✨ Welcome In
Hi friends — whether you’re finding me for the first time or you’re one of my regular readers, I’m so glad you’re here. 💫 I’m Laura — intuitive astrologer, psychic medium, and the heart behind Northern Light Lotus.
Every day, I blend what’s happening in the sky with spirit-led guidance so you can feel supported, inspired, and more connected to your own path.
Today we step into Virgo season, and the sky is buzzing with rare cosmic patterns. Imagine the universe doodling giant shapes above us — triangles, diamonds, and even a six-pointed star (called a Star of David) that almost never shows up.
These kinds of alignments act like energetic blueprints, helping us reset, realign, and move forward with fresh clarity.
The big themes? 🌱 Clarity, breakthroughs in relationships, and a balance of support and challenge.
This is the kind of day where small steps forward carry big ripple effects, and where new insights can completely shift how you see yourself and your path.
🌌 Today’s Energy at a Glance
We’ve just entered Virgo season 🌱 — which means the spotlight shifts toward the practical, the purposeful, and the things that actually make life easier. Virgo energy isn’t about perfection, it’s about paying attention to what matters most and letting small, consistent steps carry you forward.
But today’s chart isn’t just about Virgo — it’s layered with rare, magical patterns that make this moment feel extra powerful:
✨ The Sun on the Midheaven — The Sun is high in the sky, asking you to shine in ways that feel meaningful. This is a time to be seen, share your gifts, and take even small steps toward your purpose.
✨ The Moon in Libra — Emotionally, we’re craving peace and balance. You may notice your relationships, partnerships, or even inner self-talk calling for harmony. The good news? The Moon is linking arms with Uranus and Pluto in a rare triangle that brings breakthrough moments. Expect “aha” insights about love, connection, or how you show up in the world.
✨ Venus in Leo on Fire — Venus (planet of love, beauty, and creativity) just entered Leo and is lit up with more connections than any other planet today. Translation? Relationships, self-worth, and creative expression are center stage. You might feel a tug between craving connection and facing old wounds, but it’s all helping you love yourself more fully.
✨ Star of David + Castles + Cradles — Okay, this is wild. The sky is forming patterns that look like a six-pointed star and protective “cradles.” These don’t happen often, and when they do, they create a net of support. It’s like the universe is saying, “Yes, challenges are here, but you’re cushioned — you’re supported to grow through them.”
✨ Saturn + Neptune in Aries — The planets of structure and dreams are side by side at the very beginning of Aries. This feels like the birth of a brand-new cycle — blending vision with action. It’s cosmic permission to build something fresh that aligns with your soul.
🌙 The Takeaway: Today’s energy is both grounding and expansive. We’re being invited to plant new seeds (Virgo), find harmony (Libra Moon), and trust that even the challenges are wrapped in support. It’s a reset point where clarity, relationships, and purposeful steps all weave together.
✨ Your Horoscopes
Now that we’ve explored today’s energy, let’s see how it may be showing up for you. These horoscopes are written for your Sun sign, but if you also know your Moon sign (your emotional world) and your Rising sign (the way you approach life and how others see you), read those too — together they’ll give you the fullest picture.
Take what resonates, and let Spirit guide you toward the message that feels meant for you. 🌙

🌴 Spirit’s Message: Beach Hut – Retreat
After looking at how today’s energy unfolds for each sign, I felt called to pull a card for those who need an extra message right now. Spirit never misses — and if your eyes are on this, trust it’s meant for you. ✨
The card that came forward is Beach Hut – Retreat.
🪞 The Card: Beach Hut – Retreat
Meaning: Everyone needs space from time to time to gather thoughts and retreat from the busy world. The beach hut is a reminder that it’s time to withdraw into your own space.
If you’re in the middle of negotiations, projects, or general life-drama, step back so you can see the bigger picture. By retreating to the safety of your “beach hut,” you can watch from a calmer distance, notice the storm clouds on the horizon, and then step forward again when the time feels right.
Question: How would it be more beneficial for you to retreat?
Affirmation: I retreat to see the bigger picture.
🌟 Why This Matters for You
“If you’re not speaking it, you’re storing it. And that gets heavy.”
So many of us hold things inside — stress, worries, grief, even unspoken joy — until it feels unbearable. Spirit is reminding you: you don’t have to carry it all alone. But here’s the key — be mindful of how and why you share.
• Speaking it out releases the weight from your body and heart.
• Journaling it out gives your soul a private space to process.
• Sharing with one safe person can lighten the load in healthy ways.
👉 But don’t share just to seek validation.
When we chase approval, it’s like pouring into a cup with holes. Validation feels good in the moment, but it fades — leaving you emptier and craving more. True release comes when you share to express, not to convince.
🛠️ Tools for Your “Beach Hut” Retreat
• Micro-Retreat: Take 10 minutes in silence — light a candle, stretch, or breathe deeply.
• Safe Space in Your Mind: Even in stress, picture your own beach hut — calm, quiet, protected. Breathe there before responding to anything.
• Journaling Prompts:
✨What am I holding inside right now that feels heavy?
✨Am I sharing to be heard, or to be validated?
✨What would my inner beach hut look and feel like?
• Voice Release: Speak your feelings out loud in a safe, private space. No filter, no judgment.
• Soul Support: Hand it over to Spirit — say, “This is too heavy for me alone. Please hold it with me until I’m ready.”
🌙 Affirmations
• I retreat to see the bigger picture.
• My truth is valid, even if no one else affirms it.
• I share to release, not to seek approval.
• When I honor my space, I return lighter and stronger.
✨ Takeaway: The Beach Hut card is your reminder that retreat is freedom, not weakness. Whether it’s through journaling, sitting in silence, stepping into your safe space in your mind, or turning to Spirit, retreating helps you release the weight and return with clarity.
Step back today — your beach hut will always be there, waiting to bring you back to center.
🌌 Just like the stars reminded us earlier, today’s energy is about clarity and balance. The Beach Hut card ties it all together: retreat, breathe, and trust that when you return, you’ll step back into life with more strength and vision than before.
