How to Work with Eclipses

Bookmark this complete guide to working with eclipses and how the lunar node change from Taurus - Scorpio to Aries - Libra will impact your life.

The traits of the two primary planets connected to eclipses are the Sun and Moon. Then look at the zodiac signs and then the house placement themes.

The Sun and Moon gets up close and personal. You feel the power of the Sun encouraging you to take bold steps for self-satisfaction. As you journey through life, you feel the emotion roller coaster of the Moon. This is what make Eclipses intense for some.

Nodes in Astrology

Every 18 months, the transiting nodes, also known as Lunar nodes change zodiac signs. The nodes are two points marked by the intersecting elliptical points of the Sun and Moon. They are always in opposite signs and move in a reverse cycle around the Sun (clockwise). The symbols for the lunar nodes resemble a horseshoe. See picture.

Your natal nodes are fixed and tell your soul’s story. They reveal your innate gifts, inherited traits, life lessons, and what you are here to accomplish.

North and South nodes are teaching you to heal karma and create a clear path to ascension and attain moksha. North Node transcends you from the past and reminds you to fulfil your soul’s mission. South Node pulls you to stick to the familiar and do something with your gifts and strengths or keeps you stuck in the past. Each nodal cycle is teaching you to get out of your own way, let the past rest and keep learning and thriving.

Nodal change from Taurus - Scorpio to Aries - Libra

From January 18, 2022, until July 17, 2023

You’ve been experiencing the south node in Scorpio and the north node in Taurus. Scorpio takes you into the abyss and sheds light on hidden underlying issues of your unhappiness, and helps you settle what you were unable to complete in previous lifetimes or younger years. By understanding your traumas and focusing on inner growth, you can use mindfulness to make clear conscious choices and create a positive future.

Opposite Scorpio, the Taurus north node grounded us after the global pandemic, and the need for financial stability increased. Inevitable circumstances uncovered the roots of self-worth issues that may have left you feeling overprotective of yourself and unable to experience vulnerability in your relationships. Hopefully, you’ve worked through negative narratives to develop a strong lasting inner foundation and now you feel sturdier. At the last degrees of this transit, you will be feeling hurried to complete the Taurus - Scorpio lessons.

From July 18, 2023, until January 11, 2025

You will experience the north node in Aries and the south node in Libra.

Aries Traits

Aries are also known as the child of the zodiac. This cardinal fire sign is ruled by Mars and the Ram. Mars is the planet of war, survival, and action. Anger is part of life’s experiences. Suppressed anger or unexpressed disappointments are damaging, find ways to let yourself feel and heal all your emotions.

Aries are lively and take bold steps towards their targeted goals. They are an unyielding force that enjoys victory and new adventures. Depending on the situation, these trailblazers make brave unplanned choices and assess risk later, which hinders or benefits them. Their forthrightness is not for everyone.

Aries is your core personality, identity, and who you’d like to become as you grow through the stages of life. Maya Angelou was an Aries Sun sign along with Aries Jupiter and Uranus in her eighth house, the house of transformations. She was a pioneering and influential woman who moved mountains and rose to greatness despite many traumas.

Libra Traits

Opposite Aries is Libra. This cardinal air sign is represented by the scale of justice, symbolizing partnerships and karmic agreements including legal contracts such as marriage, business filings, and divorce. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, money, and beauty, amplifies the need for connection, romance, and desire to create peaceful and equitable relationships. These social creatures shun confrontations, preferring amicable solutions. They must learn to make confident decisions and protect their self-interest. Bill Clinton has four planets in Libra along with Chiron and his ascendant (rising). An intelligent charismatic man who had many legal entanglements!

What to Expect with the Nodal Changes and Eclipses

I’ve predicted 2023 will go by quickly. It is a pivotal year to challenge yourself and take smart risks! You are learning a great deal about yourself through your interactions with others. Find stability while taking a stand and expressing your needs. Lead with courage and independence without drowning out the opinions of others or falling into self-sacrificing tendencies. Learn how to voice your disapproval confidently and strive to find mature resolutions.

Additionally, Chiron the wounded healer is in Aries (15°). Chiron reminds you the road to feeling whole is wide open and waiting for you to process old hurts. In my Chiron return, I graduated as a Master NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Breakthrough Coach. This profound healing modality helps you find wholeness where there was lack, and with confident quickness, permanently close past traumas. NLP is THE game changer that helped me reframe negative core beliefs about myself and find compassion for my perpetrators. It is the only modality that repaired distressing traumas which helped my spirit to feel safe and settled in this world. I am no longer suicidal! Now, I can take all this wisdom and help others. Chiron helps you find zen and cure old grief.

Find your Aries and Libra house cusp on your natal chart (birth) and read the below guide to help you understand how you will articulate the energies of these two constellations and upcoming transits.

The Vibes

Let’s face it these astrological transits aren’t easy, but they will pry your hearts and minds open, coaxing you to expand your current view of the same problems! Put away stubbornness and utilize Aries’s earnest trait to squash fears and express yourself with emotional intelligence and logical thinking. You are learning to be self-directed and find relationships based on freedom and unconditional love. Engaging in collaborative opportunities will further enhance your interpersonal skills.

Reconnect to that innocent child’s play and be receptive and accepting of self and others. Push on when it comes to accomplishing your personal goals but take a step back if others aren’t ready to follow you. If you trust your instinctual nature, the right people will vibrate to your leadership qualities and innovative projects.

Being completely honest with yourself is the optimal requirement and skill for self-realization. Your current point of evolution dictates how you convert life experiences into invaluable lessons and move through cycles of life.

The next eighteen months will connect you to your desires and show you how to reach your goals. A lot is kicked up when you work towards your goals. Feelings of unworthiness, fear of failure, and procrastination cancels any forward motion. Change is rewarding. You can’t expect different results by sticking to old ways if they aren’t productive. Aries craves progress so get stuck in.

It will be interesting to see how people express individualism when AI is taken over so many aspects of life. If you aren’t on the latest app or gadget, you could be seen as obsolete.

Sending Love,
