It seems work will be calling our names the last Monday and Tuesday of the year under the Taurus Moon, but getting things completed now will give us a clear run into the new year ahead. The last day of this year and the first day of next year will shine under a Gemini Moon, and Mercury will join the party of planets in Capricorn on the first day of the year. With so much goat energy kicking the year off, we’re sure to experience a shift in stability, success, and consciousness for the entirety of 2026! We’ll have a Cancer full Moon on Saturday, which will add to the security-conscious plans we are making, and call for a two-week cycle of releasing anything that is holding us back or creating blocks to forward movement. Sunday’s Leo Moon insists we spend the day keeping the focus on ourselves for a change, renewing, regrouping, and reviving our dreams for the future!

7 Ways to Ask the Angels for Any Purpose, by Richard Webster

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

You're surrounded by angels who are willing to provide guidance or help whenever you need it. It's sad that so many people don't communicate with their invisible helpers and fail to experience the love, support, and companionship that they're ready to provide.

Your most important angel is your guardian angel, who provides guidance, comfort, and protection throughout your life. Even if you've never asked your guardian angel for help, it will have intervened at different times to keep you safe and protected. Of course, as you have free will, you can make decisions on your own, and your guardian angel won't intervene, unless you're putting yourself in danger, or are planning to do something that isn't in your highest good. No matter what mistakes you make (and we all make plenty of them), your guardian angel will remain loving, supportive, and nonjudgmental.

Your guardian angel will provide help whenever you need it, and may consult with other angels for assistance in your request. You can also speak directly to any of the angels whenever you need specific help. For instance, many people know that Raphael is the archangel of healing. You can call on Raphael for any purpose whatsoever, but as his main interest is healing; he's the perfect angel to call on when you need spiritual, emotional, mental, or physical healing. Michael is God's warrior angel and is the ideal angel to call on if you need help desperately. There are angels for almost any purpose you could think of, from overcoming addictions to eliminating worry. In An Angel for Anything, I included a list of angels who can help with 286 different needs.

There are many ways to invoke, or call upon, an angel. If you haven't communicated with your guardian angel yet, you'll benefit from experimenting with the seven techniques explained here to contact your guardian angel. Once you've done this once, you'll have no difficulty in contacting your angel whenever you wish. If you're already in regular communication, you can ask your guardian angel to contact a specific angel for you. Alternatively, you can use these methods to contact any angel you need.

1. Relaxation. All you need is a comfortable chair, at least twenty minutes of uninterrupted time, and a desire to communicate with a particular angel. You don't have to know this angel's name. Chamuel is an extremely busy angel, and one of his responsibilities is to help people suffering from loneliness. If you're feeling alone and need help, you can call on Chamuel. If you don't know Chamuel's name, you can ask to speak to an angel who helps people who are lonely.

Sit down quietly, close your eyes, and relax. Start by taking three slow, deep breaths, holding each breath for a few seconds before exhaling slowly. Once you've done this, forget about your breathing and allow a wave of relaxation to spread through you. Follow this by relaxing the toes on one of your feet. Once they feel relaxed, allow the relaxation to spread into your foot, and to then drift over your ankles and into your calf muscles and thigh muscles. Repeat this with your other leg. Allow the relaxation to drift into your abdomen, chest, and shoulders. Allow the relaxation to drift down one arm to the tips of your fingers, and then repeat this with your other arm. Allow the relaxation to spread into your neck and face, and to then drift up to the top of your head. Take as much time as you need to completely relax your body. There's no need to hurry. Once you're fully relaxed, focus on your breathing again and enjoy the pleasant, relaxed state you're in. Ask the angel you want to talk with to join you and wait until you sense the angel's presence. Your mind will drift away at times. This is normal. Whenever you notice that this has happened, dismiss the thought, and focus on your breathing again. Once you make contact with the angel, talk silently or out loud, and enjoy the conversation. This could happen the first time you try this, but it's more likely to occur after several sessions.

2. Dreams. Everyone dreams, though some people fail to remember them. Dreams help us evaluate and sort out what is happening in our lives, so we can function well when we're awake. Many people experience angels in their dreams from time to time, but these occur involuntarily. You're more likely to experience an angel in your dreams if you tell yourself before falling asleep that you want to communicate with a specific angel about a certain matter. You also need to tell yourself that you'll remember the dream when you wake up. Do this three to five times before drifting into sleep. Continue doing this every night, until you remember a dream that relates to your angel and your concern. Keep pen and paper, or some type of recording device, beside your bed so you can record everything that you remember before the dream fades.

3. Thoughts, feelings, and hunches. We all experience thoughts and feelings all the time, and hunches, or intuitions, are common, too. All of these can be used to communicate with the angelic realms. Whenever you have a spare moment in your everyday life, think about your need to speak with a particular angel. Let the thought go and carry on with your day. If you do this frequently, you'll start receiving replies from the angel you want to communicate with. You'll recognize these responses as thoughts or feelings that come from some other source, rather than from your subconscious mind.

4. Coincidences. We all experience coincidences, synchronicities, and serendipitous occurrences every now and again. Many people believe that such moments are caused by angels working on our behalf. Next time you experience one, pause for a few seconds, and then silently speak to your guardian angel, or any other angel you wish to communicate with. You can do this at other times, also. A friend of mine talks to her guardian angel every time she sees a feather.

