For people new to the community, you can join my eList HERE to be kept in the loop. I usually send out the APRIL Monthly Missive during the first week of the month, but if/when things come up in-between, you may get the occasional additional email to alert you to events or classes that are time-sensitive.

4/13 • Mars (actions & desires) ~conjunct~ Neptune (dreams & visions):
This energy invites you to trust your intuition and follow Its guidance as you initiate a new cycle of creativity & spirituality. If you are currently focused on your bigger aspirations, it offers a surge of energy & imagination. It is time to broaden your perspective and indulge in some playful or artistic exploration. Rather than pushing your physical limits, engage your imagination fully by exploring or dreaming about the future. How well do you do with your action, fearlessness, passion & desire nature? If you resist these aspects of your nature, this energy will be tough to navigate. This energy reminds us that effectiveness is more important than speed in most cases, so watch what gets you fired up and direct it consciously, be pro-active rather than re-active, use your imagination every chance you get and embrace opportunities to improvise. Be gentle & compassionate with your Self & others, honoring all wherever they may be on their chosen Path.

4/13 • Venus (relationships & finances) ~sextile~ Jupiter (expansion & optimism):
This energy amplifies your connections, whether personal or professional, enabling you to elevate the vibration & potential of those relationships to their own natural next level. In personal interactions, the atmosphere is sociable, light & fun. In professional or public settings, interactions flow more smoothly as people are relaxed, open-minded & enthusiastic about sharing or exchanging ideas. This energy sparks our inherent optimism and a positive mindset, making it an opportune time to broaden your knowledge base and sharpen your skills in a way that enhances your value to the team. You will carry the frequency of success & abundance. It is a good time to cultivate a strong connection to your instincts and be more confident in your interactions with others. Cultivate community & connection and watch the expansion of your joy and a major increase of your magnetism under this influence. These are the two “benefactors” getting together to create an “opportunity” of some kind – don’t miss out!

4/14 • Mercury (ideas, thoughts & concepts) ~sextile~ Uranus (awakening & radical change):
This energy encourages embracing change and doing things in a new & different way, as you adjust to the new normal for right now. This is an opportunity to gain traction with your ideas, navigate positive shifts and shake things up in a beneficial manner. However, if the idea of new or different feels overwhelming & chaotic rather than uplifting & invigorating, it may signal a need for introspection to assess any mental rigidity or holding onto old ideas that have run their course. Resisting the current of change could exacerbate challenges associated with this energy, like being scattered & indecisive. Now is also an opportune moment to address recurring issues or long-standing obstacles, as ignoring them will not lead to their resolution. If you have been stuck in repetitive patterns, consider embracing fresh perspectives and alternative approaches. Be alert to new ideas & choices that may present themselves during this time, because of your *Awakened* perspective. Stay open to unexpected opportunities, events & concepts, and allow space for spontaneous creativity & unusual insights to guide you. Embrace the possibility of veering off your intended or usual path to explore new ideas, rhythms or environments – anything to stimulate inspiration & imagination.

4/14 • Mercury Enters ARIES (until 5/2):
Mercury is finally done with the deep emotional processing, developing creative vision & renewing your faith as it lingered in Pisces. Now that it is moving into Aries, take your time, but know that information & choices are forthcoming that you will have to navigate. Mercury moving through Aries tends to make us think more instinctively. This is a mixed blessing. On one hand, you can take in a lot of information and easily sort & sift it all based on what your immediate needs are but on the other hand, it can make you jump the gun without thinking things all the way through because you are reacting instead of responding. Reacting comes from the Head, while Responding comes from the Heart. It is best to use this energy to dig into your own ideas & personal motivations – WHY do you want what you want? Why are you thinking the way you do? What is motivating your ideas, thoughts & concepts? Also, because it is Spring, it is time to think about which ideas will best serve your personal needs & professional goals in the coming year so it is another one of those times when I remind you that you this kind of self-centeredness is not based in ego but is essential to how you make your choices & decisions in everyday life. If you do not look out for your own ideas and/or personal needs, then who will? You can also keep in mind that Libra energy balances out Aries energy, so make sure that your new ideas create win/win situations where your needs are met and you are still being of service to others in a meaningful way.

