Archangel Gabriel is the beloved angel who announced, "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great
joy!" Gabriel continues to bring us all joyful messages, in addition to supporting human
messengers such as writers, artists, craftspeople, musicians, teachers, journalists, and more.
Gabriel also brings happy announcements and support to parents and those who care for children.
In this beautiful card oracle deck by Doreen Virtue, you'll receive nurturing, encouraging, and
supportive messages related to your creative and teaching work, as well as your work with
children. Each card features a gorgeous image of Archangel Gabriel, along with a positive
message. The accompanying guidebook teaches you how to give yourself and others an accurate
Angel Card Reading, and explains the expanded meaning of each card.
1. Agent or Manager
Its time to get serious about your messenger career, and for that you need some help from
professionals. Apparently, youve been shy about revealing your work publicly. An agent or
manager can bypass this fear for you, because he or she will show case your creative gifts to the
world. This person will also give you helpful advice to polish your work so that its even more
successful.
Give worries about possible criticism or failure over to God, and youll be relieved of any
perfectionism keeping your creative works hidden from the world. Remember that youre not trying
to please everyone, just those who resonate with your message. The only way others will receive
the blessings from your work is if you make it available to them. An agent or a manager pays for
him-or herself, because its better to pay a percentage of some sales than no percentage of no
sales.
2. Allow yourself to receive
Open your arms to welcome the blessings and answered prayers that God is sending to you.
3. Ask For What You Want
This card comes to you because God, Archangel Gabriel, and all the angels know your hearts
desire,yet also respect your freewill choices. Heaven is waiting for you to be clear about your
desires and to ask for them to be fulfilled. You may be reluctant because of fears of making the
wrong choice. Yet, being stuck in indecision is, in itself, a decision to have your life stay as it
presently is.
Asking for what you want means taking a risk upon yourself and believing in your ability to help
others through your creative work. You can add, This, or something better, God, as a way of
ensuring that you have not asked for too little. After all, God desires that all His children be well
cared for.
4. Authenticity
This card asks you to create from your authentic voice. Dont change your work to fit the
marketplace. Be yourself! The definition of creativity is making something fresh and new. So if you
copy otherswork, you are not creating.
Its not about creating something that appeals to everyone. Its about creating what appeals to you
and makes your heart sing with joy. Allow Gods magnificent light to shine through your heart,
through your hands, and into your creation.
5. Birth
Archangel Gabriel announces births, both biblically and in modern senses. You drew this card as
an announcement of a forthcoming birth.
This could literally herald a pregnancy or adoption. Or it could mean the birth of a new project or
idea.
With any newly conceived child or idea, its essential to take good care of yourself and your
creation. Nurture yourself with extra love and gentle care. Now that the birth is imminent, allow
yourself to be Divinely guided in your action steps.

6. Blocks Lifted
Congratulations! This card signals the lifting of obstacles previously standing in your way. Now you
can expect to enjoy smoother sailing. For example, payments will arrive on time, decisions will be
made in your favor, and your work will receive the respect and attention it deserves.
This is a time when its extra important to stay optimistic and filled with faith. Enjoy and appreciate
the small successes, and recognize that they add up to big ones. The more you stay centered in
gratitude, the more positive opportunities will come your way.
7. Classes
Higher education is, literally, in your cards, with classes enhancing your skills and confidence. This
card guides you to research, and then enroll in, one or more classes related to your interests.
Being in a learning environment stimulates your ideas and exposes you to new perspectives.
Classes are also a wonderful place to meet new friends who share your passions.
In some cases, this card is a sign that youll be teaching classes as part of your messenger work.
Pray for guidance as to the form your teaching work will take. Know that Heaven will hold your
hand and lead you to the forum and students who will benefit from your wisdom.
8. Creative Expression
This card calls for you to fully express your feelings and artistic energies. Sometimes this means creating
something just for the sake of creating. It doesnt necessarily need to be for sale. This is especially
relevant if youve been feeling creatively blocked lately, which is a sign of overthinking the marketplace
viability of a projector of being self-conscious about possible future criticism. To overcome these
blocks, take the time to express yourself in a medium that you will probably never show to anyone else.
