When Old Wounds Speak Up (and What They Want You to Know)
Understanding the feelings, patterns, and clarity coming to the surface today.
🌞 Welcome In, Friends
Hey everyone — I’m Laura, psychic medium and intuitive astrologer here at Northern Light Lotus.
Every Monday through Friday, I walk through the astrology with you in a way that feels real and grounded — not confusing, not overly technical — just an honest look at how the sky translates into what we’re actually feeling down here.
If you’re new here, I’m so glad you found your way to this space.
And if you’re coming back, thank you truly.
You help make this little corner of the internet feel like a cozy room we all gather in. 💛
Take a breath, settle in, and let’s look at what today’s chart is inviting us into.
✨ Today’s Energy at a Glance
Today has that quiet, deep, reflective tone — but it’s held by so much support.
The chart is full of rare healing structures like the Star of David, Castles, Cradles, and multiple Grand Trines.
These patterns don’t create pressure. They create cushioning.
They help you move through the deeper emotions without feeling like you’re being knocked around by them.
Under all of it, there’s this reassuring message:
“You don’t have to force anything today. Clarity comes when you slow down enough to hear yourself again.”
Here’s what’s shaping the energy ⬇️
🔥The Core Energies
🌞 Sun in Scorpio
This is when deeper feelings come up — the stuff you normally keep pushed down. Scorpio energy helps you get honest with yourself, even about things you usually avoid.
🌙 Moon in Libra
You might want calm, closeness, or just a break from tension.
Because the Moon is square Jupiter (which basically means emotions feel turned up), your feelings might come out bigger or louder than usual. Don’t blame yourself — it’s just emotional overflow working its way through.
🧠 Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius
Your brain might be replaying old conversations or patterns.
Retrograde doesn’t mean “everything is ruined,” it means your mind is reviewing things so you can understand them differently.
Mercury opposite Uranus
This is where things get real:
– random thoughts or memories can pop up out of nowhere
– sudden clarity hits you mid-conversation
– you might blurt something out before thinking
– unexpected messages or realizations land in your lap
It’s basically “surprise clarity” mixed with “unfiltered honesty.”
❤️ Venus in Scorpio
Love and trust are the themes.
You might see the truth about someone’s intentions — or your own.
It’s not messy; it’s clarifying. This energy helps you align your relationships with what’s real and meaningful for you.
🔥 Mars in Sagittarius on the Ascendant
This is fast energy.
You may react quickly, feel more sensitive, or get impulsive without meaning to.
Taking a half-second pause before you answer someone can make the whole day smoother.
🌊 Retrograde Season On Full Blast
With seven retrogrades running at the same time — Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, North Node, Chiron — everything is slowed down on purpose.
This isn’t stuck energy.
It’s review energy.
✨ Saturn + Neptune sitting on the emotional base of the chart may bring up:
• old fears or worries you thought you were done with
• moments where you second-guess yourself
• the urge to escape, numb out, or shut down
• feeling confused about what’s real vs. what’s just anxiety talking
• the need to set healthier boundaries with yourself or others
• a mix of “I want structure” and “I want to disappear for a minute”
• emotional memories coming up so you can finally understand or release them
⭐ Big Patterns (Your Support System)
🌟Star of David
This is rare, and it brings emotional clarity, support, and a sense of “you’re protected while you figure things out.”
It’s the kind of energy that helps things click into place without forcing anything.
🏰 Castle & Cradle Patterns
These are stabilizing forces.
They help you stay grounded instead of spiraling, so even if emotions rise, you land in a calmer place than you expect.
🔺 Grand Trines
Especially in water signs — this is intuition, emotional understanding, and those small-but-powerful aha moments.
It helps you feel your way through something and come out with more wisdom than you had before.
Even though the chart is deep, nothing feels harsh.
It’s more like being guided through something important instead of being shoved into it.
🌗
Waning Crescent Moon
This is the “let it go” phase.
Old emotional weight lifts.
You’re preparing for a fresh cycle.
Think: slow exhale, releasing pressure, feeling your shoulders drop.
💛 The Overall Message Today
Today is a turning point in a quiet way.
Not chaotic.
Not dramatic.
Just clarity rising in the places where you’re finally ready to see the truth.
You’re noticing what’s out of balance.
You’re understanding your emotional reactions differently.
You’re preparing to step into something lighter.
And you’re supported the entire way.
✨ What’s Rising to the Surface for Each Zodiac Sign
Now that we’ve looked at the collective energy, let’s see how today’s chart speaks to each sign.
With Scorpio revealing deeper truths, Libra helping you find emotional balance, and all these trines softening the process, each sign has its own theme unfolding.
Here’s what might be coming up for you — and a gentle tip to help you move through it.
⸻
♈ Aries
Something clicks today — a pattern you’ve been repeating emotionally finally shows its root. It may feel like an “aha” moment mixed with vulnerability, but this clarity is powerful. You’re understanding why you react the way you do, which means you can finally choose differently.
Tip: Before rushing into action, sit with the insight. Let the truth settle into your body — that’s where the real shift begins.
⸻
♉ Taurus
Relationships show you exactly where your peace is being protected… and where it’s being drained. You might feel more sensitive to imbalance, but that sensitivity is actually your intuition speaking louder.
Tip: Choose one boundary — even a tiny one — that honors your energy. It doesn’t have to be dramatic to be effective.
⸻
♊ Gemini
Old thought loops might show up, but not to pull you backward. They’re giving you a chance to respond with the wisdom you didn’t have before. This is you breaking a mental pattern, not falling into one.
