Current Astro Events – October 4, 2024

Although big picture Jupiter Stations Retrograde (appears to stand still) on Oct 9, it only moves one degree all month, so the whole month is like a Jupiter Station. The invitation is to review your evolving beliefs, ideals and vision for yourself to see if they align with your current trajectory. This is a time for honest inquiry and introspection. It’s a real opportunity to take responsibility for any misalignments and the limits you place on your Self and your life due to old programs, societal pressures and ego fears that pretend to keep you safe, but only keep you stuck or stagnant.

Oct 4 – Venus trine Saturn. This goes to commitments, security ($$ and/or emotional), what you can count on, agreements, shared values that support stability, monetizing creativity and making plans or proposals. This is grounded energy that promotes well being for the long term.

Oct 6 – Mercury square Mars. Mercury is in logical, polite Libra and Mars is in emotional Cancer, potentially creating friction in decision-making if you feel pushed, pressured or attacked. Then you may be annoyed or angry. If you are a sensitive type (or if you’re dealing with one), tread carefully today, as this is prickly energy that can push buttons. 

Make nice and speak nicely – or hold your tongue and think it through before you write the email, make the call or say something critical. And if you (or another) is triggered, the real question is: “What do you need right now?” If you can discern what you/they need – and get the need met, it is the antidote for your/their anger. 

Oct 8 – A triple play today: Venus trine Mars, Mercury trine Jupiter and Mercury opposite Chiron. 

Venus trine Mars. This is creative and passionate energy, yin and yang in harmony, which can be social, but with Venus in Scorpio and Mars in Cancer (both emotional), choose your company wisely so you will feel comfortable and safe. 

Mercury trine Jupiter. This brings optimism, positive thinking, good news, bright ideas, great for making smart plans that serve you well. This is great for connecting with others, networking, socializing and looking for opportunities. Venus and Mars brings feeling energy, whereas Mercury in Libra and Jupiter in Gemini brings intellectual, rational energy and together, you have a winning hand for engaging on multiple levels. Wow. 

Mercury opposite Chiron. An old wound may be triggered around communication, a negative belief about your intellect, education or limitation you believe is true about you – and this is an opportunity to go beyond the “story” and witness what you tell your Self that pulls you down. You can question (is it true?) or reframe the old story or anything that comes up so it no longer rules your beliefs about your Self. Get help with this if you need it – it will be so worth it! Integrate the false beliefs you use to keep you small.

Oct 9, ’24 – Feb 4, 2025. Jupiter Station Retrograde. During it’s Retrograde path, it is traveling in a harmonious sextile with Chiron until mid-Nov. This supports you in your healing, growth and integration IF you are willing to do the work necessary to explore where you are blocking yourself and creating limitations, consciously or unconsciously. It may be by holding on to something outdated, resistance to moving forward or by operating in old patterns and beliefs that keep you locked into the family myth of who you are. 

There are so many modalities and ways to go within and find buried treasure that you don’t know is there! And yes, locating blocked energy is like finding gold, because when you go in there, info and gifts are revealed that will help to set you free. Choose a practice, such as journaling, intention-setting, gratitude or meditation (or all of them) to do a daily check in with yourself to see where you are if you need a starting point. Follow your inner guidance and ask for help if you need it. It will serve you well. 

Oct 11 – Nov 19. Pluto Stations Direct in Capricorn for the final time – EVER – in our lifetime. It’s been sitting at 27Âş Capricorn for a few weeks, where it will stay until Nov, radiating the Plutonic energy of upheaval and power plays that we will likely continue to see in the world. You will feel Pluto all week, but I’ll say more about it next week… 

It is imperative that you observe, rather than absorb any drama or chaos you witness, near or far, in order to be stable, of maximum presence, effectiveness and service. Make it your practice to stay in the present moment and be discerning regarding what and who you allow into your space. 

You are here now on purpose, ready and able to participate in this momentous changing of the guard, as Pluto prepares to leave Capricorn for good and we enter Pluto in Aquarius on Nov 19, 2024. We’re closing out an old chapter for good and creating what’s next with our every thought and action.

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

Current Astro Events – July 5, 2024

Written by Lisa E Zimmerman

July 5 @ 3:57pm PDT – We have a New Moon in Cancer (the Moon’s natural sign), sign of home, family (of blood or choice), feelings, your lineage, personal life and what you need to feel emotionally safe. This is about your private world and what nurtures you. The New Moon in Cancer is conjunct Fixed Star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, known in 5D as the Spiritual Sun. This brings an elevated layer of energies into the mix to allow a higher perspective from which to birth your New Moon vision and intentions.

