This card is coming to you to remind you of the importance of spending time in nature. We are natural beings, and we instinctively change in accordance with the rhythms of our environment. When we spend time in nature, we recharge our physical bodies and reconnect with all the other creatures we share this planet with. This connection with nature helps calm our often-frazzled minds so we are able to focus more clearly on the abundance we are bringing into our lives.
Try having a picnic on a sunny day. See how the simple act of eating out of doors makes you feel like a part of the natural world.
So much of modern life revolves around screens and machines – to the point that we tend to lose our connections with other people and nature. By spending more time outside, we come into contact with our neighbors, as well as grow more aware of our surroundings.
Notice if you start to feel more centered and grounded when you spend more time in nature. See if your priorities shift. You may even find yourself cleaning up after others and collecting little, as people who are particularly connected with nature often do.
Nature has invaluable lessons to teach about abundance. When you’re outside, notice how incredibly varied the world is, with a profusion of life and natural splendors that defies categorization. Observe the animals you see scurrying about are abundantly provided for by God, and know that you too are abundantly provided for.

Have you been trying to do everything on your own, Dear One? Because this card is signaling that you need help but have been reluctant to ask for it.
Asking for help takes courage. Often we feel that doing so is a sign of weakness, or that it burdens someone else. This unwillingness to ask for what we need can have a negative spiral effect. The longer we go without asking for help, the longer we go without receiving any. If this pattern continues on long enough, we can even come to the erroneous viewpoint that there is no help to be had at all.
God and the angels reassure you that they are without limitation. They can be in as many places at once as they are needed. You can never bother them. No problem is too large, and no issue too trivial. They don’t have physical bodies, so they can never tire.
Having the courage to ask for help – from God, Jesus, the angels, or another person – is an important step toward manifesting abundance. It is such a powerful step that it is almost instantly rewarded by an answer. Tune in to how your body and mind feel immediately afterward. You may be receiving on-the-spot guidance as to how you can co-create the abundance you are asking for. Flashes of inspiration, sudden invitations or job offers, and other signs present themselves to those who take this leap of faith.

This card encourages you to move forward with your inner guidance, even if you presently can’t foresee how it will all work out. When you take a chance with the guidance that you are receiving, your actions are saying that you trust God and the angels.
Placing our trust in the Divine makes good sense, since Heaven can see our actions from a 360-degree perspective that we often lack. God that the angels can see the repercussions of our actions echoing out into infinity, whereas we are lucky to be able to accurately predict the ripple effect through the next day.
Very few monumental and important tasks have been achieved by people who did not take some sort of risk. We know that it can be intimidating, but trust that you are being led toward a positive and abundant future. God and the angels are with you every step of the way, ensuring that you will only receive that which is for your highest good.
The Angels of Abundance are not encouraging you to take needless risks or to behave recklessly, however. Ensure that you are following your Divine guidance, not some ego-based desire. Greed, anger, and lust are not the emotions of the angels, and they will never guide you with those feelings. True non-ego-based guidance comes in the form of love, inspiration, and giving. You can be assured that if you are receiving guidance that does not come from a place of deep and powerful love, it is not true guidance and you should not follow it. You can always ask God to help you to know if your guidance is true or not, and you will receive clear signs to answer you.
