No matter what god or higher power you believe in, we are all part of a collective consciousness, both in this world and the next. Whether your reading comes from tarot, angels or archetype cards we are delving into that collective consciousness. If you are present with a psychic or clairvoyant who has strong connections, you may be connected to individuals but more likely you will be communicating with part of this universal energy which connects us all. Much of the connection comes through our own energies and this is particularly true of online readings.
Upright Meanings: progress, healing, calmer waters, sorrow, travel overseas, lethargy, relief, moving forward, spirit guides, moving on, overcoming hardship, feeling deflated, harmony, escaping, calm after a storm, journey, things calming down, journeys, running away, stability, going on holiday, travelling, holding onto negativity

Very much an archetype that is welcomed by those developing their spiritual connections. This card may come as a collective energy or an individual. Ask for clarification on this. If you draw this archetype in reverse it often represents a block in our spiritual progress. Time and patience are necessary and a willingness to listen and wait. Try asking questions about things that are NOT related to your chosen path; this often awakens deeper connections.

We pray that those who teach spiritual truths have an open heart and are compassionate to those who seek guidance and development. We ask this angel to bless the seekers and the masters so we may realize that we are all one with the Source.
This angel teaches us the importance of faith and encourages us to retain our faith in the goodness of life, even when things are in flux and we are filled with uncertainties. It inspires us when we seek ideas and is constantly leading us to the realization that we are aspects of God’s love.
