Sometimes intelligence and cleverness
is a detriment. What I mean is that when you are clever you can manipulate
situations in such a way that you do not change. There are moments in which
compromises actually cause confusion. Compromises can be a way for your ego to
maintain a certain amount of control and not allow you to be fully in the
moment. When you are clinging to something from the past and are not willing to
let go you may choose to take a half step and compromise. In such a case you
are not happy and others are also not happy. This type of compromise can create
a type of inner repression and that can work against you.
Now, there are ways to compromise in
which you are attempting to meet another person at the halfway mark in order to
understand their point of view and the intent is to work towards harmony. That
is a lovely way to compromise. But then there are moments in which that you are
caving in and actually betraying your own truth. We do this for approval or to sometimes
to avoid conflict. But this type of compromise will leave a bitter taste in
your mouth.
This month is full of challenges. We
are in a Mars retrograde in Libra so things feel as if we need to do a karmic
rebalancing. We may feel as if we are waging a war but that war is a psychic
one. You will want to dig deep and make movements even though those movements
seem challenging. Anything started now will work if your intent is clear and
honorable. Think of it as if things are boiling below the surface and it would
probably be best to stir that pot rather than let it explode when Mars goes
direct in May.
As a result things will be coming to
the surface for you to address. This is a time to take a look at your impulses
and look before you leap. You might also feel more tired and slightly accident
prone so pay attentions and stay present in the moment. Try to not live in the
past and obsess about what is not fair in your life. A Mars Retrograde in Libra
is about getting honest with yourself and realize where you have been accepting
things on the surface but in actuality it has been creating deep divisiveness
and conflict. Instead of being passive-aggressive you need to find another way
to address an old issue and actively move towards changing your behavior.
Sometimes it is only through
discomfort and dissonance that we realize what is not working. Your choice from
the past has been based on keeping the peace and minimizing conflict. But now
you are the one in conflict and you are recognizing that you are loosing energy
and it is time to do something else. This is going to require all your
intuitive skills and seeking out new knowledge and ways to cope. The best way
is to express your truth in an honest and authentic way. I know that is not
always possible and with April being full of Lunar and Solar Eclipses let’s
just say for some of you your life will be turned upside down. Anything that
has been weighing you down in relationship is bound to surface. April will
force you to change how you interact with others. Sometimes that means life
takes on the form of some sort of loss. But see that loss as an opportunity for
freedom in order for you to move forward.
April is so action packed because of
the Grande Cardinal Cross activating again that you will probably feel yanked
around quite a bit. You are going to feel stretched. If you have been unwilling
to change than big surprises will probably happen. It is time to put the cards
on the table and ante up to what is your responsibility. If you have been
playing with a false handful of cards and you have been bluffing your way
through life, that play is no longer going to fool anybody.
April has a strong water element in
the cards and this would be a great time to do a juice cleanse or to do any
type of detox that your body is asking for. It will also tend to bring in water
and there are places in the US that we really need a lot of water. So I am
hopeful to the cleansing and healing element of rain supporting your process
this month.
Get ready, brace yourself for big
shifts, and listen to your intuition because you will feel as if you are going
into an abyss either inside or outside. Keep as playful of an attitude as
possible. Let go of judgment and old conflict. Use your mind and find
alternative methods to handle old situations. It is time to discover how to
become the master of your own awareness. April clears out the old in a storm of
change which will allow the new to spring forward.
