Moon also cautions to not let your fears or the irrational emotions of others overwhelm you, dragging back down stuck to the bottom of the bucket. You have a beautiful, unique and shining path to follow and are meant to strike out in a different way -let others be where they are.
Situation: The Stars
Obstacle: Fortune
Advice: The Moon
April 18th, 2021: “Following Your Star”
The Star announces you have role to fulfill in this cosmic play and should be ambitiously setting your sights higher to reach your greater potential. The Fortune card talks to the importance of fulfilling that destiny; the plan that was plotted in the Stars before you came to Earth. Illustrated in astrological or cosmology charts, we have certain personality traits, karmic habits, strengths, deficiencies & talents and it’s up to us to play the cards we have been dealt with in the most optimum way possible. It’s your responsibility to “connect the dots” and make all your aspects come together in a harmonious way thereby satisfying the Grand Plan for this Earthly life. Are you being too small minded about your potential? It warns against selling yourself short; settling for less would be heresy to a chart that can speak to greater ambitions. Despite the Star promising these inner treasures of unique talents & abilities; you may find it difficult to access them or even believe they are contained within you. They are! Fortune echoes the specialness of your path but self-doubt or feelings of discouragement can make it difficult to find direction or stay faithful to your purpose. Like a game of Hide & Seek, you need to know where they lie, find them & embrace them but negative thinking, unhealthy patterns of behavior or self-sabotage make these elusive. Fortune is telling you to have faith in yourself. These gifts are within your vicinity but it’s on you to discover them. Like the crab, you’ll not be able to meet these gifts head-on. Because they will not be obvious, you will have to approach them "sideways". The Moon tells us the answer lies within the realms of intuition & imagination -and to dive into the unconscious for clues to your inner development through the use of quiet reflection or meditation. Here you can gain access by listening to your heart hitting on the soft underbelly of whatever holds you back. This can be uncomfortable because Crab medicine and energy requires that you face fears and start to shine the light in dark places. The Moon also represents habits & responses, unconscious attitudes, patterns & past conditioning. What lies have you been telling yourself?
April 11th, 2021: “A Snap to Attention”
Perhaps they could generously assist by providing a much-appreciated gift. It also asks you to consider patterns in regard to money/relationships as you may have found yourself in this position a few times in the past. A new beginning presented by the AoS requires new energy, clarity and concentration. Until you examine the past, you will continue to float with its current thus repeating a self-sabotaging cycle. The 6 offers a return to innocence, if you have a willingness to learn and an optimism that things will get better as you progress in self-understanding.

You could be faced with an incoming conflict or challenge in regard to finances, relationships or health causing strife in your physical world as well as your emotional. This will be especially felt if you have been busy avoiding confronting anything that needed your attention or control. You may have been trying desperately to hold it together, keeping creditors at bay, living hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck and overextending yourself to the point of near ruin. There’s an overwhelming sense of being attacked from all sides, from multiple individuals in your life that you are at odds with. Faced now with the negative consequences of your inattention, it is a time of stress and there’s a need to pull together all of your resources. What has happened has already happened and you can’t change the past but a much-needed resolution can be at hand to bring an end to this rough patch. 10 of coins in reverse speaks to financial failure, damage your retirement or nest egg as well as any familial relationships you’d like to grow old with. There's a need to concentrate on building long term stability both in finances & family/home life because without a correction, you’ll be heading for big problems & hiccups later on in life. First, it starts with accepting current your circumstances of being in rough and choppy financial /relationship waters and recognizing the need for balancing your resources. In regard to finances, pay heed to the bottom line and get a clear picture on your financial state. Plan your finances accordingly, control your expenditures and increase your stream of income to create a solid foundation for your future. This requires focused attention as there is no more avoiding your circumstances -you have to come to a decisive action if any victory is to be obtained.
Your partnership should also be a priority, but with all the madness in other areas of your life, you are finding it hard to devote your attention to your loved ones. If you value them & want to keep them in your life as you go gray-Get honest!
Ace of Swords reminds you are always free to start over. This may mean cutting cords to the past (filing for bankruptcy, debt consolidation, changing bad habits of avoidance or neglect). Being courageous enough to face the truth of a bad situation by taking corrective action is always a double-edged sword. However, it can be inspiring to free yourself from past regrets. 6 of cups asks you to look to your family or perhaps a relative that you haven’t thought about in a while for help.
April 4th, 2021: “Starving for Silver, We Find Hidden Gold”
Our desires are determined by our view of ourselves and the world. Jealousy can cloud our heart and spirit making it difficult to feel joy for others’ good fortune or appreciate their accomplishments. Resentment leaves us empty & hollow within. It distorts how we view ourselves therefore we diminish our own abilities.
The blackness of this dark emotion could manipulate your self-perception and have you amplifying your weaknesses while ignoring your strengths. In fact, you may have turned your back on your value oblivious to their potential & actual importance. So not only are you denying yourself happiness, which is self-destructive, but you are starving others from benefiting from your gift. God/Universe gives us certain inborn talents, life circumstances, and physical possessions with which to fulfill our role in life. What is the purpose of these fine things if they are not used? Instead of craving, we can acknowledge & embrace these gifts. It’s your duty then, to unveil & release that potential inside you. What’s holding you back? Recognize & dim the light on your inner critic. Dust off an old idea that’s been hanging around or perhaps a new idea is waiting to be cultivated with some nourishment. Once the “lightbulb” goes on, you will realize you have been keeping something delightful from others-something very special & needed-a wonder that will be very much appreciated, respected & in demand.
So, you see there is no need to feel envy because you have your own talents within arm’s reach to fill yourself on -Rediscover what “you have to bring to the table”.
