Awakening

Your card today is drawn from the 'Angel Tarot Cards', authored by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine.  I did not separate the Major Arcana cards from the Minor Arcana cards within the deck...I left the deck completely in tact and the card that has come forward for you today is the Major Arcana card number 12, 'Awakening', which is aligned with the Archangel Gabriel (each of the 21 major arcana cards in this deck are aligned with one of the Archangels, and each major arcana card is numbered as in a traditional tarot deck.)
Doreen & Radleigh's message for you for this card is:
"Look at things from a different perspective.  A temporary standstill.  It's important to be yourself!"

My message for you today is this:
I see Archangel Gabriel as the angel of communication.  I feel her presence and support when I am teaching and I call upon her to assist me when I am doing a consultation for someone...I ask her to support me in being an effective and accurate conduit and to then facilitate my conveying the information clearly and concisely for my client.  Archangel Gabriel helps us to communicate from a heart-centered place of love...  Call upon her to assist you in all aspects of communication in your life!
The number 12, in 'Angel Numbers' means:
"Keep your thoughts positive about the future, as what you are thinking influences your future.  This is a message to keep your faith and hope strong, because these are strong determining factors right now."
So your message for today is to know that, even if it would appear circumstantially at this moment that you are not progressing forward in the situation within your life that first comes to mind for you today, it is vital to 'keep the faith' and understand that our physical perspective is not the 'all knowing perspective'.  Although it may seem that things are stagnant, there is a lot happening energetically!  Your BELIEF that all is moving forward as it should will absolutely influence that outcome!  Within all of this, stand strong in your AUTHENTIC self, meaning stay devoted to who you truly are, and do not bend or compromise what feels genuine and true for you.  Take this stance from an attitude of love for yourself and from a loving perspective for the situation and you are guaranteed to manifest the best possible outcome.  Archangel Gabriel is stepping forward to assist you...call upon her and trust that you are supported in being who you truly are; that your thoughts and perspective can influence the outcome; that we are not always fully aware of all the underlying energies at work, and so it may appear that things are stagnant at times; 
and that patience CAN be a virtue!  Relax, trust, allow, believe...
Blessed be...
