Birth Chart Breakdown- The Lunar Nodes in The Signs

The North Node is a whisper from the future, a gravitational pull toward the life you were meant to step into. It is not a place of comfort, but of growth. It calls you to release what is familiar, abandon the well-worn patterns of your past, and surrender to a version of yourself that has not yet fully emerged. The South Node, where you have been, is instinctive, ingrained, effortless. But to stay there is to remain unfinished.

The path ahead is not one of comfort, but of purpose. You are being called toward something greater. Will you answer?

North Node in Aries / South Node in Libra You have spent lifetimes tending to others, smoothing conflicts, making yourself smaller for the sake of peace. You have mastered the art of compromise, but at what cost? The North Node in Aries calls you to step forward alone, to lead without waiting for permission, to trust in your own fire. You must break the habit of molding yourself to fit others and dare to be fully seen, even when it makes others uncomfortable. Your journey is one of radical independence. Your voice matters. Use it.

North Node in Taurus / South Node in Scorpio You have danced with darkness, been baptized in crisis, and made a home in the fire of transformation. You know how to survive, but do you know how to simply exist? This lifetime calls you to peace, to build something steady rather than always bracing for collapse. The North Node in Taurus asks you to slow down, touch the earth, trust that love does not always come with suffering. Your healing is found in simplicity. Let life be gentle.

North Node in Gemini / South Node in Sagittarius You have been the wanderer, the philosopher, the one who sought meaning in distant lands and ancient texts. But wisdom is not only found in grand truths, it is found in the voices of those around you, in the rhythm of everyday conversations. This lifetime asks you to listen as much as you speak, to ask questions rather than assume answers, to find the sacred in the small things. You are not meant to teach from a mountaintop; you are meant to sit among the people and tell their stories.

North Node in Cancer / South Node in Capricorn You have built walls high enough to touch the sky, worn responsibility like armor, and measured your worth by what you can accomplish. But life is not a ledger to balance. The North Node in Cancer asks you to step away from the boardroom, the strategy, the control, and soften into feeling. You are here to experience love, vulnerability, and the strength that comes from allowing yourself to need others. Not everything must be earned, some things are simply meant to be felt.

North Node in Leo / South Node in Aquarius You have stood on the edge of the crowd, observing, analyzing, belonging to everyone and no one. You have fought for the collective, but what about you? The North Node in Leo calls you to step into the light, not as a reflection of a cause, but as your own radiant, creative force. This life is not about blending in, it is about daring to shine. Your heart is your compass. Follow where it leads.

North Node in Virgo / South Node in Pisces You have spent lifetimes floating in the waters of the unseen, surrendering to fate, dissolving into the currents of something greater. But now, you are meant to build, to shape, to make the intangible real. The North Node in Virgo calls you to bring structure to your dreams, to craft with precision, to serve in a way that is grounded and tangible. This is not about losing your magic, it is about turning it into something that lasts.

North Node in Libra / South Node in Aries You have always been the warrior, the lone wolf, the one who charged ahead with fire in your veins. But now, you must learn to stand beside another, not just as an individual, but as an equal. The North Node in Libra asks you to listen, to compromise, to see strength not as independence, but as connection. Your greatest victories will not be won alone.

North Node in Scorpio / South Node in Taurus You have known safety, comfort, and the slow, steady rhythm of a well-planned life. But security is not the same as growth. This lifetime calls you to dive into the depths, to surrender the illusion of control, to face what lies beneath the surface. The North Node in Scorpio asks you to let go, to embrace the mystery, to let yourself be transformed. You are meant to rise from your own ashes. Trust the fire.

North Node in Sagittarius / South Node in Gemini You have lived among the details, learned to navigate the chatter of the mind, but now you are called to something greater. The North Node in Sagittarius asks you to stop seeking answers in fragments and embrace the whole story. Let go of distractions, of hesitation, of overthinking. This is your time to leap, to explore, to believe in something bigger than yourself. The world is waiting. Go.

North Node in Capricorn / South Node in Cancer You have been held, nurtured, protected, but you cannot stay in the cradle forever. The North Node in Capricorn calls you to step into your own authority, to build something lasting, to claim your place in the world with discipline and determination. You are not here to be carried. You are here to lead.

