Barbara’s Tree
Barbara you mention this is what a tree feels like at the moment – you are clearly in intuitive person your use of purple and blue confirms this.  You are also open and honest, and insightful.

Your tree looks like  an arrangement which you would expect to see in a vase.  Have you taking the best “cuttings” from your life and put them together to rebuild something new and better?

If we start from the bottom and explore the drawing you will see that there are no roots – merely a collection of very delicate stems.  Right at the centre of the stems you have used red which suggests passion – have you got new ideas which you are passionate about developing or taking forward?  As it is a light red you have used you may be in the early stages of this idea or project.

The tree trunk represents the spine or the main structure of the tree which takes the nourishment upwards and downwards – so you can see at the moment you do not have this in place.  There is in the background some blue pen strokes which could suggest a trunk – but they do not have enough definition yet  to provide the support you need.  However it looks like   you are already intuitively  looking for ways to bring strength and support  to your ideas.

Your leaves are plentiful – there is a great deal of potential abundance here.  The use of purple demonstrates your spiritual connections however there are traces of red  which suggests that you have had to sacrifice a lot to get to this point in your life.  There is no detailing on your leaves and this would indicate that you like to be spontaneous and  flow and are less concerned with fine  detail – its just not important to you and that’s absolutely ok!

Your angelic guidance is to create the strong support mechanism your tree needs to grow and flourish.  Ask Archangel Sandalphon and Gabriel  to help you build the strong roots and trunk you need to manifest your ideas into reality.

Beatrice's Tree

This is a beautiful tree.  The detail is exquisite and reflects your ability to create beauty and order in your life. 
You are very solid and grounded - just look at the strength of your trunk – though you have had to be accommodating and flexible.  See the way it flows.

The flowers show that you are contented and feel your life is happy.   You are self contained, see the way the green is solid.  The green also demonstrates that you have an open healing heart.

There has been a wound in your past, shown by the hole in the tree, but this is healing now, possibly because you are giving life and shelter to others, indicated by the two ducklings.  Possibly these are children who are helping you heal the past, for they look to you for succour, see the way the birds are moving towards your centre. 

There is more space given to the tree on the right hand side and the branches reach out more, suggesting that you are letting go of the past and reaching towards the future.

This is a magical tree.  It has an innocence demonstrated by the birds and flowers which enables you to guide and support children well.
Angelic guidance is to open up more to the world around you, especially the spiritual help that is available and express your magical side.

Roxanne's Tree

You are very strong and powerful and very solidly grounded in a number of subjects, just look at that trunk.  The base of the tree is narrower than the trunk – there is a suggestion of roots – however given the size of the trunk the root you would expect the roots to be more visible and powerful.  Both these factors emphasise that you do not feel supported at the moment.

You send out ideas very enthusiastically for the branches are full of energy and life force.  However you are not fulfilling your potential indicated by that trunk which could carry much stronger branches and they could spread well beyond the page, which is your space. 
The branches are leaning to the right or the left but none are going up towards the spiritual.  Those on the right, which is the future or to do with men in your life, are not growing fully.  They seem constricted. 

In addition attention to detail is important for you.  This is indicated in the amount of detail in the leaves and shading.  However this is stopping you from branching out.  The branches are almost invisible on this tree.

You have plenty of vitality but some of the leaves are going yellow as if those aspects of you have had their time.  One leaf is falling…. Are you losing something or someone from your past.

Angelic guidance is to prioritise your life so you have time and space for the important things and develop those.

Melanie's Tree

The first thing I see is the hole in the tree and the blank space below it.  The hole demonstrates an unhealed trauma or hurt right in the centre of your life, though possibly unacknowledged, and the blank at the bottom indicates that there is underlying stuff which you don’t want to recognise.  Also on the left, the past, your branch is off the page, out of your conscious awareness.

Although you look solid and strong you are also delicate.  Your energy is blocked in a number of places, see the blobs on the branches and gaps.  In the middle right top, an energy block is stopping you reaching fulfilment and the lines above are tangled, indicating confusion.  The gap on the right does not stop you from reaching into the future but it diminishes the foliage, or happiness.   

Your tree reaches right to the top of the page, so that you have no room to grow.  When you make space your life will really blossom.
Your angelic guidance is to heal the underlying challenges of your life, then you will feel more grounded, stronger and happier.  It will give you the opportunity to fulfil your life’s destiny.

