The Meaning of the "Archangel Raphael" Angel Card

The "Archangel Raphael" Angel Card

NOTE: This card is a special "Archangel" card. When Archangel cards appear, they indicate an especially important response. While other non-Archangel cards may reference minor or day-to-day issues, Archangel cards reference grander themes on longer timelines. They apply to overarching life-trends, a major life-issue or possibly a major turning-point.

Archangel cards generally represent major themes in our lives rather than day-to-day issues.

Archangel cards are always read in the upright or vertical position, and cannot be reversed.

When "Raphael" appears, the card represents a long period of major healing and spiritual rejuvenation. Because Archangel cards represent grand themes and pivotal experiences, the type of healing represented by the "Raphael" card is not the minor cuts and scrapes type of healing. Nor does it represent the passing of a seasonal cold. Instead, the "Raphael" angel card represents an extended period of deep, holistic health and spiritual replenishment.

Slowly but surely, longstanding emotional scars finally begin to fade. Major health problems experience an ebbing phase, and a season of health and spiritual growth begins. The light of inner strength begins to glow within you, and your connection to the spiritual world grows stronger and more enriching.

The "Raphael" archangel card also reminds us to focus on our health and well-being. Take time for yourself. A period of healing and nourishment awaits you, but you must also give it room to grow — physically, emotionally and spiritually.
