Hi sweet souls 💛
Whether you’re checking in like you always do or finding this space for the very first time—welcome.
You’ve landed in the right place if you’re craving clarity, emotional truth, and a moment to feel understood.
I’m Laura—psychic medium, intuitive astrologer, and cosmic translator behind Northern Light Lotus.
Every weekday, I break down what the stars are stirring—so you can reconnect to your inner wisdom, feel grounded in your emotions, and move through life with just a little more magic (and a lot less pressure).
Today’s sky? 🔥 Bold. Deep. Transformational.
Let’s get into what’s really unfolding—because today’s energy goes far deeper than just Leo season glow.
✨ Today’s Vibe at a Glance
🔥 Triple Leo Lineup:
The Sun, Moon, and Mercury are all in Leo, turning up the volume on your self-expression, creativity, and emotional visibility. But it’s not just sparkle—it’s soul. You’re being asked to step up, speak up, and stop dimming your light just to make others comfortable.
♌ Mercury is Retrograde, and the Moon is right next to it—so even if you’ve got something to say, your delivery might feel fuzzy, or misunderstood. That doesn’t mean your message is wrong. Just… choose your words with care. Let your energy speak louder than your ego.
⚠️ BIG TRANSIT: Sun Opposes Pluto
This is a once-a-year moment—and it hits like a truth serum.
🌑 The Sun in Leo wants to shine.
🔍 Pluto in Aquarius digs into what you’ve been avoiding.
Together, they pull hidden power struggles and emotional shadows to the surface. You might feel like someone’s pushing your buttons—but Spirit’s asking:
“Whose power are you giving away?”
Take it back gently, not forcefully. This is a liberation, not a war.
💥 Two T-Squares = Pressure Cookers for Change
1. Mars (Virgo) vs. Venus (Gemini) + North Node (Pisces)
→ Love tension. Push-pull in partnerships or creative blocks. Take a breath before reacting. Sometimes passion and purpose just need a minute to realign.
2. Sun (Leo) vs. Chiron (Aries) + Pluto (Aquarius)
→ Deep healing is rising. Wounds from childhood, rejection, or “never enough” energy may try to run the show. Don’t fight it. Let the fire cleanse what you’ve outgrown.
🌈 The Cosmic Safety Net: A Cradle Pattern
Despite the intensity, there’s a rare and supportive Cradle in the chart—offering emotional balance and spiritual support if you slow down and tune in.
✨ This includes Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Pluto—aka: your soul team whispering,
“There’s a softer way to rise.”
Watch for synchronicities, moments of inner knowing, or gentle course corrections. This isn’t chaos—it’s cosmic alignment disguised as discomfort.
🌙 Moon on the Midheaven = Vulnerability in the Spotlight
Your feelings may be more visible than you planned.
You might cry in the middle of a conversation, post something raw, or get called out unexpectedly. Don’t panic.
Your realness is your resonance. People feel you more when you’re not trying to be perfect.
⸻
🔎 Quick Hits You’ll Want to Know:
• Venus square Mars → Sexy tension or clash of values. Express, don’t explode.
• Mars opposes North Node → Push less, flow more.
• Sun trine Saturn & Neptune → Long-term dreams = yes… but only if they’re rooted in truth.
• Jupiter trine Ascendant → Kindness goes a long way. You’re being watched—in the best way.
🔥 Today’s Energy Is…
• Fire dominant = Action, courage, visibility
• Fixed modality dominant = Stubbornness or stability—your choice
• Leo-packed = Express, impress, and stop suppressing
• Right Hemisphere loaded = It’s not just what you feel—it’s what you show the world
This is a crack-open-to-glow kind of day.
Your soul is rising. Your story is shifting. And Spirit wants you to remember:
🌟 You don’t have to pretend you’re okay to become okay.
🌟 You don’t have to fix it all to move forward.
🌟 You’re allowed to outgrow the version of you that kept it quiet to stay safe.
✨ While today’s astrology is turning up the heat for everyone, the way it lands in your life depends on your unique energy.