Sensitivity and vulnerability are highly underrated in our western culture, but they are absolutely necessary for your wholeness and well being. Never underestimate the power of your feelings (especially the ones you resist) and with Venus squaring Chiron, you may be experiencing heartwounds or tender areas that you have hidden from others, but may be triggered again now for healing. Or maybe parts of yourself you once rejected, you can now lovingly accept and welcome.

Cancer is a highly intuitive sign, so attune to the still, small voice within to guide you as you create your Intentions for this month. Remember that messages from Spirit are never fear-based; therefore, be discerning when receiving incoming messages to be sure they are from Divine Love and not from ego, that uses fear and scarcity to “protect” you. Intentions should inspire you to move you forward, not threaten you.

The New Moon is the time for new beginnings, taking action directed toward what you want to create or attract into your life. Self-care is a priority, especially for mothers, caregivers, “givers,” and those in helping professions who spend so much outgoing energy caring for others. Cancer is the sign of the mother and it is a spiritual practice to “mother” yourself in a loving way and practice receiving.

Mars sextile Saturn – grounding, stable and good for creating concentrated effort and accomplishing things in methodical ways. Yes to that.

July 8 – Venus sextile Uranus – changes or surprises regarding beauty, style, love, relationships, $$, gifts or anything you want to shift or think could use an upgrade, some creativity, excitement or a makeover. Think: fun, creative change or eclectic playfulness!

Mercury sextile Jupiter – good news, bright ideas, positive communications, smart plans, agreements, tech purchases, business opportunities and upbeat sales or presentations. P.S. Mercury Retrograde occurs Aug 6-28 and will enter its shadow on July 17, so if you need to make a major purchase or get new technology, the 8th or 10th of July are great dates.

July 10 – Sun trine Saturn – this is another stable, supportive energy of structure in which you feel supported and affirmed. You may receive evidence that you’re on the right track, moving in the right direction or an advisor or mentor may show up for you. If so, expect this to be in alignment with your New Moon intentions.

July 11 – Venus trine Neptune – Divine Love, imagination, creativity, romance, spiritual practices and leisure are all good during Venus and her higher octave with Neptune. It’s dreamy, flowy energy that wants to be in nonlinear spaces of beautiful connections and left brained activities are not aligned. Save your bookkeeping for another day, if possible, and do something spiritual or creative today-tonight.

Venus in Leo (until Aug 4) – and she is radiating heart energy, generous, radiant, operating with dignity and shining her Light for those who can’t find their own. Venus in Leo is operating with confidence and charisma for the Greater Good, in the spotlight, ready to perform as service, regardless of the role she’s embodying. Show up and show out!

Saturn and Neptune are both Retrograde in Pisces and barely moving, inviting you to release anything that you have outgrown or that is no longer relevant to your future Self. You will feel it and it may take courage to let go of another familiar aspect of life to create space for what’s to come, but you are ready.

This is a sacred week, with a beautiful flow as long as you don’t fall into the drama of 3D. Stay on the high road that’s aligned with your Evolving Self and be true to your intentions and your unfolding path. Pay attention to getting your needs met, as they matter!

Love your Self, nourish your Self, allow yourself to receive the love and light that’s available to you from others and All That Is. Love surrounds you. Don’t block your blessings with judgment, fear or resistance. Keep your heart soft and open. Trust the flow from the higher frequency of love. Namaste.

“The Universe is not punishing you or blessing you. The Universe is responding to the vibrational attitude that you are emitting. The more joyful you are, the more well-being flows to you.”
~ Abraham

“The entire universe loves me, serves me, nurtures me and wants me to win.” ~ Edwene Gaines

“When late morning rolls around and you’re feeling a bit out of sorts, don’t worry; you’re probably just a little eleven o’clockish.” ~ Pooh’s Little Instruction Book

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

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.

October 2023 Monthly Aspects

Shelly LealCall, Monthly Aspects

by Shelly Leal

October 2023

October proves to be a very deep, alchemical month, with 4 planets shifting into Scorpio, the sign of transmutation, highest vision, and manifestation. There are 2 other sign changes, and 2 eclipses this month as well, whose sideways elevators take us to new places we never could have imagined—talk about transformation!

 

Haumea, who retrograded back into Libra in April, enters Scorpio again 10/1, this time for good. Scorpio is the creator part of our energy field. It’s here we create life itself, or bring what we envision into physical being. With Haumea here for the next 26 years, our capacity to create will increase exponentially. It remains to be seen how we will use this creative potential.

 

On the same day, the Sun-Pallas new cycle occurs, making a Lightbridge with Salacia; we have access to the divine feminine wisdom of letting things be as they are, and finding the joy in that.  The following day, 10/2, the Sun meets MakeMake, the 2nd personal planet to do so, making us aware of the higher universal laws. It’s Pallas’ turn next, greeting MakeMake on 10/3.