Cissi’s Tree

It is interesting to note that you use an alias for the name of your tree – as the tree itself has 2 very distinct and contrasting aspects to it.
The trunk of your tree is tall and upright and your branches are almost serpent like – which suggest a very deep and powerful mystical feminine energy - indicated by the black shading.  Serpents also represent transformation and healing and this is what is happening for you now.

Your tree stands out because it is different and as it represents aspects of you it is likely that there have been many times in your life where you may have been misunderstood or did not fit in because you are unconventional.  This has made you strong, resilient and independent.  However the bottom branch on the left side is pointing downwards and backwards and looks very much like and arm reaching out for support and reassurance. You are not afraid to ask for help if you need it and you recognise this is a sign of strength.

The lowest branch on the right side starts much further down the tree – did you have to grow up very quickly?  Was it a struggle to start with? – it looks like you  needed to develop strong muscle to support your journey.  You can see the end of this branch is reaching up powerfully into the future and you now have the faith in yourself to move forward.

The blue/ green leaves on your tree are ethereal which indicates that you are just starting to discover aspects of your own spirituality – and you are not yet ready to share this with others until you have understood and integrated them.

Marjo your angelic guidance is ask Archangel Jophiel to help you open your crown chakra to help you integrate the spiritual aspects of your being.  As you allow this to take place you will transform and blossom.

Libby's Tree

The first thing that struck me was the vibrancy of the tree and the figure which represents you.  You are looking back into the past and most of the tree is on the left, the side of the past.  It is sheltering you and almost rooting you in the past.  The branch curves down over you and you are merging with the trunk and the roots which are very strong and deep.

Your shoe is red, indicating energy as if you are ready to move.  Your hair is your strength and shows you are very strong indeed.  It is coloured in the same shades as the huge trunk of your tree which emphasises this.  You have strongly marked your mouth and jaw, which suggests you have a lot to say and are perhaps holding it back (your mouth is shut and jaw red).  Also you look as if you are wearing blue sunglasses which suggests you do have wisdom and insight into your situation.  Your hands are clasped, so that your heart energy is held rather than going out into the world.

A rabbit is often considered to be a warm, cuddly feminine energy and it is hopping towards you to help you.  This indicates that you know there is love and support for you.  The rabbit also represents fun and play which is important to the healing process – and it has one ear bent towards you indicating that that aspect of you is listening to what you need.

The most important thing in the drawing is the fact that you have so much potential and vitality which you are not accessing and which is probably frustrating you.  You can see this from the amount of the tree which is off the page, for this is what you do not have room for in your life. 

Your angelic guidance is that it is time to look to the future and build up your life again.  You have the strength and inner reserves to do so now.

Susan's Tree

The most beautiful blue colour suggests that you have a lot to communicate and the pink as you branch out, indicates that it comes from the heart.  Your outline is well defined so other people see you as having a lot of strength.

There is a hole and a cut off branch right in the centre of your life, which your unconscious mind has drawn to your attention so that you give it healing.

You are nurturing and give a lot to others as indicated by the birds on the branch on the left, your feminine side.  Although your tree  is strong the branches are very delicate – the branch which is holding the bird house does not look strong enough to support it – the cut off branch looks as if it was the strong and supporting influence for you which has now gone.

And while you do have some leaves, the main impression is that your life is about giving and you do not receive much.  Your tree is almost bare.  Most of the leaves you do have are pointing upwards which suggests you do listen to your spiritual guidance but perhaps do not believe it enough to enable the branches to grow and your tree (yourself) to blossom.

Your angelic guidance is to do things which give you a sense of satisfaction, have lots of fun and receive help from others.  Then your life will blossom.

Sharon’s Tree

Your tree shows that you have great strength of character, your trunk and branches are strong dynamic and resilient.  Right in the centre of your trunk there is a trauma which is represented by the 3 circles.  At some point your self esteem and confidence have taken a big knock.  The dot in the centre suggests that there is still some healing work to be done on this.

Your branches and leaves show that you have a lot of inspirational ideas – they are bursting with activity and   potential.  The fruit on your tree represents abundance in your life at the moment.    However it looks like you are finding it difficult to manage the potential you are creating – the orange border around the tree represents your need to ground and contain things.   In particular the left side of the tree which is the divine feminine aspect of you is struggling to stay within the limits of the page.

