At the beginning of 2025, the Lunar Nodes, after a nineteen-year orbit around the zodiac, return to the transition between Aries and Pisces. On the night of January 28 to 29, 2025, the Lunar North Node, also known as the Dragon’s Head, will move from Aries to Pisces.
The current shift of the Lunar Nodes will mainly affect the following signs: Aries, Libra, Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, Cancer, and Scorpio. The main axis is Aries-Libra, which will change to Pisces-Virgo.
What the new transition of the Lunar Nodes brings
Pisces (North Node)
Conjunction
This aspect brings key encounters and opportunities for new directions, often in the area of spiritual or creative development. People born under the sign of Pisces can expect important decisions that will influence their future path, new possibilities from small business offers, advantageous purchases and contracts, to major life steps and changes.
- Recommendation: Follow your intuition, be open to change, and engage in what brings joy and higher meaning. This year and a half is a period when intuition can play a crucial role in deciding your life direction.
Squares with Gemini and Sagittarius
Gemini and Sagittarius are air and fire signs, meaning they are dynamic, communicative, and action-oriented. Squares with the North Node in Pisces can bring the following challenges:
- Gemini: They may experience confusion in relationships, especially regarding communication and expressing their feelings. It can be difficult to achieve clarity and understanding, which can lead to misunderstandings and uncertainty. Furthermore, the next year and a half will still be under some pressure from situations that arose earlier, such as unfinished studies, work obligations, or a job that no longer satisfies them.
- Recommendation: Try to slow down, spend more time listening, and carefully formulate your thoughts. It is important not to rush decisions and focus on clarity in goals.
- Sagittarius: This aspect may bring challenges in planning and achieving set goals. Sagittarius may feel restless and frustrated because their usually clear vision may now be blurred. Furthermore, the next year and a half will still be under some pressure from situations that arose earlier, such as unfinished projects or unsatisfactory work.
- Recommendation: Be patient and try to adapt to changing circumstances. It is important to keep an open mind and be prepared for possible changes in plans.
Trines with Cancer and Scorpio
Trines with Cancer and Scorpio provide stability and support in personal and work dealings. A great period for making agreements, exams, or seeking harmony.
- Cancer: The Lunar Node in Pisces will provide Cancer with stability in emotional life and support harmony in family relationships. The Lunar Nodes can help Cancer handle challenging situations and show the way forward.
- Scorpio: For Scorpio, this will be a period of intense transformational processes. Trines provide favorable conditions for clarifying long-term plans and improving interpersonal relationships.
The North Node in Pisces over the next year and a half brings opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, deep introspection, and new beginnings. Be open to change and listen to your intuition.
Virgo (South Node)
Characteristics of the South Node
The South Node, often referred to as the Dragon’s Tail, symbolizes the past, karma, and areas of life that we have brought from the past. It is the point where we need to deal with our ingrained behavior patterns, habits, and experiences. Archetypically, the Dragon’s Tail represents those parts of ourselves that we have already mastered but that can stagnate and hinder our further growth.
Psychological and Archetypal Aspects
- Control and Details: In Virgo, the South Node can bring a tendency towards perfectionism, detailed planning, and the need to have everything under control. Virgos will be confronted with what no longer works and will be forced by circumstances to release this control and accept more flexibility.
- Recommendation: Learn to delegate, don’t try to do everything yourself, and focus on a broader perspective. Realize that perfectionism can hinder your personal growth and slow down your pace.
Squares with Gemini and Sagittarius
Gemini and Sagittarius are dynamic signs that focus on communication and action. Squares with the South Node in Virgo can bring the following challenges:
- Gemini: They may face challenges in work matters, especially regarding organization and communication in teams. Uncertainties and misunderstandings can lead to frustration and confusion. Moreover, over the next year and a half, they will still be under some pressure from situations that arose earlier, such as unfinished studies, work obligations, or a job that no longer satisfies them.
- Recommendation: Try to structure your workday, spend more time planning, and improve your communication skills. Learn to be patient and find clear and effective ways of communicating.
