At the end
of August, the Moon’s nodes shifted from our last lessons of the
Sagittarius/Gemini plane to the lessons of Scorpio/Taurus (from August 29th, 2012 until February 18th,
2014). The Lunar nodes, in scientific terms, are the points where the orbit of
the Moon crosses the ecliptic. The astrological implications of the lunar nodes
are about karmic lessons, and the necessary balance between what we’ve already
learned and no longer need to focus on (The Dragon's Tail: South Node in Taurus) and what we must
learn now, however uncomfortable and uncharted the territory, for the growth of
our souls (The Dragon's Head: North Node in Scorpio).
Each of us
has our own natal nodes and lessons, which tend to answer the age-old
questions, ‘Why am I here?’ and ‘What is my soul’s purpose?’ For example, I
(and those around the same age as me) have the lessons of North Node in Cancer
and South Node in Capricorn…our soul’s growth comes from spiritual nurturance
and caretaking, learning the value of emotional fulfillment as we move away
from our engrained urges to acquire fame, recognition, and materialistic
pursuits.
But the
positions the Nodes are in at the present moment affect the collective soul’s
growth of our entire global community…so while we are each having our own
soul’s intentions directing us one way, those lessons are also being influenced
on a global scale by the current position of the Nodes.
And it’s
that shift that I’m talking about now…the one we’re all feeling. Now that the
South Node is in Taurus, we’re being introduced to the lesson of
comfort-seeking habits and stubborn refusal to change. We’re currently so complacent
in indulging our pleasures and inflexible in our behavior patterns that we end
up gripping too tightly to what we have always done rather than examining our
motives in depth and employing solutions that could improve our situations. The
North Node in Scorpio directs our paths toward healing on the deepest level,
finding the strength to overcome our fears and dive into the unknown in order
to bring our hidden power to the surface. Over-indulging becomes problematic
during this time because we measure our self-worth by what we have and don’t
have…and we may be tempted by the momentary gratification of buying and
consuming what ever is most convenient or habitual. Our powers of deep
discernment need to be cultivated now instead of covering up the truths
confronting us under layers of superficial embellishments, or accepting things
at face-value just because it’s easier than investigating for ourselves.
This axis
can be very intense, making it difficult to make the changes you really want to
make in our lives and the world in which we live. In-depth analysis of every
situation instead of focusing only on what’s being presented on the surface is
where we move past the old ways of thinking and come into our collective
ability to discover the truth that will set us free from limiting or
destructive patterns. One of the things you’ll see during this transit is a
greater tendency to be a ‘stick in the mud’, bullishly digging our heels and
halting all progress without concern for how it effects the productivity and
well being of everyone else. Our politicians are already skilled in this, yet
now is the time they will be faced with its negative implications as more and
more people will examine their true motives and learn how to take back their
power of choice and demand the collective focus to be on the most important
changes that need to happen rather than the pretentious ‘problems’ that are meant
to distract us from achieving our goals. This is the time we learn the lesson
that power is not where it has always appeared to be, it’s been patiently
hanging back in the shadows of our collective psyche waiting for the right time
to make a bold move…and if we’re wasting our time on old ways of plodding along
uncompromisingly, we’re only being ignorant of what’s really happening around
us…and confronting our fears of change is the first step toward manifesting the
best possible outcome in our world and in ourselves.
There will
be a lot of intense emotional upheavals and shadows coming to the surface
during this time, as well as volatile arguments that only further separate us
from the compromise we desire to achieve. Those who use money as power are becoming
more aware of how truly dependent upon the people they really are and that the
people are slowly awakening to taking back control of their own power to change
the status quo. Fear will be
increasingly sniffed out as a motive for the controlling attempts of the
‘elite’, and discarded and replaced by the brave new world emerging during this
transit.
To see in
what areas of life this shift affects you personally, look to the houses in
your natal chart where Scorpio and Taurus begin. The last time the nodes were
in this axis was between February 2nd, 1994 and July 31st,
1995. Try to remember what was going on in your life at that time to get an
idea of what is to come now, after maturing since then. Astrology follows
patterns, and recognizing those patterns can help you to work with the energies
when they come around again.
Here are
some ideas on how to make the best of this ingress: Break bad habits and
replace them with empowering activities.
Rediscover your self-worth through what’s inside rather than
outside. Confront and release your
fears. Transform your life into
something truly meaningful. Scale
down the stuff in your life that impedes your progress. Uncover your hidden power. Investigate. Seek the truth in all matters. Explore the depths of your psyche. Allow yourself to feel without stifling or ignoring your
emotions. Learn to trust your
intuition. Regenerate after crises
instead of getting stuck in a rut.
Integrate your shadows in a positive light. Call out the lies surrounding you. Solve a mystery. Explore your passions. Take a deeper look into the spiritual
realm. Use your emotional
understanding for self-healing and helping others. Learn to share your abundance with others. Understand that death is not an end,
it’s a transformation.
