The transiting North Node entered Taurus on January 18, 2022. It will be in this sign until July 2023. The North and South Nodes are always 180˚ apart - they’re in opposite signs. So, that means the transiting South Node is in Scorpio for the next year and a half.

The transiting nodes indicate where we’re focusing (North Node) and what we’re analyzing and repairing (South Node). Often, our focus is on the themes represented by the transiting North Node, and the transiting South Node shows us what’s on the back burner. A great example of this is when the transiting North Node was in Cancer, the sign of the home and family. That was the time when we went into lockdown, and stay-at-home orders meant people were growing plants and baking bread.

What will the transiting North Node mean for us?

The nodes change signs every 18 months, making a full revolution every 18 years. If we look back 18 years ago to 2004 (the last time the North Node was in Taurus), we see these themes:

• Significant earthquake activity

• Facebook was launched

• The tallest skyscraper in the world was completed

• Same-sex marriage was legalized in Massachusetts, but other states denied it

• Interest rate lows and adjustments

• Loosening of restrictions on logging and other environmental matters under the Bush administration

• Tornadoes

• Boho chic fashion

The Taurus North Node emphasizes

• Earth and our human experience here

• The practical aspects of life

• Finances and economic values

• Rearranging our priorities

• Connecting IRL

• Environmental issues

• Creature comforts

• Delicious food

• Design and beauty

• Our 5 senses

• Beauty as a spiritual truth

• Being financially sound, secure

The Scorpio South Node shows us what we’re veering away from

• Being too intense and serious about everything

• Unhealthy power dynamics in our relationships

• Lack-based thinking

• Being in debt

• Fear about what could go wrong in the future

• Letting past trauma stop us from moving forward in life

• Giving our power away

• Codependence on others

We’re going to see shifts in economic systems, new trends in what we’re buying and selling, and sustainability as a theme in all industries, especially fashion. Get ready for upcycling, recycling, and more of a buy-nothing movement.

We could also see earthquakes and tsunamis during this period, especially around the times of the eclipses in late April, May, October, or November. Now would be a good time to protect your home if you live in an area susceptible to earthquakes!

Food is love. Or at least that’s what we’re saying during this transit! We return to the artistry of food, and we could find new ways to grow food or manufacture it.

Design, art, and beauty will be popular. We’re moving through a cultural renaissance, and the arts are going to receive attention. You could find your own artistic outlets during this cycle.
