Friday horoscopes and more

💫 Hey there, and happy Friday!

If you’re new here—welcome! And if you’ve been with me for a while, I’m so glad you’re back. 🫶

I’m Laura—psychic medium, intuitive astrologer, and the heart behind Northern Light Lotus.

This space is a cozy corner of the internet where we blend astrology, intuition, and everyday realness to help you feel seen, supported, and synced with your soul.

Whether you’re here for insight, encouragement, or just a soft place to land—you belong here.

🌤 Now let’s talk about today’s energy:

There’s a noticeable “mind vs. mood” vibe in the air today.

The Sun is in Gemini, which usually brings mental energy, curiosity, and a desire to stay busy. But the Moon is in Capricorn, which leans more serious and focused—it wants structure, clarity, and peace.

That combo can feel like you’re trying to write a to-do list in your head while also wanting to throw your phone on the bed and hide under a blanket.

And honestly?

That’s exactly where I’m at today.

There are a million things I want to do… and just as many things I feel like I’m doing wrong or not enough of.

We’re heading into a stretch full of Father’s Day, graduations, birthdays, and shifting into summer mode without school, and I’m already trying to figure out how to balance it all.

Oh, and my dog?

She decided to strut right through poison ivy-infested grass.

So now she needs a bath. I need a shower. I haven’t gotten my workout in.

I’ve got plans tonight, and now I’m debating:

Do I just go for the exercise and clean up later… or skip it and feel guilty?

It’s these small daily choices that feel heavier when you’re running on low energy.

And it’s not just the calendar. The skies are mirroring this, too:

• Mercury is in Cancer now, so communication is softer, more emotional, and more reflective. You may be feeling more than you can explain.

• Mars is in Leo, giving us bursts of courage, motivation, and fire—but it’s clashing with unpredictable Uranus, so expect the unexpected. This can show up as mood swings, short fuses, or a sudden urge to change direction.

So if you’re feeling everything at once—excitement, irritation, tenderness, fatigue—there’s a reason.

You’re not “too much.” You’re just tuning in.

💛 Here’s how to work with today’s energy:

• Let go of the pressure to do it all. Seriously. What can wait?

• Take care of your body and nervous system first. You’ll feel clearer after.

• Be gentle with conversations. People (including you) are feeling more than they’re saying.

• Use small routines to feel anchored—a walk, a list, a playlist, anything familiar.

And when everything feels like too much?

🫁 Try this: Box Breathing (aka 4x4 breathing)

This is my go-to reset when I’m feeling overstimulated or scattered:

• Inhale for 4 seconds

• Hold for 4 seconds

• Exhale for 4 seconds

• Hold for 4 seconds

Repeat a few times. That’s it. You don’t need to change anything else.

Just breathe, and come back to yourself.

✨ If all you do today is pause, take care of your energy, and move one thing forward—that’s enough.

You’re doing your best in a season that’s asking a lot.

Be proud of that.

✨ What’s Rising to the Surface for You Today?

With so much Gemini energy in the sky, your thoughts might be bouncing from one thing to another.

But the Capricorn Moon is reminding you:

not everything can be solved by thinking alone. Some answers come from slowing down and grounding back into your body.

This is a powerful time to ask:

• What’s worth my energy?

• What do I actually want to commit to?

• And what’s just noise?

Let’s look at how today’s energy might land for your sign—and what could help you move through it with more ease and clarity:

⸻

♈️ Aries

You’re craving a fresh start but may feel unsure where to begin. Old habits could be clashing with the new version of you trying to emerge.

Try this: Get moving—physically. A walk, a dance break, even a few deep stretches will help clear your head and reconnect you with your fire.

⸻

♉️ Taurus

You’re craving calm, but everything feels like it’s shifting. With Venus in your sign, you’re sensitive to what feels good vs. what feels forced.

Try this: Say no to one thing today. Reclaim your peace, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.

⸻

♊️ Gemini

You’re lit up with ideas and possibilities—but don’t forget to rest your nervous system. You can’t hold all the tabs open forever.

Try this: Focus on just one thing today. Choose what feels most alive in your body—not just your brain.

⸻

♋️ Cancer

You’re feeling the emotional waves hard today—especially around relationships or home life. Give yourself permission to feel everything.

Try this: Take 10 minutes alone today. Not to do anything—just to be. Let your inner world breathe.

