The person born under the influence of Séheiah

Lenain credits the person born under his influence with “a great deal of judgment”: they act only with prudence and circumspection. The angel, in his entry, protects against fires, collapses, and falls.

This portrait joins two ideas that go together, vigilance and shelter. It reflects the temperament of someone who checks before leaving, rereads before sending, plans a fallback without giving up the trip. This prudence is not fear; it often lets others commit with peace of mind, because someone thought about what could go wrong.

Why invoke this angel

Lenain indicates that people turned to Seheiah from 9:00 to 9:20 in the morning, with a verse of a psalm, and calls him a protector against thunder, fire, and falls. His attribute, cited above, is a traditional name: Versana attributes no power over the body to this angel.

The opposing angel

The opposing angel, according to Lenain, rules over catastrophes and inspires people who never think before acting. The lesson remains current: haste costs more than waiting. Vigilance has its excess too, when the urge to foresee everything keeps you from deciding; good judgment knows when it has seen enough.

Three roles according to Lenain

  • For the body

    Born from August 2 to August 6

    Angel of your five-day period, Seheiah watches, in Lenain’s reading, over your physical side through prudence: a keen sense of concrete dangers, from the slippery path to the misplaced object. You like safe places and controlled gestures.

  • For speech

    Born on April 16, June 27, September 7, November 18, January 29

    Angel of your day, he makes your speech measured: you think before answering, and your advice carries all the more weight. People readily come to ask your opinion before launching in.

  • For the soul

    Born between 09:00 and 09:20

    Angel of your hour, Seheiah gives the mind a taste for circumspection: looking at a situation from every angle before choosing. Your soul finds peace when everything is in its place.

A question to ask yourselfWhich decision are you putting off out of prudence, and what are you really missing to make it?

One small stepBefore an important decision, write the worst, the likely, and the best case on a sheet of paper, then decide.

Tradition reported from Lenain (1823): a mirror for reflection, never a prediction or a promise.
