Spring Storm
Originally uploaded by imjackhandy
Overview: The last couple weeks of April bring a changing spring landscape with Mercury turning retrograde and close out with a strong full moon in Scorpio. We may need to spend some time reflecting on where our resources are going. Mindfulness and a slower pace are needed to process and respond to everything swirling around us. Hold your emotions tenderly and loosely as they come up to allow your true feelings to emerge.
4/16-4/17…Appearances can be deceiving. We must hold news gently, as it’s bound to shape shift into something different with Mercury turning retrograde until 5/11. Use the next few weeks to reflect on your quality of life, simplify, and to cultivate more mindfulness about where your resources such as time and money are really going. Consider moving your money to a local community bank or credit union if you haven’t already. Personally and collectively we have an opportunity to work on being in right relationship with money. Here are some links to resources to support that process:

4/18…Enjoy an inspired Sunday. Go slow and see what signs of spring you can find to delight your senses.
4/19…Sun enters Taurus today. Let your body and instincts point you to where stabilization and practicality are needed. Use these instincts to help you ground and get out of any broken record stories you may have gotten caught up in over a material detail.
4/20…Follow the natural rhythm of today and you can accomplish quite a lot.
4/21-4/22…On 4/22 we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. In what ways would you like to be a better steward of your personal and our collective resources on this planet? Do yourself and the world a favor by treating yourself and others as kindly as you wish we treated the earth.
4/23-4/24…Finds us needing to let go of an overly idealistic expectation of another and embrace a new, more grounded perspective on the support and connection that has been there all along.
4/25-4/26…What ways are you stabilizing and integrating from changes that started in the fall of 2008? Planning and a pragmatic attitude are needed to prepare for the long term and to accommodate shifts in perspective and circumstances.
4/27-4/28…Busy couple of days culminating with a strong full moon in Scorpio on 4/28. Emotional purging and processing is necessary to recalibrate where our true feelings lie. We may need to make some decisions around our resources; take care not to get overly attached/swayed by the physical form. Remember it’s a representation of a much deeper and powerful process and appearances can be deceiving without the full story and context. Luckily faith and inspiration are available for us to tap into so you can make sure that whatever you do at the crossroads you now face incorporates your resilience and ingenuity in the face of any situation.
4/29-4/30…Take a breather and make sure to look far as well as near amidst the emotionally charged events of late. Where do we need to be reminded of the meaning and purpose behind any drama? Expand your mind and perspective by taking some time exploring off the beaten path.
