North Node in Aries 2023-2025

The North Node is a destiny point that directs us towards growth, evolution, and our soul's purpose. In 2023, the North Node enters the bold, forward-moving sign of Aries, ushering in an 18-month cycle that will fuel our ambition, activate our courage, and define our lives.

Whenever the North Node enters a new sign, it ushers us into a period where we work collectively on the themes related to that sign. For Aries, it's:

• Courage

• Self-confidence

• Individuality

• Leadership

• Fighting the Good Fight

• Independence

• Reinforcing Boundaries

The Aries North Node encourages us to assert our individuality and own our power. It's a call to activate our inner warrior, standing up for ourselves and our beliefs with conviction. It's a time to disentangle ourselves from situations, relationships, and habits that make us feel codependent. We're letting go of anything that isn't authentic and learning to advocate for our needs.

The South Node represents what we're integrating, healing, and letting go. For Libra, those themes involve:

• Codependence

• Hopeless Romance

• Fear of Disappointing Others

• Avoidance of Discomfort

• Lack of Boundaries

• Fear of Conflict

Mars, the planet of action and motivation, rules Aries. It's time to initiate projects, pursue our passions, and take good, healthy risks, overcoming the fear of rejection or failure. It's a good time for new beginnings—whether launching a business, embarking on a solo trip, or exploring a new creative endeavor. The Aries North Node urges us to carve our own path and rise into leadership.

Think about what was happening from December 2004 - June 2006, the last time the North Node was in Aries. Those themes could repeat for you.

Here were some significant events and themes:

• Eris, the dwarf planet named after the mythological companion and sister of Mars, was discovered. (Pretty cool timing, right?)

• The first YouTube video was uploaded (Aries is the sign of the self - what's more self-directed than posting our own videos on YouTube?)

• Twitter was launched

• Suicide bombings hit London, Egypt, and more (Aries rules war, weapons, and bombs)

• Achievements in space exploration, such as the Mars Exploration Rover mission. (Mars rules Aries)

• Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf of Mexico

• The first face transplant was performed (Aries rules the head)

• Hosting of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.

• Peace and reconciliation efforts, including the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in Sudan.

We could see the following:

• Advancements in technology and the creation of new social media platforms for self-expression

• A rise in entrepreneurship and startup culture

• Mars exploration and discussions around colonizing Mars
