April 8 to April 14, 2024: Tarot and Energy Forecast
Whew child! This Aries/Eclipse season has been a doozy so far! In New York City we experienced an Earthquake on the 5th and as I’m writing this I am wondering what other surprises are in-store for us as we welcome a New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th. This eclipse is a total eclipse, which is rare — Mama Moon will block the Sun for a few minutes, leaving us all in a bit of darkness as she casts her shadow over us. So what does this all mean for us, spiritually?
Traditionally humans have been fascinated by the celestial happenings around us, and have often used religious or spiritual context to give these occurrences meaning — to help us understand what’s going on. This also means that, unfortunately, many folks use spirituality to promote fear mongering. We’ll always be dealing with the unexplainable and just because it doesn’t make sense to us doesn’t mean that it’s evil or that we should be afraid. As well, the current fear mongering taking place has a lot to do with continued fear (misunderstanding) around the Divine Feminine aspect in our lives. Women’s “mysteries” have usually been dismissed or retold as evil, in this toxic-masculine matrix of ours. Creation creates in the dark — in the dark of the womb, in the dark of the soil, in the dark of space — the darkness holds the seeds of potential. Once the potential manifests in the material, the light can then nourish its existence. So please understand, we need both light and dark aspects in life.
Now that’s not to say don’t be careful, cautious, or vigilant when needed, but panic and paranoia won’t help. This is why looking within is super important, and I would even say necessary. The more you know yourself, the more grounded in your power (and truth) you will be. Anyone who is not “connected” to themselves, will believe in the fear and therefore give their power away — -let’s just say, there are those who thrive off of our fear, but that’s a story for another day.
This week we have something to learn about our material circumstances. We might experience situations that we may think we’re ready for, but we’re not…
