Horoscopes are relational maps. They enable awareness of our unfolding relationships to outer space from our varying times and positions on Earth. They give us vocabularies and timespace for developing our relationships with intentionality, accountability and reciprocity within the vast and complex community of our solar system. In doing so, horoscopes tell us about the stellar energies present and available to work with at any given point in spacetime. They remind us that we are in material-spiritual community with not just our human and unhuman kin on Earth but also in a larger community with our galactic relatives that demands response-ability.
Relationships need stories to be challenged, grow, learn, and survive. So horoscopes are often read as layered and polyvocal stories. The horoscopes this month are told as your Lunar Nodes story. In other words, they are organised by your Lunar Nodes signs: the South Node and the North Node.
The Lunar Nodes reside where the lunar orbit cuts our Earth’s movement around the Sun, thus signaling a unique Earth-Moon-Sun relation. Since the lunar orbit intersects with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun at two distinct points, we have two lunar nodes, the South and North which are directly opposite to each other. In Hellenic astrology, the Lunar Nodes are represented by the Dragon, the North Node representing its head and the South Node its tail. Symbolically, the South Node is represented by
and the North Node is represented by
To find your Lunar Node signs, you need to look at your birth chart or your natal chart. Generating your birth/natal chart online will require you to input your date of birth, place of birth and time of birth. Since these are sensitive data, I highly recommend that you use only trusted web sources or other online cloaking technologies to protect your privacy.
A typical Hellenic natal chart may look like this:
The 12 zodiac constellations (Aries, Taurus, Gemini…etc.) typically go around in a circle and are represented by Graeco-Egyptian symbols in a Hellenic natal chart. These symbols look like this:
Aries: ♈︎ , Taurus: ♉︎ , Gemini: ♊︎ , Cancer: ♋︎ , Leo: ♌︎ , Virgo: ♍︎ , Libra: ♎︎ , Scorpio: ♏︎ , Sagittarius: ♐︎ , Capricorn: ♑︎ , Aquarius: ♒︎ , Pisces: ♓︎
Having got hold of your natal chart, you now need to note the zodiac constellation in which the South Node symbol appears. The North Node symbol will lie in the sign directly opposite. Together these will represent your Lunar Node signs.
North Node in Taurus, South Node in Scorpio
The relations you look to manifest shall find you in playfulness and joy, not burdensome tediousness. This journey is not linear but expansive. What can you do to restore your faith in your ability today? There may be support in aural affirmations.
North Node in Gemini, South Node in Sagittarius
Sometimes there is little need for your movement because something else moves, sight unseen. Like planting a seed and giving it spacetime to grow into a sapling. Your work here is collaborative. You won’t do anything and everything and that’s okay. You have friends — human or unhuman. What do you need to hold timespace for their unfolding?
North Node in Cancer, South Node in Capricorn
Unsure about your ability? This self-talk about ability/disability, have/lack… how does it serve you? And how does it disempower you? How do assumptions of progress and linearity shape your exchanges and your fears and strategies about what you might lose and gain?
North Node in Leo, South Node in Aquarius
The walls of this cage…stuck and unstuck. In 3D, they seem impenetrable, but in dimensions multiples of 3, easily slid through. Some realities lie beyond this dimension. You too have 9 lives. What do you need to access, honour, and receive seriously dimensions beyond 3-4D?
North Node in Virgo, South Node in Pisces
Withering of the modalities of a path laid down, assured forward movement can be a disorienting experience. Disorientation brings dizziness and dizziness raises fear. Yet allowing this giddiness to hold you creates interesting new movements, revolutions, dance, adventures. How may you trust these unfamiliar movements though? Routines, rituals for intentionally dancing giddy, even a prayer may guide.
North Node in Libra, South Node in Aries
Warriors of reason have an important role to play in the strange worlds birthed beyond civilisation. A wilding necessarily calls for balancing your emotive world with reasoning skills. Oppressive Enlightenment ideals are not the only portal through which to develop a relationship with reason. Reason is not always about playing safe, how does reason invite you today into a risky unknown?
North Node in Scorpio, South Node in Taurus
What have you been taught about the dichotomy of death and life that you are ready to release? What if death were not even real, but instead a transformation, a constant becoming into forms anew? Mourning is important to allow new becomings. If death were not scary but an exciting adventure into the unknown, how would you live your life differently?
North Node in Sagittarius, South Node in Gemini
Winter on its tail end, spring falls anew. What about the change of seasons drives the impulse to accumulate? Seasons of the Earth, seasons of your life. How does the imperative to accumulate shape your everyday? What fears does the inability to accumulate bring?
North Node in Capricorn, South Node in Cancer
There is no straightness in the waves of water, there is no predetermination in the flames of fire. Yet one soothes, one burns hot. Both get the job done. The ocean creatures have something to tell you. How can you create without losing wonder?
North Node in Aquarius, South Node in Leo
Victory and whip, what are you trying to prove? In what denomination of time and space and in relation with whom? Slowing down will help release that addictive energy of determination. Down is grounding, cultivating an earthy land relation. Being looser allows you to waft instead of progress. This may be an interesting experiment. If you can, get a massage.
North Node in Pisces, South Node in Virgo
Achievements and accomplishments, who are you trying to impress? If the only one to impress was you on your deathbed, what kinds of sidestepping manoeuvres might you now make? Escapes are not just for cowards, sometimes giving up may be necessary to freedom.
North Node in Aries, South Node in Libra
Strange as it sounds, sometimes mental gymnastics of overthinking and distancing reason may be necessary to move past a black hole. In bending spacetime, the black hole hurts, but the only way is through. So what’ll you do. On the other side is a world clear and true. But you gotta trust that this spacetime bending can never extinguish you because you’re not linear.