North Node in Aquarius / South Node in Leo You have been the center of attention, the artist, the performer, the one who thrived on recognition. But this life asks you to turn your gaze outward, to use your gifts for something greater than personal glory. The North Node in Aquarius calls you to innovate, to revolutionize, to break free from ego and create for the collective. This is not about you alone, this is about all of us.

North Node in Pisces / South Node in Virgo You have spent lifetimes measuring, perfecting, fixing. But the North Node in Pisces asks you to let go of control, to surrender to the mystery, to trust in something beyond logic. This is your time to step into the divine flow, to dissolve into the vastness of possibility, to know that not everything needs to be planned, some things are meant to be felt. You are the dreamer, the poet, the mystic. Let yourself drift. Let yourself believe.

Random Observations 2

I'm trying to get more expressive hence using lots of emojis

🍓 I found that People having number 7 loves to walk. As number 7 is the number of Ketu, detachment therefore they love things too which include walking like trekking! Numbers - 7, 16, 25

❤️ People having Jupiter Atmakaraka can have a big body as Jupiter expand everything. So big hips, chest, nipples,etc.

👀 People with moon in 1st House can become a ghost after death but not people with Sun in first house. As moon represents our psyche so moon gets strong if placed in first house. Sun is ego and burns the house where it is placed.

🦢 No one can force a Moon Atmakaraka to do anything until and unless they themselves want to.

🌝 Mars in Aquarius are lazy people. Good aspects can lessen this behaviour.

💩 People having Sun in first house usually have good bowel. I heard they 💩 daily is this true for you too? Comment below 👇

🔥 Having scorpio Venus + Gemini Ascendant girlies have 🧨 body. Model look, sexy body 👁️👁️

Part 3 is coming soon. I'm short on money this month. So If anyone is interested in the chart reading please DM. You can give me half the price of D1, D9 chart reading of you too are short on money. Thank you!

North Node (Rahu) & South Node (Ketu)

Hello guys! Nice to see you again. This post is going to be all about North Node (Rahu) and South Node (Ketu). I'm about to describe the meaning of the Nodes from both traditional tropical/Hellenistic astrology and from sidereal/Vedic astrology. You're going to learn what the Nodes mean, where the meaning came from and how to interpret them in your birth chart. So, without further delay, let's get straight into the topic!

Before I actually get into this topic, I just want to clarify something. You've probably heard that the North Node in astrology represents our life path, purpose, mission and what we are supposed to do, while South Node in astrology represents our past life, karma from our past life and what we should let go of. That's not what they are about and it's a common misconception about astrology. This meaning comes from modern tropical astrology, which tells us more about our personality and individual life purpose. I already said a lot of times about the misconceptions from modern astrology, so I won't repeat myself over and over again.

The Nodes are actually about imbalances in our life. In traditional tropical/Hellenistic astrology, the North Node represents the area of our life which increases in our life, while the South Node represents the area of our life which decreases in our life, for better or for worse. North Node also represents the area where there's too much going on in our life, while South Node represents the area where there's lack of something. I used to think that we need to balance the energies of North Node and South Node, but I've realized afterwards that this is likely impossible. Like I said, the Nodes actually describe the imbalances in our life. The meanings of the Nodes in Hellenistic astrology came from astronomy, by the way.

In sidereal/Vedic astrology, the Nodes have a way more different meanings, which came from mythology, by the way. In Vedic astrology, North Node is called Rahu and South Node is called Ketu. Rahu (North Node) is a head without a body which represents attachment, material world, our desires we want to achieve so bad and the area of our life where we're never satisfied about and which we want more and more. On the other hand, Ketu (South Node) is a body without a head which represents detachment, spirituality, the area of our life where we detach from and which we don't care that much about.

The best way to interpret the Nodes is to look at the house they sit. So, here's what the Nodes mean in houses. Keep in mind that I use Whole Sign system to interpret the houses in astrology.

