~ Astro-Color Guidance: April 2016 ~

~ ARIES ~
Growing Pains!  Green means you're feeling Growth in your Heart Chakra, Aries, as you learn the meaning of Unconditional Love not just toward yourself, but toward others, too.  You're having a bit of trouble feeling what others feel, in other words, you're growing into your identity as an Empath.  Rarely do you stop and ask yourself, "How would I feel if someone said/did this to me?" and now you are about to learn.  A Relationship partner is pulling away from you.  Why?  Because your naturally aggressive tendencies are not appealing or necessary to them anymore.  Love is a Battlefield?  Not this time, but it will be if you continue to approach people and situations as something to conquer.

~ TAURUS ~
New Green means Seeds planted in the past are beginning to Sprout, and this means finances as well as Relationships.  If not currently in a Relationship, then this refers to a Renewal of Self-Love and understanding your place in the larger scheme of Humanity.  Tauruses often struggle with Self-Acceptance, feeling as though they are slower to catch on than others.  Taurus, you are here to keep everyone grounded, but be sure you're not suffocating those whom you currently Love, otherwise said Seeds will not grow.  For many Tauruses, New Green means a child or grandchild is about to enter your life, which will further nurture Seeds of Love which are already sprouting in your Heart.

~ GEMINI ~
Gemini!  Diamond means you've just cycled thru a Spiritual Test and are Ready to climb the next proverbial mountain along your life path.  Ever the edgy Intellect, be sure your newly sharpened edges do not slice or dice anyone who happens to be close to you.  If you've changed or made changes recently, be patient and gently explain what's been happening to you and within you, remembering that just about everyone is super-sensitive to negativity at the moment...

~ CANCER ~
Cancer, you'll be feeling Right at Home and much more like yourself this month as Aquamarine appears in all its Watery glory to help you Relax back into your own Flow.  Yikes!  Too many demands were made on you last month, now that you've learned to manage everyone else's schedule on top of your own, you'll find yourself much more self-assured when interacting with just about anyone.  Setting energetic and emotional boundaries with others is not exactly your forte, but admit it... you've learned!  Even though you learned the hard way.  Everyone has their own Flow, too, so your lesson this month will be to Respect Others' Flow through Non-Judgment and Non-Interference.  If someone disses you, cancels their subscription to your drama, or blocks you on Social Media, Flow On!  Someone more like you will be awaiting your arrival at the next bus stop.

~ LEO ~
Lighten Up Leo!  Pink as your Color of the Month means you're taking something too seriously.  And you do know what that one thing is!  You may even be taking your Self too seriously... As with all Fire Signs, you are advised to refrain from taking your usual Conquer-All, perpetually aggressive approach for the rest of this year, as everyone, yes we mean everyone, is sensitive to predatory and/or negative energy in general at the moment.  Repeat: This month and for the remainder of the year, it's not a good idea to set out to conquer anyone or anything by spreading your energy, image, and influence all over the workplace or internet.  Spend time around children and lighthearted people to soften your stance, and you'll realize we live in a shared world, not a conquered one.

~ VIRGO ~
Virgo, you're the Lucky ones this month but note this important detail: Silver means you'll be Lucky in Unexpected ways!  Good practice for you is to stop straining your detail-oriented mind to try and figure out what's going to happen when.  By doing so, you're blocking your own Intuition, and perhaps even missing out on the fun when and where it actually happens.  April is a Feel-Good Celebration month for you, with returns coming in from past karmic investments that you may even have forgotten about.  If you Paid it Forward in the past, you'll see this coming back around to you within the next 4 weeks.  Be Grateful and Accept... yes, you do deserve the very best.

