Mercury has moved beyond its Retrograde shadow, now in fresh territory with new info and new insights, as we proceed through the Wormhole (a cosmic passage between different realities) toward the Lunar Full SuperMoon Eclipse on Sept 17. Time feels elastic, with the pace accelerating and slowing alternately, and your nervous system may reflect that. 

This can be exhausting, with distorted energies that can undermine your well being if you aren’t centered, so it’s imperative to operate from a high perspective (an emotionally detached witness) while practicing impeccable Self-care. Grounding in nature and using conscious breathing (even for a minute) will help to bring you back to the present moment where All Is Well. 

Sept 15 – Venus trine Jupiter. This is joyful, expansive, optimistic energy that promotes connections, togetherness, blessings and abundance. You may enhance your Self-image with beauty treatments, style upgrades and it’s good for Venusian purchases (jewelry, clothing, art, home decor), investing and manifesting. On a higher level, open your heart to see the beauty and possibilities around and within you through loving and supportive eyes. 

Sept 17 – The Lunar Full SuperMoon Eclipse in Pisces @ 7:34pm PDT. A Lunar Eclipse is a Full Moon, when what’s hidden comes to light and this SuperMoon is extra close to the earth with a greater impact. You may experience a completion, a release or the culmination of a story. Lunar Eclipses are turning points that are often felt internally (the Moon = needs, feelings) – and in sensitive, mystical Pisces, this is a deeply emotional Lunar Eclipse (perfect for a healing session, meditation, prayer, journaling, massage, writing what you’re ready to let go of and burning the paper). 

The Lunar Eclipse is on the Pisces/Virgo axis, both signs of service, but practical Virgo is busy doing, whereas nonlinear Pisces is about presence, compassion and empathy. The Eclipse can bring things into or take them out and they have a fated, unpredictable quality. On the day of the Eclipse, you’re “in the dark,” so don’t try to figure things out or draw immediate conclusions. Allow the dust to settle before making decisions or taking actions, be flexible and know that you may not experience anything personally, you may just watch the world stage for any dramatic events. 

The Lunar Eclipse squares Jupiter – and is conjunct the North Node of Destiny in Aries, indicating a stretch to step forward, to have an adventure or follow a vision. If you ever feared judgment by others for being too big, too visible, too sensitive, outspoken, crazy or radical, the antidote is to stand in your Authority and declare: “This is who I Am.” 

North Node in Aries says: “I Am who I Am.” You don’t have to find yourself – you need the courage to BE Your Self. 

The Lunar Eclipse is also conjunct Neptune, boosting the multi-dimensional energy of intuition, Oneness and Divine Love, lifting veils of illusion to reveal truths – or creating deceptive illusions to conceal truths (higher expression-lower expression). You may be ready to revise your dreams to match your Evolving Self and life – and/or release a dream that isn’t relevant anymore. This is a Self-check in.

This Lunar Eclipse is sextile to Uranus and Pluto, which indicates that you can tap into the strength to make needed changes in your life. The overall energy is in service to revolutionary transformation at best – for you personally or to contribute to the community/world. Where or how can you take an innovative approach to be more Authentic and step into your power? 

Watch for sudden changes, weather events, endings, upheaval, power plays or manipulations that true believers commit to for a cause. (P.S. Everybody thinks they’re right :)). Give yourself space on Sept 16/17, as emotional and psychic energy will be high approaching and on the day of the Eclipse, which can lead to overwhelm. Compassion for all is the keyword for a smooth passage and easy does it…

Sept 18 – Mercury opposes Saturn. This is exact on the 18th, but you may feel it on the Eclipse. Mercury-Saturn brings you down to earth with practical decisions, details, paperwork, contracts and serious conversations. Get the details in order (Mercury in Virgo), if you experience delays, opposition or an authority blocking you, get more info. Get rid of fluff and focus on projects that matter as you are in reality following the dreamy Pisces energy, with the Moon entering Aries just after Saturn-Mercury, clear and ready for action! 

Sept 19 – Sun trine Uranus. This reinforces being your unique Self and enjoying it! Doing something different to express your individuality is aligned, changing your routine, look, environment or methods – maybe new technology or taking a risk to go beyond your comfort zone in some way. If you get a surprise, it should be good, as long as you are open and flexible. Rigidity is stuck energy and that’s a Uranus invitation for a wake up call!

