Between Seasons, Under the Stars: A Cosmic Classroom

ree


Welcome In ✨


Hi friends — whether this is your very first time here or you stop by often, I’m so glad you made your way here. 💫


I’m Laura, intuitive astrologer and psychic medium, and every weekday I take the movements of the sky and translate them into guidance you can actually feel and use in your daily life.


Think of it like checking the weather — but instead of planning for rain or sun, you’re tuning in to the atmosphere of your life.


Picture yourself in a fall-decorated classroom — candles glowing, pumpkins on the desk, warm blankets tucked on the chairs, and the chalkboard already filled with notes. 🍂


Today’s astrology feels just like that: a mix of light and challenge, where each lesson is designed to help us slow down, reflect, and grow in the simplest ways.

🪐Astrology in Plain English



🌞 Sun Opposite Saturn


The Sun in Virgo highlights progress and the desire to get things “just right.” But Saturn in Pisces applies pressure, creating delays or feelings of heaviness. This isn’t a stop sign — it’s the universe asking you to slow down and strengthen your foundation.


Think of it as a teacher handing back practice papers before the big exam. The pressure is here so you’ll review your notes, not so you’ll fail the test.




🌙 Moon Meets Venus in Virgo


Our emotional world (Moon) meets with what we value (Venus), drawing us to the beauty of small comforts and care. A cozy blanket, a kind word, or even lighting a candle can feel extra soothing. But the Moon’s clash with Uranus may stir sudden changes in mood or relationships.


If your feelings shift suddenly, don’t fight it. It’s like the classroom windows opening for fresh air — a quick gust that clears out what no longer belongs.




☿ Mercury Brings Both Insight and Fog


Mercury in Libra sparks deep insights and important conversations, especially with Pluto and Uranus offering breakthrough energy. At the same time, Neptune opposite Mercury clouds things over, creating both clarity and confusion in the same breath.


Some lessons just need more time before the answers appear. Tonight is best for journaling, brainstorming, or capturing ideas — not rushing into commitments.




Venus’s Fresh Start


Venus entering Virgo resets how we approach love, money, and self-worth. Here, value is found in details: a partner’s thoughtfulness, a simple budget tweak, or reorganizing your space.


Because Uranus adds surprise, expect twists in relationships or finances — the kind that shake you out of routine but guide you closer to what truly matters. Think of it like a substitute teacher who changes the plan — at first uncomfortable, but sometimes exactly the lesson you needed.




Mars on the Midheaven


Mars sits at the top of today’s chart, lighting up ambition and visibility. You may feel more driven to take action or be noticed for your work. But with Mars opposing Chiron, pushing too hard can stir old wounds about not being “enough.”


Remember: steady steps matter more than proving yourself overnight. This is the kind of lesson where extra credit doesn’t come from speed — it comes from consistency.




🌘 Waning Crescent Moon


This lunar phase is a gentle pause before the New Moon. It’s the perfect time for release, reflection, and clearing.


Think of it like tidying the classroom at the end of the day. Sweeping the floor, putting away books, wiping the chalkboard. These small acts of clearing create space for tomorrow’s fresh lesson.

🌌 What’s Rising to the Surface for You


All of this energy is shaping how we think, feel, and respond today — but it lands a little differently for each sign.


Read for your Sun (identity), Moon (emotions), and Rising (your real-life path) for the clearest picture.



Aries


What’s rising: You may feel pulled between moving forward and needing to pause. Your fire wants quick action, but today’s sky slows things down, stirring restlessness.


✨ Tip: Choose one small task you can direct your energy toward — organizing a drawer, finishing a project, or clearing space. When your drive has a clear outlet, frustration eases.




Taurus


What’s rising: The Virgo Moon makes you long for routine and comfort, but Uranus shakes things up in love or finances. This can feel unsettling, like being pushed out of your cozy seat.


✨ Tip: Anchor yourself in something tangible. Cook a warm meal, curl up in your blanket, or spend 10 minutes journaling. Rituals ground you so change feels less chaotic.




Gemini


What’s rising: Conversations feel charged. Insights pop in, but confusion follows close behind. You may want to speak up yet fear over-sharing.


✨ Tip: Let your thoughts flow without editing — journal, voice-note, or talk it through with someone safe. Releasing the swirl clears space for clarity.




Cancer


What’s rising: Jupiter brings growth and hope, but Saturn piles on responsibility. It may feel like your heart is stretched between comfort and obligation.


✨ Tip: Nurture your space tonight. Dim the lights, make something warm, wrap up in blankets. When your environment feels safe, the weight on your shoulders feels lighter.




Leo


What’s rising: Mars puts you center stage, boosting confidence but also stirring old insecurities about not being enough. You may crave applause yet feel critical of yourself.


✨ Tip: Write down three things you did today that mattered — big or small. Celebrate yourself as if you were your own favorite teacher.




Virgo


What’s rising: With the Moon and Venus in your sign, emotions and values align. You may want closeness, but your inner critic can grow louder too.


✨ Tip: Pause tonight to list three qualities you truly appreciate about yourself. A touch of self-kindness will quiet the critic’s voice.




Libra


What’s rising: Mercury and Mars in your sign amplify your voice and drive, but Neptune and Saturn cloud confidence. You may second-guess yourself easily.


