 Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome back to Art of Awakening. My name is Ony Christy, and this is my intuitive energy update for April 2023. I'm really excited for this coming month in this video. I'm going to share, first of all, an overview of the astrology of April 2023. And then some intuitive downloads that I've received around the energies of April, including this new painting, which channels the power of these energies, will be addressing how to use the energies of 2023 in April in a positive way that will help yourself and others. And that will include this month's Akashic message that offers a specific practice that will help you to stay grounded and help you to be a force for positive and peaceful change throughout this month and the next two years. So let's start with the channeled artwork. And when I first started to tune into the energies of this month of April 2023, first thing I saw right off the bat was this beautiful big horse running free. And so just a lot of air energy around that. The download was winds of change. Okay, so we may be seeing some instability on stable things happening in April. There will be a desire for freedom that was huge. Desire for freedom that may be unfocused or chaotic, right? So we're going to be looking at how to address that. But these are powerful energies and powerful energies for change. And there's a lot of fire energy too that I'm feeling. So potentially we could see some wildfires. So the overall feeling was the heightened intuitive capacity that opened up around the March equinox of this year, now being given free reign to express itself. So as soon as I realized that we were going to be working with big horse energy this month, I just got this big download to reach out to my friend and client Wendy Mills, who is an amazing nature photographer and I know she's done incredible work with horse photography in particular. She has a whole book that she created as a fundraiser for the United Pegasus Foundation, which is a thoroughbred horse rescue in California. So this painting is based on some of Wendy's amazing photographs. And I'll be interviewing her soon, just about working with these amazing animals. So watch for that because their stories are really heartwarming, but she was kind enough to let me use some of her photographs as inspiration for this piece. And so let's go in a little deeper and look at some of the symbolism of horse energy and what it means to be breaking free. Horse energy has a lot to do with balance and especially this balance is tension between service and freedom. And I feel like a lot of us feel that right we really want to help and be of service to others, but we also want our freedom and be able to express who we are and express our purpose and do that on encumbered right without being totally controlled by others. So it can be a real tension between these two things. And when working on this piece, and this is one of the messages that came through as I was working with these these images and these horses and this horse energy. And we share my screen here, because I was just given this very graphic way to understand, you know, the this balance that we are seeking here. And so this represents on the left here, it says service and on the right freedom. Remember the law of polarity right the fourth hermetic principle tells us that everything happens along a spectrum right that there will be extremes and when in the case of service, the extreme here on the negative side is slavery. Right. And so we have emotions because one other thing about horse energy, it connects with the sacred chakra, and it can bring up lots of emotions right let's look at some of the emotions around slavery. And let's change to read for negative here, the motions associated with slavery, we're looking at resentment is a big one. We are going to be looking at shame, a lot of feelings of shame, as well as often apathy. Okay, so watch for those kind of emotions. And we'll kind of indicate that you may be in some sort of an enslaved state. And some remember that sometimes a lot of times that comes through our own self right or through past experience in, and former lives, all sorts of reasons which we can be feeling that but it tends to keep us in that state of victimization or slavery. And before we go on to the positive let's look at freedom here. And the negative polarity associated with freedom is going to be lawlessness or chaos. Right. And a lot of times that is what our ego is afraid of right that's what often keeps us in slavery is the fear of freedom and the negative side of freedom right so if our ego is. fixating on the negative it's going to see any freedom as you know, having that capacity to bring chaos or lawlessness it's afraid of that so it wants to keep us in slavery. Emotions associated with lawlessness and chaos anxiety. It's a big one. And that's one that I think a lot of people are feeling right now. Aggression right out of fear, right fear aggression. And fear itself is going to be a big, big emotion around around lawlessness. Okay, so let's look at the positive polls of each of these. And on this degree, and on the positive side of service. Let's just call it divine service, or we can call it purpose. Right, and some of the emotions around that are going to be love, right wonder perhaps a fulfillment. And let's look at the other side of freedom and the positive pole of freedom. It's going to be right divine order. The