What Happens When A Rebrand Calls

To accept or decline?

Lately, I’ve been feeling... different. And I can’t be the only one. I was informed about the April Theory. Essentially, April brings the flow of new, good things, is fueled by Aries energy, and is at the beginning of the astrological year.

One may feel rejuvenated, ambitious, passionate, and encouraged to strengthen a foundation.

Between the new moon, the solar eclipse, the mercury retrograde, and Venus, all in the sign of Aries. Everyone is stimulated to some degree.

If you’ve experienced any of the following symptoms, leave a comment with your experience.

Phase 1: The Vivid Dreams

The dream state has always played a significant role in my life. Dreams from my childhood live vibrantly and rent-free in my brain today. Yet, those had nothing on the dreams and feelings surrounding this awakening.

Three nights in a row, I dreamt of my menstrual cycle starting. I menstruate twelve times a year—never have I ever foreseen its arrival in a dream.

According to my research, dreaming of starting your period “may signify emotional or creative renewal, shedding old habits or beliefs, or the beginning of a new chapter in life.”

At this point, I’d made grand career pivots twice in the past four months. Though I didn’t know then, these dreams were confirmation that the previous pivots were only stepping stones for the next phase.

Phase 2: Excessive Daytime Sleepiness

I’m not much of a napper, but the small waves of fatigue were faint until they hit me all at once.

These symptoms of fatigue started at the tail end of March. I knew my monthly blood was around the corner because Ms. Flo is rather consistent month-to-month, but something about it felt different.

My symptoms of fatigue start with Flo’s arrival, never prematurely. And what I was feeling was more than fatigue, but borderline narcolepsy.
