<p>Learn, Grow and Explore in the Awake Space - <a href="patreon.com/theawakespace" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">CLICK TO JOIN</a></p><p>This week on <strong>The Awake Space</strong>, 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.</p><p>Laurie starts with a weekend trip to see <em>Practical Magic 2</em>, reflections on aging parents, family, memory, and why Mars in Cancer has us craving coziness, familiarity, and connection. She also shares updates on <strong>Living by Luna</strong>, the new LaurieRivers.com website, and how she intentionally worked with a Mercury transit to solve a long-standing technical problem.</p><p>Then it’s Q&amp;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.</p><p>In the <strong>Ralph Report</strong>, Laurie reviews last week’s predictions against actual headlines before looking ahead at the astrology and potential headlines for September 13–21.</p><p>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.</p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><p>Sign Up for Charts &amp; Channeling with Laurie and Medium Matilda - September 26, 2026 <a href="https://lriversastrologer.as.me/?appointmentType=91056539" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">GET YOUR TICKETS</a></p><p>Grab 2027 Prepared by Laurie Rivers <a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/laurie-rivers/2027-prepared/paperback/product-e7qvj54.html?page=1&pageSize=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">CHECK IT OUT</a></p><p><strong>TIMESTAMPS</strong></p><p>00:00 – Practical Magic 2, nostalgia &amp; community<br>03:13 – AI, technology, water &amp; environmental concerns<br>06:22 – 2027 Prepared + upcoming events<br>08:22 – Living by Luna guided experience<br>10:06 – Using Mercury transits to solve problems<br>11:15 – Aging, family, mortality &amp; making memories<br>16:05 – Preparing for winter and creating coziness<br>17:07 – Daily Insight coming to LaurieRivers.com<br>22:01 – Astrology Q&amp;A<br>22:23 – Venus retrograde &amp; cosmetic procedures<br>23:16 – Solar return charts<br>24:36 – Aspect patterns in natal charts<
