11/22 the Sun shifts from passionate Scorpio into adventurous and free- spirited Sagittarius.

The Sun will remain in this sign until 12/21.

Happy Birthday to all of the ‘Saggies’ out there!

As this sign is mutable, they are adaptable and tend to move around a lot.

They are very open minded and free spirited.  They are brutally honest as they are always seeking the truth.

Under the element of fire, Sagittarius is an active sign.

The symbol that represents this sign is the Archer, the bow and arrow.  When and what they are seeking,  they hardly ever miss the mark.

They are determined as all heck.

There is always an underlying love for adventure here.  Usually those born under this sign have a bit of a travel bug in them, and often times to foreign lands.

Sagittarius rules over the 9th (ninth) house in astrology, ruled by expansive planet Jupiter.

This is the house of philosophy and higher learning, spirituality and religion, the higher mind, travel and expansion.   All of these areas are governed by Sagittarius.

At their most positive side of expression, Sagittarius souls are fun loving,  optimistic, progressive and intelligent.

They are constantly seeking knowledge no matter what it is about, but more importantly, they seek the truth.  Not just any truth, but their truth and they will typically stop at nothing to get it.

At their shadow side they can be careless and too straight-forward, pompous.

They can be blunt to the point of hurting others feelings badly, and they typically won’t feel bad about it either because hey, it’s the truth!  This is their philosophy.

The tarot card that Sagittarius rules is number Fourteen,  XIV Temperance

As Greek Mythology has it,  the winged angel on this card is a bi-sexual god and is the son of Hermes and the god of Aphrodite.

As such, he symbolizes the balance between the sexes.

Balance, moderation, tempering are keywords for this card and this energy.

Sagittarius season tends to be fun-loving and festive as we enter the holiday season.

While this can be great and there are good times to come, we must also keep our wits about us and keep a healthy balance.

Keep this in mind over the next few weeks.

Happy Sagittarius Season!

I put out a video back in September on the energy of that months Full Moon, just like I always do.

Later on that week I received an email from an amazing woman and client that works in media.  She also hosts ‘Women in Business’ network/marketing events.

She suggested it would be a great idea for me to come and be the presenter for the 10/29 event.

I checked my calendar to make sure I was available, and then without any hesitation I said “absolutely, I would love that”.

We discussed what I would talk about as the main topic and it clicked- my presentation would be “How to use your astrological blueprint to fuel your passion & follow your dreams”.

At this point allow me to share with you, when it comes to public speaking?  I am fine one-on-one and in small groups but a large audience freaks. me. out.

As extroverted and open as I can and may be I am also very shy and truly dislike being the center of attention.  In fact, it gives me anxiety, people watching me.

So, I say yes anyway.  I find out this event is going to potentially be 50-60 women there as a means of advertising and networking.

Oddly, I was calm about this.  I was going to do this!  Besides, I would be speaking about my passion, astrology!  I got this, right?

I made my outline, the ladies created slides for me as a point of reference, and then it was 10/29.

I decided to wear Red as it was Tuesday, planetary MARS day (I know I’m an astro- nerd).

Besides, planet Mars represents passion and power, as does the color red.  What other way to boost your confidence, right?  Any little bit helps when you’re nervous. 😉

Long story short: I did it.

I centered myself, got up there and was me.

Something I always reflect upon as I go through my every day, especially if I am hit with doubt, shame or fear about anything: I will tell myself :

I kept this in mind leading up to and during the presentation.

I did not overthink it as I always do.  I just got up there and spoke freely as i would with a group of friends.  No filter.

As I began to tell my story of how I came to do this work full-time, I broke down a little and cried.  I guess I never really discuss this, and it got me emotional to go back to that time and really feel it.

My natural instinct was to apologize.

How embarrassing!  I am choking up in front of all of these ladies but worse than that? I’m the presenter.  Crying in front of others I can handle, but this was another level.

But an amazing thing happened.

As I apologized and stopped for a moment to collect myself- this  beautiful audience of women applauded me, they cheered me on.

I heard “cry you’re human, let it fly”, and all sorts of other inspirational comments.

After the presentation as I walked around the room briefly chatting with the women several of them told me:

“I’m so happy I came tonight”.

“I can tell you are genuine and love what you do”.

“That was so authentic”.

“You are inspirational”‘

I had several realizations that evening and the days after the event.

1). We are human, not super-human.   We are not required or expected to always hold it together,  and every now and then it is necessary to ‘lose it’ a little

This is not weak, but rather humbling and genuine.

2).  Even when you feel like what you do does not matter?  Keep going because you never know who you are inspiring.

I will admit that there are times where I feel like what I do does not truly matter or make a difference.

The last time I had a bout of this and was feeling very low, right as I was hanging up with a regular client she said to me:

“Lisa I feel like you need to know how important you are to me.  Even though I have never met you in person, you have been a part of my journey since day one and I don’t know what I would do without you”.

Her words snapped me out of my pity-party and shifted me.

3). All of us matter and we all deserve to be heard.

This is the reason I always try and acknowledge everybody.

