Current Astro Events – April 5, 2024

Venus in Aries pursues her desires, joining the North Node (Destiny), Sun, Master Healer Chiron and Mercury Retrograde (all in Aries) as we near the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8 at 19o Aries @ 11:21am PDT. A Solar Eclipse is a turning point – a major new beginning, a quantum leap or a sudden ending that can clear obstacles or create a space. In Aries, you boldly claim your independence, will, take action when the impulse strikes and don’t need permission, approval or agreement.

This Total Solar Eclipse is conjoined exactly by Master Healer Chiron, offering clarity or solutions for blind spots and stuck areas, supporting you in realigning with your soul’s path. Stay awake and watch for synchronistic signs, guides and helpers along the way. Pay attention to all new arrivals in your life, even the subtle ones, as they may become a major storyline as life unfolds. Not all Solar Eclipse beginnings land with a boom!; some enter quietly and grow in importance…

On the Solar Eclipse, Mars is in sensitive Pisces – and Mars is the Ruler of Aries, so Mars in Pisces Rules the Chiron Total Solar Eclipse. This softens the energy a bit, as Pisces is the Wu Wei sign, flowing around obstacles, rather than charging through, but it will get where it’s going in its own way.

A New Moon is usually the time to take action toward anything you want to create or develop, but on a Solar Eclipse the energy is so erratic, many avoid taking specific actions because the outcome is unpredictable. Follow your intuition if you decide to take action on the Solar Eclipse, but you never know what will happen!

During this period of chaotic energy, when systems and structures are tested (some hold up, some break down), you also face your own fears and vulnerabilities, as well as your faith and strength. Your outlook during the Solar Eclipse will be personal, even if there’s a collective event that affects many.

Are you fearful, optimistic, philosophical, worried, focused on drama or holding the bigger picture and seeing any pain as part of the evolutionary process? You have a choice re: how you see current events – and the lens through which you view the world will color your experience. I’m not proposing a spiritual bypass (unicorns and rainbows), but it is helpful to find a perspective that empowers you to move forward with intention, while getting help for dealing with anything that blocks you from living joyfully and accessing your gifts, strengths and talents freely.

During the Eclipse, Mars is one degree from Saturn – and on April 10, Mars and Saturn are conjoined. This is often considered a hard aspect, feeling stuck, delayed, hitting an obstacle or obligations that are unavoidable. Because Mars-Saturn is in Pisces (no boundaries) and the Aries planets are like rockets (impulsive without thinking) – AND – it’s wild Eclipse energy – AND – Mercury is Retrograde (there may be mistakes) – being slowed down may not be a bad thing.

Regarding Mars-Saturn conjunct in Pisces, I say, “What’s the rush?” We’re in the midst of volatile energy that is moving back and forth, all over the place – so let’s take a minute to stop and regroup.

Mars-Saturn may mean that what you want to begin (or are beginning) will take time to unfold or build. You may have to wait until this Wormhole energy is complete (May 7 New Moon in Taurus). But if you are slowed, delayed, have to wait or stopped – trust in Diving Timing and know that that All is in Divine Order. It’s the ego that thinks it knows better and wants things NOW. Your soul is patient. Do yourself a favor and align with your soul :))

On April 11, Retrograde Mercury Cazimi the Sun. This is the midpoint of Mercury Retrograde, where Mercury backs into the heart of the Sun and you discover important info that illuminates your journey in a meaningful way. This Cazimi occurs at 22o Aries, 1o from the Eclipse, so you may receive info about your Eclipse story that aids in your understanding or empowerment (an intuitive insight or external info). Be on the lookout for signs, synchronicities, messages and your own intuitive knowing.

This is a blessed way to wrap up a monumental week, with a shot of grace to help you on your path forward, aiding you in where you are going and why you are here. A quantum healing is underway for the collective and it’s not for the faint of heart, but we are for this. It’s no accident, so stay high and pay attention to the ways you can be of service to those around you and always to honor your Evolving Self.

