December 12 through December 18, 2022

Things flow pretty smoothly this week as we finalize plans for the holidays and map out a plan for completing anything that needs to be finished up before the end of the year. The Leo Moon will shine brightly on Monday and Tuesday, allowing us to immerse ourselves in heartfelt conversations and activities. Tending to those unfinished obligations is best done under Wednesday and Thursday's Virgo Moon, as it grounds and directs us in the most efficient ways to complete tasks before next week's holidays hit full swing. A Gemini Moon takes us through the rest of the week, as we focus on communication, correspondence, and clearing a path to immerse ourselves into the holidays ahead!

Your Heavenly Entourage: How to Connect with Your Everyday Angels, by Margaret Ann Limbo

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

You have an entourage of angels, or sometimes legions of angels, at your beck and call. It is as simple as having a thought, imagining the angels around you. Have faith that your heavenly helpers are on "on the job," so release stress and allow life to unfold. Angels respond to your thoughts and specific requests. These heavenly messengers are waiting for instructions. The telepathic assistance from the angelic realm is a very real and it can easily become a very real part of your life.

How do you talk to angels? How can you get them to assist you?
Talking with angels is easy. Simply imagine their energy standing or sitting near you as they listen to what you are feeling, fearing, and hoping. Use your imagination and activate your ability to make believe.

The angels are beings of light, each of them associated with a color or range of colors. Therefore, the use of gemstones are perfect reminders to maintain a focus on intended goals and aspirations because the gemstones also resonate with the color or ray of the angels and archangels, too. Teaming up the angelic world with crystals, minerals and stones, helps ground the connection I have with the angelic realm and will for you, too.

Summon your angelic assistance by using all six senses to increase your awareness and awakening consciousness. Use essential oils to honor your olfactory sense. To smell the essence of everyday angels surrounding you helps make the angels even more real and palpable. Combine the use of your intention and your imagination with spiritual tools like essential oils and gemstones as you focus on your goals and aspirations, all the while asking your everyday angels to be a part of your entourage to help you in your life.

Hold a gemstone and inhale an aroma to amplify the angelic interaction experience. Then, tell the angels how you would like their help and support. Be as clear and specific as possible, then consider adding this statement, "May this or something better become manifest reality."

How can the angels help you?
Go ahead. Assign a job to one of your angels. Decide what area of life you need help with. Identify the angel or angels you want to work with. Talk with your angels. You can call on:

• Angel of Abundance and Prosperity when you need help with manifesting plenty of everything.
• Angel of Balanced Emotions when you are challenged by rampant emotions and mood swings.
• Angel of Communication when you need help with expressing yourself, listening well, and being heard.
• Angel of Divine Timing when you need to notice the opportunities presented to you and then take action when that door is open.
• Angel of Forgiveness when you just can't seem to let go of feeling betrayed and hurt by someone.
• Angel of Gratitude when you need to take the time to be grateful for the many blessings in your life.
• Angel of Helpful People when you are ready to let others help you and you realized that you don’t always need to do everything by yourself.

There are so many more arenas of life and the angels can help you in each and every aspect of your life here on earth.

What does it mean to petition the angels?
Sometimes you can petition or send off your requests by writing it down as if you are writing a letter to your angel. Though it isn't necessary to put your prayer requests in writing, the act of writing the petition to a specific angel or group of angels often helps clarify.

For example, let's say you need help taking action and moving forward in life. Petition the Angel of Action to come to your aid with a request something like this:

Oh, Angel of Action! Please come here now to help me move forward and take action on something I need to accomplish. Help me see myself more clearly and understand what is preventing me from starting and/or completing the task or deed. This achievement may be a piece of the puzzle I need to live my life purpose. Help me take the necessary steps at this time in my life. Thank you!

When you are specific and delineate the actions needed to achieve a goal or state of being it makes the job of the angel easier because they know what you want from them. Written petitions are effectively created in letter format. The act of writing brings the request closer to manifest reality. Bring your request into manifest reality with your words and thoughts. Imagination is a key to working with the angelic realm. Then it all becomes real in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sense.

