Stop Playing Small: Archangel Raphael's Tarot Reading for Stepping Into Your Power + Full Energy Forecast | Aligned & Abundant Frequency Friday Drop 47

I was sitting in an intimate Archangel Raphael workshop this week with my beautiful friend and angel channeler Maura Bertotti, and Raphael's message came through loud and clear: "There are so many people on this call who are playing small."

Those words hit differently when you hear them in a sacred space, surrounded by souls who showed up to receive. And I knew—if it landed for me, it's landing for you too.

This is your Frequency Friday for the week of August 21st, and it's a permission slip wrapped in cosmic timing. By the end of this episode, you'll understand exactly what this weekend's waxing gibbous moon, the cardinal sign shifts moving through your week, and Archangel Raphael's wholeness energy are asking you to do—plus the three concrete moves to finally step into the power you've been sitting on.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• Why this weekend's waxing gibbous moon is manifestation energy at its PEAK—and why your words and thoughts carry more weight right now than they usually do
• The message Archangel Raphael delivered at this week's workshop: you were not meant to blend in (and people are literally waiting for your gifts)
• Your collective 3-card tarot pull: King of Wands reversed, Ten of Swords, and Seven of Wands—and what they're asking you to release, breakthrough through, and stand firm in
• Why the King of Wands reversed is asking "where are you playing small?"—and the one honest conversation you need to have with yourself this weekend
• What the Ten of Swords is really telling you: the mental storm is breaking, and that's a breakthrough worth celebrating
• How the Seven of Wands is your permission to say NO to what doesn't serve you and YES to what does
• The week ahead: how moving from Sagittarius through Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces is literally a recipe for integration
• Three action items for this weekend that actually move the needle (speak your truth, clear the mental clutter, stand in your power)
• Why Archangel Raphael's message about wholeness matters right now—and how to call on his healing energy when the inner chaos feels too loud

Mentioned in this episode:

• Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous (manifestation energy, amplification, your words carry weight)
• Astrological Energy: Sagittarius this weekend → Capricorn (Aug 23-24) → Aquarius (Aug 25-26) → Pisces (Aug 27)
• Tarot: King of Wands (reversed), Ten of Swords, Seven of Wands
• Archangel Raphael — healing, clear communication, wholeness, bridging inner chaos to outer clarity
• Guest/Inspiration: Moira Bertoli (angel channeler & Archangel Raphael workshop facilitator)
• Key Practice: Journaling what you need to release + asking Raphael for clarity

If you've been waiting for permission to stop dimming your light, waiting for the "right time" to speak your truth, waiting to feel brave enough—this is it. This is the week. The universe isn't being subtle about it. Your words are amplified. The mental fog is lifting. And there are people on this earth who need exactly what you have to offer.

Courage isn't a feeling you wait for. It's a choice you make. You've done the inner work, soul. This is the week you get to let people see it. I'm right here cheering you on. 💜
