Virgo Solar Eclipse on 9.21.25

The Virgo solar eclipse takes place on September 21, 2025 at 2:54 pm central when the transit Sun and Moon will both be at 29° Virgo conjunct the South Node. The eclipse taking place at 29° is a major feature, considering 29° is the anaretic degree. There is also a beautiful (out of sign) kite aspect pattern in the chart, along with some galactic activations. Suffice to say there is A LOT going on with this one.

What follows are some possible themes of the Virgo solar eclipse that may come up for you as an individual (or for the collective). How this actually plays out for YOU personally depends on what this astroweather is doing to your personal astrology chart. Take into consideration the houses that it falls and any planets/angles/etc. that it aspects. If you would like for ME to read for you about this eclipse (or any kind of astrology reading!), that can be done by clicking this text. If you are more of a “watcher” than a “reader,” here is a video that I did on this same thaaaaang.

Also! real quick (just basic info):
-Lunar Eclipses take place during Full Moons
–Keywords for Full Moons: Illumination, Culmination, Release
– Solar Eclipses take place during New Moons
–Keywords for New Moons: Planting Seeds, Setting Intentions, New Beginnings
-Eclipses tend to be wild & unpredictable. Expect the unexpected.
**This is a South Node Eclipse since the Moon is conjunct the South Node. This means that one probably has to “go back” in some capacity in order to move forward.

What does the anaretic degree (29°) mean?
You will read a whole bunch of different things about a planet at 29° of a sign, but I tend to think of this degree as both “tired” but can’t rest just yet (it still has shit to do). It’s kind of like this – you get home from a trip, and you have ALL of your bags to unpack and put away (let’s also say your house is a mess, too, to illustrate the point further). All you want to do is sit on the couch and relax, but you see all the stuff around the house that needs to be done to make the house more livable. THIS is a perfect illustration of 29° of a sign. ALL it wants to do is rest and relax, but it can’t rest and relax until it has finished everything that it needs to do.

There is so much power and change that is possible under this eclipse with the (out of sign) kite between the eclipse, Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini, and Neptune in Aries/Saturn in Pisces as the tail. This means that all the things started under this eclipse need to ultimately serve the purpose (Virgo energy is service and purpose focused) of moving towards the future (with the transit North Node ALSO in Pisces), dissolving boundaries/structures that don’t need to exist….so that dream building can (eventually) occur. For a lot of you, what you put in place right now matters (even if nothing big feels like it happens).

Under this eclipse I wouldn’t be too concerned about making plans that you are rigid about sticking with. That doesn’t mean that you don’t make ANY plans at all (you SHOULD), but they need to be adjustable. Having an outline is probably good enough. Focus may also be a thing – overactive focus or underactive focus. Try to focus on what DOES have your attention if you can (unless your focus is all over the place, my guess is that something WILL have your focus….and there is probably a reason for that).

^{Chart for the Virgo Solar Eclipse}

Some themes that may come up under the Virgo solar eclipse:

The Past
Because this is a South Node eclipse, there probably is a strong pull to the past in some capacity. Setting things “right” and/or “correct” that may not have been done “right” and/or “correct” to begin with seems like a possibility. Cleaning things up that need to be cleaned up (or, even, clearing up things that need to be cleared up). All of above are very Virgoan in nature.
**There might also be a sense of it being the “last time” that you can start something Virgo-like in nature due to the anaretic degree’s involvement with this eclipse. It doesn’t matter if it’s the actual last time you’re able to start something or not- that “last chance” feeling may exist regardless.

Coming Down to Earth
Was anything illuminated for you under the lunar eclipse in Pisces? Anything that was released but maybe it’s sat in limbo-land for a week or so? Have you been trying to figure out what to do with what was released, or what to do with what was illuminated? The Virgo solar eclipse is the perfect time to DO something with anything that may have come up. Bringing these things that were illuminated or released down to earth to do something with them in real life seems like a great way to work with this eclipse energy.
**What needs to come down to earth may or may not be entirely pleasant for you. Tedious and taxing are the words that come to mind should what needs to come down to earth not be pleasant (like, you might find it tedious or taxing or something like that). Because Virgo energy can also be anxious and nervous (and there is a little bit of this with the anaretic degree as well – knowing that it has shit to get done), there could be some anxiety and nervousness surrounding bringing whatever may need to come down to earth, down to earth. Should this exist, I think there is even MORE anxiety and nervousness if you chose NOT to translate whatever down to earth.

