1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of astrology with Alice. Today

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,839
we were returning to some birth chart basics by doing

3
00:00:10,839 --> 00:00:13,599
a whole episode on the north and South nodes. So

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:15,800
this is similar to what I did with Saturn a

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:18,879
couple months back, where first I really want to go

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,000
over what do the nodes mean in your birth chart

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,199
and also some variations they can take throughout various signs

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,600
and houses of your chart. And then in the second

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,679
portion of the podcast, I want to get into different

10
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:34,679
niche things you can look at with the nodes, like

11
00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:39,000
nodes in sinistry, the transiting nodes, and also the timing

12
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,840
of eclipses which is signified by the transit of the nodes.

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,200
So it's kind of a deep dive into a lot

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,880
of different things. Also, I really want to get into

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,920
like nodal oppositions and nodal returns, which we'll do. But yeah,

16
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:54,840
this hopefully can be like a resource you can return

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,679
back to get further insight into how do I interpret

18
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:00,840
this part of my chart. Before we get started, I

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,880
just had a couple of announcements. Want to thank everyone

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,560
for all the feedback on the Urinus transit episodes. Put

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,959
a ton of time and energy into recording those and

22
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:11,480
thank you to everyone that wrote in like we got

23
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:15,959
such good stories. Those continue, like the transit stories episodes

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,319
continue to be my most watched videos on YouTube, and

25
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:21,079
I wanted to call that out because that's what I

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,760
do in my workshops on substack. So if you're really

27
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:29,480
interested in like how do these transits and timing techniques

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,920
play out in real people's lives and wanting more of

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,959
that content, Every single month on substack for paid subscribers,

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,799
I host a live workshop where the first half of

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,680
the workshop is me teaching on a niche astrology topic,

32
00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:45,480
and then the second half is people sharing their charts

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,519
and we get into like, Okay, how did that actually

34
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:52,159
show up for you? What is your real lived experience

35
00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,359
with this transit or this solar return or this annual

36
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:59,680
perfection year. So it's a great learning resource if you

37
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:03,120
want to join our community over there on substack. The

38
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:05,959
next live workshop I'll be hosting on substack is going

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,039
to be on Sunday, May thirty first, and that one

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,240
will be a deep dive into Uranus, Pluto and Neptune transits.

41
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:16,719
I want to look at when they make exact aspects

42
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:19,759
to natal placements in your chart, and hopefully we get

43
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,800
some people sharing about experiences they've had when they've experienced

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,360
those bigger, more transformational transits, and also stay tuned for

45
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:31,879
in depth Gemini Season monthly horoscopes coming in about a

46
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:33,639
week from now. I think I'm going to publish those

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,039
on May twentieth. So that's an in depth look at

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,759
all the transits happening throughout Gemini season and what they

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,159
mean for your specific rising sign, a really helpful guide

50
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:47,159
for what to expect for the next month. So with

51
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:50,080
that being said, let's get into looking at the north

52
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,520
and South nodes and what they represent in your birth chart.

53
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:56,280
So I like to think of the entire birth chart

54
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,560
as like your purpose and these lessons that you're working

55
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,759
to understand more fully or tap into over the course

56
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:08,840
of your entire life. But within that whole birth chart,

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,560
I do like to zoom in specifically on where's the

58
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:14,080
north node and where is the South node? Because I

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,039
feel like when you lean more into those parts of

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,759
your chart, you automatically become more fulfilled and kind of

61
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:24,280
aware of natural skills you may possess, specifically with the

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120
south node, whereas the north node kind of shows, okay,

63
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,840
what am I here to achieve what may feel uncomfortable?

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840
But what do I need to develop more fully to

65
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,120
feel more fulfilled in my life? So personally, whenever I

66
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:41,680
feel off course or kind of like stuck or frustrated,

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,759
especially in terms of like career, I'm always like, wait,

68
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,759
what does my north node represent? Like how can we

69
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,680
develop that a bit more in order to feel like

70
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:53,520
happier with where I am? And I don't like to

71
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:56,080
think of the south node as being negative in the

72
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,960
north node being positive. It's really not that black and white.

