Greetings!

April 2008 Monthly Forecast

Summary of the Month

The month has two nexuses* in it, on the 12^th for 2 hours and on the 22^nd for most of the day. They set the stage for a month all about love and relationships. Your personal goals got addressed rather vigorously in March, especially with the influx of King energy. April expands your outlook from how you relate to those nearest to you out to the people you know and relate to in your local environment.

The people that you love, accept, or tolerate reside within your 9 circles of acceptance. April focuses on the first 5 circles, from your very dearest ones to people you see regularly in your environment. That is quite a range to address. But then, this is now a King year, so everything around you is up for re-examination, and a good shuffling if need be. The emotional atmosphere also smoothes out and becomes more stable in April, producing a loving energy felt and accepted by all.

April Focal Points

It makes sense to very briefly address what the first five Circles of Acceptance contain. So here we go, a review of the highlights will help you navigate the emotional waters of April.

Fifth circle: This circle is where you have those in your town or local environment that you know and recognize. It may be the grocery clerk at the store, whose first name you know because he wears it on his badge. He knows you as well and even knows what you buy generally. This circle includes a person like your barber, coffee shop clerk, car dealer, restaurant servers, police officers and anyone who provides routine services for you.

Fourth Circle: These are people you get closer to than the fifth circle. Maybe they are members of your bridge club, golf buddies, your dentist, doctor, Vet for your animals, friends you have dinner with socially, people you know at work and see everyday. They aren’t close friends but the energy is collegial. This is the category for people you’d like to get to know better, but haven’t yet made the time to do so.

Third circle: These are very close friends, close confidants, business partners, cousins, aunts and uncles are often in this circle and others that you can really confide in. Your best friend or friends, mentor or gurus and anyone who knows you deeply is in the third circle.

Second circle: These are people who live with you or are very close to you. These include your kids, your parents, roommates, and anyone who knows the real you and has for years. These are more than poker buddies, they are people you go to in a crisis for profound advice, you trust them almost as much as a spouse or parent.

First circle: This is almost always one person. It is your mate, significant other, or parent if you still live at home. This circle has the person that you trust the most. While people in your third, fourth and fifth circles change routinely; this circle and the second change very infrequently. For the first circle, it may only change 4 or fives times in a lifetime, less for some.

April starts out, from the 30^th of March until the nexus on the 12^th dealing with your fourth and fifth circles. Our spiritual focus moved away from self-examination on March 29^th. Whether you did so consciously or not, your essence looked at what you really want and need to achieve your life’s goals. Your perspective has moved to a new level. What worked in 2007 may no longer work. Your frequency has risen. Information available to you has expanded.

This shift will allow you to look at whom you should be relating to most now and in what way. Who will your doctor be, is that dentist really right for you? Who is it that you socialize with? Are your business partners giving you what is needed now or must you bring in new people to address new goals, new wishes and needs?

You will not change all of your relationships; that would be too disruptive. But you will at least partially change how you deal with most of them. Because the inner reflection you experienced in March changed your perspectives deeply. That perception shift started last July and began accelerating in October. 2008 brought in new options and allowed you to examine what you could be, but didn’t force choices unless they made immediate sense. The King energy entered the scene in March and everyone reacted. Now, the world feels different, many old rules don’t work as well as they did. So April allows you to examine your relationships in a logical, but heartfelt, way.

The month is broken into three parts, from the beginning of the month until the 12th, from the 12^th until the 22^nd and from the 23^rd into early May. The 12^th and 22^nd are pivot points that allow you to examine your relationships starting with your casual contacts and moving ever closer to those you care more and more deeply about.

Until April 12^th. You re-examine your fourth and fifth circles of acceptance. Do you shop at the right places? Do you feel right buying drinks at that coffee shop? Maybe you want to support little independent businesses more often, rather than large chain stores, so a shift of your morning routine is called for. Some of your acquaintances, you will want to get to know better. Why not invite your hairdresser out for coffee, for instance? She seems interesting to you and looks like she could be a closer friend. You may have learned that she shares common interests that you now want to explore more deeply. This shifts her from the fifth circle to the fourth, your extended circle of casual friends.

