***Thank you all for your patience with the weekly reading today. Unfortunately we had some storms that knocked out our power and internet services today. Thankfully, the power is back on and we are fully operational on the internet again. I appreciate your understanding.***
What an interesting week we have ahead for us. Mercury goes into retrograde on Tuesday, August 30th, and we also have a new moon on Thursday, September 1st. That certainly is a lot of energy in the air. And while many associate Mercury in Retrograde with negative associations you can look at it as a time to work on your communication skills. Mercury in retrograde is typically a time when messages are skewed or go undelivered. Communication is often garbled or misunderstood as well, and electronics tend to not work quite as easily as they used to. Fear not though, we will all work our way through this together. Deep breaths when you start feeling the frustrations of it's affects. Know that you are not alone and work on choosing your words carefully, not harshly during this time. The new moon is always a good time for starting new things, and it can be very promising and energizing for you. Focus on manifesting positive aspects during this time.
Release
Work with Archangel Michael to let go of what no longer serves you or your purpose.
What a wonderful card to start the week out with by working on releasing anything that is not for your higher good. Now is a great time to start this process especially with the new moon coming up on Thursday, September 1st.
Archangel Michael sent this card for you for the beginning of the week as a response to your question about your divine life purpose. Perhaps you have an idea bout what it is but feel intimidated about moving forward. Or maybe you feel blocked with respect to understanding your life mission. These concerns have triggered Michael's assistance and the message he brings to you through this card.
Your higher self is completely aware of your Divine mission and is ready to move forward on that path. Your higher self is also tapped into the Universal flow of support available to you and your purpose. To reach your natural state, Michael will help you release anything that may be standing in your way, such as ego-base concerns or activities.
You can work on this by taking out a pad of paper and a pen. Breathe deeply and relax your muscles. Then at the top of the page , write:
"Archangel Michael, what do I need to release to be fully on my path and purpose?"
Jot down everything that comes to mind, including your thoughts, feelings, visions or words. The pen may even seem to write on its own which is safe and normal when connecting with Michael's loving energy. Make a note of everything your receive, even if you don't understand its meaning. Then take the paper and ceremoniously destroy it by burning it, immersing it in water, or burying it while simultaneously declaring:
"I now fully release anything that is not for my highest good."
Try to complete this project by Thursday's new moon.
Parents
The Divine truth is that your parents eternally love you to the best of their ability. The Angels are helping you heal from any pain associated with your mother and father.
The Angels chose this card for you as there may be some miscommunication with your parents on Wednesday or Thursday. This is most likely the direct result of Mercury in retrograde.
The Angels want you to know that your parents do love you, even if the conversation you had wasn't fulfilling for you. Remember that now is a time where communication can be very difficult.
This also might be a time where you are reflecting on your relationship with your parents and difficulties you may have had with them in the past.
The Angels ask you to keep in mind that everyone shows love in different ways-for example, some people show they care through actions, such as giving you things or trying to help you. Others express it through words they say or write.
The bond between parents can never be broken, no matter what. Even during times of anger, parents and children still love each other deep down. If you focus on this love, it grows even stronger and deeper. This love also helps everyone feel better and get along better. The divine truth is that your parents love you to the best of their ability.
Keep your focus on that love this week.
And if your parents have passed know they sent this card to you as a way of saying, "I love you."
To ask for help from the Angels on this situation, go to your quiet, private place and say aloud or silently:
"Guardian angels of myself and of my mother and father, I call upon you now. I ask for your healing blessings with my internal and external relationship with my parents. I'm willing to release emotional toxins associated with my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. I ask for peace right now."
Crown Chakra
Pay attention to your ideas, as they are messages of true Divine guidance sent in answer to your prayers.
The Angels are asking you to trust and follow the ideas you recently received this weekend, as they are the answers you are seeking for your current situation. They say that this weekend is a good time to time to do a little soul searching regarding this. You already know the truth and the best course of action to take. Trust this knowingness, and take appropriate action. The energy from the new moon will help you with these new ideas and messages.
When you honor your ideas, the Universe reciprocates by sending you additional support while you make healthy changes.
This card is also a message to clear the crown energy center (or chakra) which governs your ability to tap into the Universe's collective wisdom. Your crown chakra can become blocked if you dismiss your inner thoughts as wishful thinking or common knowledge.
Remember that all ingenious ideas begin as daydreams that turn into wonderful inventions.
When you get an opportunity this weekend sit quietly and say aloud or to yourself:
"Archangel Uriel, I call upon you now to clear and balance my crown chakra. I ask for your assistance in boosting my belief and faith in the ideas that come to me. Help me in responsibly following through with my Divinely guided ideas."
