Hey, it's Vanessa, and welcome to a new conversation on energy.
This one is going to be about a very timely event and day, April 20th.
So for those of you that aren't in the astrological world and knowing that what's
up for this day, I want to break it down in really simple terms,
(00:21):
because there's a lot of different takes and perspectives,
information out there about the energies of this day.
And I want to give you my perspective in an easily relatable way to work with
the energy and to understand a little bit more about this larger collective
astrology that is going on and impacting us.
(00:42):
You don't actually need to believe in astrology in order for it to actually influence your life.
It is what it is and it does what it does. And so the best way you can work
with these energies is by being aware of them and then choosing to direct your
energy in a very intentional kind of way.
So we'll get into the big event of April 20th in just a moment.
(01:07):
First, I would love to welcome you here. Really glad that you're tuning in,
whether you are new or returning.
I appreciate your presence. So thank you. Please do like, comment,
subscribe. subscribe, click to get notifications, share with your friends,
all that good social media stuff that gets us out to more of my people.
I really do appreciate that. So thank you.
(01:28):
And a couple quick announcements.
The first is the Energy Guide program is coming up very, very soon.
This is a live group experience where we dive into the higher purpose for your energy sensitivity,
Because we are in a new era and we are meant to be working with energy very
(01:51):
intentionally within our own individual system and out in the collective.
There's so much that we cover in here. I want to tell you all the things about
it, but you can simply go to my website, vasmith.com slash energy dash guide.
And you'll get all the details of it. But essentially, we're going to be looking
(02:12):
at the bigger picture from an energetic perspective, what's going on right now,
awakening, ascension, the empath.
All the different system shifts that are going on within our own individual
systems, like the high heart recalibration, all of that good stuff.
We're going to be looking at healing and vitality from an energetic perspective.
(02:32):
We're also looking looking at energy and daily life, this is really where it
can make a huge difference.
Because when you look at these big picture perspectives, you're like, oh, very interesting.
But how does that actually play out in my daily world?
And so we're spending a good amount in six different modules within each of
(02:53):
these sections I'm telling you about.
And then the last piece is calling on the fantastical.
So this is really bringing in that sense of synchronicity and,
And, you know, that magical feeling that we get with energy when we start working
with it more intentionally.
So if you feel like your intuition has been getting louder, it's for good reason.
(03:15):
Our systems really are changing and shifting, and we are more in tune and aware of energy.
Join the program and you will learn so much more and, you know,
connect with others that are on that same transformational journey.
So the smith.com slash energy dash guide.
And I probably have other announcements, but I'm going to leave it there.
(03:38):
You can see all that stuff on my website, which is listed on the video itself.
All right. So let's get into the topic of April 20th.
A big event is happening. So there are two planets, Jupiter and Uranus,
(03:58):
and every single planet has a different kind of energy to it,
right? Different kind of flavor that they bring to the party.
And they are what's called conjunct. That means they're very close together.
And when that happens, they kind of, you know, there's reverb,
there's energetic reverb.
They essentially play off of each other's energies and amplify the energy of each other.
(04:24):
And it can make for a very energetically firework-y kind of experience.
And there's other ways that that can manifest out in the world from a collective perspective as well.
But the goal, no matter what people say, myself included, about the energies
of the planet, And it all comes down to how are you going to work with that?
(04:48):
My God, it's just trying to drink my water.
How are you going to work with that, right? So we're going to talk a little
bit more about how you can do that in an empowered and out chemical kind of
way in just a moment. But I'm setting the scene here.
So these two planets are going to be conjunct on April 20th in the sign of Taurus.
(05:10):
We are now in this Taurus season. And so I'm going to share a little bit more
about the energies of this planet, the energies of Taurus season,
and then how you can work with that.
It's a big event because it doesn't happen very often. It's a big event because
of the nature of these, the energies of these two planets.
And it is in astrology circles known as, yeah, one of the biggest events of 2024.
(05:35):
So I know if you tune into any kind of astrology or energy overviews,
those of us that read the energy and that know about these different energetic
frameworks of viewing reality,
we can get a little excited about these moments because we feel the collective buildup.
