🌘✨ Cosmic Energy Update — July 18, 2025
Waning Crescent Moon | T-Square Central | Spirit’s Whispers Are Louder Than You Think
Hi sweet friends 💛
Whether you’re landing here for the first time or checking in like you always do—welcome.
I’m Laura, a psychic medium and intuitive astrologer behind Northern Light Lotus, where I help you make sense of the cosmic waves, emotional patterns, and Spirit-led nudges that shape your everyday life.
Every weekday, I post an energy update to help you reconnect, feel supported, and (most importantly) remember that what you’re feeling makes sense.
You’re never the only one.
Let’s dive into today’s astrology and see what the sky’s been whispering lately—because if you’ve felt emotionally all over the place, you’re not alone.
🔭 Tonight’s Energy: Simple + Straight to the Soul
🌘 Waning Crescent Moon in Taurus
We’re in the emotional exhale before a fresh inhale.
The Moon is slowing everything down, nudging you toward stillness, comfort, and reflection. If you’ve been doing too much, this is your cosmic permission slip to rest, recharge, and just be.
⚠️ Three T-Squares: Tension That’s Trying to Help You Grow
T-Squares are like emotional growth spurts. They create just enough pressure to push something up to the surface—something you’re ready to face, heal, or finally stop carrying.
Tonight, we’ve got three T-Squares, and here’s how they might be playing out for you:
⸻
1️⃣ Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius
Theme: Control vs. Trust
You might feel stuck between overthinking everything and wanting to just walk away from it all.
• Virgo: Anxious if things feel out of order.
• Pisces: Easily overwhelmed, craving an escape.
• Sagittarius: Restless, like your freedom’s being squeezed.
✨ Message: You don’t need to fix it all tonight. The universe has its own timeline—lean into trust.
⸻
2️⃣ Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius
Theme: Saying what you mean vs. staying quiet
Conversations might feel sticky. You want to speak your truth—but there’s tension around how.
• Gemini: Feeling scattered or misunderstood.
• Virgo: Trying to help but sounding too sharp.
• Sagittarius: Blunt words might come out before reflection.
✨ Message: Speak honestly, but breathe first. What you say matters—how you say it matters more.
⸻
3️⃣ Cancer, Aries, Aquarius
Theme: Healing old wounds + releasing outdated versions of yourself
This one cuts deep. You might feel emotional out of nowhere—or like you’re facing an old version of yourself you’re finally ready to outgrow.
• Cancer: Past family patterns or hurt may bubble up.
• Aries: Reactivity or defensiveness might hit hard.
• Aquarius: Control issues or inner resistance are surfacing.
✨ Message: Don’t fear the feelings. You’re not breaking down—you’re breaking through.
🌟 Support Behind the Scenes: The Cradle Formation
There’s a rare Cradle in the sky tonight—a protective energy pattern that acts like a cosmic hammock. So even though tension is high, you are being held.
Spirit is right here, softly guiding you through whatever feels heavy.
You’re not meant to carry it all alone. You never were.
🌬️ Energy Notes for Everyone (based on your element)
• Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): You’re craving peace but feeling pulled in too many directions.
• Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Your mind is busy—ground your thoughts before reacting.
• Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Your feelings are front and center—let them teach you, not drown you.
• Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): You want action, but tonight’s power is in the pause.
✨ So… what does this all mean for you personally?
Even when the collective energy feels loud, how it lands depends on your own story—your sign, your season, your chapter.
That’s why I’ve created personalized horoscopes below. These messages are here to help you reflect, feel seen, and settle into the version of you that’s quietly emerging through all this.
👇 Find your sign and let it speak to what you’re feeling.
Whether it’s comfort, clarity, or just a small exhale—you’ll find it here.
⸻
♈ Aries
You might feel unusually emotional or reactive tonight—and it’s okay. Old wounds are being stirred so you can finally stop carrying them alone.
Tip: Place one hand on your heart before bed and say: “I am safe to let go of what no longer protects me.”
⸻
♉ Taurus
With the Moon in your sign, everything feels louder—your cravings, your senses, your truth. Let your body lead, not your brain.
Tip: Take a warm shower or wrap up in your coziest blanket. Let your body exhale before your mind tries to fix everything.
⸻
♊ Gemini
You may feel mentally cluttered or misunderstood. You don’t need to explain yourself to everyone. Let your truth breathe.
Tip: Journal your thoughts before texting anyone impulsively. Let your words simmer first.
⸻
♋ Cancer
The past may feel closer than ever. You’re not backtracking—you’re healing something that’s ready to be seen with softer eyes.
Tip: Light a candle and write down one thing you’re ready to forgive yourself for. Burn it or tear it up.
⸻
♌ Leo
With Mercury retrograding in your sign, you may feel like you can’t find the right words. That’s not failure—it’s realignment.
Tip: Use silence as your power move tonight. You’re still leading, even when you say less.
⸻
♍ Virgo
You’re feeling pressure to get everything just right. But tonight is more about feeling than fixing.