That’s where your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs come in.
Each one reveals a different layer of what’s coming up for you:
• Your Sun = who you are at your core
• Your Moon = what you’re feeling emotionally
• Your Rising = how this is showing up in your outer world
Scroll below to see what’s rising to the surface for your signs—and don’t skip the Spirit message at the end. It’s exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
🌟 What’s Rising to the Surface for You?
Here’s your personal check-in.
Read your Sun, Moon & Rising for a full-circle message that meets you where you are.
⸻
♈ Aries
The fire inside you is loud today—but that doesn’t mean you have to fight to be heard. A deep healing theme is surfacing around how you were taught to express anger or passion. You’re allowed to channel intensity into creativity instead of conflict.
Tip: Light a candle tonight and write down what you want to burn away—especially beliefs about being “too much.”
⸻
♉ Taurus
You’re not lazy—you’re recalibrating. The cosmos are nudging you to stop carrying emotional weight that doesn’t belong to you. Home, family, and self-worth wounds may be rising, but you’re safe to feel it all and still protect your peace.
Tip: Do something cozy for yourself tonight—soft lighting, comfy clothes, or a favorite snack. Let ease lead.
⸻
♊ Gemini
Your voice is a superpower—but only when it’s coming from your truth. Mercury’s retrograde may be messing with your words, but your energy speaks louder anyway. Real conversations (even hard ones) want to happen. Trust your timing.
Tip: Pause before hitting send. Say it out loud to yourself first and ask, “Does this reflect how I really feel?”
⸻
♋ Cancer
Money, values, and your relationship with security are all getting a glow-up. Something you’ve been quietly working on is ready to shine, but imposter syndrome might try to steal the mic. Don’t downplay your value—own your evolution.
Tip: Write down 3 things you’ve done in the past month that your past self would be proud of.
⸻
♌ Leo
You’re center stage, and the lights are hot—but today isn’t about performance. It’s about power. Old wounds around identity, confidence, or being “too big” might try to shrink you. But your growth is too real to ignore. Let yourself be seen, flaws and all.
Tip: Stand in front of the mirror and say something kind to yourself. Yes, out loud. Yes, like you mean it.
⸻
♍ Virgo
You may feel extra sensitive, extra psychic, or just extra tired today. That’s not weakness—it’s awareness. Mars is in your sign but in a T-square, which could trigger stress or anxiety. Rest doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. It means you’re aligning.
Tip: Take a tech break tonight. Even 20 minutes in silence can reset your nervous system.
⸻
♎ Libra
You’re usually the peacemaker—but today, the universe is asking you to disrupt something. A friendship, social role, or group dynamic may no longer reflect who you are. It’s okay to outgrow people. Let your heart lead, not your people-pleasing.
Tip: Journal about who brings out your boldest, brightest self—and who dims it.
⸻
♏ Scorpio
Your emotions might feel extra visible today. If you’ve been keeping something inside for too long, it’s probably rising now. But this isn’t weakness—it’s transparency. The people meant to walk with you won’t flinch when you drop the armor.
Tip: Ask yourself, “What do I want to be known for—and what do I want to release being responsible for?”
⸻
♐ Sagittarius
Old beliefs about success, love, or purpose are up for revision. This doesn’t mean you were wrong—just that you’ve outgrown the story. A new vision is forming, but first, something within has to be freed. Travel, study, or soul-searching might be calling.
Tip: Step outside and look up at the sky. Ask Spirit for a sign—and stay open to how it comes.
⸻
♑ Capricorn
You’ve been strong for so long—but today invites you to be soft. Power doesn’t always mean pushing. Sometimes it’s found in surrender, especially when it comes to emotional intimacy or healing something deep. Let someone show up for you.
Tip: Say yes to support. Whether it’s a hug, a heart-to-heart, or just someone listening—it’s okay to receive.
⸻
♒ Aquarius
That relationship dynamic you’ve been analyzing? It’s not in your head. Pluto in your sign is asking you to stop sugarcoating red flags—or underestimating your worth. Whether it’s romantic, platonic, or business… realignment is on the table.
