Show Notes
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.

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.