The Little Things
For some of y’all, the small things (the details) that happen now are actually BIG things. This may or may not be realized at the time of the eclipse (sometimes this kind of thing is best seen from a retrospective lens). Like, maybe under this solar eclipse you make some kind of small change to your daily life. This could be a habit that you decide to break, a ritual you decide to incorporate – there are several Virgo-esque possibilities afoot. You may not realize it until down the line that whatever (small) thing you do now impacts you in big ways down the line.

Effort & Work (where and where not to put in that effort & work)
Virgo energy is all about work and putting in effort. You might find that under this eclipse there are things that you decide that you want to put the work and effort into. Maybe they are things that you’ve wanted to do for a long time but never did before. Maybe it’s something that you used to put effort and work into “back in the day” and now you want to put that effort and work into again. Maybe it’s not even about putting in effort and work, but that you STOP putting in effort and work towards something that you don’t need to put effort and work into. Regardless of what it is, or what it looks like, I could see this sort of thing come up for some of y’all.

Crisis Point Reached
While I don’t mind this eclipse overall (I didn’t mind the Pisces lunar eclipse, either), some of y’all might reach some kind of “crisis point” (Virgo energy has a correlation with the notion of “crisis”). This may or may not be anything major (remember, Virgo energy DOES also deal with the details & the little things!), but there could be some kind of crisis (or mini-crisis) reached with this lunation. I almost get the sense that if there IS a crisis of some sort it probably has something to do with having to make a decision about something (and, maybe, not being sure what to do). I make that last comment because of Mars at 29° Libra (also an anaretic degree!) which means Mars will know it needs to do something but might not know WHAT to do….or even want to make a choice in the first place.
**The Virgo solar eclipse features some galactic activations with the conjunction it makes to the Super Galactic Center at 2° Libra (and Mars at 29° Libra conjunct the Shapley Attractor at roughly 2° Scorpio). The eclipse’s conjunction to the SGC could make taking action more difficult (the SGC seems like a place where a person can sit on the fucking fence for too long); luckily I think the 29° Sun & Moon might be enough to get something to happen (it’s not going to be able to “relax” until something is done). Mars conjunct Shapley makes me think that inaction will attract situations that force a choice to be made or an action to be taken (so it’s probably better to take action on your own rather than be forced to take it).

A little tiny bit of STORYTIME to illustrate this eclipse – A few days after the Virgo solar eclipse I will be going to the social security office to legally change my last name. I didn’t time it this way (swear I didn’t 🤣!), this was just the soonest appointment the local social security office could get me in for the name change (and it happens to be right after the eclipse). This might seem like a small thing (even tedious and/or mundane – fucking around at the social security office 😂), but it’s MASSIVE to me. My South Node at 0° Libra, Midheaven at 28° Virgo, and the asteroid “Adams” at 29° Virgo are all conjunct this eclipse. Because of the things in play in my own chart, it feels a little like this eclipse serves as the baton pass between the “old way” and the “new way”. This seems backed up further when I consider that the asteroid for Burck is conjunct Mercury in my chart (Mercury is the ruler of my Virgo MC). While I know what my name will be on all my legal documents, there has been a tiny bit of “crisis” as to what I am known as professionally (and I’ve been pouring over the details for the past few months). Since the start of my business, Adams has been my last name, and while I am not sorry to see it go I do know that it can throw people (and searches) off when name changes take place. So….it’s been a mental process for me, ironing out the details (which are still NOT all the way ironed out).
**Funny enough (and what beautiful timing!) – As I was typing this post I saw that an interview I did a month ago JUST went live (I didn’t think it would be live so soon 🤣). In this interview I introduce myself with my new name.

Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (Sept. 2025)

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7, 2025 at 1:09 pm central isn’t the unrealistic shitshow that I had original imagined before looking at the chart 🤣 Full disclaimer: Usually, I really detest lunations along the Virgo/Pisces axis (they tend to square SOMETHING that I have in Sagittarius in my own chart; I have A LOT of stuff in Sagittarius). Because of this sometimes I will forgo talking about them/writing about them at all and just pretend they aren’t happening lol. However, even though this one IS square a bunch of stuff in my own chart….it really doesn’t bother me. Dare I say I might even LIKE this one? Even though I’m still (probably) going to find it personally annoying (hahahaha), from a collective lens it seems & feels nice.

_{Chart of the Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025 at 1:09 pm central}

Real Quick: If you would like me to read your astrology chart for you (about this lunar eclipse or otherwise), that can be done by clicking on this text. Also, if you are more of a watcher than a reader, here is a video about this same thing.

Also! real quick (just basic info):
-Lunar Eclipses take place during Full Moons
–Keywords for Full Moons: Illumination, Culmination, Release
– Solar Eclipses take place during New Moons
–Keywords for New Moons: Planting Seeds, Setting Intentions, New Beginnings
-Eclipses tend to be wild & unpredictable. Expect the unexpected.
-This is a North Node eclipse (transit Moon in Pisces conjunct the North Node), meaning collectively and individually we are having things illuminated that are occurring to push us forward. Same thing could be said about things that come to culmination and things that need to be released

_{The Star Cards laid out to show the planetary energies in play}

Some themes that might come out to play under this eclipse energy:

1) RELEASE
Releasing is something that Pisces energy does (a way that it may express itself). Are there things that you are feeling called to release? Because we are talking about eclipse energy the things that might be illuminated to be released might be things that you aren’t expecting. Or maybe there are things that you’re expecting to release, but how they are released (how it is illuminated that they need to be released might be a little different than “planned”). If you know that there are things that you are wanting to release, this eclipse energy can be pointed towards this direction.

2) DREAMS & the UNCONSCIOUS
Pisces energy can express itself in a dreamer sort of way. The kind of dreams that Pisces energy deals are the sort that feel SO unrealistic or unattainable. But are they REALLY unrelastic and unattainable? Well, maybe sometimes 🤣 I won’t bullshit you. However, there is something about this lunation that makes me think of dreams being illuminated (perhaps even some that one keeps unconscious). Luckily, we have the Sun in Virgo (and Mercury in Virgo, where Mercury is exalted) to help bring these things down to the real world.
**Also, about dreams (and sleeping) – some of y’all might feel extra tired under this eclipse (they can be energy suckers). Listen to your body (which is very Virgoian) and rest if you need it. On the flip side of that, some of y’all might not feel like you CAN sleep. Sleep seems like it gets fucked with, lol. Some of y’all might find that you’re dreaming more than you normally do. Take note of the things that are revealed in dreams under the lunar eclipse energy. There might be something to do in the physical world with those dreams.

3) SPIRIT COMMUNICATION
This particular one might not be for “everyone,” but if you are someone who is inclined to receive messages from spirit (or is aware that you are receiving messages from spirit – I think we ALL have this ability but not everyone believes or acknowledges it) it seems like this eclipse might be “busy” with this kind of activity. And because the Sun and Mercury are in Virgo, there is a direct line right now down to the real world for spirit to come through.
**The Virgo/Pisces axis deals a whole bunch with the real/physical world (Virgo) and….whatever else exists beyond that (Pisces). Virgo doesn’t get the credit necessary (imo) as the translator for what Pisces is able to sense.

4) SENSITIVITY, EMPATHY, and COMPASSION
Pisces energy is incredibly sensitive, as well as compassionate & empathetic. Ways that you “should” be more compassionate could be illuminated. Ways that you need compassion might also come through as well. The Moon is trine Jupiter (the traditional ruler of Pisces) in Cancer during this event, allowing for all of the above to flow through easily. The Sun and Mercury in Virgo can translate this down to Earth, making it clear how to be of service with this empathy, etc. and even how you might need to be “served.”

