The month of April would be a time to attend to matters relating to the daily routine of life and to complete all tasks. 

Focus, concentration, routine and analysis would be the key words to describe the energies.

On another level, contemplation, solitude, quiet or embarking on a spiritual quest, may be the experiences of this time.

This month calls for finding solutions to situations and to methodically implement those solutions step by step.

Matters that seemed to have been stuck or seemed to go back and forth in the previous month, now begin to slowly and steadily move forward.

This would be a good time to take care of finances and to put things in order.

During this month, perhaps, many questions would arise in reference to one’s daily life, where there may be a strong desire to understand the basic theories and fundamentals of what is going on…

Hence there may be feelings of anxiety, stress and fear, that would tend to keep arising from time to time. Journeys to spiritual sites and amidst nature would help to release these fears, stresses and anxieties. Time spent in a peaceful and quiet environment would help to rejuvenate one’s being. Being on one’s own in contemplation, especially near water bodies, would help to bring in a calmness, including activities such as yoga, reading, studying.

April speaks of learning how to quiet the mind.

This is well explained by Ramana Maharsishi in his book, Who Am I? (Nan Yar?) –

10. How will the mind become quiescent? 

By the inquiry ‘Who am I?’. The thought ‘who am I?’ will destroy all other thoughts, and like the stick used for stirring the burning pyre, it will itself in the end get destroyed. Then, there will arise Self-realization. 

11. What is the means for constantly holding on to the thought ‘Who am I?’ 

When other thoughts arise, one should not pursue them, but should inquire: ‘To whom do they arise?’ It does not matter how many thoughts arise. As each thought arises, one should inquire with diligence, “To whom has this thought arisen?”. The answer that would emerge would be “To me”. Thereupon if one inquires “Who am I?”, the mind will go back to its source; and the thought that arose will become quiescent. With repeated practice in this manner, the mind will develop the skill to stay in its source. When the mind that is subtle goes out through the brain and the sense- organs, the gross names and forms appear; when it stays in the heart, the names and forms disappear. Not letting the mind go out, but retaining it in the Heart is what is called “inwardness” (antar- mukha). Letting the mind go out of the Heart is known as “externalisation” (bahir-mukha). Thus, when the mind stays in the Heart, the ‘I’ which is the source of all thoughts will go, and the Self which ever exists will shine. Whatever one does, one should do without the egoity “I”. If one acts in that way, all will appear as of the nature of Siva (God).