5. Letters. Writing a letter to the angel you want to communicate with is a particularly good way to make angelic contact. You'll need to have a purpose in mind before writing the letter. The purpose might be as simple as wanting to establish contact with the particular angel. Write your letter as if you're writing to a good friend and include information about your family, work, hopes, and dreams. The act of writing forces you to clarify everything in your mind. Finish by thanking the angel for looking after you and attending to your needs. It doesn't matter if your letter is short or long, as long as you include everything you wish to say. You might be fortunate enough to hear from the angel while you're writing the letter. In this case, you can stop writing and start talking about everything that's on your mind. If that doesn't happen, you'll have to "mail" the letter. Place the letter inside an envelope and write the name of the angel you're sending it to on the front. If you don't know the angel's name, write, "To the angel who looks after (whatever your concern happens to be)." Sit down in front of a lit candle with the envelope held in your cupped hands. Think of the angel you're sending the letter to and express your thanks. When you've said everything you want to say, burn the envelope in the candle flame and watch the smoke carry your message to your angel. Collect the ashes and scatter them outdoors. Always keep a container of water nearby whenever you work with candles, in case of accident.

6. Prayer. Praying is another good way to contact angels. The Bible warns against worshipping angels, but that's not what this is about. All you need to do is to pray in your normal manner and during the course of the prayer ask for help in contacting the angel you wish to communicate with.

7. Angel numbers. Repeating numbers are often a sign of an angelic presence. It doesn't mean anything if you look at your watch and see the time is 11:11. However, if you see the same number repeating in a variety of ways over a short period of time, such as on a car's license plate, a house number, the length of a movie, or the page you've reached in a book, the chances are that it will be an angel number. This is a sign that angels are wanting to communicate with you. Angel numbers can be any combination of numbers. 3648 may well be an angel number if it occurs three or more times within a short period. They don't need to be repeating numbers such as 777 or 111. When you sense an angel number, sit down quietly as soon as you can, relax, and silently start talking to the angel.

There are many other ways to gain a connection with the angelic realms. If you're prepared to be patient, and are willing and open to angelic communication, it won't be long until you're conversing with any angel you need to speak with.

I've been suffering from night terrors for almost 10 years now. I've searched the web and most sites recommend visualizing white light or other processes that involve visualization. The problem is that visualizing anything is very difficult for me to do. Do you have any other options for me?

For my son, putting his shoes under the bed keeps most of his nightmares under control. It doesn't matter what kind of shoes they are; the important thing is that they were worn that day. He's been using this method since he was nine, and he's 34 now. Usually, that's enough.

Each pair is placed heel to heel, going in opposite directions. This is said to confuse the Night Mares that haunt us. This often works, but for some reason, it seems to be hard to remember.

For my Goddaughter, it took a St. Benedict medal under her mattress and a St. Michael's medal around her neck. St. Benedict is said to discourage anything violent or scary, and St. Michael will spread His wings across your bed to keep the uglies away.

Even if you're not of a faith that includes Michael as the most powerful Angel in heaven, you can still see that the Force is with Him. The Archangel Michael can be a powerful, protective Force for Peace and a peaceful night's sleep, too. He's the only Angel who is also considered a Saint, and he's great at eliminating negative vibes. I keep an old-fashioned prayer card of him by my front and back doors just to feel a little safer in this crazy world.

My last suggestion is a flint arrowhead in a half a glass of water. Drop a (clean and scrubbed) flint arrowhead into about half a glass of water, pray in your own way for pleasant dreams, remove the arrowhead and drink the water. The arrow will shoot the nightmare as it comes into your being, and you won't experience it anymore.

I think you'll discover that once you get into a habit of doing something to prevent these creatures from haunting you, the night terrors will begin to dissipate; they'll happen less and less because it's no fun for an entity to attack someone who is unafraid.

I know you'll find the right ritual to keep your night terrors from haunting you. Just realizing that you're safe and secure despite them is a huge step away from that darkness. Good luck and sweet dreams!

Susyn:

There are a number of ways to eliminate night terrors. Visualizing a protective field around you may only be effective until you fall asleep, so you'll want to add some protective measures that function throughout the night and don't require your conscious efforts anyway.

Turquoise and lapis lazuli stones are known for their protective energies. I recommend you place one or both under your pillow or on a nightstand as you sleep.

Salt is another powerful mineral for absorbing and eliminating forces that could cause night terrors. Place a few small packets of salt under your pillow in addition to the stones; little packs of salt from restaurants work well.

Once you've established a protective environment with these minerals, the next step is to record the night terrors. Often when we pay direct attention to such troubles, they begin to fade on their own.

Keep a tape recorder or pen and pad near your bed. Every time you're awakened by a nightmare, record the details you recall. Each time you do this, you will be confronting your fears and deciphering the messages trying to emerge from your subconscious. Then you can determine if the night terrors are originating from some past trauma or an entity or influence outside of yourself.

There are some other possibilities you may want to consider if you find the cause to be environmental. Some people get relief from night terrors by changing the position in which they sleep. If your bed is positioned north to south, realign it to run east and west.

Electromagnetic fields in the earth's core can sometimes generate disturbed sleep, so you may also want to purchase an electro-magnetic field tester to see if there are high EMF's being emitted from a ceiling fan, alarm clock, lamp or other electrical appliance in your bedroom.

If you still experience nightmares once you've investigated these possibilities, call in a metaphysical professional; a psychic or Spiritualist should be able to offer you additional remedies.

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.
