• ​April 3: Out Of Bounds Venus (4/2 – 6/1) moves into GEMINI through 8/7; MERCURY conjunct NEPTUNE. Open flow of communication, creativity, Divine inspiration, mixed with fear and confusion, and the need to transmute these energies to attain higher states of consciousness and manifestation. Go with the flow. 

• April 4: The first of three JUPITER-PLUTO conjunctions is exact at 24 degrees Capricorn (upcoming dates 6/30/2020 and 11/12/2020)

• April 4 - 8: The LIBRA SUPERMOON FULL MOON brings themes of balance, cooperation, and negotiation to the fore. Coinciding with MARS squaring URANUS, shake-up’s in relationships and the balance status quo are to be expected. Illumination of what needs to change to bring greater equilibrium into our lives. People-pleasing tendencies of Libra need to go straight out the window at this full moon, as CHIRON sextiles CHIRON too, showing where we must stand up for ourselves to reclaim sovereignty. Self-preservation and protection in a way that brings true balance gives us a chance to work our courage muscles. Themes of justice and fairness; the need to find common ground and level-headed solutions.

 

• April 10 - 11: VENUS sextiles CHIRON, bringing potential for healing in relationships and self-worth through the acknowledgement of core wounds. MERCURY sextile SATURN aids in clearer, more confident communication and the solidification of agreements, especially with MERCURY’s move into ARIES on the 11th. 

 

• April 14 - 15: The SUN squares PLUTO and JUPITER, bringing power struggles within and without. As MERCURY conjuncts CHIRON in Aries and VENUS conjuncts VESTA in Gemini, we’re called to step into our power, embodying Light and Love in the most potent of ways. Think Holy Fire, Dragon Fire, emanating out in the face of all challenges, and you’re on the right track. Radiate unapologetically, owning your sovereignty!

 

• April 18: MERCURY sextiles VENUS and MARS, bringing great potential for inspired communal shift, innovation, and change. Channel passion into action!

 

• April 19: The SUN moves into earthy TAURUS through May 11, attuning our senses to a slower pace and the essence of Earth and nature’s cycles unfolding. Focus on wealth and resources, craftsmanship, and all things of good, tilled earth.

 

• April 21: The SUN squares SATURN, bringing stubbornness, frustration, and illuminating the need for radical changes in current structures. Social revolution at the ground level, issues with authority; the need for patience and tenacity, for doing what we can with where we’re at, and the resources we have available.  

 

• April 25 - 26: PLUTO STATIONS RETROGRADE at 24 degrees 59’ Capricorn through
  10/4, as MERCURY squares PLUTO Rx/Jupiter. Penultimate moments of change and catharsis. The need to ground into personal power; face fears head-on; exploring the roots of trauma, wounds, and where we have given away our power in the past. Psychological, emotional, spiritual deep-dive. Be mindful of abusive tendencies arising in self and other. Do no harm, but take no sh*t. And as the SUN conjuncts URANUS, the need for liberation and likelihood of radical change abounds. Mother Earth is speaking – open up your Heart and senses, and receive her love and messages.

 

• April 27: MERCURY moves into TAURUS through May 11, bringing calmer minds more attuned to methodical, rational processes. A wonderful time for speaking, singing, creating, tending to the throat and Throat Chakra. Commune with Wild Earth, planting, gathering, receiving wisdom therein.

​

• April 28 - 30: MERCURY squares SATURN and conjuncts URANUS, bringing challenges in communication, contracts, and authority figures. From this perceived impasse, incredible change is possible. May bring breaking points in agreements that are no longer for the highest good. Stand your ground, doing what you can with the position you find yourself in. Freedom, freedom – how can you liberate yourself long-term? Patience, smart moves, and no giving in to frustration. This too shall pass!

The potency of April's astrology is remarkable. With a myriad of celestial energies coalescing, we are called to step into a place of empowerment through the summoning of courage, answering the call to unity, and embodying Love like never before.

