Magical April
Welcome to April, the month of the Ram!
This month has a lot to offer. Leaving the Spring Equinox behind us and moving forward into a warmer, although a somewhat wetter climate, with the April showers, moving forwards to Summer. The daffodils are beginning to bloom. The crocuses are starting to flower. Birds are once again chirping. Hares are hopping - ‘tis the mating season! The buds are starting to sprout on the trees and the grass is starting to grow again.
It’s a time of renewal, rebirth, and new ventures. Here at Flickering HQ, we will be spring cleaning. Typically, with the mention of cleaning, the familiars are nowhere to be seen...
Those born in the month of April are truly gifted and as the first sign of the zodiac, marks the beginning of something new, full of energy and can be somewhat turbulent.
An Aries likes to finish first in any challenge they undertake. They are continuously striving to improve themselves.
Aries is a star sign of taking action, so it is in an Aries nature to jump in firmly with both feet, before even considering the outcome, making them impulsive and a little impatient. This side of their nature does make them courageous, and even more determined to make things work, but can become a little short tempered or moody if it is not going their way.
Their optimism and confidence comes with passion in whatever they lay their hands too, but they need to watch out as all that passion can turn into anger and aggression if an Aries energy is not focused correctly.
In the workplace, Aries are natural born leaders, and in preference would prefer to direct, rather than be directed. Their speed of mind and energy can keep them one step ahead if channelled correctly and will always come up with a solution to a difficult situation or challenge.
Aries are very creative and quite ambitious, but do tend to live for the day. They are not keen on change, so work with what they have in the present and are not that focused on the future. This tends to stop them taking risks, but when they do, they firmly have their feet on the ground and go for it.