Tip: When your mind speeds up, gently interrupt yourself with the question: “Is this true, or is this familiar?” Let your awareness lead.
⸻
♋ Cancer
A wave of emotion might rise today, but there’s a breakthrough tucked inside it — especially around worthiness, safety, or family patterns. You’re touching a deeper honesty about what you need.
Tip: Instead of trying to “figure out” your emotions, allow them to move through you. Your clarity comes after the feeling, not before.
⸻
♌ Leo
A truth lands in your heart — maybe through a conversation, maybe through a realization. It helps you gently close an old chapter and rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself.
Tip: Speak honestly but softly. Your vulnerability today has the power to heal something old.
⸻
♍ Virgo
Something you’ve been overthinking finally becomes simple. The pieces fall into place, not because you push, but because you stop forcing it.
Tip: Choose the most doable step — the one that feels grounded, not overwhelming. Progress doesn’t need to be dramatic.
⸻
♎ Libra
With the Moon in your sign, your emotions feel closer to the surface — but so does your wisdom. You’re noticing exactly where you’ve been stretching yourself too thin.
Tip: Give yourself permission to tend to one need today. Just one. It will rebalance more than you expect.
⸻
♏ Scorpio
With the Sun illuminating your sign, something inside you is being brought into the light — a truth, a desire, a wound, or a fear. You’re seeing yourself with new honesty.
Tip: Be tender with the version of you that’s emerging. Don’t rush the process. Let your growth unfold at your pace.
⸻
♐ Sagittarius
Mars + the Ascendant amplify everything: your passion, your reactions, your sensitivity, and your truth-telling. You’re not wrong — you’re just heightened.
Tip: Before you respond, take one long exhale. That breath will shift your entire day.
⸻
♑ Capricorn
Your emotional foundation is shifting — not breaking, shifting. Old patterns may rise, but you’re handling them with grounded awareness instead of shutting down.
Tip: Let someone you trust support you today. Leaning doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human.
⸻
♒ Aquarius
Unexpected clarity or insight may arrive — especially around friendships, purpose, or the next direction in your life. Pay attention to the subtle nudges.
Tip: Write down the ideas, realizations, or intuitive whispers that show up. They’re guiding your next step.
⸻
♓ Pisces
This chart holds you gently. You’re moving through a quiet kind of healing — releasing old fears and reconnecting with your inner truth.
Tip: Slow your pace, even a little. Your intuition gets louder when your world gets quieter.
🌿 Spirit Message — The Goblins Card
“Fear is an illusion. Choose love today. Forgive yourself and others.”
The Goblins card comes through so clearly today, and honestly, it’s such a perfect match for the energy in the sky.
This card shows up when the fears or reactions you’re feeling aren’t actually about the present moment — they’re echoes from the past. A tone, a memory, or a familiar sensation can suddenly pull up an older version of you… the one who once felt small, unsafe, or unseen.
And here’s the thing:
These “goblins” aren’t doing anything wrong.
They aren’t here to sabotage you.
They’re protective.
They’re younger pieces of you doing the best they could with the support they had at the time.
And today, those parts of you don’t need to protect — they finally want to be understood.
✨ What This Card Is Highlighting Today
You may notice:
• A fear or insecurity popping up out of nowhere
• Reading into someone’s tone or behavior
• Wanting to pull back, shut down, or create distance
• Feeling like you’re “messing things up” even when nothing is actually wrong
This isn’t a setback.
It’s not you losing progress.
It’s an old wound quietly saying,
“Hey… something here feels familiar.”
✨ The message behind the card is:
“See this through a gentler, more understanding lens.”
💛 A Human Take on This
You didn’t learn your patterns for no reason.
Life has shaped the way you protect your heart.
You adapted. You survived. You did what you needed to do.
So of course certain things still touch those soft spots.
Of course you still get triggered in moments that resemble something old.
That doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It doesn’t mean you’re “too emotional.”
It means you’re human.
And it means those younger parts of you deserve compassion — not criticism.
🌈 The Heart of the Message
• Notice the old voice when it shows up
• Don’t shame yourself — you learned it for a reason
• Remember: fear isn’t always the truth
• Give yourself grace, even when you’re overwhelmed
• Release the belief that you’re “too much” or “not enough”
• Let healing be something you move through, not something you race toward
There’s a spark in you that’s been fighting for your happiness from the very beginning.
That spark hasn’t dimmed.
It’s still here.
✨ This card is your reminder that this part of you is still active — and ready for support.
🌬 Working With Today’s Energy
• When you’re triggered, pause and ask:
“Is this happening right now, or is this an old memory resurfacing?”
• Slow down before reacting
• Choose a kinder thought, even if it feels small
• Tell yourself: “I’m learning. I’m allowed to grow.”
• Let yourself reach for support instead of bracing for impact
A final message from the Goblins card:
Fear may be loud…
but love is the truth.
And you deserve the kind of love — from yourself and others — that lets you feel safe, supported, and seen.
🌙 From My Heart to Yours
Thank you for hanging out with me today. I hope the energy breakdown, horoscopes, and Spirit message helped you understand yourself a little better.
If something in this stirred up emotion, that’s okay. It just means a part of you finally feels safe enough to come up and be noticed.
Healing doesn’t always look like a big breakthrough.
Most of the time, it’s you noticing your own patterns, taking a breath, and choosing not to turn away from yourself.
If you’re new here, I’m really glad you found your way in. And if you come back often, thank you.
You make this space feel like home.
