APRIL 2025
Neptune transited my eighth house in Astrology between 2011 and 2012, at the start of 72 Days of Angels and the Brotherhood of Light, which was about exploring the depths of self. Now, in 2025 and 2026, and for the next fourteen years, Neptune would transit my ninth house, which was about stimulating spiritual truths.
As I thought about this, I reflected on my astrology chart’s diagram. Xs, t-squares, crosses, squares, and oppositions completed the image. I added 4 circles to make it resemble the Hopi Earth symbol.
On April 5, 2025, millions took to the streets globally to get a message to the United States government and its new confusing, abusive, and destructive policies.
It reminded me of the protests that occurred five years earlier in 2020.
Two months into the new administration and three months away from Uranus entering Gemini, I sensed the energy intensifying. Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, tariffs, the Stock Market, and government jobs were all on the line. The administration was sending innocent people to prisons outside of the country, reminiscent of Germany and Poland in the 1930s and 1940s. It looked more like human trafficking than a strict immigration policy. Once again, the dial on history appeared to be set on repeat.
On April 7, 2025, I had the distinct pleasure of watching a majestic peregrine falcon perch on my yard’s fence. As I looked at it through my living room window, it looked back at me and then flew off to the south, towards Greenfield Lake. In Native American traditions, falcons are considered messengers from the spirit world. They symbolize keen insight and clarity, encouraging trust in your intuition. Following the falcon’s guidance, I soon discovered the Greenfield Lake Veterans Memorial erected in 1950, positioned at the nose of the horse.
On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, members of my family and I attended the funeral of a cousin who had lived 62 years with special needs. She lived where my parents grew up, and where I was conceived in October 1960. Returning to this part of North Carolina always felt like going home to me, and this visit was no different. While I always held this area of North Carolina in high regard, it also had a dark history with the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacy. ( Article )
A few days later, my niece Abigail and her family visited Wilmington for Easter weekend. My 9-year-old great-nephew and I completed one lap around Greenfield Lake on Friday, April 18. I titled the adventure the Alpha and Omega; his first name being the same as my last.
I watched the following insightful video on the evening of April 19, 2025. I immediately added some of the details in the video to the previous month, March. I especially liked the part about Christ Consciousness.
While riding my bicycle around the lake the next day, I heard an owl call out to me. I turned my bike around and walked beneath a large Magnolia tree, only to discover the owl staring down at me. In many Native American cultures, owls are revered as powerful spiritual symbols, often associated with wisdom, intuition, and the spirit world. However, some tribes view them as messengers of death or omens of change. The Hopi tribe, for example, associates owls with intelligence and wisdom through their Kachina spirit, Mongwa. Mongwa is considered an enforcer of the law who helps keep law and order within the Hopi tribe and maintains the balance of nature.
On April 21, 2025, Pope Francis died at Saint Martha House, Vatican City, Rome, which just happened to be the anniversary of Rome’s birthday.
On April 30, I set out on my bicycle for another lap around Greenfield Lake. When I left my house, the sun had already set, and it was completely dark. The first thing I noticed as I pulled away from my house was the crescent New Moon and planet Jupiter on the western horizon. It was a magical sight. I put the following song on repeat as I made my way around the lake.
It was a beautiful night, and an overwhelming feeling of freedom washed over me.