1st house NN (Rahu) / 7th house SN (Ketu):

The 1st house represents you, self, your personality and who you are, while the 7th house represents other people around you and your partner. Having the North Node (Rahu) in the 1st house could mean that there's a strong focus on you and your independence in your life. You might favor yourself over the other people. The South Node (Ketu) in your 7th house might indicate that the other people in your life might not play an important role in your life. You may detach from the people around you as well. And this can be good if you don't have a need to change everything or if you want independence in your life. However, if you've been single for years and want to get in the romantic relationship, then that's the problem.

2nd house NN (Rahu) / 8th house SN (Ketu):

These are both houses of ownership. The 2nd house represents something that you own, while the 8th house represents something that other people around you own. It's mostly about money and financial matters when it comes to these two houses. The North Node (Rahu) in your 2nd house may indicate your own money and resources increase in your life, while the South Node (Ketu) in the 8th house might indicate that other people's money, resources and debt decrease in your life, which is a good thing. Having more your own money and less debt is always a good thing, so you don't need to change anything about that.

3rd house NN (Rahu) / 9th house SN (Ketu):

The 3rd house represents your siblings, your best friend (BFF) and seeking spirituality within yourself, while the 9th house represents voyages, religion, wisdom, education and seeking spirituality beyond yourself. The North Node (Rahu) in the 3rd house indicates that you might have a strong inclination towards spirituality which is unfamiliar to many people, such as witchcraft, Tarot, Wicca, palm readings etc. This placement can also tell that your siblings might play an important role in your life. The South Node (Ketu) in the 9th house indicates that you might not be into higher education, religion (such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism etc.) and you may not tolerate other people's opinions. You might not have a tendency to look outside for the answers because you might think that every answer is within yourself.

4th house NN (Rahu) / 10th house SN (Ketu):

The 4th house represents your home, private life, parents and comfort, while the 10th house represents your career, professional life, reputation and public image. Traditionally, the 4th house represents your father, while the 10th house represents your mother. The North Node (Rahu) in the 4th house signifies that you might focus more on creating your own family than your career and making a name for yourself. You might not care what other people think about you, but you might care what people close to you think about you. The South Node (Ketu) in the 10th house signifies that you're not interested for your career path and in creating your public image. When it comes to your parents, with this placement, you might spend more time with your father, while your relationships with your mother might be more detached.

5th house NN (Rahu) / 11th house SN (Ketu):

The 5th house represents good fortune, good things that happen in your life and everything that improves your well being, such as wealth, children and well environment. Having the North Node (Rahu) in the 5th house means that you might be someone whose focus is on creating some kind of wealth in your life. You might aggressively gravitate a path of having a huge amount of money or you might be very focused on everything that improves your health. Children may also play a significant role in your life. The 11th house represents good spirit and the area of our life which improves our mind, such as friends, community, gains etc. With the South Node (Ketu) in the 11th house, that area of your life may not be strong in your life, which means that you don't have any friends. This might be the problem if you feel lonely and you want to make some friends.

6th house NN (Rahu) / 12th house SN (Ketu):

Both of these house are about afflictions. The 6th house represents everything that afflicts your body and well being, such as physical disease and slavery. If you have the North Node (Rahu) in the 6th house, the things that might play a huge role in your life are physical diseases and doing something in your life you possibly don't want to do. The 12th house represents everything that afflicts your mind, such as depression, isolation, loneliness and other mental health issues. Having the South Node (Ketu) in the 12th house could mean that the mental health issues might not be that much significant and you might not struggle that much with mental issues, which might be a good thing. However, you may struggle more with physical diseases in your life.

7th house NN (Rahu) / 1st house SN (Ketu):

Like I previously said, the 7th house represents other people around you, while the 1st house represents yourself, your personality and everything about you. With the North Node (Rahu) in the 7th house, other people around you might play a huge role in your life. You might always be with someone, whether it's your partner, friend or someone else. With the South Node (Ketu) in the 1st house, you might neglect yourself in general. Building your independence up is not something you strive for. If you feel more comfortable with the people around you than being on your own, that's a good thing. However, if you want to become more independent in your life, then that could be problem.

