On Jan. 18th, 2022, at 2:50pm EST<\/b>, the Moon Nodes switched from <\/i>Gemini\/Sagittarius <\/i><\/b>to<\/i> Taurus\/Scorpio<\/i><\/b>;<\/i> they\u00a0will remain in those signs until July 17th, 2023! <\/b>The last time the Moon Nodes were in these particular signs was back in April 2003 – December 2004.<\/p>\n

The transiting Moon Nodes show us what our Soul\u2019s Journey currently requires on the collective and personal levels \u2014 let\u2019s take a closer look at what this means:<\/p>\n

The goal of the collective Soul\u2019s journey is to balance and integrate two apparently opposite energies: the honoring of the physical, material realm (symbolized by Taurus<\/b>), and our ability to transform what was traumatic or disempowering with an open heart and use it as inner fuel, making it a strength, while learning about the cycles of life — endings and beginnings of all kinds (linked to Scorpio<\/b>).<\/p>\n

We will thus need to look closely at the balance between honoring our physical, material needs, versus our quest for emotional authenticity and empowering connections \u2013 and become more conscious about our Shadow issues and traumas from the past. The Scorpio<\/b> urge to “go deeper\u201d is essential for our ability to understand the darker parts of our psyche; in terms of balancing these energies, that same urge plays a crucial role in how we connect with others and share our gift and talents (Taurus<\/b>).<\/p>\n

For the next 18 months,<\/b>\u00a0ask yourself: <\/b>How am I doing with owning previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What parts of myself still operate from survival strategies? Where am I still left feeling disempowered in my life?<\/p>\n

To get a more personal interpretation,<\/b> we also need to take a look at the House placement of that\u00a0Taurus\/Scorpio polarity<\/b> in our own birth charts, as well as the ruling planets of those signs involved\u2026 We cover the houses in a webinar (I will include a link at the end of this article).<\/p>\n

In Taurus<\/b>, the North Node invites us to make an effort to…<\/p>\n

In Taurus<\/b>, the North Node<\/strong> invites us to make an effort to honor our own gifts and talents, and to honor and appreciate the physical realm: planet, body, the planet\u2019s resources and our own (e.g. money) — and to look for ways to create beauty and abundance in our lives without destroying our planet and its resources, or our body and its gifts.<\/p>\n

Personal growth will come easier if we work on a healthy sense of self-worth and things that make us happy on a physical level. We are also called to develop our talents and are helped to discover and manifest what we truly value and enjoy.<\/p>\n

For the next 18 months,<\/b>\u00a0ask yourself:<\/b> What is between me and feeling valued in the world? What if I was the only one of\u00a0me\u00a0there will ever be? What might my value be then?<\/p>\n

You can also ask: <\/b>What do I truly value? What\u00a0deserves my attention, appreciation, and care?\u00a0Which of my values stems from social conditioning? Which of them needs to change?<\/p>\n

The Scorpio<\/b> South Node<\/strong> insists that we rein in any tendency toward a \u201cblack & white\u201d approach to life and\/or to be too intense when it comes to connecting with others.<\/p>\n

Scorpio<\/b>\u00a0ultimately teaches us that every ending is also a beginning — but the South Node<\/strong> in Scorpio<\/b> could bring up trust issues, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances) — and anything we want to prevent.\u00a0This could find us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place \u2014 in other words, from survival, rather than intuition and love-based spaciousness.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself\u00a0here<\/b>: What am I invited to shed? Is there a cycle in my life that is ending? What might a new beginning look like?<\/p>\n

We are also invited to release or redefine our relationship to trauma stemming from our past — and redefine our relationship to intimacy. Dealing with any fears consciously and honestly will ultimately empower us and set us free.<\/p>\n

It comes down to this:<\/b> Where am I attached to the “old” (perhaps through fear of letting go of it to meet the “new”)? Where might this create some difficulty? Might letting it go it help me build inner strength? Am I ready for \u201cthe new\u201d? Can I trust the process? The cycles of Life?<\/p>\n

Am I noticing an obsessive quality? Am I afraid of something bad happening? Or am I just concerned? If I’m trying to control what\u2019s outside of me, how’s that working for me? What might happen if I focused on empowering myself and others? What if I opened my heart 5% more? What if I surrendered 5% of my fears every day?<\/p>\n

