The world feels unstable right now. This episode is about what actually helps.
In this week’s episode of The Awake Space, Laurie Rivers explains why this is a systems moment, not a prediction moment. Astrology isn’t about fear or fate. It’s about pattern recognition and building personal structure that holds up during uncertainty.
With heavy Capricorn energy in play, this is the time to focus on scaffolding, skills, and sustainable systems. Not hustle. Not shortcuts. Real stability.
This episode is a reminder that security is built, not given — and you can start right where you are.

No, it's not going to be peace, love and light in the outer world, and Laurie guides you through understanding what it takes to create that from within and that's our focus here at the Awake Space in 2026.
The Astrologers' Roundtable has the astrologers from Laurie's website wokeastrology.com discussing a patron question "What was the hardest part of learning astrology?"
