Messages of Patience, Rest, and Perseverance
As the seasons shift and the energy of the month unfolds, we are reminded that divine timing and inner balance are always guiding forces in our lives. The angelic realm whispers gentle messages of reassurance, reminding us that even in times of stillness or uncertainty, we are held in the loving embrace of Spirit.
This month’s angel reading, channeled through Kris Gibbs and using The Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid, brings forth three powerful cards that weave a story of healing and resilience: Patience (Temperance), 4 of Air (4 of Swords), and 9 of Fire (9 of Wands). Together, these cards form a triad of wisdom that calls us to slow down, breathe, and trust in divine orchestration.
Card One: Patience (Temperance) — Finding Balance in Divine Timing
The Patience card (known in traditional tarot as Temperance) opens this reading with a sacred reminder: everything is unfolding as it should. The angels ask you to release any anxiety about what is or isn’t happening right now. Even if you can’t yet see it in the outer world, your needs are being met behind the scenes. Divine timing is at play, and your higher self is guiding you toward balance, harmony, and moderation in all things.
Patience is often misunderstood as passive waiting, but spiritually, it’s an active form of trust. It asks us to hold faith when results are not immediate, to stay grounded when the world feels chaotic, and to surrender control while keeping the heart open to possibility.
Benjamin Franklin once wrote, “He that can have patience, can have what he will.” When we cultivate patience, we align ourselves with the rhythm of the universe instead of fighting against it. We stop forcing outcomes and instead move in flow with the greater current of life.
In practical terms, this may mean letting go of the urgency to fix everything right now. It may mean allowing yourself to breathe between tasks, speak with kindness instead of frustration, and trust that the timing of your dreams is not random—it’s perfect.
Angelic Guidance
The angels encourage you to moderate your energy this month. Avoid extremes—whether emotional, physical, or spiritual. Take the middle path and trust that balance will restore itself naturally. When impatience rises, pause. Breathe. Ask your angels to infuse your heart with calm understanding.
When you embody patience, you create harmony not just within yourself but in every circle you touch—family, friends, and the workplace. Your centered energy becomes a blessing to others.

Card Two: 4 of Air (4 of Swords) — The Power of Rest and Stillness
The second card, the 4 of Air, brings a breath of quiet into the reading. Its message is simple yet profound: rest is sacred.
In our fast-paced world, we are often taught to equate busyness with worthiness. But the angels are clear—this is a time for healing, reflection, and gentle restoration. The mind needs quiet to hear the whispers of the soul.
When this card appears, it signals a divine invitation to pause. To meditate. To let your nervous system reset. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or creatively blocked, it’s not a sign of weakness—it’s a call to step back and recharge your light.
Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is rest. During these still moments, divine clarity arises. The angels speak more clearly when we quiet the noise around and within us.
You may be guided to take a break from routine, spend time in nature, or schedule that long-overdue day off. Trust that when you return to your responsibilities, you’ll do so with renewed strength and spiritual insight.
Angelic Guidance
The angels remind you: You already hold the answers you seek. You simply need the space to hear them. Create stillness each day, even if only for five minutes. Turn off your phone, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Feel yourself surrounded by healing light.
If you’ve been dealing with decision fatigue or emotional overload, this card encourages stepping back before moving forward. It’s okay to say “not today” and give yourself permission to recover. As you rest, your energy naturally rebalances and new perspectives emerge.
This is also a wonderful time to connect with your inner guidance through journaling, gentle yoga, or meditation. The angels of peace—Archangel Raphael and Archangel Uriel—can assist you in releasing mental clutter and restoring your sense of calm.

Card Three: 9 of Fire (9 of Wands) — Perseverance and Inner Strength
The 9 of Fire arrives as a message of courage and resilience. It acknowledges that you’ve been through challenges and may feel weary—but the angels want you to know that your strength is unmatched. You’ve come too far to give up now.
This card asks you to pause and assess your situation before taking the next step. Not everything needs immediate action. Sometimes it’s wiser to gather insight, trust your intuition, and let the light of understanding guide the way.
When anxiety or fear arises, it can distort our perception, making situations seem worse than they are. The angels encourage you to step back, widen your perspective, and look at the bigger picture. What if things are actually falling into place rather than apart? What if this is the final test of faith before a breakthrough?
The 9 of Fire is a card of perseverance. It reminds us that spiritual strength isn’t about never being tired or doubtful—it’s about holding the flame of hope even when the winds of challenge blow.
Angelic Guidance
Archangel Michael steps forward with this card, offering protection and courage. He reminds you that fear is not your enemy; it’s an invitation to strengthen your faith.
Release the grip of worry and refocus on what truly matters. Let go of what you cannot control. The angels assure you that help is on the way, though it may not appear in the form you expect. Continue to move forward with steady, hopeful steps.
Remember that perseverance doesn’t always mean pushing harder. Sometimes it means resting, healing, and then rising again—stronger and more determined than before.

Integrating the Messages
When we weave together the messages from these three cards—Patience, Rest, and Perseverance—a clear theme emerges: you are being guided to slow down, trust the process, and honor your energy. The universe is orchestrating events for your highest good, even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.
This is a time to strengthen your spirit through stillness and faith. To remember that even when nothing seems to be happening, growth is occurring beneath the surface. Seeds take time to root before they blossom.
The angels want you to know that your path is blessed. You are not alone, and you have the inner wisdom to navigate whatever comes next.

When the time for action arrives, you will know it by the peace that fills your heart. Until then, breathe, rest, and trust in the rhythm of the stars.”
