April 9th to 15th




• MONDAY, the influence of the Moon: the Moon is waning. 
On April 8th and 9th, the Moon in Scorpio will sharpen your intuition so you’ll be able to work out situations you couldn’t quite see clearly before. There may be surprises in store! You might also be able to lay your hands on items you lost a long time ago. Your powers of analysis will be greater and this will help you get to the bottom of some mysteries that have been bugging you! On April 10th and 11th, the Moon in Sagittarius will help you let go, take a step back and get some perspective on your day-to-day existence. This is a good time to wind down a bit. Perhaps do some meditation and rediscover your inner focus. 
On April 12th and 13th, the Moon in Capricorn will bring you a degree of protection. This is a great time for purifying your home – this will strengthen your personal protection. Check over all the entry points to your home to make sure their all in good working order. 
On April 14th, the Moon in Aquarius will see an upturn in your communication skills, however you go about it: by letter, in person, over the telephone, etc. You can log on to the Internet, or perhaps get back in touch with some old friends. There are some nice times ahead waiting for you, and you’ll find it easy to renew old ties.

• TUESDAY, your positive affirmation: « I can and will do things in my own time - it’s the best all-round solution! » Rushing into things is the best way to make a mistake. If you can take a step back, you’ll find you don’t waste your time, you’ll see clearly where the pitfalls lie and step around them, and evaluate your progress. All in all, everything will become easier. Repeat this affirmation until it really sinks in to your mind.

• WEDNESDAY, let go: slip on some comfortable clothing and, in a quiet room, trace a 2 metre circle in chalk on the floor, or using a felt-tip pen on a sheet or table cloth. Place a sheet of paper and a pencil outside the circle. Sit down in the middle of the circle on a cushion. Try to focus on the calm within you, ignoring the thoughts that come into your mind, concentrating on the feelings your body is experiencing. Feel the movement of life, the blood running through your veins, the air flowing in your lungs, the sensation of the ground beneath your feet, the temperature of the air around you…Relax and imagine hands massaging you from your neck down to your feet, until all tension and pain has gone. Revel in this feeling, down think about anything other than the here and now, the present moment. When you feel calm and relaxed and capable of confronting your problems without feeling overwhelmed, make a mental list of everything in your life that is not as you would like it to be and choose an image that symbolises your difficulties. This might be an object, an animal, a person… Draw this symbol in the sheet of paper. Breathe slowly and deeply for a few minutes, thinking over all these things with your eyes closed. Then, with your eyes still closed, say three times, out loud: « I am breaking the circle! » Fold the paper so that the picture is inside and throw it outside the circle. Take a few minutes to be aware of your thoughts and feelings, then go back about your daily business, with a feeling of relief and hope that will make all your daily challenges easier to face. When you feel nervous or overwhelmed again, cast your thoughts back to this feeling of relief and mentally throw that piece of paper out of the circle again.

• THURSDAY, protect yourself: you can protect your home, and with it the people who live there, by setting a little bowl of salt that has previously been blessed during mass. For this you can keep a few little sachets of salt in your pocket (the sort in a paper envelope) when you go to mass on Sunday, and touch them with your hand when the priest blesses the congregation. If you’re patient – and if you have deep pockets! – you can get enough salt to leave bowls of it all around the house, including the entry to the garden. If you life in an apartment, you can put some salt at either side of the door, under each window and in the letter box. This salt must be renewed and re-blessed at the start of each new season.

• FRIDAY, rediscover your friends: Friday is the day of Venus, and so relates to the world of feelings and love…In April, Friday is the perfect day for working on your friendships and leaving old tensions in the past. Take a nice apple, wash it in cold water, dry it then stick to pins in it in a cross, at 90 degrees.  Then say out loud, with conviction, these magical words: « May Asmodee awaken the heart of my friend! »Then, bury the apple at the foot of a tree, which can be of any variety other than a conifer. Here, the apple is the symbol of the renewal of friendship. Its shape brings to mind a heart, which is good for rituals that concern the world of feelings. Pins are often used in traditional recipes. They are the arrows of love the penetrate the heart symbolised by the apple – one for you and one for your friend.

• SATURDAY, lesson for the weekend: « I always have love and friendship to share with positive people and these feelings protect me. » Write this idea in red ink on a sheet of white paper and keep it on your person all through the weekend. Whenever you get a chance, read it and take a few moments to imagine yourself in a life situation to which these words might apply. On Sunday evening, burn the paper, after rereading it one last time.

• SUNDAY, your lucky numbers: 7 – 14 – 18 – 25 – 31 – 32 – 39
