✨ Welcome In ✨

Hi friends — whether you’re here for the very first time or you stop by often, I’m so glad you found your way here. 💫

👋 I’m Laura, intuitive astrologer and psychic medium, and each weekday I take the energy of the sky and translate it into guidance you can actually feel in your life.

My goal is always to help you feel supported, inspired, and connected to your path — especially when the cosmos bring extra layers of intensity, clarity, or change.

Today’s chart carries a mix of grounded focus, relationship lessons, and powerful opportunities to release what’s been weighing heavy.

Let’s break it down together 🫶

Today’s Astrology Breakdown

🌞 Sun & Mercury in Virgo — Clarity Rising

The Sun and Mercury travel close together in Virgo, highlighting themes of organization, communication, and discernment. This is practical magic — the kind that helps you simplify, speak clearly, and refine your path forward.

• With both making positive connections to Jupiter, there’s a sense of expansion through focus.

• But with the North Node opposing, you may feel torn between logic and trust.

✨ Spirit’s nudge: Don’t over-explain yourself. Simplicity has power.

🌙 Moon in Taurus — Emotional Steadiness

The Moon in Taurus brings an earthy, grounding current to the collective mood. It connects with ten planets today, so emotions may feel stretched in many directions — yet the Taurus Moon always craves comfort, security, and stability.

• Supportive aspects to Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter add wisdom and depth.

• A square to Venus may stir tension between what feels safe vs. what excites you.

✨ Spirit’s nudge: Anchor into what nourishes you, not just what looks good on the outside.

💫 Venus on the Midheaven — Love & Visibility

Venus shines in Leo at the Midheaven, making love, beauty, and creativity more public and visible. This is a day where heart-centered expression takes center stage.

• Venus connects sweetly with Mars and Chiron, opening the door for healing through connection.

• The Venus–Moon square may highlight emotional clashes around love and values.

✨ Spirit’s nudge: Let your heart be seen, but stay honest with your feelings.

🔥 Mars T-Square — The Point of Tension

Mars in Libra forms a T-Square with Jupiter in Cancer and Chiron in Aries. This is today’s main tension point, stirring themes of action, growth, and old wounds.

• Mars wants harmony, Jupiter wants expansion, and Chiron exposes where past hurts still live.

• Collectively, this can feel like being pulled between desire for peace, desire for more, and fear of being hurt again.

✨ Spirit’s nudge: Tension creates growth. Choose conscious action instead of reacting from old pain.

🌊 Retrograde Season — The Deeper Work

Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, the North Node, and Chiron are all retrograde. That’s a lot of inward motion, reminding us that much of the work right now happens within our own awareness.

• Saturn conjunct Neptune teaches us about building dreams while seeing through illusions.

• Pluto squaring the Ascendant pushes the collective to shed outdated identities.

✨ Spirit’s nudge: Reflect, revise, and realign. Progress may feel slow, but it’s profound.

🌟 Overall Energy

• Fixed energy dominates → determination, persistence, and resistance to change.

• The waning gibbous Moon → time to release, integrate, and let go after the Full Moon.

Opportunities for flow and ease are everywhere right now — especially if you’re willing to take small, steady steps.

✨ Spirit’s reminder: The sky is full of moving pieces, but the essence of today is simple — let go of what no longer serves, trust your focus, and keep your heart open as you move forward.

🌌 What’s Rising to the Surface for You

✨ Spirit’s Message — Birds & Animus

Now that we’ve looked at today’s astrology, let’s turn to the spiritual guidance. I pulled two cards from the Lenormand deck: Birds and Animus (Man).

Birds symbolize communication and connection. Sometimes they show up as chatter, gossip, or anxious overthinking. Other times, they point to the important conversations that bring clarity and truth.

Spiritually, Birds also remind us of freedom, perspective, and guidance from above. They encourage us to rise above the noise of daily worries and listen for the messages that really matter — from others, from Spirit, and from our own intuition.

Animus represents confidence, action, and showing up with presence. It’s not about gender — it’s about stepping forward with courage and backing up words with action.

Together, these cards bring a simple but powerful message: don’t get stuck in endless chatter or overthinking. Speak honestly, listen carefully, and then take action to follow through.

✨ Spirit’s nudge: It’s not about saying more — it’s about saying what matters, and letting your actions prove your truth.

🌿 Healing Practice

1. Ground Your Thoughts: Write down one repeating thought or worry circling in your mind. Acknowledge it, then release it.

2. Clarify Your Words: Ask yourself: What’s the one message I need to express today? Focus there instead of trying to cover everything.

3. Take One Bold Step: Even something small — sending the message, asking for clarity, or taking a long-postponed action — shifts the energy.

💫 Tips for Today

• Don’t over-explain. A single honest sentence can speak volumes.

• Notice tone and body language — communication is more than words.

• If anxiety rises, step outside and listen to birdsong or the wind — nature will reset your energy.

✨ Affirmation

“I rise above the noise. My words carry truth, my presence carries strength, and my actions flow with purpose.”

🌅 Thanks for stopping by today.

The sky and Spirit were on the same page — reminding us that it’s not about overthinking or holding back, but about speaking honestly and letting your actions follow your heart.

Growth doesn’t need to be huge. Sometimes it’s just one simple step forward — a word you finally say, a thought you let go of, or a choice you lean into.

I’m so grateful you spent a little time here. ✨ I’ll be back tonight with a reflection on my socials, and Monday with a new blog. If you’re new, you can peek at my [Linktree] to see what I offer and join our community.

With love,
