Throw One Starfish Back
Astrology, belonging, and what small actions can really change right now
Hi friends 🤍
I’m really glad you’re here.
If you’re new to Northern Light Lotus, welcome.
This is a calm little corner of the internet where we slow down together, look at the energy of the day, listen for what Spirit might be showing us, and try to make real life feel a little lighter and easier to understand.
And if you’ve been walking beside me for a while now… thank you for being here. Truly.
It means more than I can ever fully put into words to share this space with you.
For those who don’t know me yet, my name is Laura.
I’m a psychic medium and astrologer, but more than anything, I’m just a real person who has lived through hard things, healing things, confusing seasons, and beautiful moments of growth—just like you.
Everything I share here comes from that place.
Not perfection.
Not having all the answers.
Just an honest heart, a connection to Spirit, and a genuine hope that something shared here helps you feel more supported in your real, everyday life.
And before we go any further…
✨ Happy Birthday to all my Pisces ♓️ ✨
Today the Sun steps into your sign, beginning a brand new solar year for you.
This is your fresh chapter. Your reset. Your personal new year.
Pisces season always feels like standing at the edge of something meaningful and new—the final sign of the zodiac, carrying the wisdom of every sign before it and quietly preparing us for the next cycle to begin again.
If you’re a Pisces Sun, this is your time to shine in your own intuitive, compassionate, deeply feeling way.
And if you’re not a Pisces…
we still get to move through this season surrounded by Pisces energy—and that’s something special.
Softer emotions.
Stronger intuition.
Deeper reflection.
Creative inspiration.
Spiritual insight.
The water is rising—and it’s inviting us to feel.
Today’s Astrology — What Really Matters
The main theme in today’s sky is Pisces, which is a very emotional and aware kind of energy.
With several planets in Pisces right now, feelings can be easier to notice than usual.
You might feel more sensitive.
You might pause before reacting.
You might think more about what something means instead of rushing past it.
This is simply awareness showing up.
And if today feels more reflective, creative, or inward than outwardly productive, that is still useful.
Some days are for action.
Some days are for understanding.
This energy leans toward understanding.
Another important piece is that this Pisces energy is very visible in the chart, which connects emotions to direction and life path.
In simple terms, what you’re feeling can tell you something about your next steps forward.
Not everything—but something worth noticing.
If the same thought or feeling keeps coming back, it may be asking for your attention.
And paying attention is often where clarity begins.
A New Chapter Is Taking Shape
There’s something important happening in the background right now.
Saturn and Neptune are meeting at the very beginning of Aries. You don’t need to know the technical side of that—here’s what it actually means:
This energy helps you see your life more clearly.
Something you hoped for, imagined, or believed in may start to feel more real.
Or… you may realize it doesn’t fit anymore.
This influence can help you sort out:
• what’s realistic
• what’s just wishful thinking
• what you’re actually ready to commit to
It shifts the focus from only dreaming to asking:
“Okay… what am I really going to do about it?”
You might feel supported in:
• setting clearer boundaries
• finding stronger motivation
• having less patience for confusion
• wanting a fresh start in one area of your life
This kind of inner clarity is often where real change begins— with a decision you make inside yourself before anything changes on the outside.
And from there, progress can build step by step in a way that truly lasts.
Supportive Energy Is Still Here
With emotions closer to the surface today, there’s more space to notice what you’re feeling.
With emotions more present today, the Moon’s connection with Jupiter adds a sense of comfort and support.
It’s connected to comfort, reassurance, and small everyday moments that remind you you’re not alone.
This kind of support is usually simple and easy to miss, like:
• a conversation that makes you feel better
• a memory that brings a little peace
• a brief moment where things feel okay
These moments might be small, but they still matter.
They’re reminders that support can show up in quiet, everyday ways.
What Today Is Really Asking of You
Today’s energy is quieter and more reflective than action-focused.
It’s less about pushing forward and more about understanding what you’re feeling and why.
You don’t need to be perfect today.
You don’t need to make big decisions.
You don’t need to change your whole life.
What may help most right now is something simple:
Be honest with yourself about how you feel.
Give yourself a little more time instead of rushing.
Pay attention to the thoughts or feelings that keep coming back.
This kind of awareness can help you understand what you actually need next.
Small moments of clarity matter.
And small, honest steps can lead to real change over time.
