Heads or Tails – Lunar Nodes in 2025

Draconis Caput & Draconis Cauda

This looks to be a busy year for most of us, with the outer planets Pluto, Neptune and Uranus all changing signs from feminine to masculine, and with the inner planet playing a retrograde relay for the first half of the year. There’s a lot going on.

Accompanying this on 11 January 2025, the lunar nodes change sign and will not change again for around 18 months. They change from the initiatory and problem solving cardinal Aries-Libra  axis to the changeable and shapeshifting  mutable Pisces-Virgo axis.

From a medical astrology perspective, the lunar nodes are arguable the most important  thing to check in the medical chart as they are the energy input and output points to the suns vital force generation and the moons distribution of it.

With the north node in mutable water sign Pisces, the energy surge will be related to the feet, spiritual and mental health, lymphatics and immunity. Pisces is known to lack boundaries so it may be a good time to put up those spiritual or psychic firewalls. Detoxes and cleanses would be useful now, but don’t overdo it, it could be too much with this energy.

The south node is in mutable earth Virgo and rules the umbilicus and lower abdomen. It is known for scrutiny of details, perfectionism, health and healing and of being of service to others. To ensure there is no overstretching our service and offerings to others only for that energy to drain away to our detriment, as the south node suggests, it may be useful to make a deliberate offering to a relevant Virgo related charity or cause, (maybe a mothers and special care babies hospital unit) to encourage the correct direction of this energy, without the overstretch or leakage.

Although these transit readings are general, you may find that you resonate with them at times. This will likely be due to transits aspecting your personal charts. ‘The stars incline, they do not compel,’ (Lilly). The Trinity of Testimonies aka The Rule of Three is relevant here, and is used in determining and pre-empting health condition flare ups or significant life events. One transit aspect alone does not indicate an issue or event likelihood.

Please read your rising/ascendant, sun or moon sign section. Your ruling planet energies will be experienced in different houses throughout the year as they progress through the zodiac.

For Pisces rising, the nodal axis is in the 1^st and 7^th angular houses of self and relationships. You may have increased strength and constitution but don’t neglect you relationships. Your ruling planet of Jupiter is in the fourth house of home and mother figures, and your abundance of energy will be flowing there for now.

For Aries rising, the nodal axis is in the 12^th and 6^th houses of health. You may have increased dream activity or spiritual experiences, make sure that your energy doesn’t drain in day to day routines. Your ruling planet Mars is in your 4^th house and is where your abundance of energy is flowing initially.

Taurus rising, the nodal axis is in the 11^th and 5^th houses. Your energy will be directed at friends and public image, this may have a draining effect on your creativity or on children, especially when Venus is currently in your 11 house also.

Gemini rising, nodal axis is in the 10^th and 4^th angular houses of career, occupation and home. This axis has a mother-father quality to it. Your career and occupation are getting the power surge and there may be a lack of energy for  issues at home to deal with. With your ruling planet of Mercury in your 8^th house for a short time the immediate energy will be flowing towards shared finances or joint intimacies.

Cancer rising, nodal axis is in the 9^th and 3^rd houses. There is strength to your beliefs and personal philosophies yet communications with siblings and neighbours may not get the required attention. With your ruling planet of the moon swiftly circuiting the zodiac several times during this nodal axis, so will your energy ebb and flow.

Leo rising, nodal axis is in your 8^th and 2^nd houses of shared and personal finance. Your ruling planet the Sun is currently in your 6^th house, so you have the winter Sun energy for your daily routines at present and that will increase as the year does. Be mindful of personal spending.

Virgo rising, nodal axis is in your 7^th and 1^st houses. Your relationships and personal image are experiencing a boost, yet you may be neglecting yourself. With your ruling planet Mercury in your 5^th house of creativity, pleasure and children, there you will experience a boost of energy while Mercury is there.

Libra rising, nodal health houses of 6^th and 12^th. Your 6^th house of health and daily routines will be experiencing a surge of energy, with your ruling planet Venus there also, doubly so. Make preparations for good quality sleep and try to be mindful of your blind spots.

Scorpio rising, nodal axis 5^th and 11^th houses of pleasure, creativity and friends and social groups. Too much fun may be draining to your public image. Your ruling planet Mars in your 9^th house of spirituality and philosophy are receiving the abundance of energy at present.

Sagittarius rising, nodal axis of 4^th and 10^th  angular houses of home and occupation. This axis has a mother- father issue to it. Energy is abundant for the home or for mother figures, be mindful that it doesn’t take a toll on your occupation. The surge of energy is directed into communications, possibly with neighbours or siblings, thanks to Jupiter in your 3^rd house.

Capricorn rising, nodal axis of the 3^rd and 9^th houses of communications and beliefs, with Saturn in your 3^rd house also communications receive a disciplined and steady energy.

Aquarius rising, nodal axis of the 2^nd and 8^th houses of personal and shared or inherited finances. With discipling Saturn in your 2^nd house  of personal wealth, assets and self-esteem, there is a power surge here, try to make sure it doesn’t leak out to your shared finances.
