In March, we focused on the vernal equinox. Here we bring our attention to the astrological new year beginning with Aries, 3/21/21 to 4/19/2021, Taurus. In numerology we often look to the astrological phenomenon because of the principle of “as above, so below”. What is going on above us is an indication of what is happening within us. It can be quite helpful.
April/Aries main theme is new beginnings. It is the first sign of the new year, bringing in new hope. It assists us with being balanced and gives us the “giddy-up” to fuel our hopes and dreams. At the beginning of this month, Chiron’s influence is felt. It is very much like Pluto. A small “wannabe planet” but it is actually an asteroid. Chiron represents the healer. Within each one of us , Chiron can have a relationship with our warrior. In many cases this is a wounded warrior. In my case my healer has been wounded as well. Chiron has the healing power to assist the warrior . We each have the task of healing and nurturing the wounded healer within. We can be tested by this energy. It may show us some deep issue that challenges our belief. Pay attention, the energy triggered by the wound can be the fuel to look at some deeply held issue that affected our beliefs. Now is the time to grab the energy to work on yourself. It can be the opportunity to revaluate and evolve what we hold to be true. Keep in mind, as we evolve into higher consciousness, our truth also evolves. Something that is true at a lower frequency does not necessarily hold true in a higher dimension.
I remember last year at this time. The huge scope of the pandemic was beginning to be felt. It was so hard for me to stay at home and have my Shoemaker’s Bench business closed. One of our coping mechanisms was to put our masks on and drive to a park or hiking trail. Just get out for a bit while being socially distant. That was where I saw the buds on the trees. The crocus pushing up through the frozen ground. Spring was going to happen, pandemic or not. The warrior in me was not content to be wounded. I made a commitment to take advantage of this quarantine and be productive. Springtime/Aries did that for me. A word of caution here. Mars rules Aries. The warrior energy can be intense and trigger emotions, even anger. Be mindful. How we deal with the intensity can be the key ingredient for the warrior to shift from being wounded to being healed.
Let’s look at the numbers. In the calendar, April is the fourth month. Four represents structure, foundation and the heart chakra. If we simply look at the month and the year, we see 4+5=9. Nine is all about resolution and completion even at a time of new beginnings. We will be shown that if there are issues left unresolved, we will be obstructed in the creation of a new beginning. The heart (4) holds the foundation for this new creation and the year holds the freedom to act in accord with this new dream.
In Chinese medicine, the heart (4) is strongly connected to the ears and the kidneys. The ears are all about hearing and the kidneys hold our fears. They were not designed to hold fears but that is where our fears manifest in our body. If we have a desire to heal our kidneys, we can start with looking at our fears. If our goal is to improve our hearing, we might try a simple yet profound exercise that can be helpful. Write down things that you never wanted to hear in your life. Many are from childhood. The young adult being told they were not qualified or were being let go from a job. Once you start you might be amazed at the number of pages that can be filled. These create blocks. We are prone to turn off our hearing so not to be hurt or disappointed. There are also things we did not hear and have been waiting to hear perhaps all our life. For instance, “ I love you just the way you are”. When you feel that you have filled a sufficient number of pages, you can take the time to find a sacred space where you can burn the pages, transmuting the energy. Fire has that ability. When it comes to the what we did not hear state your intent to let go of the waiting for this affirmation from outside of ourself. Make the intent to generate this message from within. It can be an opportunity for great self- empowerment.
The kidneys and our fears take a great deal more time and energy. One of the most helpful tools I have discovered are Bach Flower remedies. A brief word about these remedies. They are considered as an alternative therapy for emotional issues and pain associated with them. Dr. Edward Bach, a medical doctor and homeopath, discovered and created these remedies in the early 1900’s. They are made from extracts of the flowers of wild plants. They are based on the belief that our bodies can heal ourself. I am not a practitioner. I can simply say that the remedy Mimulus has been very effective for fears known and for anxiety connected to them. Aspen is a remedy for unknown fears. If you find this interesting and helpful, a Bach Flower practitioner can be really specific and assist you in creating a remedy that will make your healing journey less stressful and more productive.
Healing efforts for our ears and kidneys can be a great benefit to our heart and circulatory system. April is such a beautiful time to create a new pathway on this evolutionary journey.
Later in April, Pluto comes into the picture on the 27th of the month. Pluto turns retrograde and can trigger more of these complex feelings and issues that we have hinted at. We are given the opportunity to learn and respond to what is revealed. Heads up though, Pluto is retrograde until October 6th.
Wishing us all a beautiful spring and an insightful transition from winter. Stay connected. Be the network. Have courage and express gratitude. It is an essential ingredient in the equation.