Go crazy with creativity, in ways that may seem over the top. Doing so will unblock your creative spirit so
that you can appropriately channel it, without fear, into future projects.
9. Daily Practice
This card reminds you that the key to success is practice,practice, practice. If
youre procrastinating, its probably because of fears of doing something thats not perfect in the
beginning. Yet, the only way to improve is to commit time each day to your aspiration. Research
shows that those who practice and study become the most proficient with their creative endeavors.
The reason for daily practice is to create a healthful new habit. When you become accustomed to
creating every dayeven if its just for a few minutesyou lose self-consciousness and become
more confident about your work. You will also enjoy creativity more when you treat it like a natural
part of your life, instead of like something thats stressful, requiring work.
10. Deserving
Heaven sent you this card to remind you that youlike everyonedeserve happiness, in all of its
splendid forms. Perhaps you believe that everyone else deserves happiness, but not you. That
would explain your receiving this card. Allow God and Archangel Gabriel to help you understand
that you are one with the Divine and all other creations of God; therefore, its impossible to exclude
yourself from the gifts God constantly bestows upon every-one. It is possible, however, for you to
block your receiving these gifts if youre struggling with feelings of guilt or unworthiness.
The solution is for you to call upon Heaven to help you forgive yourself for what youve done or not
done. Healing occurs when you remember that you are Gods innocent child, in spiritual truth. And
just as loving parents want the best for their children, so too does God will the best for you.
11. Detox Time
As a creative individual, you may feel overwhelmed with sensitive feelings, so you turn to
addictions to numb the intensity. This card comes to you as a reminder that those feelings in the
raw are the inspiration for your greatest creations. In addition, an addictive habit may be lowering
your mood and vibrations by artificially inducing depression or anxiety.
You already know in your heart which substances or behaviors are detracting from your health and
happiness. It could be consumption of wheat, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, meat, dairy, or sugar. Call
upon Heavens loving assistance to release unhealthful cravings so that you wont struggle with

your detox. You may be Divinely guided to human help to support your decision to approach life
with your heart open, your mind clear, and your body detoxified.
12. Divine Guidance
This card asks you to notice, trust, and follow the repetitive messages and signs that are coming to
you.
Messages urging you to make a positive change are Divine guidance. These signs from above are
often how prayers are answered.
If youre unsure whether a message is true Divine guidance or not, ask God to send you additional
signs as confirmation. When you follow true Divine guidance, your path is harmonious, enjoyable,
and safe.
13. Editor
You received this card because Heaven wants to help you polish your creative work so that it
shines brightly for all to see,admire, and benefit from. You are therefore guided to seek the counsel
of an experienced professional editor for your writing, or a teacher for your artwork. This is not to
diminish your own abilities to edit or critique your work. Its just encouragement to bring in a second
set of eyes, and to give you someone with whom you can bounce around new ideas and
inspiration.
You may feel reluctant to pull in a fresh opinion, feeling very protective of your work. Yet the angels
see that doing so can give your work the completion that it needs for public appreciation,
acceptance, and enjoyment. Perhaps your editor will have a question about the project that you
hadnt thought of. If the editor has the question, so will the public, and its easier to answer it ahead
of time, before releasing your creative work in the world. Trust that you will be Divinely led to the
right editor for your project, and that this persons work is an investment that will pay for itself.
14. Express Your Inner Truth
If youve been feeling creatively blocked, the message from this card will help you flow again.
Begin by expressing exactly how youre feeling right now. Write it, sing it, paint it, photograph it,
dance it, or proclaim your inner truth in whatever way you like. When you begin with the truth of
how youre feeling in the moment, you unplug creative blocks.
Although you may feel vulnerable when you express your current emotions and thoughts,
remember that this is a process that will lead you to new creative heights. You dont have to reveal
your embarrassing feelings to the public; however, you do need to express them to yourself in
order to get to the place of authentic creativity.
