Sagittarius focuses on the big picture, your ideals and expanding your world via travel, education or your consciousness. Rise beyond the mind to tap into a dream, a vision, or a mission that you feel compelled to fulfill to access a higher expression of your potential (and idealistic Sagittarius). This can be profoundly inspiring and deeply meaningful when you connect with your true ideals.

Nov 24 – We step into the holiday shopping-marketing frenzy with the Sun, Mercury and Mars in impulsive Sagittarius, ready to seize opportunities, invitations and offers without a second thought, which can create an abundance of material items, activities, bills, or clutter (mental, emotional and physical). More isn’t always better, especially when consciousness is lacking. If you’re on a buying spree, what is activating your choices? I invite you to inquire within…

Nov 25 – Mars square Saturn. A reality check, as you are faced with decisions after the enthusiasm of yesterday, which may be a blessing. Saturn is the adult in the room asking, “What do you really want and what are willing to do to get it?” Limits, boundaries and plans are healthy for optimistic Sagittarius, as you can make your inspiration practical (which Sag doesn’t do). Let this work for you, be prudent and if you hit a “no” or a delay, take it as a sign to reconsider your choice, your expectations and trust the timing.

Nov 26 – North Node conjunct Eris. The North Node of Destiny (or Fate) and Eris, the female Disruptor, are exact in Aries today and tomorrow on the Full Moon, but they’ve been a degree apart for a few months, activating world chaos. Personally, this can trigger anger, pain, rage and shame that’s been buried deep within you – and if so, try to embrace the wounded part with love, rather than pushing it away so you can feel your way through it. Love yourself and every aspect of your experience. Running from pain won’t heal you. Stay present with it, knowing that the pain isn’t YOU, and if you need help, ask for it – there is so much available. See everything in your experience as an opportunity for your growth and evolution and know that our world is being turned upside down, inside out, to lead us into a new frontier.

Nov 27 – Full Moon in Gemini @ 4o at 1:17am PST. This is a complex Full Moon with six planets in mutable signs indicating movement and flexibility. The Moon in Gemini wants communication and info – and it’s ruled by Mercury in Sagittarius – not good with details, speaks before thinking, honest but can be blunt and zealous. A great preacher, teacher, motivational speaker. Not the best listener.

The Moon in Gemini is easily distracted, loves to connect and wants to know everything! The Moon squares Saturn, so communication will not be as forthcoming as usual and info will likely be withheld. This dampens the mood of this normally upbeat Full Moon, making it more subdued. The Sun conjunct Mars is impulsive, impatient and wants action NOW, but is squaring Saturn – so it’s blocked, delayed and frustrated. Higher expression: Sun-Mars is energized and motivated with restraint and discipline, able to channel the energy into other productive activities.

Mercury (ruler of the Full Moon) squares Neptune, which creates misinformation or confusion in 3D for those who are left-brained or linear. The higher use of this energy is to go within and *feel* the big picture vision that’s calling to you for your future; not what your mind thinks is possible, but what your heart and soul feels for you.

Don’t think about the “how” – honor your unique expression, what you love and what resonates with you. Journal and do stream of consciousness writing (writing is a Gemini activity) to see what comes through for you. Neptune is nonlinear – let whatever you do be easy, in flow, with effortless action. By tapping into your higher vision, you activate a metaphysical principle that becomes energized by being recognized.

This is an opportunity to use your intuitive gifts on the Gemini Full Moon to see what you discover. You can meditate, be in nature or do any relaxing activity that connects you with your inner Self and allow dreams, visions and ideas to appear. Set your intention to discover your big vision (no matter your circumstances, age, etc). Let this be a spiritual practice and be curious (Gemini). Wonder and awe (Neptune) are elements of childlike innocence, that are rejuvenating and spiritual fuel. Feed yourself what you really need.

Nov 29 – Mercury conjunct Galactic Center. The Galactic Center is at 27o Sagittarius, the center of the Milky Way galaxy – the Black Hole, a portal to higher consciousness that allows us to access frequencies that clear lower energies and recalibrate our minds. Give yourself quiet time to open to incoming downloads and allow your mind-body space to integrate and upgrade with the newly arriving frequencies.

In just two weeks, we will have Mercury Retrograde on Dec 12-Jan 1, 2024. The holiday season will be slowed down, a little backwards and the mail will have extra snafus likely. This is a heads up so you can prepare for travel, shopping, planning. Not to be in fear or worry, rather to create extra space, knowing that we need the slowdown for our minds and nervous systems to have a rest.