73
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:01,319
Kind of what I just said before is like the

74
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,520
south note is skills you may come into this life

75
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,199
already possessing, like those qualities of the south node and

76
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,520
also the house in which it's placed, maybe just like

77
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,800
natural skills you have, but also like what feels comfortable

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,920
to you, And maybe you don't even recognize that as

79
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,920
a skill because it's just something that's more automatic and like, Okay,

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,600
that's just a part of my life, whereas the north

81
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:29,560
note is definitely something you're more aware of because it

82
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:33,720
does feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable in what it represents. Like

83
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:37,439
the sign and the house placement can feel scary at first,

84
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,079
especially like in the earlier part of your life until

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,240
you get these like bigger transits activating the nodes. It's

86
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,079
almost like you want to stay in the comfort zone

87
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,000
of the south node, but you need to leave that

88
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,680
eventually and lean into the uncomfortable like qualities of the

89
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,120
North node. And yeah, we'll get into this more. And

90
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,240
when we talk about transiting nodes, but at the timing

91
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,759
of like a nodal opposition or a nodal return, you're

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,240
really asked to check in with those natal no replacements

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,879
in your chart, like what is the sign what is

94
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,639
the houseplacement of the northern south nodes? How can we

95
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,839
release like unhealthy attachments in these areas and maybe lean

96
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:16,480
more into things that work for me now? And sometimes

97
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:21,800
you may encounter experiences that push you away from holding

98
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,319
on so tightly to the south node and move you

99
00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:28,879
more towards the purpose represented by the North node. So

100
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,959
first I want to start out by going over the

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,920
nodes through the specific signs and houses of the chart

102
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,759
and how they function differently when they appear in different

103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,199
signs and houses. So also just a backtrack, like if

104
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,040
you're completely unfamiliar with what the north and South nodes

105
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,920
are on the YouTube version, I have diagrams popping up,

106
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,959
but they're the horseshoe shaped symbols in your chart. The

107
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,639
north node is the upright one and the south node

108
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,120
is the like upside down horseshoe. But it's always important

109
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,120
with the nodes, or any other planet in your chart

110
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,079
for that matter. The nodes actually aren't a planet, but

111
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,839
any other chart placement for that matter, always to look

112
00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:11,399
at like, Okay, this sign in which it falls represents

113
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,839
the traits you're working to develop, whereas the house placement

114
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,600
in which it's located is where are those traits being

115
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:21,959
carried out? Like where is the action happening in like

116
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:24,759
one specific area of your life. And so since the

117
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,439
nodes are always in opposite signs, opposite houses to each other,

118
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:33,639
you're really working to establish a greater balance between those

119
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,040
two signs in those two houses throughout your life. It's

120
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,399
like you can't put all your energy into just one

121
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,560
of those houses without forgetting like the themes of the other,

122
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:44,959
and you kind of have to blend them and find

123
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,360
a way to make them work together. So I want

124
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,279
to start off with an example of someone who has

125
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:54,480
the south node in ares in their ninth house in

126
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,800
the north node in Libra their third house, So we're

127
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,000
going to blend both this sign and the house and

128
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,600
like how this has manifested for this person. But with

129
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,560
the south note in the ninth in aries, like there's

130
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,120
always just been a huge interest for this person in

131
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,000
foreign travel and like they're really not afraid, Like Aris

132
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:17,000
has that sense of like bravery and courage and independence

133
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,879
to travel solo to different countries and parts of the world,

134
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,120
and that's like a huge passion of theirs, just like

135
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:28,319
independence comes naturally to them. But with the north note

136
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,319
in Libra the third house first, like looking at that

137
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:35,519
topic of Libra and how that's so much about partnerships

138
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,160
and compromise and like learning how to work with people

139
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,720
that area of life has felt scary for this person

140
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,240
or just like Okay, I don't want to lose myself

141
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:46,759
in a relationship, or I don't know if I can

142
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,199
rely fully on someone else, Like I'm used to just

143
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,319
doing things myself and making my own decisions without really

144
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,560
needing to take someone else into consideration. So a lot

145
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,959
of what they're learning throughout this life is like how

146
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,639
do I show up as a more effective partner and

147
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,920
specifically through third house topics, because that's where the north

148
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:06,519
note is located. It's also like how do I take

149
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,879
what I've learned through these foreign travels and the knowledge

150
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,399
I've gained through this, and how can I apply it?

151
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,040
How can I apply it to like daily communication based

152
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,879
work and for them specifically, like filmmaking is a huge

153
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:25,040
interest also like quick social media clips kind of finding

154
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:30,120
ways to bring humor and like just everyday like accessibility

155
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,759
to like these bigger picture topics that they're wanting to

156
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:36,639
share about. And it's also like developing relationships through those

157
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,360
passions to like working on something like a film or

158
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:44,360
a social media work or I don't know, project someone

159
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:46,480
else is putting out, Like how are you learning how

160
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:50,919
to compromise and work together with someone on those communication

161
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,679
like third house topics. And this similar theme of like

162
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:57,720
partnership for self would also come up if you have

163
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:00,360
the north and south notes in the first and seventh

164
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,960
houses of your chart, Like maybe with the south note

165
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,320
in the seventh house, you're learning how to overcome like

166
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:09,000
codependent patterns and like being like overly relying on other

167
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:11,159
people or kind of like losing your sense of self

168
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,600
and relationships. But that may feel uncomfortable to like spend

169
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,440
more time alone getting to know yourself or like doing

170
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,200
things just for you and developing confidence in who you are.

