Welcome to this month’s general card reading. I hope that it will resonate with those of you who read it and you will find it helpful.

Cards duplicated in the last 6 months:

January, February, March and April – 8 of Swords

November, February and April – Knight of Pentacles

February and April – 6 of Swords

November, January and April – The Hermit

December, January and April – 3 of Cups

January and April – 7 of Wands

 

 

Unbelievably the 8 of Swords has appeared for the fourth month running indicating that we are still feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place and, whatever we do, someone is going to get upset.   The February energies of dealing with the mundane things of life and being compassionate and understanding towards others points towards a mainly reflective month!  This is backed up by the January energies of taking time to be alone, starting new projects and working hard to keep improving ourselves and our projects.

 

As we start off this month we are being asked to make an effort to look after ourselves.  This can be about starting new hobbies, watching our diet and exercise and saving some money.  If we do this we will be better prepared for the month, and indeed the year, ahead.

The first part of April comes with the feeling that our dreams are about to come to fruition.  We could be experiencing peace and tranquillity and be filled with the knowledge that we know where our hearts lie and our direction going forward.  However, saying that, not everyone is going to be as enthusiastic as we are and some people could be a bit upset by the route we are proposing to take.  We, therefore, need to be transparent and honest with the people who will be affected by our choices and get them on our side if we can.  Otherwise, we could likely feel very stuck and unable to move forward in pursuit of our dreams, because we will be surrounded by grumpy people who are extremely upset with us.

In the middle part of the month it will be a time of solitude and taking time out for ourselves. We need to learn the art of patience because everything happens at the right time and not before.  Some of us could be starting a new project with a person that we have just met, or we don’t know very well as yet.  This could equally be the start of a romantic relationship – it doesn’t have to be about business.   Our time of solitude and being patient will enable this person to enter our lives at exactly the right moment as we won’t have been trying to force any situation around us.

Towards the end of April we are going to have a lot of work to do.  We will be fired up to improve ourselves, our projects and be prepared to work hard in order to keep ahead of the game.  Imagination and energy will be in abundance and there will be a feeling of knowing our road and having a lot of enthusiasm and excitement about our journey ahead.

As we come to the end of the month we will look back and realise that our spiritual journey has progressed due to how we have conducted ourselves during the month.  Going with the flow, being transparent with our loved ones and letting the energy build during the earlier parts of April so that we have the energy to really get moving when the final 10 days arrive.  Taking time in reflection will ensure that we are going in the right direction, led by the Universe and not by our egos.

Our luck throughout the month is paying attention to the little things in life.  Making sure the bills are paid, outstanding projects are completed, looking after our finances as well as our bodies.  This isn’t a month of high energy and drama – it is best spent in quiet contemplation, being thoughtful towards others and embracing patience.  A bit like the calm before the storm where, by being contemplative, we will evolve the inner strength needed for the times ahead when we will be much more driven to get things done.

I wish you an introspective April that enables you to increase your inner and outer strength which will stand you in good stead for the future and whatever it brings.