FIRE and AIR dominate much of the month, bringing intensity, inspiration, and passion. As a start, the SUN in Aries through 4/19 creates the backdrop for April, as well as MERCURY's entry into the sign on the 4/11: I AM consciousness. The Fighter. The Survivor. Summoning the flames, wielding the torch, casting that which would threaten our Hearts, Minds, Bodies, Spirits back to the shadows. Pure, unadulterated Holy Flame, come to life through the Soul Spark that resides in each of us.

With CHIRON already in Aries through 2026, the passage of the Sun and Mercury through this sign bring incredible moments for healing core wounds and reclaiming our sovereignty amid fears that swirl in the time of COVID-19. 

As George Washington said in the channeled message I shared in my last blog post, "You can - and you will - do this. You already know how."
 
A timely message, from a spirit who most certainly knows how to lead their troops not only to safety, but into entirely uncharted territory in birthing a nation against all odds.

We begin with VENUS, the Goddess of Love, Balance, and Harmony. She moves into GEMINI today, where she'll stay until August 7 due to her turning RETROGRADE from mid-May through late June. This sets the stage for events already unfolding re: the changing nature of our social landscape in the face of a pandemic, finding innovative ways to collaborate and stay connected despite physical distancing, and the likelihood of summer plans not moving forward as intended. This also points to the need to reconfigure our relationship structures in general re: stepping beyond judgment to understand new points of view (which connects to the Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse on June 5 in a big way), and exploring our current values system as it pertains to new information that comes to light.
 
What's more, Venus is OUT OF BOUNDS until 6/1, meaning that she's operating outside of the norm within the scope of all she represents. This bodes well for breakthroughs in communication (and using our intelligence to come out on top of COVID-19 together), engaging with society in ways we haven't done before. Breaking free from relationship constraints; artistic and creative breakthroughs; unique and unusual expression in fashion and personal aesthetics.
 
Between the influence of VENUS, MARS making its way through rebellious, ingenious AQUARIUS, and SATURN in Aquarius - and a SUPERMOON on 4/7 in LIBRA, a sign that Venus rules - Air is fueling Fire fiercely. Change, collaboration, and solidarity abounds, giving us an impassioned push to think on our feet and brainstorm creative solutions.
 
And thank goodness, for as the month goes on, many challenges await: navigating the flair of tempers as old wounds are triggered, facing fears, grief, vulnerability and ideas around mortality in ways that many in the Western world have not done before; collective trauma; feelings of limitation and "stuckness" as we continue to navigate a time when we might feel as if there's one foot on the gas, and another on the brake. One moment brings tremendous breakthroughs; another might bring feelings of defeat and despair.
 
But through it all, one thing remains: the wisdom and intelligence of the Soul, the tenacity of the human spirit, and the call to step into our power as sovereign beings to bring about a better world. 

JUPITER meets with PLUTO in the first of three conjunctions in 2020 at 24 degrees Capricorn. Rich opportunities for growth and expansion lie in facing our fears, going deeper than feelings of helplessness or despair to get to the HEART of the matter: what the underlying purpose of what's unfolding might be, digging deeply to find our Truth and Callings, and looking the old structures and programming in the eye, saying "I see you. I call your bluff. Now, this is who I AM, and the Divine Truth and I AM embodying here and now." Claiming personal sovereignty; feeling the power of our Earthy Mother thrumming beneath our feet straight into our Roots and Hearts. Remembering who we are and what we came to do.

This conjunction brings the strength of The Mountain, of old wisdom that resides in the bones of the Earth and indigenous traditions, including the wisdom and healing of plants, rocks, and gemstones; the need to tunnel deeper, deeper to find the riches buried below. It may be helpful to tune into the Telluric energy currents (Earth-based energies), your own Kundalini flow, or Dragon energy to tap your strength and potential, and tunnel to the heart of The Mountain to access gifts that lie waiting. 

The events transpiring now will absolutely shape our generation, and events now in motion will shape our world well beyond that.
 
Physical abundance and prosperity will also manifest in unprecedented ways for those aligned with these energies, who set their Hearts and Minds to it. Putting in the ground-level effort, doing the inner work, and allowing the Highest Good to unfold by riding the wave of Source energy that streams through us - a surefire recipe for MIRACLES!
 
