April has a fast moving energy and battlelines are drawn in multiple ways metaphorically speaking as well as in conflicts ongoing. Tariffs and money deals, transformation of economies and business and world positions in leadership included.
In this card we see the clouds are parting quickly and there is more transparency of global issues. We see Donald Trump is pushing buttons to get results, quick thinking and quick action are also indicated for April. But where is this all taking us? It doesn't feel good.
There is recklessness and fear indicated, leaders are pushing for action and results. I feel there is a particular time limit on this to wrap things up, to move on to the next phase. Looking at the horse on the card, he looks very nervous, as he feels the knight is being reckless and careless in his pursuit. The knight is not checking for danger in his path. If the horse stumbles it will be injured and we know what happens to horses when they are lame. Especially in battle or a horse race. In modern times of course we don't use horses, so factor in broken down or damaged military vehicles or breakdowns in communication with authority figures including the military for April. Bear in mind that Mercury is in retrograde until 7th April, and there is a couple of days of residual energy, just like after a full moon.
The trees in the card are blowing and bending with the strong winds and the clouds are parting showing male /Mars energy moving quickly this month. It is aggressive, authoritative and powerful energy which is bringing clarity and purpose breaking through. Pay attention to world events right now, it is imperative to keep an eye on political events.
The knight on the card shows us an individual that can be seen as brave, but also a person that is young and brash usually with brown hair. The knight is not stopping to think of the danger ahead. What if he makes a mistake? There is no backtracking allowed here, it's just keep on going and improvise when stuck. There is no doubt for what is in store for April, a leader is saying "bring it on" he is clearly going after his target and there is no holding back (Zelensky?). There is a viciousness in his drive to succeed.
Notice the knight's visor on his helmet is up. He has a clear panoramic view of the situation, there are no obstacles in his path, or so he thinks. The red feathered plume implies a quick intellect and a passionate mindset. He is eager for battle and action, there is no fear only drive to succeed, a clear representation of Mars/Aries energy in action.
We can add Uranus, Pluto and Neptune into the mix here because they are vital to humanity and this situation. Debts and scores are to be settled once and for all. Military buildups are indicated, which really is an absolute given these days. Trump, Zelensky, Putin, Xi, are all engaged in power struggles that will drag many more nations into the meatgrinder of war, not that these individuals care one bit. This is purely sorting out the elite pecking order.
Keep an eye on Iran this month something is about to happen that pushes Iran to act out. This is a case of being backed into a corner and obviously it triggers a hostile response from Iran. Perhaps the leaders of Iran should not be engaging in the evil actions they are indulging in. Its mess around and find out the hard way. Iran will have a forced change of leader to a US friendly one if they keep going the way they are. The US will not put up with things the way they are for much longer. The Houthis' are not willing to back down in being the proxies for Iran and the price will be enormous.
There are some Iranian politicians that are worried about this conflict but are powerless to put a stop to all of this. They know what the outcome will be for Iran. Iran will be attacked by Israel and the US to stop them in their tracks with lethal force. Bloody-mindedness on all sides helps no one, especially for civilians. I do not see compromises in much globally. Feet on the ground is more likely, I feel though in Europe it will be in Ukraine but more on an aid and logistical level from European nations. The European nations are only prepared to go so far, while protecting themselves from harm.
Financially, money is still tight for many people in April, who are still struggling to make ends meet with the horrific cost of living expenses.
There are religious issues in the news with the lead up to Easter, which falls on 18th April for Good Friday and Easter Sunday on 20th. On a sweet note, we have a little brown bunny visiting our garden every night for the past few weeks. Easter Bunny getting in practice, Yay. I love nature so much and I don't want the cute bunny to move out. He is welcome to stay as long as he wants and he will be safe.
Back to the card, I do feel there is a serious situation around Easter this year, it feels like conflict or an objection to Easter by some people. People need to mind their own business and stop upsetting each other, it helps no one. This is why the world is in the state it is in, get along with each other, or go sit in the corner until you can behave or 'adult' again.
Shopping is highlighted for April, whether it's bagging a bargain or struggling to get what you need. Watch out for angry people though, peoples hackles are up as the grouches are out in force with that Mars energy.
The war economy is booming for business, manufacturing is ramping up to keep up with demand. But is your country safe or well defended? It needs to be, because conflict is building up, and civilians need to be more aware of their nations defence capabilities in order to protect them. This is not negotiable, Europe, UK, Australia get your act together now!! Or be prepared to learn a new language and for boots on the ground after you get invaded! This is no joke, so get used to it fast. Governments are clearly not up to speed and MUST step up immediately on home defense now. 2 years from now is too late, you need a reality check now.
Tariffs will cause a major headache for Australia and the government will have to act quickly to readjust to offset this. Mr Albanese has not factored this in and after the elections are over the ALP has to act quickly to fix the miscalculations in the economy. Should have done that before the elections were looming.
I keep getting drawn to the birds, and the air element as I look at the card, which represent thought, actions, transformation and spiritual transformation, and changes in plans. There is a spiritual element to 2025 as well as April, this is not anything to do with religion though. No, this is collective human spirituality which is much higher and more powerful than religion. This covers the 9th house of the zodiac (transcendental energy and higher spiritual consciousness), as does the 12th house’s Neptune power connect us to spiritual and psychic matters.
Sadly this could imply a lot of sudden deaths in April due to terrorism, war, or a serious disaster. Please stay safe and try to avoid large crowds, especially outdoor events like markets or festivals. I feel there could be a large body count. This feels like the US, in an outdoor setting and Europe with the possibility of being targeted by extremists.
Please listen to your intuition and spirit guides, If you get a bad feeling about something or someone, please listen to it. Do not go to the place, event. It is best to avoid something if you feel unsafe, leave immediately if you suddenly feel danger.
This is your higher self or spirit guides warning you that it's not safe so please listen and stay safe, there is no second chance.