freedom and we can also call it purpose, the freedom to follow your own heart to you know follow your purpose and that always that's going to lead to divine order. Okay, and then finally, the emotions around this. We're going to be looking at things like harmony. Peace. Right. Again, fulfillment, you know, abundance and so forth right. Why am I doing this because let's look at these things over here service and freedom always appear to be diametrically opposed right service versus freedom you think they're their opposites. When we look at the negative side the negative polarity they are right slavery being completely control and lawlessness, absolutely no control at all. But when we look at the polarities of each of these it both comes down. It both comes down to purpose. Okay, so we can see that in actuality service and freedom are actually two poles on a continuum and when we find balance. That's the sweet spot and this is true of just about any polarity. When we find come together in the sweet spot in the middle, we're going to find that balanced and that's going to open up into the divine right. This is the point of love. Okay, and so that's what this painting symbolizes right is breaking through because horse energy is so much about balance. If you're a horse person, especially, or, you know, the horse is a prominent spirit animal for you balance maybe one of your biggest things to work with. Because it's, it can be a very volatile energy it can be very kind of ungrounded sometimes. When we work with horse energy. It's a lot of it is about grounding and learning to sit right there's think of an equestrian seated in the saddle and they have to really kind of ground themselves into the saddle and they have to come to this calmness and stillness inside in order to connect with that horse and help the horse take its tremendous power and its emotional reactiveness and then channel that in ways that are going to be positive and helping to move forward and move over obstacles. Okay, so this painting really symbolizes this balance between freedom and service and how it really finding that balance is what helps to bring you forward out of this chaotic energy and into this beautiful moving forward kind of energy with the years put forward and in a nice balanced feeling. So before we move on to the astrology of April 2023. And I just want to introduce this fundraiser that we're doing for the United Pegasus Foundation. As always, I know that there is one person that this painting is meant for. So if that's you if you're feeling really a surge of energy around this painting. Because this painting is really going to assist you in working with these any kind of horse energy that you're working with in a balanced way in a positive way. And this month, 30% of the price of this original painting is going to go to the United Pegasus Foundation to help them build their new facility. And also 100% of the profits from the Prince of this painting this month and 10% of net profit from all the other prints on my website plus 20% of private sessions booked this month are all going to go to help the horses. So links to all of those will be in the description box. And with that, let's move on to the astrology of April 2023. Okay, so we are in airy season since I just moved into areas in late March, and will be moving from areas into tourists on the 20th, but not before the first eclipse of the year. Okay, so the 19th or 20th, depending where you are in the world. The new moon total solar eclipse in the last degree of areas. Okay, and so as we all know areas is this tremendous high energy new beginnings, kind of sign, right. So we're working with that areas energy throughout most of this month. And this eclipse in in mid to late April is going to be the first of a whole series of Aries and Libra Eclipses that are going to carry us through the next whole two years. Right. So this, this month of April 2023 indicates a whole new cycle of energy starting up. And it's going to be a lot of Aries energy right now feeling like this horse energy is going to be part of that. Okay, so speaking of Libra the full moon in this month will be in Libra on April 6. It's going to be a really good time to let go of any negative Libra qualities that we might be holding right these may include people pleasing or victim mentality passive aggression avoiding healthy conflict in decision any of that stuff, getting rid of these will really help you to use that energy areas energy in positive ways. And speaking of the eclipse, I will be holding a special gathering of my free community for star seeds, and that will be right around that will be right around that eclipse so watch for that. Okay, so with all this areas energy and all this horse energy this might be a really intense month at least until the 20th when tourist season begins. The end of the month may feel more grounded and relaxed. So, towards the end of the month, that maybe, you know, when we get more into that tourist stuff, you may, there may be an opportunity here to take whatever new beginnings this areas energy has stirred up, and start to nurture them in a more don't earth way. In the meantime, let's take a look at what it looks like to be writing these areas energies in a positive direction. First, okay, so the power is here now to get things done it's horse energy can really easily carry you over obstacles. If you can write it. Okay, this energy really aligns with new beginnings with ambition