Sept 20 – Sun opposite Neptune. This is dreamy, low key day as your energy is being called within (Neptune). Spiritual practices, creative pursuits, nature or leisure are all perfect for this soft, sensitive nonlinear energy. Follow your Inner Guidance to feel how best to honor yourself. Skip the bookkeeping, detailed work today, if possible – hold puppies, kittens, babies and connect with your spirit. 

Mars is still in sensitive Cancer from Sept 4 – Nov 3, as the planet of action is motivated by feelings and intuition. It has to feel safe and be in the mood to take action before it will engage. The North Node of Destiny in Aries is ruled by Mars, so learning to honor and align with your feelings will help you further your purpose and direction at this time. 

Mars in Cancer is protective of family and loved ones, attuned to needs and feelings. Seize the moment when you feel upbeat and energetic to handle business and your To Do list – and give yourself space to chill or be nurtured when needed as well.

This week is part of a larger turning point and we’ll just have to see what happens. Remember, sudden events and surprises can occur that clear obstacles from your life or manifest breakthroughs. If a fated event occurs that’s a game-changer, your job is to remain flexible as you watch to see how things unfold with an open mind, expecting the best and showing up as needed. You can do it. 

You chose this exciting time to be here, as we turn a corner and move through the final Lunar Eclipse with Pluto in Capricorn. Things are changing – not just this week, but this year. Can you feel it?! We are on the move! 

“Anxiety is excitement holding its breath.” ~ Diane Berke (paraphrasing Fritz Perls, MD)

Laziness kills ambition

Anger kills wisdom

Fear kills dreams

Ego kills growth

Jealousy kills peace

Doubt kills confidence.

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Current Astro Events – Sept 6, 2024

We are in the Eclipse Wormhole (a cosmic passage between realities), from the New Moon in Virgo on Sept 2 until the New Moon in Scorpio on Nov 1. In the Wormhole, dramatic events and surprises can occur that clear obstacles from your life or manifest breakthroughs. If a fated event appears that is a game-changer, your job is to remain centered and flexible, watching to see how things unfold with a philosophical outlook. 

Mars moved into sensitive Cancer on Sept 4 where the planet of action moves in accordance with its feelings and intuition; it has to feel safe and be in the mood to take action before it will engage fully. The North Node of Destiny in Aries is ruled by Mars, so learning to honor and align with your feelings will help you further your purpose and direction in the world at this time. 

Mars in Cancer is protective of family and loved ones, attuned to needs and feelings. Seize the moment when you feel upbeat and energetic to handle business and your To Do list – and give yourself space to chill or be nurtured when needed as well.

Sept 7 – Mercury squares Uranus for the third time, due to Mercury’s Retrograde in August. It began on July 21, then returned on Aug 18 and today is the resolution. Mercury has been active all week, accelerating its pace with an abundance of activities, messages, events and people vying for your attention. 

Mercury square Uranus can manifest as shocking words or info, a sudden change, breakthrough, rebellion or disruption. It can be tech issues. You may feel wired or ADD, have an innovative insight that’s a stroke of genius or make an impulsive turn to pursue a new path. If life speeds up, create space to modulate your nervous system and stay grounded/present in your body. Changes may be easier to make than you expect with this aspect.

Sept 8 – Sun opposite Saturn. This is a reality check in which you may have to make decisions about what is practical, doable and aligned with your goals. You may have to decide where to put your energy, eliminating less important activities. If you encounter an obstacle, delay or feel pressured, don’t be discouraged, rather, practice patience, set boundaries and focus on the long-term goal involved. The effort should be worth it if you’re on the right track or maybe this isn’t the day to pursue your goal.

Also on Sept 8, Mercury is the apex of a Yod with Pluto and Neptune, meaning there’s some info, event, communication or situation that creates confusion, a smokescreen, issues with power or something hidden and it’s hard to find a satisfying solution. You just can’t quite connect the dots and it leaves you feeling like you have a pebble in your shoe. Go up a level for a higher perspective and don’t buy into 3D drama. If you can’t find clarity, don’t push or try to force it. Stay high, watch and wait. 

