Yelahiah, the Angel of Courage: Secrets and Tarot Spread

Yelahiah (also known as Yelahel) is the 44th Shem HaMephorash, known as the Angel of Courage, and her name means “God the Eternal.” She belongs to the Choir of Virtues under Archangel Michael (Tipheret). She is the primary Guardian Angel for those born 29 October–2 November (final five days of Scorpio’s first decan) and rules the time 2:20–2:40 PM each day; secondary rulership dates are 20 Feb, 4 May, 18 Jul, 1 Oct, 12 Dec. Mars rules the first decan of Scorpio and the Sun rules Tipheret, so these are the combined planetary correspondences.

Yelahiah is a guardian of divine justice who restores courage where fear or grief has taken hold. Her current steadies the mind, strengthens resolve, and guides right action—especially when integrity and fair process matter. Though often called the “Soldier Angel,” her protection extends beyond literal battlefields to courts, negotiations, contracts, and the quieter inner battles where we reclaim our voice.

Yelahiah & the 5 of Cups (Mars in Scorpio)

Yelahiah corresponds with the 5 of Cups—the Mars-in-Scorpio terrain where loss, regret, or disappointment can eclipse what remains. She turns that moment into a pivot: from fixation on spilt cups to the courage to cross the bridge and rebuild. Where Veuliah (co-angel of the first decan of Scorpio) leans into the soul lessons of loss and surrender, Yelahiah galvanises the will—cutting through rumination, clarifying truth, and guiding decisive, just action. In practice, meditating on the 5 of Cups with Yelahiah’s violet-green light helps transmute grief into clear resolve and restores healthy self-expression in love, work, and mission.
