Angels are God's messengers and helpers. They bring thoughts of love from God and are sent to help us feel peace and joy. There are believed to be billions of angels who are simply waiting for us to ask for their assistance. Due to "The Law of Free Will," they cannot help us unless we ask (or if it's a life threatening situation and it's not our time). |

There are several versions of
angel cards available (e.g., Doreen Virtue offers

Astrology has been around for
1000's of years. It involves the study of (a) the
positions of the planets in relation to the Earth
and (b) how these positions correlate with
personality characteristic or events. There are
many ways to use astrology, including looking at
the position of the planets at the time when you
were born (natal chart), at different times in
your life (transits, progressions), or how the
planets in your chart compare to someone else's
chart (chart comparison). Many versions of
astrology are used today. The most common are
Western astrology and Vedic (AKA: Eastern)
astrology.