Sept 9 – Mercury in Virgo. Mercury moved into Virgo on July 25, then Retrograded back into Leo on Aug 14. Now is back at home again in Virgo, where it can focus on organizing, sorting, details, systems, your health and well being (diet, exercise, alternative care) and clearing anything extraneous. Virgo brings you down to earth, it’s practical and analytical, discerning, “What is useful, what is not?” Clear the clutter and create space for good orderly direction to support you going forward.

Sept 11 – Mercury sextile Mars. Great for problem solving or assessing situations and deciding on a course of action as detail-oriented, x-ray vision Mercury in Virgo is in harmony with protective, caring Mars in Cancer. This is a great combo of mental focus and intuitive movement to create a balanced approach to upleveling your life. If you need to speak up about something, be mindful of Virgo’s critical nature and deliver your message compassionately. 

Sept 12 – Sun square Jupiter. Here’s the big picture, “yes we can” aspect! This is

positive energy, hot to trot and ready to take a leap based on inspiration, possibilities and high ideals. Because it’s a square, there are no brakes built in – you will have to moderate your actions b/c Jupiter doesn’t have them and sees no downside, only victory, success and a positive outcome. 

Sun square Jupiter wants to say “yes” to everything attractive or interesting, but with the square there’s a danger of over-promising and spreading yourself to thin. Jupiter is generous and full of enthusiasm, so monitor your output and your yeses. You may come up with bright ideas (great for visioning), connect with people who expand your world and override old fears to step forward, and in this way it can be very useful. 

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is on Sept 17 @ 9:53pm PDT and in the wormhole, anything can happen. Hold space and keep a high vision, no matter what. Some people are triggered when they get what they want as their unconscious doesn’t align with them receiving the gift. Just keep watching and learning. 

This is a great week to focus on Virgo activities – organizing, clearing, raising your game re: anything pertaining to health and wellness. There is so much support for anything you need help with. Allow yourself to receive what you need to blossom, like fertilizing a plant so it can grow healthy and strong. 

I wish you a magical experience of sorting, releasing, expanding and creating. Enjoy your experience, even when it’s challenging. We are on the move and life is about to change!

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Current Astro Events – Aug 30, 2024

We enter Sept with powerful activations and you may feel destabilized, wired or even energized by the swirl of dynamic realignments occurring around or within you. The more grounded, centered and flexible you are (non-reactive), the less external events and energies can control you – your mind, your nervous system and ultimately, your decisions.

Current events may be dramatic, but your choices and daily practices will inform your well being. Please remember where your true power lies – in consciously choosing your thoughts and deciding what you allow into your space.

Stay in the present moment, avoid drama (over-reacting, awfulizing, fear-based projections and victimhood) and hold a vision of what you want to create or experience. We’re all in this together, but your outlook will largely determine your experience, regardless of circumstances.

Sept 1 – Uranus and Pluto both make changes, generating extra impact as their influence is amplified by a Station Retrograde and a sign change. Stay high and trust any exits, endings, losses or completions as being in Divine Order. You don’t know the big picture, so don’t judge what you experience as being wrong. You might plan loosely for the three-day weekend, as the energies of Uranus and Pluto will be reverberating loudly from the heavens.

Uranus Retrograde Sept 1 – Jan 30, 2025. The Great Awakener stops to turn and review territory from 27o to 23o Taurus, which can bring unexpected shocks, disruptions, unexpected reversals, rebellion and revelations that shake up the collective and you personally – and it can also create sudden opportunities, realizations and events that open doors and allow for quantum leaps forward. During Uranus Retrograde, it’s a time to adjust to changes that have occurred or make needed changes in your life.

The guidance is to operate mindfully, be flexible (bamboo) and know that Uranus only takes what you have outgrown, liberating you from a stale mindset, structure or setup that is inhibiting your growth. If you encounter an unexpected event, allow the dust to settle before taking action and be extra gentle with your yourself and your nervous system, employing soothing practices and modalities to counteract the electric energy. Be open to the new, even if you can’t see its benefit yet…

Pluto Retrogrades into Capricorn Sept 1 – Nov 19, ’24. The planet of power and transformation backs into conservative Capricorn at 29o for the final time (after 16 years), where it will stay until Nov 19 when it returns to Aquarius. It’s here for a final review and cleanup of hierarchies, old structures and systems that are no longer viable. For you personally, it will have one last look around (if you’ve been dealing with Pluto for the past few years) to handle any unfinished business.

