December 8 through December 14, 2025

A fairly calm week awaits, with only one hardly noticeable astrological shift when Neptune turns direct on Wednesday. Because of its proximity to Earth and its slow orbit, it’s practically a non-event. However, over the coming weeks, we will start to notice a more vibrant energy around us as we move toward more soulful and fulfilling activities and connections, so stay tuned! For those of us who celebrate the holidays, there will be a shift in focus toward upcoming events, and under the Leo Moon, we’ll start to gear up and take direct action for the celebrations afoot. The Virgo Moon will give us a bit of a pause on Wednesday and Thursday, as we stop to attend to financial or health problems that need to be rebalanced before the year ends. The rest of the week is also about balance as we’re under the influence of a Libra Moon Friday through Sunday. During this cycle, we’ll be inspired to restore order or update our living quarters, renew those friendships we address once a year (through phone calls or Holiday cards), and seek out a more balanced daily schedule to get us through to the end of the year.

Healing and Miracles with the Archangels and Saints, by Margaret Ann Lembo

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

Powerful blessings are available to everyone with some help from archangels and saints. Growing up in a Roman Catholic household of Italian descent, I developed a deeply personal connection with Divine beings at a young age. Conversing and praying to my guardian angel and specific saints was not just a norm but a personal relationship I cherished.

Divine beings offer us an abundance of assistance. Even after their earthly journey ends, the saints continue to guide us from the Other Side. Their mission is to aid people and manifest miracles as a beacon of hope in times of adversity. There is a saint or archangel for almost every situation. Archangels are spiritual messengers of God, radiating a high vibration. We enable them to fulfill their divine purpose by invoking their energy for specific purposes, providing us with support and hope.

You Have to Ask for Their Help
Archangels and saints are eager to assist, but it's crucial to remember to ask for their help. For me, prayer is simply a conversation with the angel or saint. The first step is to identify which archangel or saint is associated with the type of situation you are facing. By taking this proactive step, we can empower ourselves with their assistance. Use positive affirmations, essential oils, and gemstones to amplify your request for help. It makes the interaction with the saints and archangels more palpable.

Natural Disasters
Natural disasters are always happening somewhere in the world. If you are affected by storms like earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, or fires, Archangel Uriel can help. Uriel is the archangel who told Noah the flood was coming. Living in South Florida, where we are prone to hurricanes and, more recently, tornadoes, Archangel Uriel is my go-to archangel for storm protection. Inhale essential oils to amplify prayers and the connection with Uriel. Use amber, cedarwood, frankincense, and orange. Add a few drops to a diffuser and hold good thoughts to keep you safe and blessed.

Archangel Thuriel and Saint Christopher can also be called upon for safety during storms. Archangel Thuriel, the guardian of animals and nature, is an excellent guide to help you integrate the interconnectedness of all life. Saint Christopher was depicted as a giant. His height was beneficial because he helped people by carrying them across the river. He is great to ask for safety while traveling and if flooding is expected in your area. Ask him to take you to safety. Saint Barbara is associated with lightning and fire. Ask her, "Oh! Saint Barbara! Protect me from storms and intense weather conditions. Keep me safe from lightning." Say it in your own words to communicate and invoke the aid of these Divine beings.

Physical Healing, Plagues, and Pandemics
Archangel Raphael is well-known as the archangel to call on when you need guidance on healing yourself and others. Ask Archangel Raphael to orchestrate the healthcare practitioners and the most helpful people to be part of your life during the healing process. Surround yourself with the emerald green ray with an emerald gemstone to support healing on all levels—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Wear any green gemstone bracelet, pendant, or ring to amplify your request for assistance. Using gemstones keeps you mindful and focused on your intention. Repeat an affirmation like, I take time to rest and rejuvenate. I am grateful for my good health.

Plagues and pandemics are specialties of some Divine helpers. Saint Gertrude, the Cat Lady of the Catholic Church, interceded during the bubonic plague by warding off rats. Hold onto some leopardskin jasper to ground your petition to Gertrude, saying, "I am safe from harm on all levels." Saint Rocco is known for healing plague victims by working with them in the hospital. Rocco is associated with dogs because a dog helped him heal himself from the plague he picked up from interactions with the sick. Call on Saint Rocco to protect you from contagious diseases while inhaling essential oils like eucalyptus, ravensara, and tea tree, saying something like, "Oh! Saint Rocco. Protect me from catching infectious diseases."

Padre Pio is the one to call on for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Ask him to support you when you experience health challenges that lead you to believe you are cursed. This Italian Franciscan Capuchin Friar and priest had many experiences of diabolical torture and, because of his experiences, was proficient at expelling demons. Exclaim, "Be gone!" to release curses and evil. Tap into the part of yourself that is a miracle worker and trust your personal power. Repeat this powerful affirmation: "I am a miracle worker. I quickly transform and transmute negative energy."