What’s Rising to the Surface for You
We all feel the same sky in different ways.
Your zodiac sign shows where this emotional awareness, clarity, and quiet support may show up in your real life today.

Today’s Message from Spirit
This has really been on my heart.
Partly from Spirit.
Partly from what I’m seeing everywhere right now.
So many people feel overwhelmed by the state of the world.
It feels chaotic. Messy. Uncertain.
And underneath that I keep hearing the same question:
How do we fix this?
What are we supposed to do?
Who is going to step up?
How can we possibly change something this big?
That’s a heavy thing to carry.
It’s exhausting to feel like we’re somehow responsible for fixing the entire world — especially when it feels like everything is happening at once.
And the card that came through today was Orphaned.
That feels honest.
A lot of people feel alone right now.
Let down.
Disconnected.
Like they don’t quite fit anywhere anymore.
When systems wobble and leaders disappoint, it can create a deeper fear underneath —
“Are we on our own in this?”
This card isn’t here to confirm abandonment.
It’s here to acknowledge the feeling.
Spirit is not saying, “You’ve been left.”
Spirit is saying, “We see that you feel alone.”
There’s a difference.
And here’s the steady truth that came with it:
You are not meant to fix the whole world by yourself.
That pressure was never yours to carry.
I keep thinking about the starfish story.
A man walks along a beach covered in stranded starfish.
Someone tells him, “There are too many. You can’t make a difference.”
He throws one back and says,
“It made a difference to that one.”
When the world feels like a mess, we start thinking in extremes —
all or nothing.
Fix everything or nothing matters.
But that’s not how the world actually works.
The world is more like a web.
Every action touches something.
Every conversation shifts someone.
Every steady, grounded choice strengthens a thread.
When you water your own grass —
when you take care of your mental health,
when you create calm in your home,
when you help one real person in a practical way,
when you choose not to add more fear —
you are strengthening your part of the web.
And strong parts connect.
That is how change spreads.
Not from one heroic act.
But from many ordinary people choosing steadiness, integrity, and care in their daily lives.
If you feel alone right now, this is the deeper message:
You are not abandoned.
You are not forgotten.
And you are not powerless.
You are part of something bigger — even when you can’t see the whole picture.
Belonging doesn’t always look like fitting into the loudest group.
Sometimes it looks like quietly aligning with your own core values and finding the people who resonate with that.
You may outgrow certain spaces.
You may feel disconnected from old communities.
That doesn’t mean you are orphaned.
It means you are refining where you belong.
So if the world feels overwhelming tonight, don’t ask yourself how to fix everything.
Ask:
What is one starfish I can throw back today?
What is one small patch of grass I can water?
What is one steady thread I can strengthen in my own life?
Start there.
That is not small.
And it creates a much bigger impact than you could ever imagine.
That is how the web holds.
That is how light spreads.
And that is how the world slowly shifts — one real, grounded act at a time. 🤍
From My Heart to Yours
Before we end, I want to say something clearly.
This message isn’t about politics.
It isn’t about sides.
It isn’t about telling anyone what to believe.
It’s about the energy of the world right now—and the noise.
The loudest things always travel the farthest.
Fear spreads fast.
Anger gets attention.
Chaos makes headlines.
But volume is not the same thing as power.
Goodness is often quieter.
Kindness doesn’t trend the same way outrage does.
Love doesn’t usually scream.
But that doesn’t make it weak.
Love has always been stronger than hate.
Good has always outlasted what tries to tear things apart.
It just doesn’t always move at the same speed as noise.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by what you’re seeing or hearing, it doesn’t mean you’re naïve or uninformed.
It means you care.
And caring is not weakness.
This space has always been—and will always be—for everyone.
All perspectives.
All backgrounds.
All walks of life.
You are welcome here.
My intention is never to divide.
Only to remind us of steadiness, awareness, and the small good things that are still within reach.
So tonight, step away from the loudest voices for a moment.
Water your grass.
Throw one starfish back.
Strengthen your thread in the web.
That creates more impact than you can ever fully see.
And even when the world feels noisy, chaotic, or uncertain…
Love is still here.
Goodness is still here.
And you are still part of the fabric holding it together.
If you ever want to explore your own chart, receive guidance, or simply stay connected to this space, everything is gathered in one place through my Linktree.
It’s there whenever it feels right for you.
I’m really glad you were here today. 🤍
