✨ Welcome to Northern Light Lotus! ✨
Hello, friends—whether this is your first visit or you’ve been here many times, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. It’s Laura, your friendly astrologer and psychic medium, inviting you to take a deep breath and settle into the soft, reflective energy following yesterday’s Full Moon. 🌙
Imagine the lingering glow of moonlight gently guiding you inward, inviting you to release and realign. Pour yourself a cozy drink, wrap up in your favorite blanket, and let this space be your little corner of calm and clarity today.
The Waning Moon’s Wisdom
After the powerful illumination of the Cancer Full Moon, we’ve entered the waning phase—a time to let go, reflect, and create space for new intentions. The Moon is now in radiant Leo, encouraging you to embrace your courage, celebrate your individuality, and reconnect with your inner fire.
This isn’t a time for overthinking or rushing. Instead, let the waning Moon guide you to release anything that no longer feels like “you.” What patterns, fears, or doubts are you ready to leave behind? Leo reminds us to move forward boldly, with our hearts leading the way.

Today’s Cosmic Vibes
🌟 Let Your Light Shine
The Leo Moon is here to remind you that even during moments of rest and reflection, your unique light deserves to shine. This energy asks you to celebrate what makes you special, whether it’s your creativity, kindness, or the way you make others feel.
🌟 Balance and Flow
The Sun in Capricorn brings a grounding energy, perfect for staying steady and focused on your goals. Pair that with Leo’s playful confidence, and it’s a reminder to ask: “Am I balancing my hard work with moments that fill me with joy?”
🌟 Embrace the Unexpected
Uranus adds a touch of cosmic spontaneity today, bringing surprises and shifts that could open new doors. Stay open—sometimes, the universe shows us magic in ways we never expect.
How to Work with Today’s Energy
Here are a few simple, heartfelt ways to align with the Leo Moon and the waning lunar phase:
• Reflect and Release:Take a moment to journal one thing you’re ready to let go of—an old habit, fear, or doubt. As the Moon wanes, imagine her carrying it away, making room for something new.
• Celebrate Your Strengths:Write down three things you love about yourself or are proud of, no matter how small. Honor the light you bring to the world.
• Move with Joy:Dance, sing, or do something creative to reignite your spark. Let yourself play without worrying about perfection.
• Stay Curious:If something unexpected comes your way today, trust that it might be a nudge toward something exciting and new.

A Little Reminder
The waning Moon reminds us that growth comes not only from action but also from letting go. Release what feels heavy, celebrate what feels true, and trust the unfolding process. With the Leo Moon lighting the way, this is a time to move forward with courage and joy—knowing that even small steps can lead to big transformations.
Every zodiac sign connects with today’s cosmic energy in its own unique way. The Leo Moon encourages us all to embrace our light, while the Capricorn Sun reminds us to stay grounded in our goals. Together, they create a beautiful balance between dreaming big and making it real.

Today’s Closing Cosmic Wisdom 🌟✨
As we close this day under the gentle glow of the waning Leo Moon, I want to leave you with a reminder to lead with love—toward yourself and others. 💖 The Leo Moon encourages us to shine brightly, but it also teaches us to embrace others’ light, imperfections, and stories with grace. 🌟
This ties into a truth that speaks deeply to me: none of us walk through life without mistakes, doubts, or wounds. We’re all learning, healing, and doing our best. Instead of casting judgment—on yourself or anyone else—can you soften into understanding? Can you hold space for yourself and others to be wonderfully human? 🌙
When we release judgment, we create space for connection, healing, and the courage to simply be.
Reflection Prompt 🌸
Take a moment to pause and reflect:
1. 💭 What’s one part of yourself you’ve been judging that you can choose to love instead?
2. 💕 How can you practice compassion toward someone whose story you don’t fully know?
3. 🌟 What does grace mean to you in this moment?

Collective Mantra for the Day 🌟
“I choose love over judgment, grace over perfection, and connection over fear. 🌿 I honor myself and others as we are—growing, learning, and shining.”
Tarot for the Collective 🔮
Card: The Strength Card 🦁

Today’s Cosmic Invitation 🌟
The waning Leo Moon encourages us to embrace joy, release judgment, and step into the grace of simply being. Here’s how you can honor today’s energy:
✨ Celebrate Your Unique Light: Do one small thing that feels true to you—whether it’s dancing to your favorite song, wearing something that makes you glow, or sharing a kind word with someone. 💃🌟
✨ Practice Self-Compassion: When a critical thought arises, pause and reframe it with kindness. 🧘 You are enough just as you are.
✨ Extend Grace to Others: Whether it’s a kind gesture, a moment of forgiveness, or simply letting someone be, offer the gift of understanding today. 🤝

A Closing Note
As you wind down, I want you to remember this: no one has the whole picture. 🌙 We all carry unseen burdens, untold stories, and lessons we’re still learning. By choosing compassion—for yourself and those around you—you create a ripple of love that can transform your world. 💖
This is the heart of Leo energy: courage, warmth, and connection. When you shine with love, you give others permission to do the same. 🦁✨