Manifesting is the active form of prayer. Ask the angels to co-create. Your everyday angels add a level of conscious awareness to your intention to align with the Divine—God. Then, the meditative experience adds another dimension to your alignment with the angelic realm. Meditation and inquiry are considered passive forms of prayer—to sit, to wait, to listen, and to grow. Take notes on the ideas that traverse through your consciousness.

What do colors, chakras, and gemstones have to do with calling on angels?
Everything is energy and all energy carries a vibration. This vibration resonates. Color is also resonating vibrationally. Each color carries a series of qualities or vibration as do chakras in our energy systems as well as gemstones. These energies have vibrational matches that are most often associated. For instance, the color red is related to action and vitality which is also associated with the root chakra and the gemstone garnet. Another example is citrine, a solar plexus gemstone, is helpful to improve self-confidence and integration of life events.

Angels respond to our thoughts and the vibrations we are broadcasting. Work with your chakras, colors, and gemstones in combination when you are petitioning a specific everyday angel. Let's say you want to improve the relationships in your life. Call on the Angel of Relationships to help you. Focus on your heart chakra, the colors green and pink, and the pink calcite and seraphinite. Add the aromas of citrus essential oils like grapefruit and orange to uplift and open your heart to give and receive love. As you inhales the fragrance, maintain your focus on your intentions and the reason why you chose the aroma.

Why do angels respond to scent and aromas?
Angels are actually responding to the thoughts and emotions you are experiencing while using scents and aromas. Angels will take action based on your specific requests for assistance. Inhale the essential oil or fragrance as you think about, visualize, and sort out how you will bring your desires into reality.

As an aromatherapist, I've come to realize through Divine inspiration that certain essential oils are aligned with specific results. For example, rosewood encourages loyal relationships, therefore, it pairs well when you call on the Angel of Relationships with the issue or request that needs attention. Inhale some orange essential oil to open your heart to receive love, nurturing, and comfort in your life from yourself and others. And, grapefruit essential oil can be helpful to develop a stronger sense of self, rid your emotional body of doubt and fear, and cultivate trust as you develop loving relationships.

Use a variety of scents and avoid prolonged use of the same essential oil. It's much more effective to switch it up for your health and well-being as well as to maintain continued focus on the imagined outcome.

Do archangels team up with the everyday angels?
Archangels are your level up enhancement to working with everyday angels. The everyday angels are the ones who help you fine-tune your focus on the issue or request at hand. The archangels are like calling in extra enforcements to ensure a positive result. Here are a few highlights on how archangels can team up with the everyday angels.

• Archangel Ariel helps to increase motivation, vitality, and vigor.
• Archangel Gabriel is a divine oracle who you can call on for inspired guidance.
• Archangel Haniel can help to improve your communication skills with animals and all nature.
• Archangel Jophiel inspires you to cultivate good relations with your partner, an abundance of beauty all around you, to help you relax and see the beauty in life.
• Archangel Metatron to motivate you to take positive action to understand your soul's purpose, to foresee potential future realities, and activate the connection with higher consciousness and your soul's evolution.
• Archangel Muriel stabilizes and fixes your attention on the vibration of safety and allows you to resolve problems and uncover truths.
• Archangel Zadkiel helps you to amplify kindness, mercy, altruism, and thoughtfulness in yourself and those around you.

Use all the tools if you wish. It's most important that you are remember to clearly request assistance and your heavenly entourage will be at your side guiding you. Believe yourself when you receive flashes of intuition or ideas. Take action on them. The best that can happen is that Divinely-inspired ideas that your realize manifest for the good of all. The worst that can happen is that nothing happens. Then you just try again until everything unfolds with ease and grace. Let the angelic realm partner with you through life. Walk around as if you have a gathering of angels surrounding you who are lighting your path. Notice how the doors open, the joy unfolds, and peaceful existence prevails.

My ex-boyfriend/best friend died three years ago. I've been in love with my current boyfriend for over four years. Two weeks before my ex passed, he told me that he still loved me and would wait until my current relationship ended. He died in October, 2009. Ever since then, every October I dream about him watching me from a distance. Sometimes the dreams are okay; other times they are uncomfortable encounters. Here's the really strange part: every year around October, my current boyfriend suddenly starts feeling stressed and doubtful about us and wants to leave me, but he always comes back to me begging in December. Do you think my ex is haunting my dreams and hurting my relationship with the man I love, or is it all in my head?

