2025 is going to be a life-changing year for all of us. With all of the outer planets changing signs, these aren’t just personal changes but collective ones. While 2020 felt like the end of an old way of life, 2025 is the growing pains that come with embracing a new one. Even as an astrologer who's been looking at these alignments for years now, it’s one thing to prognosticate and another thing to actually experience. I’m excited to see how we all come into our own during these transits.
Beyond all the outer planet changes, 2025 begins with a subtler but equally important shift. On January 11, 2025, the lunar nodes will move into Pisces and Virgo, kicking off a new eclipse cycle. Eclipses—or times of sudden beginnings and endings—happen a few times per year in shorter bursts. But the lunar nodes bring eclipse-like expansion and contraction to two signs and two parts of our chart for 18 full months at a time. As fate takes the wheel in the Pisces and Virgo parts of our chart, we’re learning to balance the practical with the spiritual. How can we let go of rigid structures and prioritize intuition?
The 2 signs affected most by this nodal shift are of course: Pisces and Virgo
The North Node, which brings great expansion, is shifting into Pisces on January 11. Expect all the dreamy fish in your life to start finding a more solid container for their dreams. Meanwhile the South Node, which brings contraction or simplification, is moving into Virgo on January 11. Expect the Virgos in your life to surrender for once instead of trying to control everything.
