Show Links: Awake Space Community on PatreonTrue or Mean Node? Click for ArticleAstrology Consults with Laurie & the astrologers CLICK TO BOOKThe Aquarius Full Moon is one of the most powerful lunations of the year. With Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus, Mars, and Venus all creating intense planetary dynamics, Laurie explains why this is not an ordinary Full Moon and why the days surrounding it could bring historic events, geopolitical escalations, disruptive weather, technology shocks, and major leadership developments.More importantly, she explores how this same energy can become a catalyst for personal liberation. Rather than reinforcing old limitations, this Full Moon invites you to break through outdated beliefs, reclaim your agency, and use disruption as an opportunity for transformation.Chapters00:00 Introduction and overview of the episode01:24 The cosmic rift: Full moon conjunct Pluto and opposition to Jupiter02:20 How to navigate the energy of the full moon and upcoming astrological events05:14 Predictions for August 2026: Environmental, political, and social insights09:47 The importance of directing your narrative and beliefs11:02 Managing systemic change: Strengths, community, and discernment16:53 The significance of local action and self-sufficiency22:42 Predictions for wildfires, environmental issues, and political shifts28:50 Using astrology for personal empowerment and systemic liberation37:35 The shadow concept in astrology and shadow work40:48 Collective and personal impacts of lunar transits56:35 The full moon in Aquarius: planetary aspects and global impacts01:02:01 Potential leadership changes and global upheavals01:12:45 Practical advice for navigating the energetic chaos01:15:12 Community, self-care, and grounding practices01:17:05 Upcoming projects, courses, and community support

S7 Ep 37 - I clutch my pearls after ending up on the wrong side of TikTokThis week I'm back in the studio after the 2027 Predictions & Preparation event, and one thing became crystal clear: 2027 doesn't feel like the explosive years we've been through. It feels like a year of revelations, consequences, and long-running stories reaching completion. We also explore Mercury Retrograde in Cancer and why this isn't about getting trapped in the past. It's an invitation to notice what has become stable, what still needs attention, and the stories we keep telling ourselves.

Mercury Retrograde, London Walks & Astrology Through HistoryIn this special episode of The Awake Space, Laurie records her final podcast from London while walking through Chelsea and visiting the iconic Victoria and Albert Museum. Rather than a traditional studio episode, this is a reflective conversation about Mercury retrograde, navigating life's unexpected twists, and understanding astrology through the lens of history, culture, and philosophy. Along the way, Laurie shares personal updates, observations from her trip, and a fascinating exploration of how astrology evolved alongside science, art, religion, and society. Why Mercury retrograde is often misunderstoodNavigating disruptions, delays, and changing plansPersonal reflections from Laurie's time in LondonFamily concerns and embracing life's unfolding cyclesUpdates on upcoming Awake Space events and programsA walking tour through Chelsea and the Victoria & Albert MuseumThe connection between astrology, astronomy, and navigationHow astrology evolved from ancient civilizations through the RenaissanceThe role of philosophy, science, religion, and culture in shaping astrological practiceMercury retrograde often gets blamed for everything that goes wrong, but Laurie argues that its real function is redirection, revision, and review. The frustrations and delays are invitations to adjust course rather than reasons to panic. Sometimes Plan B turns out to be better than Plan A. Whether dealing with travel disruptions, family concerns, or changing circumstances, Laurie reflects on viewing life through the lens of cycles rather than labeling experiences as good or bad. The challenge is not avoiding obstacles but learning how to meet them. Astrology is not frozen in ancient times. Laurie explores how modern astrology developed through centuries of observation, mathematics, philosophy, and cultural exchange, particularly through the contributions of scholars in the Islamic world, Renaissance Europe, and later scientific thinkers. The way astrology is practiced today reflects the eras that came before us. Just as art, science, religion, and politics evolved, astrology evolved alongside them. Understanding that history provides important context for interpreting astrology in the modern world. From the Industrial Revolution to artificial intelligence, societies face recurring challenges around technological change. Laurie draws parallels between historical transitions and today's rapidly changing world, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and discernment. 00:00 Welcome from London and St. Luke's Church02:00 Personal reflections on travel, family, and change05:00 Awake Space updates and upcoming events07:30 Why Mercury retrograde isn't the real problem10:20 Walking through Chelsea toward the V&A Museum14:25 How to navigate Mercury retrograde successfully22:50 Ancient astrology, Sumeria, and historical roots27:00 Entering the Victoria & Albert Museum30:00 Medieval manuscripts, scribes, and astrology's history40:00 Navigation instruments, astronomy, and astrology44:00 Evolution versus tradition in astrological practice48:00 Renaissance art and changing philosophies53:00 Industrialization, technology, and cultural shifts58:00 The Industrial Revolution and lessons for today01:03:00 Timekeeping, clocks, and changing worldviews01:07:00 Mercury, mythology, and astrological symbolism01:09:00 Why discernment matters in astrology01:11:00 Final reflections and closing thoughtsThe 2027 Year Ahead Presentation (rescheduled to July 11)The Awake Space CommunityVictoria & Albert MuseumSt. Luke's Church, ChelseaWilliam LillyGalileo GalileiCopernicusCarl JungRoberto AssagioliBenjamin DykesIn This EpisodeKey TakeawaysMercury Retrograde Is Not the VillainLife Happens in CyclesAstrology Is a Living TraditionHistory Shapes InterpretationAdaptation Is a Human SkillTimestampsMentioned in This Episode