171
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,039
While if it was flipped and it's like north nodes

172
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,519
in the seventh house south notes in the first house,

173
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,200
maybe again kind of like this example I just went

174
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,639
over of like a south note in Aris, for instance,

175
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,080
in a north node in Libra, it's there is more

176
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,720
of a like comfortability with being alone and doing things

177
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,879
on your own, where you really actually do need to

178
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,879
lean more into being comfortable opening up to people and

179
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,559
being part of like a partnership. And you may also

180
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:50,440
find with that no real placement that you can accomplish

181
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:53,440
a lot more with the help of other people, Like

182
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,679
things may just like open up and come more naturally

183
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,600
for you when you do learn to like get over

184
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,600
that fear. Then I also want to look at the

185
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,919
example of like having a north node in the tenth

186
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:04,799
house or the south in the south note in the

187
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,919
fourth house, or vice versa, like south note intent north

188
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,840
node in fourth Like I find a lot of the time,

189
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:14,960
it's a lot of lessons in life come through finding

190
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,360
this balance between like career and what do you want

191
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,039
for yourself in the world and what do you want

192
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:23,120
to achieve versus like duties you have to your family.

193
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:25,759
So specifically with the north note of the tenth house,

194
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,240
maybe you need to lean away from being like so

195
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:30,960
overly dependent on family or like looking to family for

196
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,360
direction or letting them dictate like how you live your

197
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:38,320
life and then going out on your own and discovering

198
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,320
your own ambition or like your own leadership qualities and

199
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:44,480
figuring out what do I actually want to commit to.

200
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,919
While if it was reverse like south note intenth, that's

201
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,039
probably something you're already comfortable with and maybe like overworking

202
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,480
or like taking on too much, maybe like a weakness,

203
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,200
whereas it's kind of like, okay, maybe you need to

204
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,720
reel it back in and like focus more on how

205
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,200
if family like isn't something that feels super comfortable to you,

206
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,519
how can I create a family on my own that

207
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:11,039
does and kind of find a stable like home environment

208
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,080
for myself. But again going back to like what signs

209
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,960
are these nodes placed done as well, So a tenth

210
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,720
house north note in Leo, it's like, Okay, you're finding

211
00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:23,639
your way in your career and developing more of a

212
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,440
name for yourself at work through Leo like quality, so creativity,

213
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:33,919
maybe fashion performance, like being comfortable, being more seen by people,

214
00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:36,360
whereas like a north note in Gemini in the tenth

215
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:39,480
House would be more about, okay, how are we developing

216
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,080
different ways to communicate in my career or writing skills

217
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:47,320
or public speaking skills and kind of learning all this

218
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,000
useful information and putting it towards these bigger career projects

219
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,480
and opportunities. And then to give another sign example, let's

220
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,919
look at like the north note if you have the

221
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,679
north notdon Virgo and the south note in Pice, maybe

222
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,720
like the topics associated with pisces, like being more spiritual,

223
00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:08,120
being more into mental health, or finding time to be alone,

224
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,200
and like being so selfless and like giving to people,

225
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,799
that may be something that comes naturally to you, whereas

226
00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:21,120
the Virgo traits may feel unfamiliar, like okay, how but

227
00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:23,000
it's kind of like you have to lean more into

228
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:26,240
the Virgo traits of finding a greater routine for yourself,

229
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,919
not getting so lost in like the mental stuff and

230
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,080
coming back down and like realizing, how can I take

231
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,600
better care of my body? How can I nurture myself

232
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:39,559
in that way? And how might routine and I don't know,

233
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:44,200
finding time for exercise or like being more structured with

234
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:48,080
like meal planning or schedules. How is that not necessarily

235
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:51,639
a bad thing or like a boring thing? And actually

236
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:54,080
how might it bring you greater in our peace and

237
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,799
maybe help with the mental health or a spiritual stuff

238
00:12:57,799 --> 00:13:01,399
represented by Pisces and like we can reverse this same

239
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,279
thing where it's okay, maybe you're already comfortable with the