8th house NN (Rahu) / 2nd house SN (Ketu):

Again, as I mentioned before, the 8th house represents other people's money, their resources, inheritance, and something that other people around you own. Having the North Node (Rahu) in the 8th house could indicate that debts and loans might be increased in your life. Other people might help you financially, which might be a good thing. There's also a possibility for you to inherit someone else's money, especially after the death of that person. On the other hand, the 2nd house represents your money, your resources and something that you own. With the South Node (Ketu) in the 2nd house, you might feel that your own money and resources are limited, which might be the problem if you want to make your own money for yourself.

9th house NN (Rahu) / 3rd house SN (Ketu):

These two houses have several meanings, but I'm going to use them as the houses of spirituality. The 9th house represents seeking spirituality beyond yourself, while the 3rd house represents seeking spirituality within yourself. The North Node (Rahu) in your 9th house can mean that you might actively seek answers outside of you. You tend to be philosophical with this placement. Higher education and religion, whether it's Christianity, Islam or Judaism, might play a significant role in your life. This placement could make someone a religious fanatic too. The South Node (Ketu) in the 3rd house means that you might not search for inner truth, as much as you might search for universal truth. Relationship with your siblings might be neglected too or you might not have any siblings with this placement.

10th house NN (Rahu) / 4th house SN (Ketu):

The 10th house represents your career, professional life, reputation and your mother, while the 4th house represents your home, private life and parents, but specifically your father. Having the North Node (Rahu) in the 10th house can indicate that you might actively gravitate towards building your career path and making a name for yourself. Reputation and how other people see you might be very important to you. Having the South Node (Ketu) in your 4th house could signify that your relationships with your parents and the people close to you might be detached. You might not have a clear sense of home and comfort or family may not be very important to you. You may likely spend more time with your mother than with your father.

11th house NN (Rahu) / 5th house SN (Ketu):

Both of these houses are about the privileges and advantages in our life. The 11th house represents good spirit and everything that improves your mind, such as friends, community and gains. If you have the North Node (Rahu) in the 11th house, that likely means you may have a social life. You might have the people around you who will likely support your goals because they wanna see you succeed. On the other hand, the 5th house represents good fortune and everything that improves our well being, such as good health, children and wealth. Having the South Node (Ketu) in the 5th house could mean that the area of your life, such as children or wealth, might not be important in your life or these things may not make you happy. You might not have the children or you might not care that much about your health in this lifetime of yours.

12th house NN (Rahu) / 6th house SN (Ketu):

The 12th house represents everything that threatens your mind, such as depression, isolation and other mental health issues. With the North Node (Rahu) in the 12th house, depression and some mental health issues might increase in your life. You might feel that you're constantly isolated, struggling to find friends or any kind of community. The 6th house represents everything that threatens your well being and your health, such as physical diseases, injuries or car accident. With the South Node (Ketu) in the 6th house, I can tell that you might not struggle that much with physical diseases and injuries as much as you might struggle more with mental health issues in your life.

That would be everything for this post! This observation might be one of the longest ones of mine, but I really wanted to share interpretation of the Nodes for every house. Mind you that I use the Whole Sign system for houses again. I don't use Placidus at all. Comment what you think about this. Do you resonate with these interpretations? Maybe these placements of the Nodes are not active right now in your chart. You might experience the events of your natal Nodes every 9 years when there's an Eclipse or every 12 years when there's a profection year. I don't know. Nevermind, I hope you enjoyed while reading this observation. Thanks so much for your attention and support, I really appreciate that. Bye and see you next time!

Best regards,

A quick info(?) to understand dynamics:

Venus, Jupiter and Sun are abundant and giving.

The rest of the planets are receptive in one way or another.

Saturn receives and limits/crystalizes

Mercury receives and manipulates

Ketu receives and absorbs completely

Rahu receives and projects outwardly

Moon receives gives back the smoothed mixture of what it recieved

Mars receives and builds/protects.

Out of these, Mars and Rahu look active, but they are not energetically abundant. Mars can sometimes be tho, depending on how much of the energy is left in them, but it's still not giving, it's protective.

The three giving plantes do not give in the same way either.

Venus only gives to whom and what it considers worthy but then, when it chooses, it gives its all.

Jupiter gives to everyone and everything, especially to those who it thinks need it most.

