The Sun enters its home sign of dramatic Leo on July 22, as we move into the energy of Fixed Fire and the heat is on all over the world (literally). Attune to your heart, your inspired Self – tap into the “You” that was uninhibited and bold before you were taught to settle or hide. Come out and play, express yourself, lead, create, speak up, perform, enjoy and be in joy!

 

Take charge of your universe, even if it means withdrawing from what others want or think you should do. Know what is yours to do, whether it’s on stage or behind the scenes, but be honest with yourself and have the courage to release the past in order to move forward. Leo didn’t come to take orders from others – they came to lead.

 

The highest expression of Leo is to be the Light for those who can’t find their own and to empower them or lift them up, so let your Light shine!

 

During the next five days, Mercury makes various aspects, gathering info and making connections that should be helpful, expansive, revealing, enlightening and even healing. On July 23, Mercury trines Jupiter, a portal for good news, smart plans, bright ideas and positive contacts. Reach out, ask, connect.

 

On July 26 Mercury in Leo squares Mars in Taurus – two stubborn fixed signs. Arguments, verbal attacks and stalemates are possible, so if you’ve been holding a resentment, you may blow your top today (or want to). Don’t push. Choose wisely who you engage with and watch what you say.

 

On July 27 Mercury trines Chiron, offering the potential for a healing conversation or resolution for any discord that has your mind trapped in drama. Use this powerful gift to free yourself from a mental prison of negativity or pain and align with your compassionate Self. Release guilt, shift your viewpoint, make amends – whatever is needed. You may be the healer for another or the receiver of a healing and however it unfolds, it’s all good.

 

The New Moon at 5º Leo is on July 28 @ 10:55am PDT, time for new beginnings – and trine Jupiter, it asks you to expand your horizons and stretch beyond old familiar ideas of yourself and your life. Because Jupiter Stations Retrograde today thru Nov 23, you’ll be doing inner work in order to grow and develop aspects of your consciousness to align with your future Self.

 

Focus on your vision for yourself going forward and adjust your expectations, knowing that they will likely manifest in late 2022/early 2023 with Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto all Retrograde, with Mars to follow in late Oct. Your task is to make it a joyful, meaningful journey (Jupiter), as you go through your process of exploring, assimilating and becoming the next creative expression of your evolving Self (Leo).

 

Mercury square Uranus in this New Moon setup indicates a rapid tempo, mental stress, confusing info – or inappropriate words due to misunderstanding. Slow down, manage your nervous system by earthing and grounding. Valuable info/insights/downloads may be accessible if you center yourself and create a container for the electric energy to drop into.

 

Embodying the Light and confidence of Leo will be helpful this week as the Uranus- North Node conjunction begins to join with Mars, which will be exact on Aug 1. We will be feeling the energy of the Mars/Uranus/N.Node triple conjunction all week, beginning on July 25, that creates unstable, edgy undercurrents that can trigger those who are fragile, feel powerless or aren’t grounded.

 

If ever there was a time to stay high, this is it. Be Spock – witness, but don’t get dragged into drama, no matter how tempting the bait. Remember, the North Node is leading us toward our collective good and Uranus (the Disruptor) breaks up old patterns to liberate us from stale structures and systems.

 

We’re approaching a period that may be combustible and it’s important to remember that All Is Well, even when it looks ugly. Consider the big picture and know that we are still in the Pluto Return of the US, the death and rebirth of our country (which impacts the world) and that within in a few years (give or take), we will see the emergence of new paradigms that we can’t even imagine yet.

 

In the meantime, we are here to witness the shadows and be the Light, in two parallel experiences – one personal, one global. Develop yourself. Release what’s outdated. If ever there was a time to be bold and dare to lead and/or shine your Light, this is it!

 

We need you to share your gifts with the world. Feel what is true for you and how you want to contribute and trust your Inner Guidance, which is always right on time.

 

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

This is a fertile week for growth and evolution, with lots of movement and your job is to stay high, stay awake – and keep an open mind and heart, no matter what is happening.