Tip: Before bed, write down 3 things you did well today—no matter how small. Let that be enough.
⸻
♎ Libra
You’re walking a tightrope between keeping the peace and honoring yourself.The version of you that knows what you need deserves to lead.
Tip: Put your phone away early tonight. Protect your energy from everyone else’s opinions.
⸻
♏ Scorpio
You might feel emotionally distant one moment and overwhelmed the next.That’s your nervous system recalibrating.
Tip: Listen to music that matches your mood. Let sound move what words can’t.
⸻
♐ Sagittarius
You’re craving motion or answers—but Spirit says pause. Sometimes stillness is the real adventure.
Tip: Step outside for five minutes and just look up. Let the sky reset your energy.
⸻
♑ Capricorn
You’ve been strong for everyone—but you don’t have to be tonight. Feeling is strength, too.
Tip: Watch something light, eat your favorite snack, or go to bed early—without guilt.
⸻
♒ Aquarius
You’re holding tight to something that’s shifting. It’s okay to loosen your grip. What’s meant for you won’t need force.
Tip: Try a 5-minute breathing or grounding meditation to calm your system and release control.
⸻
♓ Pisces
You’re absorbing everything—and it’s making your heart feel raw. That’s not weakness. That’s awareness.
Tip: Before bed, visualize yourself surrounded in soft light. Say: “Only love and truth are welcome here.”

🔮 Spirit’s Message Tonight: FREEDOM
You’ve just explored the cosmic energy and what it’s stirring for your sign… now Spirit wants to take you deeper.
Tonight’s message is simple, but powerful:
You are not stuck. You are not behind. You are free to choose again.
The Freedom card appeared for a reason.
With Mercury retrograde in Leo, three high-pressure T-squares, and a rare Cradle formation offering quiet support, this card arrives like a truth your soul already knows:
✨ You are not tied to who you used to be.
✨ You are not obligated to keep performing what no longer fits.
✨ You are free to ask questions, shift direction, or walk away from something you’ve outgrown.
Even if your current situation feels like a cage, Spirit is reminding you the door was never locked.
🌿 Why This Card Might Be Showing Up Now
This card tends to appear when:
• You’ve outgrown a role, label, dynamic, or identity you once felt safe in.
• You’re holding onto something out of guilt, habit, or fear—not alignment.
• You’re secretly craving change, but second-guessing your right to want more.
Let this message land deeply:
Freedom isn’t about being reckless or starting over every time something feels hard.
It’s about honoring who you’ve become—and giving yourself permission to live accordingly.
📝 Journal Prompts for Clarity + Courage
1. Where in my life am I pretending to be okay just to keep the peace?
2. What part of myself have I been dimming in order to stay “safe”?
3. If I could do one thing differently right now—without fear or guilt—what would it be?
4. What version of me am I ready to thank… and gently release?
🕯️ Gentle Ways to Work with This Energy
• Do one small thing that feels like freedom.
Say no without explaining. Move your body just for joy. Turn your phone off early. Let yourself feel unavailable for anything that drains you.
• Create a “Freedom List.”
Write down 5 things you’re no longer available for—and 5 things you’re ready to welcome in. Use this as a grounding tool when you start to doubt yourself.
• Try something new, even in a small way.
A new recipe, a different route, a fresh scent, or a new type of music. Shake the dust off your day-to-day and remind your nervous system that change can feel good.
• Speak your truth, even if it’s just to yourself.
You don’t need to share it with the world right away. But be honest in your journal, in a prayer, or in the mirror. Honesty is the first breath of freedom.
✨ A Truth to Carry With You
You are not here to live on autopilot.
You are not here to shrink to make others comfortable.
You are not here to replay roles you’ve already outgrown.
You are here to evolve. To feel. To grow.
To choose, again and again, what aligns with who you’re becoming.
And if something no longer fits—it’s not a failure. It’s a signal.
You’re allowed to let go.
You’re allowed to take up space.
You are allowed to change your mind.
Take one breath of truth tonight. One act of freedom.
And let that be enough to begin.

💫 Here’s a quick look at the weekend energy:
Saturday (July 19)
has a calm, steady feeling. You might feel inspired to clean your space, finish something you’ve been putting off, or simply make things a little easier on yourself. It’s a good day to slow down, organize, or make small changes that feel good.
You may also feel the pull to reconnect—with someone from your past, an old idea, or even a forgotten part of yourself. If something (or someone) comes back up this weekend, it might be for healing or closure.
Sunday (July 20)
brings a lighter vibe. You might feel more social, curious, or ready to laugh again. It’s a great day to call a friend, try something new, or give yourself permission to rest and play. Let your mind wander and your spirit reset.
🌙 Use Saturday to feel grounded.
Use Sunday to come back to life—gently and at your own pace.
💛 No pressure. No perfection. Just small steps back to you.
If you’re feeling the call to connect more deeply, I’m just a message or booking away.
And I’ll be right back here Monday evening with your next update.
Wishing you a restful, soul-refreshing weekend.
You’re doing better than you think.
With love,
Laura 🌙
