✨ Welcome In
Hi friends — whether you’re finding me for the first time or you’ve been here with me for a while, I’m so glad you’re here. 💫
I’m Laura, intuitive astrologer, psychic medium, and the heart behind Northern Light Lotus.
Every day I take what’s happening in the sky and translate it into guidance you can actually use — whether that’s for love, healing, career, or simply understanding why your emotions might feel the way they do.
Now, let’s talk about today.
The cosmos are painting a really interesting picture: the Sun is glowing in Virgo at the very top of the chart, putting the spotlight on purpose, routines, and how we’re showing up in the world. Think of it as a cosmic “back-to-school” vibe — organizing your energy, but also realizing where sudden shifts (thanks to Uranus) may be pushing you to break out of old patterns.
Meanwhile, the Moon is hanging out in Libra right next to Mars, which is like emotions meeting action. You may feel a little more reactive in relationships, or notice the urge to stand up for yourself where you’ve been quiet before. Add Jupiter into the mix and it’s easy to overdo it — so balance is the name of the game.
The cool thing? We’ve also got rare flowing patterns (like a Grand Trine and Castle) that bring creative breakthroughs, inspiration, and support to build something lasting. So while some parts of the day may feel like they’re pulling you into change, the universe is also giving you tools to feel grounded, connected, and supported.
It’s a “shake and stabilize” kind of day — where tension shows you what’s ready to evolve, and harmony helps you move forward with trust. 🌌
🔮 Let’s Look at Your Horoscope
Today’s cosmic energy is a mix of shifts and support: the Sun in Virgo is pushing us to refine our path, the Moon + Mars in Libra stir emotions in relationships, and Venus in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius is transforming how we love and express ourselves.
At the same time, rare patterns like the Grand Trine and Castle are bringing extra flow and stability, reminding us that change doesn’t have to mean chaos — it can also mean growth.
So what does all of this actually mean for you?
This is where your Sun, Moon, and Rising come in.
• Your Sun sign shows how today’s energy impacts your core identity.
• Your Moon sign reveals how it stirs your emotions and inner world.
• Your Rising sign shows how it plays out in your day-to-day experiences.
Together, they give you the full picture. Think of it as the universe holding up three mirrors so you can see your reflection from different angles. ✨
With that in mind, let’s dive into each sign and see what guidance the stars (and Spirit) are offering today — plus one tip to help you work with the energy instead of against it.
⸻
♈ Aries
The Libra Moon + Mars highlight your relationships, sparking passion but also tension. You may feel extra reactive when someone doesn’t meet you halfway.
Tip: Before responding, ask yourself: Am I aiming to connect or to win? Choosing connection brings peace and progress.
⸻
♉ Taurus
The Virgo Sun shines on your creativity and sense of joy, but Uranus is shaking up your routines. What once felt steady may now feel outdated.
Tip: Introduce one small change to your daily rhythm — it could unlock fresh energy and clarity.
⸻
♊ Gemini
Venus in Leo empowers your words, while Uranus in your sign stirs unexpected shifts in how you’re heard. You’re being called to express yourself authentically without over explaining.
Tip: Speak one truth that feels alive in your heart — simple and real is more powerful than a long speech.
⸻
♋ Cancer
Jupiter in your sign expands growth, but the Libra Moon brings focus to family and emotional safety. It’s easy to feel pulled between nurturing others and protecting your own needs.
Tip: Create a comforting ritual tonight (tea, journaling, or candles) — it strengthens your inner sanctuary.
⸻
♌ Leo
With Venus in your sign opposing Pluto, relationships and self-expression carry intensity. You’re magnetic, but not every reaction you get will be supportive.
Tip: Notice who truly celebrates your shine — those who compete with your light don’t belong in your inner circle.
⸻
♍ Virgo
The Sun in your sign is putting you in the spotlight, bringing visibility and fresh opportunities. Uranus is nudging you to embrace flexibility instead of perfection.
Tip: Share something you’re working on, even if it isn’t polished — your progress is inspiring to others.
⸻
♎ Libra
The Moon + Mars in your sign give you fire and drive, but also quick reactions. You’re learning that grace and timing matter as much as courage.
Tip: Take one deliberate step today instead of scattering your energy. Balance is your greatest strength.
⸻
♏ Scorpio
Today’s patterns stir deep transformation in your identity and relationships. Big truths may rise to the surface, and while intense, they’re guiding you closer to authenticity.
Tip: Ask yourself: Is this burden really mine? Releasing what doesn’t belong to you creates freedom.
⸻
♐ Sagittarius
The Virgo Sun highlights your ambitions, while the Libra Moon draws you toward friends and connections. You may feel stretched between your goals and your community.
