We Have Two Types of Angels:
Guardian Angels and Archangels
When we are born, our creator assigns angels and kind spirits that help us achieve our life goals.
They are there to enlighten our path and guide us, to watch us so that we do not go off the path
to happiness. But that's not all. There's not just one guardian angel, and depending on your
date of birth and zodiac sign, you're assigned to a special angel with specific traits.
Meet your Taurus zodiac-based angel now!
Taurus Archangel:
Avenir Light is a clean and stylish font favored by designers. It's easy on the eyes and a great go-to font for titles, paragraphs & more.
Archangel Haniel is considered to be the Angel of Intuition and clairvoyance and is linked through the planet Venus ruling Taurus
and Libra.
She/He also oversees astrology and spiritual healing.
She/He is also, it is said, thought to be the angel of “JOY”.
The lantern of joy has the power to bring light into any circumstances, no matter how dark they may be.
Haniel is sometimes pictured holding a lantern.
Haniel “brings harmony and balance wherever she/He goes” (Libra is always seeking harmony and balance).
She is the Angel that, it is also said, reminds you to find fulfillment from within rather than trying to find happiness from outside yourself.

Crystals for the Taurus Zodiac Sign
From April 20 to May 20, the Sun is in Taurus. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and it’s cycle starts in spring - Taurus season. Taurus is symbolized by the bull and is associated with the element, earth. Taurus is ruled by the planet of love, Venus. Taurus energy is generally calm but has the tendency to become aggressive especially during difficult situations. During this time every sign of the Zodiac will be exposed to Taurus' energy. How this energy affects you depends on your personality and ability to adapt to the changes around you.
Taurus season may be a good time for many to work harder on their goals, small and big alike. You can take advantage of Taurus' determined energy to focus on endeavors that would be beneficial to your long-term success. Taurus' energy and ability to get things done with intense focus and determination can help anyone who has trouble concentrating on their goals. However, if you feel that you are more attuned to the aggressive part of Taurus' energy, you might want to slow it down a bit during this season. Fortunately, there are stones and crystals that can help you out during Taurus season whether you want to take advantage of Taurus' energy to turn your goals into reality or you want to slow down a little and learn to appreciate the present moment.
Here are 10 Taurus gemstones to support and balance Taurus' energy
Chakra: Heart

Lapis Lazuli is a premier crystal of truth and self-expression. It encourages self-discovery and reveals inner truths about yourself. It will help you come to terms with things you’ve repressed and remove any unease that haunts you from your past.
Lapis lazuli strengthens friendships and allow the usually reserved Taurus to have an easier time opening up to others about themselves; effective communication helps deepen relationships not just with friends and family, but also with colleagues and people you closely work with.
Lapis lazuli is a stone that promotes honesty in oneself and allows you to look past your own ego. It is a stone that every Taurus should have in their collection, as it allows them to see past their preconceived notions of reality and reveal truths about themselves and the world around them.
As Taurus hate being in the spotlight, it can be difficult for those who are in positions where they have to share ideas with teams or groups of people. Anyone who has trouble communicating effectively, whether due to clouded thoughts or lack of confidence, can benefit from Lapis Lazuli. It not only boosts your confidence in speaking out, but it also promotes wisdom and helps improve one's performance.

Carry Pyrite with you or wear it as jewelry mixed with other stones that complement its energy when you find yourself having to make difficult decisions. Pyrite is especially attuned to Taurus energy, as it is an earth element stone that also resonates with the fire element.
Pyrite will shield you from harm and stop you from focusing on negative criticism whether it's self-criticism or criticism from others. Pyrites will also keep your intellectual energy high and prevent mental exhaustion by improving the blood flow to your brain.
Blue Kyanite
Chakra: Heart, Throat, Third Eye
Blue Kyanite is a stone of loyalty and fairness, making it a great stone to use when dealing with disagreements and arguments and can rekindle trust with those we fought with recently. Blue Kyanite is an excellent stone for communicating and for opening one's mind to other people's views and beliefs while still sticking to one's own ideals and principles - qualities that that Taurus can
significantly benefit from.

A True Story -- Author Unknown
Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. Although she was very scared, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff. In spite of her fear, she put on the gear, took hold of the rope, and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda's eye and knocked out her contact lens.
Well, here she is, on a rock ledge, with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn't there.
Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry. She was desperate and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to find it.
When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found. She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the cliff.
She looked out across range after range of mountains, thinking of that verse that says, "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth." She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me."
Finally, they walked down the trail to the bottom. At the bottom there was a new party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff.
One of them shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?"
Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it on its back.
DRIVING TEST
Author Unknown
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and asked his Dad if he could start using the family car.
The Dad said he’d make a deal with his son, “You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car”
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks, the Dad said, “Son, you’ve brought your grades up and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut.”
The boy said, “You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”
His Dad replied, “Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?”

