April Energy Through the Elements.

Pisces: Buffalo.  The Buffalo derives from the Earth Element. Your situation could involve a Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo. I see you sitting in silence sometimes taking deep breaths. You have to take time to be alone in order to sort out and work through your emotions and thoughts. You need to take deep breaths so that you won’t argue and fight. It’s almost as though you find yourself biting your tongue often. The lightning bolts behind the buffalo correlate with the problems that you’re facing. Buffalo’s message is about seeing challenges, hardship, or a bump in the road as an opportunity. The Buffalo does not fear death, illness, or misfortune. You are asked to trust that the situation will work out in the end. Keywords: Grounded yet Heavenly, Practical yet spiritual.

Cancer: Cosmic Egg. The Cosmic Egg derives from Spirit. I love this card as it pictures a Snake protecting its egg. Snakes are about Transformation in your life. You are protected at this time during a transition in your own life. You may also be protecting yourself in some way during this time. There may be a secret you are keeping close to your chest in order to get what you want. The number 3 could be important to you. It could be 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months, or even 3 years. The message of the Cosmic Egg speaks about the unfolding of cosmic consciousness. This is the last card in the deck. This is your finale for the specific situation that you’ve been working through or waiting on. You have been through a period in your life where you may have felt alone, felt as though you’d “never get there”, as though any effort you have made has fallen upon deaf ears. This specific part of your journey has been a lesson, and it has helped to make you stronger. Keywords: Completion, Harmony, The Infinite within the finite.

Otter. The Otter derives from the Water Element. Your situation could involve another Water Sign. At first glance, it seems as though this Otter is either “Under a microscope” or being watched through a telescope or binoculars. This tells me that some of you have been under scrutiny. Being watched very closely in case you “mess up” or someone is attempting to find out information about you. You may feel as though you stand out like a sore thumb amongst the crowd. As though you don’t fit in. The message of the otter speaks about imagining your life without the presence of doubt, worry, or skepticism. Otters are playful like a child. They remind me of the Fool energy. Remind yourself of what it was like to see everything from the view of a child. Everything was new, with no prior experience, with no fear to be had. You were in a phase of discovery, and your curiousness ruled more than fear. Keywords: Unobstructed Joy, Playfulness, Contentment.

Aries: Dragonfly. The Dragonfly derives from the Air Element. Aquarius Gemini and Libra. The dragonfly waits patiently. It looks as though it is trying to protect something, or it has its eyes on a certain situation or someone specific. It rests upon the color blue which tells me that your emotions are involved. You don’t know whether to say something or to keep silent. You just watch and wait for your moment, if it ever arrives. The message of the dragonfly is a symbol of the mind. It speaks about how your mind is moving, shifting, and changing continually through this process. You are asked to consider whether your perception is correct or if it’s a false narrative causing more of an issue. Sometimes our emotions can cloud our judgment, so it’s best to take a moment before speaking. It is within the calm mind that the light of wisdom can shine through. Keywords: master of light, illusion, and the mind.

Leo: Stingray. The Stingray derives from the water element. Your situation could involve a Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio. My eyes were instantly guided to the Chakras on the Stingray. A small portion of you could be learning this system at this time. I believe you are asked to balance them. You can balance them with meditation and calming music. You need to take time to get away from your situation and/or others in order to bring about this balance. This is not you being selfish, this is you attempting to bring yourself up and out of this heaviness in order to be the best version of yourself. This is when you will take back your own power and be of better service to others. YOU need to put yourself first in order to do this. The message of the Stingray represents a pivotal point in personal growth. This is the moment when you must decide between the old (easy, comfortable, and familiar), and the new (challenging. Uncomfortable. and unfamiliar). Pressure from family and friends makes the decision even more complicated. No matter what choice is made now, it’s inevitable that this dilemma will surface again and again until you do what needs to be done. Keywords: developing confidence, sense of self, or “Spine”. Put your foot down.

Sagittarius: Frog. The Frog derives from the Water element. Your situation could involve a Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio. This frog is unwavering, with its eyes wide open. As raindrops pour upon them. It is reminiscent of feeling numb. It is raining and yet you don’t seek shelter. You allow it to keep pouring over you causing you to become drenched. This is also about your emotions. They have become SO heavy that you’ve become blind and stuck. Your eyes are wide open, certainly, but can you see through the torrential rain of emotion? I feel like some of you are punishing yourself over what has transpired. You may not even realize that you’re doing this. The Message of the Frog is about practicing self-care. “The frog spends its first months of life entirely within this healing element, and then emerges to rest on land. Frogs tend to become overworked and undernourished, so it’s vital that such sensitive creatures practice self-care. This card serves as a reminder that water helps us cleanse, forgive, and release. Time to dive in. Frogs aren’t meant to carry a heavy load.” Keywords: Clearing, Cleansing, Healing.