Don’t over-schedule yourself; allow yourself and your loved ones to be present and exhale… Wishing you a blessed, powerful, transformative week.

We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.” ~ HG Wells

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

Current Astro Events – Nov 17, 2023

Lisa E ZimmermanCosmic Consciousness Weekly

Written by Lisa E Zimmerman

Nov 17/18 – Focus on a vision for your future, as we kick off a powerful week with Mars conjunct the Sun – and both trine Neptune, activating a turbo-charged drive and perseverance that can propel you toward creating dreams come true. Mars-Sun in Scorpio has relentless determination, goes deep, and can release stale energies, while Divine Feminine Neptune brings a Higher Consciousness perspective, beyond 3D.

This initiates a new beginning for Mars, planet of action – and because it rules the North Node of Destiny, it has even more significance after a long period of feeling like we were spinning our wheels, unable to get any real traction. The Sun-Mars will be closely connected through Nov 22, so this can be a “cosmic launchpad” as we approach the end of the year. Don’t squander this opportunity to jumpstart a project, a dream, movement or to evolve your life!

Nov 20 – Sun sextile Pluto offers clarity of purpose, strength and conviction to your Sun-Mars vision. It also provides greater certainty and ambition to any decisions or actions needed to proceed or succeed on your mission. Tap into this powerful energy when making decisions, taking actions and making connections with others, as there is magnetic mojo if you are working
for the Greater Good.

Nov 20 – Mercury trine Chiron can be a healing, an amends, an apology from you to another or vice versa. You may have a new perspective that opens up your world – maybe you made yourself wrong (or someone else) and now you see another viewpoint with more compassion. The potential for healing is here around your thinking, words that need to be said or judgments
against yourself or others (including the global stage).

Nov 21 – Mars sextile Pluto. Continuing the theme of power moves, this high intensity duo can accomplish difficult tasks, so use it well. You will have great stamina for tasks that require major focus and energy, with enthusiasm and determination. What a way to close our Scorpio, on a high!

Nov 22 – Sun in Sagittarius. We enter into sunny, upbeat Sagittarius, sign of Higher Truth, meaning of life, belief systems, spirituality and foreign travel (and so much more!). You will feel a shift from deep, intense Scorpio feelings into the optimistic, impulsive energy of Sagittarius, inspired by social causes and sometimes zealous fervor, which is the day before Thanksgiving
and the shopping frenzy that kicks off the holiday season in the US. Sagittarius wants to say “Yes!” to everything, so be mindful — this can land you in overwhelm, with too many things going on…

Venus opposes Chiron. Take good care of your heart, as someone or something may trigger an old wound, an issue or something you didn’t even realize was still there. If so, give yourself nurturing, soothing TLC, either through Self-help tools, a loving friend or a loved one you can share with or other resources you have. But know, this is here to show you what still needs
healing. You are not meant to suffer forever. Get the help you need to integrate what is not You, so you can be whole, peaceful and free.

Nov 23 – Sun square Saturn. With the Sun in Sagittarius all hot to trot, Saturn is here to slow you down and give a reality check. This can be delays, obstacles and change of plans or disagreements about how to do things – the traditional way by the old guard vs. a fresh approach by the new generation. This is on Thanksgiving in the US, so be prepared to be flexible, as weather events or travel issues can affect what happens. Know in advance, it will be good to give yourself extra time and space for travel on the holiday, to add to relaxation – and easy does it with the elders.

With a world in chaos, it is imperative to recognize and be grateful for your blessings. Know what you stand FOR, not what you are against. What you stand for brings you into an expanded consciousness, whereas what you are against anchors you in duality (us vs. them).

That’s the trap the world is in – us vs. them – and we will never evolve from that space, which is
what we are here to do.

Wishing you a blessed, powerful, transformative week.

“We have passed the time when a leader can show us the way. We must find a new way – walking together into uncharted territory. This means we will spend time in the unknown. But that is exactly where creation lives.” ~ Ann Bradney

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

Current Astro Events – November 10, 2023

Lisa E ZimmermanCosmic Consciousness Weekly

Written By Lisa E Zimmerman

The main event this week is Uranus, the Great Awakener, that’s in the mix this weekend and opposes the New Moon in Scorpio on Monday, bringing sudden changes to shake up your life and twists to disrupt old patterns. This also gives you the opportunity to make needed changes to prepare for 2024.

Nov 10 – Mercury square Saturn. Mercury in Sag shows up with a big idea (always) – and Saturn shuts it down (the adult in the room). Mercury in Sag is full of fire, but doesn’t think things through. Saturn is the reality check, extra work, or something that either deflates the balloon or creates a delay by forcing a process to be fulfilled. Not necessarily bad, just extra work. Or it’s a conflict of viewpoints, having to defend your position or explain yourself to clarify.

