Hey cosmic travelers, let’s talk about one of the biggest astrological shifts shaping our collective journey this year—the North Node’s move into Pisces!

If you crashed out during the final Aries eclipse on March 29, 2025, you’re not alone. If you’ve been feeling more dreamy, emotional, or creatively inspired lately, you’re not imagining it. The universe just handed us a permission slip to lean into our spiritual side, and honestly, it’s kind of a big deal.

What Even Is the North Node?

Before we dive into what this means for us, let’s clear up what the North Node actually is. In astrology, the North Node (along with its counterpart, the South Node) isn’t a planet but a mathematical point in the sky where the Moon’s orbit crosses the Sun’s path. Translation? It’s like a cosmic compass pointing us toward where we need to grow, both individually and collectively.

The North Node represents the lessons we’re here to learn, the qualities we need to embrace, and the direction our souls—and the world—are evolving toward. Meanwhile, the South Node shows what we’re releasing—those old habits and outdated ways of thinking that no longer serve us. Every 18 months or so, the Nodes shift, and with them, our collective focus changes.

So when I talk about the Nodes, I’m talking about the transiting Nodes—not the ones in your birth chart.

What is Transiting Astrology?

Transiting astrology refers to the current positions of the planets as they move through the sky. It’s a snapshot of the moment we’re experiencing in real time.

This is different from your birth chart.

Your birth chart is a fixed map of the sky at the exact moment you were born. It reveals your core personality, strengths, challenges, and life path.

In short: Your birth chart tells you who you are, while transiting astrology shows how the changing planetary energies affect you at different points in time. Think of transits as the cosmic weather forecast that interacts with your personal chart.
