation that you're unaware of, but Archangel Haniel can provide you with the enlightenment and answers you're searching for! This is not a time of action, but of reflection and meditation. Have faith that events will unfold perfectly and that you will know when to move for­ward. Remain patient and be at peace know­ing that your inner guidance will not fail you.

Additional meanings of this card: The power of the subconscious. The willingness to forgive. Spiritual awakening. Patience. The mystery and awe of the Universe. Keep­ing the confidences of others.

Haniel is a beautiful and mystical arch­angel who can help you understand the myster­ies of life.

Haniel helps those who have embarked on an inner search for meaning and answers in their lives. She is a loving and wise spiritual guide who can assist you in devel­oping your intuition and psychic abilities.

23

The Empress

Archangel Gabriel brings you this card to encourage you to create! Your artistic talents, alongside your nurturing instincts, give you the ability to manifest beautiful and amazing works. Think of this card as representing Mother Nature, the empress of creativity! Your plans will flourish and grow so long as you give them your devoted at­tention and love. If your focus is upon fam­ily matters such as relationships, children,

24

or pregnancy, you can be assured of happy outcomes. Likewise, your career endeavors will also prove successful.

Your interest in beautiful, luxurious, or artful pursuits is well rewarded at this time. Concerns regarding physical or emotional well-being fade away. While your ability to nurture others is wonderful, don't forget to also lovingly care for yourself!

Additional meanings of this card: Time to move forward! Prosperity. A gift with growing plants and gardens. Mother­hood. Determination to get things done.

Gabriel is the patron angel for those in the creative arts. Whether it's music, poetry, or other artistic endeavors, this archangel can help in­spire your work to new heights.

Call upon Archangel Gabriel for whatever proj­ect you're attempting to give birth to.

25

THE EMPEROR AitiunftU l.iM

The Emperor

Leadership can change everything! This card may mean that it's time for you to be a leader to those around you. Or it might indicate that you would greatly benefit from the counsel of a skilled mentor who can give you invaluable advice. Archangel Uriel can provide you with brilliant new ideas on how best to be a success.

26

Creativity is a wonderful thing, but without logic, it can be chaos. What you need right now is a little organization and order. A few guidelines or rules will help bring your dreams to life in the most effi­cient and elegant way possible. This is not meant to limit you, but to help you feel empowered and in control of the direction your plans are taking you.

Additional meanings of this card: An encouraging and diplomatic leader. Ambi­tious plans. Stability. A promotion. Protec­tion. Authority figures. Paternal role models.

Archangel Uriel is the angel of great ideas and epiphanies! His name means “the light of God," and truly, he can help light your way to success. When you can't quite see your way clear to the next step, he is able to give you moments of revelation that seem to come out of nowhere. Ask Archangel Uriel for assistance whenever you have a project or challenge where a creative solu­tion is called for.

27

Divine Guidance

There is no need to be alone! There are amazing people around you from whom you would gain great strength and support. Seek out those who are like-minded and who share your beliefs and ideals. Make new friends who would benefit from your in­sights and affection. Take a class on spiritu­ality, or join an organization that aims to do good in the world. Archangel Sandalphon

28

can help you find the meaning you're seek­ing in your life.

Be open to other people's ideas and perspectives, but don't be bound by them. If you're taking a very traditional approach to your challenges, and things just don't seem to be moving forward, then it might be time to think outside the box! On the other hand, if your attempts to be creative are merely reinventing the wheel, perhaps the old-fashioned way would be better.

Additional meanings of this card: "Walking your talk." Universities. Resistance to change. Spiritual seeking. Divine wisdom.

Archangel Sandalphon is the angel who watches over the accumulation of metaphysical and spiritual knowledge. If you're seeking to en­rich your inner world, he can help you find oth­ers who are similarly inclined and also searching. Archangel Sandalphon is known for delivering prayers from Earth to heaven. Call upon him to help when you feel your prayers need an extra boost.

29

The lovers

This card encourages you to follow your heart! Deep-felt emotions are likely to be ex­perienced as a key relationship enters your life. This could be a romantic partnership that leads to marriage, or someone you feel a very close but platonic connection with. Ei­ther way, this is an individual you can trust completely, and the relationship is likely to be life changing in a very positive way.

30

Archangel Raphael can help you manifest the soul-mate relationship or deep friend­ship that you desire.

This card can also indicate an extremely important choice that needs to be made. This decision should be made from the heart, with absolute devotion to the out­come and without reservation. If there is any question in your mind as to how to pro­ceed, then you must take time to weigh the matter and choose carefully.