Sept 2 – New Moon in Virgo @ 6:56pm PDT. The New Moon is the time for new beginnings – to set your intention and take an action directed toward what you want to increase, create or develop in your life. Virgo is a mutable earth sign, open to change for improvement, ruling health, wellness, productivity, being of service and discernment. It is an analytical sign of “doing” that loves details, spreadsheets, rituals, lists – always deciding what’s useful and what’s not. It’s drivers are purity, integrity and order.

Here are a few Virgo inquiries for the New Moon. • What have you been avoiding that needs doing?

• Do you need to clear anything from your life – clutter, behaviors, habits or people who don’t support you?

• Are you treating your physical and emotional Self well?

• What actions can you take to nurture your health and wellness (diet, exercise, alternative care)?

• What have you been putting off that it’s time to begin?

Saturn opposes the New Moon in Virgo, asking for a reality check regarding your future visions, if they are sustainable and how they will support you long-term. This is a perfect time to make an outline, do research, bring ideas into form (write them down) and then take actions that will help to make your intentions real.

Jupiter squares the Virgo Sun-Moon and Saturn, creating stress, as its desire to stretch and take a leap with a big picture vision is met with resistance from the cautious, conservative planners. The only grounded way through is by taking methodical actions, after you have a plan. Step by step…

The New Moon in Virgo is ruled by Mercury in Leo that makes a harmonious trine to Chiron in Aries, offering compassionate understanding and healing words to soothe any tender areas calling for attention, so reach out for any needed support, mentally, physically or spiritually.

Also, the New Moon in Virgo opens the Eclipse Wormhole (a short distance between two vastly different realities) that runs through the New Moon in Scorpio on Oct 22. We have a Lunar Eclipse on Sept 18 at 25o Pisces, speaking to endings, completions and things coming to light. More to come in next week’s newsletter.

Sept 3 – Mars square Neptune. This is Wu Wei energy, the law of least resistance, flowing around obstacles and moving intuitively. Great for artists, healers, spiritual practices, selfless service, leisure and creative projects. Use it well.

Sept 4 – Mars in Cancer through Nov 5. Mars (warrior, maverick, pioneer) in emotional Cancer doesn’t approach directly – it moves sideways (like a crab), and your mood may affect your willingness to take action. This Mars can be touchy and easily upset, so watch how your feelings drive what you will and won’t do. This is not the “Just do it!” Mars, you have to be nice to motivate this Mars. Again, Self-care is primary to get the best from yourself and compassion for others who are also experiencing this will be helpful to all. Kindness will go a long way.

This is a major week of endings and beginnings, discarding the outdated and reorganizing to create fresh perspectives and methodologies. Align with your Evolving Self and make your New Moon Intentions by focusing on what you want to call in or create. I urge you to get excited about your life, the possibilities that are available – and the ones you don’t even know about yet!

P.S. I used to type up my monthly intentions after I wrote them (back in the day), and when I look at them now, I get a kick out of seeing what I was envisioning and desiring, knowing how life played out. Writing things down, journaling or list-making is wondrous for later reference.

I wish you a magical experience of sorting, releasing, intention-setting and creating. Enjoy your experience, even when it’s challenging. We are on the move and life is about to change!

“Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.” ~ Colin Powell

“A dead end is just a good place to turn around.” ~ Naomi Judd

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Current Astro Events – August 23, 2024

Lisa E ZimmermanCosmic Consciousness Weekly

Written by Lisa E Zimmerman

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aug 23 – In the final week of August and Mercury Retrograde with the Sun in orderly Virgo, you may want to reassess, reorganize and release anything that’s not aligned with your Evolving Self and next steps as Mercury slows down to turn Direct.

Mercury and Venus will be active this week highlighting info, your perspective, communications and relationships and on Sept 1, Uranus and Pluto will take center stage and anything can happen…

Mercury trine Chiron – Healing words and insights can arise from reframing a painful circumstance or interaction, seeing through the eyes of personal responsibility and compassion rather than judgment.

Aug 24 – Mercury sextile Mars provides the drive to solve problems, confidence to speak up, to have a conversation that can impact your future or the mental focus to handle a detailed task. This is high energy, available for use in constructive ways (watch your words and verbal delivery, as you may be overly direct).

Mars trine Chiron – This indicates compassionate or healing actions, doing something to make a difference or righting a wrong (by you or others).

