I don’t make any money from Medium, or YouTube, and taking clients is the only way I’m currently bringing in cash. (working on expanding that… stay tuned). If you like what you read or listen to for free on YouTube, sending a little note my way would really mean a lot. I also love your comments!! So leave those too! ❤
Sometimes, life gets in the way.
And truthfully, I can’t even really say it’s gotten “in the way,” but it sure has been happening to me in a big way.
I moved for the 13th time in 10 years
I got pregnant, by accident, which I had to release, grieve, and physically recover from the deep intensity of the process of medical abortion (new article coming soon)
I started a different job
My soul was asking me to focus on the things directly in front of me
And I imagine, it must also be happening to everyone else there out in the world in a big way too.
There is a divine reason for that.
I’ve described in my *previous energy forecast* that 2024 is a ‘go-get-em’ year. The energy is like a waterfall — raw power rushing forward to be expressed. If you have the strong banks of boundaries in place, you’ll be well set up to harness this energy and use it to help you grow in leaps and bounds (while gently reminding yourself, often, to say no).
If you don’t already have strong boundaries (and a strong sense of worth, self-respect or empowerment) heading into this year… well…. You’re going to get them.
We’ve fully entered Aries season which is technically the start of the astrological new year — New astro year, new energy. New opportunities.
April, according to my guides, and the astrology currently at play, is going to be the most compressive month of the year.
Read that again.
This is our one month to be fully going through it — to get all compressed, as little pieces of coal, as we shed out former skins and move into diamonds.
The guidance?
Do not try to hold onto anything where you feel you are banging your head against a wall. let go, and let goddess do the molding.
If you’re feeling stressed right now, or beaten down, or like you can’t get a grip on what’s happening — where do you feel like you’ve been trying to exert your control on the flow on life? Where do you feel you have been trying to force a change? Where are you gripping to tightly to an idea that has long-since been removed from your timeline?
Before my life took a big Aries-like truncates and asked me to hold on with both hands, I channelled through the forecast for Aries season. This is what came through:
OVERALL MESSAGE FOR APRIL
LET YOURSELF BE INSPIRED this month. Reconnect with old friends, say yes to the dinner, or the trip, or the girl’s weekend even if it feels a bit out of your budget. This is not the time to hunker down and hide. In order to change your life, you also need to be making new connections. So follow the inspiration as it ignites and presents itself in your life.
LOOSE THE ARROW, LET GO OF THE ROPE
This message came through largely as part of eclipse season — eclipse season, which started near the end of march and will run till mid-april, is a bit of a veil over the path that is your life. Let me describe what I mean by that energetically:
Imagine you are walking down the proverbial path that is your life, when suddenly a very large, very silent, beautiful veil descends over you and allows you to continue walking — without at all being seen by anyone in the outside world. This is a bit of the opportunity eclipse season can provide. It’s not the “backwards / slow down” energy of mercury retrograde, nor is it the “get up and go” energy when all planets are direct. It’s more of a casting of a spell — where for a short time, unbeknownst to everyone else in your life, all bets are off. You can make major, drastic and quantum changes at this time — shifts that will set you up for the rest of this year and beyond.
The guidance to navigate the eclipse energies?
Loose the arrow (on ideas, dreams, attempts), and let go of the rope (on relationships, domestic situations, and anything that feels sticky).
YIN ENERGY
“You deserve this.” .. If you embody yin energy, or are trying to embody more yin energy, or are connecting with the yin energy inside of you (flowing, receptive, internal, intuitive) — know this month that what you’ve got coming to you you fully deserve. It’s just that simple.
YANG ENERGY
If you’re embodying yang energy (active, fiery, masculine, dominating), I’m going to say this one exactly as it come through in the channel: trust her.
What I mean by that is trust whatever you feel is the yin/feminine influence in your life. It could be external, like your partner, your sister, a trusted female friend — or it could be the gentle, quiet yin energy you’re starting to awaken and connect to within.
I know it can be hard to swallow that one — but the message came through loud and clear: whatever the topic, whatever the connection, whatever the issue — trust her, with-in or with-out.
APRIL’s WAY THROUGH — RE-CONNECT TO CEREMONY
Wowowow, did this one ever hit me like a ton of bricks. Seriously! Like a big, ol’ pillow case full of heavy, non-harming spiritual bricks that knocked me back off my feet and onto my yoga mat for some serious daily ritual.