5) CONFUSION
Yeah….any time you get a lunation in Pisces, you could very easily be looking at confusion and shit that doesn’t make sense (because Pisces energy can be a messy bitch 🤣). Take any “confusion” or the feeling of being between two worlds….and do something creative with it. Another thing you can do is mentally retrace your steps. By this I mean if you happen to get really confused for seemingly no reason, or you start feeling messy (with no creative outlet in sight!), think back to what you were doing when you started to feel confused, messy, etc. Could whatever you were doing right before that have anything to do with why you feel confused, messy, etc. now? Getting down to the details of things which the Sun in Virgo will appreciate.
…..Or you can create goofy shit that makes no sense like THICC PIKACHU representing this eclipse 🤪

How does this one play out for you personally? This depends so much on your own astrology chart. Look to see what houses this lunation takes place – this will give you an idea of what areas of life it will play out through (houses in the chart = WHERE things happen or “areas of life”). Also! Make sure to consider any aspects that this eclipse is making to planets in your chart (because this will impact things as well).

Transit Jupiter in Cancer

What do you personally believe in? Why do you believe it? Where does that belief come from…..and where, from within you, does it take root (same questions could (and should be) asked about personal truth). These are the kinds of questions that may come up with transit Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter governs beliefs, expansion, and the search for meaning, while Cancer makes everything personal. With this combination, it’s hard not to feel prompted to explore your inner world and ask: What do I really stand for?
When looking at transits, it’s important to consider how they interact with your personal astrology chart….so you can see how these energies could unfold for you. If you’d like a personal astrology reading, *you can book an astrology session with me by clicking here*****

Let’s start this post on transit Jupiter in Cancer with some dates, “keywords” and other thangs:
-Jupiter will enter Cancer on June 9, 2025 and it will be there until June 30, 2026.
-Jupiter will be retrograde in Cancer from November 11, 2025 through March 10, 2026
-Jupiter’s orbital period is one year
-Jupiter is “exalted” in Cancer
-Transit North Node is in Pisces and transit South Node is in Virgo
(this matters because Pisces is traditionally ruled by Jupiter)

*I will show off the Star Cards any chance I get 🤣*

Some “keywords” for what Jupiter may express:

Abundance	Generous	Morals & Ethics	Understanding	Dogmatic	Other Cultures
Expansion & Exploratory	Higher-Learning	Beliefs (of all kinds)	Amplification	Truth	Philosophy
Opportunities& Possibilities	Being “Extra”	Honesty	Knowledge & Wisdom	Open-Minded	Optimistic

Some “keywords” for how Cancer energy may express:

Nostalgia	Moody	Emotions	Feelings	Personal	“The Mother”
Intuitive	Needy	(Emotional) Security & Insecurity	Protective	Abandoned & Abandoning	Withdrawn
Receptive	Family	Domesticated	Sensitive	Competitive	Sentimental

**None of the things that a planet may want to express OR the ways that a sign may express itself are inherently “good” or “bad.” The above (and others not mentioned) are just expressions – it’s entirely up to a person (or the collective) WHAT (the planet) and HOW (the sign) they manifest**

Some things that feel possible to come up under this transit (both individually and collectively)

Expansion of Emotions, Sentimentality, and Home & Family
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and yes, it can be a little extra sometimes. During its stay in Cancer, some people might literally expand their families or their homes. Others may find themselves feeling more emotional, nostalgic, and/or sentimental than usual. And this isn’t limited to people who typically operate that way (this can touch anyone). What’s key during this time is to check in with yourself regularly. Ask: “Am I being a little too extra about this?” For some of you, the answer will be no – you’re showing up with just the right amount of feeling and emotion. For others, you might need to dial it back.

Understanding Emotions & Feelings
During this transit, some individuals (and some pockets of the collective) may become more tapped in to understanding emotions and feelings. On the surface, that might sound like a simple or even universally positive development (emotional things are rarely simple, though). While greater emotional understanding can foster compassion and connection, in the wrong hands, it could also be manipulated or weaponized. Of course, that won’t be true for everyone, but it’s something to be mindful of as this transit unfolds.