Additional meanings of this card: The power of love. The need for careful delib­eration. A fork in the road. Recovery from a physical ailment.

Archangel Raphael is the angel who watch­es over those who are seeking a soul mate. Whether the desired relationship is romantic, a close friendship, or even career based, Raphael can help you make the perfect connection. He is also known as the angel who protects our physi­cal health. Call upon him when you or someone you know isn't feeling well and needs healing.

31

The Chariot

The Chariot is an indicator of great de­termination and willpower! You may feel uncertainty regarding your situation, but you need have no fear. When this card is present, it's your confirmation from Arch­angel Metatron that you have what it takes. Step out of your comfort zone and charge bravely ahead with joy and confidence!

32

A great leap forward is coming your way. It will take balance, self-control, and hard work, but you're ready for the task at hand. Public recognition for your success is sure to come. Allow yourself to feel pride in what you accomplish!

Additional meanings of this card: Ca­reer advancement. Diligence. Calm control over equally important but conflicting goals.

Archangel Metatron oversees the Merkaba, or "Metatron's Cube." This magical creation is also called the "chariot of God" and is displayed on the front of the chariot depicted on this card. Focus on the image of the Merkaba and then call upon Metatron when you have a desire you wish to see come to fruition. He can help you manifest a successfid result in record time!

33

JUSTICE

The angels sent you this card as assur­ance that the right decision will be made! Court cases, settlements, or other issues de­cided by third parties will be ruled in your favor. Where situations had previously be­come unfair, Archangel Raguel can help re­store balance between the people involved, and you will soon be able to put this chal­lenge behind you.

34

This card also brings a message of em­powerment that the situation you find yourself in was partially created by previ­ous choices you made—and therefore, new choices can bring about new results, if you desire! It is very important to make fair and carefully measured decisions at this time. Kindness and justice must always be extend­ed toward everyone involved.

Additional meanings of this card: Seek equality. Set aside emotion. Do the logical thing. Review legal papers carefully.

Archangel Raguel is the angel to call upon whenever you find yourself in a challenging situation with someone else. He can soften the energy between two people (or even groups) so that a peacefid and harmonious resolution can be found.

35

^9^ EPIPHANY Afdianipi Rm>»

EPIPHANY

This card signals that you're on a quest to discover your true self! Meditation and quiet time provide great insight into the nature of your own heart and your life pur­pose. This is not a time of loneliness, but of inner joy and exploring your Divine light within.

You may find a mentor who magically shows up at the right moment. It could also

36

be that it's time for you to share your own spiritual journey with others who are seek­ing a mentor. Archangel Raziel holds up his lantern of enlightenment to welcome you to the starry mountaintop where self-discovery awaits.

Additional meanings of this card: Consider life's mysteries. Spend quiet time alone. Be a light to others. Heed your own counsel. Wise advice is coming your way.

Archangel Raziel watches over spiritual teachers and students who are looking for in­sight or to tap into their own inner knowledge. You can call upon him to assist you in under­standing complicated metaphysical concepts. If you're finding it difficult to meditate, ask Arch­angel Raziel to help quiet your mind, and allow your angels and guides to bring you the spiritual insights you're seeking.

37

The Wheel

Exciting changes are coming! The Wheel spins with the power of life and turns to bring you prosperous new opportunities. If you've been finding it difficult to get your plans off the ground, that will change now! Sudden movement forward is likely.

While the idea of change can some­times be worrying to people, you must trust and know that the Universe wants you to

38

be happy. Unexpected events are meant to point you in a direction that will bring you a more joyful and fulfilling life. If you feel un­certain, ask Archangel Jeremiel to give you a clear understanding of where you're headed.

Additional meanings of this card: A fresh start. Optimism for the future. Ability to adapt.

Archangel Jeremiel is the angel who can help us see our lives clearly so that we can make assessments about changing circumstances. His name means "mercy of God," and he as­sists those wanting to review their pasts in a kind and forgiving way. Archangel Jeremiel has the ability to inspire great visions of the future. Call upon him to help when you're seeking in­spiration on how to successfully make amazing changes in your life.

39

 

Strength

You have great strength and compas­sion! The kindness and understanding that you give to others are a blessed gift. Howev­er, it is equally important to show gentleness toward yourself. You may see aspects within you that cause you worry or impatience. But every person is a child of God. It is by bal­ancing all aspects of yourself with love and

40

mercy that you learn to exhibit those same qualities to people around you.

