The full moon came while Aradia and I were on a mad, seven-day road trip to visit four of the schools to which I have applied. We were in Chicago, staying with old friends, and managed to take the time to do our monthly readings.
My annual reading promised me a 5 of Swords month in March, which I definitely felt – late papers, stress, exhaustion – and an Ace of Wands month for April, which I am definitely already experiencing – with nearly 4000 words written already on various school and personal projects, and a new short story draft completed.
Here is my reading for the moon which has almost passed:
