Hey there—happy Friday, and welcome.
I’m really glad you’re here.
If we haven’t met yet, I’m Laura—a psychic medium, intuitive astrologer, and the heart behind Northern Light Lotus.
Here, I blend astrology with Spirit-led guidance to help you feel more clear, calm, and connected to yourself—especially when life feels messy or uncertain.
Whether it’s your first time stopping by or you’ve been following along for a while, thank you for being part of this space. To those of you who check in often—I see you. Your presence truly means more than you know.
This space exists to remind you of something important:
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
And just because things feel off sometimes doesn’t mean you’ve lost your way.
Even on the hardest days, simply showing up for yourself is progress—and I hope this little corner of the internet reminds you of your strength, your intuition, and your ability to grow through it all.
So let’s take a breath, check in, and look at what the sky’s offering today…
Today’s Cosmic Vibe: May 23, 2025
The Moon is in Aries and the Sun is in Gemini—which means we’re juggling quick thoughts and big feelings. It’s a bit like running on coffee and intuition at the same time.
Let’s break down what’s rising to the surface:
You Might Feel… Energized or Easily Overstimulated
Moon + Venus in Aries = You’re craving connection, but on your terms. You might feel extra bold in love, in your emotions, or even just in your style. Mars in Leo is adding flair, confidence, and a bit of drama (the good kind).
Tip: Let your passion shine—just don’t let it sizzle someone else’s vibe.
Surprise Clarity Incoming
Mercury (thoughts) is hanging out with Uranus (shocks), so if you get a random download, gut instinct, or breakthrough idea today—it’s real. It’s also a good time for tech upgrades, writing projects, or clearing mental clutter.
Tip: Jot it down fast. Today’s thoughts come like lightning.
Your Dreams Are Whispering Truth
The Sun is sextile Neptune, which brings intuitive nudges and spiritual clarity. Something might feel right before it makes sense.
Tip: Don’t dismiss daydreams. They’re trying to guide you.
Big Picture Alert: The Push-Pull
We’ve got a rare energetic cross happening between Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node. Translation?
You might feel pulled between wanting to go all in and needing to slow down and rethink the plan.
Tip: You’re not being lazy. You’re recalibrating. Listen to both the fire in your belly andthe quiet voice saying “wait.”
So What’s the Move?
Today’s chart is full of sextiles (aka cosmic green lights)—but they only work if youwork with them.
You don’t have to make a giant leap.
Just…
• Speak up when you’d usually stay quiet.
• Try the idea that’s been circling your head for weeks.
• Text that person you’ve been thinking about.
• Or rest—and let a deeper truth rise up.
Affirmation of the Day
“I don’t have to rush to be aligned. I trust the pace of my path.”
What’s Rising to the Surface for You?
Let’s take a closer look at what each sign might be feeling under today’s sky—and how you can ground that energy in a meaningful way.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about noticing what’s showing up—and meeting it with presence.
⸻
Aries
The Moon’s lighting up your emotional world today, and it might feel intense.
Your instinct is to move quickly, but don’t skip past what your feelings are trying to teach you.
Tip:
Channel your emotions into motion—whether it’s a walk, a workout, or a solo car ride with your favorite song on repeat. Movement clears the mental fog.
⸻
Taurus
You’ve been holding steady, but today your spirit might feel a bit heavier than usual.
Something wants to be named and released—not fixed, just acknowledged.
Tip:
Write down what’s been weighing on your heart. Then gently cross off anything that doesn’t actually belong to you.
⸻
Gemini
With the Sun in your sign and Jupiter nearby, your energy is magnetic—but easily scattered.
You don’t have to chase every idea that comes through. Trust that the best ones will stay.
Tip:
Pick one curiosity to explore today. Follow it like a thread, and see where it leads.
⸻
Cancer
Even if you’re smiling on the outside, your inner world is craving comfort.
You might feel extra tuned in to other people’s moods—so be gentle with what you let in.
Tip:
Create your own safe space, even if it’s just for 15 minutes. Soft lighting, a warm drink, and quiet can work wonders.
⸻
Leo
Your boldness is beautiful—but don’t forget to check in with your deeper why.
Not every fire needs to become a show. Some are meant to warm you from within.
Tip:
Choose one thing today that feels meaningful—not just impressive. Let that be your spotlight.
⸻
Virgo
You’re seeing patterns clearly, even if others can’t quite keep up.
Trust your observations—but also leave room for magic.
Tip:
Free-write for ten minutes. Let whatever’s swirling in your mind land on paper, uncensored. There’s wisdom in the mess.
