April 2024 Readings
Guidance for April 28 2024:
“The Light of Creation”
What needs to be nurtured: Amaterasu
What needs to be grieved: Vishnu
Where do you need to make a quantum Leap: Maitraya/ Greenman
“May you sacrifice focusing on being liked and instead commit to being real. May you speak honestly & directly instead of watering your opinions down. May you have the courage to be authentically you so the people who are your people can find you” -Laura Matsue
What needs to be nurtured: Amaterasu- Coming out of the closet and letting the true light of YOU shine. Overcoming the fear of expressing yourself in an authentic way and bringing your talents, gifts & voice into the world-the light of day-so others may bask in its radiance. This calls for honesty, promotion of hidden talents, and revealing whatever you’ve been holding back in fear of rejection or reprisal. Expose any secret idea you have been protectively nurturing in the dark. Once you come out with it, you may align with people who once they hear it, can help bring it to life.
What needs to be grieved: Vishnu -This sees you mourning past betrayals of truth that hamper your courage to put your neck out. Looking for validation before expressing and having guarantees that you are on the right path. Thinking that “I’ll only do it if I know it will be supported.” This need to feeling safe in your environment only to do so. Say good-bye to waiting for the perfect time or until your feel comfortable to expose yourself or come out into the open. Only a perfected being can walk on water, and that’s probably not you. Share them anyway, in all its imperfections. Let go of doubt, fear or skepticism or needing evidence that prayers are being answered, trusting that your talents will be accepted by the right others.
Where do you need to make a quantum Leap: Maitraya/ Greenman- Rebirth & resurrection lies on the other side of the jump. Creating is a natural human expression & unexpressed creative energy can ultimately destroy your life or at the very least make you extremely disagreeable. It festers, converting into a sort of poison that turns against us in a self-destructive way. Leap over being a fool for the validation of others, rather than for the pure joy of creating. Do what makes you happy, do something fun. These are the hobbies that you can get lost in for hours, that energize you. Hit the pause button on needless, self-imposed anxiety. Instead, let the happiness produced by creating carry you over the threshold into feeling comfortable with expressing who you truly are. Your life purpose brings you joy, and that is an indication of where you need to be. Alive, exciting & growing.

“Goal or Gaol”
A goal you wish to achieve is represented by the High Priestess-to learn or apply knowledge not readily understood by the masses. Taking this a step further, it is to utilize this acquired esoteric knowledge and wisdom to gain insight into behaviors, patterns, thoughts, or ways of life that you are completely unaware of. And like Tarot itself, it serves as a mirror, reflecting these subconscious actions back at us, making the unconscious conscious. Once you become mindful of it, it's impossible to be asleep to it. Here, she holds an offer for change and transition, an invitation to walk through the doorway from one state of being to another. Like the Hermit, this is a journey, a process that can only be made alone. But do you have what is necessary? Now, normally looking at the 9 of Swords, I would say no, but let's consider this a maybe at the moment. The 9 of Swords is an uncomfortable emotional and mental space to occupy. Caught in a pattern of anxiety and neurosis, it can indicate that you have reached a breaking point, ready to make a change to ease this pain. Finally tired of supporting your negative mental projections, of building worst case scenarios, or anything that has been impeding you from reaching your goals, you can shift your mindset by taking accountability. Stop ignoring advice, refusing to help yourself, staying stuck & do it once and for all. Bound by an inertia of your own making, this resistance to change will only prevent needed big transformations from happening. Nothing changes if nothing changes right? Revelations need not be painful, however. The Hermit, the sign of mystics or of being of service, says you have what is sufficient to enthusiastically inspire others with compassion & wisdom, if you can put yourself out there. You have developed, through research & analysis, a gift of being able to see beyond the façade. What good is the spiritual knowledge or intuitive insights on the deeper aspects of life if not shared? Don’t be afraid to face your inner demons fueling this stagnation.
*When drafting this reading, I had misspelled goal as gaol. I then realized Gaol is an outdated Irish/UK spelling for jail. So achieve a goal or remain in your old cell.
Goal you wish to achieve High Priestess
Do You Have what’s necessary? 9 of swords
Do You Have what’s sufficient? The Hermit
How can you shift that if there’s a no? 8 of Swords/Death reversed

“It’s Nearly Time to Plant"
This week signals the completion of a situation, the end of a cycle and entering a time of repair and integration. Comfrey helps mend something that has broken or drifted apart by bringing pieces & binding them together for improvement. If you want to start something new or change in anyway, you should be able to shortly. Prosperity, money, healing, and travel are highlighted. The World also speaks to integration & the fulfillment of a cycle as it represents the conception of a thing that creates massive amounts of nourishment. Something good is about to be planted for a future harvest-something created from your soul, spirit & body that will help you achieve balance by bringing & blending these parts together to work in union. It also speaks to becoming more involved by using a gift or talent in the world, actively being of service by sharing what you’ve cultivated with others. With the 4 of Swords reversed, we get further confirmation of becoming active again after renewing one’s energies & strength. The preparation phase is over, and the plans you’ve percolated over the last few months are ready to be brought forth and put into action. Very soon this created inspiration will be ready put into the ground by your own hands. That active, inner passion is chomping at the bit to be set loose, losing patience, and unable to wait any longer. By Mid-April-you’ll feel unable to tame the chained wild forces within yourself -might even be a bit cranky about it. However, you may have to wait a little bit longer as it suggests that you might not have all the necessary pieces or resources at the moment to fully move forward. Still, you should keep looking, as you will soon be free to go in any direction you please.

“Navigating the Liar's Path: Embracing Discernment over Deception”
Here we see the reemergence of the Liar, the theme for 2024, signifying distortions of truth & deception playing a central role in a narrative. Being played for a fool, distracted from what is really going on. The Libra lunar eclipse of last week may have served a wakeup call for all of us to examine our relationships, and how well we coexist with people who might have very different values and agendas than our own. The upcoming Aries solar eclipse will thereby reveal shadows, so be prepared for hidden truths and secrets to be exposed. Anything based on a lie, & no longer “meant to be” are swept away without notice. The weakened Knight of Vessels seeks to interact and help others by offering his knowledge & gift of diplomacy to solve conflicts. He typically relies on his people-pleasing tendencies and peacemaking abilities in atmospheres becoming increasingly chaotic. Bless his heart as he trudges forward through life seeking to guide others on the right track to connect with a higher purpose. All well intended, don’t get me wrong, but singing ‘Kumbaya’ is not an effective or helpful strategy when dealing with liars. Your strength lies in building up a weak King of Swords, who uses his head, not heart, when communicating, honestly yet reasonably. This King wants you to recognize that you are dealing with “skillful men who know how to move people by using mind control”. Lean into his strength of discernment & unbiased judgement when trying to disseminate truth. The higher standards he holds for himself by adhering to principles such as truth, legality, fairness, provide order & structure to build a framework for him to ascertain fact from fiction, reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. The advice of the 9 of Swords suggests getting help from those stronger than you to cure some deep seeded ills if you unable to cope. If you don’t, they will overwhelm you, leading you further into despair, falseness & treachery. This time of humanity requires those of razor-sharp minds & integrity to navigate the dark waters ahead.
