In this episode...In this episode...What if you don't have to try so hard? Tuesday brings a beautiful Venus trine to the North Node — the first of three connections between these two points as Venus moves into her upcoming retrograde cycle. Venus represents what we love, value, enjoy and naturally feel drawn towards, while the North Node points towards growth and the road ahead. With the two working easily together, something — or someone — that attracts us now could offer a clue about where life is taking us. And there's plenty supporting that message. The day begins with the Moon still carrying its trine to Neptune, heightening imagination, creativity and sensitivity, before connecting with Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter. Inspiration can arrive quickly, but we also have the opportunity to ground it, test it and allow it to become something real. Perhaps Tuesday isn't about pushing harder. Notice what is already working. Where is there ease? What are you enjoying? Who are you naturally drawn towards? Where does life seem to be opening rather than resisting you? This Venus–North Node story isn't finished: Venus returns to this trine twice during her retrograde journey later this year. So pay attention to what catches your attention now. 🌿 In today's 5 Minute Astrology lesson, we're finding transiting Venus in your birth chart and beginning to explore which area of your life Venus is currently moving through. https://youtu.be/g9A2s8wKPaw

I owe those of you who turned up for tonight’s 5MA Wrap-Up a big apology. ❤️ I was in Lisbon today meeting one of our Premium members, @Saskia Faelens in person, so I’d moved tonight’s Wrap-Up in my own diary. Unfortunately, I’ve just discovered that I didn’t successfully save the change in the Skool calendar — so as far as you were concerned, I was meant to be there. Four of you turned up and waited for me, and one of you very kindly messaged me (thanks @Cathy Hammond ). Unusually, I didn’t check Skool again until I was heading to bed, which is when I discovered what had happened. I am SO sorry. In more than eight years of running online sessions, I don’t think I’ve ever made a diary mistake quite like this one! I work solo, so unfortunately there wasn’t another pair of eyes to catch it when I didn’t. Please accept my apologies — particularly to those of you who set aside your Friday evening and turned up. I really do value your time. I’d love to make it up to you by holding our Wrap-Up on Sunday at 8pm instead. I’ll make absolutely sure THAT one is in the Skool calendar. 😁❤️ And I will answer as many questions as I can related to your charts and 5MA. And as for me today, when I met up with Saskia in Lisbon, we went on the cable car and I faced my fear of heights.........yikes! Louisa x

We're all pretty familiar with Mercury retrogrades, but how do we think Saturn retrograde will impact each of us? And if you were born with a Saturn retrograde, does that mean you feel it more?

One little update for you all... Since January, I've been recording my weekday astrology forecasts here in our community. They've become part of my own daily rhythm, and, in many ways, they've helped me find my voice. Recording them every day has given me the confidence to simply sit down, look at the sky, and share what I'm noticing. I've realised recently that I'd love more people to have access to them. So, from this week onwards, my daily forecasts will also be published on YouTube. Nothing is changing here on Skool. I'll still post each forecast, and this will remain the place where we can discuss them, ask questions, share observations and practise thinking astrologically together. In fact, I hope those conversations become even richer. I've been reflecting a lot recently on the difference between information and practice. Astrology isn't just something we learn—it's something we live. Anyone can read about planetary aspects, but learning to recognise them in life, to discuss them, question them and apply them... that's a very different experience. That's what I hope we continue to build here. So, whilst the forecasts are going out into the wider world, this community remains the place where we can slow down, explore together and learn to think astrologically. Thank you for being part of this journey. Honestly, many of these forecasts only exist because of the encouragement, conversations and support you've all given me over the past few months. I'm excited to see where this next chapter leads us. With that in mind - here's Monday's forecast AND also a look at the week ahead. https://youtu.be/vTprwJt6NQo Lots of love, Louisa xx

I chanced upon a woman who bought a 14-bedroom school house, and remodelled the whole house on her own, and also recreated the garden. She learned all the skills in classes, rebuilt all her windows and did all of her roofing, and redesigned using really natural ways. Just thought I'd share. There was something so healing in watching her work. And I'm sure this was a work for healing for her, too. She bought the house a few days after her mother passed away. Worth a watch if you like transformations, restoration, home design and inspiring people xxx
