Michael: the Guardian Angel of August
Archangel Michael is the protector of humanity and the ruling angel of the Sun.
See Archangel Michael
Archangel Michael have power to subvert kingdoms, to regulate all conditions, to discriminate between master and servant, to command evil spirits, to confer perpetual health, and to give to man music, logic, and ethics.
Archangel Michael is the angel of Faith. The new directions we began in the spring may have become difficult to sustain. Like a garden that needs constant watering and weeding in the scorching August sun, our projects and dreams require stamina and determination to bring them to fruition. Archangel Michael helps us with unflagging energy to tend the garden we have planted. When the hot summer sun and the work of our lives demand too much of us, Archangel Michael brings us the fortitude to cleave to our tasks through completion.
This month focus on determination and achievement. The Sun illuminates and nourishes the world at this time of the year. Enthusiasm and excitement is in the air and Archangel Michael is willing to give us a hand to achieve what is dearest and important to us. Encouragement from Archangel Michael is paramount and should be sought after. The road to righteousness is filled with lies and deceit, a trustworthy companion is a must.
If you were born in August, you have an inborn gift of being dependable, sincere, good analysts, perfectionist, leadership, attractive, confident and courteous.