Nov 11 – Mars opposite Uranus. This is a pattern-breaker and freedom-seeker. Mars wants independence and Uranus is a disruptor, activating the unexpected – and in opposition, this is a combustible duo. Could be an earthquake, a surprise attack, a breakthrough, a brilliant innovation or breaking out of a rut, but something will happen. If you feel stuck, this aspect can spur you to make a move, and if you’re impulsive- get a second opinion before taking action. Be mindful and move consciously today, as people may be on edge and easily triggered.

Nov 13 – New Moon in Scorpio @ 20o at 1:27am PST. Set your intentions and take action toward something you want to call into your life. Mars conjoins the Sun and Moon and they oppose Uranus, creating a volatile energy that can be explosive, can generate breakthroughs, breakdowns, and can

disrupt the status quo, whether world events or your personal life. The goal of the breakdown- breakthrough is always a “cosmic-upgrade,” and it only takes what is no longer viable and needs to go. If something leaves your life, know that it will be followed by something that’s more congruent with your evolving Self.

Scorpio rules transformation and power and the ultimate result is transcendence over old, stale, non-working patterns, structures and relationships. Trust in the cycles of life, knowing that whatever comes up that is uncomfortable or dark has come up to be recognized and healed, released or integrated – and you are being asked to step into your power.

Uranus rules your Authentic Self, so look at how you’re living and where you’re out of alignment with your truth. It deadens your spirit when you abandon yourself to fit in, rather than daring to be real. Now is the time to break the chains (inner or outer) that keep you locked in old patterns, living like a hostage. It is so freeing to be your Self – and you deserve to experience that, even if you take baby steps to get there. If you need help, let me know.

Neptune is in harmony with Mars, Uranus and the New Moon, calling you within and inviting you to attune to your inner state of Being and discern where you are. Your inner world is rich and filled with insights when you learn to go in and explore. The outer world is noisy, whereas your inner world is peaceful and it’s your North Star – your *true* reality. Don’t miss the beauty of the magical, nonlinear world where All Are One.

Nov 15 – Mercury sextile Venus. A flowing, social, light, easy way of connecting with anyone, but especially those who you hold dear in your heart – or expressing your creative gifts joyfully. A pleasant, easy day – and we love that!

The world is in a state that is too harsh for the heart and mind to process, so it’s important to maintain a witness space. Stay high, don’t allow yourself to be dragged down by the drama. Choose love, do your personal work to center your Self and stay on your path.

Stop judging. When you judge others, you judge yourself. Make it a spiritual practice to stop judging and see what happens. 

Projection is a Scorpio-ruled domain of the unconscious. It’s all about you. The things that bother you in others are your disowned material. Don’t miss the opportunity to evolve, awaken and integrate unconscious beliefs by living in judgment of others, no matter how it’s disguised (caring, analysis, etc.). And watch your beliefs – they interfere with you being fully present, no matter how right you think you are. Human egos created all these wars, conflicts, extreme rules and laws – with everyone thinking they are right.

My idea of power is the ability to access your gifts, strengths and talents and utilize them joyfully, in service to the Greater Good.

Wishing you a powerful, transformative week.

Current Astro Events – Nov 3, 2023

Lisa E ZimmermanCosmic Consciousness Weekly

Written by Lisa E Zimmerman

Your well being is primary, especially during this time of dismantling, destruction, distraction and destabilizing. Nourish your etheric body and honor your innocence with impeccable care, steeped in the natural and nonlinear world as much as possible (the antidote to nervous system stressors).

Nov 3 – Sun opposite Jupiter. This can be an expansive, uplifting idea or perspective – or it can be zealous dogma and self-righteous ideals that will not bend. If you’re on a side, you’re in the game. The higher octave is to watch from an aerial view as a witness or observer – not from a superior position, but rather, neutral. Sun-Jupiter can push you to over-reach or overdo from over confidence. Stay high with humility.

Nov 3 – Venus opposite Neptune. Venus (earthly love) opposing Neptune (Divine Love) can create projections that illusions, idealized visions, deception. This is best for spiritual practices, being in nature, story-telling, music, right-brained, nonlinear activities, Being, playing, leisure, rest, movies, dancing. Enjoy. A nice “time out” for your nervous system (a lavender, Epsom Salts bath) or hot tub.

