APRIL TAROT FORECAST
BE THE LOVE YOU DESERVE
CARD OF THE MONTH: THE EMPEROR
April will teach you a lot about Love. We begin in the sign of Aries with April 1st it’s sweet new moon. Who am I?? How can God’s will be done through me?? How can I experience the world through Love not Fear?? Big questions I know, but Aries season wants us to cut to the chase. Where and what are you giving your power away to that doesn’t serve you anymore? And by saying no to those people, places and things that draaaaain you, what will emerge? Oh so much good my dear. It is fitting that the card I pulled for this month is The Emperor. This card, in the context of this month is showing us that true authority has both integrity, boundaries, self respect, but also compassion, wisdom, appreciation and kindness (Aries AND Taurus season anyone??) Be the Emperor of your own life this month, stay put on your throne until genuinely moved forward, keep your standards high and your heart open. And as we enter Venus ruled Taurus season on April 19th we’ll start to feel grateful we didn't settle for less than we deserve.
RITUAL
Ritual: Intention walks. If you have never tried an intention walk before I highly recommend! All you have to do is…
Create a threshold (this could be your doorway, your gate, the edge of your block).
Set an intention! This can be anything you want, specific or general! Some examples I’ve tried are: inspiration for a new project, closure with a relationship, cultivating presence, come back into my body, more self love please, manifestation of a wish, forgiveness.
Once you have it, write the intention on a little slip of paper and keep it in your pocket as you walk.
Next, cross the threshold you made for yourself with gratitude and head out! You can do a 5 minute stroll or a 2 hour walk!! Truly whatever your heart desires.
Let go of YOUR expectations and let what you see and encounter surprise you. You may see the perfect street sign, run into a friend, glimpse an animal or creature of significance, or pick a sweet smelling flower.
Feel all your feelings throughout. Sometimes I want these walks to be full of epiphanies and synchronicities but sometimes they are simply a chunk of time to feel what comes up or doesn’t. Just let it be what it is baby.
Return to the threshold you set and step back into “reality” allowing all you’ve just received to integrate. You can journal or not. This is your time! Enjoy…
