April Collective Reading

Greetings, beloved!

We are coming out on the other side of eclipse season, phewww. Neptune has made a major shift into Aries after being in Pisces for the last 14 years. We are going to see monumental shifts both in our personal and on the world stage. Every year I keep hearing "buckle up" and that's coming in once again.

Here's April's collective reading - as always, take what resonates and leave the rest. We're back to our regular "structure" of diving into the energy of April and the medicine (guidance) for the month, for helping to work with and/or integrate the active energy.

The Energy: La Fuerza / Strength

You've been through the fires during eclipse season. It's time to rise, come out on the other side. Step into your strength, embodied.

This is not an aggressive strength born from violence. No, this is strength from being anchored into the Sacred Heart. This is strength from being harmonized with the pure energy of the golden Earth Core. This is strength from knowing you are of the Divine, that you walk hand in hand with God, with Pachamama, and with all your relations of Higher Power. This is a centered strength, knowing your power and bearing it responsibly and with integrity. Being able to walk in this way requires one to be forged in the purifying fires. Purification of woundedness, victimhood and dreams that empower limitation. Many are undergoing this now. Many are stepping out from the fires, rising up like the phoenix.

It is time to open to and embody the strength of the Sacred Heart, after harmonizing hard lessons and engagements. Stand in true strength, rooted in purity and divine innocence, and also firmly rooted in the Earth. So that no matter the outer, nothing shakes you, and you can respond to life rather than react. You can choose and act from a place of discernment, truth, and purity of the heart.

The Medicine/Guidance: V de Espadas/V of Swords - Reversed & Passionflower

What remnants might remain from eclipse season? Or from the lessons of the past 14 years?? Are you still carrying something of the old? Are you still holding onto a resentment..towards yourself or another?

Now is the time to forgive the past. Holding onto these battles results in loss for all. Integrate the lessons so that you don't continue repeating the challenge in new ways. Choose forgiveness...choosing to forgive is key, then the process unfolds. It's time to forgive and forget, moving onto more constructive engagements of your energy. New life and dreams are awaiting! Time to choose growth. Turn to true Source and surrender. It is time to trust your discernment...this is why it's okay to "forgive and forget"...when you integrate the lessons from the painful past, you can lean into your embodied wisdom, rooted in the Divine, to discern moving forward. You don't need to meticulously remember all your trespasses so as to ensure you do not repeat them.

Passionflower is a plant aligned with Neptune. How synchronous, Neptune just moved into Aries for the first time since 1861. It's been hanging in the watery, dreamy, and sometimes illusory sea of Pisces for 14 years. You may be stepping into cleaning up some of those distortions and illusions of the past decade and a half. Passionflower is also a bridge to Christed Consciousness (the ways of the purified Sacred Heart), yet to move over that bridge, you cannot take resentments, woundedness, victimhood, aggression, trespasses with you. It's time to sacrifice - let go to make space for - so the new can come in. New dreams. This requires Strength (the theme and energy of the month!), of the heart and a will aligned with God. You're entering into times of heightened discernment with the path moving forward.

Having trouble letting go? You're being guided to engage in a letting go ritual or ceremony. Cut cords, work with fire, do a purification ritual. If you don't know what to do, find a practitioner who truly walks the walk and get to work! (Remember, there's a lot of guides out there still mired in their own illusions. discern discern discern.)

Blessings along the path, beloved.
