Just a reminder about taking responsibility for our actions. If we screw up and make excuses nothing gets better and nothing is resolved. But by owning up to it we can find the motivation and courage to try again. People are willing to get behind you if you are willing to admit being at fault.

Spirit Library: April 2021 Ascension Energies – Courageous Heart (a message from Jamye Price)
Quarterly Review As you continue Freeing Your Heart, the overall energies of 2021, so that this world is more love-based rather than fear-based; April builds on the first quarter. April energies are Courageous Heart.
The topic of the magical name is one that comes up often in discussion in the Pagan community. So many people find Paganism or Wicca and decide right off the bat that they’re going to name themselves Lady Such-and-Such or Lord Whatsis.
MBG: No Fools Here: April Will Be A Month Of Decisive Moves, According To Astrologers
Rhetorical question of the decade: Who’s up for a fresh start?
This month’s stars deliver a dose of renewal. With the Sun in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, celestial spring is upon us. Shake off those heavy winter vibes, especially if you, like so many people, endured a year of struggle, stress, or sadness.
Aries, the ram, is the first astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Aries. In western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Aries is considered a “masculine”, positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered a fire sign, and is one of four cardinal signs. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Being the first sign in the zodiac, Aries is associated with the astrological 1st house.
Astrology Sign Taurus April 20 – May 20
Taurus is the second astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus. In western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Taurus is considered a “feminine”, negative sign. It is also considered an earth sign and is one of four fixed signs Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus (which also rules Libra). Being the second sign of the zodiac, Taurus has been associated with the astrological second house. The glyph is also the alchemical symbol for rocksalt.

Regret “The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I regret anything it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well?”
-Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
It’s all a matter of our own unique perspective. No one can make us regret anything. We have our own internal compass which lets us know if we’ve gone off course. There is always pressure from society, family, peers and associates to act a certain way or to live up to certain expectations. But the only one we answer to in the end is ourselves. We decide what behavior is “regrettable” or not

You may be too hyper to want to play it safe, but at least make an effort to not be naïve or irresponsible

Letting things go isn’t easy. The best way to start this process lies in our ability to stop struggling with the things we can’t control. By going with the flow of things we find that most things simply work themselves out. There are times though when letting go altogether is our best option. Look at it like clothing. Does it still fit or have we outgrown it? Is is comfortable? Is it worn out? If the answer is no it’s time to let it go.

That’s right. This is a dream.
You’re still asleep. Any minute now, an elephant might appear behind you wearing a pink tutu and tennis shoes. Or maybe the phone will ring, and it’ll be Abraham Lincoln to ask why you’re late for the ball. Or perhaps Oprah Winfrey is down the hall, live audience in tow, about to introduce you as her new favorite author. Anything can happen in a dream, anything, without regard to the past, without regard to logic, and you never have to figure out the “hows.”
Learn from your dreams, because the stuff of time and space is no different. Forget your past. Pitch the logic. And drop the cursed hows.

Regret
“Regrets are as personal as fingerprints.”
-Margaret Culkin Banning, 1958
Regret is personal because it really affects the one who is going through it. And we each experience regret in a different way. Some regrets are offered up with an apology, others eat away at a person. They can be big or small regrets – but we each feel them in a different way. Since we are here to learn and grow, it would be difficult to go through this life without any regrets. As long as we recognize that we are where we are because of everything –what we regret and what we don’t – then we will continue to move along the path, learning and growing all the way,

The moonless evenings around the spring equinox are best for viewing the zodiacal light after sunset. Now that the moon has left the early evening sky, the next several weeks present an excellent time for those in the Northern Hemisphere to view this mysterious light, which looks like a hazy pyramid extending up from the western horizon, when all traces of twilight have let the evening sky. You’ll want a rural location, as full darkness falls. About 80 to 120 minutes after sunset should be about right.

Inner Journey: USE YOUR BREATH TO RELAX YOUR BODY
“Breath is the link between the inner and outer worlds.” — Alice Christensen
We live in very demanding times, and our health depends on our being able to relieve our bodies and minds from constant stress. Breathing with awareness can focus and concentrate our attention inside. This slows down our pace and eases the pressure, anxiety, anticipation and excitement that are common stress reactions.
At any time, you can consciously experience your breathing to help you concentrate your mind and relax your body. Compare how you feel after your session with how you felt before. Write about your experience in your journal.
“Controlled deep breathing helps the body to transform the air we breathe into energy. The stream of energized air produced by properly executed and controlled deep breathing produces a current of inner energy which radiates throughout the entire body and can be channeled to the body areas that need it the most, on demand.” — Nancy Zi

Regret “The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.”
-Christopher Crowfield, Little Foxes, 1865
Sometimes the biggest regrets are for things we didn’t do, rather than for things we did do. It’s important for us to act on our instincts, to pursue our dreams, to say what we feel the need to say. When we live life to its fullest, and not hold anything back, we give ourselves more opportunities to learn and grow

Patheos-Pagan: Exploring Animism as a Natural Human Impulse
Animism is a natural human impulse, as odd as that might seem in the context of greater Western culture.

“I then remembered why I avoid the ‘news,’ if that’s what you want to call it.

Our beliefs create our reality. If we wish to live happy, healthy lives, it’s vital that we feed our minds healthy, nourishing material. The negative, sensational focus of today’s ‘news’ media hardly serves to enlighten us about the true state of the planet.Let’s open to our limitless potential by keeping our focus firmly on what uplifts us.

Regret “Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.”
-Victoria Holt, The Black Opal, 1993
Everything we do, everything we go through, has some purpose for us in our life, and in our growth. So if we look at it this way, how could we regret anything that happens to us? It may be terrible at the time, but sometimes it’s those really terrible times that give us the biggest spurts of growth. We can look back and see how much we’ve changed because of the experience – and how much we’ve learned.

How do you feel about anger, in yourself and in others? How do you deal with it?
Anger is powerful energy. If we are afraid of this energy, we may attempt to deny or hide it. And when we lack control of the energy of anger, we impose it on other people or things.
The ways we react to anger usually reflect how we experienced anger as children and how our own anger when we were young was handled by the adults at the time.
In reality, anger, like any emotion, brings us information. It tells us how we feel about what is being experienced. If we receive anger’s message and learn more about ourselves, the energy will pass.
“Too often we underestimate how quickly our feelings are going to change because we underestimate our ability to change them.” — David Gilbert

A Note from the Universe
Whenever an escalator to “success” ascends without you, (just “swoosh-h-h-h-h-h!” right into the sky leaving you on the ground), it’s always because there’s another one on the way that will go even higher, with your name plastered all over it.
Not to mention a booming sound system, tricked out wheels, and fuzzy dice.
Born to run,
The Universe

Genius “Does it not appear to you that versatility is the true and rare characteristic of that rare thing called genius – versatility and playfulness? In my mind they are both essential.”
-Mary Russell Mitford, 1813
Versatility, flexibility, enthusiasm – these are all traits that I would associate with genius. You’ve got to be able to go with the flow, take what comes and adapt – and you’ve got to love what you’re doing to be able to keep doing it until you reach the desired results. It’s hard work, and it’s also insight, seeing “inside” and having that vision that keeps you going.