240
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,200
Virgo like routine stuff, and I would say with a

241
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:10,240
south note in Virgo, maybe there are like some perfectionist

242
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:15,639
tendencies or like I don't know, a tendency to like

243
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,480
overwork yourself, whereas with the north node in Pisces, it's like, okay,

244
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:24,919
maybe you step back from like obsessing over the little

245
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,159
detail so much and look at what is the bigger

246
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,639
picture I want to work towards. How can I find

247
00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:32,600
deeper meaning in this work? And how might there be

248
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,919
spiritual interest you want to pursue further rather than just

249
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,240
like things that are seen in like you're in your

250
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:44,879
everyday life. And then I'm thinking of like another sign

251
00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:48,200
example came to me of like the Leo Aquarius axis,

252
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,159
which is interesting because we're about to go into that,

253
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,799
like in general, as the transit North node moves into

254
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,799
Aquarius and the Transit South node moves into Leo, and

255
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:01,039
with those two, it's like Lee is so much about

256
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,960
like the self and doing things that serve your own

257
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,759
personal creativity and like putting yourself first, whereas Aquarius is

258
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:12,440
about doing things that help other people or being part

259
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,519
of like a larger community, like what serves the community,

260
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,639
or how can you develop greater connections with others? So

261
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,000
like we're all about to experience this of how can

262
00:14:23,039 --> 00:14:26,720
we put like our own ego stuff aside and our

263
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:31,360
own like obsession with ourselves becoming like less important to

264
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:35,039
do things that serve other people. But it could be

265
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,000
interesting to go back to, Okay, what was happening in

266
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,120
twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen when the North node was in

267
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,080
Leo and the South node was an Aquarius. I feel

268
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,720
like there was this theme around that time of lean

269
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:50,600
more into your personal creativity and develop like what sets

270
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,279
you apart instead of trying to blend in with like

271
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,240
group mentality type of thing. Then I quickly just want

272
00:14:57,279 --> 00:14:59,480
to run through other ones I haven't touched upon yet,

273
00:14:59,559 --> 00:15:02,559
like six in twelfth House North nodes. I just find

274
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,639
that's a life that's a lot about balancing work you

275
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:08,919
do for other people and like again kind of not

276
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:12,480
overworking yourself or not taking on too much and losing

277
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:15,960
sight of the bigger picture. It's also about like learning

278
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,840
how to blend spiritual interests with the work that you're doing,

279
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,879
or doing work that feels like it has a deeper

280
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,240
meaning or is helping people in a bigger way and

281
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,399
figuring out what that means for you. And then I personally,

282
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,120
I have my north note in the Fifth House, my

283
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,120
south note in the eleventh. If you have it reverse,

284
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:37,120
maybe you feel some of these themes too, just like

285
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,120
in the reverse of it. But I do find that

286
00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:43,080
it's easier, like, especially when I was younger, to just

287
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,519
go along with what other people were doing and instead

288
00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:50,000
with the north note in the Fifth House, it's like, Okay,

289
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,120
how do I show off my own creativity and not

290
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:57,080
care so much about getting criticized for that or I

291
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,240
don't know. Also, like the topic of children, like the

292
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,840
Fifth House is literally pregnancy in children, And for a while,

293
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,360
like didn't have an interest in children, didn't think that

294
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,000
was something that I wanted as an adult, but it

295
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,279
was so interesting, like at the time of my nodle

296
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,320
return in my late twenties, like at twenty eight years old,

297
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:20,440
when actually no, sorry, that was my nodle opposition, but

298
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:23,200
still like huge transit involving the nodes. That was like

299
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,120
when the first inkling of okay, wait, I actually do

300
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:28,919
want to have kids in the future that started to

301
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,759
come to me. So becoming more comfortable with like the

302
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,960
relationship I have with children too, in addition to building

303
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,759
more confidence and like self esteem and not being so

304
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:43,360
afraid to share off my creativity. But yeah, over time,

305
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:46,080
I've noticed like a pulling away from the eleventh House

306
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,559
almost or just like a need to approach the eleventh

307
00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:52,600
House in a different way, like, for instance, instead of

308
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:55,840
like joining a sorority in college, like that did not

309
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,440
work out at all for me. I found it super

310
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,320
frustrating to be like forced to act a certain way

311
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,200
or attend certain meetings that didn't really make sense to me.

