How have you been feeling the cosmic energy of 2025 so far?
I know it’s still only the beginning of the year,
but transformation and change are in the air
as one of the first major astrological transits of 2025
has just taken place – The Lunar Nodes moved into Pisces and Virgo on January 11th.
This is the beginning of an 18-month karmic cycle!
A cycle that is set to significantly transform and redefine both our individual
and collective focus right up until July 26, 2026.
So what are these Lunar Nodes anyway?
They are mathematical points where the Moon’s orbit intercepts the Sun’s elliptic plane.
They are also linked to the Eclipse cycles.
The Lunary Nodes consist of a North Node and a South Node,
always directly opposite each other,
which creates a powerful axis that only intensifies during Eclipse season.
They are a core part of astrology,
unlocking important insights into your karmic destiny and soul’s path.
Despite the fact that the points are not actual physical celestial bodies
such as planets or stars, they have profound influence
and connect us to our past, present, and future lives.
It is through understanding the Lunar Nodes that we can gain insights
into what our past lives may have been,
what our true purpose is in the present,
and what lessons we have still yet to master.
Here’s a little overview of what each Node represents:
The North Node: Rahu (Dragon’s Head)
This node is all about your destiny,
your soul’s journey and where you are headed in this lifetime.
Generally speaking it has an intense energy that urges you
to push beyond your limitations and evolve.
It’s all about growing, learning, and allowing yourself to go beyond the unknown
even when it feels uncomfortable.
The South Node: Ketu (Dragon’s Tail)
This node is all about your past-life karma, talents, and gifts.
Unlike the north node, this one is about what feels familiar,
the things tied to your instincts.It represents a more spiritual,
mystical energy that connects you your innate abilities.
The South Node offers more comfort than the North,
but this can also keep you stagnant and unmoving, trapped in outdated patterns.
This node urges you to surrender, balance and connect to your gifts.
The Lunar Nodes Shift into Virgo and Pisces
Since July 2023, the North Node has been falling in Aries
and the South Node falling in Libra.
As the North Node now shifts into Pisces and the South Node into Virgo,
this karmic cycle is calling us to take practical action
and also reconsider our priorities towards a more spiritual way of being.
One of the main themes will be to balance and harmonize the opposites of Pisces’s intuitive,
watery, spiritual energy with the grounded, earthy, practical approach of Virgo.
Think of it as a dance between surrender and action
– an integration of these two will help you to flow with the energy of these Lunar Nodes,
and align with your purpose in this lifetime.
As we experience Eclipses in these respective signs,
the cosmos will reveal more of the lessons, challenges,
and gifts that the Lunar Nodes have to offer us.
Here’s an interesting tidbit – the last time we had these Pisces and Virgo Lunar Nodes was during the time period of June 2006 – December 2007.
It’s a great idea to look back over that time period in your life
and think what themes may have been dominant then.
It doesn’t mean the same thing will happen again,
but similar energy might be present,
or you may experience a return to lessons learned then,
as you are pulled to revisit unresolved karmic patterns.
Things that may be highlighted include:
- Spiritual alignment: deeper spiritual and mystical understanding.
- A more holistic approach to life, including an emphasis on natural healing methods.
- Creative innovations.
- Increased awareness of our connection to nature and the natural world.
- Greater compassion
- Supernatural occurrences
- Greater emotional intelligence
- Integration of magical and intuitive energy with practical and analytical energy.
Who will Feel this Energy the Most?
Anyone with prominent placements in their birth charts of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius,
especially if they are the Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign.
If this is you, expect new opportunities and shifts,
transformations, and karmic lessons that set you on a higher path.
We will all feel the impact of this transit,
it’s just that these signs could experience greater influence individually.
The Takeaway
This Pisces/ Virgo nodal axis is all about aligning with our truest path in life,
finding meaning and connecting to a more service-focused way of living.
We will need to release control, surrender our desires to be perfect
and welcome in a more holistic approach to life
both as individuals and as a collective human family.