Once a month (on average) a new moon arrives to help us make a fresh start.
New moons plant the seeds of intention and inspiration that unfold as the moon becomes more visible each day.
At a new moon, the moon is perfectly positioned between the Earth and the Sun. As such, the “backside” of the moon is lit, and it becomes invisible from our view down here. Because everything goes dark, it’s as if we have a blank canvas on which to create. In “nothingness” there is a sense of limitless possibilities.
What is a new moon exactly?
New moons occur when the Sun and the Moon meet at the same astrological degree that astrologers measure in the sky. The new moon is the very first of eight monthly moon phases which occur in a 29.5-day lunar month.
Each new moon in a calendar year falls in a different zodiac sign. The new moon is always in the same sign as the Sun. For example, during Aries season, the new moon will always be in Aries.
In astronomy terms:
The new moon occurs when the Sun and the moon are at the same longitude on the ecliptic—the plane created by the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
The full moon is the reverse of this. A full moon occurs when the Sun and the moon are in opposite zodiac signs, and 180 degrees apart in ecliptic longitude.
NEW MOON IN TAURUS
Your safety depends on the need for stability, which is not easy to satisfy now.
You have to learn to accept change as part of your life.
The basic problem is finding your own self-respect in order to ensure that you do not mistakenly seek it in material things.
When you accept yourself for who you are, it will become easier for you to find peace and tranquility in the outside world.

FULL MOON IN SCORPIO
If the New Moon is considered the best time to ‘plant seeds’, then Full Moon energy is all about ‘harvesting’ and ‘completion.’ Rather than starting something new or wishing for something new, the best way to accelerate attraction is to show your gratitude for all things such as the Moon, the Universe, and the people around you. Also, once the Full Moon passes the Moon gradually starts to wane, so Full Moons also have the power to release past trauma or anger, emotional scars, and bad habits.
May 16
Moon in Scorpio:
Moon in Scorpio creates the need to delve into your feelings as deep as possible.
You desire meaningful emotional exchanges now more than at any other time even if it is not easy and you are forced to change many things.
Shallow relationships do not satisfy you, because they are not purifying enough.
Organs influenced by Scorpio Moon Sign:
Organs: Genitals, rectum, anus, urethra, genital glands, ovaries, prostate, pubic bone, genes.
These organs are now more sensitive so provide them with extra care.
Surgical operations:
NO! - Surgical operations are strongly not recommended during the Full Moon!
Food for thought with Words of Wisdom
Gratitude is just words, words, words unless you feel it intensely
and deeply.
To really harness the power of gratitude you must practice, practice and practice until you reach the greatest depth of feeling and tbe highest frequency.
That is gratitude at its most powerful.
Negative thoughts and negative emotitons need your attention and focus to stay alive.
They cannot survive without
your attention to them. If you ignore them and refuse to give them
any attention,
you are taking the life out of them
and they will be eliminated
Helicopter Ride
Author Unknown
Walter took his wife Ethel to the state fair every year, and every time he would say to her, “Ethel, you know that I’d love to go for a ride in that helicopter.” But Ethel would always reply, “I know that Walter, but that helicopter ride is 50 dollars and 50 dollars is 50 dollars.”
Finally, they went to the fair, and Walter said to Ethel, “Ethel, you know I’m 87 years old now. If I don’t ride that helicopter this year, I may never get another chance.” Once again Ethel replied, “Walter, you know that helicopter is 50 dollars and 50 dollars is 50 dollars.”
This time the helicopter pilot overheard the couple’s conversation and said, “Listen folks, I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll take both of you for a ride; if you can both stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word I won’t charge you! But if you say just one word, it’s 50 dollars.”
Walter and Ethel agreed and up they went in the helicopter. The pilot performed all kinds of fancy moves and tricks, but not a word was said by either Walter or Ethel.
The pilot did his death-defying tricks over and over again, but still there wasn’t so much as one word said.
When they finally landed, the pilot turned to Walter and said, “Wow! I’ve got to hand it to you. I did everything I could to get you to scream or shout out, but you didn’t. I’m really impressed!”
Walter replied, “Well to be honest I almost said something when Ethel fell out but, you know, 50 dollars is 50 dollars!”
