Destined Shifts
The Nodes of Destiny: Shifting into Virgo and Pisces
The Nodes of Destiny, also known as the Lunar Nodes, represent a karmic axis in astrology, highlighting where we’ve been (South Node) and where we’re destined to go (North Node). They also determine the themes we will be experiencing in our lives both on a personal and collective level.
As we have witnessed in the last 18 months, when the nodes were in Libra and Aries, the focus was on a sense of collective liberation from our chains, and in true Aries (Martian) fashion, the ills and diseases of social inequality and social injustice (Libra) flared up like an aggressive rash, showing us the core diseases in our collective that must be addressed before we are able to move forward.
On 11th January, this cosmic axis shifts into Virgo (South Node) and Pisces (North Node), marking a collective call to release perfectionism, over-analysis, and control (Virgo) while embracing spirituality, compassion, and surrender (Pisces). This shift invites a deeper understanding of our purpose and asks us to navigate life with greater intuition and balance. The energies I’m reading are that of letting go of all the ways we tricked ourselves into believing that we are in control and allowing a complete submission, throwing ourselves into the abyss and letting the net of the Universe hold us, just as it always has been. How different would our lives be if we allowed ourselves to submit in such ways? We are about to find out.
What Does This Mean?
The South Node in Virgo reflects an over reliance on routines, details, and logical problem-solving. It’s where we may cling to the safety of predictability. Conversely, the North Node in Pisces invites us to lean into the unknown, trust the flow of life, and cultivate faith over fear. This axis balances the physical (Virgo) and spiritual (Pisces), encouraging us to integrate practical service with divine connection.
The Universe is asking us to:
Release: Micromanaging tendencies, critical self-talk, and the compulsion to fix others or ourselves.
Embrace: Creativity, empathy, and the wisdom of surrender.
Balance: Precision with intuition, logic with imagination, and service with soulfulness.

A Profound Invitation
The energy of this nodal shift beckons us to surrender deeply. In letting go of control, we allow the magic of the Universe to flow through us, cultivating our psychic capabilities and spiritual powers. Surrender isn’t weakness; it’s a courageous act of trust in the greater plan. By aligning with these energies, we open ourselves to profound growth, discovering that our greatest strength lies in embracing the unknown and letting intuition guide our journey.