 

On July 8 the Sun squares Chiron (Wounded Healer Archetype) and you feel what’s out of alignment, re: freely being your Self in your present circumstances. If this comes up, pay attention and get the memo so you can address any area needing attention or care with support from a helper. Anything that inhibits your Self-expression is ripe for exploration as a portal to your life purpose or your personal “yellow brick road.”

 

Mercury squares Jupiter on July 9 and you may be hot to trot with big ideas and conversations in which you overcommit to promises you may not want to fulfill later. Think things through before you speak, write or respond. Mercury in Cancer wants to help and Jupiter in Aries is like a locomotive – and in a square it has no brakes, so your best intentions can lead you to overdo it. On the other hand, it can expand your thinking to help you broaden your vision, so if you are seeking a new teacher, viewpoint or solution, use this energy to expand, grow and learn. Just watch the commitments :))

 

On July 10 the Sun sextiles Uranus and there may be a plot twist that leads you somewhere new or your Inner Rebel may kick in. Be proactive and do something innovative or different than usual to direct the energy – step out of the box and boldly express your uniqueness. Dress up, dress down, go somewhere new, just do “the thing” in a way that lets your Spirit shine.

 

July 11 is the 2nd exact Pluto Return of the US (the 1st was Feb 20, the 3rd is Dec 28, 2022). This is when Pluto returns to its exact position at the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. We continue to watch the walls come tumbling down in government, banking and other institutions, as hidden corruption, greed and shaky structures continue to be revealed and fall apart. We volunteered to be here to hold the Light during the deconstruction of the old – and to usher in the new, progressive rebuild that is slowly emerging

 

On July 13 we have a Full Super Moon at 21º Capricorn @ 11:38am PDT, the closest Full Moon to the Earth of the year, so its impact will be felt tremendously. This Full Moon is at the degree where Pluto and Saturn were on Jan 12 when Covid hit, bringing you back for a check-in to see how far you’ve come since that time – and who you have become since then. Notice what has fallen away that you really didn’t need…

 

Capricorn rules structure, responsibility, discipline, commitment, goals and reality – and this is a major reality check. Boundaries are a Capricorn topic and with the Sun and Mercury in caring Cancer, having healthy boundaries is a must. If you need support to learn how to create healthy boundaries, get it. It is your job and will change your life!

 

Capricorn is the sign of authority and it’s also your Inner Authority. Are you connected to your Inner Authority and living your truth or do you need agreement, permission or approval in order to be who you are or to choose a course of action? The energies of the Universe support you in coming into your power and Authority, which require you to trust your Self and know what you know. If more people were in their authority and power, we would have much less violence. Obedience (compliance, submission) is the abdication of power and authority.

 

The Moon conjoins Pluto, which brings up primal issues around safety, trust and power. If your fears have kept you in a limiting lifestyle, you may be ready to rise above old beliefs that kept you small – and you can also notice if/how/where you give your power away. Who are you trying to please?

 

Uranus and the North Node of Destiny trine the Moon in Capricorn, supporting change that leads to your Highest Good. Pay attention to inner signals, intuitive guidance and opportunities that arise and you will be led to the right people, places and things. This can involve breaking free of commitments that are draining or making decisions that defy the old programming that has been running your life for years. You may be surprised by what shows up in your world as the coming weeks unfold!

 

Mercury sextiles Uranus, creating innovative breakthroughs, solutions, progressive ideas, alternative paths and possibilities that lead to greater freedom. Venus trines Saturn (Ruler of Capricorn), indicating clarity about your values and that’s your GPS, as you create your life. You know what feels right for you. It gives you a feeling of stability and grounding. All this is contained in the setup of the Full Moon.

 

With dreamy Neptune squaring Venus at the same time, I think its blurring the edges of our mental constructs that are well defined – and limiting, creating opportunities for greater possibilities. Our dreams aren’t nearly as vast and expansive as the infinite potential of the Universe is. So don’t fear Neptune’s interference with your busy mind – it’s an opening, as it dissolves inner boundaries that you can’t see, to open you to inner worlds beyond the ones you know of now. You will be traveling to new spaces!