312
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:09,640
But like, through the creative work and like the astrology

313
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,319
that I do, I'm again finding myself back to like

314
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,200
how can I create greater community around what I do

315
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,160
and wanting to explore that further. It's kind of like

316
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,039
not needing to think like the group, but still needing

317
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,759
to create some type of balance with my own creativity

318
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:29,000
and community stuff throughout my life. So again, if you

319
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:32,359
have fifth and eleventh house nodes, maybe that's relevant for

320
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,200
you too. And then I think the only house placements

321
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,839
I haven't touched upon our second and eighth houses. Those

322
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,400
have a lot to do with money and becoming more comfortable,

323
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,079
like recognizing the value you bring to work. I would

324
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:46,519
also say it has a lot to do with like

325
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,920
merging finances with other people, or becoming comfortable allowing people

326
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,920
to step up and pay for you, or sharing resources

327
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,359
in a bigger way like that would be something that

328
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,359
may feel scary if you have the North in the

329
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,640
eighth house, whereas if you the South node, maybe it's like, Okay,

330
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,640
you're used to getting financial help from other people, but

331
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,240
in this lifetime you're working towards the second house of

332
00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:13,920
like creating your own wealth and recognizing the skills you

333
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,160
bring to the workplace and setting certain rates for yourself

334
00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:19,640
and speaking up about like okay, I need to make

335
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,440
this much money. The second eighth nodes are great for

336
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:25,920
like people who want to work for themselves, like entrepreneurial

337
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,559
type endeavors would definitely lean into that if you have

338
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,200
second and eighth house north nodes. And that's something that

339
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,759
comes up a lot when the nodes transit through your

340
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:38,079
second and eighth houses, like a desire to quit such

341
00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:41,440
a structured work environment and go off and do your

342
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,200
own thing and take greater control of your finances. So

343
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,599
it's kind of interesting, how, like what's even if you

344
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,400
don't have the nodes in like a certain house, Like

345
00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:52,359
you're obviously only going to have them in two houses

346
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,839
of your chart, but like you're gonna get the activations

347
00:18:55,839 --> 00:18:59,000
of all twelve houses so many times throughout your life,

348
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,559
Like how can you fir or grow into one specific

349
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:06,319
house that the north note is transiting while releasing Maybe

350
00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:11,119
I don't know, patterns holding you back or mindset's not

351
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,799
serving you in the house that the south note is transiting.

352
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,359
Before we get further into nodal transits, though, I just

353
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,359
wanted to speak a little about the north and south

354
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,680
nodes in sinistry. So this is like for those of

355
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:26,000
who aren't familiar with sinistry, it's when you overlay someone

356
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,160
else's birth chart on top of yours and look at

357
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,039
the chart comparisons. So I actually find the notes to

358
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,640
be so interesting in sinistry, and people that just feel

359
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,519
very familiar to you, like it's an easy type relationship

360
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:42,799
or like an instantaneous like I feel like I've known

361
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:47,000
you before. This person feels like home. I find that

362
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,400
a lot with south node connections in sinistry, which is

363
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,759
like representative kind of like of what the south node

364
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,680
represents in your birth charts, stuff you're already comfortable with.

365
00:19:56,839 --> 00:20:00,839
So when someone's planet touches your south node, you're already

366
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,079
comfortable with them. Whereas when someone's planets touch your north node,

367
00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:09,039
maybe that's a relationship that requires more effort and work,

368
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,039
and maybe that's a relationship that's not that easy. But

369
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,640
through the experience with that person, like you're forced to

370
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,000
grow in a bigger way and really important relationships in

371
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:21,839
your life. You will notice connections with the nodes, whether

372
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,279
that's someone's moon falling on your north or south node,

373
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,759
or maybe your node is on someone's mid heaven. And

374
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:31,119
it could even feel like if you have strong nodal

375
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,720
aspects with someone, like the way that you met could

376
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,240
have felt like faded or like how did we meet

377
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:39,039
in such a random way, like we were just always

378
00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:41,920
meant to meet, Like I have a good astrologer friend

379
00:20:43,279 --> 00:20:46,000
who also lives in Brooklyn, and we were at the

380
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:49,880
astrology conference Norwak in Seattle in twenty twenty two, like

381
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,440
across the country. I just happened to sit next to him,

382
00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:55,839
didn't know him at all. We get to talking, we

383
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,559
find out we live in this same exact neighborhood in Brooklyn,

384
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,359
two blocks from each other, while we're at this conference

385
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,119
in Seattle, and then through that we developed a relationship.

386
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Back in New York, he hosted like astrology salons at

387
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:14,000
his apartment and I've learned a lot from him, and

388
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:17,799
we have really strong nodal sinistry. He's like a Sagittarius rising.