The gas station attendant, the waitress, the bartender, the accountant.  Does not matter who they are as I go about my every day I recognize that we all have a story, a struggle.

No matter what type of face we present to the world?  There is often much more going on beneath the surface and one kind word or gesture can really mean more to someone than we will ever know.

My work consists of creating a safe space for others where they can feel heard, supported and seen….I guess sometimes I forget that I need that too!

I realized that the main reason I got so emotional during my presentation was because I never really acknowledged the tremendous soul growth that has occurred for me over the past four years.

4). Your passion and your purpose are always uniquely linked, whether you recognize this or not.

I am an old soul.

Since childhood, I was told I was wise beyond my years and I felt that way too.  Not in the form of book-smart, but more in the form of ‘ soul smart’.  I knew I just  ‘got things’ on a much deeper level and still do.

I have always loved to help others, to listen and give advice.  I am now able to do this naturally through my readings.

This satisfies the caretaker and counselor in me so much so,  that I am contemplating furthering my education for counseling.

I never thought I would be able to turn this into my lifes work, and even with its challenges and hard times?  I would not change a thing because I love what I do and I genuinely love helping others.

 5). Stay true to yourself and you will find your tribe.  The path will become more clear.

Do at least one thing daily/weekly that you are passionate about.  Whether it’s cooking, gardening, painting, dancing or singing.

If you enjoy it, find a way to incorporate it into your life.

It is true that when you engage in something(s) that are enjoyable, your energy naturally opens up and you are able to receive.

Remember, what you do and who you are?  Two completely different things.

Recently, I was at a party and I struck up a conversation with a very nice woman.  I did not ask what she did for a living, but she volunteered that she was a lawyer.

After she said that, I responded with “but who are you”?

She looked at me and the best word I can use to describe it is baffled.  She did not even know how to respond. 

I waited and then she began to tell me about her passion for collecting crystals, and her (closet) love of astrology of all things.

At this point, I had not offered up much about me and so she asked: “do you believe in astrology”?

I laughed and said to her : “you’re talking to the right woman”! 

We proceeded to speak for a solid hour and I armed her with resources to study more into astrology.

Before we exchanged cards and goodbyes,  a huge smile spread across her face and she said “I like you Lisa , you make me think”.

What that really meant was that she felt free to express herself, who she was not what she does.

At some point, your passion might just become your purpose, or at least you will be closer to living it out that way.

11/11 into 11/12 (8:36 AM on 11/12 EST) we experience one the most supportive and grounded Full Moons of 2019.

This Full Moon is in the sign of the determined bull, Taurus.

Full Moons are times of great release, purging and cleansing.

 A Full Moon happens when the Sun is opposite the Moon.

This highlights the polarities (opposing forces) in our lives.

These polarities are of an emotional, physical and spiritual nature.  It can be one area or all three, and each Full Moon will feel different based on the sign and planetary aspects surrounding the Moon.

Awareness and emotion reach their peak and are heightened around Full Moons.  This is why we feel more edgy and anxious around these times, sometimes not even being able to sleep.

The Moon rules our subconscious, the raw emotions that lurk underneath the surface.

Everything comes to a head under this energy.  There is a tug of war between head and heart.

The Sun is in Scorpio (water) while the Moon is in the opposite sign of Taurus (earth).

As both of these signs are fixed (persevering and unwavering),  focused and very intuitively ‘tapped in’, this time can be quite revealing and magical.

Cosmically, there are also a lot of supportive aspects to this Moon.

We can eventually move mountains if we get grounded, go within, and use this time wisely.

Stay low-key.

Stay present.

Most of all, stay hopeful.

Mercury will station retrograde for his last cycle of 2019, in the deep waters of Scorpio.

This will occur on Halloween, 10/31 and will stay there until 11/20.

Under Mercury retrograde travel, electronics, weather, and most importantly, communication can and will get a little mixed up.

*If you don’t believe this?  Simply pay attention and track the times of faulty occurrences and you shall see how legit retrogrades are and how they can affect us!

This is not that big a deal- with awareness, we can plan for potential mishaps and all should be fine.

Most important under this retrograde/Scorpio energy is our personal plans, personal relationships.

This is a time of quiet reflection and revision.  Rebirth and regeneration.

We look back on all the ways we ‘do’ relationships.

Do we hold back where we need to push forward?

Do we push forward where we should really reflect and hold back?

Are we giving our energy to the right people?  Situations?  Projects?

Mercury is retrograde and very close with planet Venus, the love planet, which is also in Scorpio.  This is deep, cathartic, sexy even.

There is a lot of soul- searching under this particular retrograde.  It almost cannot be helped, cannot be avoided.

Scorpio energy almost always wants us to swim deep underwater and get to the bottom.  Then, just as you feel you are about to drown?  You rise up and are reborn, you breathe freely again. 

This is Scorpio.

The ways in which we keep ourselves confined and limited are what we are looking at under this retrograde.

What do we need to do?  Do we need to act?  Stay quiet?  Speak?

This can be a beautiful time if you allow it to be.