The deep blue colour on the branches and the bird in the centre is your intuition which is powerful at the moment – there is a sense of excitement as you recognise new opportunities but are unsure how to integrate them fully – hence the fact your tree does not seem to have roots.

The blue around the tree and the blue green at the bottom of the tree are communication and healing colours – you have acknowledged their presence and your potential to use this energy more effectively for yourself and others.

Your picture shows your amazing resilience and potential – your angelic guidance is to take the time daily to sit quietly, and  meditate – ideally spending time in nature and allow your ideas to root.  Call apon Archangels Uriel, Sandalphon and Raphael to help you

Claudia’s Tree

Your tree is grey which indicates sadness but now it is becoming vibrant green, showing new life and potential – and red flowers are coming up, bringing a new life force and vitality.  The tree is reaching up as high as it can, as if you have stretched up as far as you can and are now impatient.  However you are a little stuck because you have not dealt with the underlying stuff in your life, demonstrated by the space beneath the tree.  When you have done this you can fulfil all your potential. 

You have spent a great deal of time making this tree abundant and have done your very best to support your own development and vision and this is something you need to honour and recognise in yourself.

The little cat at the foot of the tree is patiently waiting for something to change – she is facing into the past with a powerful gaze.  This also indicates that something needs to be resolved before you can move on.  Notice how much you have emphasised her ears – are you fed up listening to what others are saying or needing?  Do you feel that you are being held back by what people in your life think of you?  Her mouth is firmly shut – almost zipped closed – suggesting that you do not say what you really feel.

You do have roots on your tree which means that you are practical and grounded – your roots are spreading into the future – suggesting that you still have a level of faith and optimism. The beautiful vibrant red flowers on the right – red is passion – say that your dreams are still alive (albeit that they are in the future) – the flowers are reaching upwards.  The brown in the flowers indicate that your vision or passion is firmly grounded – notice  how your roots have expanded far enough to give additional support your flowers.

Your angelic guidance is to connect with Archangel Michael who will help you move forward with clarity, leadership & vision and Archangel Raphael who will help to bring the abundance and healing to support your journey.

Mary’s Tree

This is a very interesting tree.  The trunk and the branches are very strong powerful and yet the tree has a calm and gentle energy  – the gold and orange colours used to shade in the trunk and branches indicate you  a very wise being. 

There is a major trauma in the trunk which suggests a problem (perhaps health) which is still ongoing.  You have drawn this like an eye trying to see the future.  This is backed up by the fact that the healing blue does not reach fully to the right of the page, indicating you can’t see beyond that point.  To the left the blue reaches to the edge of the page and is contained.  However the purple lines radiating out from the trauma shows that you can see a higher purpose in what has happened.

Although the tree branches into 4 there is a distinct division to the left and right showing a balance between the masculine and feminine energy.  The masculine branches are visible indicating you are also a practical person.  The branches are so powerful that they suggest you want people to see you as very strong while the healing blue is hidden behind your strong personality.

The leaves on the tree look more like a beautiful blue/green cloud or mist which you are moving your branches into – you are entering the realms of new possibilities here – however as yet they do not have clear form or structure.  You are at the start of a new phase and are open to new and creative ideas.

You can recognise the unlimited potential and because of this have struggled to contain your tree within the confines of the page.

The tree is not grounded in fact it looks as if it is stretching out and lifting upwards – deliberately uprooting itself.   As well as there does not seem to be any other support in this drawing – perhaps you feel alone or do not have any support at the moment.  Notice how faint your signature is in this drawing.  It is also at the far right of the page (the future) indicating that although you have strength insight and power you are unsure of your identity as you are moving into a new phase.  

Your angelic guidance is to ask your angels to help you find the loving guidance, healing and support which will allow you to move forward with confidence and vision.

Gail’s Tree

The beautiful colours used in this tree suggest that you have a strong and powerful connection with nature and goddess energy – this is a tree in harvest.

You are aware of your gifts and talents and you offer them openly to others.  The branches to the right and the left are reaching far out which indicates that you know who you are and are confident in your abilities.