Nov 4 – Saturn Stations Direct. Saturn has been at 0o Pisces since mid-Oct and although it’s Direct, it won’t get to 1o Pisces until Nov 29. If you’ve felt stuck, stalled or stagnant, as if you can’t get traction or real movement happening lately, this may be a factor, especially for those with planets in early Pisces. 

Saturn, The Great Teacher, asks you to do your work, to simplify, to create something real and lasting. It’s where you develop inner muscle, responsibility and Inner Authority, as you learn to trust yourself based on experience. It is a game-changer.

Saturn entered Pisces in March 2023 and turned Retrograde in mid-June. You may have started something that got derailed or perhaps you’ve reconsidered your direction. Now inching forward again, you will be guided to make decisions for “Round 2” of this new model of structure and discernment in intuitive, nonlinear Pisces – and let your consciousness be in flow…

Nov 4 – Mercury opposite Uranus. Mercury (mind) opposite Uranus (Higher Mind) can be a surprise, the unexpected, genius, innovation or a mental download that’s out of the box or a pattern disrupt that breaks up stagnant energy. Saturn stuckness may welcome Mercury-Uranus brilliance – or perhaps it’s a rebellious troublemaker with a message. Info may be coming fast and furious. Whatever it is, it will shake things up. Direct the energy and see what you can channel from your own genius, but trust the blessing of the info.

Nov 5 – 2:00am Daylight Savings Time Ends. Clocks Fall Back.

Nov 6 – Venus trine Pluto. Venus wants connection, comfort, beauty, harmony and Pluto wants depth, to be ALL in, to know the other fully. A magnetic connection, it is deep, intimate, sharing secrets, passion, personal, with a power that is intoxicating. So, if you meet someone today who you are attracted to, get ready… It can be an obsession with someone or something you desire. But Pluto amplifies Venus in ways that are hard to control so it takes on a life of its own.

Venus-Pluto is here to show you something about you and your desires, intimacy – or blocks to intimacy, what you are craving, hiding, hiding from, ready to discover and/or transform. Explore to find out what it is or what it means for you!

Nov 6 – Mercury trine Neptune. The mind in harmony with higher consciousness, imagination, spiritual and nonlinear experiences. Any communications – presentations, stories, singing, creative writing, channeling, gathering circles, family constellations, dancing – all in flow, allowing expressions of Self as portals of magic. Even dreams and daydreams can be fruitful. Follow your magical pathless path…

All these aspects I have noted above are in water (Pisces or Scorpio) or earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), making them all “yin” energies – receptive. Practice allowing yourself to receive whenever possible, taking in the Goodness that is around you and has gifts for you.

Nov 8 – Venus in Libra. This is one of Libra’s two home signs – the other is Earth Mother Taurus. Libra rules relationships, peace, beauty, balance. Libra is an air sign – it is mental and strategic, focused on what’s fair and justice (the scales). Venus in Libra is the peacemaker, the diplomat, seeking to create alliances, accords, agreements and harmony. Let’s see how strategic Venus in Libra operates during this time of heated aggression in the world. Your role? Can you be the witness, the watcher, seeing from above, but not engaged? It requires a level of detachment that is not of the 3D world, but higher
dimensional operating.

Nov 9 – Mercury in Sagittarius. Mercury focuses on info and details, but not in Sagittarius – this is a big picture feel, an inspired vision. Mercury in Sag can be dogmatic, zealous and enthusiastic. This is perfect for politics and religion – a charismatic preacher who stirs up a congregation is as powerful as a politician who inspires their followers.

Elevate your thinking beyond the usual 3D mental chatter and familiar thoughts to see what is available for you if you go up an octave. Rise to a higher level to find your wisdom (it is there) and then sit with it. Also, Sagittarius is freedom, so what does being free look like for you? Contemplate this and let it be part of the mix as your newly forming nonlinear consciousness is being created.

Mercury in Sag can be blunt (the Truthteller), too direct for some to handle. Here’s a rule: you don’t have to tell people everything you think. But if there’s oversharing, Venus in Libra will help to smooth things over…

There’s a lot of activity this week, especially for Mercury and Venus, thinking, feeling, exploring and connecting, with structural Saturn making his turnaround in Pisces in the background. Your world is coming into form even at the most minute level, internally as well as externally – and all this with the Sun, Mars (action) and Mercury (mind/communication) in transformational Scorpio.

Your job is to maintain a spiritual practice that helps you remember who you are and gives you a quiet space to commune with your Inner Guidance. Wishing you a magical week.

“Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” ~ Roald Dahl

“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.” ~ Sri Ramana Maharishi

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