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.

Learn, Grow and Explore in the Awake Space - CLICK TO JOIN This week on The Awake Space, Laurie Rivers looks at nostalgia, resilience, technology, AI, water resources, and the importance of knowing your next move during a period of massive systemic change. 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. Power comes from knowing what you can actually do next.