- Sagittarius: They may face challenges in achieving their goals, especially in academic or educational activities. Sagittarius may feel restless and have difficulty concentrating on details. Furthermore, over the next year and a half, they will still be under some pressure from situations that arose earlier, such as unfinished projects or unsatisfactory work.
- Recommendation: Be patient, focus on long-term goals, and find ways to improve your focus and organization. Learn to manage stress and find ways to stay motivated and focused.
Sextiles with Cancer and Scorpio
- Cancer: The Lunar Node in Virgo provides stability and support in personal and family relationships. This time is ideal for addressing long-term plans and improving interpersonal relationships.
- Scorpio: For Scorpio, this will be a period of intense personal growth and transformation. Sextiles provide favorable conditions for clarifying long-term plans and improving interpersonal relationships.
The South Node in Virgo teaches us that sometimes we need to release old patterns and accept new ways of thinking and acting. It is a period when we can learn to be more flexible and open to new possibilities.
Conjunction of the North Lunar Node with Venus and Neptune
The North Lunar Node is now in conjunction with Venus and Neptune. This aspect, although traditionally associated with beauty and inspiration, can also bring confusion, strange thoughts, and difficulty in problem-solving.
Psychological and Interpersonal Aspects
- Venus: Traditionally associated with beauty, art, harmony, and relationships. In conjunction with the Lunar Node, its energy can bring complications in relationships, confused feelings, and uncertainty about emotional needs. Archetypically, Venus represents the goddess of love and beauty, who can bring blissful moments as well as confusion when our expectations and reality are at odds.
- Neptune: Associated with inspiration, intuition, illusion, and art. This aspect can make reality seem foggy and hard to grasp. Illusions and deception can be more frequent, and it is important to remember that not everything that seems true is actually true. Neptune is archetypically associated with the god of the sea, symbolizing the depths of emotions, intuition, and mystery, but also illusion and loss of contact with reality.
Decision-making for the Future
- The conjunction of these three bodies can lead to uncertainties about life direction and the future. It may seem that unusual or strange thoughts are emerging, disrupting our decision-making processes. This triple conjunction can bring genius ideas that seem inspired by higher powers, but also significant errors if we let ourselves be carried away by illusions and fantasies.
- Recommendation: Be cautious with important decisions, take time for reflection, and try to gather as much information as possible before taking a step forward. Trust your intuitive feelings but also confront them with reality and the opinions of others. Realize that what seems like a genius idea may actually require careful verification.
Impact on Individual Signs
- Aries: This conjunction can bring impulsive decisions and confusion in relationships. Aries should pay special attention to their emotional reactions and try to manage them.
- Libra: They may experience an increased need for harmony and beauty in their lives but may also face challenges in relationships. Libra should seek balance between their own needs and the needs of others.
- Gemini: Communication can be confusing and full of illusions. Gemini should be cautious when expressing their thoughts and double-check everything.
- Sagittarius: They may face uncertainty about their goals and plans. Sagittarius should be patient and beware of relying too much on intuition without verifying facts.
Influence on Water Signs of the Zodiac
The Lunar Nodes will be on the Pisces-Virgo axis for a year and a half. The shift of the Lunar Nodes into the water sign of Pisces will impact all water signs of the zodiac (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) as follows:
- Cancer: The Lunar Node in Pisces will bring Cancer stability in emotional life and support harmony in family relationships. Cancers may find new ways to care for themselves and their loved ones. This time is ideal for creating a safe and peaceful home. During this period, Cancers may face other influences, such as Saturn, which can bring challenges mainly in relationships and work and life paths. However, the Lunar Nodes can help them balance these situations and find a way forward.
- Scorpio: For Scorpio, this will be a period of intense transformational processes. Personal and spiritual connections may deepen. Scorpios will be confronted with what needs to change to continue their development. With the influence of other aspects, or the passage of Lilith through their sign, Scorpios may face challenging situations, but the Lunar Nodes can show them the way and help find balance.
- Pisces: Pisces will be at the center of this cycle and will need to use their intuition and spiritual strength to handle all the challenges that come. This time will bring deep introspection and the opportunity to find new paths to personal and spiritual growth. The challenging situations for Pisces may be further complicated by other aspects
