On July 17th, 2023, at 4pm EDT, the Moon Nodes switch from Taurus/Scorpio to Aries/Libra; they will remain in those signs until January 11th, 2025!
The last time the Moon Nodes were in these particular signs was back in late December 2004 until June 2006.
The transiting Moon Nodes show us what our Soul’s Journey currently requires on the collective and personal levels — let’s take a closer look at what this means:
The goal of the collective Soul’s journey is to balance and integrate two apparently opposite energies: individual drives or goals (symbolized by Aries) and one-on-one relationships (linked to Libra).
We will thus need to look closely at the balance between “me” versus “the other” – and become more conscious about our wanting approval and any co-dependency with others.
Libra represents our desire to feel connected and see both sides of the coin by looking at contrast and comparison; and in terms of balancing these energies, we need to learn how to be an individual who is free to explore and express themselves (Aries).
Collaboration might be just what we need to create a shift in finding our path and following our passions.
The Aries/Libra polarity directs our awareness to…

The Moon Nodes are also connected to the Eclipse cycles; each of these cycles prompts us to evolve and provides an opportunity to progress to the next level of our Soul’s Journey — collectively and individually speaking.
The Eclipse dates that are connected to this particular polarity are:
April 20th, 2023 – North Node (NN) Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Aries Oct. 14th, 2023 – South Node (SN) Solar Eclipse in 21 degrees of Libra March. 25th, 2024 – SN Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees of Libra-Aries April 18th, 2024 – NN Solar Eclipse in 18 degrees of Aries Oct. 2nd, 2024 – SN Solar Eclipse in 10 degrees of Libra March 29th, 2025 – NN Solar Eclipse in 9 degrees of Aries
The Solar Eclipse in 29º of Aries on April 20th, 2023, started this new Eclipse cycle connected to the Aries/Libra polarity. What began at that time for you? What ended?
Where might your Soul’s journey take you over the next 18 months? How can you best align yourself with this new collective Soul’s Journey in the Aries-Libra polarity?

On May 16th at 1:20pm EDT, Jupiter changes signs from independent, direct, fast-moving Aries to peaceful, steady, sensual Taurus. It journeys through this earthy sign until May 25th, 2024.
In our natal chart, the position of Jupiter reveals how we express generosity and tolerance and how we go about trusting others and improving our lives. On the whole, Jupiter is about expansion, possibilities, perspectives, and our mental & spiritual growth.
Ask yourself: Where do I look for wisdom and understanding? Where do I need movement and spaciousness? Where do I hold perspectives or beliefs that come from my social conditioning? Where do I feel optimistic and have faith that things will turn out ok?
Since Jupiter represents the principle of expansion — it operates like a magnifying glass. It’s been in Aries since May 2022 (except for November and December 2022). During its time in Aries, the magnifying glass sought more opportunities for our passions and for walking our path.
We may also have wanted to contribute to life from an enthusiastic, independent, and self-generative place. This might have created a shift in attitude towards our “human persona” or how we experience interacting with others — or perhaps around fearlessly fulfilling our desires.
On the other hand, Jupiter in Taurus brings the magnifying lens to bear on our personal resources, material comforts, and the enjoyment of the physical and material parts of life. The opportunity now is to bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of our comforts — and to get excited about beauty, nature, and financial abundance.
This one-year transit also fosters expanding our connection to the physical realm (our body, planet, money) — and then to steadily bring that energy to the world. It helps us to have faith in our ability to create abundance, as well as allow ourselves to feel abundant no matter what our bank account looks like. This last part may not necessarily always be a good thing…
Again, Jupiter will be in Taurusuntil May 25th, 2024. During this time, we attract good fortune when we are down-to-earth, patient, and sensual — cultivating self-love and self-honoring with an optimistic attitude. Bringing a new perspective toward physical pleasures (such as food, touch, smells, sounds, and taking in natural beauty) will create the feeling of abundance that we are seeking.
We value what’s good in life, and it will serve us to believe in our talents, worth, and ability to attract success.
We are each particularly invited to go for things that are worth our time, look for quality vs. quantity, and to explore investing in things that bring greater abundance and physical comforts into our lives. Possibilities are strong for tremendous creativity, practical hands-on projects, and recognition of our ability to positively influence our personal resources.
We also likely develop far more faith in our ability to receive and create. An influx of our finances, self-love, and our innate talents can all bring us great pleasure and a sense of self-worth. We feel optimistic and generous with our talents and resources — but we also have strong morals around those things.
Jupiter in Taurus helps to create…

All this is especially true if you are a Sagittarius or Taurus Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Sagittarius, you will feel a greater need to connect with nature and experience peace — let’s hope that doesn’t show up as resistance towards life or others. As a Taurus, you will most likely feel a greater sense of possibility, together with a need to grow and expand your sense of self-worth and physical abundance, over the next year (i.e. until May 2024).
Where does Jupiter-in-Taurus fall in your own birth chart? What aspects does it make during this transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next? What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where might you experience a major expansion between now and May 2024? Where are you ready to experience more peace and create growth towards greater abundance?

On March 23rd, 2023, Pluto changed signs for the very first time in 247 years from practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-loving, forward-thinking, and objective Aquarius. It made its first pass through Aquarius from March 23rd until June 11th, 2023.
It passed through Aquarius a second time, Januaryuntil Sept. 1st, 2024, and makes its third pass on Nov. 19th, 2024 – March 2043, then a fourth and final pass between Sept. 1st, 2043, and Jan. 19th, 2044.
The first short visit into Aquarius for two months and three weeks gave us some insight as to what themes we will be dealing with over the next 20 years when Pluto returns and stays for good in Aquarius in 2024-2044.
Pluto represents our connection to Higher Power, Soul’s will, or Soul Purpose. If we think of a Pluto transit as a process guided by our Soul, or our Higher Self, why would we not trust that process?
You can ask yourself: Am I attached to any particular social outcomes? Am I becoming obsessed with my networks? Or my affiliation with a particular group? Or perhaps my “causes”? Could I notice what’s toxic in my life? What’s disempowering?
Could I allow myself to be 100% authentic about the “why” before I begin something? Before I engage with anything or anyone?
As Pluto is always a long-term empowerment process, we are looking to become more conscious of our social roles and how we can transform social norms and bring about…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel the impact of Pluto’s deep and transformative transit through Aquarius more fully; this is especially true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Scorpio since Pluto rules Scorpio — you might also find that you are drawn toward deeper connections with the like-minded.

March 7th, at 8:35am EST, Saturn changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking and objective Aquarius to creative, intuitive, and sensitive Pisces. It will journey there until May 25, 2025, then make a second pass through Pisces from Sept. 1st, 2025, until Feb. 14th, 2026.
Saturn feels a bit like a fish out of water in Pisces, but it invites us to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, one-consciousness, etc. This transit could also teach us that healthy boundaries and integrity can help us manifest our dreams.
During those periods, we are invited to look for practical applications for our dreams and spiritual or creative aspirations. We may well be firming up our intuitive connection to life — this transit is a time to focus on what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to our idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams. Saturn in Pisces also reminds us that…

If you want to know how Saturn’s journey through Pisces will impact you personally over the next two to three years, feel free to get access to my webinar on this subjecthere. We took a look at how this transit impacts our own birth charts.
All this is especially true if you are a Capricorn or Pisces Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your dreams — and your spiritual sovereignty. As a Pisces, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious, and mature, in the next 2-3 years.
