Overall Themes
Monday-Wednesday
We are closing out the focus on our deepest fear. The lack of control we have over our own bodies, the shock of losing life, losing connection, losing health. Death is there whether we acknowledge it or not. By facing it we can see the gift of each day, relish the freedom we do possess and respect the health we are enjoying in this moment. Fear breeds insecurity, so many of us have been processing where we feel inadequate, unworthy, inept. Whether we show this by being quiet and conflict avoidance or loud and competitive, it’s all a dance to avoid the underlying irritation of our inevitable ending. Where have you been hiding? Where have you been pushing? Why? Where can you trust your body more? It is here to survive whatever shock or unexpected challenge life brings and it is enough, enough to travel through even the deepest fear, death. If it can handle this, it can handle anything.
Your gallbladder is the organ that can show how you’re navigating these energies. Symptoms of gallbladder imbalance include nausea, bloating, constipation, poor dietary fat absorption, poor eyesight, recall issues, dysbiosis, detox dysfunction, pain under the right ribcage, skin eruptions, hives and rashes, swelling of the face and around the upper eye region. Your body is asking you to face, process and release your fear of death and move from a place of cowardice or restless reactivity into gracious grounded authenticity – knowing who you are, what your body is capable of and stepping onto the unique path God has continually put in front of you over the years.
Thursday - Monday
In the second half of this week, we navigate new beginnings. Over the last few months or even years, much has shifted, cleared and changed for us and truly humanity as a whole. Yet, where are we still holding on? Where are we still avoiding? Looking out at an unknown future, untrodden and fresh, can be exciting, terrifying or – simply hold potential. We may find that we lean towards optimism or pessimism, but both of these states are forms of expectation.
As Wednesday begins, let yourself consider a life of detachment, without putting a negative or positive label on it. Instead, put your focus on life in this moment, right in front of you, in your body. What are you feeling? Joy, grief, pleasure, pain? Whatever it is, FEEL it. Sit in it fully. Savor it, yes, even the seemingly unbearable, go as far as you can. Sink your teeth in and choose to stay with it.
This is how we’re present with raw reality. I recently learned that detachment is not about being void of emotion or care. It’s in fact the opposite – intense commitment to being in the emotion, the experience, the energy of NOW and giving little attention to what we think has to come in the future. Detachment is the release of expectation, remaining open to experiencing whatever comes in full. This is also what I would consider true vulnerability.
Be in the moment of today and the reality of being alive right now, whatever that holds. This is how we relish life in all its forms and move forward on the new path unfolding before us this month.
Moon Schedule
April 7th - Moon moves into Leo:
Body Zone 5: Gallbladder, heart and back, forearms and wrists
Mercury goes DIRECT in Pisces! Artistic creativity will be at an all time high today and for some time after because mercury will be flying free in Pisces. Yay for full flow and clarity once more.
A day of physical coldness due to Saturn action with Venus, so keep your feet and extremities warm. Wear socks. Enjoy warming drinks, like ginger root tea and firey condiments like horseradish or wasabi to keep the blood flowing all the way out to the extremities. Hot showers, baths, foot soaks… warm blankets.
This is when all the lessons of the last handful of weeks will really start to integrate.
April 9th - Moon moves into Virgo:
Body Zone 6: Digestive and detox systems, immune function, nervous system, septically sympathetic (fight or flight)
April 10th: The pancreas may be extra sensitive, so blood sugar will not be as stable. Eat regularly to avoid tanking in energy, getting mentally spacey or becoming shaky and cranky.
April 11th - Moon moves into Libra:
Body Zone 7: Kidneys, lungs and inhale, shoulders, arms, wrists and hands, speech centers of the brain
April 12th:
Full moon in Libra (Libra/Aries axis) - strong focus on kidneys - water holding could be very high during this time, take potassium & stay hydrated,
Venus turns direct and will deeply affect your lymphatic system, support flow in the body with gentle movement, massage, food, water, herbs, and essences
April 13th: If you’re feeling low in energy today it may be related to reduced red blood cell vitality - enjoy some pasture-raised beef or take a quality iron supplement.

Relax and let the body release. Savor and pour into your passions, let your body, heart, and mind linger in love and creation!