Anything that leaves your life is complete. Let it go. Release the story of who you “think” you are and be willing to discover the higher frequency expression of You that is emerging. Even though its unfamiliar, it is important that you allow it to come through. Don’t let your ego block your blessings by trying to control everything. Oh, and easy does it…

Stay open, be curious and know that all is well (no matter how it looks). There’s so much more to come…

“The winds of grace are always blowing – you just have to hoist your sail.” ~ Shri Paramahamsa Ramakrishna

“In order to make a quantum leap you must be willing to tolerate ambiguity, confusion, possibly even chaos for a while, shaping your game plan as you go. Allow some disorder in your life.”~ Price Pritchett


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

Current Astro Events – March 29, 2024

Lisa E ZimmermanCosmic Consciousness Weekly

Written by Lisa E Zimmerman

March 29 – Let me set the scene: the Sun is in fiery Aries, ready to take action and initiate something, but we still have four planets in sensitive, flowy Pisces, including Mars (Ruler of Aries) which supports a flow state – or you may feel drained or confused. We’re between Eclipses in a space of emotional intensity, with Mercury Retrograde approaching that will be active from April 1-25. The slowdown has already begun, as Mercury Stations to change direction on April 1, barely moving for the next week.

Back up your info and know that Mercury Rx can create snafus, miscommunications, lost items, missing info, misunderstandings, things break and it creates mischief in general having to do with communication, info, ground travel, schedules, contracts and such. This is 3D. Some people believe it and some don’t. If it happens to you, you may believe it :))

Mercury in Aries is impulsive, direct and it wants to speak up and do it NOW. Being restrained, contained or having to wait can be frustrating for this spontaneous energy that isn’t patient, so the more you practice flexibility, the better. Deciding in advance to create extra space and allow everyone grace will serve you, and those you encounter well. Also, think twice before speaking.

The Eclipses create frequencies that shift our consciousness, as well as our physical and collective reality, affecting us in ways that we haven’t experienced before. You are being asked to examine yourself and your current life from a higher perspective. We are not on the same playing field that you were on when you set it up and you may be ripe for a personal upgrade. It’s time to awaken, which will happen through fated events and your efforts should you be available to explore and engage.

What still needs to be released or eliminated as you allow your Higher Self, (dreams, intuition, spiritual guidance) to prompt you? Attitudes, ideas, co- dependent behaviors, limiting beliefs about yourself and the world, old programming is ripe for elimination if you are ready to evolve your Authority, your truth, and the life you are here to live.

Physical items, clutter, clothing, books, furniture and tokens that feel complete may be up for clearing from your space. Detaching from the physical can be the release of an identity that you have moved beyond. This exercise can be a spiritual exploration of your past, present and future, experiencing multiple timelines simultaneously.

Come off of autopilot, feel where you are and align with what is true for the Evolving You. Follow and listen to your heart. The more you’ve been trying to fit in, please others or have been following, the farther from your Authentic Self you are. If you need help to find your way or make a move, ask for it.

April 3 – Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces. Before Venus leaves Pisces (where it is exalted), it conjoins with Neptune, Ruler of Pisces, to offer a blissful dose of Divine Love, creativity, beauty, romance, peace and compassion. This serves your imagination, spiritual practices, heart-center and relationships. Venus- Neptune can idealize and delude you into seeing perfection in 3D, so be careful when making decisions, especially with new people.

April 4 – Sun conjunct the North Node of Destiny in Aries. Step forward and use your will, claim your heart’s desires, at the least, recognize what’s missing so you can realign. This is an exercise worth doing, especially to reawaken lost or disowned aspects of your Self from long ago that are waiting to be rediscovered. For help, see The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. Amazing book.

April 4-29 – Venus in Aries. This Venus is passionate, doesn’t wait and hope for things to arrive, it goes after what it wants and gets it. Independent, enthusiastic and self-centered, it focuses on new experiences that create excitement and gratification.
Remember, the gift of Mercury Retrograde is the space of the slowdown. Allow yourself impeccable care with extra rest. Take twice as much time to do half as many things. This is an opportunity to release old mental-emotional patterns, unproductive ways of processing and habitual thoughts that no longer serve you. What a gift!

Dare to discover the Evolving You, that is always changing even if you can’t see it.
Stay open, be curious and know that all is well (no matter how it looks). There’s so much more to come…

Current Astro Events – March 22, 2024

Lisa E ZimmermanCosmic Consciousness Weekly

March 22 – Eclipse week opens with the Sun in Aries and Mars leaving innovative Aquarius to flow into mystical Pisces tonight thru April 30, which aligns with the downshifting pace in the weeks ahead due to the coming Mercury Retrograde that begins on April 1. Make your big purchases this week and get yourself in order if you want to prepare before Mercury’s turnaround, as it will really start to slow down mid-week.

Warrior Mars is a catalyst for taking action and making things happen, but in Pisces the energy is called inward and conflict/confrontation is avoided. A beautiful approach for working with Mars in Pisces is the Taoist practice of Wu Wei, the law of effortless action; moving intuitively and flowing around obstacles.