389
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:21,799
I think my north node in Sagittarius falls exactly on

390
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:28,440
his ascendant and my south node falls exactly on his descendant,

391
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:32,079
like to the degree. And that that's just like someone

392
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,759
in my life where it's like how did I meet you?

393
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,759
Like out of all those people at the astrology conference,

394
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:38,559
out of all the places we could have been from,

395
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:41,559
we end up living two blocks from each other. Besides

396
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,960
looking at exact aspects made with the nodes in someone

397
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,400
else's chart, you can also look at like what houses

398
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,319
do my nodes activate in that person's chart, and what

399
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,000
houses in my chart do the other person's nodes activate? So,

400
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,920
for example, like my dad's north node falls in my

401
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,519
second house. He's a north note in Virgo and that's

402
00:22:04,519 --> 00:22:07,839
my second house, and then his south node falls in Pisces,

403
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,799
my eighth house, and like he manages a lot of

404
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:14,880
the finances around my business. He helps me with my taxes,

405
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,000
so that like, even though that's not like the whole

406
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:22,319
relationship that we have together, it is interesting. It's like

407
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,839
that's not always the parent child dynamic that you have,

408
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
like a parent helping your business. So that's become really

409
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:32,000
key in our relationship over the years, and I believe

410
00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:34,680
it's due to that like nodal activation. But like you

411
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,000
could see, okay, the people that you work with, for instance,

412
00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:43,839
like to their nodes fall in your tenth fourth house

413
00:22:43,839 --> 00:22:46,480
access or your six twelfth or again like your second

414
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,799
eighth is there like that work career like setting going

415
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:52,640
on in the relationship. I've also like had roommates where

416
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,119
like their north note is Scorpio that falls into my

417
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,039
fourth house, and it's like literally that's someone I lived with.

418
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,400
My sister north node falls in Libra, that's my third

419
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,160
house of siblings, like her literal north node is in

420
00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:08,960
my third house of siblings, and that's our relationship. So yeah,

421
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,799
it can be very literal, like what's the vibe of

422
00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:13,240
the relationship, how did you guys meet? What are the

423
00:23:13,319 --> 00:23:18,319
qualities you're working on in this relationship? And yeah, what

424
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,920
are you working towards as like a partnership basically, Now,

425
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,680
let's get into the nodes in transit. So you're obviously

426
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,880
you're born with the north node in one house of

427
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,880
your chart, the South note in another. But where the

428
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,640
nodes currently are, they move backwards through the zodiac signs,

429
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:38,400
So if we're starting in Ares, they'll they won't move

430
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,960
on to Taurus, like the North note will move backwards

431
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,839
to Pisces and Virgo, and then it'll move back again

432
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,799
to Aquarius and Leo and so on and so forth,

433
00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:49,680
so they'll move against the direction of all the planets.

434
00:23:50,839 --> 00:23:54,079
And the North and South notes spend about eighteen months

435
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,559
in one sign in one house of your chart, so

436
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,440
you'll get this year and a half period of like

437
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:02,720
intense focus on the two houses that the north and

438
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:06,160
South nodes are activating during that time, and the nodes

439
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:10,200
are the biggest Transit four change. They really show where

440
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,640
are you experiencing these major endings but also new beginnings.

441
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,440
How are you wanting to shift your life in a

442
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,079
bigger way? What are you working hard to develop versus

443
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,680
like what are you feeling called to release during that

444
00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:25,160
year and a half long period and out of the

445
00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:29,079
entire eighteen months or so that the North and South

446
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,599
nodes transit through a pair of signs. So like, for instance,

447
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,039
the North note is still in Pisces. It's been there

448
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,359
since January of twenty twenty five. It will finally leave

449
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,960
Pisces at the end of July of twenty twenty six,

450
00:24:42,079 --> 00:24:43,680
so we just got a couple months left of that.

451
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,640
And same with the South note in Virgo, it's been

452
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,000
there the whole time the North node has been in Pisces.

453
00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:53,799
If you have planets in those two signs, or like

454
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:57,039
whatever sign in north and South nodes might be transitting

455
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:59,759
at any given time, you always want to look at

456
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,720
in does the transit North node of the transit South

457
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:07,960
node reach an exact chart placement? So I talked about

458
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,039
in like the Astrology of pregnancy episode, how when the

459
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:13,759
north node met up with my Pisce's moon to the

460
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:17,559
exact degree. That was the month that I got pregnant,

461
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,759
not any other month out of the north node transiting

462
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:25,200
that sign, it like had to activate the moon exactly.

