Welcome back, or if this is your first time here, thank you for joining! I’m Laura, a psychic medium astrologer and the owner of Northern Light Lotus. My passion is to make astrology easy to understand so you can connect with yourself and the world around you in a meaningful way.
Today, I’m taking it slow—I’ve got a bit of a headache, but I’m feeling grateful for the fresh snowfall outside. It’s one of those cozy days perfect for staying inside, sipping something warm, and reflecting. I hope your day is bringing you peace, whether you’re tackling to-dos or simply trying to get through.
The Energy for Today
The stars offer us a mix of fiery ambition and emotional depth. The Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius spark bold ideas, but with Mercury retrograde opposing Jupiter, communication might feel a little tricky. Slow down, double-check details, and focus on what truly matters.
Meanwhile, the Moon in Aquarius aligns with Pluto, inviting us to reflect deeply and release old patterns. This energy encourages emotional transformation, even in small ways. Mars in Leo adds courage and creativity but reminds us to balance action with emotional awareness.
What This Means for You
It’s a day to move with intention. Whether you’re leaning into the holiday spirit or just surviving, today’s horoscope offers tips to align with the energy in a way that feels manageable and supportive.
Let’s dive into how the cosmos is shaping your day, one sign at a time.
Aries ♈️
