Trust the Current: Today’s Sky + Dolphin Spirit Guidance

✨ Welcome In ✨

Hi friends — whether you’re new here or one of my regular readers, I’m so glad you’ve found your way back to Northern Light Lotus. 💫

👋 I’m Laura, intuitive astrologer and psychic medium, and every weekday I take the sky’s energy and translate it into something you can actually feel and use in your everyday life.

My intention is always simple: to help you feel supported, seen, and a little more grounded in your own path.

🌌 Today’s Energy — Real Talk

Today feels like one of those days where you’re both in “handle business” mode and also deeply aware of the emotions simmering underneath.

The Sun in Virgo is giving us that energy of wanting to clean up our lives — maybe literally scrubbing the counters or finally answering those emails, but also emotionally clearing what’s been weighing heavy. Virgo energy is like that friend who shows up with a checklist and says, “Okay, let’s sort this out.”

But then the Moon in Scorpio comes in and says, “Sure, but how do you really feel about it?” That mix can feel like being productive one minute and then spiraling into deep thought the next. It’s not bad — it’s actually the universe helping you notice what isn’t working anymore.

✨ Tip: If you start to feel overwhelmed, try breaking things into the smallest step possible. Clean one drawer. Answer one message. Sit with one feeling. Sometimes that “one thing” is all it takes to shift your entire mood.

There’s also a gorgeous flow happening in the sky right now (a Grand Trine) that feels like a cosmic green light. It’s like the universe is saying, “Stop overthinking, just trust the current.” You might notice little synchronicities today — a song lyric that feels like it’s speaking to you, a conversation that gives you clarity, or even just a wave of peace when you finally stop fighting yourself.

✨ Idea: Write down one thing you’ve been trying to control too tightly, and then set it aside — under a crystal, on your altar, or just in a drawer. Let it be held somewhere other than your brain.

Venus in Leo is also super active, which means the spotlight’s on love, beauty, and self-expression. This is “put on your favorite outfit for no reason” energy. It’s also “say what you mean” energy — but here’s the raw part: Venus is in a tug-of-war with Pluto, so there could be power struggles in relationships. You might feel triggered if someone tries to dim your shine or you notice yourself clinging a little too tightly.

✨ Tip: If things feel dramatic, pause and ask, “Am I trying to control this because I’m scared of losing it?” That one question can shift the whole vibe.

Mars in Libra is pushing us to handle conflict with balance. It’s not about who’s right or wrong — it’s about remembering that relationships, friendships, even family dynamics aren’t a competition. They’re about working together, even when it’s messy.

✨ Raw reminder: If you’re in a cycle of arguing, sometimes the bravest thing isn’t winning the fight — it’s stepping back and saying, “Okay, I hear you, but I’m not going to lose myself in this.”

And then we have a tricky piece: a T-Square that feels like you’re being pulled in three directions at once. You might feel like you want freedom, but also stability, but also connection — and those don’t always fit neatly together. If you feel restless, don’t judge yourself. Growth almost always comes from tension.

✨ Grounding idea: If your mind feels scattered, do something physical — stretch, dance, walk outside. Let your body move through the energy so your brain doesn’t have to carry it all alone.

✨ The Takeaway

Today is about balancing the practical with the emotional. Clean something small, feel something big, and don’t avoid what’s bubbling up — it’s trying to set you free. Trust that the universe is already moving pieces into place for you. And when things get messy, remember: your power isn’t in controlling it all. Your power is in choosing honesty, love, and presence — even when it’s imperfect.

🌟 Now Let’s Get Personal

The collective energy is powerful, but how it lands for you depends on your chart. That’s why I always recommend reading your Sun, Moon, and Rising:

• Your Sun shows where you’re learning and growing.

• Your Moon reveals what your heart and emotions need.

• Your Rising points to how the world is showing up for you right now.

Take what resonates, leave the rest.

♈ Aries

You may feel pulled in three directions — independence, responsibility, and relationships — and it’s exhausting trying to please them all. Tonight isn’t about choosing once and for all; it’s about admitting you can’t do everything at once.

✨ Tip: Write one sentence that begins with, “Right now, what matters most is…” Let yourself believe it, even if only for tonight.

♉ Taurus

The Scorpio Moon shines a light on your closest bonds, and it could stir up old hurts or jealousy. This isn’t to punish you — it’s the universe asking, “Are you still carrying what doesn’t belong to you?”

✨ Tip: If someone triggers you, pause before reacting and ask, “Is this about them, or something I still need to heal in me?”

♊ Gemini

With Mercury (your ruler) in fiery Leo and squaring the Scorpio Moon, conversations may cut deeper than intended. But honesty heals more than silence right now.

✨ Tip: Instead of dodging the heavy talk, try saying, “This is hard for me to say, but I want to be real.” That sentence opens doors.

