As I’ve mentioned last month, the energies surrounding us right now are very abrasive. You may have noticed that people are cutting with their words, and arguments may have surrounded your relationships. It is best to lay low right now, as “smooth sailing” is not on the horizon.

No need to worry, because the energies will be shifting mid month to a more flowing dynamic. This month focuses on our emotions rather than on career and financial decisions. April is not the best month to set the latter into place, because of the erratic energies that are surrounding everyone’s emotions.

People may not be rational right now. There is also a pattern of not following through with business promises made. If you have a hired a company to do work for you, do not expect it to be done on time. Most important deadlines may not be met this month. Meditation and alone time is extremely beneficial to the overworked mind. Even if you are a “people person”, it is best to tune in to your personal needs this month. Get a massage, relax with music and cook a meal at home. Spend time with a loved one, but don’t engage in too much cerebral discussion. It’s time to just BE, and perhaps be alone. Make your environment as relaxing to the mind as possible, and just sit.

Personal development and self care should be the focal point this month. You have probably let yourself go over the past few months, whether that be diet, nutrition, exercise, or just plain nurturing. It’s a great time to buy new clothes, and to get outside in nature. Gardening will help connect you to the earth if you are feeling imbalanced. All in all, don’t expect too many major changes this month and try not to make an impulsive decisions. This month is great for planning! So plan some vacation time instead!
