Peace Over Proving: What Spirit Wants You to Know

Let Spirit Lead the Way

Waning Gibbous Moon in Sagittarius | Pisces–Aries Stellium | Grand Trine

Hi, friends—I’m so glad you’re here.

If you’re just finding me for the first time, I’m Laura—an intuitive astrologer and psychic medium behind Northern Light Lotus. I show up Monday through Friday with cosmic insights and gentle reminders to help you feel more connected to yourself, your path, and the bigger picture.

I see astrology as a soul map. It’s not here to tell us what to do—it’s here to show us how our energy wants to grow, move, and evolve. When we understand the energy around us, we can make choices that feel more aligned, grounded, and supportive.

And today’s energy?

It’s asking us to let go of needing all the answers and trust that clarity will come—not from forcing, but from listening.

What’s Rising in the Cosmos

Today’s Sagittarius Moon is stirring a desire for something more—more freedom, meaning, and emotional space to grow. But instead of encouraging a bold leap forward, the cosmos are asking us to take a breath and feel into what’s calling us.

We’re moving through some powerful cosmic patterns:

• A Pisces-Aries stellium is activating healing in friendships, purpose, and inner truth. You may notice shifts in how you connect with others—or how your heart’s been quietly evolving.

• Mercury and Neptune are conjunct, bringing spiritual downloads, foggy thoughts, and powerful messages from dreams or your intuition.

• A Grand Trine links the Moon, Mars, Neptune, Saturn, and Mercury—offering deep emotional insight, divine timing, and guidance that doesn’t need to be rushed.

This isn’t a day for pushing forward—it’s a day for trusting the pull.

Yes, there’s also a T-square stirring up pressure between the Sun, Mars, and Pluto, which might bring up old fears or frustrations. But underneath that tension is transformation. Even if you can’t see it clearly yet, something inside you is changing for the better.

And with Uranus rising and trines leading the day, don’t be surprised if something clicks in an unexpected way.

Let intuition be the compass today. Logic can catch up later.

What’s Rising to the Surface for You?

(Horoscopes for April 16, 2025)

⸻

Aries

This energy is asking you to soften where you’ve been pushing. You don’t need to have all the answers today—just the courage to sit with the questions. Let your inner fire guide you toward healing instead of hustling.

Tip: Give yourself permission to pause. A short walk or journaling session can help reset your nervous system.

⸻

Taurus

Old fears around change or vulnerability may stir—but so will quiet breakthroughs. You’re being asked to release the need for control and trust the rebirth that’s quietly unfolding behind the scenes.

Tip: Write down what you’re afraid might happen—then write a second list of what might go right.

⸻

Gemini

Your relationships are your mirror right now. If there’s a disconnect, it’s showing you where your voice wants to be heard—or where you’ve outgrown something. Don’t force clarity. Let it rise.

Tip: Pause before responding today. A deep breath can turn reaction into reflection.

⸻

Cancer

Take the pressure off needing to fix everything. Small, grounded shifts—especially around how you care for your body, energy, and space—will have a ripple effect.

Tip: Do one small act of care for your home or body today—it matters more than you think.

⸻

Leo

There’s something stirring in your creative spirit today. Whether it’s love, art, or your sense of joy—let it speak. This is your permission to play without a plan.

Tip: Put on music you love and let yourself move, draw, or dream without judgment.

⸻

Virgo

Family patterns or emotional habits might come up today—not to overwhelm you, but to show you what’s ready to be released.

Tip: Light a candle or say a simple release affirmation: “What’s not mine, I let go with love.”

⸻

Libra

A message, memory, or conversation might crack something open—but in the best way. Your voice has power.

Tip: If your throat feels tight, hum or sing to help open your throat chakra before important conversations.

⸻

Scorpio

This energy might touch on your self-worth. Not in a harsh way—but in a revealing one. You’re allowed to outgrow old roles.

Tip: Remind yourself of three things you’ve overcome—and how strong you truly are.

⸻

Sagittarius

With the Moon in your sign, your emotions might feel more amplified than usual. That’s okay. Let yourself be honest about what you want.

Tip: Let your body guide you today—if something feels expansive, move toward it.

⸻

Capricorn

You’re moving through quiet, inner shifts. Even if the outside looks calm, something deep is rearranging within you.

Tip: Slow down and spend a few minutes alone. Stillness will help you hear what’s growing within.

⸻

Aquarius

This is a day to lean into your people—the ones who support and see the real you. Something karmic may be healing in your community connections.

Tip: Reach out to one person you’ve been meaning to check on—it could mean more than you know.

⸻

Pisces

You’re realigning with your purpose. You don’t need to figure everything out today—but you do need to believe you’re worthy of what’s coming.

Tip: Write down one dream you’ve been scared to say out loud—and affirm that it’s possible.

A Message from Spirit

Tarot Pull: 6 of Cups | 5 of Swords | Queen of Swords (Reversed)

If you’ve been feeling emotionally full or mentally foggy today, Spirit is meeting you right where you are.

The 6 of Cups brings up memories, people from the past, and the parts of ourselves that still long for comfort or resolution. It’s okay to look back—but make sure you’re remembering the truth, not just the feeling.

The 5 of Swords shows us the toll of staying in conflict—whether with others or within ourselves. You don’t need to keep proving your point to be understood. You can choose peace. Even if it means stepping away.

The Queen of Swords reversed reminds you to clear out the mental clutter. If you’ve been doubting your intuition or second-guessing your emotions, it’s time to return to your inner knowing. You’re wise. Trust that.

⸻

Tips to Ground This Message:

• Reparent Your Inner Child: Do something small today that your younger self would have loved. A favorite snack, a walk outside, a silly song.

• Choose Peace Over Proving: Notice where you’re trying to explain yourself too much—and offer yourself compassion instead.

• Clear Your Headspace: Journal everything on your mind or set a timer to move your body. Let the fog lift naturally.

⸻

Spirit’s Reminder:

You’re not behind—you’re becoming.

You’re allowed to outgrow who you used to be. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to change your mind.

And most of all—you’re allowed to be kind to yourself while doing it.

⸻

Thank you

for spending a little time with today’s message. If something here stirred something in you—trust it.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just keep showing up with honesty, heart, and a little faith. That’s more than enough.

If you’ve been wanting a deeper look into your birth chart, some clarity from Spirit, or a personal message to help you feel more supported, you can find everything I currently have going on here or through the link in my bio.

I also post daily horoscopes and spiritual reminders Monday through Friday, and you’re always welcome in the Northern Light Lotus community.

Let today meet you where you are.

Let yourself be proud of how far you’ve come.

And remember—you don’t have to rush what’s meant to unfold slowly.

With love,

Laura