15. Gratitude
This is a powerful and loving card for you to receive, as the energy of gratitude is magnetic and
healing. When you have genuine appreciation for all the blessings that are in your life, you open
the door for them to continue. Gratitude is a prayer that attracts wonderful opportunities and
relationships. Its the opposite of complaining, which is a prayer of negativity that attracts more
negativity.
This card asks you to acknowledge the blessings surrounding you, your family, and your creative
works. Be thankful for tomorrow, and youll automatically erase all worries about the future. Its safe
for you to open your heart to the loving and warm experience of being grateful for what you
currently have, what youve had in the past, and what you will have in the future. Gratitude is faith
in action.
16. Happy News
This is an announcement of forthcoming news that you will be very happy about! All of the good
work youve been doing is culminating in success. The results may differ from your expectations,
but you will be pleased with them nonetheless. For that reason, stay open-minded as to how your
rewards come to you. If youre only looking for one type of success, you may not notice it arriving
in a different form.
As to the question of when this happy news is coming, Archangel Gabriel is saying that it is
imminent, arising within the next few days or weeks (less than two months). In the meantime,

continue with your current healthy and productive activities. Your rewards are unfolding in exactly
the right way.
17. Have Confidence In Your Creations
This card means that you are talented and also highly sensitive. The two go together, as your
heightened emotions fuel your creativity. Yet your sensitivity has a double edge, because you
sometimes feel different from other people who appear to be confident, which may lead you to
worry that your artistic creations wont be well received by the public. You may be concerned about
whether youll be able to financially support yourself with creative work.
So this card comes to you as reassurance that, yes, there are people who will love what you do
and who will support you with their purchases. Pour love energynot worry energyinto your
creations. This energy will attract everyone who will receive blessings from your work.
18. Helping Children
This card comes to you in answer to your question about your life purpose, because it involves
children.Your Higher Self connects with the purity of children, and you long to help them to be
healthy and happy. In doing so, you also nurture your own inner child.
Your work with children can take an infinite number of forms, including caring for the little ones in
your family. Allow the inspiration you receive to be dedicated to helping children. This intention that
you set will be broadcast through the ethers, and call to the children who will receive blessings
from your work. There is soul recognition between your heart and theirs. Trust this process, and
enjoy sharing love with the children whom you are meant to help.
19. Inspiration
You received this card as an invitation to explore something new . . . and to be inspired! This may
involve traveling to a beautiful location or exploring an iconic museums collection. Allow your
passions to be your tour guide, and think of the exploration as an investment that will yield future
benefits.
Traveling for your art is a way to open up to new perspectives, gain new cultural experiences, and
discover new mediums for creative inspiration.
20. Journaling
As a messenger, youre always receiving ideas and feelings. So, your guidance is to begin
recording your inspirations in a journal. This can be either an electronic notebook or a physical
journal, which acts as your private brainstorming teammate.
Record each idea, no matter how far-fetched or insignificant it seems. Its too easy to forget about
ideas if theyre not recorded where you can review them later. These are seeds, whichif planted
in your journalwill blossom into beautiful creations.
21. Keep Going
Perhaps being discouraged is part of the roller coaster of creativity. During those times when you
feel rejected, remember that over the years, millions of artists like you have felt the same way. The
ones whose work remains an inspiration are those who listened to the inner voice and ignored any
criticism or rejection.
Perhaps its time for you to watch a movie or read a book or an article about artists whove kept
going in the face of criticism to remind yourself that youre not alone. You received this card as
encouragement to continue upon your path. Keep practicing your art, polishing your craft, and
expressing your creativity.
22. Law of Attraction
Dear one, have you been chasing after your dreams? This card comes to you with an important
reminder that anything we chase will run away from us. Nothing enjoys the energy of pursuit.
