https://enlighteninglife.com/april-2025-energy-reportDon’t get too comfy thinking that March is over and you can relax because April is another action filled month and we also have to deal with the fallout from the March eclipses and energy moves and shifts. We’re still in Aries season so action is the theme even with Mars in Cancer, chugging towards Leo and its upcoming showdown with Pluto (again) which happens in April. And we have a few more action elements in April that come into play so keep your intentions high and your lights bright because this is a stand up, show up, and lights up month.
April is a 4 month in numerology as April is the 4th month and 2025 is a 9 year, 4 + 9 = 13 and 1 + 3 = 4. 4 is the number of stability, completion, and closure. It represents security, knowledge, confidence, and structure. There are 4 cardinal directions – East, West, North, and South, and 4 elements in the earth – Earth, Wind, Air, Fire. Think of 4 legs on a table or a chair, 4 wheels on a car. A square has 4 sides and it can be a box to stand on so we can rise above to the next level or a prison that keeps us penned in. With the 1 and 3 of this month’s 4 vibe, we can take the creative energy of March and take action in a balanced and stable way. No rushing out of the starting gate so typical of Aries, this is considered, measured, purposeful action, aligned with our intention.
The downfall of the 4 is being too rigid and stable, set in their ways, stubborn, and unchangeable. 4 is at its worst when it is trying to be all things to all people, scattering resources, and lacking focus. Those are the elements that can make April a challenging month for some, especially those who get overwhelmed by all of the energy and try to hide out or stay the same because they fear change.
April begins with the energy of March resonating very loudly – the entry of Neptune into Aries and the March 29 eclipse. Those two events have long term effects so just because we are in a new month doesn’t mean they go away. That just creates an energy signature for April. On April 7 Mercury goes direct and on April 12 Venus goes direct. Then the big event of April (one of them anyway) is Mars going into Leo (again) on April 17 and engaging in its ‘power to the people’ moment with Pluto as it did in most of December and January. And that isn’t all because in June Mars will be in Aquarius, meeting up with Pluto again. Then the Mars/Pluto connections will be over for the rest of the year.
Before we continue with the rest of the month’s details I have to share something funny with you. I was thinking about all of the release work and shifting we have had to do as we choose between our ascension path and our karma because they really are not on the same plane. We have to decide where we are going to focus our energy. The problem is that avoiding the karma path means doing so much release work (note that I did not say ‘forgiveness’ work) that it can be exhausting and discouraging.
How can we engage in that level of release work and move forward? Then I thought of goats, that we have to be more like goats. If you know anything about them, goats are remarkable animals. They are smart, nimble, can jump very high, and scale the highest peaks. Goats are ruminants, like cows, and they have a voracious appetite. Goats will eat anything, and a lot of it. They will clear out the weeds, brambles, and anything green in a large space in a matter of hours. They have thick skin that even the toughest thorns cannot pierce and one of their favorite foods is poison ivy.
How do goats manage to eat so much? Because they have an extremely fast metabolism and they ‘poop’ as they eat. If you hire a herd of goats to do pasture or field clearing, something that has become very popular in recent years, they will clear out the weeds and any greenery and fertilize the field at the same time. They are the epitome of the saying ‘food goes in one end and out the other’ and it happens quickly with them.
So if we are like goats we assess situations, consider our choices, and make our decisions to release as we move along. We do not need to spend days or weeks considering a move that we know could have happened months or years ago. The behavior we see in people now is probably no different than anything they have done for a very long time. We are seeing it from a different perspective today but they have not changed. Our choice involves whether we want that behavior in our life right now and that answer is usually no.
The energy theme of April is Reconstruction but this is more like the phoenix rising from the ashes than trying to salvage the bricks from your old house to build your new house. If parts of your life have not been totally decimated since January, you may not be paying attention or you have already gone through that process in the past 5 plus years. If they have, count yourself lucky because it’s time to rebuild from a new blueprint.
