Yelahiah's characteristics — ילהיה

Yelahiah is the guardian angel who watches over people born between 29 October and 2 November, under the sign of Scorpio.

Who is the angel Yelahiah?

Yelahiah is the angel of the battles you fight standing up and without hatred. She does not promise to spare you your trials: she promises to make you able to walk through them, and to come out fairer than you went in.

The origin of the name Yelahiah

Yelahiah is the 44th sacred name of the Shem HaMephorash — the 72 divine names drawn by the kabbalists from the three verses of Exodus (XIV, 19-21). Her Hebrew name ילהיה translates literally as “Eternal God”. Tradition also gives her the key of “Closeness to God”, because she holds those she protects right beside the Light at the very moment when anger would pull them away from it. The traditional call taken from the Psalms is: “Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.” (Psalm 119, v.108).

Her place in the angelic hierarchy

Yelahiah belongs to the choir of the Virtues — the angels who dispense grace and courage, placed under the authority of the Sephira Tiphereth, the beauty and harmony of the heart. She holds the fourth rank there, between the angel Veuliah and the angel Sehaliah. Her ruling archangel is archangel Raphael, the great celestial healer: where Yelahiah cuts through, Raphael repairs, and it is this balance that keeps courage from turning into harshness.

Her spiritual mission

Yelahiah's mission is to turn aggressiveness into constructive strength. She brings protection in conflicts, clear-sightedness in lawsuits and disputes, and that form of quiet bravery which no longer needs to prove anything. She is also the angel of karma, the one you come back to when a past decision keeps weighing on you.

Yelahiah also widens the horizon — journeys, discoveries, encounters — because a courageous heart needs space to breathe. Her natives like to travel in order to learn, and they stand out through their many talents as much as through their bravery. To go further into the mission she entrusts to you, you can also look at your angel number.

If Yelahiah is your protecting angel, know that she always watches over you, wherever you are. She may decide to send you a message if she feels you need to hear it, by showing you a mirror hour. Stay attentive 😉.

Why call upon the guardian angel Yelahiah?

People turn to Yelahiah when a situation calls for nerve: a conflict that drags on, an injustice to put right, a decision that has been postponed for far too long. She brings the clarity that allows you to act without regret, never recklessness.

She is also the angel to turn to when anger takes up too much room. Yelahiah gives it a direction, and makes it useful.

You can call upon Yelahiah if:

• You lack boldness: faced with a challenge that intimidates you, she breathes in the bravery needed to take the first step.
• You want to act with uprightness: in a project, a dispute or a negotiation, she guides you towards balance rather than a show of force.
• You need to channel your aggressiveness: in a tense climate, she turns tension into useful momentum and protects you from aggression.
• You are trying to repair the past: she helps you correct an action you regret and free your conscience.

How to call upon Yelahiah?

The ideal moment

Yelahiah is especially attentive on her annual regency days: 2 May, 14 July, 25 September, 7 December and 18 February. During the day, she is most receptive between 2:20 and 2:40 pm. This is the moment of the day to address a request for courage to her.

How to prepare

Set up a calm space at home, suited to meditation, and light an orange candle: it stands for the inner fire that drives you. Add some nutmeg incense if you can, as it stimulates courage and determination. You may hold a fire agate stone in your hand to amplify the connection. What matters most is sincerity.
