Theme for April: Weaving the Way
What are you binding yourself to, again and again?
Do you sometimes find yourself in what feels like a 'double bind'? We work this month with the energy of binding - breaking vows that are not serving us, shining a light on those we cant see clearly, and weaving in new threads tho what truly aligns with our desires.
This month feels quieter than last, but do not mistake that for softness without power. There is something ancient moving through — something that asks us to come closer, to sit with it, to listen. Not everything needs to be solved right now. Some things are asking to be tended, sometimes for years and years. Can we welcome in true wisdom by not expecting it to fit into our stories and calculations - at least not right away?
We are being shown the threads. The beliefs, the stories, the ways we have learnt to move through the world — and the ways we continue to choose them, consciously or not. There is an invitation here to notice what you are reinforcing simply by repeating it. What are you feeding? What are you weaving into form through your attention, your words, your everyday agreements?
There is something deeply ancestral in this. It may feel like you are touching into patterns that did not begin with you. Ways of being that have been carried, held, protected even. And yet, not all of it is yours to keep. You are allowed to unbind. You are allowed to choose differently. This is where the power is this month — not in forcing change, but in gently, consistently weaving a new way.
Considering the impossible possible - the third way, what would it look like?
You may also feel a pull towards others — towards spaces where something shared can be created. This is not a solitary month, even if you crave moments of being alone. There is medicine in collaboration now, in being witnessed, in witnessing others. Notice where you are being asked to show up, to contribute, to take part in something that exists beyond just you. Even if it feels daunting there may be medicine in gathering now as we work so deeply with the stories of the heart which are so often relational for humans.
Grounding is essential. Come back to the body. Come back to the land where you can. Let yourself be held by something that does not require you to perform. There is a steadiness available here, a way of anchoring that allows everything else to move without taking you with it. Know yourself to be a child of Earth.
The energy may feel subtle, but like a tapestry it is precise. Small actions matter. Repetition matters. The way you move through your day matters. This is the weaving. This is how the path is made — not all at once, but thread by thread, choice by choice. There is also something moving through voice, through sound, through expression. You may feel called to speak, to sing, to name things in a new way. Let it come as it does. It does not need to be perfect to be powerful, it doesnt need to be perfect to be a perfect weaving of truth.

Tarotscopes:
Read your sun, moon and rising sign for a fuller picture, it can be nice to read these at the beginning and end of the month. See the theme of the month to situate your reading.
Each sign has an invitation to work with a colour, shape, plant or otherwise. 'Work with them' by taking time with them energetically or physically: think about them/look at them/ dream on them - see what arises. All energies carry wisdom. If you want to work further with your reading feel free to book a 1:1 and let me know you'd like to deepen into the mythos of your month ahead.
Aquarius
This month carries a sense of forward motion, but not without emotional undercurrents guiding your direction. You may find yourself navigating relationships or inner states that require both courage and vulnerability — a balance between moving ahead and staying open-hearted. There is a theme of alignment here, where what you feel and what you pursue begin to mirror one another more clearly. Pay attention to connections that feel reciprocal and energising. You are being asked to trust your ability to steer your life with intention, even when emotions feel close to the surface. Work with the colour silver, flowing water, horse and the full moon this month.
Capricorn
There is a deep shedding taking place this month, one that may ask you to confront patterns rooted in conflict or survival. You could find yourself reassessing past dynamics where power, control, or miscommunication played a role. This is not about revisiting for the sake of pain, but for reclaiming your authority and choosing differently moving forward. Ground yourself in what is steady and supportive as you move through this transition. Wisdom is available when you pause and observe rather than react. Work with the medicine of compost, the archetype of the ring and golden hues.
Sagittarius
This month invites you to slow down and become more intentional with your energy and resources. While there may be momentum building around you, you are being encouraged to create space for rest and integration. Not everything needs to be acted on immediately — discernment will be your ally. You may find that by holding back slightly, you gain a clearer perspective on what truly matters. Stability is cultivated through both movement and stillness. Work with the image of a closed treasure chest, swift arrows in the sky, a resting body, and a stone foundation.