This shifting will be going on at least until June, but most intently begun now. On the 12^th, we have a brief nexus from Noon to 2pm Pacific time. This nexus pivots us towards working with our third circle of acceptance. This window allows us to deeply examine who we really want to have fun with or make money with. Expect to form firm business partnerships or re-evaluate the ones you have with roles being shifted around and players coming and going. You may decide to join a new social organization or become very active in community affairs, like the Boy Scouts or Brownies, the PTA, your School Board or Board of Supervisors. The relationships shifted and formed here are consequential to you and reflect your new values. Others will be seeking you out as well, especially when they recognize what you can bring to a group.

This is all in service of expanding Mature Soul consciousness. You will want to level the energy in your new partnerships; with people viewed as having a role, rather than having a title and power. Now, the world wants less hierarchy and more representation. The disenfranchised should have a voice. The new leaders will be asked to lead, but not to rule by fiat or by force as granted by authority. This is a movement towards shared power and connection.

The connections forged this month will be powerful in the coming months and years. You have moved to a higher level of consciousness, irrespective of your maturity level. Your participation in the gifts and challenges of the physical plane will grow and you will learn to depend more on those who support you. Fortunately, the energy to form these partnerships comes from love and not lust; from a position of acceptance based on understanding yourself and valuing what others bring joyously. The bonds formed are emotional and long lasting.

Then we pivot again. The nexus on the 22^nd lasts from 4am Pacific to around 6pm and pulls you closer yet again. Now you focus on those closest and dearest to you. This is an intimate time, filled with smooth, sweet energy guided by your higher self.

You will want to find people to really, really connect with. If relationships are cranky with those close by or under your roof, you will want to listen and speak, love and learn and expand your forgiveness and gratitude. It may be time to add a room mate or decide to really bond in a sexual way. You will look at anyone or anything that you share close quarters with, so pets as well. It will take a few weeks to months to make all of these changes.

April is the jump off point. The product you want to launch may not hit the market until September. Your child or grandchild agreement may not arrive until later this year or next year. A new pet may take only a few days to several months to bring in. But all of these initiations begin now.

Gratitude is a major, powerful force this month. By giving thanks for all those around you who contribute to your joy, both large and small, you emerge as a powerful, attractive force; drawing even more love and gratitude towards you. This gratitude is benevolent and represents the most powerful force in the universe, universal acceptance and tolerance, what the Greeks called agape.

What all this choosing and re-orienting does is reduce tension as April proceeds along. Fewer and fewer choices will need to be made. This means the amount of relationship options you are exploring since the beginning of March will be reduced by over 70% by the end of April. Pondering so many options takes up space in your heart and mind and as you make choices and re-align with your new self, you begin to unwind. Some of these options, although worthy, just won’t be needed. So the amount of buzz around you goes down and you allow your focus to be on the choices you’ve made, which solidify those relationships, making them real and usable.

This solidity manifests for everyone as calming, love energy. This energy is driven by choice rather than random chaos. This is the most stable form of energy, longest lasting and backed by King energy intent to master problems, rather than deal with symptoms. The foundation of your next 21 years is being laid now. Nothing is immutable, but stability is more prevalent now than since June of last year.

The parallel universe information should be updated for you as well. We are now in a minority parallel. It split off in February completely from the main trunk of reality and it operates at a higher frequency than the main trunk uses. It actually operates at 2^nd Mature energy, quite refreshing.

The main advantage of this parallel branch is that it contains more productive, adventurous, cutting edge energy than the main trunk parallels enjoy. Politics is more liberal. Healing energy is more prevalent. Creativity is more available. This parallel is more prosperous, more sexual, and more spiritual. It also operates at a higher buzz rate. Older souls will require consistent down time to release excess energy, but more physical expression, sport, and exercise is available as well.

So, as is the way of the universe, lower frequency parallels have been seeking this parallel out and merging. That started in real earnest with the mid-March nexus. Many, many, many people have felt it. Most of you have brought other parallels here where you have been less well off, have injuries and so on. You can tell because you suddenly feel ill or damaged in some way for no reason. Or opportunities that were certain seemed to evaporate. You may experience moments or days of absorbing these wounded selves from now until summer, but with less and less frequency monthly.