The Sun does not give out of love or dependency per se, but it's natural for it to spread its influence, like the Sun can't help but shine its rays on everyone and everything, without encouraging exchnage(like with Venus) or dependancy(Jupiter).

mercury square the nodes

kind of like a mini mercury retrograde but without so many mis-sent texts. stuff like that happens to bring you back on track with your fate/destiny/wyrd, but not just to make trouble, over the next couple of days. it's more about people from the past becoming part of your future, or meeting people who you will have beside you for the rest of your life.

[middlenamesage]

One thing the North Node in Aries and South Node in Libra has been getting me to see is “boundaries” aren’t really about how many people you can shut out, or how quick you can be to shut someone out at the first sign that they could maybe be problematic. I’ve lost out on many opportunities to learn from people and to receive love or support, doing this in my past.

No, healthy boundaries are something you have to be willing to work on within relating. By all means, if someone clearly purposely screws you over, turn your back on them and never look back. But if you’ve been taken advantage of a lot in the past, you might be prone to seeing potential toxicity someone will bring into your world, where it doesn’t actually exist.

I’ve learned that pushing away people before even actually learning what they’re about is not a flex. Also I’m no longer worried about being open to someone who turns out to have tendencies I can’t be around. Because I’m now confident that I can utilize boundaries other than just never letting anyone into my world in the first place. (And I had to be willing to be open to interacting with more people again to even be able to practice this.)

What a lesson truly synthesizing Aries and Libra. My boundaries these days are starting to feel so much more productive for me and I’m grateful. 🙏

Capricorn north node & Cancer south node analysis:

Your destiny point: independence, happiness, growing into responsibility and authority, leaving a legacy in your work. Learning to trust yourself and embrace your ambitions. Be unapologetic, the family doesn’t own you anymore.

What you have to overcome: feeling an extreme lack of safety. Nobody saves you except you. Authority issues

Childhood: ** trigger warning, talk of emotional abuse

Individuals with this placement didn’t have a positive family experience as a child. One or both parents were often very emotionally and mentally abusive, forcing these individuals to always be in a state of “reading the room” for hints of unpleasant emotions because the family was so volatile. In addition, this placement is rebellious and often times they are THE MOST rebellious when everything is fine in their life and they are feeling safe. It really is behavior that was engrained in childhood. It’s very hard for these individuals to understand that things can be fine and safe and not feel like the floor could fall out at any minute. As a child, they probably felt a tad bit uncomfortable with feelings of security, happiness, and joy because as quickly as those wonderful feelings happened, they were quickly destroyed by an abusive family member.

<tarot observation> pulling The Moon in a “fears” placement of a spread

May have also struggled going to school because school was full of strangers and the individual couldn’t read their surroundings often thinking the worst before school. May have also been bullied because of issues with the family (strict, overtly religious, not religious, black sheep family.) the home environment is definitely a dichotomy, because they hate to be there but don’t want to leave.

When getting in trouble, this placement will over explain their side because in the childhood home, mistakes had to be so justified and reasoned to survive.

In the song, “Living the Dream” Sturgill Simpson sings, “Living the dream makes a man want to scream” reminding me of this placement. Also, Big K.R.I.T’s song “Mixed Messages”

May have an angel like appearance. People tend to fight over this child.

Adult:

Despite a tough childhood, this placement is actually very ambitious and successful and will work tirelessly to build a home full of safety and comforts, but it’s a double edged sword because when it’s too quiet or too happy, individuals will replay their parents, feeling a need to disrupt the peace and change something or leave causing emotional abuse to those around them. Individuals with this placement need to learn they don’t have to leave and they don’t always have to feel included. They can literally just be. a. person.

They often struggle with emotional identification and may borrow emotions from others, may even have imaginary friends as a child and into adulthood, because they would rather be together in a sad emotion than alone in one. This is why it’s so hard to stay peaceful with this placement because the cancer south node fills this individual with insecurity. It’s almost like with this placement safety doesn’t exist or felt rarely…. So why not act out?? Developing a strong sense of self will help this placement. Self discipline and self discovery needs to be learned.

Very gangster like qualities to this placement. This placement is probably a talented artist, writer, actor, executive, manager, politician, lawyer, professor, or in law enforcement.