 

What a fertile week for growth and evolution!

 

Spiritual practice: open to a bigger picture to discover new possibilities and alternative paths.

Weekly Forecast for July 1, 2022 Cosmic Consciousness Edition

Happy July! We open the week with a busy few days and then downshift into changing planetary signs and calmer energies that soothe our spirits, offering us a much gentler environment and a slower pace.

 

After a week of Plutonian moves (Supreme Court rulings) and Neptunian reveals (Jan 6 hearings), the atmosphere is turbulent, which feeds into the Mars-Pluto square (stepping stone) on July 1. Mars in Aries is a warrior and will fight, and Pluto in Capricorn is power structures and power plays. Tempers can flare easily, so be smart, mind your manners and avoid power struggles. Realign with physical exercise or spiritual practices that bring you back to center so you are in YOUR power and not reactive.

 

On July 2 Mercury makes two very different aspects. First, Mercury manifests with (trines) Saturn, which supports bringing ideas into form: practical thinking, communications, agreements, contracts, planning and organization. Decisions are easy when you are clear, but later as Mercury (forms a stepping stone) squares nonlinear Neptune, you may lose focus, energy or become confused. Mercury square Neptune is intuitive, experiential, calls your energy within and is good for rest, leisure, creativity (making and enjoying), being in nature and spiritual practices.

 

Lower expressions of Mercury-Neptune are doubt, disillusionment, depression and undermining who you are and what you do. If you experience this, it’s an old pattern – a story/label someone put on you long ago that has resurfaced for YOU to recognize as a false belief that you can (and must) release in order to be FREE. The “not enough” identity. If you don’t know how to get free, ask for help. It’s your job!

 

Overnight on July 4/early July 5 Mars and Mercury both change signs. Mars (action) leaves fiery Aries and moves into slow, earthy Taurus, which feels like moving from the fast lane onto a country road. No rushing, but grounded, deliberate moves, and the focus is on practical matters related to $$, the body and comfort (all Taurus issues). Mars in Taurus wants to get things done, without drama, in a relaxed way. More is not better now :))

 

Minutes later, Mercury leaves busy Gemini to enter sensitive Cancer. Rather than socializing, Mercury is in a nurturing mood, preferring to be with its tribe and family (of blood or choice), maybe at home and with those who feel “safe.” Cancer is connected to feelings and vulnerability, so your thoughts may be focused on getting your needs met, your personal life and emotional connections. All things that came to the fore during the pandemic when so much of external life was stripped away and we were reminded of what is really important.

 

Mercury finds resource with (sextiles) Mars as they both arrive in their new signs, with a clear path to achieve a goal, as communication flows easily. This is perfect for sales, persuasion, pitching a project or sharing, as well as asking for support. This is also good for taking actions to fulfill your intentions. Remember, the North Node of Destiny is also in Taurus, urging you to help make your life more secure and comfortable, so take good care of yourself!

 

On July 6 Venus finds resource with (sextiles) Chiron (The Wounded Healer Archetype), creating opportunities for healing heart wounds, ways in which you devalue your Self and others, relationship issues and on an esoteric level, healing the heart of humanity (maybe that would include Neptune). This is a good day for making amends, awakenings, random acts of kindness and compassion, especially Self-compassion – and yes, this should be every day…

 

I wish you a happy holiday weekend and a week focused on your well being and the Greater Good for All. Do not allow the drama of the 3D world pull you into fear, worry or a fight. If you are here to be an activist, be strategic and operate formally from a high consciousness, knowing that this is your path. Otherwise, contribute to the cause with love, support, education, healing or whatever you care about, sharing the gifts you have to offer.

 

Stay tuned. More will be revealed, as you are just in the middle of this movie (and you are the projector!).