So by merging you allowed your damaged self in the lower frequency parallels to come here and get healed. This parallel is like a trauma center for injuries and illnesses for other parallels. You also will open up bigger opportunities for prosperity here, so prosperity opportunities that left will be replaced by something bigger or better. The planet will be more spiritual here as well as more creative as more information is available thanks to the higher frequency. So inventions, medical cures and so on will arrive more quickly here as well.

We cannot say how long this minority parallel branch will last with certainty. Parallels by their very nature are unstable, they do not last forever. But this major branch will last several years at least with additional splits and merges. For April at least, we expect these merges to slow. This is because the planet needs to solidify now. It will pick up again later in the year.

But it will be a fun ride. Enjoy.

Issues and Archetypes this month

Stones, Crystals and Colors

Malachite, Chrysocolla, Lapis, Turquoise and Rhodocrosite are the big stones in April. Everyone wants to be more mentally sharp, with more mental clarity. Rhodocrosite will help everyone, especially students. For the over 50 crowd, it helps you get in touch with past lives and skills that you can leverage now, rather than learn something brand new. Most older soul have learned most of the basic jobs on the planet, so why not tap into your past and shorten the process for any new endeavors that you take on starting in April. Maybe you were a shaman in a past life. You can leverage that shaman skill, that wisdom and experience, to resonate with the frequencies of this parallel. Lapis is for emotional clarity and neutral perceptivity, Chrysocolla is for unconditional gratitude, forgiveness, and tolerance of others, Turquoise is for unconditional love and connection with all beings and Malachite aids with overall balancing, stabilizing, communication and connectedness.

As far as colors, look for pastel to bright pinks and fuchsia reds, pale to bright blues, light lavenders and mid-range greens and blue-greens. The vibrancy is moderate as well, not too muted or as intense as neon. All these colors open your sensuality. The greens, blues and blue-greens provide balance and stability this month as well as prepare you to be more prosperous. The lavenders help spirituality and the pinks really help you open yourself to a higher level of trust and intimacy.

Politics

Well, political energy becomes more and more certain nationally. The contest won’t be over after voting in Pennsylvania, but very likely will be certain after May 6^th. The likelihood of Obama winning the democratic nomination is over 90% in this branch of parallels and slowly growing. Hillary just can not seem to adapt to this new frequency. She is somewhat wedded to the main trunk parallel energy, which is lower than where we are now. The best example is the Bosnia “misspeak” issue. She really did have to duck from gunfire; she really was in danger, just not here. That happened in the main parallels. Her memory is from that set of parallels and to her, it is real. And it is real, just not here. She is trying to move this parallel back toward the main trunk where she is winning and her fallout is from the mismatching of frequencies.

That said, the big push in April is towards local politics. Expect the emphasis nationally to shift to include the House and Senate now. You can get involved in local politics to a much greater extent. Whether you choose to support, attend or actually run for something is up to you. The universe really doesn’t care what you choose either. You will decide based on your new needs. But the energy to do that is here now. All you need to do is choose.

Lastly, it is too soon yet for us to comment on China and Tibet, except to say, the Olympics will be a huge deal. Billions of people will truly get to see China, positive and negative. It will spark major change globally after awareness settles in and denial is reduced. It will be interesting times. Stay tuned.

Animals

Animals are big again in April. Take your pet in for a tune-up. Animals go through shifts just as much as you do. That can be any pet, even your fish. Your hamster just might be tired of nothing but the wheel day after day, get him or her a treat or new way to work out.

Your pets constantly supported you for the last 9 months. Even wild animals helped humans through this period. Expect wild-animals-in-peril stories to be in the news in April. They will want your love and affection now. Many will want companions, so expect that new additions will arrive in many households, either through adoptions or through pregnancy and eventually birth. Get them out; reward them with more trips and exercise and gratitude.

Weather and Travel

Weather and travel look really calm in April, especially as the month progresses. We don’t see any large earthquakes or eruptions. No more floods or tornados beyond what is seasonable. Just expect what is traditional or average as far as weather goes. The center of the US will finally thaw this month with the coasts continuing to have finer weather and the extreme Southeast and Southwest areas getting into the 90’s this month but with normal rainfall.