Thats because theres an underlying fear behind the chase that says: Maybe I wont receive what I
want. Its actually that fear that manifests as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Keep doing your good work, but with the energy of gratitude for all that you have and for the
blessings to come. Give thanks to God for bestowing bountiful opportunities for you to share your
creativity. Attract your desires, instead of chasing them.

23. Let Go
Creativity is a dance of receiving and giving. You receive inspiration, which you then give to your
creative projects. This card is encouraging you to give through release.
Youve got a lot to say, even if you have self-doubts (which all artists struggle with at times). The
main message of this card is that its time to let go, which has multiple meanings. Youll know
which of these meanings apply to you: Let go of fears about your work; Let go of a job thats taking
all of your time; Let go and let God be in charge; Let go and express your authentic feelings
through your creativity; Let go and show your creative project to others. Whatever form it takes for
you . . . let go.
24. Listen Only To Love
You began your journey with a positive intention, so its important that you focus only upon that
intention through the ups and downs along the way. Everyone encounters unexpected detours
upon their path, so dont take yours personally.
This card comes to you as reassurance that any criticism you receive (from yourself or others) can
be viewed through the lens of love. There may be some valid and helpful ideas within the criticism,
if you can extract them with confidence. Dont allow yourself to be discouraged by the energy of
fear. Fear is merely trying to distract you from your path. Thats why its essential to listen only to
love.
25. Media
Your messages need to be broadcast far and wide, which is why you received this card. Its time to
explore new multimedia outlets for your work, and also to let people know about your projects via
media publicity. If you have already been receiving guidance to increase your multimedia
exposure, then let this card be additional motivation to do so.
Your prayers for greater exposure, higher income, and the ability to reach a wider audience are
answered. It all begins with you taking the first step, in terms of reaching out to those who can help
you and being proactive in creating and accepting opportunities. Do research, hire a publicist, or
contact media outlets. Any action you take in this direction will propel your work into the public
arena.
26. Mother Mary
This card signals the positive healing influence of Mother Mary in your life. She symbolizes purity,
devotion, miracles,faith, and care for children.
Most likely, youre receiving this card because your life purpose involves helping childrenyour
own or those of others. This can mean parenthood or being a caretaker, teacher, healer, writer,
artist, or inventor who helps children.
Youve also received this card to draw you in closer relationship with Mother Mary, who blesses the
lives of all who call upon her. Mother Mary, like Archangel Gabriel, is nondenominational and
unconditionally and equally loving to everyone. Call her name, tell her about your feelings, and ask
her to help you with your lifes purpose . . . and she will always be there for you with the sweetest
love youve ever felt.
27. Motivation
This card comes to you because you have the ideas and the desire, but you need help motivating
yourself to put them into action. Your message is that youre over-whelming yourself by trying to do
everything at once. God and the angels can help you break your project down into smaller steps
that are achievable and enjoyable.
So, take a moment now to breathe and relax, while saying a prayer for Divine guidance about the
next step to take with your project. Focus only upon that single step and dont worry about the
future ones, as you cant take care of the future right now . . . only the present. With the burden of
future worry released, youll have more enthusiasm toward your current creative actions.

28. New Project

This card comes to you as validation that you are on the right path with your new project. Heaven
can see that you have some fears, which are triggering procrastination and second thoughts within
you. Give your fears to God, and move forward one step at a time.
Be in the present moment with your excitement about this project, and do not allow yourself to
worry about the future.
Archangel Gabriel is also guiding you to avoid compromising or watering down your project to fit
your imaginings about what consumers want. Be fully invested in the power of your own vision, and
allow your work to be a reflection of your inner truth.
29. Nurture Yourself
As a sensitive person, you may get caught up in dreams or worries. This places your attention on
the future, so you may forget to take care of yourself right now. Thats why you received this card:
as a reminder of the importance of self-care.
If you could snap your fingers and instantly have enough time and money to nurture yourself, what
would you do? Whats the first thing that comes to mind? These are answers from your body,
which is asking you for care.
While you may not be able to do exactly what you envision, you could definitely approximate it, no
matter what your schedule or financial budget is like. And by nurturing yourself consistently, you
will receive many rewards in return.