 

Stay tuned…

 

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

Weekly Forecast for July 15, 2022 – Cosmic Consciousness Edition

Lisa E ZimmermanCosmic Consciousness Weekly

As we traverse the final week of the Sun in Cancer, we’re still in the wake of the July 13 Full Moon that revealed hidden agendas, covert info and lifted veils that created a reality check on various levels, personal and collective, due to transformational Pluto’s presence near the Moon. And it’s not over, as messenger Mercury will be on the move through mid-week, connecting, gathering data, investigating, processing and speaking up, as it connects with one planet after the next.

 

On July 16 the Sun and Mercury form a new cycle (are conjunct), which supports meetings, sharing and seeking clarity via conversations – and don’t be afraid to ask questions if you’re unclear. In Cancer, the Sun and Mercury can be touchy and easily hurt, but they really crave emotional connection, so if you make that your goal and focus on getting needs met, you will be on the right track. This combo is very receptive to sharing as long as they feel safe, so don’t push.

 

On July 17 Mercury and the Sun manifest with (trine) dreamy Neptune, which is a soft, diffuse energy of nonlinear flow that allows you to turn off your mind for a day of retreat and restoration. Neptune loves a sensory spa – beautiful music or art that stirs your spirit, the beach, laying in the grass, a cool breeze, meditation, reverent prayer, precious babies (human and fur), communion with soul family. Whatever fills your heart with love and compassion. Creativity, nature, spiritual practices.

 

Neptune resonates with Being. Exhale and feel yourself unwind. This energy is the antidote for the chaos that that stresses your mind and nervous system that you can access at any time. Consider this day a spiritual refill. for your well being.

 

Also on July 17, Venus moves into Cancer, sign of home, family, food, emotional safety, needs and vulnerability. Safety is a major issue – and the root of many personal problems in society, as boundary violations in childhood create trust wounds that keep people separate and fearful of intimacy. As I said, we crave connection. Venus in Cancer loves family – of blood and of choice. Sweet and sentimental. A safe space is a beautiful gift and that’s the offer here. A perfect day to be with those you love and care about.

 

On July 18 Pluto (bridges with) opposes mental Mercury and the investigation is on, as Mercury-Pluto is the detective, wanting to know what’s real, seeking hidden info and the truth (as in factual). Something will likely come to light, whether purposely hidden or a breakthrough that gives you a sense of empowerment. Maybe this new truth changes your conceptual framework, shaking up your world in a way that requires a major adjustment that you weren’t anticipating. Any of these can happen and however it goes, you can only build a stable life on what is real and true, so don’t resist. Embrace it all.

 

Mercury moves into Leo on July 19 and it has something to say, probably based on the experience it has had over the past few days. Stay tuned. Mercury in Leo is very creative, wants to express itself and be heard, so speak up – but be mindful of what you’re saying.

 

Also on July 19, Chiron (Wounded Healer/Spiritual Teacher) Stations to turn Retrograde through late Dec ’22. As it stops to change direction, it is extra powerful and it radiates energy available for healing and awakening. Depending on where you are in your journey, you will experience this either by becoming aware of what’s not working or if you’re already aware of your issues, this is an opportune time for connecting with healers, helpers, and teachers, being ready to integrate old identities and evolve. Ask for what you need. The goal is freedom – to become who you came here to be without living from the old programming. Forgiveness of Self and others figures prominently.

 

Later on July 19, the Sun bridges with (opposes) Pluto, activating a power play or you claiming your power. This can play out in the collective or personally, if Pluto is sitting on a planet of yours directly. If so, Pluto has been there for a while already, so you’re having a Pluto experience of transformation and are in the process of having a “cosmic makeover” already.

 

This week is ripe for new ideas and receiving messages (verbal and non-verbal), that shape your thinking and plans as you consider the future. Uranus and the North Node of Destiny are aligned, creating changes that lead us in new directions for the Greater Good.

 

Stay tuned, stay open, stay connected to your Inner Guidance, which is your North Star. Don’t allow outside noise to distract you from what is true for you. Simplify. Create space and down time.

 

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