Goals provide direction and focus to our lives. We need to know who we are and where we want to go. But the adventure itself, the steps we travel, offer us daily satisfaction moment by moment, continual fulfillment. Too often we keep our sights on the goal’s completion rather than the process.

 April brings with it the energies of the number Seven (the reduced single-digit sum total of April=month # 4 and, when added to 2010= 2014, becomes 2+0+1+4). The symbolic meaning of Seven deals with taking charge of matters for completion, for the greater good.

 Seven has always been evident in mythology, mysticism, ceremony, and superstition. Its appeal endures in religion, nursery rhymes, and folk sayings, from the reverent “seven angels before the throne” to the colloquial “seven-year itch.”In a tarot forecast, when Card VII appears, it’s like discovering that a herd of Cyldesdale horses has taken up residence in your backyard. If you don’t control the beasts, they will destroy what’s yours. However, with discipline and patience, you can make them move mountains.

 As the horse is arcanum VII’s historical symbol, travel and vacationing goes well at this time, as well as car purchase or repair. In the upcoming Kitchen Tarot (pre-order $5 off at amazon.com), the horse is replaced with a rolling pin, a reminder to keep both hands on the steering wheel, and stay in the driver’s seat—not in the path of the galloping horses! 7-luck arrives when you master opposing emotions or conflicting desires, and—like a baker—roll them together into a unified treat.

 April’s 7-vibration favors breaking from routine, remodeling and relocating, and is also associated with legal issues and government. Provided that you read all the small print, the numbers and stars are on your side this month regarding contracts negotiations, loans, and improving your credentials.

Roll over opposition with confidence! Get rid of damaged goods. Don’t let idealism cloud reason at this time.

 Under the Seven, each experience we have this month plays its part in total picture of our lives. The steps we have taken, the path we travel today, and our direction tomorrow are not by chance. There is a pattern. We each have a destiny. None of us is traveling alone.
