What: North & South Nodes move into Pisces & Virgo
When: Jan. 11, 2025
Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but esp. Pisces, Virgo and the other Mutable Signs
Takeaway: with the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, we're striving towards compassion and trusting the flow, while leaving behind inflexibility and excessive perfectionism. The rub? Not losing our critical thinking abilities to fantastical escapism.
Every 18-ish months, the Nodes shift into new zodiac signs. This is cosmic code for a brand-new collective focus. Come Jan. 11, the Nodes are shifting out of Aries & Libra, and into a more changeable, more fickle, and more chaotic storyline: the Pisces-Virgo axis. This new axis is about balancing surrender with order, intuition with logic, and chaos with structure. And let me tell you, it’s not gonna be boring.
For us personally, the North Node shows where we’re suddenly insatiably hungry for more—more growth, more experiences, more everything. (It’s called the “head of the dragon” for a reason. Dragons are always hungry.) Meanwhile, the South Node—the “tail of the dragon”—is sweeping away old habits, behaviors, and tendencies that no longer serve us. And because the Nodes operate as a pair, they’re always in opposition, which means they’re constantly reminding us: BALANCE is key. But balancing striving (I need this now!) with shedding (do I even need this anymore?)? That’s not exactly easy.
With dreamy, boundless Pisces leading the charge, the vibe is all about surrender—to the unknown, to your feelings (ugh), and to the chaos. (Because as much as I’m not fear-mongering here, I want to be honest: there WILL be chaos in 2025.) Meanwhile, Virgo, the ultimate perfectionist, is here to remind you that structure and precision aren’t entirely the enemy. But maybe too-high expectations, perfectionism, and self-doubt are. Here’s a deeper look at what these two new points signify (and how you might work with them):
North Node in Pisces Meaning
The vibe: Dreamy, mystical, and a little foggy, the North Node in Pisces feels like you’re being swept into a world of limitless imagination and possibility—but with no GPS. It’s a call to lean into your intuition and trust the unseen forces at work, even if you can’t rationalize them. Think: magical realism meets spiritual awakening.
The mission: To surrender. This transit is all about letting go of the need to control everything and embracing a more go-with-the-flow approach to life. It’s about connecting with your inner mystic, tapping into your creativity, and finding meaning through compassion, spirituality, and a little faith in the universe.
The struggle: Clarity—or the lack thereof. With Pisces energy, it’s easy to lose yourself in fantasies, escapism, or plain old confusion. You might feel like you’re floundering in a sea of emotions, unsure of what’s real or where you’re headed. The challenge is to find peace in the uncertainty and stay grounded without shutting down your dreams.
The gift: Freedom through faith. When you release the need to have all the answers, you create space for miracles and serendipity to unfold. The North Node in Pisces teaches you to trust your heart, embrace your creativity, and lean into the beauty of the unknown.
South Node in Virgo Meaning
The vibe: Busy, practical, and a touch hypercritical. The South Node in Virgo brings a laser focus on details, systems, and fixing all the things. This energy feels like your inner perfectionist is running the show, but it also highlights where those habits might be holding you back.
The mission: To release. Virgo’s meticulous, logic-driven energy is useful but can lead to overthinking, nitpicking, and obsessing over perfection. The South Node here asks you to let go of rigid routines, self-judgment, and the constant need to “fix” yourself or others. It’s time to move past productivity for productivity’s sake and focus on being rather than doing.
The struggle: Balance. While the South Node in Virgo may tempt you to double down on organizing your chaos, it’s also where you’re prone to burnout and self-sacrifice. The challenge is to step away from the to-do list long enough to see the bigger picture—and to stop using work as a distraction from emotional or spiritual growth.
The gift: Grounded service. By integrating Virgo’s practicality with Pisces’ intuition, you can use your skills and attention to detail in a way that serves not just you but the collective. The South Node in Virgo reminds you of the power in humility and purposeful work, while the North Node in Pisces shows you how to infuse it with compassion and creativity.
