My NEW Path is Illuminated by the Light of Truth.
I can see my destiny unfolding.
As we all experience this cosmic rebirth,
a new path and a new life begins!
Meditation for APRIL 2024
Now withdraw into the center of your heart. Meditate on the perfect lilies. This beautiful spring flower lies at the temple of your heart. Its petals are opening to the Sun – every petal gleaming and glowing with the Light. There is an ineffable light in the heart of the lilies.
Become enfolded within these petals, in a soft pearly light. You are within the temple of the lily, the Sun pours down into the heart…opening up the doorway to all empowering, unconditional Love. You are a part of this radiance and one with all of humanity, within the heart of the Spring Lily.
Think of Spirit, and meditate on the pink and white Lily, one of the first flowers of Spring. You are looking at this Lily from afar, as something outside of you. But it is within your heart, as is Spirit, always! There is a Light within the heart as well music coming to you from the Lily, the flower of Hope and Promise. The light from above and the light from within the Lily blend as one…as you swoon into the bliss of Divine Love.
May God grant me Health, Protection and Guidance.
The SUN has entered AIRES
Symbolized by the Ram, Aries initiates the energies following the Vernal Spring Equinox. Regardless of your personal Sun-sign, play the role of the pioneer and chieftain, the leader in unknown waters, as Aries represents. Imagine yourself to be a seed in the ground of Spring, sprouting as a dynamic vessel of life, reaching upward to absorb the powerful rays of the sun. Spontaneity, assertion, and a great love of adventure are natural expressions of Aries. However, steer clear of immaturity, selfishness, and reckless pursuits. Aries is the first of the three Fire Signs, with a flair for the dramatic, but fatigue and rushed energies can extinguish even the strongest flame. Remember that energy and persistence and a progressive spirit can unlock the magical creativity of your mind.
The good news, Aries, is this will be a good but life-changing year. Unfortunately, it may take until year’s end for everything to come together, which is sure to try your limited patience. The career path you make this year will continue to influence your life and stay with you for many years to come. This effort will reach its peak seven to ten years from now.
With the dawning of the 2024 Spring Equinox, we all have begun a new path. Pluto has moved into Aquarius and is known as the death/transformation planet; The full solar eclipse comes to us on April 8th, and appears across the United States from the Mexican Rivera, across, and over the North East onto Canada.
Also, in April, Uranus energy is electric, sudden and quick and comes together with Jupiter on April 20th. Rarely does life remain the same once this lucky transit is complete. The effects seem to be irreversible. It pushes people too in some way, cut ties with the past and move on to new endeavors.
This is what the energies are asking you through the spring months. Although some of you could experience a layoff, releasing you to move on to a greater career after that experience, for the most part, you will feel a secure background of energy strengthening your position for significant achievements. If you want to try out for a reality show on TV, this is the year to do it! These energetic, positive planetary lineups will never again happen for you in this lifetime! Anything goes.
Chance encounters and networking can trigger romantic opportunities. If you are looking for a new partner or to strengthening an ongoing relationship, 2024 promises to be a year to remember. The more you pay attention to subtle comments and shifts, the better prepared you’ll be able to act when the time is right!
Inguz — FERTILITY
INGUZ — FERTILITY—New Beginnings—The Hero
This Rune is akin to the moon, to the yin, the intuitive energy with its urge toward harmonizing and adjusting the sphere of personal relationships. It embodies the need to share, the yearning to be desired, a search after similarities.
The completion of beginnings is what Inguz requires. It may mark a time of joyous deliverance, of new life, a new path. A Rune of great power, Inguz indicates that the force is available to achieve completion, resolution, from which becomes a new beginning. It may be timely that you complete a project now. If so, make that your first priority. Perhaps a difficult state of mind can be resolved, clarified, turned around. The appearance of this Rune in the month of April, 2024, indicates that one must fertilize the ground for one’s own deliverance.
