Em-Power Days, April 2011
My, oh my, looking at the energies accorded to this April you might have thought that it was the Oracle at Delphi or even old Nostradamus himself calling this the cruelest month. As it were it might even seem as if T.S. Eliot maybe wasn’t so ‘wasted’ but possibly part of Apollo’s Pythia and given the gift of second sight? Don’t know. What I do know is that I’ve done a couple of double takes myself trying to make heads or tails of the flopsy mopsy topsvy turvey energies of a month so strongly associated with rabbits running around carrying baskets full of eggs. You’ll be walking on the shells of those last incredible edibles for most of April, that much I’m pretty darn sure of as well. For all rest, well what would I be betting on if I were a betting woman? Now, as a former commodities trader I’m not too risk averse, so, hmm, let’s see here. And now. Actually, I’d bet the farm that all those rapid advances and breakthroughs we’ve been witnessing in the Arab world and beyond will now settle into slow struggles of resurrection and rebuild. Apropos for April as well. I’d also bet that the cosmic wildcards we’ve seen influencing and impacting Mother Nature on a global scale reach crescendo proportions again this month when frustrating delays and unanticipated restraints cause a collective consciousness to blow. Nature follows suit. And then April gives way to potentially one of the best and brightest days of this whole entire year. I whip my hair back and forth, I whip my hair back and forth. Preaching to the choir there Ms.Willow. But it was Eliot’s lilac’s rising from the dead that raised his hopes and so as we head to April’s end, like lilacs, we too can see the first stirrings of sweet relief on the horizon. The head banging harsh energies that accompany the first few weeks give way to an almost unifying cyclical and seasonal experience that is both energizing and exciting. Later on. Trying times ahead to be sure but if you can just tighten that belt a teensy bit more and get back to basics you will exit April embracing a bit more personal safety and security than you ever thought possible just a few short shite weeks ago. Who cares what the thunder said as long as there is lightning at the end of the tunnel. And there is. I’d wager big on that too. Real, real big.
Something Wiki this way comes when prognosticators and predictions alike propose a major news leak this month causing a flood of commotion while aiding and abetting a Truth movement already underway. Everyone’s a Twitter when this new truth aligns to set us free from hierarchy and henchmen who vouchsafe to keep sensitive security issues away from the masses and their pesky want for common knowledge. As for financials, all aboard the asset inflation express! Watch the New Moon on April 3 for another time in which Mother Nature could erupt or watch the 11th and the 18th for two times when we all could. Extremes in both tempers and temperatures with war and rumors of war still wreaking havoc with jittery stock markets around the world. Look to invest your energies elsewhere until April 20. All bets are on after that. See, told you I was a betting gal.
I’d even bet that the best personally empowering horoscope you’ll ever read is my new and improved SHUISTROLOGY! I’m so excited to share that SHUISTROLOGY ( Your Feng Shui + Your Astrology = The MOST empowering horoscope you can get anywhere!) can now be sent directly to your inbox each and every month bringing you accurate personal predictions and loads of easy, effective and empowering advice.

And, now, your Empowering Days of April:
APRIL 2 - Venus slippin’ and slidin’ and then grindin’ all over uber powerful Pluto. After all that sextilin’ you might just need some time to regroup and refresh. These planets providin’ energies that ask you to pamper your person in order to refuel and refill. Massage, meditation or even a Chi enhancing bath will wash those winter blues right down the drain while putting the spring back in your step. Add seven seasonal flowers to your bathwater (all and any thorns removed, of course) and let them soak for twenty minutes before you do exactly the same. OR you can use this South American Shamanic bath that promises peace, good fortune and harmony of the soul: Add handfuls of each of the following to your bathwater…comfrey, marigolds and Aire sacha (or balm) if you can find it. Comfrey for protection and luck, marigolds for restoration and healing of the soul and Aire sacha for bringing balance while banishing negativity. Rub them over your body as you soak. Buh bye winter, hellooooooooo happy spring!
APRIL 3 - New Moon in Aries or a brand spanking new start to another astrological year! This is THE day to start creating your Treasure Maps while also creating your fabulous future at the exact same time. And whatever you do, don’t forget to include the secret symbol on your Vision Board that I’ll be including on my blog today. HAPPY New Year! Redux.
APRIL 4 - Stop the pressures, um, I mean the presses! Nebulous Neptune enters spiritual Pisces for the first time since it was last stationed there from 1847 to 1862. It will stay in Pisces now until 2026! Even my wee one will be out of college by then! I hope anyway. Speaking of hope….Pisces this is a life altering changing of the guard for you! And Aquarius this planet that promises to sometimes confuse FINALLY leaves your 2nd House of Income after clouding that same space for the last TWELVE YEARS! Security returns to support your bottom line and you will never again in your lifetime have to endure the ups and downs in your finances that niggling Neptune caused! Welcome Neptune in Pisces by putting his glyph (google image Neptune’s glyph) down at your front entryway in cornmeal. Let it blow away on its own. As in almost everything else, size doesn’t matter. Hey, I said almost.
APRIL 6 - !!!!!!SUPER DUPER UBER FIVE STAR STELLAR DAY!!!!!!