Family Matters
Do you need help with family matters? If your in-laws or siblings challenge you, ask Saint Elisabeth Ann Seton to help you out with healing issues between you. She is a patron saint of families, in-laws, widows, and widowers. Call on her to help with childbirth and grief due to the loss of family members. Saint Elisabeth Ann Seton was the first native-born America officially made a saint (in 1975). Many miracles are attributed to this saint through petitions and prayers for help. You can also ask Archangel Gabriel to help with the grief associated with family losses.

Saint Anne is the mother of Mother Mary and the grandmother of Jesus. She conceived Mother Mary at an old age, and is an excellent saint to ask for help with fertility and producing offspring. Saint Anne supports you when you are ready to start a family and have a child. On a personal note, I grew up with a connection to Saint Anne. My mother's devotion to the faith inspires me to this day. Two of my aunts prayed to Saint Anne, asking her to bring my husband and give me a happy family life. Saint Anne is often depicted as a seated woman with a book upon her lap and the child Mary leaning against her as she taught her. I have had this statue since childhood.

On a side note, while I was working on writing The Essential Guide to Archangels and Saints, I came across my mother's cookie tins filled with holy medals, scapulars, and prayer cards. I thought this find signaled that I was receiving further support from Mom from the Other Side as I wrote the book. (The scapular, derived from the word meaning "shoulder blade," is a garment designed by monks during the Middle Ages. It is considered a protective covering and shows devotion to Our Lady.)

Love and Friendship
Call on Archangels Chamuel and Jophiel to help you with relationships. Both archangels partner with the Angel of Discernment, the Angel of Helpful People, and the Angel of Unconditional Love to support you in all types of relationships. These everyday angels and many others are watching over you and helping you upon request. Everyday angels are always available to guide you to have a much happier, more fulfilling, and more spiritual life.

Archangel Chamuel works towards world peace and guides you to heal past and present relationship issues. Ask Chamuel to help you release resentment, open your heart to unconditional love, and attract the perfect relationships. Call on Archangel Jophiel to be by your side to help you cultivate a regular gratitude practice and observe the beauty and blessings around you. These two archangels team up to guide you through relationship issues requiring compassion and kindness and focus on the heart chakra.

Heart chakra crystals add a sense of comfort and amplify intentions, petitions, and mindfulness. Green and pink stones encourage happiness and harmony between you and your companions. Gems like chrysoprase, green calcite, pink calcite, pink tourmaline, unakite, and ruby in zoisite, to name just a few, are allied to support your journey with relationships. Work with these gems to amplify your request to your Divine helpers regarding friendship and love.

Money and Abundance
Aligning with saints and archangels for everyday situations is a gift and adds a spiritual vibration to the mundane. Engaging in illuminating activities like meditation, contemplation, and reflection allows for enlightenment and blessings. Archangel Barachiel is the archangel with whom you can partner when you want to attract blessings, prosperity, and happiness to your daily experience. This angel encourages fun and laughter, so lighten up your spiritual practice by calling on Barachiel.

Speaking of joyful energy, jolly old Saint Nick, Saint Nicholas of Bari, was a wonderworker and brought many miracles into the lives of those around him. This saint is known as Santa Claus because of his generosity and gift-giving. Connect with some vibrationally matching crystals for Saint Nicholas, like citrine, green aventurine, jade, pyrite, and ruby. These gems bring the vibes of abundance and philanthropy.

Protection and Safety
Archangel Michael is the first angel for defense when I need strong protection. Michael is often portrayed with a sword, shield, and the scales of justice. Archangel Michael aligns with the cobalt or deep blue ray. Use stones like lapis lazuli, sapphire, and sodalite when invoking his aid. Based on my experience over the years, Archangel Michael is a favorite archangel of many people. He is considered the leader of the archangels. Call on Michael for protection and to remove fears and phobias.

Archangel Jehudiel is usually depicted with a crown, a reward for hard work, and a whip, symbolizing responsibility with power. Jehudiel will keep you and your home safe. Call on Jehudiel to remove perceived or imposed blocks in your life. Ask this archangel to protect you so you can do what you are meant to do. Wear or carry charoite when connecting with Jehudiel, as chaos is turned into order and well-being.

With her cloak and special fire, Saint Brigid provides healing and protection. There is a tradition of carrying a Saint Benedict medal to protect from curses and diseases. Saint Benedict and Padre Pio are known to exorcise evil spirits or malevolent wishes. Envision a shield of shimmering white light around you. Allow it to deflect anything not for your highest good while amplifying blessings and well-being with these saints and archangels on your team.

Inhale essential oils to specifically amplify your petitions for protection. Clove oil protects from ill wishes and negative energy from your thought patterns. It helps deflect jealousy from others.