***women with this placement may experience issues with male control from childhood into adulthood.

How to overcome:

Self actualization is key. A stable sense of self. Let the abusive family go. Cut contact. Know that the family can’t save you. Quit being pessimistic. Observe needed moments for a rebellious approach. Believe in a moral code that guides them in a good direction. This placement needs to let go of the pain and welcome the happiness that is available to them as long as they can stay away from the pitfalls of childhood and a rough start into adulthood. RECEIVE LOVE. Also, needs to stop being so critical of themselves and over explaining when they have messed up. Forgive oneself. Individuals need to understand that they are included within oneself and they belong to themselves. You are your own authority and you’re not always responsible for how someone feels. &&&& use the intuition required for survival in childhood as a strength in adulthood.

Also, know that there is room for you too ❤️

[ms-m-astrologer]

Astrologer Steven Forrest writes about the lunar nodes.

[makingspiritualityreal]

The Difference Between Rahu and Ketu lies in the Element of Fear.

Ketu is fearless. Its wisdom lies in minimalism, and knowledge that this Universe relies on patterns and thus you will never lack anything forever. As a result, there is no fear of loss in that area, through subconscious awareness that areas of Ketu house will certainly manifest again even after heavy losses. As a result, because of such an open energetic flow, manifestations occur even more easily.

Rahu is fearful. Rahu is where we gorge, because we act as if every second could be our last. Rahu has a "do or die" mentality, pursuing its desire in intensity having root in anxiety. However, a refined Rahu has and advantage of complexity and finesse of form, when it turns anxiety into responsibility. A matured Rahu replaced fear with preparation, knowing how to provide oneself with what one desires through either creating the thing itself or opportunities for it.

Today occurs the featured astrological event of January 2025

The North Node moves from Aries to Pisces, and the South Node moves from Libra to Virgo on the 29th of January at 01:50.

But why did some people say that the Lunar Nodes changed signs on January 11th, and others said they changed signs on January 29th, 2025?

You may have read that the Lunar Nodes changed signs on January 11th from the Aries/Libra axis to the Pisces/Virgo axis (The nodes always "move" backward.)

But here I'm telling you they changed signs on Wednesday the 29th at 01:50 EST.

Both dates are correct because there are two different ways of calculating the position of the Lunar Nodes.

Bear with me for a second.

What we, astrologers, poetically call the "North Node" has two other names: Mean Node or True Node.

In theory, the position of the Lunar Nodes “wobbles” a bit. Astronomers began considering this wobble and called this position the True Node.

But it is not necessarily any “truer” than the Mean Node.

It’s just a different mathematical approach. It's called True because it's the true, actual position of the Node, astronomically speaking.

Astrologers disagree on which is better to use in chart analysis. The True Node represents the exact calculated position of the lunar nodes at any given moment.

Instead, the Mean Node is an average position calculated over a more extended period of time.

This means that the True Node is more dynamic, and the Mean Node is more stable for interpretation purposes.

They are never more than a few degrees apart, so their distance rarely matters in a birth chart reading.

Truth be told, I don't have a philosophical stance towards using the True Node or the Mean Node. I use the True Node because it's the actual position of the node.

But I'm a tropical astrologer, so a sidereal astrologer would probably tell me that I'm using an inaccurate zodiac in my work that doesn't represent the actual position of the planets in the sky, so why cherrypicking the True Node but not the whole zodiac?

Anyway, I'm getting off-topic here. This is something to discuss extensively in a different opportunity.

On Astro Seek, when you click on the "Current planets" button, you can see the position of both the True and Mean Nodes.

Hope this clarification helps.

The Nodes are Shifting

What: North & South Nodes move into Pisces & Virgo

When: Jan. 11, 2025

Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but esp. Pisces, Virgo and the other Mutable Signs

Takeaway: with the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, we're striving towards compassion and trusting the flow, while leaving behind inflexibility and excessive perfectionism. The rub? Not losing our critical thinking abilities to fantastical escapism.

