Thawing Out: Today’s Astrology + A Message for Overthinking
Welcome 🤍
Hi friends — I’m really glad you’re here.
Whether you’re just finding this space for the first time, or you’ve been coming back day after day, welcome. This little corner of the internet is here for you — a place to pause, breathe, and make sense of what you’re feeling without pressure to have it all figured out.
And if you’re new here: I’m Laura, an intuitive astrologer and psychic medium behind Northern Light Lotus. I share daily astrology + Spirit-led reflections to help translate the energy we’re living inside of into real-life language — emotions, relationships, choices, nervous system stuff, and those quiet inner shifts that don’t always have words yet.
If you’ve been here for a while… thank you. Truly. Your presence matters more than you know. 🤍
And before we dive in — I just want to acknowledge something so many of us have been moving through: a huge storm just rolled through, and a lot of people spent the weekend snowed in, ice-covered, bundled up, and doing the best they could just to get through it. If you’re feeling a little off, a little slower, or like your energy hasn’t fully caught up yet… that makes sense.
Sometimes weather like that doesn’t just impact roads and plans — it impacts our bodies, our mood, and our sense of safety too. So if you’re still thawing out, still catching your breath, or still feeling a little “emotionally cold”… you’re not alone. 🤍
Now let’s talk about today’s astrology, because it’s one of those days where the energy is definitely noticeable… but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. It’s strong in a way that can actually help you feel more grounded — especially if we move through it gently.
Today’s Astrology ✨
If today feels like your mind is moving faster than your body — you’re not imagining it.
We’ve got a strong mix happening:
✨ Aquarius energy is loud (mentally + energetically)
🌙 but the Taurus Moon is asking for calm, comfort, and steadiness.
So it’s like…
Your mind wants to evolve.
But your heart and body want to feel safe while you do it.
Aquarius Headquarters 🌀
Today is Aquarius stacked:
Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Pluto — plus the MC — all in Aquarius.
This energy helps you zoom out and get honest. It can bring thoughts like:
✨ “I’m outgrowing something.”
✨ “I can’t keep doing this the same way.”
✨ “I need more space to think.”
✨ “I’m ready for a new era.”
Aquarius doesn’t do fake.
It’s here to help you upgrade.
The Power Point: Mars + Pluto 🔥
Mars conjunct Pluto is the strongest vibe today.
This is quiet but intense “I’m done shrinking” energy — the kind that helps you reclaim your power without needing to prove anything.
You might feel:
• truth rising up
• a push to take control back
• motivation that comes from your soul, not anxiety
The goal today isn’t conflict. The goal is clarity.
Say It Clearly: Mercury + Venus 💬
Mercury conjunct Venus supports:
• writing
• honest conversations
• expressing what you actually mean
It’s the energy of:
“I’m ready to say this… calmly.”
If you’re creating content today, this is a great placement for getting your message out.
Deep Inner Shift: Sun + Pluto ☀️
Sun conjunct Pluto is transformation energy.
Not surface-level — identity-level.
It can feel like you’re quietly changing the way you show up, what you accept, and what you’re no longer available for.
Taurus Moon Grounding 🌙
The Moon in Taurus reminds you:
slow is not wrong.
simple is not lazy.
rest is not failure.
But with the Moon squaring the Aquarius planets, you might feel:
• emotionally sensitive but mentally busy
• like you’re overthinking your feelings
• like you want reassurance but don’t want to ask
If that’s you: you’re not “too much.”
You’re just processing a lot while still trying to function.
A Reminder for Your Nervous System 🤍
If your nervous system feels a little fried today, keep it simple:
• drink water
• eat something grounding
• move your body a little
• step away from overstimulation
• don’t pressure yourself to be emotionally “perfect”
You don’t need to force clarity.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is:
be kind to yourself while you’re changing.
And you are changing. 🤍
Today’s Horoscopes ✨🌙
(Aquarius energy is loud… Taurus Moon says breathe.)
Today’s chart is giving Aquarius mental clarity + deep inner shifts, while the Taurus Moon reminds us to stay grounded and take care of our nervous system along the way.
You may feel yourself outgrowing something in real time — not with fireworks, just with a calm, steady knowing.
This is “quiet power” energy.
The kind that helps you choose what aligns — and release what doesn’t.
Now let’s get into your horoscopes for tonight 🤍
⸻
♈ Aries
Today brings a quiet “I’m not doing that anymore” moment. Something about your future goals, friendships, or where your energy goes is shifting — and you can feel it.
Tip: Don’t force a big move. Make one small decision that protects your peace tonight.
