For healing, the focus of April’s energy is on clearing away what no longer serves us. In short, it’s time for some spring cleaning.
Watch the video below for more information.
Don’t have time to watch the video? Here’s the gist of the month’s energy:
The rune Othila first draws our attention to property, assets, traditions, values, inheritance (both of real property and of learnings/habits), and also to the idea of separation and retreat.
This month is about discarding the old so we can make room for the new, and breaking away from energies that no longer serve us. “Retreat” here refers to knowing when to back away from a situation or when to stay with it. To do that, we need to practice submission—not sitting back and letting things happen as they will, but looking at things the way they are without any preconceived notions—to see what parts of life we can do without and should be cutting out.
The cutting-away energy applies to real property a little, too, so we should get rid of possessions that no longer serve us, as well as cut away old energies and habits. Remember, Othila also refers to relationships and things (including beliefs and ways of being) that we have inherited rather than consciously chosen to take on.
Think of this month as the perfect month for spring cleaning. You can do the physical spring cleaning, which is getting rid of possessions and physical clutter. When you get rid of physical things, you’re also clearing energetic space, so whatever you clean physically, you are also cleaning energetically, and vice versa. When you clean a space energetically, quite often, that makes it easier for you to part with things physically, so if you just can’t seem to let go of something, perhaps you need to start on the other side, which is energetic preparation—get your energies in order to really start making room energetically for new things, and you might find it easier to part with that something—which may be a physical item but may also be a part of yourself or a relationship.
This month, look at parts of your life that no longer serve you. You might find such parts in your job or in relationships of any type. It’s not necessarily an entire job or relationship that you’re getting rid of, but maybe part of a relationship. Sometimes we fall into habits in our relationships that cause problems within the relationship and we can change one seemingly small thing to improve the relationship as a whole.
Essentially, April calls us to look at the energies in our lives to really take stock of everything and see what we can part with.
Next, the Archangel Raphael Healing Oracle cards bring our attention to acceptance.
We need to accept things as they are, because we cannot appropriately change a situation without being able to look at it the way it really is. You have to be able to accept something as it is before you can change it. You can’t fix something if you’re not seeing it the way it really is, because you might try to fix something that doesn’t need fixing.
This month, we need to accept the situation, step back and look at things the way they are, so we can know what we need to peel away to really transmogrify the situation. (“Transmogrify” means “to change into a different form, especially one that is fantastic or bizarre.”)
I don’t think that the big transformation is going to happen in the month of April, but I think April is preparation for things to become fantastic—for your fantasies to come true. We’re making way for dreams to come true in the future. But to really be able to move forward in the future, this month, we have to get rid of things that no longer serve us.
So in April step back, take a look at everything from as balanced viewpoint as you can, and follow your intuition. Check in with both your heart and stomach. If something is knotting you up and making you feel not good in your heart and your stomach, that’s something you need to part with. If it’s making your life feel more hectic, more cluttered, and unenjoyable, you need to part with it to enable transmogrification to take place. We must peel away those things that no longer help us or serve us, so we can start moving toward the better things that are waiting for us.
