In this episode of The Awake Space Astrology Podcast, Laurie Rivers gets personal about a difficult week filled with grief, family changes, exhaustion, and the reality that astrologers aren't immune to the transits they forecast. With Mercury and Mars creating tension and Pluto preparing to station direct in Aquarius, Laurie explores what happens when life pushes us outside our comfort zones. The pressure is real, but so is the potential to use it creatively and deliberately. This episode also takes a deeper look at anger, spirituality, power, and the idea that being spiritual does not require being passive. Love can be active. Advocacy can be loving. Anger can carry useful information. The question isn't whether you're allowed to feel it. The question is: What are you going to do with it? Laurie shares reflections on watching people she loves age, saying goodbye to a beloved family dog, and witnessing the strange, painful beauty of life's transitions. She also talks about learning to look for beauty during difficult circumstances and why regulating our emotions isn't the same thing as suppressing them. As Pluto prepares to move direct in Aquarius, we're entering a period when people may be increasingly unwilling to accept old hierarchies, abuses of power, and systems that depend on silence or passivity. The challenge this week is to use the pressure rather than letting it consume you. Create something. Advocate for something. Help someone. Rest when you need to rest. Feel what you need to feel. Then decide where you're going to put your attention next. Laurie also shares a preview of Living by Luna, her six-month guided process for observing your patterns, reactions, energy, and responses through daily lunar transits. You'll hear a sample from the introductory audio created for participants while they wait for their physical Living by Luna journal to arrive. 00:03 October is crunchy: what to expect this week02:18 Why spiritual passivity isn't the answer03:30 Living by Luna and learning to recognize your patterns08:34 Aging, family, grief, and saying goodbye22:34 Mercury square Mars: tension, communication and forced pivots25:34 Why we're still having the same conversations about power and abuse27:29 Pluto direct in Aquarius and power to the people28:49 Turning anger and angst into creativity31:17 Rage against the dying of the light33:45 Purpose, passion and showing up36:07 Spirituality doesn't require accepting another hit39:31 Love isn't passive40:11 What are you going to do with your anger?41:20 Ralph Report and Predictions44:46 Justice can't erase the past, but healing can build something new45:30 A preview of Living by Luna This isn't a week for pretending everything is fine. It's a week for recognizing what you feel without allowing those feelings to permanently take you out of the game. Sometimes you need to fall down. Sometimes you need to grieve. Sometimes you need to rage. And when one of us falls, the rest of us guard the flame until they can stand again. Every morning is another chance to reset.

October rewards adaptability, resourcefulness, and deliberate action.

Laurie starts with a weekend trip to see Practical Magic 2, reflections on aging parents, family, memory, and why Mars in Cancer has us craving coziness, familiarity, and connection. She also shares updates on Living by Luna, the new LaurieRivers.com website, and how she intentionally worked with a Mercury transit to solve a long-standing technical problem. Then it’s Q&A: Venus retrograde and cosmetic procedures, how to calculate a solar return, aspect patterns in natal charts, and where astrologers might begin looking when researching AI and emerging technology. In the Ralph Report, Laurie reviews last week’s predictions against actual headlines before looking ahead at the astrology and potential headlines for September 13–21. The episode closes with a deeper discussion of AI, data centers, stressed aquifers, climate concerns, and why local action matters. The message throughout: knowledge by itself isn’t power.

Join The Awake Space to stay informed, equipped and connected patreon.com/theawakespace Light Your Torch: The Power of Presence, Purpose & Deconstructing Astrology The world feels uncertain—but uncertainty doesn't have to become paralysis. This week, Laurie explores how to move beyond fear, reclaim your agency, and become solution-oriented during times of rapid change. Inspired by the legacy of Gloria Steinem, she examines why imagination is an act of courage, why presence is a form of resistance, and how astrology becomes far more powerful when used as a tool for observation rather than prediction. Laurie also shares a reading of her new essay, "Astrology Deconstructed," answers a listener's question about using astrology for career decisions, reviews recent prediction highlights in The Ralph Report, and closes with guidance for this week's Virgo New Moon.