Travel also looks well aspected for April. Air, water, land, car, walking and all other ways to get around all look fine. The month is about relationships, so weather and travel problems mostly step out of the way and allow our look at each other to take our attention.

Health and Exercise

Get your heart in gear this month. This month is about second, third and fourth chakra working harder. Use weights, breathing and cardio to really work that center section. Eating well is also emphasized again in April and will be throughout the year. Get in touch with what energizes your body rather than what holds it back. The more natural the food, the closer it is to how it was grown, the better. Food from last year, held in a can will not raise your frequency and energy; fresh asparagus, for example, will however.

Avoid genetically modified food if at all possible. Genetic variety is healthy in breeding animals as well as humans. If one does not have variety, mutations and disease can spread more rapidly once they take hold. This is especially true amongst grains now and variety has been bred out to increase yield. That also reduces nutrition and fortification in those foods. Your body will want fortification throughout the year, so diversify your diet and eat as much fresh food as you can.

With the shift to the higher parallel energy, your core will need work to maintain the pace here. It just isn’t ready to run the energy at this frequency in all likelihood. It will tire more easily. It will be more subject to stress, disease, infections and so on if not managed properly. That is easy to fix and sitting on the couch isn’t fixing it.

Get out, get moving, stretch, groan, breathe, extend, do Pilates and breathe some more. It doesn’t have to be an hour a day, start at 10 minutes and work up to what you need. It is Spring now but it is also is a month of expansion and extension, so make it easier on yourself by working on those core body chakras in April.

Love and Relationships

Love and relationships are the major focus this month. For many, many centuries, love has been confused with sex and lust. This month, you will want to grow through really getting in touch with others. These relationships will last for years upon years. They will move away from being based on urges, karmas and a need to mate and more on the higher frequencies of love and trust.

It will feel like a nexus, a discreet pivoting point, when you meet someone you choose to deepen a friendship with. You will see that your energy and theirs is now in alignment. That alignment will be based on your new set of needs and requirements as will theirs. They will also be looking for anything from a new barber, doctor or car mechanic to a new poker pal, golf buddy and bridge partner to a new best friend, lawyer, stock broker, energy healer to a new mate, relative, roommate or offspring.

The energy is all about recognizing new alignments between people and agreeing as to what we all should now be for each other. This will be very satisfying and rewarding on an essence level as well as here on the physical plane.

Business and Money

It may not seem like it yet but we hit the bottom in Real Estate. The Fed also took some major, major moves which represent significant changes in policy in March. The government isn’t done yet as throughout 2008 one can expect more changes in regulation around the stock markets as well as changes in lending and borrowing rules. The minority parallel shift extended the period of time this will take, but also brought in lots of energy to solve it as well as brought in parallels to fix, (especially on the March 16^th nexus) that were really broken.

These parallel merges caused the major bailout of Bear Stearns; which, while retracting slightly now, also averted a major drop in the Dow and other markets of as much as 10% of value on March 17^th.

Expect housing to slowly improve now as sales begin to rise and prices start to firm up. Personal service firms, like healers, advisors, personal coaches of all kinds will have a banner April and May and extend that throughout 2008. It will take longer for consumer spending on normal goods, like cars, clothes and food to catch up. The stimulus package will help a little, but it will be August until we see all checks go out and be acted upon.

The credit crisis will also begin to ease as lenders begin to have faith in people and markets again. The crunch was not caused by a shortage of money; it was caused by everyone being unsure what the new world would look like. The year created too many options for everyone to consider, so reasonable lenders waited for more certainty in terms of direction. That certainty shows up in April and markets will slowly let out a gentle, profound sigh of relief and begin to expand, become less volatile and begin thinking about long term issues. People in business will be less instinctive and gold, stocks, and commodities will all stabilize with fewer emotionally based decisions. It is your relationships that will drive what you do in investing, expansion, and money-making.

If you are a buyer, now is a great time to seek bargains, especially in stocks and real estate. The dollar has hit bottom as well, so there is lots of opportunity for arbitraging.