Aries
There is a strong pull toward the unseen this month — emotions, dreams, and subconscious patterns may rise to the surface asking for your attention. At the same time, you are being called to remain grounded in your daily life and responsibilities. Tension may arise between inner uncertainty and external pressures, but this is an opportunity to strengthen your trust in yourself. Growth comes through navigating discomfort with patience rather than force. Work with the image of an acorn in soil, lantern and the frequency of potential.
Taurus
You may find yourself reflecting on belief systems and commitments this month, especially those that have shaped your decisions over time. There is a sense of pause here — a moment to consider whether you are acting from habit or true alignment. Patience will be required as things may not yet feel fully clear. Trust that the work you have already put in is unfolding beneath the surface, even if results are not immediately visible. Work with the image of a stone temple, roots networks, and an open field.
Cancer
This month brings a powerful mix of clarity and emotional renewal, though it may arrive through unexpected shifts. You could experience a moment of truth that changes how you see a situation, opening the door for a new beginning of the heart. While this may feel destabilising at first, it ultimately clears space for something more aligned and authentic. Allow yourself to feel fully, while also trusting the rebalancing that is taking place. Work with the image of an overflowing cup, lavender skies, lightning striking, and open hands.
Virgo
You are stepping into a period of both expansion and deep introspection. There may be a sense of starting fresh, yet with heightened awareness of your inner world and emotional patterns. Leadership energy is present, asking you to take ownership of your direction while also practising moderation and patience. This is about integrating instinct with wisdom. Trust yourself, but move with care. Work with the image of an open road, a reflective moon, a steady throne, and flowing water between vessels - much is coming to you this month from deep remembrance.
Scorpio
This month may bring attention to emotional wounds connected to stability, security, or self-worth. You are being invited to nurture yourself through moments of discomfort rather than pushing them aside. There is a rebuilding process happening — one that asks for both softness and practicality. Pain may surface, but it is paired with the opportunity to create something more supportive and aligned over time. Trust in your ability to hold both grief and growth simultaneously. Work with gold, the humble apple pie, diamond or lattice patterns and bright pink.
Pisces
This month asks you to find balance between holding on and allowing expansion. You may feel a pull to protect your energy or resources, while simultaneously sensing that something new is ready to unfold. There is no need to rush — growth is happening steadily, even if it feels subtle. Trust in your longer-term vision and allow yourself to look ahead with quiet confidence. What you are building now has the potential to carry you further than you expect. Work with the rainbow, the frequency of balance and get your hands into the soil where possible,
Gemini
There may be a heightened awareness of patterns this month, particularly those tied to habits, attachments, or ways of seeking pleasure and connection. At the same time, there is a strong sense of joy and community available to you. You are being asked to notice where something may be limiting your freedom, even if it appears enjoyable on the surface. True lightness comes from conscious choice. Surround yourself with people and experiences that genuinely uplift you. Work with the image of entwined vines, raised glasses, bright sunlight, and celebration.
Leo
This month may feel somewhat scattered, as multiple options or paths present themselves at once. It could be difficult to determine which direction is most aligned, especially if external pressures or competition are present. Take care not to be pulled into unnecessary conflict or distraction. Clarity will come when you simplify and focus your energy. Not every opportunity requires your attention. Work with the magic of clouds and sky, pastel hues and soft blankets/clothes.
Libra
You are moving through a period that calls for surrender, patience, and quiet transformation. There may be a sense of suspension, as though things are not progressing in the way you expected — yet beneath the surface, something meaningful is taking shape. You are being encouraged to trust your inner wisdom and recognise your own ability to shape your reality. A shift in perspective will open new possibilities. Work with the image of the burning candle, your ancestral lineages, nurtriton and dietry health and bright creative green colour.
