We’re constantly being driven by polarity, every single one of your choices is motivated by either:
obsession or repulsion..
desire or boredom..
cravings or dissatisfaction..
I like to call these polarities cosmic yucks and yums and they have a lot to do with each other and have everything to do with the two Lunar Nodes (the mathematical shadows that create Eclipses)
Seems we are currently in-between Eclipses I wanted to pop in and say right now is time to ask yourself: what is driving you?
And more importantly do you like what you’re creating?
Cosmic yucks and yums:
The nodes are sitting in Sidereal Pisces (North Node) and Virgo (South Node)
This New Nodal Axis will be in place for 18 months from November 2023 - May 2025
Rahu in Pisces -
The North Node, also known as Rahu in Vedic Astrology, represents our obsession and craving. Where it is placed symbolises where we are moving towards and the desires/obsessions that driving our decisions.
When an eclipse occurs near the North Node (this upcoming one on the 9th of April) it turns up the energy of that area of your life, drawing your attention towards it.
For the next 18 months this will be Sidereal Pisces:
~transcending the dream state or totally disassociating ~hyper-futurism ~out of the box creativity ~all things digital ~edgy belief systems ~leaning towards spirituality / higher beliefs ~turning to faith ~finding god ~making art ~innovation and new ideas ~futuristic design ~right brain thinking ~things that are unknown but you want to find out
Ketu in Virgo -
The South Node, on the other hand is known as Ketu in Vedic astrology, represents a distaste or dissatisfaction and a kind of boredom. It shows the area of life we are currently moving away from as we feel we have learnt the lessons and achieved the things. When an eclipse occurs near the South Node (like the one two weeks ago) it brings up issues or challenges that might still be unresolved that need to be confronted. This urges us to let go of what no longer serves us and move forward on the path.
For the next 18 months the South Node will be in Sidereal Virgo:
~working behind the scene ~systems and structures ~making everything work perfectly ~perfection ~planning, organisation and analytics ~left brain thinking ~engineering, mathematics and computing ~things that are already known
Look up what area of your life is represented by Virgo/Pisces in your Vedic Sidereal Birth Chart for insights to what this energy is bring in your life.
This Solar Eclipse takes place in Sidereal Pisces, which is pro at both endings and new beginnings.. but either way it makes for an emotional time with massive waves. I’ve also noticed it’s VERY noisy rn (especially on socials) with a lot of very bold belief and triggering headlines being flung around.. this is the North Nodes influence.. would be a great time to duck off and have a little screen detox.
This serves as a powerful time to ask yourself is this life all just a dream or your active reality? Depending on your answer it’s time to wake up and reflect on your life thus far and question the stories and beliefs that are are running in your mind and maybe holding you back?
On a personal note I just shared on my IG that late last year I stopped speaking to myself badly and started loving myself more. And the result of this was pretty interesting.. I actually felt more creative, confident and ultimately I wasn’t looking for external validation anymore (something I did a lot of in the past), I’m happy with my work (or lack of as you may have noticed my absence) and myself regardless of what other’s thoughts (revolutionary!) I still have a way to go especially working on my avoidant tendencies and nervous system regulation.. but it’s nice to not care so much about what people think after one million years of it holding me back.
So if you’re currently feeling tired or looking to numb out or escape reality, it’s time to acknowledge your patterns and stories that are playing on repeat.. maybe it’s time to end the cycle and begin a new pattern.
The tendency towards escapism, need for fantasy, or totally numbing out, is oh so prevalent in our society. Its a great time to look at these tendencies and embrace a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, the underlying reason why we feel the need to check out.
Hopefully in this Eclipse you can let go of the limiting stories and beliefs that no longer serve you, and start fresh as everyday is an opportunity to choose a different story.