30. Open Your Heart To Love
The key to everything youre seeking is love, as this card reminds you. Yes, youve been hurt and
disappointed. Yet, closing your heart for the sake of protection isnt the answer. By choosing to
open your heart, you shine the light of love so brightly that it sends a beacon to illuminate you and
your work. This attracts all of the right people who will give you companionship and support.
When you create with an open heart, people can intuitively feel the healing love energy within your
work . . . and they are magnetically drawn to it. Call upon the hearts of God, Mother Mary, Jesus,
and Archangel Gabriel to help you sweep away past pains, and look upon a more fruitful plain of
promise and love.
31. Pay Attention To Your Dreams
You are continuously creative, but this card comes to you as a sign that youre in a cycle of
heightened creativity right now. That means that youre being showered with artistic ideas around
the clock. Some of your greatest insights come during your dreams, while the skeptical mind is
asleep. For this reason, its essential to keep a notebook by your bed to record whatever you can
remember about your dreams. Even a little fragment of a memory is enough to open a new
pipeline to your imagination.
32. Perfectionism
You are receiving this card because of a tendency that could block your creative
flow:perfectionism. Your spiritual mind is one with the mind of the infinitely creative
Creator. Therefore, your inspired creativity is Divinely perfect, in spiritual truth.
An earthly truth is that all physical forms of creativity could be improved; however, there comes a
time when you must release your creation out into the world for others to enjoy. Any fears you have
about perceived imperfections will only attract critics as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Perfectionism can also lead to procrastination, as you wait for the perfect moment to begin your
creative work. You may be delaying until more time, inspiration, confidence, or other conditions
arise. The truth is that now is the perfect time for you to begin, even if youre just taking small daily
steps toward the fruition of your dream.

33. Prosperity
This card heralds abundance related to your projects. It looks like you will be the recipient of
royalties, advance payments, or an unexpected windfall. You received this card as guidance to
release any fears you may have about prosperity, such as romanticized notions of the starving
artist or feeling undeserving of wealth.
Think of finances as a tool giving you more time and freedom to devote to your creativity. Since
your projects will inspire and help many people, you are actually allowing yourself to receive in a
way that will benefit others. The more you receive, the more you have available to give to others.
34. Recognition
Congratulations! This card announces that youll be getting recognition for your efforts and
accomplishments. You may be receiving media attention, compliments, honors, awards, or a
promotion.
This card can also be a signal of your own self-recognition, which is the key to high self- esteem.
Its healthy for you to acknowledge how hard youve worked and to reward yourself for your efforts.
35. Retreat
You need some time alone to rest, reflect, and rejuvenate. This isnt selfish on your partits
necessary. Jesus modeled the need for retreat as an act of self-care that strengthened his ability to
care for others. And so it is for you as well. Even if you believe you dont have the time or money to
get away, this card says that if you set the intention, everything else will follow.
Think of your retreat as an investment that will pay glorious yields of renewed energy, enthusiasm,
and inspiration. The retreat will surely pay for itself when you think of it in this way. Its not the
amount of time you spend apart from others; rather, its the quality of that time in which you give
yourself complete permission to let go and simply be.
36. Sensitivity
You received this card because youre in a period of even more heightened sensitivity than normal.
During this time,its essential to protect yourself from harsh energy. This may involve saying no to
social invitations that may involve intensity beyond your present comfort levels.
On a positive note, your sensitivity can be funneled into your creative projects, and serve as your
muse. You can be certain that other sensitive people will appreciate your revealing your truth
through your art, because it helps them relate to you and not feel alone.
37. Share Your Art With The World
This card signifies that you are keeping your projects under wraps because of perfectionism or
fears of rejection and criticism. It may be helpful to remind yourself that theres never been an artist
in this world who was universally accepted and appreciated. An attempt to create something
everyone likes is a futile goal especially if its preventing you from sharing your art with the world
in the first place.