Allow yourself to withdraw to decompress and recoup your energy as needed – and then take action when you feel ready. Trust your inner guidance re: when and where to move, rather than following the timing, rules or systems dictated by others that don’t resonate with you. (This goes to the North Node in Aries. Trust yourself).

You have your own way of moving through life, and now it’s more important than ever to follow your own rhythm, due to rapid changes, incoming high frequencies and the uncertainty of living in our evolving world. Honoring your personal rhythm requires you to attune to what you feel, rather than what you “think” – or what others want from you. That is the challenge.

You may have to negotiate some boundaries in order to take care of yourself, but that’s your job. If you make the most of Mars in Pisces, you can learn lifelong beneficial skills for maximum operating, self-care and Self-love.

March 24 – Venus sextile Jupiter. Venus-Saturn on March 21 may have been an ending (reality check) – or a decision, commitment, vow or contract that created a new beginning. Now Venus-Jupiter can expand from that ending or beginning – or it may be a feel-good time. With Venus exalted in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus, this can be opportunity, heart- centered generosity, $$, sharing and compassion. A joyful blessing, whether you’re the giver or the receiver – and this is freedom, expansion and Higher Truth (which I’ll reference in the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse below).

March 25 – Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra at 5o – 12am Midnight PDT (3am EDT). Eclipses are wild cards within a wormhole – and things often happen quickly that can move you into a new reality. This is a clearing, a culmination or an ending that will be followed by a Solar Eclipse in two weeks on April 8 (a major new beginning).

The Moon and South Node in Libra speak to relationships and the compromises you have made for the sake of harmony vs. your identity, personal will and desires (Sun, North Node, Chiron in Aries). Consider what needs to change in your relationships and then be proactive and take responsibility for the way you interact with others.

It’s time to release codependent patterns that involve soul-sacrificing agreements, self- abandonment or that diminish who you are in any way. Whether it’s caretaking, perfection, control, DIY or other methods that keep you from your truth, now is a great time to learn to create honest relationships. This is a process worth your time and effort – and it goes to freedom, expansion and Higher Truth offered by Venus sextile Jupiter that’s still active from March 24.

Pluto in Aquarius appears for the first time in an Eclipse, in harmony with the Sun and Moon, activating the potential to transform awareness around identity and relationships with awakenings that propel a quantum leap in consciousness. It feels like this speaks to the collective, as we become more and more aware of what was hidden, maybe in others before we notice ourselves. Stop looking out and start looking within. If you experience a leap, don’t try to control what’s happening, rather, stay awake, ride the wave and see where it takes you.

March 28 – Venus sextile Uranus. This is more authenticity and stimulation for Venus, Ruler of the Lunar Eclipse, as it urges you to explore unusual activities, people, style choices or receive unexpected invites, $$, gifts or opportunities that reveal new aspects of your Self, even surprising You! Take a risk and do something you’ve always wanted to do, but thought yourself out of… if you dare. A good day to be playful, allowing yourself to stretch beyond the usual boundaries.

Trust that whatever is happening is for your Highest Good and be willing to let go to old beliefs, old ways of thinking, old ways of being and relating that do not represent the truth of who you are. And be willing to open to new beliefs, new ways of thinking, being and relating.

Dare to discover the real You, whatever that means, which is rapidly evolving and is always new. If you don’t know what that means, be willing to find out, and trust what happens as feedback from the Universe.

Stay open, show up. There’s so much more to come…

“This isn’t a case of taking a big chance: it’s a matter of giving yourself a big chance.” ~ Price Pritchett

“Every minus you think you have is just a plus waiting for a stroke of awareness.” ~ Mary Manin Morrissey

Current Astro Events – March 15, 2024

Lisa E ZimmermanCall, Cosmic Consciousness Weekly

Written by Lisa E Zimmerman

There’s an abundance of activity this week as we depart the Sun in Pisces to launch into fiery Aries on the Spring Equinox as we welcome the Astrological New Year. All planets are in Direct motion for the rest of March, fueling momentous actions and wild card outcomes via the Eclipse wormhole (March 10 – May 7), propelling us forward in ways we hadn’t anticipated. Fasten your seatbelts, stay high and prepare for quantum leaps as we awaken to new possibilities.

March 17 – Sun conjunct Neptune opens portals to your imagination, creativity, dreams, spiritual practices, intuition and Divine connection. This is a perfect time for channeling and contemplating where you are, how far you’ve come and where you’re going. What are you ready to release? This is a completion energy, as Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and we’re about to begin a major new cycle.

