Hey there—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.

I blend astrology with Spirit-led guidance to help you feel more clear, calm, and connected to yourself—especially when life feels overwhelming.

Whether it’s your first time here 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 here means more to me 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 messy right now doesn’t mean you’ve lost your way.

Even on the hardest days, simply showing up for yourself is progress.

Here, I break down astrology in a way that’s easy to understand and actually useful—no need to know all the planets or signs.

You’ll also find personal reflections, practical tools, and gentle reminders to help you feel more like you again.

Whether you’ve loved astrology for years or you’re just starting to explore—it’s all welcome here.

Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and trust that you landed here for a reason.

Happy Friday—let’s talk about what’s going on in the sky tonight.

The Moon is winding down in Capricorn, and the energy tonight is grounding, serious, and quietly powerful. It’s the kind of vibe that reminds you to slow down, take care of business, and gently check in with yourself.

I really felt that Capricorn vibe today.

I spent some time tidying up, did a little cleaning around the house, and treated myself to a much-needed reset. I even got my nails done in the softest Tiffany blue—it felt like a small breath of fresh air.

But the sweetest part of the day? Rosie—my dog who’s always been cuddly—did something that truly felt like a hug. She stretched into me with all her weight, gave me kisses, and rubbed her head against me like she was saying, “I’ve got you.” It was the first time it really felt like she was hugging me, and it completely melted my heart.

If you’re in my Discord community, come let me know if you have a dog (or any animal that makes your heart smile). I’d love to hear about them—or see a photo!

Sometimes, it’s the tiniest moments that reset you. The small wins. The simple comforts. The kind of quiet support that reminds you—you’re safe, you’re held, and you’re finding your way back to yourself.

🐾🐾🐾

Here’s what’s rising to the surface tonight—and a simple way to work with each energy:

1. Mars at the Top of the Sky (in Leo): A Push to Prove Yourself

You might feel this internal pressure to perform, achieve, or get recognition. Mars in Leo wants to shine—but if you’re feeling drained, this can show up as frustration or self-doubt.

Tip:

Do one thing that makes you feel proud tonight—even if no one else sees it.

Celebrate your progress without waiting for applause.

2. Sun Conjunct Uranus in Taurus: Shake-Ups and Inner Realizations

This energy can stir up unexpected emotions or surprising thoughts, especially around relationships, values, or what you’re holding onto out of habit. It’s here to help you break free from what no longer fits.

Tip:

Write down one outdated belief or pattern you’re ready to outgrow.

Then say aloud: “I trust myself to evolve.”

3. Mercury Tension: Communication Feels Off

Mercury is under pressure tonight, which can lead to misunderstandings or overthinking. You might feel like people aren’t hearing you—or you’re struggling to express what’s really going on.

Tip:

Pause before reacting.

Take 3 grounding breaths and ask yourself: “Is this worth carrying into tomorrow?”

4. Capricorn Moon: Emotional Stability Through Simplicity

This Moon doesn’t ask you to feel everything—it asks you to honor what matters most. You may feel emotionally distant or focused on your responsibilities, but that’s not a bad thing. It’s clarity.

Tip:

Choose one thing that’s been hanging over your head and gently take care of it.

That small step can bring surprising emotional relief.

Let’s bring it down to your sign…

Now that we’ve looked at the sky, here’s how the energy might be showing up in yourworld.

Read your Sun sign, and if you know your Rising, check that too—it often hits even closer to home.

⸻

Aries

Tonight might bring up some tension in your relationships. You’re craving honesty and closeness, but you might also be feeling misunderstood or underappreciated. Try not to take things too personally if someone seems distant or off. This is a chance to reflect on what you need and whether you’ve been speaking up about it.

Tip: Write down what you’re craving emotionally—then ask yourself if you’ve given yourself permission to ask for it.

⸻

Taurus

You might be feeling a little stretched right now. Part of you wants to stick to what’s safe and familiar, but another part is sensing that change is needed. You don’t have to rush, but you also don’t have to stay where your soul feels restless. Use tonight to gently check in with yourself.

Tip: Step outside for a few minutes and let the air clear your mind. Let nature remind you that steady growth is still growth.

⸻

Gemini

Your mind is full tonight—and that can be exhausting. There may be a lot you’re trying to process, plan, or figure out. But clarity doesn’t always come from thinking harder. It comes from softening your grip on needing to know right now.

Tip: Set a timer and brain-dump everything on your mind. Don’t judge it—just release it. Then give yourself permission to do nothing for a while.

⸻

Cancer

The Moon’s energy is asking you to reflect on how much you’ve been giving—and whether you’ve been receiving the same in return. You might feel emotional or raw tonight, but that doesn’t mean you’re being “too much.” It just means your heart is awake.

Tip: Wrap yourself in something warm, close your eyes, and say: “I am allowed to need care, too.”