You are far stronger than you may be­lieve. The situation you find yourself in re­quires a very soft and sensitive approach. Archangel Ariel can help you stay strong in the face of any challenge.

Additional meanings of this card: Self-confidence. Patience. Self-control. For­giveness. Inner strength. Influence through kindness.

Archangel Ariel is the angel known for pro­tecting animals, the environment, and those who seek to safeguard our world. Her name means "lioness of God," and she can inspire great courage in the hearts of those who call upon her. Archangel Ariel is also known to be an angel of manifesting the essentials of daily life. Call upon Ariel if you're feeling uncertain or experiencing a lack of confidence, and she will help you get in touch with your own inner strength.

41

Perspective

There is a better way! You've probably noticed that your past approach is no longer working for you. Archangel Chamuel asks that you pause what you're doing and look at things from a different perspective. While this time of reflection is temporary, it is also extremely important to your spiritual evolu­tion and growth.

42

This card can also indicate that your heart may be leading you to perform a self­less act of kindness for someone else. This form of compassion is always rewarded, and your angels will be standing by your side. Remember that you give the world your greatest gift by being your true, unique, eclectic self!

Additional meanings of this card: A pause for reflection. Time moving slowly. A change in priorities. Unconventional ideas. Daring to be different!

Archangel Chamuel is known for helping people find whatever it is that they are seeking. His name means "the eyes of God," and you can call upon him when you're trying to understand a situation from a different perspective.

43

Peace

The Peace card heralds a time of great transformation for you! It is a period of leav­ing behind the situations or experiences that no longer serve you. You've outgrown this phase of your life and are ready to move forward. The time has come for new ad­ventures that will enrich your purpose and allow you to evolve, like a caterpillar trans­forming into a butterfly.

44

Often when this card is drawn, the time of change was expected. It may come with a sense of great relief or perhaps feelings of sadness. Archangel Azrael opens his arms to you with love and compassion and will help you during this period of transition. Take time to experience any emotions you have with grace and self-love.

Additional meanings of this card: Em­brace the new dawn. Release the past. Let go and let God.

Archangel Azrael is a wonderful and ex­tremely elegant angel who helps those who are experiencing a loss. When you call upon Azrael, it is as though two big loving arms from heaven have wrapped around you, providing comfort and support. Solicit Archangel Azrael's aid when you need to let go of a situation or a part of your life that no longer serves you.

45

 

Solutions

Archangel Zadkiel is working with you to find the perfect balance! The key to suc­cess right now is in moderation and com­promise. If you're feeling stressed-out, this card counsels you to take a deep breath and ask your angels and guides for assistance. Self-control and patience are called for in or­der to create the successful outcome you're hoping for.

46

Consider the ideas of others, and try to see their point of view. Diversity of thought can bring forth the strongest possible course of action. Reconciliation of opposing view­points is very likely now if you approach all parties with a forgiving and fair attitude.

Additional meanings of this card: A balanced approach. Perfect orchestration. Creative solutions through compromise. Healing energy.

Archangel Zadkiel is the angel of memory. He can help you remember facts or aspects of situations that you may have forgotten. He is also the angel of forgiveness. Call upon Zad­kiel to help when you need to regain a balanced point of view regarding others or your own past experiences.

THE MINOR ARCANA

From here forward, the cards are un­numbered, since this is traditional in tarot. The Minor Arcana consists of four suits (Ga­briel, Raphael, Michael, and Ariel). There are 14 cards in each suit, from Ace to King, simi­lar to ordinary playing cards.

While the Major Arcana represents ma­jor life transitions, the Minor Arcana reflects the day-to-day aspects of our lives. The Minor Arcana's court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, and King) can represent either a sit­uation or a person during a reading. You'll see the words People and Situations listed in each court-card description. The first section describes personality traits to identify which individuals in your life the card represents.

63

Applicable situations or potential guidance is listed in the second section.

It is also important to remember that the genders of the court cards aren't meant to be read as a hard-and-fast rule. In honor of this, half of the pages and knights are female, and half are male. If you draw a card that happens to have a female on it, but the personality attributes sound to you like a male you know, then you should follow your guidance and interpret that card as referring to the male.

122

ACE OF MICHAEL

You've come up with a wonderful new idea! Insight that had previously eluded you shines upon a situation or problem. Now the way forward is clear to you, and you move full steam ahead. There is an oppor­tunity here to do things in an entirely new way. Give attention to the details in your plan of action, but also keep an eye on the big picture.