and with victory. So, this is a month where you may be easily find yourself able to overcome blocks and barriers that have stymied you in the past. You may find yourself breaking free and one or more ways to very positive effect in your career and your relationships your health your spirituality pretty much any area where you're looking to expand and develop these energies if you're writing them in a positive way can really help with that. So, for some it may be about starting a new business or a new relationship that's aligned with your sole purpose, or it could be something that really helps to accelerate your existing career or relationship in positive ways. Or it could look like ending a relationship or a job or career or anything else that doesn't serve you anymore. But if that's the case, really keep in mind that the energies this month are really about new beginnings. So if you're experiencing any kind of endings, most likely that's just going to be clearing the way for something better right new and powerful to come in or start to grow in a big way. Also, the energies this month if they're coming in for you if you're using them in a positive way, it could really help to open your third eye and receive lots of downloads or dreams that could help you so really pay attention to your dreams this month. Okay, and on the love front. Oh my gosh, you know if you're looking for new relationships. This is an amazing month and just hold your heart open for that, especially with all this horse energy right remember that's that's a curl energy there. Okay, so writing these directions in energies in a negative direction, what could that look like. Okay. Could cause some to question their sanity. It could also create a really ungrounding effect, it could be difficult to separate fantasy from reality in April 2023. So just a caution if you're dreaming a lot or having a lot of visions, be careful not to lose yourself in the dream world. Ask yourself, what are your dreams telling you about this side of the veil. Okay, how can you apply that wisdom that the dreams and the visions bring in practical ways. Okay. So don't be afraid to seek guidance from somebody somebody grounded who can help you interpret what you're experiencing an outside perspective can be enormously helpful. If you're drawn to work with me remember I'm offering 10% off of sessions this month and 20% of the profits from from sessions are going to go to help the horses. Okay, so key is to using this energy in a positive way how do we use you know use these energies positively. One number one is grounding. Okay, are you operating in reality or fantasy are you in touch with your body and taking care of it. Really be honest with yourself and take care of the practical things. Right. Grounding is so important. Number two is focus. What's really important, you know, ask yourself this, and that's part of grounding to find out what's really important what's just unimportant stuff or illusion trying to distract you keep focused back to what's really important. Okay, what's going to help you move forward. And number three is discipline right watch your impulses take action based on principles and grounded in reality. You might come to draw, but once you do make a decision, step with it and follow through with focused powerful consistent action. That's what's really going to help you use these energies and really positive way. Those who are grounded focused in discipline will find that they may have enormous capacity to do things this month. Okay. Your calm and balanced mind can direct those wild energies with relative ease. You may not have to actually do much at all. In order to have serious impact remember the equestrian seated on the horse a really good writer. It looks like they're doing nothing right. They're trying little micro movements and gentle yet firm direction balanced and quiet like an expert horseman will really help you to use these energies and channel them in positive ways. Okay, you can intend use your intention to align and sync with forces of resolution for the highest good of humanity mother earth and all cosmic consciousness. Okay, these are incredibly powerful energies that when you align with that cosmic consciousness will really propel you forward. You can also ask for a gentle unfolding of the timelines, ask for grace and for the progress through this portal to be as gentle as possible. Okay, and then finally, the Akashic message for this month I really tuned in created sacred space and asked my Akashic guidance my Akashic guidance to provide a message to support us in this month of April 2023. That is what they gave me find the still point. Take the time every day to center in your heart. Ask your heart to show you the way. Your heart will not come to its full power without invitation. Ask yourself before the power of the heart to ask it to lead. Incure yourself firmly to earth, connect your heart with the heart of earth. When dealing with others, ask for the courage to be honest and compassionate with both them and yourself. When you feel powerful emotions come to stillness, ask your heart to show you which come from love and which come from fear greed, anxiety, or envy that allow your heart to direct your action. Okay, so thank you for watching.

We'll go to support the United Pegasus Foundation and help the horses there and be on that stay in your heart. Stay focused, grounded, disciplined and remember you were born to be free.
