April’s Tarot Reading
Welcome to April! It’s Eclipse season, Mercury Retrograde, Tax season, Aries season…oh boy.… Buckle up folks because things are going to be interesting to say the least. So what do we need to know? Let’s ask the cards and find out.
Greet everything with a sense of fairness, even when the people or situations you may be dealing with are not fair. By letting Justice guide you, you will be able to shed light on some things that otherwise might be hidden by clouded vision. This means don’t play favorites, let your dislike of something get the best of you, or allow yourself to live within the statement “ignorance is bliss.” Things are coming to light for a reason and the only thing you can do is be just and know that the only way out is through. Being able to face obstacles and other uncomfortable situations that way will help connect you to your virtue and promote growth. It will also help bring about change, create new beginnings, and help cut the cords from things that do not serve you.
There are going to be some heated moments where we are tempted to lose our patience or pick a fight. I know it is easier said than done, but don’t. Just don’t. There is nothing positive on the other side of an argument right now. Try your best to avoid them throughout Mercury Retrograde especially. If you can’t avoid it or people won’t let you avoid it, this may be a sign that there needs to be changes in the relationship between you and these people.
Profound messages wait for you in the stars. To some of you, this may mean that you need to turn to astrology right now to gain insight on what is going on and how you need to navigate things. If this speaks to you I suggest reading up on the planetary happenings and how this may relate to your birth chart. For other people, the stars' message may come from literally lying out under the night sky. Lay a blanket out, spray yourself with some rose or jasmine water, and allow this to be time for you to clear your head and simply be open to receive. Take a journal or your Book of Shadows and record your thoughts, message, and other divine epiphanies.
This season really does bring a "get up and go" energy to many people. Take this energy and apply it toward existing goals and projects. Write down the thing you want to focus on this month and make a promise to yourself to stick to that one thing. Trying to do too much or giving yourself slack when you get distracted will not help you get ahead. Your motivation and self discipline will greatly help you in chipping away at tasks and adding to success in the bigger picture.
Overall, this month may be intense but if we navigate it correctly we can enjoy the ride ahead. Keep your head down and tend to your own business. Bite your tongue when you can and lean in to change when you can’t. Take some time to go outside and meditate, opening yourself to the divine.