4/16 • Mars (desire & action) ~sextile~ Pluto (purification & transformation):
This energy activates the interplay between your lower will & Higher Will. Mars, representing the Sacred Masculine within, empowers you to act in alignment with your true self & aspirations. Pluto ensures that your actions stem from a place of purity at the Soul level, often requiring a shedding of superficial layers accumulated from the previous cycle. Fortunately, this alignment is not fraught with negative implications but rather serves as an opportunity to delve into your deepest desires and address any obstacles hindering their fulfillment. It is crucial to note that individuals who are disconnected from their authentic selves may experience more internal turmoil when Mars & Pluto come together, even in a harmonious aspect like this one. This potent fusion of energy offers a chance for significant progress, yet meaningful advancement also demands conscious effort and perhaps even some kind of personal, conscious sacrifice. With Pluto’s influence, this sacrifice may involve relinquishing preconceived notions and any attachment to the outcome. While your desires will manifest, they may not necessarily materialize in the manner or look like you initially envisioned. Therefore, it is essential to remain attuned to the innate essence & emotional impact of your desires rather than fixating on their appearance or physical form. You always want to set your intentions, do the work, then allow Spirit to breathe LIFE into the vision.

4/16 • Mercury (communication & self-expression) ~conjunct~ Neptune (imagination & spirituality):
This activation is a mixed blessing, but either way, it marks a significant initiation of a new level of faith & inner wisdom. It has the potential to foster miracles, inspiration, artistic endeavors & creative explorations. Personally, I find it conducive to initiating a profound dialogue with the Divine, your Higher Self, and the essence of your Soul. As with any initiation, it demands a prior completion. With Mercury’s influence, it is an opportune moment to expand your mental horizons, diving into deeper realms of thought. I encourage inviting the wisdom of your Ancestors, Orishas, Angels & Animal Spirit Guides to offer guidance & answers during this period. Their counsel often resonates more deeply than that of the people around you. However, when dealing with mundane matters or engaging in honest conversations that require transparency from both parties, be cautious. The influence of Neptune might create haziness & confusion. Dealing with Neptune requires good boundaries and an awareness of which side of the veil you are on, ensuring alignment with the natural order (3D versus 5D). This energy tends to distort reality, making you believe that you are expressing yourself clearly while others might feel entirely confused. Sometimes, silence is more impactful than risking being misunderstood.

4/17 • ARIES New Moon:
This is an annual Initiation of the New You, the New Year and a brand New Beginning that is available for those who choose the New, leave the Old/Past behind and bravely step into the new possibilities being offered by some powerful new energies. This is also an annual opportunity to release imbalances within ourselves and our relationships or environment, anything that is preventing the Aries/New Beginning from unfolding naturally.

If you consider Aries as the true beginning, then this first Seed Point is vital to the next 6-12 months of growth & expansion. It is truly time to close out and release anything no longer essential to your reality or evolution. The message is: Do not rush but neither should you postpone the new choices & decisions being presented at this time. This is the week to dedicate your Self to a New Identity & Purpose and develop it throughout Spring & Summer so that you can activate & ground something tangible by Fall Harvest.

If you did the requisite clearing with the Libra Full Moon (4/1), then a new personal cycle can truly begin, which is expanded even more by the presence of Saturn & Neptune recently entering Aries too. This Lunation offers an annual opportunity to check-in with your own internal balance and what will be required of you to truly anchor this emerging Identity & New Purpose. It may also reveal where more external balance is required for you to maintain relationships or agreements with others (or not). Most likely, some of both will manifest. Each month is building on the previous, in that, with the Pisces/Virgo Lunation, we got to go within and reset our internal systems and determine how much we could really handle while the Aries/Libra Lunation gives us the opportunity to reset the balance between self & other because next month’s Taurus/Scorpio Lunation will support the literal changes we need to make in order to go forward clean and in integrity with this New Beginning. Do your best to stay alert & present, especially when navigating with others, in relationship or community. Take some Me-Time because Aries Time is the once-a-year when it is all about YOU!

4/18 • Mercury (thinking & communication) ~sextile~ Pluto (purification & transformation):
This energy prompts a profound exploration into the ideas & information surfacing at this time, whether in personal or professional spheres. It urges you to delve deeper, posing challenging inquiries and seeking insights that possess greater depth than usual. Professionally or publicly, you might excel in meticulous pre-planning & due diligence. On a personal level, you are likely to delve even further into your own mental patterns & personal history, discerning how they may have led to your present circumstances or consciousness. As certain connections are revealed and fresh perspectives possible, they will solidify, anchoring you more firmly in your own truth. The exhilaration of these “ah-ha” moments might inspire you to share them with others. However, exercise discernment as not everyone may be receptive or equipped to process such profound insights. Consider wisely the timing & audience before sharing your awakening or revelations.
