Hello, beautiful soul — and if you’re new here, I’m so glad you found your way. ✨
I’m Laura — a psychic medium, intuitive astrologer, and the heart behind Northern Light Lotus.
This space is here to remind you of something important:
You’re not as lost, behind, or off-track as you sometimes think.
Even on the days that feel messy, uncertain, or heavy, you’re still moving forward — just by showing up for yourself.
Here, I share simple astrology updates, Spirit-led insights, and everyday reminders to help you feel a little more grounded, a little more yourself, and a lot more supported.
Whether you’ve been following astrology for years or you’re just starting to dip your toes in, you’re right at home here.
There’s no pressure to be anywhere other than where you are.
No “perfect path” you have to find.
Just real talk, real tools, and a little light to help you keep going.
I’ll meet you exactly where you are.
Let’s dive into what today’s skies are stirring up for us:
Today’s Cosmic Forecast: Ideas Bloom, But Tension Brews
Moon in Gemini (Waxing Crescent) conjunct Jupiter
Curiosity is high, energy is chatty, and your mind may feel like it’s running in twelve directions at once. This is beautiful energy for brainstorming, journaling, connecting with someone new, or sharing your truth. Gemini is ruled by Mercury — and with Mercury in Aries, you might feel bold enough to finally say the thing you’ve been holding back.
There’s a buzz in the air… but also a reminder to pause before reacting. With the Moon squaring Saturn and the North Node, some conversations may hit emotional triggers — especially if you feel like someone just doesn’t “get” you.
Sun in Taurus square Mars in Leo + square Pluto in Aquarius
This is a big energy mix. The Taurus Sun wants peace, but Mars in Leo says “do something,” and Pluto adds intensity. You might feel pulled between wanting to keep things calm and wanting to shake things up. If power struggles or frustration arise today, notice where it’s really coming from. You might be bumping up against something deeper — like fear of change or needing to feel in control.
Use this energy as fuel to stand your ground kindly, not aggressively. Choose your battles. The universe is asking you to show up for yourself, not bulldoze your way through.
Pisces-Aries Stellium (Venus, Saturn, Neptune, North Node) in the 7th House of Relationships
Relationships are in focus — especially the ones that feel spiritual, karmic, or emotionally complex. You may be reflecting on soul contracts, who you’re building with, and what real devotion means. With Venus conjunct Neptune, romance and dreams are high — but so is the chance of illusion.
This is a great time to ask:
Does this connection align with the future I’m building?
Am I loving the reality… or the fantasy?
Spirit’s Reminder Today:
You don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
You don’t have to have all the answers to move forward.
And you don’t have to be fearless to follow your heart.
Let today be about small, honest steps.
Let your curiosity guide you.
Let your emotions inform, not control you.
And if something feels off — slow down. You don’t have to rush clarity. It always arrives right on time.
What’s Rising to the Surface for You?
Here’s how today’s energy might be showing up for each zodiac sign — written with love, and meant to meet you right where you are.
⸻
Aries
You’re being called to speak your truth — but today’s energy reminds you to check your tone. Mercury, Venus, and Chiron are all in your sign, pushing you to say what’s real… but old wounds around being dismissed or misunderstood could rise up too. You don’t need to shout to be heard.
Tonight’s tip:
Try writing a letter to yourself from your future self. What would they thank you for right now?
⸻
Taurus
With the Sun in your sign squaring both Pluto and Mars, something about your identity or self-worth is being shaken up so a more empowered version of you can emerge. Let go of what no longer matches your growth.
Tonight’s tip:
Place your hand over your heart and ask: Where am I holding back out of fear of being “too much” or “not enough”?
⸻
Gemini
The Moon and Jupiter lighting up your sign could bring a rush of thoughts, emotions, or creative bursts. You’re not overthinking — you’re processing. But remember to rest your mind too.
Tonight’s tip:
Step away from the noise. Ten quiet minutes with yourself can work wonders.
⸻
Cancer
You may feel caught between holding space for others and needing space for yourself. With so much Pisces-Aries energy in your 7th/8th houses, themes of emotional merging and boundary-setting may be surfacing.
Tonight’s tip:
Ask Spirit for one clear sign that confirms you’re not alone in this season.
⸻
Leo
Mars in your sign wants bold action—but the current T-square with the Sun and Pluto is stirring deeper questions about power, purpose, and identity. Today’s reminder: real power doesn’t shout.