⸻
♉ Taurus
With the Moon in your sign, you’re the emotional anchor today… but it may feel like people want more from you than you want to give. You’re craving comfort, not chaos.
Tip: Eat something grounding + do one simple task that makes your space feel calmer.
⸻
♊ Gemini
You might feel mentally wired but physically tired — like your mind is ready to reinvent everything at 2am. Big realizations are popping up fast.
Tip: Write it down instead of acting on it. Clarity gets louder after sleep.
⸻
♋ Cancer
Old feelings, old patterns, and “why does this still affect me?” thoughts could rise today. You’re healing something quietly — and it’s deeper than you realize.
Tip: Give yourself comfort without needing a reason. Warm shower, comfy clothes, soft show.
⸻
♌ Leo
You may feel extra aware of people’s energy today — who feels safe, who feels draining, who feels confusing. Relationships are giving you information.
Tip: If you feel irritated, it’s probably a boundary trying to speak. Listen before you explain.
⸻
♍ Virgo
Your mind wants to fix everything. Your body wants you to slow down. Today is about finding balance between productivity and actual wellbeing.
Tip: Choose ONE priority tonight. Not ten. One. And let that be enough.
⸻
♎ Libra
Your creativity and confidence are trying to come back online — but you may be shedding an old version of yourself at the same time. It’s a glow-up… just in the “awkward middle” stage.
Tip: Wear something that makes you feel like you. Even if you’re staying home.
⸻
♏ Scorpio
This energy hits your relationship zone in a big way. You may see someone more clearly today — for better or worse — and you’re not interested in pretending.
Tip: Don’t chase closure. Choose self-respect. That’s the real closure.
⸻
♐ Sagittarius
Your nervous system might be overstimulated today — too many thoughts, too many tabs open in your brain, too much input.
Tip: Do a “mental reset” tonight: phone down, lights low, and let silence do its thing.
⸻
♑ Capricorn
Today gives you a power boost — but only if you stop forcing. The more you let things be simple, the stronger you feel.
Tip: Do something practical that future-you will thank you for (even if it’s small).
⸻
♒ Aquarius
You’re the main character today 😅 This Aquarius pile-up is making you confront truth, identity, and what you’re no longer available for. This is your “new era” energy.
Tip: Speak less, choose wisely, and move with calm confidence. You don’t need to prove anything.
⸻
♓ Pisces
You’re extra sensitive today — but it’s not weakness, it’s information. You’re picking up on energy shifts before they make logical sense.
Tip: If something feels heavy, cleanse your energy gently: music, water, prayer, breath, or getting outside.
Spirit Message: Your Thoughts Aren’t Facts 🤍
Today, Spirit is bringing through a message that feels so needed right now — especially with so many people carrying worry, uncertainty, and those looping “what if?” thoughts.
Spirit wants you to remember this:
Not every thought you have is truth.
Not every fear is intuition.
Not every mental spiral is a warning.
Sometimes a thought is just… a thought.
A moment of your brain trying to protect you by planning for the worst.
And while that part of you means well, Spirit is gently reminding you:
You don’t have to live inside every scary possibility your mind can create.
If you’ve been feeling anxious lately, today’s energy is asking you to pause and do something simple:
Catch the Thought → Soften the Story
Instead of automatically believing the fear, try asking yourself:
“Is this a fact… or is this a fear?”
“Do I know this is happening… or am I imagining the worst-case scenario?”
“What would I tell someone I love if they were thinking this?”
Because most of the time, what’s draining you isn’t the moment you’re in…
It’s the moment you’re imagining.
And Spirit says:
You don’t need to abandon yourself to prepare for pain that hasn’t happened.
A helpful Reframe
Try replacing the “what if” with something calmer, like:
• “What if it works out better than I’m expecting?”
• “What if I don’t need to solve the whole future today?”
• “What if I can handle things one step at a time?”
• “What if I’m safe enough in this moment to exhale?”
Because the truth is — you’ve survived so much already.
You have proof inside you that you can meet hard moments with strength.
But you don’t need to pre-live them.
Today’s Reminder from Spirit
Your mind may be loud…
but your peace matters more.
So if you feel yourself spiraling, come back to something real:
✔ your breath
✔ your body
✔ what’s true in this moment
✔ one next step
✔ one calming choice
This is your sign to ground your thoughts in something steady again.
Not because everything is perfect…
but because your peace matters.
And that is powerful. 🤍
Today’s Affirmation
“I release the story my fear is writing. I choose what’s true right now.”
