January 18, 2022 - July 17, 2023: North Node in Taurus, South Node in Scorpio
July 17, 2023 - January 11, 2025: North Node in Aries, South Node in Libra
What are the North and South Nodes?
The two lunar nodes move retrograde through the zodiac, taking approximately 18.5 years to complete an entire cycle. They stay in opposite signs for around 1.5 years. These nodes are important astrological points that are said to profoundly affect our lives and destiny.
To better understand the lunar nodes, let’s look at mythology. In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr, known as the World Serpent or Ouroboros, encircles Midgard (Earth), biting his own tail. Hindu mythology also has a similar dragon, with the head referred to as Rahu and the tail as Ketu.
Similarly, the North Node (the Dragon’s Head, or Rahu) beckons us toward our deepest desires and aspirations in this lifetime. It shows us the path to our highest destiny and what we seek to achieve.
Meanwhile, the South Node, embodied by the Dragon’s Tail, Ketu, represents the culmination of our past experiences and the things we have mastered. It sheds light on the gifts, talents, and relationships that come quickly to us but may no longer offer much room for growth.
The Taurus-Scorpio Axis
Since January 2022, the North and South Nodes have been in Taurus and Scorpio. The combination of the North Node in Taurus and the South Node in Scorpio is powerful.
Taurus relates to our ability to create and mold physical reality with our bare hands. Meanwhile, Scorpio is closely associated with our occult and psychic powers. This powerful axis is a chance to harness our mystical abilities, attract prosperity, and find unwavering stability.
The Taurus-Scorpio axis is known as the axis of ownership and exchange. Some of its central themes are:
Giving (Taurus) vs. Receiving (Scorpio)
Retention (Taurus) vs. Elimination (Scorpio)
Second House of personal resources and physical possessions (Taurus) vs. Eight House of shared resources and personal power (Scorpio)
The Global North Node in Taurus
The North Node is like a beacon, pointing us toward our next collective and individual quantum jump or evolutionary step.
Taurus is an earth sign associated with stability, security, and material possessions. It is a grounded, practical sign focused on building a solid foundation for the future. With the North Node in Taurus, we will be encouraged to focus on the material aspects of our lives, such as our finances, homes, and possessions.
We will be encouraged to build a solid foundation for the future for ourselves and our loved ones. Trends such as cottage-core, #softlife, or slow living are booming. And the current Taurus North Node is to blame (or thank) for these newly found global aspirations.
The Global South Node in Scorpio
On the other hand, Scorpio is a water sign associated with intensity, passion, and spirituality. With the South Node in Scorpio, we will be encouraged to let go of the past to release old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us.
As we progress through 2023, the financial upheaval, set in motion with the US’s Pluto Return of February 2022, will continue to be a massive plotline.
Ask yourself:
Are my finances in check?
Is my business/job recession-proof?
Am I prepared for a disastrous scenario?