463
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:27,759
And also like, for instance, when my husband and I

464
00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:31,480
met and started dating, the North node was transitting through Gemini,

465
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,279
his seventh house, and he is his venus in Gemini,

466
00:25:35,559 --> 00:25:39,279
and our relationship started and got going when the North

467
00:25:39,319 --> 00:25:44,079
node exactly moved across his venus in Gemini. So out

468
00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:49,039
of that entire seventh house transit, the most pivotal thing

469
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:52,079
in the relationship happened when it hit that exact natal

470
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,640
placement to the degree. And also like if you don't

471
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,680
have planets in the first or seventh houses, but the

472
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,519
nodes happened to be transiting there, check like when do

473
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:02,920
they hit the exact degree of your ascendant and your

474
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,599
descendent access That might be a key month in terms

475
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,799
of like realizing really important things about your identity and

476
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:12,079
like what you want for yourself. That would be the

477
00:26:12,079 --> 00:26:16,400
theme of the ascendant versus like is there something pivotal

478
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,200
happening in a relationship also at that same time or

479
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,960
are you making realizations about what do you want for

480
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,839
what do you want out of a partner in the future. So, yeah,

481
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,960
exact timing of when nodes hit natal placements is so

482
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,920
key to look at. And in addition to that, you

483
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,880
can also track like what are the eclipse dates during

484
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,880
a specific year, because the transiting nodes indicate what signs

485
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,880
the solar and lunar eclipses are happening in. So we've

486
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,359
had eclipses obviously across Pisces and Virgo for the last

487
00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:52,079
year and a half to two years now, and out

488
00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:54,759
of the entire time, has there been a specific eclipse,

489
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,079
like if you have Pisces or Virgo planets, has there

490
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,160
been a specific eclipse that has hit an exact chart

491
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,079
placement like, so you'll want to note, okay, out of

492
00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:07,599
these six eclipses occurring or so across Pisces Virgo, like

493
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:12,359
which one falls the closest to my son or my

494
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,519
mid Heaven or my Saturn And you can look at, Okay,

495
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,240
that eclipse represented by the transitin nodes is going to

496
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,720
represent like a bigger shift going on in my life

497
00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:25,559
having to do with the topics of that planet also

498
00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:28,759
with the nodes transiting through just like these two signs

499
00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:31,880
these two opposing signs, you will also want to check,

500
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,359
like what are the houses and the signs square to that.

501
00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:39,440
So again going back to how the north nodes in

502
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,559
Pisces south loads in Virgo, you can look at what

503
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:43,839
houses are associated with those signs in my chart, but

504
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:49,559
also what houses are associated associated with Gemini and Sagittarius

505
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,519
because those are square, and do you have planets there?

506
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,240
And have those planets been a bigger deal with the

507
00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:59,960
Pisces in Virgo nodal transit too, Like just because they're

508
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,480
not exactly aspected, still, the fact that they're even just

509
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:07,359
square to this nodal transit will make them more relevant

510
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,799
during that time. And yeah, as we look ahead to

511
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:12,319
the second half of twenty twenty six and into twenty

512
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,400
twenty seven, as the north node moves into Aquarius and

513
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,440
the South node moves into Leo around late July of

514
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:23,359
this year, you can know like after that point, moving

515
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,799
into second half of twenty twenty six, there's gonna be

516
00:28:25,839 --> 00:28:28,599
a new energy where these two new houses of your

517
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,279
chart are activated and you're wanting to see growth happen there.

518
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:35,599
It's like, Okay, we're finally pivoting away from Piss's Virgo

519
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,480
now and Leo Aquarius is about to demand a lot

520
00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:42,480
more of our attention. What houses are those two in

521
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:44,960
your chart? Like how are you now trying to strike

522
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,279
a balance between those two areas? And really like when

523
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:51,599
the nodes first and are a new house and new

524
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,119
sign of your chart, it can feel like abrupt almost

525
00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:59,039
like wait, why does this area of my life? Like

526
00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:02,200
why does it suddenly need change now? Or again? Like

527
00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:05,599
kind of uncomfortable, especially with the north node transit. But

528
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,000
over the course of that eighteen month nodal transit through

529
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:12,400
a pair of opposing signs, you get more comfortable and

530
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,759
like you learn the lessons and you make the changes

531
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,680
associated with that nodal transit. But yeah, if you revisit

532
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,359
the episode I did last September called Embracing Change with Eclipses,

533
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:27,720
I did a bit more on like Piscey's Virgo eclipses specifically,

534
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,839
and if you want to read more into that. And lastly,

535
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,599
I just want to turn back to talking a little