Truth Seeking (and Knowledge) about Family, Home and even the “Homeland”
During this transit, there may be a strong individual and collective urge to seek the truth about one’s family and the personal meaning of “home.” How this could come about on a personal level will vary depending on each person’s unique circumstances. On a collective level, this energy could manifest as knowledge and truth seeking (even understanding) about the concept of “homeland.” Cancer energy doesn’t just deal with notions of an individual’s home, but it can also represent the homeland of a person (or the notion of “homeland” in general). As a result, we may see a broader movement toward uncovering truths and seeking wisdom regarding such.

Personal Beliefs (and Truth)
What do you truly believe and why? Are those beliefs actually yours because YOU believe them, or do they stem from your upbringing, your roots, or your family? Do they need to be unraveled? When I say “beliefs,” I mean ALL beliefs…religious, metaphysical, spiritual, philosophical, political, and beyond. The important thing is that what you believe feels personal to you (and that they are YOURS). The same goes for your personal truth. Do you know what that looks like? If not, (and if you haven’t been actively exploring it) this transit may stir something in you. It might nudge you to start that search, or to go deeper into it, bringing you a little closer to understanding what your personal truth really is.

**Keep in mind that however this transit goes, whatever way you choose to “work it” personally (or how we collectively choose to work it), the possibility of Jupiterian things being exaggerated is high. This is not only because Jupiter can be rather “extra” anyway (lol) but because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer (exaltation = exaggeration).**

There is also a historical element that should be mentioned in this post (I brought this up briefly in the YouTube video that I did on this same subject). From a personal standpoint, think back to what was going on in your life the last time that Jupiter was in Cancer (this was from June 26, 2013 through July 16, 2014). What comes up while Jupiter is in Cancer this time won’t be EXACTLY the same as what came up for you (and collectively) in 2013/2014, but there probably will be SOME themes that echo the past (how “nostalgic” and “sentimental”). For instance, in July of 2013, right after Jupiter moved into Cancer, I married a massive asshole. We got divorced in 2022, but I have (somewhat recently) instigated something that should have happened when we were getting divorced (and what I have instigated will continue for a good portion of the time that Jupiter is in Cancer in 2025). So, there is definitely an echo of the past going on from this side of the page.

From a collective (and historical) standpoint I started thinking back to what was going on the last time Jupiter was in Cancer. Just for a little quick history (lol), here are just a few things that were going on in the world at the time:
-“Fallout” from Edward Snowden’s release of fuckery by the different US alphabet agencies
-Rise of ISIS
-Russia pulling its bullshit in Crimea
-2014 American Immigration Crisis

As I was thinking back, though, my attention quickly turned to the transiting nodal axis. It has always caught my attention that transit Jupiter will be in Cancer while the transit North Node is in Pisces…and Jupiter is one of the rulers of Pisces…and it’s exalted in Cancer. Then I started looking for when the last time Jupiter was in Cancer AND the Nodal Axis was transiting the Virgo/Pisces Axis. What I came back with was that in mid-July 1978 through early-September 1978 and again from early-March through late-April 1979, Jupiter was in Cancer and the transit North Node was in Virgo (with the transit South Node in Pisces).
**The nodal axis was flipped in 1978 & 1979 from where it is now, but for the purposes of this exercise, I was just looking for when the nodal axis was in the signs of Virgo and Pisces, not necessarily the North Node in Pisces.

*These cards from the Illuminati Card Game coming in HOT*
(and lololol at calling them the “moral minority”)

What was going on in the late 1970s (during this period) that feels incredibly relevant in the US in 2025 (especially here in Texas which is where I live)? Well, that would be the rise of the christian right in politics, with the “moral majority” coming into frame and all that bullshit. Make no mistake – there was religious shit in politics before the late 1970s, but it was THIS “moral majority” Jerry Falwell bullshit which really kicked it off (and we have seen waves of it ever since….and we’re seeing a massive wave of it right now). Interestingly enough, the rise of christian right took off during the period of time that the transiting North Node was in Virgo and the transiting South Node was in Pisces (flipped from how it is currently in 2025) with transit Jupiter in Cancer. The North Node is where we are wanting to “go,” and while Virgo energy can be incredibly decent and helpful, it can also be incredibly puritanical (this is a shadow of this sign energy). Pisces energy, where the transit South Node was at the time in the late 1970s, can be a little “confused” and “unrealistic” (and with Jupiter exalted in Cancer during some of this nodal axis transit in the 1970’s, it feels like there could have been some “confusion” and “lack of realism” about beliefs…that were very exaggerated).

