We’re well into Pisces Season and less than a week away from the New Moon in Pisces. I already have a couple of spreads on Angelorum for the New Moon in Pisces. You can find them HERE and HERE. Today’s spread is for those of us who love to combine the wisdom of the Tarot with the assistance of the Angels. So we will work specifically with Barachiel, in the Archangel Barachiel Tarot Spread below, for the New Moon in Pisces.

Archangel Barachiel is the Guardian Angel of Pisces. The Planet corresponding with Archangel Barachiel is Jupiter, the ancient ruler of Pisces. The associated Major Arcana card is The Moon. Some of the gemstones to connect with this angel are selenite, black tourmaline (protection), amethyst, rose quartz, aquamarine, turquoise and malachite (healing of the feet, especially when the origin is unknown).
Get to Know Archangel Barachiel
Archangel Barachiel, recognised in both Christian and Judaic traditions, is often depicted holding a white rose against his chest, a symbol of the blessings he bestows upon humanity. Depending on the artistic interpretation of the qualities of Barachiel, we see him as both male and female in traditional angel art. Barachiel is one of the seven archangels in Byzantine Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theology. In addition to being the GA associated with Pisces, he oversees all the guardian angels of every single human being. His name means “Blessing of God,” underlining his divine role to grant blessings and intercede on behalf of humanity.
Many turn to him for help with abundance and material blessings, as well as for protection. Invoke Barachiel on a Saturday for protection (Waning Moon is best) and Thursday (preferably Waxing Moon) for blessings of abundance.
While Archangel Barachiel does not appear prominently in the canonical scriptures, we find mention of him in some apocryphal texts. In the ‘Testament of Solomon,’ we read, ‘Barachiel, the intercessor of prayers, comes upon the earth with the sign of the stars, bringing forth grace and blessing from the heavens to gladden the hearts of men.’
Barachiel is also the angel who watches over converts to Christianity, offering guidance and protection in their spiritual journey. In other traditions, such as folk Catholicism, devotees call upon him for familial harmony and happiness. Archangel Barachiel is primarily recognised in the Eastern churches. The celebration of angels takes a prominent place within the liturgical calendar in the Eastern Christian tradition.
Archangel Barachiel, the Healer
One of the key areas of healing attributed to Archangel Barachiel is emotional well-being and relief from anxiety. Those who seek Barachiel’s intercession often do so with the hope of finding solace and peace of mind. Barachiel provides comfort and helps to clear the clouds of worry and fear, infusing the heart instead with good cheer. He is an angel of laughter.
Healing of Foot Ailments
As the Guardian of the Zodiac sign of Pisces, Archangel Barachiel is also associated with healing of the feet. You can turn to him for help with conditions and pain in the feet that are difficult to diagnose. However, please do not do this in place of seeking help and a proper diagnosis from a registered health professional.

Protection for the Journey: 7 of Swords
In a more challenging aspect of the spread, the 7 of Swords represents deception and dishonesty. The card addresses a current and real problem you’re facing. This is due to a Russian site scraping your content, violating your copyright, and infringing upon your intellectual property. Archangel Barachiel is called upon for his protection to help you navigate through this infringement, strategise to protect your work and seek justice. You are reminded to be vigilant and take concrete steps to safeguard your assets.
