Remember the times you felt that you weren’t alone in times of need, but there was no one around? Well, chances are, you were really not.

Our faith is what keeps us going through the hardships of life. While we try our best to face every challenge that comes our way, we do also leave some things to be taken care of by the Almighty, who we know would never let us suffer in vain. While many of us must have heard about the signs of the universe, we do not really have a complete comprehension of it. Guardian angels are God’s way of showing that we are not alone and distraught; that we are being taken care of.

“Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven, their angels are always in the presence of my Heavenly Father” (Matthew 18:10). This is one of the passages in the Holy Bible that show us that there are guardian angels who look after us through spiritual difficulties and it is their role to guide the realms of men.

What is an angelic sign?
An angelic sign is a mode of communication that the spiritual guardians send us when we go through the trials of life. They are neither direct nor interfering. They come as a whiff and one has to spiritually wake to comprehend the signs and their purpose. Also, when you are in dire need of divine assistance and are rendered lost in a chaotic world of hardships these signs try to reach you repeatedly, in order to provide you insights, suggests The Law Of Attraction.

But how do we know when and how they are trying to communicate with us in crucial times? The signs of the universe are hard to interpret and therefore, easy to miss. Here, we discuss eight natural signs of communication we need to watch out for from our guardian angels.

1) Rainbows

One of the most prominent natural signs of guardian angels is rainbows. The sudden appearance of a rainbow in your line of vision or near your home suggests that a guardian angel is watching over you and are trying to convey that you are loved and cherished. This might also be a reminder that you are not alone during trying times and a better future is on the horizon. It can also be a message to direct you towards a place that you have previously been to and should visit again.

2) White Feathers

Coming across a white feather in an unexpected way is a major sign of the presence of guardian angels. It is also one of the most common signs to let you know that you are not alone and that the force and love of God is with you. White feathers are associated with winged angels and therefore, it is easy to comprehend their purpose. Angels use feathers of all shapes and sizes to draw your attention. It is their gentle way of letting you know that the questions you have been seeking from the universe will be answered soon.

3) Orbs or sparkling lights

According to Belief Net, sparkling lights are said to be “vehicles for angels.” If you suddenly see a sparkling streak of light in your peripheral vision or notice circular light flashes, known as orbs, on digital photographs, it is a potent sign of an angel watching over you. It is also believed that these lights are modes of communication. For example, an orange light is associated with positivity. A green light indicates power and blue and purple lights mean that you need to destress and take time off.

4) Music

Music is a very touching way an angel tries to communicate with you. Sometimes you listen to a song that lifts your spirits or the lyrics reaffirm the message that your conscience is trying to convey to you. Suddenly you might come across a not-so-popular song but that sends you the message you really wanted at that time or there may be a song with a particular kind of lyrics that keeps popping up in your playlist to send you a specific message. These are signs that a guardian angel is trying to make you feel its presence.

5) Dreams

It is easier for angels to communicate with us when you sleep because our minds are open and subconsciously open to receiving messages from the universe. You may have one dream again and again or there might be one particular dream that you try to decipher but cannot. Sometimes you might have a premonition when you are not fully asleep, which can help you have a clear picture of your future. When you experience the same dream, again and again, you can maintain a dream diary to decipher the messages.

6) Butterflies

Considered as a symbol of reincarnation and rebirth, butterflies have always lured human beings with their happy vibes. It is also said that the departed souls of our loved ones connect with us through butterflies. Also, angels have a way of guarding us in the form of butterflies. So if you notice butterflies leading you somewhere or just hovering around you, it may be a sign that an angel is close to you.

7) Angel numbers
If you are frequently coming across recurring numbers and patterns, it is not a coincidence. It is in fact, a sign that the universe is trying to communicate with you. Repeating patterns of numbers are generally considered as angelic signs. When you understand how to interpret these messages you can tell a lot about the course of your life. Typically repeating sequences of numbers such as 1111, 777, 1234 and 0101 are the universe’s way to send significant signals to you. These can be – letting you know about an unfortunate incident that is about to happen or alarming you regarding things you need to avoid or even conveying a piece of good news. Angel numbers are one of the most common signs to inform us that we always have someone to guide to the right path.

8) Animals
Human beings and animals have a spiritual connection with each other as it is. Thus, it is believed that the divine tries to reach us through the positive vibes of an animal. So if you see an animal suddenly walk past you and you are busy with your regular chores or not expecting them, it can mean that an angel is assuring you to not feel alone. In some cases, it can be in the form of a pet you happened to adopt without even planning to, and it came into your life like it was destined to.