Repeat positive thoughts like these: "I am protected from negative influences. I am mindful of the energetic connections between others and myself. I automatically remove unhealthy cords of attachment that affect me mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Challenging situations are transformed, and the good is revealed. I am always Divinely protected."

Invoke Your Heavenly Helpers
Allow these spiritual beings to help you. Invite them to assist and give the archangels and saints permission to intervene on your behalf. Let them co-orchestrate your life. You can live a charmed life with Heavenly Helpers by your side.

Pray. Pray for yourself. Pray for your loved ones. Pray for those you don't know. Implore. Invoke. Meditate. Contemplate. Have faith. May the saints and angels light your path!

About ten years ago, my son and I saw an orb in our home. It was smaller than a tennis ball and looked like liquid smoke with swirling marble rainbow colours inside it. It had a vapourous, smoking, trailing tail. It was just floating by as easy as a surfer riding a wave. It floated by just under the ceiling. It felt like it was just minding its own business, saying, How's it going, just passing through. I'm looking to find out what this could have been. Also, could I call it to help me in order to find other answers? Thank you.

Susyn:

Orbs are fascinating. While some can be seen by the naked eye, most are only discovered when they show up in photographs. Digital cameras are effective at capturing these images, so if you haven't seen this orb in ten years, you may want to take a few pictures of the ceiling where you first spotted it. You may also want to photograph your son in this same area to see if it's still around.

Rainbow orbs are often representative of loved ones who have died. If you suffered the loss of a loved one around this time, it's possible that this orb was a sign from them to let you know they were all right. If you had other experiences that related to this specific loved one at the time, you can consider this just one of many signs they were sending your way. You may have been able to interact with the orb at the time, but because so many years have passed, that is probably no longer an option.

This lighted orb could also represent a spirit guide or angel who took this form to catch your attention. It may not have had any specific message for you other than a signal that they were near. The most telling indicator of the nature of such a being is how you respond to it emotionally. You were not frightened or concerned, and got the impression that this orb carried an easy-going, just-passing-through energy.

Orbs are not always spirits of people we have known; they can be random entities who happen into your home. While there are orbs of a playful nature, some can be annoying, for they embody sprites or tiny entities that have chosen to invade your home. As it doesn't sound like this is what happened in your case, I see no reason for concern.

Because you have not seen this orb for over ten years, it's unlikely that you can call on it to return or help you with other questions you may have. Even if additional orbs show up in the photographs you take, unless there are many of them, you will not be able to call upon them for spiritual help or direction.

However, since both you and your son were able to see this orb, it's clear that you have clairvoyant or psychic skills you can develop. With these gifts, you can connect directly with spirits to get further information. At some point, you may even be able to call in loved ones or spirit guides and access messages and spiritual guidance from them for yourself and others.

When a person has an experience like this, more are sure to follow. As you continue to reach for greater awareness and watch for future orbs or signs of spirit, your ability to perceive and communicate with these entities will grow stronger.

What a blessing to have witnessed this unusual phenomena with your son. Together you observed a rare atmospheric condition known as ball lightning, which usually occurs during a thunderstorm. Sharing an extraordinary event can be a bonding experience because it creates a shared memory the two of you can enjoy for a lifetime.

Some memorable shared events can be planned for. I just watched the solar eclipse of May 20 with loved ones through a homemade pinhole box. Other wondrous occurrences like ball lightning, a stunning rainbow or spectacular sunset can arise without notice.

Scientists have conflicting theories about why and how ball lightning forms, but these swirling orbs manifest in all sizes and colors. They often appear to leave a trail like the tail you described. Some fly by quickly while others mosey along at a slow pace, like your surfer riding a wave.

Although they are visually fascinating, it is important to avoid touching them just as you would avoid direct contact with any form of electricity. Some balls dissipate silently while others discharge with a boom like the thunder that accompanies traditional lightning.

You and your son can document and share your experience at the following website, which is an online forum dedicated to ball lightning stories. You might be surprised by the number of accounts that are similar to your own. For example, a passenger on a commercial jet saw a glowing sphere the size of a softball drift down the center aisle when the plane passed through a thunderstorm.

Some of the observed balls appear to be filled with smoke while others seem to contain tendrils of multi-colored lights. You can purchase a small plasma ball online, which resembles ball lightning and might serve as a fun reminder of your experience.

Since you asked about receiving answers from the orb, it seems you are hungry for guidance. It is sometimes easier to connect with our inner wisdom when we project it outside of us, where it can be reflected back to us. This is one reason people often find answers in tarot cards. A similar means of accessing inner truth is to focus on an object or mental image that holds meaning for you while asking it questions. It could be a blossoming flower, a flickering candle or the mesmerizing ball that sailed down your hallway.

Although this enchanting orb dissipated long ago, the image is still fresh in your mind, so I invite you meditate on that image and see if an answer takes shape for you.

Astrea:

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.
