You may feel like the “odd man out” right now, as others may not fully appreciate or support your ideas and perspectives. In fact, you might be feeling discounted altogether. Fortunately, the Guardian Angel Michael is present to help you remain grounded and centered, even in such times of being challenged or misunderstood. He counsels you to remain true to yourself and steadfast in your convictions, even if they aren’t shared by those around you.

Yes, it can be scary to go against the crowd and stand up for what you believe in, especially when it’s unpopular or possibly ahead of its time. But Michael stands by you and reminds you that this is part of becoming a spiritually mature soul—he helps you ignore popular opinion and stay true to your heart.

Don’t seek approval, or doubt yourself when you don’t receive it. Instead, Michael encourages you to stand in your full spiritual adulthood and claim your self-esteem by trusting what you feel and believe in. Do not abandon yourself to win approval in the moment. And don’t be afraid to take a stand—after all, this is how you’ll become the true leader of your own life.

Whether you’re a man or a woman, your feminine, earthy side is in full bloom. The wishes, dreams, and desires you’ve carried in your heart are now gestating in the Divine womb and are coming into fruition. If you’re a woman, this signals a time of conception, pregnancy, and birth. If you’re a man, this is a time for your creativity to take form in the real world. If you’re married or partnered, this may signal that children are on the way.

Whatever you seek to create, it’s happening. The song in your heart will find its voice; the poetry will be expressed. Even your professional goals will find a home in which to grow. The Divine Mother, the fertile aspect of the Divine feminine, is gracing your life right now, and with her influence, your artistic and creative expression comes alive. If you’ve been feeling sterile, stagnant, and too controlled, she’s here to loosen things up and get your creative juices flowing. Surrender your mind and allow your soul to come alive in her embrace. She is with you, and her influence is powerful. Her message: “New life is on its way.”

You’re faced with many choices and aren’t sure what to do. Leave or stay in a job? Terminate or recommit to a relationship? Stop or continue a creative project? Go to work or stay at home with the kids? Life is an endless stream of choices, and doing what’s best is never a simple thing.

Fortunately, your Higher Self can help you resolve these difficult decisions, especially if you’re willing to let some of the balls you juggle drop to the wayside for now. The key to making the best choices is to simply follow your heart and attend only to what you care about right now. Focus on priorities that feed your spirit, and don’t become overwhelmed by the demands and expectations of others.

Ask your Higher Self to help you discern and trust in what requires your attention right now, and be willing to disappoint people. Your Higher Self assures you that what falls to the wayside isn’t important in the long run, despite the drama of the moment. The message for you is: “Don’t try to be all things to all people; it’s a waste of time, and you’ll surely fail.”
