You have more power than you know to shape your life. There are significant energies at play now, with increasing intensity as we approach the Buddha Full Moon in Scorpio on Monday, May 12. Pluto is still at 3º Aquarius, newly Retrograde, but basically standing still and shaking up the collective as it traverses the early degrees of Aquarius for the first time in our lifetime – new territory for us and radically transforming the landscape. With changes coming so rapidly, it’s important to find and maintain your balance (spiritual practices such as meditation and nature walks are highly encouraged :)).

May 10 – 25. Mercury in Taurus. We begin the week with a shift in thinking as Mercury moves from speedy Aries (after a long period between impulsive Aries and soulful Pisces), into security-oriented Taurus. This provides a mental slowdown in which decisions are more deliberate and the focus is on creating what is practical and sustainable. Taurus is fixed earth and not a risk-taker by nature, so you will be motivated by your values and what feels aligned with them.

May 11 – Happy Mother’s Day! 🌺

May 12 – Full Moon at 22º Scorpio @ 9:56am PDT. This is the Buddha Full Moon, the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha, whose fundamental teaching is that attachment is the root cause of suffering. Under this Full Moon, you have the opportunity to face, release or transmute old conditioned patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that are dragging you down and limiting your life. You can awaken by loosening your grip on security traps that keep you stuck, allowing for liberation. Bless and release anything that’s draining your energy, inhibiting your progress or misaligned with your Evolving Self.

Pluto is the Ruler of Scorpio that turned Retrograde on May 4, barely inching backwards, which makes its reverberations extra powerful. This activates Pluto within you, pressuring you to acknowledge anything you’ve been resisting (or denying) that is blocking you and your evolution. This is prime time for personal honesty and being fearlessly real so you can embody your truth. Secrets may be revealed (personal or global), as Pluto digs up what’s hidden from behind closed doors and the unconscious – and these reveals are often game-changers.

The Sun in Taurus asks you to focus on your *true* values – not your conditioned values (what you’ve been told to be, do, have by family, community, culture) or what worked in the past. What really matters to you now will propel you forward, where you can be your best and fill your heart. You are continuing to surrender the past to live a new life as your Evolving Self going forward.

Uranus conjuncts the Sun and opposes the Moon on the Full Moon, and you may suddenly decide to change something or leave a situation – or the Universe does it for you via an unexpected ending, as even upsets help to liberate you from old patterns and experience new freedom. Anything that’s been suppressed can pop up, as Uranus rules rebellion, the unexpected and authenticity. Uranus is The Great Awakener, disrupting stale patterns and stagnant energies for your liberation. It’s like lightning striking and having to deal with the fallout, creating dramatic changes that require reorienting.

May 12 – Mercury square Pluto. This instigates intense communications, thoughts, explorations and CSI investigations, where you go deep to mine info, get the real story or you engage in a conflict that creates a stalemate, where both parties are fixed and won’t back down. Not the day for a negotiation if you can help it. On a higher level, you can gain Self-awareness, powerful insights, breakthroughs and clear the air by facing what’s been suppressed, denied or hidden. Either use it productively or avoid anything dicey, like going down a dark alley alone. Easy does it…

Amidst a chaotic world you are evolving and changing, so allow your life to reflect the truth of who you are becoming, step by step. Be patient. And if you encounter an unexpected loss or change, consider it a clearing – and know that nothing is ever taken from you unless it is for your Highest Good. Opportunities are always available, even during challenging times, if you stay present, open, curious and creative.

You have the power to release stale aspects of your life and the more aligned you are with your truth, the easier the flow. Let go of what’s complete, outdated or redundant – with each release more of you is emerging. The goal is to discover your Self as you move forward – it’s a creative adventure and your unique path will be revealed.

I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

We continue in Taurus season as the days lengthen, the earth softens, the flowers bloom, the birds sing and everything feels new. The Mars-Pluto intensity is separating and the pressure is diffusing. As Pluto Stations to change direction, issues around power are front and center (even more than usual), highlighting the current reality.

We finally turn an energetic corner as Venus and Neptune meet for the third time (now in Aries), rather than in multidimensional Pisces, where they met twice before. Pisces was about processing completions to clear space for the future – and now, in Aries, a spark of initiation has arrived so you can create something new.

