Anauel for August

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)

Hard and durable on the outside, soft and vulnerable on the inside, Cancer natives are ruled by the Moon who just recently has put on a new face in the sign of Leo and in the House of Possessions. Some fear or wound in the House of Regeneration is causing you spend more than you can afford, in other words, to become extravagant in order to mask your fears and to boost your lagging self-confidence. This kind of thing never pays off. As you develop wisdom, you will see that you are perfect in the moment. Grasping after tenuous future goals, or hanging onto limiting beliefs and habits causes you to miss the infinite joy and light that is available to you Now. During the month of August, you should call forth the many blessings of Anauel, the Angel of Prosperity. Ask her to help you find the Wisdom to recognize the abundance and prosperity that is flowing into your life, right now.

Guardian Angels DOMINION: Anauel offers success and prosperity. She offers us the ability to produce wealth and inspires us to share that wealth with other people.

GUIDANCE: Angel of Prosperity

SAMPLE AFFIRMATION: Success and financial rewards are flowing toward me in abundant currents.

SAMPLE PRAYER: Angel of Prosperity, I call on your Divine inspiration and guidance to assist me in calling my success directly into me life. Help me gain the wisdom I require to see this success and prosperity right now.

Through Jesus Christ's Precious, Pure and Holy name I pray. - Amen

Current mood: sleepy

1. What does your MySpace quote mean?
"Just making my little corner of the world a little brighter...."
well, it's the whole bloom where you are planted philosophy. Kinda Pollyanna-esque, but honestly, what more can you do on this planet except try to make your little corner a little better, a little happier, a little brighter. Beats watching CNN and being sad, anyway.

2. Elaborate on your default photo:
Jade took it after she made me laugh. I like it because there was a flash, candlelight, it was summer and I was laughing.

3. Who is the first person on your top 8?
Jack Johnson. I love him. I would so make him banana pancakes, but, he is married so no banana pancakes for him.

4. What's your relationship with the people in your top 8?

Jack Johnson- I paint to his music
Dave Matthews Band- I have fallen in love to his music
Coldplay- Only band to write a decent song about green eyes, and Fix You is great
Regina Spektor- way cool girl, I think I'll invite her over to sing for her supper
Chris Rice- best of the Christian Rock singers ever, Lemonade and When Did You Fall In Love With Me make me smile
Rachel Yamagata- Ah, sang the song at the end of Prime that made me cry, "I Wish You Love"
Van Morrison- Grew up loving him, dated a man that has everything he ever recorded so he will always be a special singer to me

sometimes a song on the radio makes me cry

Landslide Fleetwood Mac lyrics
Artist: Fleetwood Mac
Album: The Very Best Of
Year: 2002
Title: Landslide Print
Correct


(Stevie Nicks)

I took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'til the landslide brought it down
Oh, mirror in the sky -What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin'...ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I don't know.....I don't know
Well I've been afraid of changin'
because I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too....
So, take my love...take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
and if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills...
well the landslide will bring it down
The landslide will bring it down