As PLUTO STATIONS RETROGRADE on 4/25, more overhauls are coming that take the lid off of what's been lying below that has kept us from stepping most fully into our power until now. Healing crises are not uncommon at this time, and can feel downright visceral and scary moving through them. But as someone who is quite Plutonian/Persephone in nature, I say this: there is nothing we cannot face and come out stronger, clearer, and more empowered for it. Collectively, we are The Phoenix Rising, and sometimes things must crumble so they can be rebuilt more solidly than ever.
 
The Sun moves into TAURUS on 4/19 and MERCURY follows suit on the 27th, bringing greater Earth energy and more initial stability. The TAURUS NEW MOON on the 22nd (Earth Day) brings challenge, as it’s conjunct URANUS and squaring SATURN/PALLAS ATHENA. But themes of radical change re: our relationship to wealth, resources, Mother Earth, sensuality, all things from the good, tilled earth are up for new beginnings, and new levels of personal grounding and stability are available to us if we align and do the work.

Greetings, Dear Ones! It's been quite a while since I've posted on this blog, since the majority of what I've posted in recent months has been on my Facebook page. But tonight, I'm back posting my first-ever channeled message from two guides I was surprised to connect with (but maybe shouldn't be!) at this time - George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. 

I sat down today intending to write an astrology forecast for the month of April. But before I began, I chose to tune in to see if any guides or ascended masters had thoughts or guidance to share. And that's when I saw with crystal clarity the image of George Washington leading his troops in crossing the River Delaware. 

I am no stranger to intuitive visioning work. In fact, I had been cultivating this ability for many years, but have never felt moved to share in this way, nor have I received messages to be shared with the collective so clearly and concisely. 

These two legendary figures have been spirit guides of mine for a long time, appearing at times when the need for reclaiming my freedom, and/or the need for rewriting aspects of my own soul contract (or assising others in my soul family in fulfilling aspects of contracts we had made prior to incarnation), is greatest. They are strong and honorable, and resolute in their desire to share messages with those who feel called to connect with their energies at this time of change and challenge. 

Upon receiving their messages, it's so fitting that these guides came through with messages for April - a month that brings a LIBRA SUPERMOON FULL MOON on the 7th, a sign often associated with world leaders, diplomats, generals, and those who seek to find balance and common ground. In addition, a freedom-bent MARS IN AQUARIUS transit squaring URANUS in TAURUS, with SATURN in AQUARIUS moving nearer to a square with Uranus. These aspects, along with the JUPITER-PLUTO CONJUNCTION on the 4th, make for:

• An intense need and desire to overhaul old systems and structures to the benefit of all people
• Seeking common ground despite personal differences in beliefs and ideology
• The need for steadfastness, courage, and patience in the face of fear, grief, and uncertainty; doing the work we are called to do day in and day out diligently, resting  as needed, but not quitting
• A need to dig deeply within ourselves to find the strength, tenacity, Truth, Love, and Light that is inherent in each of us in order to shine more brightly and step more fully into our empowerment and purpose 
• The acknowledgement of walking the Earth together, seeing her sacredness and bottomless abundance and Love; connecting with the wisdom of the land upon which we tread, treating it as the sacred ground that it is; for some, a return to Plant Knowledge and the healing capacity of sacred herbs and the traditions of our physical/soul heritage, whether it be physical or metaphysical in nature

April's more detailed astrology forecast is coming soon! For now, I share these messages from two of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, with Gratitude and Love.

The messages are clear, and beautifully coalesce with the astrology of April - a month full of potent astrological influences that have the force to shape not only a generation, but the beginning of a whole new era on Earth. Though we are called to move through moments frought with stress, challenges, and potent choice points in many directions, the potential for uniting for a common cause is more available to us - and in ways never seen on Earth before - in unprecedented ways. 

May Love and Light guide you as we make our way through these times, and may you and those you love be safe, well, and ever in the arms of the Angels and all those who support from the Heavenly realms beyond, and Sacred Earth below. 

With bright blessings, 

Jennifer Elen Brid