Begin by sharing your creations with kind and trustworthy people, who will give you honest
feedback in gentle and respectful ways. Their reactions will encourage you to keep moving forward
with your projects.
38. Speeches And Speaking
You are a messenger, and your message now needs to reach a larger audience. So this card is
encouraging you to step up onto the stage and deliver your messages. If you feel intimidated by
public speaking, then take a speech class or join Toastmasters International to gain confidence
and polish your speaking skills.
Nervousness comes from self-consciousness, with worries like What if they dont like me? or What
if I cant do it? All of the egos fears are about me and I, whereas your true Higher Self is
focused upon helping others through selfless service. So your Higher Self approaches speeches
with the attitude of Please let me bring blessings to everyone I can. And those blessings come right
back to you when you help the world by spreading your message of love.
Remember that you can always call upon Archangel Gabriel to help you give speeches in an
articulate, confident, and clear way.

39. Stay True To Yourself

This card is a message for you to trust and follow your inner guidance. Dont second-guess
yourself or veer off course to please other people. You know, deep down, what to do. Partner with
Gods guidance. Trust and follow the path youre shown, one step at a time.
If you ever find yourself feeling stuck or if your business stalls, you can be sure its because youve
compromised your original ideas. This stems from listening to fears and trying to satisfy everyone
or fit in with others. Fears will never lead you where you want to go. Fortunately, its never too late
to get back on track by staying true to yourself. This experience will help strengthen your
assertiveness. Call upon God and Archangel Gabriel for help in being honest with others.
40. Success
Your hard work has paid off, and you are receiving acknowledgment and rewards!
This card heralds success coming your way, and asks you to keep the faith and continue upon
your path of action steps. The result will exceed your expectations, and will also be an important
stepping-stone leading you to your ultimate dreams.
41. Time Management
Youve been very busy, so this card is here to help you. A great deal of the creative process
involves managing your time so that your priorities (such as your creative projects) are given daily
attention. You are being guided to do an inventory of whats on your schedule that you could
release, to free up more time for your passions. Even an extra hour you can devote to creativity will
invigorate you and renew your enthusiasm for life.
Begin by making daily appointments or deadlines with yourself, which you commit to your calendar.
Seeing these self-appointments will motivate you to reflectand, hopefully, also actupon your
creative ideas and inspirations.
42. Vision Board
This card is a fun Divine assignment for you to visualize Gods plan for you. A vision board can
take many forms, but classically consists of a poster-size firm, white background, on which you
glue positive words and inspiring pictures. You can find the vision-board ingredients via Internet
image searches or in magazines. You can even create the pictures yourself. Anything that helps
inspire you is a wonderful addition to your vision board.
Its traditional to make a vision board in honor of significant events, such as birthdays,
anniversaries, the New Year, or solstices. However, any time is a perfect one to create a vision
board! You can continue to add to it as you discover new avenues of inspiration.
Place your vision board where you can readily see it. That said, because the board is personal,
you may wish to hang it in a private location where its only visible to you.
43. Vulnerability
This card is reassuring you that its safe for you to face your tender feelings, and to view them as
muses for your creative spirit. Feeling vulnerable doesnt mean that you actually are vulnerable or
unsafe, but rather that your feelings are speaking to you . . . and seeking outlet through your
creative projects.
You can be sure that everything youre feeling is universally experienced by others. You can heal
the feelings of isolation and abandonment pervasive among so many people by helping them know
that theyre not alone in their emotional experiences.
44. Writers' Group
Youre guided to join or start a writers group (or a group focused upon your particular art form) for
support and motivation. When you join a group of like-minded people, the energy of creativity is
magnified. Groups can also give you the incentive to complete projects and meet deadlines
because of promises youve made to yourself and the members. Studies show that collaborations
lead to enhanced creativity because of the contributions of brainstorming with others.
Look for existing groups in your local newspaper or on a website such as meetup.com, and if none
exist in your area, volunteer to start one. There are also online support groups for writers and
artists that you can find through your Internet search engine.
