Or how to move forward with a new sense of self!

On July 17th, the North Node of the Moon associated with destiny, momentum and hunger for life is moving from steady Taurus to bold Aries and the South Lunar Node, related to deep inner work and karmic release is shifting from profound and introspective Scorpio to diplomatic and balanced Libra.

This change will impact the world at large, inviting the collective to use the tools of the star signs Aries to improve as people and nations but also to release what is no longer serving us (all the toxic traits that belong to the Libra archetype). The Lunar Nodes entering new signs is also an individual process: the Aries and Libra houses in every person’s chart will be impacted for the next 18 months, offering you opportunities to evolve and transform into a more complete person.

This shift happens on two very significant levels. Firstly, the Nodes are moving from fixed signs to cardinal signs. It means that the energy is flowing from endurance, stability and perseverance to initiating fresh beginnings. The energy is strong, clear and goal-oriented. There’s a will to move forward, in direct motion and to start something. Secondly, the Nodes are moving from an Earth/Water axis, with an emphasis on feminine or yin energy (grounding of the physical body, fertility of the land, emotions and deep introspective work) to a Fire/Air axis, very masculine or yang, associated with passion, drive, what lights up the soul and the mind, logic and reasoning.

For the next 18 months, the Universe is inviting us to work on ourselves, our identity and personal needs and to learn how to balance our own individuality with the mechanisms of a group or a relationship. What do we want to start and build for this coming year and a half? What kind of personal or work project seem fun or interesting enough to dive in? Where in our personal relationships could we benefit from more bravery and boldness? Which tools can we use to release toxic patterns such as people pleasing or avoidance? What choices do we need to make in order to grow on a personal and intimate level?

These questions can find answers throughout this transit and it’s important to remember that we don’t need to rush. Let’s focus on Aries positive sides!

Freedom lies in being bold.