(05:56):
And you might be feeling it too, but not necessarily have the framework to know
why you might be feeling more amped up and excited or things might be a little more intense for you.
Maybe some of you are still kind of reeling from eclipse season.
I put up a couple of eclipse videos as well as the post eclipse smackdown video,
(06:18):
which was fun for me to do.
Anyway, back to Jupiter and Uranus. Jupiter is known as a benefic planet,
meaning it has a lot of positive vibes to it.
It's got a good kind of feeling to it.
I like to explain astrology in ways that are really just relatable.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion. You may get big ideas, big visions.
(06:44):
You just have this sense of things are possible.
Things are, they're expanding out and I'm here for it is the vibe of Jupiter.
And so Uranus is the planet of, and Jupiter actually, let me add in this,
It's also known as the planet of luck and good luck and good fortune.
(07:09):
Sounds nice, right? Sounds nice, especially after I made this video share the
other day on prosperity.
So I'm feeling that spiritual richness and abundance that's moving through our
collective world right now.
I'm going to press pause. I'll be right back in just a moment. okay
(07:32):
so uranus is the planet
of unexpected change innovation yes
sudden sudden events that we didn't expect
and so when you put these two energies together right so we've got expansion
fortune luck feeling like things are possible maybe tuning into the bigger vision
(07:58):
that you might have seeded in your own heart, right?
So all of this sense of like, oh, I can breathe, right? It's such a nice feeling.
And then we have unexpected change in that direction, innovation in that direction.
I know that I've been feeling a buildup of those energies all week long.
(08:19):
And so it's really, it's a dance, right? Of going like, okay,
this is what I'm feeling.
What do I do with with this energy? How do I intentionally direct it?
So it's riding these waves of.
You know, this larger energy theme that's going on underneath the surface,
while at the same time being very intentional about where you are directing
(08:44):
your arrow, your energy arrow, because we are always projecting out our energy,
and we're often not conscious of exactly what it is that we're projecting out.
And so part of this time and the draw for me to really put this recording out
there is to use this energy to be very intentional, be very specific,
around these energy themes that I'm sharing with you.
(09:09):
So we've got Jupiter, we've got Uranus. Now let's talk about Taurus for a minute.
The energy of Taurus is in everybody's charts, right?
And so, well, let me not jump ahead of myself for a minute. Let's go back to
just the energy of Taurus.
It is material focused. It's about stability, groundedness, security.
(09:34):
Financial security, feeling a sense of health and well-being in your body, right?
So it's very body-oriented, sensual.
I believe Taurus is ruled by Venus.
And so there's a certain level of just deep connection and honoring and respect,
reverence, enjoyment of the body in a healthy way, right?
(09:57):
And so we've, in financial security, all of these pieces, right?
The material plane of reality, Taurus is about that.
We all have Taurus in our chart. And so one of the ways that you can find out
how the eclipse, or not the eclipse, I'm still on the eclipse,
how the conjunction, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction.
(10:20):
May be playing out for you by finding where Taurus is in your chart.
Now, I'm going to share a site with you. I really like it because it has very
relatable information.
I have no affiliation with it. I just like her layout.
It's Chani Nicholas, and you just, it's C-H-A-N-I, and then nicholas.com,
(10:43):
and then you can just go, I think it's click my chart or something like that,
and put in your birth information.
And then she explains all of these pieces.
So you can see where Taurus lands in your chart, like what house it's in.
That's going to tell you some of the themes. So you know about Taurus overall,
(11:04):
but then whatever house it's in is going to help illuminate like where it plays
out for you, where you have more of a Taurus energy in that particular particular area.
And again, she makes it so super simple to understand. I really like her astrology book.
I think it's called, I turn around because I have it behind me.
(11:28):
I'm in my bookshelf. I think it's called You Were Born for This, I think.
But it's a great book, super easy to understand. And I just really like her down to earth style.
And so that is one of the ways is find where Taurus is in your chart,
what house it is, and then think about whatever those house themes are,
(11:49):
what kind of expansion would you like to experience in that house?
What kind of good luck or fortune would you love to unexpectedly pop up for you?
What kind of new innovative ideas or possibilities would you really be open to?