Join The Awake Space Community at patreon.com/theawakespace This week on The Awake Space Astrology Podcast, Laurie Rivers looks ahead at September 2026, breaks down the fear surrounding claims that the U.S. power grid is about to collapse, and explains the difference between evidence-based forecasting and fear-driven divination. After an emotionally intense eclipse week, Laurie reflects on loss, legacy, and the inspiration she found in Dolly Parton’s decision to put people before profit. Laurie also introduces the upcoming 2027 Prepared planner and workbook, explains how the different Awake Space membership levels are evolving, and shares updates on Healing the Money Wound, coming May 6, 2027. Then it is time to separate fear from fact. Laurie explains why the U.S. does not operate on one single national electrical grid, how the Eastern, Western, and Texas interconnections function, and why localized blackouts do not automatically signal a nationwide collapse. Ralph returns with the latest accuracy report, including earthquake activity, flooding, power outages, transportation disruptions, nuclear-related headlines, labor actions, extreme weather, and other predictions from the previous week. Finally, Laurie moves into the September forecast with a look at political shakeups, storms, flooding, transportation disruptions, geopolitical tensions, financial uncertainty, seismic activity, food recalls, regulatory developments, and the changing energy of the first week of the month. The larger September theme is simple: anchor your authority internally. Strengthen self-trust, increase your tolerance for uncertainty, practice presence, and stop letting fear-based content make your decisions for you.

This week on The Awake Space Astrology Podcast, Laurie Rivers breaks down the intense astrology building toward the Pisces Full Moon and partial lunar eclipse, and why this energy does not have to be something we fear. The pressure has been building. Anxiety, anger, exhaustion, frustration, and uncertainty are running high. But this Full Moon also carries tremendous creative potential. The question is: What are you going to do with it? Laurie explains how to move out of overwhelm and into applied, sustainable action. Instead of scattering your energy through doom scrolling, outrage, or endless conversations about what is wrong, this is an opportunity to get organized, identify what you can influence, and make your next move.

In S7 Ep 41 your host Laurie Rivers is focused on preparing your for the Pisces Full Moon on August 28.

Join the Awake Space to explore how to use astrology in practical and liberating ways! This week on The Awake Space Astrology Podcast, Laurie tackles the Steven Forrest controversy and addresses the idea that Western Tropical Astrology is exclusionary or a rip off of Vedic. (Find source material links below) Laurie traces the fascinating development of astrology from ancient Mesopotamia through Greece, India, the Islamic world, medieval Europe, and into modern practice. She explains why Western Tropical and Vedic/Jyotish astrology are distinct traditions, how scholars exchanged knowledge across cultures, and why astrology has always evolved alongside our understanding of humanity. She also shares why she developed Progressive Evolutionary Astrology, an approach centered on the complexity of human experience rather than rigid binaries, limiting labels, or outdated interpretations. Plus, Awake Space Magazine Subscriber questions, this week’s Ralph Report, and a look at the August 12 Leo New Moon and solar eclipse.

August is a month that asks a different question than most of us are used to answering. Instead of asking what's happening out there, it asks: Who are you becoming in the middle of it? This week, Laurie explores the defining astrology of August 2026 and why the coming planetary shifts; from Venus entering Libra and Mars entering Cancer to the powerful Pisces Full Moon eclipse are less about reacting to the world's chaos and more about examining your own beliefs, motivations, and direction before taking action. Against a backdrop of political upheaval, economic uncertainty, extreme weather, and constant distraction, Laurie shares practical ways to stay grounded, reconnect with your values, and rediscover meaning without becoming consumed by the collective noise. Along the way, she pays tribute to legendary astrologer Joanne Wickenburg, whose scholarship and lifelong commitment to observation helped shape Laurie's own approach to astrology and reminds us why thoughtful study matters in an age of opinions and algorithms. Listener questions cover finding joy in uncertain times, the Uranus opposition and midlife reinvention, protecting your energy, grounding practices, and how astrology can become a practical framework for understanding yourself rather than simply predicting events. If the world feels louder than ever, this episode is an invitation to go within and challenge yourself to shifting your inner landscape to help shape a life experience worth diving into.

More importantly, she explores how this same energy can become a catalyst for personal liberation.