May 2 – Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries. A fresh beginning on a spiritual or creative level characterizes this duo. Venus in Aries will boldly pursue its desires and Neptune in Aries is a pioneer, with a radical dream or vision. Because Venus in Aries is independent and Self-centered, this feels deeply personal. Is there a burning desire in your heart that is ready to be activated?

Neptune is boundless imagination that can take you beyond old limitations, so align with your vision, as you tread into uncharted territory and follow your heart. Yes, some may say it’s a fantasy or unrealistic, but you know what feels real for you. Trust your Self. If it’s in your consciousness, it’s meant for You!

May 4 – Pluto Stations Retrograde. Pluto is at 3º Aquarius, where it will sit for May and June, barely moving, as it calls you within to integrate current issues that are in process, if you have planets, points or angles near 3º of Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio or Taurus. You are in the midst of a transformational process that is a sacred turning point in your life and this path will change you, stripping away what is not you – or not for you, leading to an evolved expression of You.

Also on May 4, Mars finally leaves its post-Retrograde shadow after a long Retrograde in Cancer and Leo, since Oct ’24 (pre-Retrograde shadow). It’s past the Pluto-Mars opposition, totally free in fresh territory to create a new path in Leo, where it’s inspired, confident, happy to explore. Yes!

May 5 – Mercury sextile Jupiter. Mercury in Aries and Jupiter in Gemini they have something to say! They want to connect, communicate, create smart plans, they’re optimistic, upbeat with expansive thinking and big ideas. This is great for networking, sales, brainstorming, pitching a project and creating opportunities. Meet people, get around, listen and learn, get the 411. Make the most of this lively inspiration – the energy of possibilities!

May 6 – Venus sextile Pluto. The third of three meetings. Venus-Pluto is passionate, magnetic, charismatic and powerful, intense in romance, sales, and making things happen. Venus in Aries is bold and Pluto in Aquarius is innovative, so this is a perfect space to assess where you are in your evolution regarding your values, relationships, creativity and $$ – and how you value your Self. This Venus-Pluto wants to be on the leading edge, seeks to grow and forge a path into the new frontier.

Mercury conjunct Chiron in Aries. This can be healing words, making/receiving amends or it can bring up unhealed wounds, such as feeling misunderstood, trouble communicating your thoughts and feelings, self-doubt, or negative beliefs about your intellect or education. I can’t tell you how many people judge themselves as a result of a childhood message they received that haunts them to this day.

Imagine the grace of releasing a burden that was placed on you with careless words or actions so long ago – and know that it is doable. Or a more contemporary hurt can be corrected or soothed by a shift in perspective. It is totally doable.

There’s an abundance of fertile ground this week, with pioneering motivations and inspiration for laying fresh tracks on untrodden paths. The idea is to create your life anew in our emerging world that is alternately messy and ripe with potential, dying and collapsing, as tiny roots are forming underground and in the ethers, unseen, that will bring dramatic new creations in the days to come.

Be creative as you enter this new chapter, attuned to your Higher Self, your heart, your loved ones, your community and the Greater Good.

Expect good things and as always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

Current Astro Update – April 25, 2025

Lisa E Zimmerman April 26, 2025Cosmic Consciousness Weekly

Written by Lisa E Zimmerman

We have just completed the final meeting of Venus and Saturn in Pisces, one of several inner planetary Retrogrades that has taken you on a journey in consciousness and now you’ve landed somewhere new.

Venus is your values, how you value your Self, your creativity and what you love – and Saturn is a reality check, commitment and the consequences of your actions. It will show you where you stand.

What has shifted, fallen away or evolved during this time? You may be ready to make some new decisions. In the coming week, you’ll traverse the last few degrees of Venus in soulful Pisces, and then you’ll take the frequency of your dreams and unconditional love into Aries. But first…

April 26 – Mars opposite Pluto. This is the third meeting of this combustible pair, bringing potential power struggles, control, manipulation, competition or a catalyst that activates you (or others), creating breakthroughs or breakdowns in relationships.

It’s here to shake up the status quo with a pattern disrupt to break up stagnant energy. This may not aTect you personally, but if it does, make it productive by finding where you are out of alignment, how you react when you’re triggered and be willing to get real when confronted with issues around power dynamics and how you fight. If it’s aTecting you, it’s here to awaken you to a new reality.

If there’s a problem and you’re involved, get the memo. This has come to you for integration, so you can move forward with new freedom and empowerment. It may not feel like it at the time, but this is a gift.

