In S7 Ep 13 master astrologer and systems thinker, Laurie Rivers gives you the run down for the interesting astrology of the week. Monday is a Mondayist Monday with the Moon in Taurus making a square to Mars in Aquarius, then making a conjunction with Uranus in Taurus - and Laurie breaks down what they can look like in the outer world.

She runs you through the difference between mundane and personal energy and how the energy plays out. As well as answering a listener's husband's question about receptivity to transit energy (spoiler: the answer is no). Bouncing off the question she discusses how to best use the Mercury Retrograde energy to your best advantage.

Laurie winds up the episode discussing how to use the breakthrough energy of Mars square Uranus as we wind out the week. It's all about pushing past the obvious blocks to crafting our security.

This week we explore how to move out of analysis paralysis and into aligned action using the current astrology.

With Mercury and Venus in Pisces, clarity does not come from forcing answers. It comes from sensing the signal beneath the noise. Many people right now are not stuck because they lack effort, but because the internal signal is fogged. When the signal clears, decision capacity returns and life begins to reorganize.

We then look ahead to Saturn in Aries, moving toward its conjunction with Neptune, and what this shift demands: grounded action, clean intention, and movement that comes from alignment rather than pressure. Laurie gives you examples of how to use the energy effectively depending on where the transit falls outside of your natal chart (activating a house) - For deeper info on Saturn in Aries check out this presentation Laurie did for members of the Awake Space in 2025 https://www.patreon.com/posts/saturn-in-aries-129405527

In this episode:
• Why overthinking happens when the internal signal is unstable
• How Pisces restores clarity without forcing decisions
• The role of Saturn in rebuilding decision strength
• How to move from fog → clarity → aligned action

Laurie ends the podcast with an exercise designed to help you create an internal safe space from which you can take the logical next step.

If you have been feeling stuck, uncertain, or unable to move forward, this episode will help you understand how clarity returns and how aligned movement begins.

The week and month kicked off with the Full Moon in Leo and gets more interesting as it moves along with Uranus starting it's station direct on the 3rd and is direct on the 5th, we'll be having Saturn buzzing through the final degrees of Pisces before it makes Aries it's home for the next 2 years.

One of my favorite things about The Awake Space Community is the heart centered community. Patron Stephanie P. posted screenshots from a FB message from the owner of Prelude Breakfast Bar in NW Arkansas. I was so moved by the message I wanted to share it with you because it so eloquently expresses so much of what I try to teach here. I think you'll be moved, too. We forget the power of we (aquarius) and that none of us are free (aquarius) if only some of us are free (aquarius). E Pluribus Unim

I go over how to deal with all of the big energy this month and let me tell you it is very overstimulating energy. You're not alone. Grounding isn't so easy this month, coming to center as often as possible is necessary. Community members be sure to use the meditations to reduce stress and over thinking in the Awake Space! https://www.patreon.com/collection/1317185

I end the podcast talking about what Saturn in Aries is offering up once it comes flying into Aries. It does kick off a time of accountability, but not just for a select few evil doers, everyone needs to hold themselves accountable. Accountability, like karma isn't all bad and I walk you through how to move through the Saturn in Aries period using the energy to your advantage. The show closes out talking about Uranus making it's station this week and what will and won't work.

The world feels unstable right now. This episode is about what actually helps.

In this week’s episode of The Awake Space, Laurie Rivers explains why this is a systems moment, not a prediction moment. Astrology isn’t about fear or fate. It’s about pattern recognition and building personal structure that holds up during uncertainty.

With heavy Capricorn energy in play, this is the time to focus on scaffolding, skills, and sustainable systems. Not hustle. Not shortcuts. Real stability.

This episode is a reminder that security is built, not given — and you can start right where you are.
