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 grow, be challenged, 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

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.

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
When did emotions become so transactional? They are not an inconvenience but a part of you. The harmony you seek does not lie in a field of the hunger games. Missed something right under your nose? All work and no play makes Jack we know what. Can you value a game without winners and losers? If so, how will you create it?
North Node in Gemini, South Node in Sagittarius
Dancing to the beat of your own drum is fun, the rat race less so. Who are you trying to prove wrong, has life become a bag of proofs? What value do you find in slowness? What value do you find in speed? Which one is letting you be the most you, which not so much?
North Node in Cancer, South Node in Capricorn
Round and round goes the wheel? Too much on your plate? Are you being reduced to a cog in the wheel? Security is not an unwonted concern but when sought in fear becomes a cage. Who are you competing with and why? Who are you comparing with and why? Do you even share values? Or do you just share fears?
North Node in Leo, South Node in Aquarius
Love surrounds you and overthinking traps you. Only if you can realise it. Value does not always lie in mental analysis, and you have something of value to share with the world. Happiness lies in your body, when you notice yourself overthinking, say ‘STOP’ aloud. Do it a few times and move around (literally!) in gay abandon, love will find you.
North Node in Virgo, South Node in Pisces
This message sends you a sign, a confirmation that you are worthy. Not because you do stuff for others but because you are. Old burdens are being released, give yourself some grace (and rest.) Where has trying to control things got you so far? You have one of this life, what would you do differently? New visions await, trust the process.
North Node in Libra, South Node in Aries
A cloud of anxiety can feel heavy, so why hold on? If what feels worthless still bothers you, work on your releasing skills. How does your circle of friends and compadres nourish and value you? If not, might it be time to move on?
North Node in Scorpio, South Node in Taurus
A full circle as you begin to place more value in your intuition. It is not yet time for a public revelation though, let your intuitive ideas gestate. Clarity of thought is valuable, but something which lies beyond logic (though also within it) seems invaluable. How will you guide your life now? : Logic or intuition?
North Node in Sagittarius, South Node in Gemini
The noose tightens in this competitive lust. The pursuit of happiness is a failed conundrum. Have you ever sought value in grief instead? If this were 20 questions, what value have you found in grief? What can you? Don’t just dine and dash. Stay a while and you might be surprised at the release that lies within grieving.
North Node in Capricorn, South Node in Cancer
The more you focus on the head, the more it aches. Independence is your preferred game, but what’s the value in interdependence? Are you confusing interdependence with codependency? Your sense of worth demands reevaluation and discernment not with your head but heartfelt.
North Node in Aquarius, South Node in Leo
It’s not about the one or the other, life cannot be sustained in compartmentalisation. When you begin to question values in one area of life, it will automatically spill over to the other. You can fear or you can go on an adventure in joy. Options are myriad. Which one will you choose? The Path doesn’t exist until you walk on it.
North Node in Pisces, South Node in Virgo
You know what you value, then what stops you from taking action on it? Is it the fear of judgement, fear of being alone, or FOMO? Is it a reason good enough reason to say no to sudden inspiration? Opportunities? A different world awaits in your belly if you choose to birth it.
North Node in Aries, South Node in Libra
Things may have felt stagnant lately, the same drill. But sudden lightening will make structures crumble. Frightening may it be, receive this epiphany with love and curiosity. It is not here to destroy but redirect you. Your inner Dragon awaits the crumbling.
