The Signs of the Times Oracle is a reminder that crystals and angelic guidance are just some of the ways the Universe speaks to us-other times the messages are right in front of us. Maybe you simply get a big red stop sign in your face or a plastic bag that says, "Have a Nice Day" blows past. The yield sign as you turn onto the highway or the peace sign spray-painted on the wall across the street might go unnoticed as you wait for whispers from angels or guidance from ancestors.