April 27 – New SuperMoon in Taurus @ 12:31pm PDT. The New SuperMoon (extra close to the earth) is the time for new beginnings, for taking actions directed toward what you want to create or call into your life and this New SuperMoon completes the Eclipse Wormhole that began on Feb 27, delivering you to a new paradigm. Oh, how the world is rapidly changing…

The Sun and Moon in Taurus are ruled by Venus in Pisces, which is exalted, seeking peace, beauty, harmony, stability and is grounded in simplicity. Taurus is a builder, moving slowly

and steadily with a plan. It is the energy of practical obedience, attuned to Inner Guidance, aligned with the heart to manifest security and abundance – and it is supported all week by Uranus sextile the North Node, seeking new paths for future opportunities.

Taurus loves comfort and pleasure (one of their superpowers), which doesn’t have to be expensive or fancy. They love food that tastes good, soft pillows, sheets, towels and comfy furniture, as well as flowers, farmer’s markets and their favorite coTee mug and fresh veggies or (fill in the blank). Do what makes you feel good.

Walk in the park, dig in the garden, listen to your favorite music – anything that stimulates your senses. Taurus is tactile and loves touch. Have a massage or reflexology, take a bath with epsom salts and essential oils, put coconut oil lovingly on your body. You get the idea. Pamper your Self in a way that’s right for you.

Venus in Pisces rules this New Moon, so women may figure in your New Moon rituals, relationships may play a part or it may be beauty that is highlighted. Write your New Moon Intentions after the Moon is New and place them on your altar where you see them (and say them) every day when you do your meditation.

April 30 – Venus in Aries. Venus returns to Aries, where it was in Feb – late March, then it Retrograded back into Pisces and it’s here until June 6. After flowing and dreaming, Venus is ready to go and fulfill her desires. But she’s still recovering her shadow until May 10, retracing what what happening in Feb and March before she lands in new territory later in May. Nevertheless, Venus will be hot to trot, on fire to do something!

May 1 – Beltane. This is the mid-point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, a time of fertility, abundance and sacred union. Transformational powers are released, allowing you to break free of old patterns and renew your commitment to the earth and to the deepest parts of your Self.

May Day honors the Goddess Maia, who the month is named for. The May Day festival celebrates the power of flowers and flower essences, while rituals include gathering flowers for baskets and Maypole dancing, and the Maypole centers the group to receive the earth spirit.

The week begins with a jolt of sorts, the completion of the Mars-Pluto oppositions that can elevate us to a new awareness if our (third) eye is open – and after that, we are blessed with a beautiful New SuperMoon in old school Taurus, bringing us down to earth to bask in what

is real in the material world.

Do yourself a favor and step away from your computer screen, put down your phone and go outside in the sunshine. Or take a walk in the rain, watch the animals that live in your area, enjoy the natural habitat – the grass, the river, the trees, whatever is there. Nature is a precious gift – this is a time to honor and bless it.

Center yourself and do Taurus practices. Earthing is the process of absorbing earth’s free flowing electrons from its surface through the soles of ones’ feet. This will help you to stabilize you as you disconnect from old beliefs, structures and paradigms. Earthing mats are a substitute if you can’t walk on grass (google it).

You are clearing space for the incoming frequencies and creations that will continue to arrive. What a time to be alive and a bridge between the old and the new world!

Expect good things and as always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Current Astro Events – April 18, 2025

What a mix of energies we have with Venus, Saturn and the North Node all in watery Pisces still facing endings and completions, as Mercury and Neptune percolate in fiery Aries, awakening to new frequencies and paths of opportunities – while Mars in Leo prepares to lead the way.

Mercury in Aries is usually clear, focused and buzzing with ideas, ready to go – but conjoined with Neptune (Ruler of Pisces) it diffuses the energy and clarity, perhaps the vitality and you may not be able to fully trust the data and info you get. It’s great for spiritual, creative and compassionate energy, but not left-brained linear facts or even your perspective, which may be skewed under the dreamy ideals of Neptune.

You may feel stirrings of readiness to begin, but we’re still in the shadow zones (previously traveled areas) of the Retrogrades (Venus, Mercury, Mars) before we’ll arrive in territory where we’re free to create anew. We’re thisclose, but not there yet…

April 18 – Mars is finally back in Leo after many months in Cancer and a long Retrograde that made life feel sluggish, progress often challenging, and may have tested your patience. Mars (warrior) is approaching its third opposition with powerful Pluto on April 26 and the impending tension and volatility will be felt increasingly all week. Mars in Leo is creative, passionate and will take bold actions to fulfill a goal and see it through. But first it’s handling anything that needs correction, attention or cleanup from the Retrograde, with this renewed lifeforce energy.

