The number 4 of April requires us to look at the structure of our life, and make decisions in regards to the responsibilities we can carry. Sorting out what stays and what needs to be cleared from the shelf is a top priority now. There is a line of demarcation that needs to be established at this time, because once we emerge into the month of May it will be difficult to disentangle from even the suggested promise of a commitment.
The response: "Hey, but you said you would!" will echo across the emotional landscape of people's weary hearts, so don't set yourself up for the fall. There is an element of tough love here, and no one likes that. However, it serves a higher purpose in that you cannot be blamed for the gap of responsibility that someone else is unable to fulfill.
And we can blame it all on the number 9, the number of mastery over mystery. Nine is the most intense number, and this intensity will crank up to a new level in May. So, you have plenty of time to get your ducks in a row before then, particularly in the area of the Fire Element. Get your car in order with radiator coolant, engine oil levels, brake fluid, and a few spare bottles of water set aside for you. Cleanup the outside of your house from any leaves or debris that could be a fire hazard and go to the hardware store and get a small fire extinguisher for the kitchen.
Then, get a picture that holds the Water Element and place it by the front door. It could be a greeting card that has an ocean scene or mountain stream on it, or even a postcard with the same. Take a moment when leaving your house to affirm: My world is cool, cozy, safe and protected. The sacred waters wash away any unkind projections towards me, and the Angels clear the path before me.
Setting the tone before walking out into the world is a really good idea for the days ahead. How you carry yourself speaks about who you are and what you are willing, or not willing to accept. It creates a filter against the stinging bee mentality that some people possess. When you hear the buzz, change gears and move out of range.
2025 has a lot to do with where you are physically present, and where you are not. The number 9 is the Subtle Body, and it has the power to give us the intuitive inklings we need to navigate the world. This kind of energetic fluidity is essential, as number 4 has the tendency to get stuck in a box. The rigidity of the words 'should' and 'supposed to' will not be of help to you now. Why so? Because almost no one is feeling or behaving as they are supposed to.
When the number 9 goes negative it can be despondent and lazy. The simplest of tasks can turn into: Ah, I don't really feel like taking out the trash, picking up my socks, or taking my vitamins.
There is an emotional skip at play in the collective psyche that is creating a resistance to responsibility at this time, similar to the way the old school vinyl records would skip. This shifts the burden of responsibility to you.
Sound is very powerful this year on planet Earth, and our own voice holds the keys to the Kingdom. By chanting mantras and singing songs of a higher vibration we can elevate ourselves above the push/pull of ego and winner/loser dynamics. One of the best mantras at this time is the Adi Shakti mantra, as it relates to female polarity and our ability to be smooth, subtle, and sophisticated. This subtlety and sophistication gives you what I call the gracious upperhand in your dealings with the lower end of the evolutionary spectrum.
Coming back to the number 4 of this month, it is very important not to skip steps in any project or endeavor. There will be a great temptation towards this, however, remind yourself of the 'Tortoise and the Rabbit' fable where it's the slow and steady tortoise who wins the race. The ability to maintain yourself amidst the powerful sway of all the drama in the world rests in your steady hand on the tiller, alert and gently guiding you in the right direction.
If you have children, give them creative projects to do. Teach them how to build and construct things, at their appropriate age level. This helps give a sense of control and security in a presently chaotic world. As we approach the warmer months, you can set up a tent in the yard for them and show them how to live in a cozy contained space. It is healing to sleep on the earth and have everything you need within arm’s reach. Necessity is the mother of invention. Teach your kids to figure things out, before Siri has them walking into mental oblivion.
The heat on the planet, whether physical, emotional, or mental will be steadily ascending as we move forward in the year. If you are in a relationship, or live with other people, you need to set some ground rules now. This is for the protection and stability of the household. Many people are feeling overwhelmed in their own mind, and if you are confrontational it may trigger an emotional landslide.
We are in a linked 3 month cycle that extends through the end of June, where there is a tendency towards misunderstandings and people not hearing things correctly. Speaking in a neutral tone of voice, using simple language, and allowing for a physical distance of 3 to 4 feet from the other person will help. This allows the other person to feel safe and not pressured. Sometimes the simplest of adjustments can make a huge difference.
Equilibrium, that’s the key word for transiting 2025. Keep it clasped close to your heart, and do not sacrifice yourself in the fire of misplaced emotions. Run your race, keep your grace, and carry a bright face into our brave new world. In the words of the great poet Maya Angelou, never forget: "Every storm runs out of rain."