All things change and we cannot live permanently amid obstructions. With deliverance comes the release from tensions and uncertainty. As you resolve and clear away the old, you will experience a release. The period at or just prior to birth is often a dangerous one. Now it is time to enter the delivery room. Movement involves danger, and yet movement that is timely leads us out of danger. The Rune Inguz signals your emergence from a closed, chrysalis state. Prior to “breaking out” you may be required to free yourself from a rut, habit or relationship, a deep cultural pattern or some activity that was quite proper to the self you are leaving behind.
Inguz counsels preparation. Being centered and grounded, your space cleared of all unwanted influences, and seeing the humor, you are indeed prepared to open to the Will of Heaven, and can await your deliverance with a calm certainty.
Don’t be afraid to make the leap or take the chance.

The ELK — STAMINA
The Elk
Elk…
Your antlers reach for the Sun,
Show me that strength,
And stamina are one.
Elk wandered through the forest looking for a partner. The mating season was in full swing, and the bucks that usually traveled with the other males had dispersed to find mates for the season. As Elk bellowed his mating call through the forest, his bugling alerted Mountain Lion that a feast could be in the making.
Mountain Lion circled Elk, getting closer to his prey moment by moment. Elk sensed the impending danger when the forest grew suddenly silent. He broke for the high country when he spotted his pursuer, but Mountain Lion was not far behind. As Elk made a running leap for the timberline, Mountain Lion gained on him, but Elk continued to run onward, displaying tremendous stamina. Finally Mountain Lion gave up, having spent his energy in spurts, as he tried to jump over boulders to reach Elk. Elk paced himself, making headway as he climbed skyward toward the high country. Elk had no other defense except for his ability to go the distance, setting a pace that allowed him to utilize his stamina and energy to the fullest.
Elk medicine teaches that pacing yourself will increase your stamina. Elk medicine people may not be the first ones to arrive at a goal, but they always arrive without getting burned out. If you have taken on too much recently, it might be a good idea to look at how you plan to finish what you have started without ending up in the hospital.
Elk have a curious kind of warrior energy because, except at mating time, they honor the company of their own gender. They can call on the medicine of brotherhood or sisterhood. In discovering the strength which is gained from loving the gender that is your own, you will feel the comradeship that arises from the similarity of experience. This is a special medicine that allows the friendship of others of your same sex to overcome potential competition or jealousy.
Elk has arrived on the scene for April, 2024. It may be telling you to seek to company of your own gender for awhile. You may need a support group to realign yourself with the stamina of the warrior/ warrioress that you are a part of. This communication with others of your own sex allows you to air your feelings in safety and to get feedback from others who have had the same experiences. You may need a new sense of community, which brings communication in unity.
Elk could be telling you to look at how you are holding up physically to the stresses in your life, and to pace yourself so that you maintain an equilibrium of energy over the distance you plan to cover. Vitamins or high-energy foods may be one source of strength, along with some personal quiet time and meditation for replenishment. You might be forcing yourself and stretching yourself thin, like a rubber band, to the breaking point. Be careful of undue stress levels, or you might just create an illness to force you to take a very necessary break. The Spring Season brings a stress of its own, so this could be double trouble if you are not careful.
On the other hand you may not be honoring your desire for companionship with the opposite sex, and you may have forgotten the excitement of the mating season. If this is the case, you may find that your best option is to invite friends of the opposite sex over for dinner, or an afternoon outing. This is not to say that you would be sexually interested in these friends, it is merely a suggestion that an exchange of opposite energies could be rewarding.
If you are in a relationship or marriage, it may be that the “honeymoon” is waning and that you need to stir up some excitement. Persistently creating a “change of pace” is the kind of stamina needed for any relationship to last.
In all cases, Elk is telling you to look at how you choose to create your present pathway, and how you intend to perpetuate it to reach your goal. Your best weapon is the same as Elk’s. Stop when you need to, persist when you need to, and allow room for change and the exchange of energies.