Every 18-ish months, the Nodes shift into new zodiac signs. This is cosmic code for a brand-new collective focus. Come Jan. 11, the Nodes are shifting out of Aries & Libra, and into a more changeable, more fickle, and more chaotic storyline: the Pisces-Virgo axis. This new axis is about balancing surrender with order, intuition with logic, and chaos with structure. And let me tell you, it’s not gonna be boring.

For us personally, the North Node shows where we’re suddenly insatiably hungry for more—more growth, more experiences, more everything. (It’s called the “head of the dragon” for a reason. Dragons are always hungry.) Meanwhile, the South Node—the “tail of the dragon”—is sweeping away old habits, behaviors, and tendencies that no longer serve us. And because the Nodes operate as a pair, they’re always in opposition, which means they’re constantly reminding us: BALANCE is key. But balancing striving (I need this now!) with shedding (do I even need this anymore?)? That’s not exactly easy.

With dreamy, boundless Pisces leading the charge, the vibe is all about surrender—to the unknown, to your feelings (ugh), and to the chaos. (Because as much as I’m not fear-mongering here, I want to be honest: there WILL be chaos in 2025.) Meanwhile, Virgo, the ultimate perfectionist, is here to remind you that structure and precision aren’t entirely the enemy. But maybe too-high expectations, perfectionism, and self-doubt are.

Get the FULL SCOOP on the North Node in Pisces & the South Node in Virgo on The Cosmic Almanc:

[glitzbitz]

Oh nothing, just thinking about the dragon symbolism tied to the nodal axis during the battle of Onigashima for like no reason.

Kaidou is hyper focused on strength, absolute domination and pushing towards the future. Similar to the North Node, the Dragon’s head.

Whereas Momonosuke, due to a a twist of fate/time travel. Stumbled onto the artificial devil fruit. Artificially made to mimic Kaidou’s strength.

Contrasting Kaidou’s confidence, Momo is timid. Having to constantly build up strength/courage by focusing on the bygone power of his lunar lineage. Like the South node, the dragon’s tail. Momonosuke is tied to the past.

Discussing the lunar nodes without mentioning the Sun or eclipses…feels incomplete. Conveniently, the solar themed MC is here too.

By the end of this battle Luffy’s devil fruit awakens. Connecting him to Joy boy and Nika, the Sun God. Eclipsing Kaidou’s strength.

When the Sun & Moon are eclipsed by the nodes of fate. They emerge from the belly of beast after a fierce struggle. Changed and (sometimes) more assured of their heroic journey.

Space Did Something Cool

So, not only are eclipses really cool, they also come up a lot in JttW adjacent Fandom, like LMK, for various reasons. One is because if Sun Wukong's non-cannonical children from the ancient fanfic that counts as literature, Journey to the South. They are Yuebei Xing (Lunar Apogee), Jidu (South/Descending Lunar Node), and Luohou (North/Ascending Lunar Node). I've known about these characters and these terms for a couple months, but I didn't quite grasp what things like the nodes were until I saw this. Red has a knack for explaining things, so I recommend giving this a watch if you're confused. Or if you aren't. Watch more of her content, is what I'm saying.

We have 3 planets in Scorpio rn (the Sun, Mercury, Mars) and I'm seeing way more graphic videos and somehow gruesome content about Gaza - imo it's not even a bad thing because you cannot comprehend how horrendous what's happening is without that and Zionists' lies are exposed.

Scorpio season is always about exposing more truth even if it's uncomfortable af, even if it's dark and raw and that's good that more and more people are realizing how what's happening in Palestine as a whole is far from normal - that's how you initiate actual changes.

Pluto squaring the Nodes for months (starting that intense journey back in march) and that aspect finally ending is also showing us all we have to do in order to not repeat the darkest times of history and how we can do better than that - we owe it to every oppressed group 🇵🇸❤️.

Also witnessing boycotts of major companies is very on brand for Scorpio energy (and it's nice to see the solidarity rn) : Scorpio won't ever support someone or something they hate, that is hurting their loved ones or that is evil generally speaking - and that's what the collective is experiencing rn.

Saturn is gonna station direct very soon (November, 4) and imo it could show even more mutual aid for palestinians, maybe actual international sanctions/that awaited cease-fire - just something actually working in order to save them and end that barbary we're witnessing.
