April 2025, with its astrological shifts and the Christian calendar’s Holy Week, is a time for spiritual renewal, self-reflection, and embracing new beginnings. It’s a period to focus on balance, grounded transformations, and manifesting stability and abundance.
April’s brings a change of cosmic scenery, which might feel like a welcomed shift after all of the retrogrades, eclipses, and chaos March delivered! You start the month off in Aries season, which helps you reconnect with the most confident version of yourself. You’re feeling passionate about life and ready to set new goals for yourself. You’re back at the start of the zodiac wheel, and this is the prime time for new beginnings to unfold in your life.
As we move through 2025, we’re greeted by a powerful energetic gateway on April 4th—the 4/4 Portal. If you’re feeling a shift in the air or a sudden urge to realign your goals, you’re not alone. The energy of this portal is all about stability, transformation, and grounding—something we could all use a little more of, right?
What Is the 4/4 Portal?
The 4/4 Portal falls on April 4th each year and carries the numerological energy of the number 4. In numerology, 4 represents:
- Stability Foundation and being Practical: Think solid ground and strong roots.
- Balance and Structure: The four elements (earth, air, fire, water) and the four directions.
- Practical Manifestation: Turning ideas into reality through consistent effort.
In 2025, the energy is even more potent. This year’s numerological sum (2+0+2+5) equals 9, the number of completion and spiritual enlightenment. That means this year’s portal is especially powerful for closing old chapters and laying the groundwork for new beginnings.
Ways to channel this energy:
1. Set Intentions with Practical Steps
Write down your goals, but don’t just leave them as dreams—break them into actionable steps. This is the time to ask yourself:
- What habits or routines will support my vision?
- How can I stay consistent in my practice or path?
2. Grounding Ritual
Since the number 4 is all about grounding, perform a ritual to anchor your energy. Here’s a simple one:
- Find a quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed.
- Light a brown or green candle to symbolize stability.
- Sit comfortably and visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth.
- Repeat this affirmation: “I am grounded, stable, and aligned with my highest purpose.”
3. Crystal Allies
Certain crystals resonate with the energy of the 4/4 Portal. Consider using:
- Smoky Quartz: For grounding and releasing negativity.
- Hematite: To strengthen your connection to the earth.
- Black Tourmaline: For protection and stability.
- Carry one of these crystals with you or place them on your altar to enhance your practice.
Manifesting Stability and Balance
While portals like 11/11 often focus on ascension and spiritual awakening, the 4/4 Portal is about practical magic—putting your plans into motion and building the life you envision. This is the time to tackle those lingering projects, start new routines, or clear out anything that no longer aligns with your future self.
Affirmations for the 4/4 Portal
- “I am creating a stable foundation for my dreams to flourish.”
- “I am grounded and supported in all that I do.”
- “I release old patterns and embrace new beginnings with strength and purpose.”
Why the 4/4 Portal Matters
In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, the energy of the 4/4 Portal is like a cosmic breath of fresh air. It’s a chance to realign, reset, and get serious about building the life you truly want. Use this portal to clear out what no longer serves you and make space for practical, purposeful progress.
There’s a full moon in Libra on April 12, which is the first full moon in Libra that isn’t an eclipse since 2023! This can bring a turning point in a close relationship or contract. Should you stay or should you go? You may also need to set boundaries or discuss expectations and limits in your commitments and relationships, as well.