Tip: Collaboration brings breakthroughs today. Share your ideas with someone who truly believes in you.
⸻
♑ Capricorn
The supportive energy in the sky helps you build long-term goals, but balance is still required. You may feel the urge to push harder, yet your intuition calls for reflection.
Tip: Check your motivation: Does this goal fuel me, or just drain me? Align your effort with inspiration, not pressure.
⸻
♒ Aquarius
Pluto in your sign opposing Venus stirs big shifts in love and relationships. Old patterns may resurface, but they’re here to show you where true freedom lies.
Tip: Vulnerability is your power — let yourself be seen without the armor, and watch connections deepen.
⸻
♓ Pisces
The North Node in your sign is guiding you toward growth, while the Libra Moon brings focus to shared energy and emotional exchanges. Others may lean heavily on you.
Tip: Protect your time and energy — saying “no” now creates the space for a more meaningful “yes” later.
⸻
✨ No matter your sign, today’s astrology is reminding us that growth often comes through both pressure and flow. The universe may shake us where we’re stuck, but it also offers support to steady our steps. Trust that both are working together to guide you exactly where you’re meant to be. 🌌

✨Message from Spirit (222)
Right before I sat down to channel today’s message, I noticed 222 — a sign of harmony, balance, and divine alignment. Those who know me know that 222 is a very special number for me, a hello from a beloved Spirit in heaven.
Spirit paired this sign with the image of a honey bee, reminding us that just like the bee works in steady rhythm with its hive, we too are being guided to trust in cooperation, patience, and the sweetness that comes from balanced effort.
222 and the honey bee together whisper: you are supported, your path is unfolding with divine timing, and your hard work will bear fruit in ways sweeter than you can imagine.
🌟 Affirmation: I trust the sweetness of divine timing.
And Spirit takes this one step further with today’s card, Connect with Your Angels, guided by Archangel Haniel.
This message flows perfectly with 222’s reminder, because it speaks to the truth that even when humans let us down, the universe never does.
Spirit is reminding you that while people can sometimes disappoint us, withdraw, or fail to meet us in the ways we hoped, you are never left without support.
Every soul on Earth is human, and humans are imperfect. But beyond that imperfection, you have an unshakable support system in your angels, guides, and loved ones in Spirit. They don’t judge you, they don’t abandon you, and they never grow tired of holding you when life feels heavy.
🌹 What to Do When People Disappoint You
And as I was channeling ideas, a note came through from my friend in Spirit:
“Drop your shoulders. Let your body relax. Take a slow breath in…and exhale with that big sigh sound — wooosaaahhh.” (Or however people technically say it — the point is to just let it all out.)
Even in the middle of disappointment, your breath can be your reset button, softening your body and opening space for Spirit to step in.
1. Pause before reacting. Take a deep breath and step back. Often, the most healing choice is not responding right away.
2. Ask Spirit for support. Whisper a quick prayer: “Show me what is mine to carry, and help me release the rest.”
3. Ground yourself. Place your hand over your heart or hold a crystal (Moonstone is perfect here) to remind yourself you are safe and loved.
4. Redirect your energy. Do something nurturing for yourself instead of chasing the other person’s approval — journal, walk outside, or connect with music that lifts your spirit.
5. Remember their humanity. When others fall short, it often has more to do with their own struggles than with your worth.
🌟 Affirmations for Moments of Disappointment
• “I am supported by Spirit even when people cannot support me.”
• “I release the need for others to validate me. My worth is unshakable.”
• “I choose peace over reaction, love over anger.”
• “I trust that Spirit will send me the right people who align with my highest good.”
• “I am safe, loved, and never alone.”
Take a moment today to close your eyes and say:
“I call upon my highest, best, most loving guides and angels. Wrap me in your light. Help me see, hear, and feel your love clearly. Guide me toward my highest good, remind me that I am safe, and show me that I am never truly alone.”
💎 Crystal Connection: Moonstone — Archangel Haniel’s stone. It gently opens the heart, heightens intuition, and soothes the emotions. Keeping Moonstone near you can serve as a reminder that while human love may sometimes falter, divine love is steady, constant, and always accessible.
📝 Journaling Prompt
“When was a time I felt Spirit supporting me when others couldn’t, and how can I open to that support again today?”
🌌 Spirit’s reminder today is this:
when humans let us down, it doesn’t mean you’re unworthy of love — it means Spirit is guiding you to look higher, to connect with the love that never leaves. Your angels and guides are with you in every step, every breath, every moment. You are safe. You are held. You are loved more deeply than you can imagine.