​~ LIBRA ~
Schedule a Lunch Date with a Leo, Libra, so you can mingle and discuss all things Pink... Pink as your April Color asks you, too, to Lighten Up and Laugh!  All Work and no Play lately?  Well... that's nobody's fault but your own, really.  Have you learned to transform Work into Play?  The simplest shift is a shift of Attitude.  In our Mirror-Back Culture, what you send out is what you get back, so try shifting into a mode of Kindness, and you'll see Kindness mirrored back to you.  Yes, we know there are lots of horrible things happening in the world and an endless number of ways to get involved to restore balance to humanity and the environment, but remember: What you send out is what you get back.  If you yell, you'll get yelled at.  If you resist, you'll be met with resistance.  Lighten Up!  And don't forget to Bring Your Daughter to Work on April 28.

~ SCORPIO ~
After a long season of Covert Observation and Fact-Gathering, Aquamarine means you're ready to Surface and See the Light once again, Scorpio.  Open up and Share, if you dare!  You'll make many decisions this month based on what you know, what you learned, and what you want or don't want moving forward.  Repeat that: Moving Forward.  Not sideways, not backpedaling, but Forward.  Onward!

~ SAGITTARIUS ~
Sagittarius... ready to settle down?  It's so not in your nature, but yes, it's time.  Brown means the Homefront is calling and you're needed at the hearth.  Hang up your walking boots and tuck your passport away for now... this month you'll have to refrain from your usual schedule of exotic excursions in favor of tending to the 4 walls around where you lay your head at night.  Remind yourself daily: You're not stuck, you're Grounding!  Sink your Roots into your Homeland for a month.  You'll be up and running again next month.

~ CAPRICORN ~
Whoosh!  What's happening?  Maroon means things are a bit Stuck, Sluggish, Murky, and Muddled around you, but here's why: You are Earth, and your Emotions are Water.  Earth plus Water equals... Mud!  You are feeling your Emotions for the first time in a long, long time.  Yes, it's true: Emotions can and do get in the way of progress at times, even hampering our ability to Work and Earn, which everyone knows are your two greatest skills.  Now, here's the important part: While in a state of Suspended Animation, you may take this Opportunity to Survey your Circumstances and Relationships, for someone and something in there is not healthy for you, and is either holding you down or holding you back.  Someone has a bad habit, and their bad habit is leaking into your Good Fortune.  No more running on Auto-Pilot, Capricorn, this month you'll have little else to do but face the Truth about your Circumstances which ultimately, you have created for yourself.  Be careful not to go overboard with Indulgences or Chemical Sedatives such as Alcohol or Medication, for the after-effects will set you back even further.

~ AQUARIUS ~
​New Green means New Love, New Life, and Healing of the Physical Body on the Cellular Level, all of which you'll experience this month, Aquarius, as long as you keep your Heart and Mind open to New Possibilities and especially, Forgiveness.  Changes you've made so far this year have cleared the way and planted seeds of Newness which are starting to sprout up all around you, but also within you.  Have you recently learned to Love someone all over again?  Or found reason to Hope, Wish, Dream, and even Play?  Aquarians in the Northern Hemisphere especially are seeing Signs of Renewal all around.  Allow more time for Growth, Aquarius, before committing to anyone or anything.  Our next big turning point is coming up mid-year, and then you'll see what were once Seeds of Abundant Living Flourishing as a whole new way of living.

~ PISCES ~
​Pisces!  There are so many good things manifesting around you, Steel indicates you'll have to work extra-hard at Staying on Course and Staying in your Flow so that your Structure and Flow will not be interrupted by external forces of flux and change.  Decide what you want, then Follow Your Original Plan.  Are there many options?  Yes, there are, but only one path is right for you.  Many people will input their opinion and well-meaning advice, but you know what counts and what doesn't.  Everyone in your circle of Friends is cycling through a different set of changes and challenges, so don't be alarmed by the variety of issues and problems which are brought to your attention this month.  Consider what is said, then re-focus on yourself and your own Life Path.  What is not right for you only requires a polite "No" to keep yourself on course.

Happy April everyone!  MHCI wishes you a Color-Full, Creative month full of Love and Light!
