🐉 North Node in Aries/South Node in Libra 🐉

When a New/Full Moon happens close to the Lunar Nodes, an eclipse occurs. This phenomenon has been documented & feared for thousand of years, symbolising major resets, seismic changes and unpredictable events.

The Nodes represent an energy of increase & decrease, of bottomless hunger & release. The South Node (known in Vedic astrology as Ketu, the tail of the dragon without a head) symbolises excretion, decrease, diminution & release. It represents the area of our life we try & move from, forget about or wish to decrease. Rahu, the head of the dragon represents increase & augmentation - but a chaotic, bottomless one that is never satisfied. The house of our chart it sits in symbolises our hunger for more, an endless desire for this that cannot really be satisfied.

Observing the cycle of the Nodes in our charts is vital as it symbolises a domain that will undergo major transformations & changes in the cycle of desire & departure of our lives from year to year. As the Nodes move into the Aries/Libra axis (and depart the Taurus/Scorpio one), we move from a place of cultivation, decay & life-building into one of ego, relational ecosystems & justice: what serves me vs what serves others?

Discover what this means for you from July 17, 2023 until January 11, 2025:

• Aries rising (NN in the 1st house, SN in the 7H): less of you, more of me! You undergo a profound personal transformation (in your appearance & character), and affirm yourself over your personal relationships & the needs of others.

• Taurus rising (NN in the 12th house, SN in the 6H): you are contemplating isolation & private time - possibly relocation as well. You become tired of repeating routines & your workplace, you start envisioning solitude in a new light.

• Gemini rising (NN in the 11th house, SN in the 5H): joy is to be found in community & allies - you meet people who are truly supportive, building alliances & networks. You become more focused on fulfilment through social bonds over personal creativity & pleasure.

• Cancer rising (NN in the 10th house, SN in the 4H): great ambitions ahead, you are building your reputation & next steps in your image & career. Home life & hometown becomes less of a priority as you move towards public life.

• Leo rising (NN in the 9th house, SN in the 3H): you are more inclined towards learning, spirituality & philosophical matters - you want to discover more, expand your horizons & leave the local area to the profit of a more worldly expansion of the mind.

• Virgo rising (NN in the 8th house, SN in the 2H): money matters become important, you may share/provide assistance to those who need it. Works around grief & mourning the past are also emphasised. Tax situation can change.

• Libra rising (NN in the 7th house, SN in the 1H): the emphasis moves onto others in your life (partners, friends…), you pay attention to those around you & make sacrifices - you learn a lot about relationships & what makes them fulfilling, but may forget about yourself at times.

• Scorpio rising (NN in the 6th house, SN in the 12H): you may postpone far-off relocation/a desire for solitude as every day routines & health matters attract your attention. You become concerned about prioritising your well-being through a regimen & workplaces that are better suited to you.

• Sagittarius rising (NN in the 5th house, SN in the 11H): creative matters & children become more important as you find joy & pleasure in the personal aspects of life - social connections & networking become less of a priority at this time.

• Capricorn rising (NN in the 4th house, SN in the 10H): your attention shifts to your roots/homeland & building a cozy nest right at home. Your reputation & image become less of a focus as you wish to cultivate the peace of a protective environment. Home renovations are also possible.

• Aquarius rising (NN in the 3rd house, SN in the 9H): you become interested in exploring your surroundings & what the local space has to offer. The concrete experience of your local space, education & neighbourhood become more attractive as you shift from big picture ideals.

• Pisces rising (NN in the 2nd house, SN in the 8H): focusing on increasing personal resources & your own income/saving - how can your resources help in prioritising *yourself*? You release how much you’ve been sharing & decide maybe things need to shift.