Tonight’s tip:
Do one small thing that makes you feel proud of who you’re becoming.
⸻
Virgo
With your Ascendant activated and the Moon lighting up your career zone, your presence is felt today. But remember, you don’t have to prove your worth through productivity.
Tonight’s tip:
Reflect on the version of success that actually feels good to you, not the one that looks good to others.
⸻
Libra
You’re being invited to look at your beliefs and expand beyond old patterns. With planets lighting up your 7th through 9th houses, relationships may be the mirror that shows you what’s ready to evolve.
Tonight’s tip:
Light a candle and ask: Where am I ready to release judgment—of others or myself?
⸻
Scorpio
Pluto is activated today, bringing power struggles or deep emotional insights to the surface. This is your invitation to lean into your own transformation without spiraling into fear or control.
Tonight’s tip:
Visualize a version of you who no longer feels the need to armor up. What changes?
⸻
Sagittarius
The Moon and Jupiter in your opposite sign are highlighting your one-on-one connections. Are your needs being met, or are you overextending? Clarity will come when you stop editing yourself.
Tonight’s tip:
Say one honest thing you’ve been holding in. Even if it’s just to your journal.
⸻
Capricorn
Your inner world is speaking through your body. With so many planets in your 6th and 7th houses, pay attention to physical cues — they’re emotional messages in disguise.
Tonight’s tip:
Try a grounding practice, like touching your bare feet to the floor and repeating: I am safe. I am supported. I am home in myself.
⸻
Aquarius
Pluto in your sign is being challenged today, but that’s not a bad thing. This friction is helping you detach from what’s not yours to carry and realign with what’s real.
Tonight’s tip:
Ask yourself: If I didn’t feel responsible for anyone else’s emotions, what would I choose right now?
⸻
Pisces
You’re hosting a powerful lineup of planets right now, and with the North Node and Saturn also in your sign, you’re being asked to take responsibility for your healing journey. This isn’t about pressure — it’s about purpose.
Tonight’s tip:
Create a “soul support list.” Write 3 things that help you feel like yourself again when the world feels too loud.
⸻
Before we wrap up, Spirit had one more message to share with you today.
It came through loud and clear when I pulled this card — and the image alone speaks volumes.
Let’s take a moment to sit with it together…
Spirit’s Message Today: Reconsider
Take a look at the picture on today’s card.
The fairy is sitting in a little cage, but the door is wide open. She’s not locked in. She could step out if she wanted to. The drop isn’t even that far — but she’s still sitting there, looking unsure.
This is the message for many of us right now.
You’re not as stuck as you think.
You might just be used to feeling stuck.
Sometimes we don’t move forward because we’ve been hurt before. Or because we’re afraid of what happens next. Or because we’re waiting for the perfect sign that it’s safe to change.
But Spirit is gently reminding you today:
the way forward is already open. You can take the next step — even if it’s small.
The “Reconsider” card is all about slowing down and thinking things through.
If something isn’t feeling right anymore, it’s okay to pause. You don’t have to push through just because you started something. You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to say, “Wait… maybe there’s a better way.”
Ask yourself:
• Is this really the path I want to stay on?
• Am I doing this out of love… or fear?
• What would I choose if I fully trusted myself?
You don’t need to rush.
You don’t need to have all the answers today.
But you do need to know this:
The door is open.
Your path is still yours.
And you are allowed to choose differently — any time you’re ready.
After sitting with today’s message, let’s ground it into something simple you can carry with you tonight —
Here is a small midweek tip, based on your elemental sign.
Let these reminders be your reset button:
Wednesday Elemental Tips
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
You might be feeling fired up or ready to make a bold move — but today’s cosmic tension is asking you to pause before you pounce.
Tip: Let the spark simmer. What feels urgent now might feel clearer with a little space.
Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Your steady energy is strong, but the Sun’s tension with Pluto and Mars could bring up pressure to keep holding everything together.
Tip: You’re allowed to shift directions. Reconsider where your energy is truly needed.
Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
With the Moon and Jupiter in Gemini, your mind is buzzing — full of ideas, thoughts, and deeper questions.
Tip: Write it down, talk it out, or go for a walk. Don’t hold it all in — just let it flow.
Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Emotional energy is high today, especially with that Pisces-Aries stellium stirring up spiritual and relationship themes.
Tip: Ask yourself: Is this mine, or theirs? Protect your peace by softening your emotional grip.
