April says it’s time to get back to work, focus and pay attention to details.

Yes, we are switching gears from the lighter playful atmosphere of the 3 vibration in March to the seemingly heavier vibration of the 4 for April.

In numerology, April is a 4 vibration.

The 4 vibration resonates with the characteristics of Stability, Focus, Process, Security, Detail, Organization, Concentration, Precision, Practical, Responsible and Dedicated Effort.

The 4 is one of the no-nonsense numbers. It looks at the 3 vibration as frivolous, frittering away precious time flitting about.

In classical numerology, the 4 is often described as the nose to the grindstone number.

It really doesn’t have to be that harsh though.

The 4 vibration is practical and security-driven.

Lay proper foundations, pay attention to the details and you’ll reap the rewards of your hard work.

This month, partying will not feel comfortable!

This is a time to really focus your efforts on what you wish to accomplish.

We start off the month in fire (Aries) who shifts gears from expressing itself in March (courtesey of the 3 vibration) to wanting to build its own empire thanks to April’s 4 energy. Lay the solid groundwork for what is to come later on.

Toward the end of the month we move in to Taurus, an earth sign, so the 4’s element of safety and security and having a comfortable home, and savings account will be front and center.

This is a great month for financial planning.

I guess that’s why tax day is in the middle of a 4 month! So we know we have to pay attention to detail and processes just to get our taxes filed.

This is also a great month to get organized, clear away any clutter and to create systems and processes for your personal life, your work and your business.

The 4 vibration wants things running like a well-oiled machine.

Be aware of this so you don’t over work yourself this month.

You still need to have down time and enjoyment. So schedule it in!

According to numerology, the 4 can be very critical and judgmental… especially if others don’t seem to be working as hard or pulling their weight.

The 4 also brings out a tendency toward perfectionism.

So if you normally have this as part of your behavior, it may amp up a bit this month. Just be aware...

To help you navigate the 4 vibration of April, here are some questions to work with...

Things to journal about or ask yourself:

• Are you being self-reliant?
• How is perfectionism showing up and getting in your way?
• Where do you need to focus your energy now?
• What details do you need to pay attention to?
• How can you get better organized?
• Where does your financial security fit into your plans?
• What steps are you taking regarding your finances?
• Where is your security being threatened?
• Where do you feel secure?
• What foundations do you need to strengthen or build in your own life and work?
• What is currently stable in your life?
• Where do you wish you had more stability?
• Where do you feel driven to succeed?
• Where do you need to focus your efforts now?
• Who are you trying to fix or help?
• Is this need to help coming at a cost to you? If so what is it?
• Where are you working too hard?
• Where do you need to work harder and apply yourself to get results that you want?
• What injustices are bothering you?
• Where are you being logical and overriding your intuition?
• Where are you being argumentative?
• Where are you being hard on yourself or others?
• Where do you think you are being difficult or where have others told you that you are being difficult?
• Are you be stubborn about something? If so, what and why?
• Are you being stingy with your money or time or talents?
• In what ways are you being narrow-minded?
• Where are you being controlling?
• Where are you feeling out of control?
• Where are you repressing yourself? Others?
• What might you be feeling depressed about?
• What do you do to ground yourself each day?
• How can you stand in your power without over-stepping your bounds?
• Where do you need to be more practical?
• Where do you need to be more patient?
• Where do you need to stand firm?
• Where do you need to be more flexible and let go?
• What can you do to balance hard work and focus with fun and enjoyment?

This month, is a great time for you to focus your efforts on what you wish to accomplish, get yourself organized, pay attention to details and matters that you may have been putting off.

It is better to know where you really stand so you can create a plan to help you move forward to where you’d like to be.

You may find yourself more focused on your sense of security this month (personally and professionally)…

and finances play a big part in this.

Again, look at these things from a practical (rather than emotional) perspective. Detach and assess – without getting triggered and spinning out!

Knowing where you are and where the gaps are can help you build a solid foundation for your future.

Even if you take one teeny tiny baby step at a time.

Chill out! Cut yourself some slack (ok, not always easy to do under the 4 vibe).

Adopt the philosophy that done is better than perfect.

And be sure to schedule in some R&R!

Happy Spring… may your month be grounding and uplifting and bring a song to your heart.
Blessings & Love,
Karen