Susyn:

What you are experiencing is real and not in your head. Life has a way of unfolding in cycles; the fact that you have noticed these situations repeating themselves at certain times of the year is no coincidence. October is the time of your best friend's passing and also the time of year you dream about him and experience trouble with your boyfriend, so it is clearly playing a key role in these events. Astrologically, October is also the time when the Sun travels through Libra, the sign of the zodiac that rules relationships.

It is common to relive certain events in the month they occurred each year. Your friend's passing must have touched you to the core, especially after he had revealed his true feelings. While his spirit may watch over you constantly, it would be natural for you to be more sensitive to and aware of him in October.

This could be triggering certain behaviors and energies around you that then affect your boyfriend. We are all highly sensitive to changes in our loved ones, and are subconsciously aware of them even when they aren't obvious. I would not say that your friend is deliberately harming your relationship. Instead, it's likely that YOU are different in October because of these memories, and your boyfriend is reacting to the change in you. When he breaks up with you every October, he is reacting to you feeling different to him, though he is probably not consciously aware of that.

While your friend is indeed infiltrating your dreams, it's not to haunt you so much as to remind you that he continues to be around. Writing these dreams out in detail could reveal if there is unfinished business between you or if he is trying to send you a specific message. Putting these dreams down on paper could eliminate some of the stress that is contributing to the turmoil in your current relationship.

I recommend that you visit a psychic who can channel your departed friend. During the reading, you can ask him directly to step back and allow you more space. Tell him that his visits are interfering with your relationship and ask him to stop.

Remember that you can limit the influence your friend's spirit has over this situation simply by asking him to let go. He may not realize he has passed over (this happens more often than we realize), so not only is he keeping you from moving forward, he is stuck himself. While you'll always share a spiritual connection, you can do so without interfering in each other's journeys if you ask the psychic who channels for you to help him cross over into the light.

I think this is in your head. That being said, heads can be very powerful! What your ex said to you and when he said it instilled a lot of guilt that has been messing with your mind ever since! I hope to help clear your head and ease your mind, which should lead to an improved relationship with your boyfriend. His annual withdrawal is a reflection of your own struggle with the relationship when guilt-laden memories of your ex surface in October.

You're carrying excessive, unnecessary guilt towards your ex, which is preventing you from fully claiming and enjoying your new relationship. You probably felt guilty for the entire year that you had a happy new relationship while your ex did not. Your ex must have been good at guilt-tripping, for you felt compelled to offer him the consolation prize of best friend, which is a role your new boyfriend deserved to take over.

Your reticence to fully commit to your new relationship because of guilt has caused your current boyfriend stress and doubt. I'm not saying he doesn't have issues of his own, but you can only address your side of the street, and most of the time, that's enough! Your steadfastness in the relationship will help calm whatever inner fears he's contending with.

It is very common for people to refrain from diving in and celebrating a new relationship when their exes, dear friends or family members are unhappily single. You can overcome your tendency to hold back from bliss through counseling aimed at bolstering your self-esteem and self-worth.

It's time to face the fact that what your ex-boyfriend/best friend said to you was NOT very nice. When exes say they still love us and will wait, it's not loving. Not only is such a statement disrespectful of the relationship we're currently in, but it's an attempt to lay a guilt trip on us. Instead of telling you how happy he was for you, he declared he would put off his own happiness until YOUR relationship ended. That was a manipulative, self-centered tactic and a passive-aggressive prediction that your current relationship would end.

Not only THAT, the timing of his disclosure practically made it a deathbed revelation, which would tend to have a big impact on you. Your dreams of your ex are uncomfortable encounters because your inner wisdom KNOWS he was behaving selfishly; you just haven't wanted to face that fact. I suggest you do not join your ex in sabotaging your current relationship; rather, release him with love and at the same time fully commit to your current boyfriend and REAL best friend!

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
