Cosmic Ripples: New Moon in Virgo
Join The Awake Space to stay informed, equipped and connected patreon.com/theawakespaceLight Your Torch: The Power of Presence, Purpose & Deconstructing AstrologyThe 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.Show Links:2027 Prepared: Astrology Based Planner & Workbook Awake Space Magazine September 202600:00 Light your torch: Choosing hope over fear09:00 Reading Astrology Deconstructed43:30 Gloria Steinem's astrology and legacy50:08 Career timing: Can astrology help you choose your next move?57:07 The Ralph Report: Recent prediction highlights1:04:42 This week's global forecast1:17:06 Virgo New Moon intentions and practical guidanceWhy presence is your greatest source of personal powerGloria Steinem's lasting influence and what comes nextRethinking astrology through observation instead of determinismBreaking inherited beliefs and cultural conditioningHow to use astrology to make better decisionsForecast highlights for the week aheadVirgo New Moon journaling prompts and intention settingKnowledge isn't power unless you know your next step.In This Episode

Join The Awake Space Community at patreon.com/theawakespaceThis 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.

Cosmic Clash: Steven Forrest Controversy and a Solar Eclipse
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.Chapters00:00 — Welcome & What’s Ahead03:49 — The Steven Forrest Controversy13:15 — Moving Astrology Forward29:21 — The Real History of Western & Vedic Astrology47:02 — Mundane Astrology & the U.S. Chart51:10 — Your Astrology Questions Answered01:05:00 — The Ralph Report01:11:01 — August 12 Solar Eclipse & Leo New MoonAstrology has never existed in a vacuum.

Cosmic Ripples: Reinventing Yourself In The Chaos
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.Episode LINKSJuly Archives: Accuracy ReportAFA Joanne Wickenburg BooksConsultations with Laurie BOOK HERETime Stamps00:00 – Remembering Joanne Wickenburg and her legacy07:00 – The teacher who changed Laurie's career forever18:00 – August astrology: self-examination before reaction23:00 – Finding meaning and joy during uncertain times33:20 – Understanding the Uranus opposition and midlife reinvention37:25 – Astrology Q&A: city charts, eclipses and Saturn returns43:15 – Protecting your energy and grounding during collective chaos54:25 – Community updates, August classes, The Ralph Report and what Laurie is watching next