Your tree has a clear structure and is well balanced and these things are important to you.  Your trunk is tall and this suggests that you have worked hard to create the abundant harvest you now have.  There is an indentation half way up the left side of the trunk – creating a curve almost like a waist – this may have been a point in your life where you have had to “tighten your belt” or change direction and this has made you independent.

This tree is abundant with fruit however there are 3 key factors related to this:
1. On the lower 4 branches of your tree the fruit is at the ends of the branches
2. The upper 2 branches has fruit along the full length  
3. Much of your harvest is scattered on the ground

These factors would suggest that there are aspects of your work that no longer satisfies’ you or are no longer financially viable.
The fact that the top 2 branches are still in powerful fruition but are limited by the top of the page indicates that you have new potential which needs to space to grow and develop.  This is further emphasised by the fact that your tree roots on the right hand side (the future) are missing – perhaps you are unclear of the future or what your next steps are?  However the clear blue sky in the background is a sign that you know you can overcome any challenges you face.

Your angelic guidance is to connect with Archangel Metatron who will guide and support the highest vision for your future pathway.

Tina’s Tree  You mention that you have been drawing the same tree since you were a child and this tree certainly holds a beautiful child like purity and innocence which you still have.  Your tree is up in the air – literally – and it would appear judging from the way you have emphasised the lines at the bottom of your tree that your roots have been fractured or deliberately disconnected – which means that your tree is ungrounded. Perhaps something happen early on in your childhood to uproot you and make you feel vulnerable or unsafe?  This is further highlighted by the use of a double line around your tree branches and tree roots.  Do you feel that you have to be very sure of things before you take decisions?  You have used the colour turquoise for this and this is the colour of communication which suggests that when you do speak you do so with an openness and clarity.  However your drawing suggests that you do not find it easy to share your true feelings easily with others.

There is abundance in your life which is represented by the fruit in the tree. Your fruit has been carefully placed which suggests that you like order and structure – the use of the colour pink indicating that you need to be nurtured and honoured. 

There are also 5 pieces of fruit at the base on the right hand side – which relates to your masculine energy.   The number 5 is a dynamic number – the number of the traveller – adventurous, persuasive, versatile and adaptable – is this aspect of you now ready to be acknowledged and explored?

The beautiful bird in the tree is facing into the past – there are no branches to support her – however she has an energy of purity and spiritual wisdom that at the moment does not have an outlet.  The 2 birds in the sky look like they are watching over the tree - perhaps 2  key people in your life who have now passed over or 2 spirit guides?

Your angelic guidance is to ask Archangel Michael, Chamuel and Raphael to help you to explore ways in which you can create a powerful loving and grounded base to allow you to develop your spiritual gifts.

Diana’s Tree

This is an amazing tree – which shows that you have strong connections will both heaven and earth energy.  Your roots are firmly grounded into Lady Gaia – the pink energy of her love clearly nourishes your roots.  The colours you have chosen in your drawing indicate that nature this is very important in your life.

However it looks like this tree is now being held back by the roots – instead of grounding – your roots look like they are so powerful that they are stopping you moving.  They look like they are taking nourishment from your tree making it appear ethereal – does it feel like you are stuck or being held back at the moment?

There is a major trauma at the base of your tree which looks as if it stems from early childhood.  Notice how it has narrowed down the trunk and made it appear delicate and vulnerable – the top part of your trunk does not look strong enough to hold up the branches.  The branches on the left side look much stronger than those of the right.  The left side relates to our divine feminine, intuitive and creative abilities and you have a strong connection with those aspects of yourself.  You only have 1 branch on the right hand side of the page – the masculine logical aspects – notice how weak this branch looks in comparison.  Have you struggled to make your way in the world?  The branch reaches out well into the future but is dipping down at the end – do you truly believe in your abilities to manifest your dreams?  Is this something you need to work on?

Your tree has an abundance of leaves and flowers – the green and pink showing that you have an open heart and has much love to share.

Your sky is indigo – the colour of intuition and the stars are shining down on your tree.  However your stars are ethereal – your guiding star (which is the large one on the right hand side) is shining down into the future rather than the present – an indication that something needs to change for you to be in your full power.

Is there a belief you have about yourself that is rooting you and stopping your progress?

Your angelic guidance is to call upon Archangel Jophiel to give you the higher wisdom and clarity you need and Archangel Uriel to break any emotional chains or beliefs which may be holding you back.