 

Between 10/3 and 10/4 Mars makes a triple new cycle with Arcturus and the Earth Star Chakra (karmic South Node). Old wounds stored in the body may come up for clearing, but new discoveries are possible too, especially those dealing with health or our place in the cosmos. Mars enters Scorpio 10/12, and immediately conjoins Haumea in a new cycle of creativity that could involve physical actions such as dance, theater or sports. By 10/29 Mercury has made it over to Mars for a new cycle of mind-body integration.

 

Mercury is having another busy month. Moving swiftly, the Great Messenger enters Libra 10/4 and becomes one of a 7-part stellium. On 10/9 Mercury has his turn with the waiting MakeMake for a new cycle of turning our thoughts to the unequivocal higher laws that govern us all. The Mercury-Pallas new cycle 10/12 aids us in thinking objectively and collaboratively; it’s the last of 2 prior conjunctions. The following day our mental operating systems become imbued with intensity as Mercury enters the via combusta. He makes his own new cycles with Arcturus and the S. Node 10/18-19. First, we feel these connections in our bodies, then we become conscious of them and can think about what they mean, keeping in mind the Lightbridge with the Soul Star and Eris. This can prove to be a disruptive time, but although it might be uncomfortable, it doesn’t have to be negative.

 

According to Cosmic Consciousness, the Sun and Mercury hold the energies of the divine masculine, and when they come together in a superior conjunction 10/20, there is a balance of those energies. Then Mercury runs ahead. On 10/22, after only 18 days in the sign of the Mirrored Self, Mercury enters Scorpio and conjoins with Haumea. By 10/29 he meets Mars for a strengthening of the mind-body connection. What we think can manifest in the body. The body can also provide validation–or not–for some of our visions; then we’ll know how to proceed. Mercury leaves the via combusta 10/31.

 

Returning to the Sun’s journey, he enters the Fiery Way 10/8, and we might feel the energies step up a bit. The bridge with Chiron can help soften that somewhat. On 10/14 the Sun and Moon come together for the New Moon annular solar eclipse in Libra, just 3° away from the Earth Star Chakra and Arcturus, opposite the Soul Star Chakra (evolutionary North Node) and Eris. Mercury and Pallas also form a bridge with Chiron, signifying that a different way of thinking and communicating can heal old wounds and bring us forward. New discoveries and understandings can also change our way of thinking.  Astraea now has domain over this eclipse, and she is in a stepping stone with MakeMake, a great eliminator with Chariklo and an intimate (semisextile) aspect with Varuna, all very high energies. The balance we seek is available; if we can get comfortable with the highest perspective we can muster, we can find stability, in accordance with divine law. This is a good environment in which to have our consciousness rebooted.

 

From there, the Sun makes new cycles with Arcturus and the Earth Star on 10/18, right before Mercury does the same. As stated, the two archetypes come together 10/20, and the Sun enters Scorpio 10/23, becoming part of the 5-planet stellium in the sign of alchemy and transformation. The Sun-Haumea new cycle 10/24 increases our awareness of our own creative potential. This is fortuitous since the Sun, Mercury and Mars are all in the via combusta and things might feel intense. On 10/28 The Full Moon lunar eclipse in Taurus occurs; the nodes are close enough to create a partial eclipse. This reboot of emotional response feels markedly different from the previous eclipse; the Sun is surrounded by Haumea, Mercury and Mars, and the Moon is near Jupiter. We can feel our emotions with our bodies, which are always truthful. Intuition is strong as well. What we envision can come to fruition when we put love into it.

 

Speaking of love, because of her retrograde, Venus is still in Leo at the beginning of the month. While there, she communes with the Black Moon again 10/5 before she enters Virgo 10/8. Here the heart aligns and purifies, gaining wisdom in the process. It’s not an easy sign for Venus to navigate, but it yields mastery of the heart. It’s here that Black Moon finds Venus for another meeting 10/16, uncovering blocks emotional clarity. The 10/25 Venus-Orcus new cycle reminds us that love is everlasting. This lesson is brought home by the Black Moon’s new cycle with Venus 10/29.

 

Gradually we should find the intensity of the month letting up, as Ceres (10/21) and Mercury (10/31) move out of the via combusta. With 4-5 planets in Scorpio, we are faced with making sure that what we envision is truly what we want, or else we will end up with unwanted manifestations. That is how powerful we are. Pluto, the dispositor of Scorpio, stations direct 10/10, retracing his steps as he prepares to enter Aquarius again in January 2024. Chariklo, 10° away in Aquarius, stations direct 10/19. It’s an opportunity to speak up for the underserved and abused.
