Energy Update for April 19th - 25th | PROTECTION, HOLD SPACE
Hello my friends and welcome back to this week’s self reflection and energy update.
As a Spiritual Mentor, Psychic and Intuitive Guide I have committed myself to a journey of personal development and spiritual growth. In order for me to show up, guide and support my clients I need to be devoted to learning, healing and growing on my own journey as well. With every life lesson I learn, I can then turn it around and guide my clients through their own life lessons. When I am stuck in the middle of the quicksand of a really difficult lesson or challenge, I often question why I dedicated myself to this journey. Then things turn around and start feeling uplifting again and I quickly remember there are blessings and goodness to receive because of the hard work I put in, it’s exactly why I am still on this journey.
Last week I experienced multiple breakthrough moments and I really leaned into the energy of slow down and reflect. So, let’s dive into my self reflection before we get to the energy update. I love sharing my self reflection from the previous week in hopes that you can take something away from these life lessons and experiences.
SELF REFLECTION
I was speaking to one of my best friends last week and she said “you have the best attitude about growing and improving!” I think most often people only see what you carry externally and it can be extremely difficult to understand what someone experiences internally. I was quick to say thank you, and…
“It’s not always easy. Sometimes I want to say screw this lol. But I know there is so much I desire for my life and if I’m not willing to learn and grow then I may never achieve what I desire!”
And that is the point! That exact reason is WHY I stay centered on the path of improving and growing.
Over the past 4 months I have been learning more and more about Human Design, which is another tool to use in our spiritual growth, similar to astrology. Human Design can be complex and overwhelming with the amount of information it shares, and so if you are interested in learning more I suggest finding a coach or mentor who can lead you through the teachings (I suggest my coach Michelle Smith).
The basis of Human Design is that you, as an individual, were designed a certain way which is unique to you. If you’ve been following my journey for a while now you know how much I am all about the ENERGY we carry and how we are influenced by the energies around us. Human Design is a great tool to better understand your energy.
Being a Generator (one of the 5 types) it’s important for me to do things that LIGHT ME UP so I can create more energy for myself and for others! That’s right, I can share my energy with others :)
However, I’ve noticed in reflection that I too, as a generator, can get caught up in the pressure of do-do-do, work-work-work. It’s so funny because I have always talked about how we need to find activities and processes that we enjoy doing, rather than waiting for the end result. Yet, as a human I forget my own life lessons sometimes.
This past week I have been working hard at reflecting internally and asking myself a lot of deep questions like “who am I? Why am I here? And what am I here to do?” These questions sparked 2 breakthroughs that allowed me to get really clear on what lights me up and how I can include that in my daily life on the path of my soul’s purpose.
So, my main takeaway from this past week’s self reflection is this…
Life is a journey, and you are here to support yourself each step of the way as you learn, grow and improve on your path.
Judgment, blame, guilt and shame has no place and will only hold you back.
Reflecting internally is ALWAYS the key to uncovering the answers you’ve been looking for, without even being aware of the questions.
I encourage you to take some time with those 3 questions and see where you are lead.
Who am I?
Why am I here?
What am I here to do?
As you may know, with self reflection and looking at the past there always comes a moment where we need to look ahead and see what is to come. Let’s jump into the Energy Update for this week!

ENERGY UPDATE
The Energy Update consists of the current moon phase as we flow through this week and how its energy is influencing us, and intuitive & channeled messages I receive in regards to “what the collective needs to know about this next week” (Mon. Apr. 19th - Sun. Apr. 25th 2021).
On Tuesday the 20th the Moon Cycle will reach First Quarter Moon which signifies that it is time to TAKE ACTION. This can be really exciting if you have a project you are working on or an idea has been filtering through your mind. I know I certainly have projects that I am ready to take action on!
Now, the important part to know about the First Quarter Moon’s message is that obstacles may arise after you take action. Usually when we approach obstacles we can become deflated or frustrated. Sometimes we take it as a sign that maybe I am not supposed to go in this direction. However, in this case you are meant to push forward. The First Quarter Moon says…
When you face obstacles, do not waiver, it’s a time for pushing forward!
If you enjoy connecting to the Moon Cycle and the energy it shares with us then I highly suggest you check out the 2021 Guidebook. It’s a journaling guidebook that teaches you about the Moon, each phase and how its energy influences you. There is so much more goodness in this guidebook, including a calendar of the Moon Phases. You can check it out here if you are interested.
Now that we know what the moon is teaching us this week, let’s dive into the Intuitive Guidance I am receiving, as a psychic, around this week’s energy.
ARROW
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PROTECTIVE ENERGY
(From Kyle Gray’s oracle deck)
This message is closely connected to that of the First Quarter Moon when we here, when you face obstacles, do not waiver. The arrow is reminding you of your own power and how it’s important to stand your ground, protect yourself and your needs, as you are working towards your dreams and desires.
As an empath, sensitive soul, and intuitive being you are easily affected by the energies around you. Whether it be a specific situation, a place, or certain people in your life, you are needing to protect your energy this next week. Something will happen that will try and pull you into drama, gossip, and frustration based off of other people’s emotions. You do not need to carry this energy.

DRUID
HOLD THE SPACE
(From Kyle Gray’s oracle deck)
Druid is reminding you to stay connected to the questions I asked you earlier in the self-reflection section. Holding space is about being aware and choosing to not judge, change, or influence the situation. It is about knowing that there is more than this moment, and yet allowing yourself to be in this moment, supported, safe and protected.
This message is asking you, how can you come back to a state of trust, especially if you are anxious about where to go or what to do. Now is not a time to make massive and drastic changes. Now is a time to slow down and be intentional with your choices. Kyle Gray explains this message as “think of a tree - it has strong roots, yet continues to grow and bear fruit. Your life will be a reflection of this.”
This week you are being reminded to protect yourself, your energy and your dreams. Take action in a direction that feels good on something you’ve been working on for awhile now. Even as obstacles arise you can hold the space for yourself, remembering that your life will bear blessings, especially when you stay connected to yourself and your truest desires.
Don’t let one wind storm blow you off course. Know who you are, why you are here and what you are here to do right now in this space.
Until next time, sending you love & light on your journey,
Sydney Smith