⸻

♌️ Leo

With Mars rising in your sign, your energy is bold, bright, and buzzing. But that also means emotions can run hot.

Try this: Let it out in a safe space—creativity, movement, laughter, even a voice memo rant. You’ll feel lighter after.

⸻

♍️ Virgo

Your focus is pulled in too many directions, and it’s zapping your energy. The Capricorn Moon says: simplify.

Try this: Choose one small task and complete it all the way through. Let that be enough today.

⸻

♎️ Libra

Something about your friendships, collaborations, or social energy feels off-balance. You might need to pull back and regroup.

Try this: Let someone know what you need—even if it’s just space or clarity. Don’t ghost, communicate.

⸻

♏️ Scorpio

You’re feeling something big behind the scenes—a shift in your role, your power, or your long-term vision.

Try this: Journal out what you’re afraid will happen if you change course. Then write what could go right instead.

⸻

♐️ Sagittarius

You’re feeling the pressure to expand, grow, or leap—but something’s holding you back.

Try this: Reframe resistance as a signal, not a stop sign. Where do you need more support before jumping?

⸻

♑️ Capricorn

You’re feeling the weight of it all today—expectations, goals, responsibilities. But you’re allowed to loosen your grip.

Try this: Delegate one thing. Or drop one thing, just for today. The world won’t fall apart if you rest.

⸻

♒️ Aquarius

There’s tension building around something you can’t quite name. Trust your instincts—they’re ahead of the curve.

Try this: Take time to unplug from group energy and tune into your own. You’re not behind—you’re receiving new instructions.

⸻

♓️ Pisces

You’re more in tune than usual right now—but that also means you’re absorbing a lot.

Try this: Visualize a soft boundary around your energy field today. Let yourself care without carrying.

⸻

✨ Take what resonates, leave the rest, and don’t forget—today is a great day to breathe, re-center, and reset.

Even a moment of stillness can bring clarity.

🔮 Spirit’s Message: Pay Attention to What’s Really Going On

Let’s be honest—most of us are reacting to things without even realizing it.

A weird tone, a short message, a sudden change in someone’s energy… and boom—we’re spiraling, doubting, or shrinking.

But here’s what Spirit wants you to remember today:

Most of the time, it’s not about you.

Everyone is moving through life with their own stress, wounds, and emotional weather.

That sharp comment? It might be frustration from something else entirely.

That distance? It could be someone trying to regulate their own nervous system—not rejecting you.

The truth is, we’re all responding from where we’re at, not always from a place of clarity.

🌿 Now think about the version of yourself you’ve outgrown.

The you who took everything personally.

The you who twisted yourself to fit into places that didn’t really see you.

The you who over-explained, over-apologized, or stayed quiet just to keep the peace.

That version helped you survive. But you’re not surviving anymore—you’re being called to live.

And real growth starts by asking:

• Where am I stuck in a loop that no longer serves me?

• Do the people, habits, and environments I’m around match who I want to become?

• Am I reacting from my past—or responding from who I am now?

When we can become aware of how we feel, how others show up, and what we’ve been repeating—we reclaim our power.

We stop playing small. We stop spiraling.

We start choosing with clarity.

⛵️ As Jim Rohn wisely said:

“It’s not the blowing of the wind that determines your destination, it’s the set of the sail.”

You can’t stop the wind—whether it’s change, challenge, someone else’s behavior, or an off day.

But you can choose how you move through it.

You can decide to respond with awareness, not reaction.

You can adjust your energy, your boundaries, and your choices—so you’re not being pulled in every direction.

That’s what alignment really means.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present enough to shift course when needed.

💛 So today, before reacting… pause.

Take a deep breath. Ask yourself:

Is this pulling me into an old version of me… or helping me step into the one I’m becoming?

Because you’re not stuck. You’re just being shown where real change is ready to happen.

And that’s a powerful place to be.

🌙 Take What You Need, Leave the Rest

This weekend brings a mix of steady energy and a little inner tension—like part of you wants to get things done and the other part wants to shake things up or toss the plan altogether.

Saturday is a great day to tidy up, get organized, or take care of something that’s been lingering. You’ll feel clearer when you do.

Sunday might feel a bit more emotional or unpredictable. You could feel restless or sensitive—so go easy on yourself. Try not to take other people’s moods personally. Everyone’s moving through their own stuff right now.

If anything feels off, pause. Move your body. Take a deep breath.

Not everything needs a reaction—some things just need space.