Sun-Neptune can fall into delusion by idealizing others (selective vision), can be very suggestible, can be susceptible to victimhood, depression, despair or disillusionment. Too high (fantasyland, escapism) or too low is a call for support.

However, this is a perfect day for rest, leisure, movies, quiet time or self-care. The invitation is to stay in Divine Love, compassion, intentional visions and insights – or you may drop into confusion, overwhelm and become easily manipulated by others or by AI. What is real? It will become harder and harder to know, as Neptune is the planet of illusion. When in doubt, trust your intuition (Mercury in clarifying Aries will help).

March 18 – Mercury conjunct North Node (Destiny). Mercury enters its shadow today, the territory it will retrace when it turns Retrograde on April 1, so whatever you encounter from now until then, you will be going back over it when Mercury is Retrograde.

Mercury-N. Node indicates new learning, thinking, processing or communicating in ways that will enhance your development, growth and evolution going forward. This may be a result of all you’ve been through over the past months and now you’re ready to make a plan, set a goal or move towards something. In late April, Mercury and the N. Node will meet up again post-Eclipses, but will still be within the Retrograde wormhole, so you can expect course corrections, new info, ideas and events. More will be revealed, so stay tuned…

March 19 – The Spring Equinox / Sun at 0o Aries 8:06pm PDT. This is the astrological new year, as well as the start of the Spring season, when day and night are equal in length. This is a rebirth, when Aries – sign of the maverick,

page1image37572256 page1image37572464

pioneer, warrior – is ready to initiate something. That’s Aries’ superpower, the courage and enthusiasm to start something – to take the initial steps to open doors or lay fresh tracks, so get ready to plant your dreams.

We are in the late degrees of Neptune, our beautiful life or idealized world – the vision of what we love. Pluto in Aquarius is forging a new path via space and the Higher Mind, challenging our linear understanding with new creations that affect our lives in practical ways. This can be disorienting or effortful, and yet you can feel you need to start something.

Maybe you know what you need to do and maybe you don’t. It’s not necessarily clear what your next steps are, but it’s important that you choose something to begin that you feel good about. In which part of your life do you need to do something? What do you need to address – and what actions can you take?

The good news is with Mercury Retrograde approaching in April, whatever you begin now, you’ll be making course corrections in April when Mercury retraces its steps, so you don’t have to have everything figured out. Plus, we have two Eclipses – a Lunar Eclipse on March 25 and a Solar Eclipse on April 8 – game changers that shake things up, so just focus on a new beginning. Set an intention and take an action.

March 20 – Mercury conjunct Chiron. Mercury and the Master Healer following the Equinox is perfect for non-violent communication, speaking or hearing healing words, making amends and the idea that sharing is caring. Try a little tenderness.

March 21 – Sun sextile Pluto. This can give you a boost to help you accomplish a challenging task or to focus on something that requires extra effort or motivation to deal with. This is a gift if you need drive, ambition and power to make something happen. Use it well.

Venus conjunct Saturn. This can go a few ways. Maybe you don’t get what you want, feel rejected or lonely, have $$ issues or you restructure a relationship, get a reality check (wake up call) – or have to do some work before you can enjoy a relationship, spend for a makeover or a renovation. A “give to get” deal, but worth it. However this plays out for you, it feels productive, will be worth the effort or wait, and is for the long term.

This week begins in soft, dreamy Pisces energy and ends in energetic, bold Aries energy. Big difference – and remember, we’re in an Eclipse wormhole, just weeks away from a Lunar Eclipse in Libra and anything can happen at any time. Since

emotions run high around eclipses, expect the unexpected, as well as fated events, and be flexible.

Don’t judge events that happen as “good” or “bad” because you don’t know the big picture yet. I will keep reminding you of this, because it’s so tempting to classify events and people for the sake of feeling as if you’re in control. We humans love to do that. Just watch, stay present and keep your heart open.

Focus on what you want to create, where you want to go, what you want to release – and know that you will land on your feet, no matter what. You have a mission to fulfill.

Stay open, show up. This is not the end of the story.

“I know there is confusion and doubt and what appears to be chaos. Can you see that beneath these surface shadows there is eternal Light? This earth plane is neither the beginning nor the end of your existence. It is simply a step, a schoolroom.” ~ Emmanuel, Pat Rodegast

“We’ve got to stop letting people, places and things stop affecting and infecting us.” ~ Deion Sanders, Coach Prime

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