⸻

Leo

Mars is lighting up your public image and career zone, which might make you feel like you need to “perform” or push yourself harder. But real confidence isn’t about proving anything—it’s about feeling solid in who you are.

Tip: Write down one thing you’re proud of today, no matter how small. Let that be enough tonight.

⸻

Virgo

You may feel torn between what your head says and what your intuition is quietly whispering. Logic is useful—but it’s not the only voice that matters. Tonight, let your heart speak. It might surprise you with what it already knows.

Tip: Light a candle, breathe slowly, and ask yourself: “What would make me feel safe right now?” Let that guide your next step.

⸻

Libra

You’re highly tuned in tonight—maybe even a bit too much. You could be picking up on other people’s energy and mistaking it for your own. Remember, just because someone around you is struggling doesn’t mean it’s your job to carry it.

Tip: Try a quick energy reset: stretch your arms out wide, take a deep breath, and imagine anything heavy leaving your body as you exhale.

⸻

Scorpio

With Mercury, Venus, and the Moon activating your relationship zones, things may feel emotionally charged or unclear. Try not to read between every line or take silence as rejection. This is a chance to slow down and see what’s actually true, not just what fear is saying.

Tip: If you feel triggered, pause and ask: “What story am I telling myself right now—and is it actually real?”

⸻

Sagittarius

You might be putting a lot of pressure on yourself to figure things out or fix things quickly. But not every step has to be productive to be valuable. Slowing down doesn’t mean giving up—it means showing up for yourself in a different way.

Tip: Choose one thing to take off your to-do list tonight and let yourself rest without guilt.

⸻

Capricorn

With the Moon in your sign, you may feel emotions rising in ways you didn’t expect. This isn’t a weakness—it’s a wave that’s meant to bring you closer to yourself. Let yourself soften tonight. You don’t have to hold it all together right now.

Tip: Put your hand on your heart and say: “I’m allowed to feel. I don’t have to carry everything alone.”

⸻

Aquarius

Something’s shifting beneath the surface for you—maybe a realization, maybe a quiet nudge toward change. You don’t have to act on it right away, but don’t ignore it either. Let yourself explore the “what if” without pressure to figure it all out.

Tip: Light a candle and let your mind wander. Daydream. Let the future come to you instead of chasing it.

⸻

Pisces

You might be thinking a lot about your future tonight—your purpose, your path, or how you want your life to feel. There’s no need to force clarity. Just trust that the vision will come into focus when it’s meant to.

Tip: Create a little mood board (digital or paper) with words or images that inspire you. Let it be messy. Let it be real.

Spirit’s Message Tonight: Serendipity + Jupiter in Gemini

The card I pulled for us tonight is Serendipity—a little wink from the universe that something good might be lining up when you least expect it.

It’s not about chasing or forcing anything. It’s about trusting that things are moving in the background, even when it feels quiet.

Spirit gave me a strong nudge to talk about Jupiter tonight too—which makes this card even more powerful.

Jupiter is the planet of luck, growth, and good fortune—and right now, it’s in Gemini.

Jupiter expands whatever it touches. It’s like the cosmic “yes” energy that opens doors, brings blessings, and teaches you where life naturally flows.

When it’s moving through Gemini, we’re invited to follow our curiosity, speak our truth, and stay open to unexpected conversations or ideas. This is a great time to say yes to the things that spark interest—even if you don’t know where they’ll lead yet.

Serendipity shows up when you follow the nudge.

But here’s the deeper part—your natal Jupiter sign shows where your personal luck lives.

Everyone has Jupiter somewhere in their birth chart, and it reveals:

• Where the universe tends to support you the most

• What kind of energy brings you ease, success, and abundance

• The path you grow through, often without even realizing it

Here are a few quick examples:

• Jupiter in Cancer: Your luck grows when you lead with your heart and create emotional safety—for yourself and others.

• Jupiter in Sagittarius: Trusting your gut, taking bold leaps, and exploring new horizons brings major growth.

• Jupiter in Virgo: You thrive when you’re helping others, staying organized, and improving everyday life in meaningful ways.

Tonight’s affirmation:

“I trust that the universe is guiding me. I follow the little signs. I am open to where they lead.”

Wrapping up for the weekend

This weekend’s astrology is all about staying open to change and being mindful in how we communicate.

Saturday might bring surprise shifts or sudden clarity. Sunday could stir some tension, especially if conversations feel rushed or misunderstood. Be kind to yourself and others—no need to have it all figured out.

The best thing you can do?

Slow down. Stay curious. Don’t take things too personally.

I’ll be back with fresh insights on Monday, but until then—trust the pace you’re moving at. Let the quiet moments hold you. You’re doing better than you think.

If you’re feeling called to go deeper, I offer spiritual and astrological services to support you—whether you’re navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself.