♋ Cancer

Jupiter is blessing you with extra flow tonight, but the Scorpio Moon wants you to feel your feelings fully. If you’ve been “holding it together,” you may crack a little — and that’s okay.

✨ Tip: Do one comforting ritual before bed — light a candle, sip tea, wrap in a blanket — and let yourself exhale.

♌ Leo

Venus is in your sign, making you magnetic, but the Venus–Pluto opposition could pull you into control dramas in love or friendship. The key? Shine without gripping so tightly.

✨ Tip: Before bed, list three ways you can show up more authentically tomorrow without needing validation for it.

♍ Virgo

The Sun is in your sign, giving you clarity, but the T-Square energy may leave you feeling spread too thin. You can’t organize chaos into peace — you have to rest into it.

✨ Tip: Write a “to-don’t list” tonight — things you refuse to stress about until tomorrow. Sleep lighter.

♎ Libra

Mars is in your sign, giving you energy, but it may surface as irritability or impatience with others. Instead of rushing to keep the peace, notice where you actually need balance.

✨ Tip: Try saying “no” once tonight, even if it’s to something tiny. Notice how much space it gives you.

♏ Scorpio

The Moon is in your sign, which means everything feels more raw and more real. That intensity can be a gift if you channel it into release rather than control.

✨ Tip: Do a mini water ritual — shower, bath, or just rinse your hands slowly — and picture the heaviness going down the drain.

♐ Sagittarius

Your Rising is activated and the T-Square has you itching for freedom but feeling weighed down. This friction is the spark for growth — if you let yourself move, literally and emotionally.

✨ Tip: Step outside tonight, even for five minutes, and breathe under the sky. The bigger picture comes back when you expand your view.

♑ Capricorn

The Virgo Sun highlights your goals, but the Scorpio Moon tugs you back into your emotional world. Balance comes from realizing progress isn’t just about climbing — it’s also about pausing.

✨ Tip: Before bed, clear one small space (a desk, your phone apps, your nightstand). Your brain will thank you.

♒ Aquarius

Pluto in your sign is squaring Chiron, poking at wounds you thought you’d already healed. The discomfort isn’t regression — it’s refinement.

✨ Tip: Journal one page starting with: “What I don’t want to carry into next month is…” Then release it — rip it up, burn it, or tuck it away.

♓ Pisces

With the North Node in your sign flowing with Jupiter and the Moon, tonight has guidance written all over it. Doubt may creep in, but you’re being asked to trust that you’re aligned even if you don’t see all the proof yet.

✨ Tip: Whisper one prayer or affirmation before bed. Spirit hears you even when you think it’s too small to matter.

🌊 Spirit’s Message — Dolphin: Play

This is the card I pulled for us today — Dolphin: Play. After such an emotionally charged day, Spirit brings us a lighter reminder: don’t forget to play. Yes, life has challenges, and yes, there are things to work through — but when everything feels heavy, play becomes medicine.

The Dolphin swims up like an old friend, nudging you to smile, laugh, and shake off the seriousness. Sometimes we get so caught up in healing, hustling, or holding everything together that we forget joy is part of the process, too.

✨ Dolphin as an Animal Spirit Totem

The dolphin is a symbol of harmony, joy, and emotional intelligence. When Dolphin shows up as a spirit totem, it’s a reminder to balance play with depth — to know when to dive deep and when to rise up for air. Dolphin energy teaches us how to move through life with both sensitivity and lightheartedness, showing that fun itself can be a form of wisdom.

✨ Reflection Question: How can you be more playful right now? Maybe it’s dancing around your living room, sending a silly meme to a friend, or letting yourself enjoy something without guilt.

✨ Ideas to Invite Play Tonight:

• Put on one upbeat song and move however your body wants — no rules.

• Watch a funny clip before bed to reset your mood.

• Draw, doodle, or color like you did as a kid — messy, simple, fun.

• Text someone a lighthearted “remember when” memory to spark laughter.

✨ Affirmations to Anchor In:

• I’m naturally playful, and joy is my birthright.

• When I laugh, I heal.

When you lean into play, you’re not ignoring the serious parts of life — you’re giving your body, mind, and spirit space to breathe. That’s where real healing and clarity slip in.

🌹 Thanks for Being Here Today

Today’s astrology reminded us to balance the practical with the emotional, and the Dolphin card is here to remind us not to lose our sense of play along the way. Even in the middle of deep healing, messy feelings, or the weight of responsibility, Spirit always gives us permission to laugh, lighten up, and enjoy the moment we’re in.

Looking ahead, this weekend brings a mix of depth and sweetness: Saturday carries the Scorpio Moon’s pull toward emotional truth, while the evening lightens as the Moon connects with Venus in Leo — a perfect chance to enjoy love, connection, and even a little fun.

Sunday continues the emotional flow and sets the stage for next week’s powerful Pisces eclipse, reminding us to prepare for release and renewal.