536
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,839
bit about nodal returns and nodal oppositions. I get a

537
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:41,400
ton of questions about these two transits. A nodal return

538
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,559
is when the transit north node returns to the sign

539
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,039
in which your natal north note is in. So if

540
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:51,119
looking at your birth chart, you have your north node

541
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,680
in your birth chart in Aquarius, in your south note

542
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,279
in Leo, you can know, Okay, the next year and

543
00:29:57,319 --> 00:30:01,440
a half to two year period with the nodes, with

544
00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:04,160
the transiting nodes now moving into those two signs, are

545
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,559
about to be really pivotal for me. I find the

546
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:11,079
time of nodal returns and for contacts like this happens

547
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,079
every eighteen to nineteen years in your life. So your

548
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:18,759
first nodal return in your lifetime does not happen until

549
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:21,519
you're eighteen or nineteen years old, and then you get

550
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:25,200
another one right around the age of like thirty six,

551
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,319
and then you could keep going like in eighteen nineteen

552
00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:31,319
year increments from there. And these ages are big deals

553
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:34,000
because it's like, Okay, you've been living your life one

554
00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:35,960
way up until that point, and then maybe at the

555
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,799
time of a nodal return, something may feel a bit

556
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,640
off or like you're being nudged back in the direction

557
00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:45,880
of like hey, don't forget what the north node represents,

558
00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:49,240
like maybe the south node stuff stops working so easily

559
00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:52,119
around that time, and things may fall away from your

560
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,440
life that are represented by your natal south node placement,

561
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:59,759
but opportunities surrounding the north nodes start to open up

562
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:01,720
a lot more at the time of a nodal return,

563
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:05,599
and within those eighteen nineteen year increments, every nine years

564
00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:08,079
you'll get a nodal opposition. So the first one you

565
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,799
get is at age nine, and then the second one

566
00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:12,400
you get is in your late twenties, kind of the

567
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,160
lead up to the Saturn return age twenty seven twenty eight,

568
00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:19,319
and then again I guess the next one would be

569
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,200
early forties. What is nine years on from thirty six,

570
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,920
I guess like around forty two forty three, that critical

571
00:31:27,079 --> 00:31:29,400
period that's like a huge age just in general, like

572
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,319
early forties. I'm curious to see what happens when I

573
00:31:32,319 --> 00:31:35,960
get there myself. But I would say the way a

574
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,920
nodal opposition might be different is that, rather than like

575
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,440
moving away from the south node so much, you're being

576
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:48,160
asked to embrace the south node because the transit north

577
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:53,160
node has reached the sign in which your natal south

578
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,000
node is located. So it's kind of like, Okay, how

579
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:59,279
are there limiting patterns or limiting beliefs that I'm still

580
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:01,920
holding on to the area of the self node. How

581
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,400
can we release that but also learn to develop healthier

582
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:10,920
traits associated with the self node, like not forgetting it entirely,

583
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,559
not moving away from it entirely, but changing up your

584
00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:17,160
approach to that part of your life. So like going

585
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,640
back to let's say you have your natal south node

586
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,440
in the sixth house and at the time of your

587
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,519
nodal opposition, the transit north node moves into your six

588
00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:27,759
house and meets up with your natal self node there.

589
00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:31,200
It's not so much about like releasing situations from work

590
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,200
or having negative experiences involving your job come up, but

591
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:39,519
more like, Okay, how can we redefine the relationship we

592
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,240
have to work, health and routine And maybe one way

593
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:47,160
of going about these areas isn't working well for me anymore.

594
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,599
But how are we now finding deeper meaning in the

595
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,799
work that we do, or new opportunities that feel more

596
00:32:53,799 --> 00:32:55,759
in line with who you are as a person, or

597
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,400
starting to open up in your career. So yeah, nodle

598
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,400
oppositions and nodal returns there not the most comfortable, but

599
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,000
they really set you off. I like to frame them

600
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,039
as like, Okay, it's a check in to be like,

601
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:10,039
am I doing what's most in line with like what

602
00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:12,400
I want to be doing, And then they kind of

603
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,599
push you off in a new direction if that's not

604
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,880
the case. But yeah, that's all I have on this

605
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,359
episode of the North and South Nodes. These little bite

606
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,200
size birth chart placements slash transit episodes are super fun

607
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,440
to do, so let me know if there's specific ones

608
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,119
you really want me to do next in the next

609
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,240
few months. Other than that, I'll see you back here

610
00:33:33,319 --> 00:33:36,160
next Thursday for the Gemini season Monthly Forecasts