Impact on Roles or Overleaves

Servers

Servers will be out and about holding barbeques; promoting favorite charities’ fund raising events, and being extremely extroverted. They want to really serve the neighborhood and help shift the energy forward through community and extended family actions. They want to be facilitators and doers, almost in a Warrior way, carrying the load and moving the process along. Get out there Servers, and move the train down the track.

Priests

The mentorship role falls to Priests. The changes they have been inspiring are now underway and people will be coming to them to check and see if there is more to know and better ways to move the changes along. They will end up being a Scholar-like resource for the shifts underway. Expect them to be above the fray and neutral, realizing that starting to change is not the same as manifesting change. They can also be taskmasters, catching those who seem to resist change and helping them move ahead along with everyone else. These are heady times for a Priest. They rarely get to enjoy life as much as they will in April.

Artisans

You all get the month to relax. You have had a very intense 3 months, being exalted and being of service to all roles. Now you can retract, have some alone time, see a few close friends. Go have a pampered day at the spa, recharge your batteries by getting in touch with nature, in the trees or at the beach. Time to jump off the wheel of creating and manifesting, creating and manifesting, and being all about your output. Instead, inhale and release, and clear your space so you can be grounded and have energy throughout the rest of 2008.

Sages

Oh, what a Sage month this is! April is all about connecting with others and Sages tend to communicate with others better than any other role. The hard part will be to get your Sage friends to take a break, be quiet, think and reflect. Even so, that quiet time won’t last long. They will want to make new friends, retune old relationships, get out and about discovering what is new with everyone and telling everyone else about it. They will be the Kings of connecting and partnering in April, moving like roadrunners to spread joy and humor to everyone and everything. They will have feasts, sharing fun and food as much as they can.

Scholars

The Scholars are working on their issues this month. They are into discovery right now. There are so many new patterns, energies, tasks, and hobbies they can look at for themselves. They will attract as many people and projects as they can manage. This month, will really facilitate their own needs and they will not be a resource for others nearly as much as usual. The Scholars will lead the path to personal expansion, almost becoming muses on that issue for everyone else on the planet.

Warriors

Ah, the Warriors will have a nice April. The stabilizing energy suits them fine; it has been tough to hold the fort down while everyone has been buzzing about all year, passing the Warriors by. Emphases on relationships, love, sex, camaraderie, exercise, good food and good friends, even if many are new or more expanded, suits Warriors extremely well. People will connect with this role and they will be a lynchpin for almost everyone. This will be the best month for Warriors so far all year.

Kings

Kings get a chance to really get into their true selves now. They have been waiting many years for what is happening right now, and they will want to jump on their chances. The Kings will want to leverage all the strategies they have been working on. This is more than just plans, more than blueprints; it is laying their foundations. They will be on site encouraging everyone to keep things moving while they simultaneously work on their health which has been a challenge this year. The Kings can now see that they will do things that have 3, 5, even 10 year impacts and really shift the entire society, family, or group they are in. Great times, indeed!

*Let us refresh everyone on what a nexus is. Within a parallel universe, which is where we all are now, are threads of energy. We call that the tapestry of life. There are hundreds of millions of them, representing all vibrational types, from high frequency, massive change energy, to low frequency, very stable energy. We, in our teaching, attempt to define and identify many of those threads of energy. Sometimes the threads are heading in different directions, sometimes a portion of the threads come very close together.

When they do, we call that a nexus. The compression of all the threads creates an overarching energy and no two nexuses are alike. But you can access that compressed area with intention on your part. So we try to help identify what the nature of each nexus is and how long it lasts. The close proximity of the threads allows you, the human on Earth, to use the energy more easily, with less stress and fewer unexpected consequences. It is a purer and more intense form of energy.

Have a great April; we will see you again at the beginning of May.

We often get asked why Michael can be less certain than 100% about predictions. There are two reasons. First, the universe never provides only one path, so there will always be some percentage of parallel possibilities that differ from the norm. Secondly, it is very important that Michael only provide information, not direction. Michael wants to provide you the chance to make an informed choice, rather than providing a path that you follow on trust.
