She belongs to the Angelic Choir of Powers under Archangel Samael (Geburah), and her mantra is Lah-Heh-Heh.

Dates, Astrology & Tarot correspondences

Lehahiah is the primary Guardian Angel for those born 8–12 September. With Yehuiah (33), she co-rules the second decan of Virgo and corresponds to the 9 of Pentacles (Venus in Virgo)—a card of self-mastery, earned ease, and graceful competence. Her associated gemstone is Quartz, and her colours are indigo and purple. Devotees may also note her daily “angel hour,” 11:00–11:20, as a focused window for invocation, though sincere prayer is welcome at any time.

What Lehahiah helps with

Lehahiah’s energy and virtues make her a powerful ally when you want your inner life to match your outer service. Work with her when you need to anchor discipline without harshness and align with your true path without gripping. Key themes include:

• Calming anger; obedience; loyalty; dedication; devotion; selfless action
• Trust and favour of superiors; discipline and order; law, justice & cosmic order; integrity; divine service; government & rulership
• Acceptance of destiny; letting go; focusing on giving; release from unwanted attachments; following your path and trusting its unfolding; purification of vices

How to Connect & Invoke Guidance

Begin with Psalm 98:4: “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.” Then centre on the breath and softly chant Lah-Heh-Heh until you feel your mind shift from Beta to Alpha. You may add simple ritual touches: a Quartz point, indigo/purple candle or cloth, and a moment of silent willingness to act rightly today.

For those who enjoy timing, you can attune at 11:00–11:20 or on her primary dates, 8–12 September. Her secondary dates are 10 February, 24 April, 8 July, 20-21 September (until noon) and 2 December.

Shadow to virtue: what she transforms

Lehahiah’s medicine is practical and measurable. Where you’ve felt scattered or hot-headed, she cultivates clarity, restraint, and honourable follow-through. Typical patterns she helps transmute include:

• Disloyalty, anger issues, impulsivity, argumentativeness, lack of discipline or stamina, feeling rejected → restored trust, patience, and dependable action.

Lehahiah and the 9 of Pentacles

Two Shem Angels are linked with the 9 of Pentacles (Venus in Virgo): 33 Yehuiah (Yoh-HEH-wah) and 34 Lehahiah (Lah-HEH-heh). Both preside over the cultivated calm of this card—earned ease, dignified independence, and the quiet satisfaction that follows disciplined work.

While their rays overlap, their emphasis is beautifully practical: loyalty, obedience, steadiness under pressure, and right relationship with authority. Invoke Lehahiah in particular to cool anger, to act with integrity under unjust conditions, and to return your focus to consistent, high-quality effort. People often call the results “luck,” but under Lehahiah’s influence it’s usually the natural outcome of order, discipline, and competence—very much the 9 of Pentacles’ garden of well-tended virtues.

If you were born 8–12 September, Lehahiah is one of your Guardian Angels, and you may naturally embody qualities of the 9 of Pentacles: self-reliance, craftsmanship, devotion to practice, and serene poise. Working consciously with Lehahiah can help you refine these gifts and apply them in service to your true path.