The importance of returning to ritual and ceremony came through as a sort of “spiritual roadmap to April.” Because I am a “child spirit” to the Galactic Federation (aka, a group of my spirit guides are indeed the ones running the show; enter my interest in politics), I occasionally get tidbits of information that will help me and the collective move more smoothly through the energy that is present on Earth at this time. As it would have it, I was fully in a flow state in the act of performing a ceremony in my own right when I got a deep download from my guides:
“If you want the gold star this month, and help in levelling up, bring an active ceremony back into your life.”
Ceremony doesn’t have to be all candles and prayer beads. It can be the way you move through your morning, the way you share a meal of the way you pause to sit down and drink a cup of tea. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, as long as it has these three elements: clarity, sovereignty, and intention.
QUESTION FOR ARIES SEASON: “WHAT DO YOU WANT TO MANIFEST?”
This was another one that cam through big-time from my guides. It’s Aries season! This is get up and go time, make-things-happen time, plant-all-the-seeds time. So if you’re feeling stuck in a rut of caught in the whirl of the eclipse season, ask yourself one question to bring your heads out of the trenches and into the clouds: what is it that you want to manifest? What is your dream? What are you wanting to call in, or bring about in this season? This chapter?
FOR THE STARSEEDS AND EARTH WARRIORS
For those of you who identify as a starseed, resonate with my videos on YouTube, or feel like you have a warrior’s heart on this earth (to help us fight the ‘good fight’ and move us towards new earth), this next message is for you. This one has been inspired by the ever-guiding Pam Gregory and applies to every week, month, and twist and turn in the this next earth phase as we go through this compressive cycle in our experience:
Stay on your eagle’s perch.
When you look at the all the intensity moving through the world, there is so much chaos and strife to focus on. There is so much hardship, and for those of use who are in the middle of this lifetime, and don’t have the perspective that comes with having lived an entire life (the wisdom that comes from elders that Western Culture largely lacks), we get sucked into the black hole of focusing on these chaotic events and we generally begin to fill our worldview with doom.
I’m not saying turn away from what’s happening, or to turn a blind eye to the atrocities and injustices that are facing our generation and this lifetime. But when you give those situations all of your energy, and you begin to spend your precious energy worrying, dismaying and doubting the goodness in the world, you’re taking the few coins of gold you have in this one wild and precious life and throwing it into a bet on a dog fight.
Stay on your eagle’s perch, and observe what is happening without getting down and getting amongst the fear and gripping within the masses. Spend your gold coins on what you want to create, not what feels horrifying and sensational and largely presented in our social media feeds. It’s just not worth it.
ONE CHOICE? — CHOOSE LOVE (this is non-negotiable)
This brings us to the sticky part of April — this intense, compressive energy can often make things very black and white — right and wrong, good or bad. It is all too easy to fall into a Depp state of conflict this month, with emotions on then high, cracks making their way through our current foundations and harsh words liable to fly.
This message came through as a way of making the binary energy of April a little softer — if you feel like you’re backed in a corner, or ready for a fight, or just feel stuck as to how you’re going to respond — make it easier on yourself. Choose love. Choose love, over and over again. If you feel you only have one option, make that option constructive instead of destructive. Choose love.
SEASONAL /SPRING: SUPPLE + STRONG
The energy of spring itself was something that was articulated beautifully for me by the powerful, healing Mimi Kuo-Deemer — a Qigong practitioner who resides in the UK. Click here for her energy practice.
According to the framework of Traditional Chinese medicine, the element associated with spring is wood — supple, flexbile, resilient, and strong. It is described that wood must be able to bend to the strong winds of change that blow through April and May — but not be so stiff that they break.
We want to expand and extend our energy in spring — stretching our limbs, minds and hearts as we open after the close of winter — but we want to do it in a gentle way — taking the time to warm our souls and integrate our transformations before we slide into the heat of summer.
SPIRIT ANIMALS FOR APRIL
The channelled spirit animals that came through from my guides were a mix of exactly the energy we want to bring into April’s intense energy.
ORCA: bringing power, (go after what you want!) strength, and a deep willingness to shine in the ways we stand out.
DEER: treading lightly, soft steps, observant, and appreciated by the people who know how beautiful you truly are.
Thanks for being patient while I waded through my own version of compression. Remember your power, honour your boundaries, and reach out to book a session if you need further guidance. ❤