Aug 27 – Venus trine Uranus can create greater freedom, excitement and renewal in relationships by shaking up old routines and exploring innovative activities or environments. This can address your style, $$, creativity and your authenticity by inviting you to stretch beyond your comfort zone (rut?) and do, be, try something out of the usual that resonates with You! (P.S. Mercury Retrograde is still active, so no tattoos or anything permanent that you can’t undo if you have a new perspective later).

Aug 28 – Mercury Stations Direct and as it prepares to turn and pick up steam, it’s common for info to be missing, unavailable or delayed, so bring your patience. It will take almost a week to get up to speed and we’ll have major new energies coming in at the same time, so pay attention to details and double check important info.

Mercury backed into Leo on Aug 14, asking you to connect with your inner truth and express your Authentic Self – and it will remain in Leo until Sept 10 when it re-enters Virgo. As you look ahead, be sure that you are making decisions that honor your Evolving Self, rather than operating from a past identity or on auto-pilot.

Also on Aug 28 – Venus opposite Neptune (earthly love vs. Divine Love) is a nonlinear energy, which is beautiful for creative, spiritual and leisure activities, if you choose to do anything at all. Quiet time and spaciousness creates receptive energy. The effects of this aspect can range from compassion, heightened intuition and focus on your dreams, to disillusionment, confusion and escapism.

This is a setup for idealizing a person, place or thing and not seeing reality clearly, especially with the Mercury Station to add to the confusion. Spiritual practices andcreative environments (as a creator or the audience) will serve you well today, as will rest, space and loving Self-care. Don’t make major decisions today, if possible. Wait.

Aug 29 – Sept 22 – Venus in Libra can express easily in her home sign, where she has a deep desire for peace, harmony, beauty, relationships, alliances and balance. Relationships mirror your Self back to you, showing you what you are putting out in the world. Think about who would be good to connect with and be open to relationships that serve the needs of both (or all) involved. Expect the best and stay tuned to your Inner Guidance for connections with those who align with your path and purpose.

Aug 29 – Venus trine Pluto. With Venus at 0o Libra and Pluto at 0o Aquarius, it speaks to deep, magnetic connections that will carry you forward in the months and years ahead. You may already be in relationship with someone instrumental to your future or you may meet/connect with someone who becomes a power player in your life, a co-creator or a partner. This is a beginning or a deepening if you have shared ideas, values and integrity as time goes on.

Venus trine Pluto can also indicate opportunities for financial growth or creative breakthroughs, although I would investigate further before investing $$ or making a deal the day after a Mercury Station. Make the connection and follow up in the coming weeks.

Sept 1 – There are huge energies taking place today, as one outer planet changes direction and the other changes its sign. On the same day! I would plan loosely for this day – maybe even the weekend, as the energies of Uranus and Pluto will be reverberating loudly from the heavens.

Sept 1 – Jan 30, ’25 – Uranus Stations Retrograde. Uranus has been at 27o Taurus since Aug 8 and will be there until Sept 27, so if you’re feeling Uranian waves of change, you’ll be feeling them for a while. On the Uranus Station, look for dramatic changes to occur in the world. Shocking, unexpected reversals, abrupt endings, global events, weather events – all are possible. If there’s a sudden change in your life, try to be bamboo and be flexible rather than resisting what you face.

Uranus is The Great Awakener, here to break up stale energies, stagnant and outdated structures, and it will often do for you what you won’t do for yourself by removing or changing circumstances. Because Uranus is often shocking, the guidance is to allow the dust to settle so you can assess where you are before taking action – and remember, All is in Divine Order.

Sept 1 – Nov 19. Pluto backs into Capricorn for its final journey through the sign of top- down authority, government, corporations, institutions, hierarchies and the Old Guard, which ends on Nov 19. We’re going back for a reality check to confront the remaining shadows within structures and systems before Pluto moves into Aquarius to create a more innovative, sustainable future.

We’ll have a New Moon in Virgo on Sept 2 – more on that next week, but as you can see, we’ll be starting off September with a bang! Get organized, take needed actions and focus on relationships that can enhance and enrich your life (and vice versa).

Trust that you are in the right place at the right time, moving along your path perfectly (no matter what your ego may say :))

Remember, your soul chose to be here now, to be part of the transition team – and your presence matters.

“Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.” ~ Rumi

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
