The Lovers ~ Archangel Raphael

Your card today is drawn from the 'Archangel Tarot Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine.  Your card is one of the 22 major arcana cards in the deck, which typically describe major events and turning points in our lives. Doreen and Radleigh have aligned each of the major arcana cards with an Archangel in this tarot deck.  While some separate the major and minor arcana cards to work with this deck, I tend to leave the deck intact when I work with it.  Your card today is the #6 major arcana card ~ 'The Lovers', which is aligned with Archangel Raphael.  Doreen and Radleigh's message for the card is this:
"This card signals that a significant relationship is on your mind.  It may be romantic in nature or it may be an intimate but platonic friendship.  Communication is key right now, and it's important to develop trust within the relationship.  You can safely share your feelings with someone close to you.  It's also time to make an important decision about your life.  The conclusions you reach now greatly influence your future, so it's important to weigh your options carefully.  Make sure your choices are thoroughly considered and that you're able to act upon them."

My message for you today is this:
How interesting that this card dropped out of the deck for you with Valentine's Day, which happens to fall on the Full Moon this month, coming this Friday!  As explained earlier, the major arcana cards tend to deal with the 'big picture' aspects of our life, rather than the little details.  So, as we move into the upcoming Full Moon and Valentine's Day energy consider the important relationships in your life...particularly the first one that comes to mind.  This need not be a romantic relationship.  Archangel Raphael is known as the 'Angel of Healing' and he has stepped forward for you today to assist you with any issues within this relationship that you desire to heal or change for the better.  I have stated many times that Full Moon energy is excellent for releasement of that which no longer serves you.  Perhaps you carry forward an issue within your relationship that you wish to release in order to move forward in a positive way, and you are now ready to release that issue...implement the Full Moon energy, the loving and compassionate energy of Valentine's Day, and Archangel Raphael's support to assist you with this.  Archangel Raphael's aura is seen by many as emerald green in color, and a crystal that is said to carry his energy is Malachite.  You can call upon Archangel Raphael and then visualize his emerald green energy swirling around and encompassing the issue you desire assistance with.  You may also choose to carry or wear the crystal, Malachite, to assist you in invoking Archangel Raphael's support.  It is truly all about intention!  This is a powerful card for you!
Blessed be...