Aquarius: Hawk. The hawk derives from the air element. This hawk is seen as flying over the issue. Being able to see all perspectives. Behind them is this powerful and fiery energy that is guiding them. This makes me think of the Aries New Moon we just had. Mars is ruled by Aries and it’s the warrior planet. They seem to be very free and determined. I see this hawk as though it is quieting people or a person around them. either so they can hear what is being said, or so that they can remain incognito. The message of the Hawk states “the hawk watches our every move. This keen-eyed bird has the ability to see every little detail as well as the bigger picture. When this card appears, fate has its eyes on you, and the winds are shifting. It is said that the hawk carries news upon its wings and is sent from divinity itself to deliver it. The message should not be taken lightly… though it may seem small or insignificant, it will eventually redirect your course. Keywords:  watchful, all-seeing, messenger of divinity.

Gemini: Butterfly. The butterflies derive from the air element. My eyes are guided to the colors of the wings. We have Blue (Water) and Orange (Fire). Transforming through your actions. Emotional rollercoaster. You are no longer in a cocoon as your wings have been freed. I believe this message I am getting is telling me that a lot of you were in a position where you felt stuck, but you have gotten yourself out of that. You are still dealing with a bit of turmoil and aftermath. It feels as though your emotions are more dominant than the actions you’re taking. In other words, it’s your emotions at times that can stop your progress. If something isn’t going your way or going smoothly you can get so upset that you want to give up. The good news is that most of you haven’t and won’t give up. The message of the Butterfly comes during a period of transition. This state’s that air is the element of the heart, this change usually involves relationships or whatever you love. If you love your job, perhaps your career is in a state of transition. Since transition is accompanied by some amount of discomfort, be extra patient and kind during this time. Let solid friends and activities support you like a ” cocoon ” committing to one daily routine done at the same place and time will do wonders for lifting your spirit . For example,  If you like to meditate, then meditate at 7pm every night. Or meditate at 7 pm every Tuesday. The structure is key. Keywords: Undergoing great change and transformation.

Libra: Lizard. The Lizard derives from the Earth Element. There’s that Queen of Pentacles! Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo. The lizard likes to mold themselves to their environment. They like to remain private and anonymous. Without seeing the symbolism in the card right now my eyes went to the fact that I am reading for Libra, how the queen of pentacles was the card of the mediator, justice in the reading. What are libra’s known best for? Seeing things from all perspectives, being the peacemaker amongst their friends and family. Analyzing everything before giving their opinion. You are definitely the lizard. You wish to immerse yourself in the situation. To feel each side, to know each side. You seek liberty and justice for all. I felt that as I was seeing the color merge from yellow to red. Yellow is enlightenment, though the negative side of it speaks of betrayal. Enlightenment through the betrayal. Now, the Lizard asks, “What’s next??”, as it taps its foot. The Message of the Lizard speaks about having Sixth Sense. It is an expert in the realm of sensory perception. The lizard hears what is yet to be spoken, and sees what is yet to manifest. You are asked to take a step back during this time and regroup. Keywords: Instinctual, Sensitive to the subtle, Dreamer.

Capricorn: Rabbit. The Rabbit derives from the Earth Element. Every time I see this rabbit I think about being on alert. Being READY for what comes. It’s possible that some of you have been gridding your teeth and putting tension on your jaw. There’s this energy of being on edge. Stress is taking its toll. Even though this rabbit appears to be still, so that they go unnoticed, I am sensing restless energy. You may have been shaking your leg more than normal lately, tapping your fingers, and not being able to keep still for very long. You want whatever it is to just HAPPEN already!!! I can’t stress that enough. Looking at the Rabbit’s ears… you’re awaiting news… word of something. The Rabbit’s message is to Be careful what you manifest. When you talk or think about something specific repeatedly make sure it is positive. This tells me what you have been thinking about most is coming about soon enough. Try not to think the worst of an issue. You have been shaping your own destiny. Keywords: Afraid of everything, Overwhelmed, Frozen.

Taurus: Elk. The elk derives from the Earth Element. Broaden your horizons. There’s an immense amount of power surrounding this elk. I’m seeing him as looking toward the future. Rising above all and any difficulty. It’s as though you’re being pulled out of a vortex. At some point, this vortex will seem so far away, as you look back on that time, content in knowing that you’re protected from ever being trapped within its grasp. The message of the elk provides underlying support and stability through life’s many changes.  You will establish yourself and know your core values.  You have and will become known and respected for acting in ways that uphold these values. Be mindful of your ego, as it will become inflated at times. Your father could play some kind of role in your situation.  Keywords: Stable, Resilient, Headstrong, the Father.

Virgo: Bear. The Bear derives from the Earth Element.  Whenever I see the bear it reminds me of great protection.  It has motherly energy. Your own mother or mother figure could have your back at this time. My eyes are being guided to the coloring near the bear’s chest which speaks about issues or sadness that you have endured. With the Sun powerfully shining above this tells me that you either are or will be coming out of this period. It may just take some time for you to notice. You’re in this merging period. Things may seem a bit calmer than usual before it gets better. It appears that you’re keeping most if not all of your feelings to yourself. The message of the Bear represents you being on the cusp of a new direction and personal transformation. Spring is the time that your situation changes for the better. Keywords: waking from Spiritual Slumber, Beginning  Anew.