(12:13):
So these are different questions that you can ask yourself to work with these
energies to, yeah, to really send your arrow out intentionally, your energy arrow.
What else do I want to say? Usually when there's a big astrological event of any kind,
whether it's an eclipse or a full moon or, you know, a conjunction functions
(12:36):
such as this one there tends to be a build-up period and then also that on the
day itself and also afterwards so you'll feel the energy a little more potent around this this time.
If for any reason you don't feel very expanded or expansive,
(12:58):
you don't feel like things are possible or you're feeling, you know,
just really overall very challenged by whatever is happening in your life,
I just always love to say wherever you at is so valid.
You don't need my validation and yet I just want to be, you know,
part of the mouthpiece for wholeness, right?
(13:21):
For just saying, sometimes we have experiences in our world that are so, so hard to go through.
And I think the acknowledgement of that, the holding grace and space for the
hard stuff that you go through is important.
Just as a human community member that's here to like, you know,
(13:46):
put into the field, the energetic field that like, that is acceptable too.
You do not have to be like, let me just manifest all the positive things because
it can feel very, very challenging if you're not in that space.
You know what I'm saying? So if for any reason it's a crap day for you or you're
(14:08):
feeling super challenged by whatever is going on in your life,
give yourself so much grace and love. Please, please.
Doesn't mean that you give up, become hopeless, think it's going to magically
just change without your effort.
Kind of the point of being here is for us to be in these physical vessels,
(14:33):
this cute little human avatar, and learn how to direct the energy.
Sorry, am I yelling?
I'm a little excited. To learn how to direct the energy.
Energy and and to realize that even
when we are in those dark spots even when we are
in those pits that we we still have our
power of perception and that we still have our hands as healers that can move
(14:58):
the energy off of us that does not belong to us right we carry a lot of times
we feel like you know sick just speaking from an energy sensitive perspective
we can feel very drained by energy,
other energies that aren't ours, right?
From our biological family, from who we're in relationship with,
(15:19):
from being a caretaker, from, you know, being in a job you don't love.
There's all sorts of factors, right?
But ultimately, you're the chooser and you get to choose your perspective.
You get to remember your hands are healers. Move the energy out of your space.
Use Use your body and go out to nature to clear yourself.
(15:45):
That's your job. That's your responsibility.
Send a prayer up and say, you know, I'm praying for grace.
Help me move this. Here's what I'm going to do to move the energy.
You don't just sit there and wait for it. Good luck. I mean,
maybe one day it'll work.
It's not worked for me. I've been like in enough dips to know that it's up to
(16:14):
us to change the energy and we need grace and support.
So it really is like a group effort here to change the circumstances.
It's like you're never, ever alone. Even when you feel like you are,
you are more than just human.
Even when you feel like you're not, you're surrounded by grace,
even when it doesn't seem like it.
(16:36):
So just create your energetic bridge of trust to that knowing because your soul will remember that.
Your soul will remember that even if your human struggles with that.
And say, please help me use the energies of this moment, of this big expansive moment,
(16:59):
to move me into a new space, a new perspective where I feel like things are possible again.
Help me to do that. You, like, prayers up.
And I'll, you know, hold that vision with you because I get it.
I've been in those pickles before. And the more that I did anything,
(17:22):
like literally anything to support myself in that moment,
especially by clearing my own energy with my hands, hands as healers,
lean my butt up against a tree, get like charged, you know, it's like the whole
tree trunk is in back of me and just lean up and just chill for a minute.
It, it will help. It will help. It will help. It will help.
(17:46):
It may not solve everything immediately, but we came here to experience the process.
And there you go. Sometimes things have to break down before they break through.
And I feel like a total new age goober for saying that, but it is the truth.
Okay. So that's, is there anything else I'm going to add to this share for you?
(18:08):
I really think that's it.
Be open to receiving.
Be open to these energies blessing you.
Be open to seeing things from a new perspective.
Be open to seeing how much power you actually have to change things.
(18:31):
Be open and let these energies support you. With that, I'm going to sign off.
Thanks so much for tuning in, wishing you well, and I'll be back again with
another conversation on the energies. Take care.