With the North Node<\/strong> in Taurus<\/b>, we are invited to\u00a0remember that we are blessed with a miraculous birthday suit, and a beautiful, precious planet — if\u00a0we feel unworthy or empty inside, material objects or accumulations can only serve as a substitute or distraction from the emptiness that comes from forgetting those facts.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0What do I spend my time, energy, and money on?\u00a0If this reflected my relationship with myself, what might that mirror show me? Do I feel worthy? Do I value myself? How do I show my value?<\/p>\n

Taurus<\/b>\u00a0teaches us about the power of beauty, and about things that make us happy on a physical level — again, we are called to develop our talents and sense of self-worth — and we are asked to focus on discovering and manifesting what we truly value and enjoy.<\/p>\n

As always when Taurus <\/b>and Scorpio<\/b> are involved, we may take things a bit too personally, and perhaps get attached to what we want and how we want it. We may also get attached on an emotional level to people, pleasure, and things; in fact, we may not want to change anything.<\/p>\n

Pluto<\/b> is the ruler of Scorpio<\/strong> and Venus<\/b> that of Taurus<\/strong>; their transits<\/b> will impact us for the next 18 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given that\u00a0Pluto is currently in <\/i>Capricorn<\/i>,<\/b> and moves closely with Venus until March, 2022, <\/i>we can expect a greater emphasis on\u00a0some very powerful issues that we are currently dealing with on a collective level — a sort of re-birthing of our economic and financial structures \u2013 which could in turn bring up feelings of being out-of-control. We may also experience grief, tremendous pressures to achieve or survive, or other intense feelings; the more we obsess, the more out-of-control we will feel.<\/p>\n

The key is to focus on what matters most to us and on transforming denser energy patterns into lighter ones.<\/b> We can accomplish that by making more of an effort to honor ourselves, our bodies, possessions, talents, material and financial resources, our planet and its resources \u2014 and anything we value and want to achieve longer-term.<\/p>\n

On a more personal note, Pluto in <\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b> asks us to step into our own authority, and asks us not to give our power away to authority figures out there in the world (politicians, doctors, judges, police officers, parents, teachers, etc.). Instead we need to take responsibility for our own decisions and the choices that we make for ourselves long-term.<\/p>\n

The consequences of our choices and motivations also become more obvious with this placement. It is therefore more important than ever to ask yourself:<\/b> Am I choosing from love or fear?<\/p>\n

Love expands, fear contracts. Love unifies, fear divides. What am I experiencing more of? And how could I experience a 5% expansion of the heart? 5% greater unification of mind and soul?<\/p>\n

On both the personal and collective levels, observe in the moment what works (and what doesn\u2019t), rather than holding on to any obsessive thoughts or traumatized feelings stemming from the past that no longer serve you.<\/p>\n

Venus<\/b> and Pluto<\/b> can also be connected to our deep emotional bonds with others — and intimate relationships or partnerships can be a wonderful way for us to integrate what we are experiencing on an emotional level, allowing us to go deeper into some dark places without losing ourselves.<\/p>\n

Connecting with others in a deep authentic way might be just what we need to create a shift in our valuing of ourselves, others and the planet.

\nThe Moon Nodes are also connected to the Eclipse cycles<\/i><\/strong>; each of these cycles prompts us to evolve and provides an opportunity to progress to the next level of our Soul\u2019s Journey \u2014 collectively and individually speaking.<\/p>\n

The Lunar Eclipse in 27\u00ba of <\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b> on Nov. 19th, 2021 started this new Eclipse cycle connected to the\u00a0Taurus\/Scorpio<\/b> polarity. What is beginning? What is ending in your life?<\/p>\n

The next Eclipse (a North Node Solar Eclipse in <\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b>) will take place on April 30th, 2022; it will be followed by a Lunar Eclipse in <\/i>Scorpio<\/i> <\/b>on May 16th, 2022. There will be more Eclipses in October & November of 2022 — please check my weekly Forecast<\/a> or bi-monthly videos<\/a> for more info on those.<\/p>\n

Where is your Soul’s journey taking you over the next 18 months?<\/strong> How can you best align yourself with this new collective Soul’s Journey in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity<\/b>?<\/p>\n