124

TWO OF MICHAEL

It will all feel better if you make a choice! You're struggling with a decision, ei­ther overanalyzing the situation or hoping it will just go away. Your heart is in conflict with your mind, so you're avoiding making a choice. This can be exhausting and cre­ate unnecessary stress. Trust your ability to make a wise and intuitively sound decision.

A solution is quite possible, but com­promise will be necessary. Search for middle

125

ground. Even a temporary fix will get things moving again.

Additional meanings of this card: Not listening to your inner wisdom. Spinning your wheels. Suppressing your emotions.

126

Three of Michael

FOUR OF MICHAEL

It's time to take a break! The situation you find yourself in will not benefit from more action on your part at this moment. Step back. Let it go.

The key to a success­ful solution is likely to arise from meditation or the unexpected epiphanies that come while on a quiet walk.

129

Are you getting enough sleep? If you've been ill, make sure you take all the time nec­essary for a full recovery.

Additional meanings of this card: Make time for yourself. Take a vacation. Pur­sue spiritual activities. Seek relief from stress.

130

Five of Michael

This situation doesn't serve you! Stop and reconsider if the actions you're plan­ning are worth your time and energy.

There is a lot of negative energy com­ing from the people involved in this situ­ation that doesn't match your vibration.

131

Additional meanings of this card: See­ing things objectively. Becoming more posi­tive. Relocation. Travel.

134

Seven of Michael

There is a better course of action avail­able to you! Ask yourself, What am I really trying to accomplish? Think about whether working alone on this project is a good idea.

Your angels want you to be a success in this endeavor and are giving you a "heads­up" with this card. There is probably more

135

going on here than meets the eye. Someone may have ulterior motives.

Additional meanings of this card: The need for caution. Poor timing. Running away.

136

Eight of Michael

You can be free! You may feel as though you're trapped in your situation, but that is an illusion! You have to look past your fears and open your eyes to the opportunities.

The Suit of Ariel

The previous three suits deal with aspects of our lives that are nonphysical such as our passions, emotions, and thoughts. The suit of Ariel, on the other hand, represents the material world. These cards deal with the daily part of living, including physical health, pursuing education and careers, and the planet on which we reside. For this suit, Archangel Ariel was chosen because of her magical powers of manifestation and her love of the world's animals and the environment.

153

TWO OF ARIEL

It's important to have balance! You may be working multiple jobs, or you have sev­eral projects going on at once. Reconsider your to-do list. Is it really necessary to ac­complish it all? The key to managing stress is to think of ways to make your situation more fun. Look at life in a playful way!

FOUR OF ARIEL

When you give, you also receive! First, this card is a reminder that financial gain and resources are to be shared. When pros­perity is held on to too tightly, it can make a person closed off and therefore block the connection to future abundance. If some­one has been blessed with great resources, this card can be a reminder to donate to charities and worthy causes. On the other extreme, it can indicate that someone has been too careless with money. There is a

158

need to review how money is spent or to get debt under control.

This card isn't just about money and fi­nances, but can also be about expenditures of energy and emotion. Don't let fear-based thoughts limit your actions. Be willing to share whatever talents and gifts you have with those around you.

Additional meanings of this card: Control issues. Saving for a rainy day. Hold­ing on to the present. Resisting change.

159

FIVE OF ARIEL

Help is nearby! You don't have to go through your current challenges alone. Ask your angels to make your options clear to you. There is no need to remain out in the cold emotionally or physically. If you're un­willing to accept help from others, ask your­self why. What is it that you feel is missing from your life? Is it material or something deeper, like spirituality or love?

Negative thoughts can create self-fulfilling prophecies that are totally unnecessary. Refocus

160

your thoughts on what is possible and this situ­ation will turn around.

Additional meanings of this card: Feeling unlucky. Money troubles. Health issues. Inadvisable plans or timing for self­employment.

161

Six of Ariel

There are great blessings in giving and receiving! Material needs get fulfilled in magical and unexpected ways. If you're the recipient of such a loving gift, then accept it with gratitude and humility. If you have the means to give to those in need, then do so in a compassionate way without asking for anything in return. Keep in mind that gifts do not always have to be financial but can be energetic or take the form of help based on experience.

162

When giving to others, consider what they truly need. Make gifts that don't pro­mote dependency, but rather that are well thought out and empower the recipients go­ing forward.

This is a good opportunity to pause and review how far you've come. Are things moving along as you'd planned? If not, what changes might you make in the fu­ture? If you're at the end of a project, don't

164

linger too long finishing it up. The next suc­cess awaits your attention.
