Click for Article Astrology Consults with Laurie & the astrologers CLICK TO BOOK The 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 Rather than reinforcing old limitations, this Full Moon invites you to break through outdated beliefs, reclaim your agency, and use disruption as an opportunity for transformation.

Recorded while walking through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park in London, Laurie shares reflections from one of the world's most beautiful parks before sitting down beneath a tree to break down the upcoming Capricorn Full Moon, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, and the astrological themes shaping July 2026. This episode is about building on solid foundations rather than chasing perfection. If something isn't working, it doesn't automatically mean you've failed. It may simply need to be restructured. Laurie also shares her broader outlook for July, including global trends, practical preparation, and why staying grounded in your own life matters more than getting swept away by headlines.

Mercury Retrograde, London Walks & Astrology Through History In 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 practice Mercury 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 Church 02:00 Personal reflections on travel, family, and change 05:00 Awake Space updates and upcoming events 07:30 Why Mercury retrograde isn't the real problem 10:20 Walking through Chelsea toward the V&A Museum 14:25 How to navigate Mercury retrograde successfully 22:50 Ancient astrology, Sumeria, and historical roots 27:00 Entering the Victoria & Albert Museum 30:00 Medieval manuscripts, scribes, and astrology's history 40:00 Navigation instruments, astronomy, and astrology 44:00 Evolution versus tradition in astrological practice 48:00 Renaissance art and changing philosophies 53:00 Industrialization, technology, and cultural shifts 58:00 The Industrial Revolution and lessons for today 01:03:00 Timekeeping, clocks, and changing worldviews 01:07:00 Mercury, mythology, and astrological symbolism 01:09:00 Why discernment matters in astrology 01:11:00 Final reflections and closing thoughts The 2027 Year Ahead Presentation (rescheduled to July 11) The Awake Space Community Victoria & Albert Museum St. Luke's Church, Chelsea William Lilly Galileo Galilei Copernicus Carl Jung Roberto Assagioli Benjamin Dykes In This EpisodeKey TakeawaysMercury Retrograde Is Not the VillainLife Happens in CyclesAstrology Is a Living TraditionHistory Shapes InterpretationAdaptation Is a Human SkillTimestampsMentioned in This Episode

As Laurie prepares to record the audiobook for Healing the Money Wound: The Framework for Rebuilding Confidence, Value and Wealth , she reflects on confidence, self-worth, and the importance of recognizing your own value rather than waiting for the world to assign it to you. Laurie shares why hope matters, why fear-based media profits from your attention, and how this week's astrology invites you to focus on comfort, security, and appreciation rather than scarcity and anxiety. Then Laurie is joined by Amy Philbin, astrologer, business mentor, and former TikTok creator who traded hustle culture for a purpose-built life in Crete, Greece.