⸻
Libra
There’s a subtle shift happening in your relationships—maybe a boundary is being tested, or an old role is ready to go.
You don’t have to explain yourself to be valid.
Tip:
Pause before you say yes to anything today. That small breath may save you from overextending.
⸻
Scorpio
Old emotions might resurface today—not to trap you, but to offer clarity.
Something is asking to be surrendered, not solved.
Tip:
Declutter one small area of your space. As you release the physical, emotional weight often moves with it.
⸻
Sagittarius
Your passion is rising—but part of you might be wondering, “Is this the right direction?”
Spoiler: It doesn’t have to be forever. Just true for right now.
Tip:
Give yourself permission to explore without needing a perfect plan. Curiosity is a path.
⸻
Capricorn
You’ve been in deep growth mode lately—maybe even quietly grieving what you’ve outgrown.
That’s not weakness. That’s strength in its most honest form.
Tip:
Sit with what’s already shifted. You don’t need to start something new today. Let what’s here settle.
⸻
Aquarius
Something about the way you used to move through life no longer fits.
It’s time to upgrade the inner software—not by force, but by awareness.
Tip:
When a limiting thought pops up, gently rewrite it. Not with toxic positivity—but with truth and possibility.
⸻
Pisces
The world may feel a bit blurry today, like you’re drifting between timelines.
That’s okay. You don’t have to land yet.
Tip:
Do one thing that reconnects you to your body. Bare feet on the ground. A splash of cold water. Three deep, conscious breaths.

Today’s Spirit Message: “Suffering – Divine Teachers”
This card came forward with a quiet strength today. The kind of energy that doesn’t shout—but stays with you long after the moment passes.
If you’ve been feeling heavy, emotionally raw, or like you’re holding something no one else can quite understand… your Spirit team is acknowledging it.
They’re not asking you to bypass it or turn it into a positive affirmation.
They’re inviting you to sit beside it.
To let your pain speak, not to define you—but to guide you.
Here’s What Spirit Wants You to Know:
• Your suffering is not your failure.
It’s your soul in the middle of transformation. Even if no one sees the depths you’re moving through, your guides do.
• You don’t have to rush to feel better.
Healing doesn’t always come with a timeline. Sometimes the peace comes after you’ve let yourself feel it fully.
• Your strength isn’t in pretending you’re fine.
It’s in allowing yourself to be real—and still showing up with softness.
Try This Today:
1. Reflect, without fixing.
Take five quiet minutes. Let yourself feel what’s here without the pressure to “get over it.”
2. Write a letter to your pain.
No edits. No filters. Let your soul speak. You might be surprised at what wisdom lives inside the ache.
3. Say this aloud (or write it down):
“I hold space for my growth, and I trust that healing is already on its way.”
4. Reach out.
Whether to Spirit, a safe person, or your own inner knowing—let connection soften what feels too heavy to hold alone.
Spirit Reminder:
You’re not lost—you’re in the middle of learning something your soul came here to understand.
Let the pain be a passage, not a punishment.
Spirit is beside you every step.
Looking Ahead: Your Weekend Astro Forecast
Alright—if you’ve been waiting for a little plot twist from the universe, this weekend’s energy is here to stir the pot (in the best way).
Saturday, May 24 brings in Saturn’s big move into Aries, which kicks off a brand-new chapter around taking responsibility for your next bold step.
Think: “It’s time to stop thinking about the thing and actually do the thing.”
And because the universe loves a good mood swing, we’ve also got a love portal opening up on the same day.
This energy is all about reconnecting to what (and who) makes your heart feel safe and seen. It’s giving emotional spring cleaning meets soft girl rebirth.
Then on Sunday, May 25, things get extra juicy:
We’ve got a rare spiritual alignment—25/5/2025—that brings a major karmic reset.
So if you’ve been stuck in a loop, doubting yourself, or needing a fresh start, this is your cosmic permission slip.
And just to top it off, Mercury enters Gemini, making it the perfect time to say what’s on your mind, text that person back (or don’t), or finally admit what you really want. Conversations might get deep, flirty, inspired—or all three.
Your Weekend Vibe Check:
• Saturday = Soft reset. Choices. Tender love energy.
• Sunday = Speak your truth. Write the new chapter. Karmic glow-up loading.
Let the shifts happen.
Let the old fall away.
Let yourself feel ready—even if it’s a little scary.
And if something clicks this weekend?
It’s not random.
It’s right on time.
Before You Go…
If you’re still here, thank you for spending a little time with me today. I hope something in this space made you feel more seen, more understood, or just a little more grounded in your own truth.