Tip: If it feels off, it probably is. Pull back your energy just enough to hear yourself clearly.
⸻
♓ Pisces
You’re dreaming of a better flow—less chaos, more care. But here’s the thing: the life you want is built through the habits you create now. Spirit is showing you what’s not working—not to shame you, but to redirect you. The shift starts small.
Tip: Clean one small space tonight. It might shift something emotionally too.

A Spirit Message For You:
✨ After checking in with your Sun, Moon, and Rising, Spirit invites us to go one layer deeper—not into more doing, but into deeper seeing.
Let’s step beyond the astrology and into what’s rising from within: the emotional patterns and protective roles quietly shaping your story.
Today’s Lenormand cards:
🌙 The Moon + 🐍 The Snake
Together, these cards hold up a mirror to the shadow self—not to call out what’s wrong, but to call in what’s finally ready to be released.
🌙 The Moon | Recognition, Intuition, Emotion
In Lenormand, the Moon represents your inner world—your emotional cycles, creative energy, intuitive gifts, and your relationship to visibility and validation. It’s the part of you that longs to be seen and protected.
But it also gently asks:
“Am I being honest about how I feel—or am I curating my emotions to be more acceptable?”
This card doesn’t judge. It just reflects. What’s rising for you right now may not be logical—but it’s true. Let it speak.
🐍 The Snake | Shadow, Seduction, Self-Protection
The Snake often gets a bad rep, but in Lenormand, it’s about survival—especially the subtle ways we abandon ourselves to stay safe.
This card shows up when:
• You smile while suppressing anger
• You shrink your needs to avoid rejection
• You shape-shift into who they want, instead of who you are
It’s the part of you that learned how to charm, contort, or disappear to maintain peace. But now… that skin is too tight.
The Snake doesn’t accuse—it invites you to shed.
🔮 Spirit’s Message:
You’ve outgrown an old emotional performance.
The Moon is showing you what you feel.
The Snake is showing you why you’ve been hiding it.
And neither is here to shame you.
Instead, Spirit is saying:
✨ It’s safe to be honest now.
✨ It’s safe to feel what you feel without apologizing.
✨ You no longer have to twist yourself to keep love, peace, or control.
This isn’t restriction—it’s realignment.
You’re not a project. You’re a masterpiece in motion.
🛠️ Healing Invitations from Spirit:
1. Shadow Work Prompt
Ask yourself:
“Where am I still shape-shifting to be loved, included, or safe?”
Then journal:
“What would my life look like if I gave myself full permission to stop?”
2. Moon Mirror Ritual
Stand in front of a mirror tonight—no roles, no filter.
Look into your own eyes and say:
“I see you. I feel you. I’m not abandoning you again.”
Let whatever emotion arises be okay.
3. Snake Shedding Visualization
In meditation or stillness, imagine an old version of you—habits, masks, outdated beliefs—peeling away like an old skin.
Thank her.
She protected you.
Then feel into what freedom might look like without her.
“I am safe to evolve now.”
This is sacred inner work—and you’re ready for it.
🌙 The Moon shows your truth.
🐍 The Snake shows your power to change it.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
Let the emotions rise.
Let the old story fall away.
Let the real you stretch out into the light.
She’s wiser. Clearer. Whole.
🔁 Weekend Energy & Final Thoughts
After everything stirred today, the weekend offers space to breathe.
Saturday lights up connection and joy, thanks to a rare Venus–Jupiter conjunction in Gemini. You might feel pulled toward conversation, laughter, or revisiting something (or someone) that once felt good. Let it be easy.
Sunday, the Moon moves into Virgo, and the tone shifts. You might feel called to clean something, get organized, or just hit pause and catch your breath. It’s not a full stop—it’s a moment to reset.
✨ The invitation this weekend? Let yourself enjoy what feels good—and don’t feel bad for needing quiet, too.
If today’s post resonated and you want to dive deeper, get personalized support, or join a space where you can be seen and supported—I’d love to welcome you in.
