Monthly Tarot Forecast for April 2016

Hi, I'm Brigit, founder of Biddy Tarot, and this is the monthly Tarot forecast for April, 2016 – and Happy Birthday to me.

April is my birthday month, and no doubt it’s probably some of you too. So have a wonderful birthday this month.

So for the Tarot reading for this month we’re going to have a look at Blessings, Challenges, and recommended actions.

So let’s get straight into it.

So for the Blessing we have the Tower card.

Now I know you might be looking at that Tower card and thinking: Oh my goodness, how on Earth is that a blessing? It looks terrible – this big tower struck by lightning, people jumping out of the windows which have got flames coming out of them.

It’s kind of a chaotic card.

And we often know about the Tower because it’s that card of destruction. So again you are thinking: How is that a blessing?

Well, here’s the thing. I actually really love this card. And it’s quite a special card for me.

When we have big destruction, the only thing that can happen after destruction is creation. And often times it’s necessary that things just blow up big time, so that we can kind of like get shocked out of the system and go, “Oh! What was I doing there?” And then start afresh.

So, for example, sometimes you might be in like a wonderful relationship and suddenly it ends and you are like, “What!? What happened?”

But then you realise, because one month later you meet the man of your dreams – and you realise: Aah, well that other relationship wasn’t actually quite right for me.  So we kind of need these big destructive events to happen in our lives so that we can remove ourselves from it and create the things that are more in alignment with our Higher Selves.

So that’s your Blessing in April.

If you experience kind of like a shocking event, something that has just completely turned your world upside down, I want you to know that it is a Blessing. You may not be able to see it at the time, but as time evolves you will start to see what is being created as a result of that destruction. So, very important.

Now the Challenges – really interesting cards here.

We’ve got the Four of Wands. Now this is typically a card of foundations – especially as a four, and the home, and celebration. So now you’re probably thinking: Well how is that a Challenge? Maybe you’ve got the positions messed up.

No, it’s okay.

I think what’s really interesting here – our Challenge is in keeping things calm, and okay, and in place – like keeping our foundations in place, because what’s really going on is the Tower, which is like ripping to shreds all those foundations that we thought we had in place. So everything that you thought would be just normal, and safe, and secure, is actually really being shaken to the core.

But trust me that it is for the good in the long run. I know at the time it feels upsetting and unsettling, but this is to allow new creation to happen. So if you’re feeling a bit like: What can I rely on this month? – just know that it’s okay. It’s shaking it up so that new creation can happen.

So, that turns us to our third card which is the Page of Wands upright.

The Page of Wands is all about starting a new journey. And I have a sneaking suspicion that this is about what will happen after all that sort of chaos and destruction that you might experience with the Tower card.

The Page of Wands is asking you to start in a new direction; to find where there is new growth, even when it feels like: What’s meant to happen next? Because you’ll notice in this card we’ve got the really barren landscape here – kind of like the desert – but his little staff, his wand, has actually got some little leaves starting to sprout.

So even when it feels like everything is sort of being completely cleared and shaken up and what-have-you, there’s going to be like a little seed – a little spurt of inspiration and motivation. And that’s what I want you to really follow: How can you start this new journey of exploration that’s actually opening up to you? And also really be aware of it – look out for those opportunities to start in a new direction.

So there you have it – that’s what you might be able to experience in the month of April: A bit of a shake-up, but remember it’s a Blessing in disguise: feeling like you’re not quite sure about what you can rely on, but know that that’s okay, that’s kind of part of this big shake-up that’s happening; and, in terms of recommended action, look for where you can start heading off in a new direction. Look for that new growth, that new inspiration – because it will be there. And by following that you’ll start to open the space for that new creation to come into your life.

So there you have it. I hope you have a wonderful April and I can’t wait to see you again next month.

Thank you and good-bye.