✨ Tip: Simplify. Choose one decision you’ve been putting off — even something small — and complete it. Closing that loop will bring relief.




Scorpio


What’s rising: The energy pulls you toward community, but your instinct for privacy may resist. Balance is needed between solitude and connection.


✨ Tip: Reach out to one trusted friend. Even a short check-in can remind you that connection doesn’t always have to be heavy to be meaningful.




Sagittarius


What’s rising: You may feel torn between chasing freedom and meeting responsibilities. Mars fuels your goals, but Saturn slows you to a steady pace.


✨ Tip: Write down your long-term dream and one tiny, doable step you can take this week toward it. Small steps build momentum.




Capricorn


What’s rising: With the Ascendant in your sign, you may feel pressure to hold everything together. Expectations — from yourself and others — may feel heavier.


✨ Tip: Instead of adding more to your plate, release one thing tonight. Simplifying will free more energy than hustling ever could.




Aquarius


What’s rising: Pluto in your sign highlights transformation, stirring both excitement and overwhelm. Change feels close, even if you can’t see it clearly.


✨ Tip: Tell yourself: “It’s okay not to have all the answers yet.” Breathe deeply and let yourself be in process.




Pisces


What’s rising: With Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node in your sign, the weight is real. The Sun opposite Saturn may highlight tension in relationships or commitments.


✨ Tip: Try a simple release ritual. Write down one worry, then imagine placing it in a bowl of water and watching it dissolve.

✨ Spirit’s Message: Healing the Inner Child


And while today’s astrology shows us where pressure and growth collide, Spirit is guiding us deeper — to the tender place where many of our patterns begin: the inner child.


For me, I didn’t fully understand what the “inner child wound” was until I began noticing patterns in my own life. Certain anxieties kept surfacing, and I realized they weren’t really about the present at all — they stemmed from old wounds I hadn’t faced. It wasn’t until my 30s, after sitting with myself and Spirit, that these patterns revealed themselves.


Here’s the truth: these wounds often don’t become noticeable until you’re ready to work on them. Sometimes you sit with yourself for clarity, expecting direction or self-development breakthroughs — and instead, you open a messy drawer of old pain. It doesn’t feel neat. It can feel like a can of worms. But as uncomfortable as it is, this is how healing begins.

🌱 How Inner Child Wounds Show Up



Like notes left on the chalkboard, here are the ways these wounds echo in adulthood:



Abandonment → fear of being left, panic when people pull away, clinging, hating to be alone.


Guilt & shame → apologizing constantly, guilt for resting or saying no, believing your needs are a burden.

Neglect → low self-worth, avoiding vulnerability, feeling invisible, anger when needs aren’t met.


Trust → expecting betrayal, struggling to believe people will show up, pushing away closeness, craving reassurance.



Other common signs: people-pleasing, overreacting to small triggers, saying yes when you want to say no, distracting yourself from feelings, or repeating old relationship patterns.


If this feels familiar, Spirit reminds you: you’re not broken, you’re seen.

🍂 What To Do Once You Notice



As an adult, you now have the power to re-parent yourself. Healing doesn’t mean erasing the past — it means showing up for yourself now in ways you always deserved.


✨ Begin with:



Release blame — their wounds weren’t proof of your worth.


Create small rituals — light a candle, cook, journal, rest. These whisper: “You are safe now.”

Check in — ask, “What would little me need right now?” and give it.

Affirmations — gentle words rewire old beliefs.

Play — laughter and creativity are medicine too.

🪞 Getting Support Is Strength



You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy, self-help books, journaling, connecting with Spirit, and techniques like meditation, visualization, or breathwork can all support your journey.


Healing can take years, and sometimes the wounds never feel “fully finished.” That’s okay. Healing is not about perfection — it’s about presence. Every step matters.


💫 Spirit whispers: Asking for help is not weakness. It’s courage.




📝 Journal Prompts


1. Which wound (abandonment, guilt, neglect, or trust) feels most alive in me right now?


2. When do I most hear my inner child’s voice, and what are they asking for?


3. What is one simple act of care I can give myself tonight that I needed back then?




🌿 Affirmation


“I am no longer powerless. I can give myself the love, safety, and care I always deserved. My healing is a process, and I honor every step of the journey.”




✨ Spirit’s closing reminder: Healing is not a race. Some days will feel heavy, others light. But every time you choose compassion over criticism, boundaries over fear, and joy over numbness, you’re teaching your inner child: “You’re safe with me now.”


Like a fall classroom lit with warm lamps and lined with books, your healing is a place you can always return to — steady, gentle, and waiting for you. 🍂

🔭What’s On Deck This Weekend


This weekend brings powerful shifts with both an eclipse and Saturn in focus.



Sunday’s Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo → Endings, beginnings, and sudden clarity. Themes: health, routines, service, perfectionism, and self-talk. Notice where old habits no longer fit.



Saturn in Opposition → Old fears or responsibilities may feel heavy, but clarity arrives too. Hidden blocks become visible.



Eclipse Season → A larger cycle urging us to release what’s outdated and build new foundations.




🍁 How to Work with the Energy



• Reflect + journal: treat it as a reset.


• Watch for “aha” moments that can’t be ignored.


• Release perfection; focus on steady growth.


• Revisit routines to align with the life you want.


• Prioritize rest, comfort, and gentle self-care.
