Welcome, April 2024!
This month, we may feel and experience the energies of completion, devotion, endurance, mastery, renewal, and stability. However, it is important to remain mindful when fears of inadequacy creep in during this lunar cycle. Pay close attention to what comes through for you and don’t push these feelings down, as you will only be able to truly heal once you begin to ‘inner-stand’ the root cause of your problems. Embrace these feelings and step into the complete renewal process.
We have all been gifted with the most wondrous tool–the human body–which was designed to be able to self-correct and self-heal. Did you also know that, except for the brain, eyes, and heart, every single cell in our body renews itself every seven years? This means that at the ages of 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, and 98 (and if we are blessed, even longer), we all have brand-new and healthy cells flowing through our bodies. The average adult male has around 36 trillion cells in their body, while average adult females have 28 trillion, so it is important to provide our bodies with the right fuel (nourishment) throughout our lives, regardless of what biological age we currently are. Spirit suggests utilizing this month to reconnect to the inner wisdom of your own body. Trust in what resonates for you, observe what happens, and then witness the miracle of what your body does to help it and you thrive!
This month’s playlist give your cells the support they need to help you with your own inner and outer rejuvenation process. Listening to this playlist will help you energetically process the frequencies of the month in a fun way, as I have added some energy healing and support directly into the music.
The first retrograde of2024 has finally arrived! On April 1st, Mercury goes retrograde in Aries and will once again go direct on April 25th. Keep in mind that the post-show phase of Mercury Retrograde will last until May 21st. So when we think of Mercury Retrograde as an uncertain time, use the 8 weeks to review areas of your life that are craving your attention.
Take this time to have a conversation with the self and spirit and take the steps as you are guided.
Here are some other essential things to look out for this month:
April 8th – New Moon & Total Solar Eclipse in Aries
The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere. This is the perfect time to proceed slowly with care and caution, and you are bound to see offerings of abundance and luck in your life.
A total solar eclipse will occur on April 8th. This happens when the moon completely blocks the Sun, revealing the Sun’s beautiful outer atmosphere known as the corona. This is a rare event for viewers in the United States. The last total solar eclipse visible in the continental United States occurred in 2017 and the next one will not occur until 2045. The path of totality will begin in the Pacific Ocean and move across parts of Mexico, the Eastern United States, and Nova Scotia. The total eclipse will be visible in parts of Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Even if you can’t see this were you are, you will certainly feel it. We recommend, even if this eclipse is visible in your area to not look at due to the energy that this eclipse produces.
April 22nd/23rd – Lyrids Meteor Shower
The Lyrids is an average shower, usually producing about 20 meteors per hour at its peak. The shower runs annually from April 16th to 25th.It peaks this year on the night of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd. These meteors can sometimes produce bright dust trails that last for several seconds. Unfortunately, the glare of the full moon will block out all but the brightest meteors this year. But if you are patient, you may still be able to catch a few good ones. The best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight.
April 23rd – Full Moon in Scorpio
The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun, and its face will be fully illuminated. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Pink Moon because it marked the appearance of the moss pink. This moon has also been known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Growing Moon, and the Egg Moon. Many coastal tribes called it the Fish Moon because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn. Pluto will be at play with this moon, so the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) may find this moon difficult as Pluto encourages changes, and the fixed signs, by nature, have a unique relationship with change. All signs should try to go with the flow and move their body with this Full Moon.
“Reshaping life! People who can say that have never understood a thing about life—they have never felt its breath, its heartbeat—however much they have seen or done. They look on it as a lump of raw material that needs to be processed by them, to be ennobled by their touch. But life is never a material, a substance to be molded. If you want to know, life is the principle of self-renewal, it is constantly renewing and remaking and changing and transfiguring itself, it is infinitely beyond your or my obtuse theories about it.” – Boris Pasternak