April 19 – Sun in Taurus. This practical sign rules the Earth, your body, the physical world, your values and how you value yourself, as the Sun in Taurus helps to ground the dominant emotional energy. This invites you to focus on security, comfort and pleasure, whatever that is for you – such as, back to basics. Good food, relaxation, slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures when you can and unplug from your technology.

Taurus is an anti-drama sign so this is a call to choose peace and deliberate actions, as well as impeccable Self-care. Hug a tree, enjoy nature, smell the flowers and walk barefoot on the earth if you can. Drop into your body as the antidote for a busy mind and let it speak to you. What does your body want? If you ask, it will let you know…

April 19 – Mars trine Neptune. This is Wu Wei energy or the law of least effort, taking action by flowing around obstacles and aligning with the natural order of life. Sometimes Mars-Neptune will take a stand for those with less power. You will know where you’re meant to be if you listen to your inner voice. But don’t force anything; always harmonize with intention of flow.

April 20 – Easter Sunday brings three aspects. Here’s the breakdown:

Venus sextile Uranus. Unexpected blessings or gifts, creative expressions, love, $$ surprises, innovations, new attractions, style, spontaneous meetings – anything delightful and positive that is liberating, quirky, unplanned, uplifting and stimulating! A sparkly meeting with a new person?

Mercury sextile Pluto. Deep conversations and connections, secrets revealed, detective work, potential breakthroughs if you are introspective, problem solving, hidden agendas and truthtelling. There may be sharing that becomes intense or life-changing, deep bonds can be formed around what is shared. Maybe you meet someone special and have a spark (Venus-Uranus) and dive into a deep connection that opens parts of you or them that is healing or bonding. Just a thought…

Sun square Mars. A high energy aspect that can bring motivation, passion, conflict or a breakthrough depending on how the energy is channeled (drive or overdrive). You can accomplish something that takes a lot of energy. It can start out as an attraction that turns to irritation if the other doesn’t act the way you want them to – or you may think they’re pushy (or you are). Maybe you have an argument and get things out in the open that needed to be said – and then you can process. You can channel this into a physical workout to discharge the energy – or be careful who you are around during the evening, as it could devolve into a spat.

April 21 – Saturn conjunct North Node in Pisces. This is a spiritual turning point, as old beliefs and illusions are released. This is following the path that Neptune already traveled over the final degrees of Pisces, bringing you to face that which must end if there’s anything you’re hanging on to. If so, it’s been in your space for a while, but now you’ll see why it must go. More will be revealed as the month unfolds.

April 23 – Sun square Pluto. This can bring up power dynamics and power struggles, control issues, obsessive tendencies and shadowy behaviors. What is rumbling underground for you that wants to be seen or heard (if anything) regarding your power? Pay attention if some hidden aspect of Self is trying to emerge, where you’ve given your power away – or where your the controller. The opportunity is for clearing via personal work with introspection, honesty and vulnerability in a therapeutic (safe) setting and to be mindful in public, knowing that the vibe is potentially combustible, with people being touchy and easily triggered.

Mars, Pluto, Sun T-square: Mars opposes Pluto and both square the Sun, which is like a grenade waiting for someone to pull the pin. Be mindful, move slowly, be kind. Don’t ask for trouble. Think before you speak or write an email or post online – and if you have anything come up, know that something within you is crying out for attention. Listen!

April 24 – Venus conjunct Saturn. The third meeting brings some evolution around relationships, $$, values or how you value your Self. Saturn is about commitment, where your boundaries are, what’s acceptable what is no longer working. You should have arrived in a place that feels right for you – and if you need to make a break or set limits, now is the time. With Saturn, it’s a make it or break it time. You either commit or you end it; no wishy-washy halfway stuff.

This is an action-packed week, with so much happening. It takes great faith to trust your Inner Guidance to lead you into uncharted territory, especially during turbulent times. But don’t buy into the drama – it is a distraction meant to keep you off-balance.

You are clearing space for the incoming frequencies and creations that will continue to arrive. What a time to be alive and a bridge between the old and the new world!

Expect good things and as always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
