Light Your Torch: The Power of Presence, Purpose & Deconstructing Astrology

The 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.
