Common questions
Which archangel is my guardian?
In this tradition, one of twelve archangels is associated with each zodiac sign, so your guardian archangel is the one linked to the sign of your birth date.

What is a guardian archangel?
A guardian archangel is an archangel traditionally believed to watch over and guide a particular person or group. In the zodiac framework used here, each of the twelve signs is paired with one of twelve archangels, each carrying its own qualities — courage, love, wisdom, protection, and so on. It is a spiritual and symbolic idea offered for reflection and guidance, not a claim of fact, and it is not tied to any single religion.
How are the 12 archangels linked to the zodiac?
Each archangel is assigned to the zodiac sign whose birth-date range it is traditionally associated with. The pairing follows the standard Western zodiac calendar, so the archangel changes at each sign boundary. Aries (March 21 to April 20) is linked to Archangel Ariel; the sequence continues through the year and completes with Pisces and Archangel Sandalphon.
Is this the same as astrology?
It uses the same twelve zodiac signs and date ranges as Western astrology, but it focuses on the archangel associated with each sign rather than on planetary positions. It is offered for spiritual guidance and reflection, and for entertainment, and it is not a substitute for professional advice of any kind.