For many, many, MANY of us quite possibly THE best and most extraordinary day of the entire year. You know what to do right? Access the Super Stellar link in my April newsletter to find your super secret way to make the best of a great situation. And if you don’t get my newsletter than you don’t get this info. For the life of me I can’t figure out why? Go to www.ellenwhitehurst.com and sign up NOW!
APRIL 11 - Mercury the retrograding Messenger speaking in tongues while conjuncting expansive Jupiter in aggressive, entrepreneurial Aries. What’s it all mean? Communications are given a much needed and really gratifying boost. Just make sure that your communications get a big boost and NOT a big blast since soe of the other energies of this day, including the ones attributed to warrior Mars could provoke explosions and anger, arguments, intensity and violence. Uh oh. Six smooth crystal balls (glass marbles will do) placed on a small and rounded mirror in the living room will leave you protected and poised for promotion. Everyone else will have to fend for themselves. Make sure one of the six smooth crystal clear balls is made of quartz to exponentially increase your chances of heightened personal power and PEACE!
APRIL 18 - Uh oh. Again. Mars marching on Saturn. No Fly Zone. Meaning nothing will fly today. Nothing. Did I say ‘Uh oh’ yet? Irritation and maybe more anger from delays and restrictions spills over into a need for immediate action. Patience. Planning. Channel the energies in the air into constructive construction and continue completing the Treasure Map you started on this month’s New Moon. Ideally your Vision Board, begun on the New Moon should be somewhat completed at the following Full one. This is a day that practically promises ridiculous reward for disciplined efforts, so, go on now, get efforting!
APRIL 19 - Mercury conjunct Mars triggers tensions and temper tantrums. Step away from the drama. And the family, friends, co-workers and colleagues too. BTW, you should also stay on the DL and watch your ps and qs as well. Bygones. Then call on the big guns to shoot this shit to smithereens. According to JoAnn Cornug’s ORIGINAL TRIBE it’s Angel Labbiel we’re looking for today. According to her and according to legend, Labbiel is an aspect of Archangel Gabriel who will, with truth in one hand and peace in the other, resolve conflict, sooth the aching Spirit and rain down Grace when called. Might as well call him don’t you think? “Labbiel, Labbiel, Labbiel…I call forth truth and peace in my world…now and continuously.” Should be your mantra ALL mid-month long! Keep this prayer handy for April 30th too. Just sayin’…you should be too.
APRIL 22 - All you need is love. Love is a many splendid thing. Love, love, love. Venus conjunct Uranus and LOVE is in the air. Literally. In the air. To attract a new love or draw an existing relationship closer: Take two pink candles and put them in clear glass, white ceramic or even crystal holders and designate one the female and one the male. Then tie them together at the base with 27 inches of red thread, ribbon, string or yarn leaving about a foot of space between them. Every morning untie the knots and move the holders a little closer together before retying the knots. Burn the candles for a few seconds while visualizing your ideal love life. Blow the candle out and continue the next day. Eventually the candle holders will touch. On that day allow the candles to burn all the way down. After this happens leave the holders bound together for seven more consecutive days before dismantling the cure. Gonna get you some love lucky now alright. Definitely gonna get you some LOVE lucky now!
APRIL 23 - After one of the most trying and testy Mercury retrogrades in recent memory that planet of communications FINALLY FREAKIN’ MOVES FORWARD! With a happy and harmonious Venus once again coming on strong and then hooking up wtih big ole powerful Pluto this is also a fine day to attract both money and love. I think Florence Shinn summed it up best when she said, “The floodgates of my good NOW open.” You might want to spend this day saying that same thing. Nine times out loud when you wake and then another nine times at noon. Nine times once again before it’s lights out and off to sleep you go. SWEET DREAMS. No, really, SWEET DREAMS.
APRIL 25 - Quarter Moon in Aquarius brings a welcome wave of relief from recent tense, angry, frazzled and frustrating energies. Couldn’t come at a better time either. With the Moon ever so slightly SEXtiling Venus (it’s like being a little bit pregnant) there is enough love and peace to go around. GREAT energies for healing relationships and rifts that may have boiled over in the past few weeks. LOVE might mean never having to say you’re sorry in Erich Segal’s world, but here in the real one a sincere apology can mend fences faster than anything else. OR you can write the name of the person you peeved in green ink on white paper. Fold into quarters and put that paper in any receptacle that has a lid (a jar?) and then completely cover with honey. Seal the lid and leave on a kitchen counter for the next nine nights straight. Each evening light a small white candle close to the jar and send healing, loving energies to the other party. In eight days time you’ll be celebrating your friendship all over again.
APRIL 29 - Wills and Kate say “I DO” …with a Brit accent. No other astro energies to speak of while those two do the talking.
APRIL 30 - Venus opposing Saturn. ALL work and NO play might make Jack a dull boy but, today, that credo will also allow him most favored status. Follow suit or risk making the ones that pay you pissed off. And then put the Feng Shui image of Monkey on Horse’s Back in your CAREER area and leave it there for the next three days. After that transplant it to FAME for the foreseeable. Don’t know where CAREER and FAME are? Go to www.ellenwhitehurst.com and hit the BAGUA link. Better that monkey be on the horse’s back then on yours right? Besides while he’s perched there he brings you promotion, recognition and rewards. Good monkey.
