This week, Laurie returns to an audio-only format and shares why simplifying The Awake Space is the right move—for both her and the community. She discusses the future of the Patreon community, the importance of protecting spaces built on trust, and why sustainable teaching matters more than chasing algorithms.
Laurie also dives into the growing trend of AI-generated astrology, explaining why real astrological interpretation cannot be replicated by large language models or automated reports. Finally, she revisits André Barbault's famous "basket" aspect pattern, separating internet mythology from actual mundane astrology and sharing what she believes this week's planetary patterns may bring.