Currently in 2025, we have the transiting South Node in Virgo and the transiting North Node in Pisces. It seems like we are coming from a more “puritanical” place (the Virgo South Node) and we are desperately wanting (aching!) to move towards a more accepting way of being and existing (the Pisces North Node). Honestly, I HOPE that’s the way that all of this goes (though, there are other transits going on that make me less hopeful). Realistically though, it could be that we are moving towards a more “confused” or “unrealistic” place (both of those keywords are also very Pisces). There isn’t ANYTHING realistic or sustainable with the way that this country is going. This is especially true here in Texas and all the bullshit the government is pulling. Such as (but not limited to) the Texas government shoving religious bullshit down the throats of children (such as the Ten Commandments having to be displayed in public schools….da fuq is this bullshit?!). Most of our politicians in this state appear to have been bought by a few evangelisterrorists out in West Texas who seem hellbent on turning this state into some crazy ass Christian fundamentalist theocracy. People in the US think they are just a Texas problem (if people know the names Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks at all) but make no mistake – they are coming for the whole country next. They have already started laying the groundwork.
….I’ve said this a million times before, but I’ll say it again: RELIGION HAS NO PLACE IN FUCKING POLITICS. BELIEFS HAVE NO PLACE IN FUCKING POLITICS. Can/should a person VOTE based on their beliefs? Sure, nothing wrong with that. Should we be putting things into law that are based in religious belief? Absolutely the fuck not. The argument people will make is that the “uS is A cHRistIAN nATioN!” These fools need a fucking history lesson.

Look, I’m not trying to rag on religion. Some people have their beliefs because they truly believe them – I would never rag on someone for having personal beliefs, dogma attached or not. There are plenty of people who have a religious faith and don’t force their beliefs onto anyone else (you all are NOT the people I’m talking to). The issue with Jupiter in Cancer (Jupiter energy can absolutely tie in with religion, religious beliefs, and dogma), is that beliefs (especially those which are very personal) can be SO exaggerated because they are SO personal. Just because something is YOUR personal belief doesn’t mean everyone else needs to believe it, too (or that it’s even “true” in a universal sense in the first place – something can be true to a person and be batshit crazy to everyone else, etc.). If you find yourself feeling that you need to shove your beliefs down someone else’s throat, or impose your beliefs on someone else (which could go against the way another person lives their life without hurting anyone else), you need to ask yourself WHY and understand where this need comes from in the first place. If it comes from some level of personal insecurity (Cancer energy strives for security but can be incredibly insecure), check yourself. If you find that religion (or your beliefs) are used to control someone else or manipulate someone/something else (perhaps because it was passed down to you to function this way), check yourself. If you are using religion as a “beard” so you can be (or continue to be) a piece of shit person, please check the fuck out of yourself. Everyone needs to get really fucking honest with themselves as they unravel this stuff. Some of y’all out there need to ask yourself “why is my religion, or why are my beliefs, so far superior to anyone else’s beliefs (or lack of belief) that they need to be imposed onto others that don’t share said belief/religion?” This would take a level of self-awareness that so many seem to lack, so from a logical place I’m not super-hopeful. But…isn’t it just EASIER to let people just “be” and “exist”? That’s something that is possible under transit Jupiter in Cancer AND the transiting nodal axis in Pisces & Virgo (and is something for which the North Node in Pisces yearns). We just have to actually DO it (and knock off the puritanical bullshit).

The Transiting Nodal Axis Moves into Virgo & Pisces

STORY TIME!
(this story does feel appropriate to share as the transiting nodes move into Virgo & Pisces – bear with me for a second)

On January 1, 2021, when my son was 3 years old he was in an accident involving a tractor. To this day I STILL don’t know ALL of the details of this accident and STILL have more questions than answers (I wasn’t there when it happened but I did go to the hospital with him). Did he fall off the tractor? Was he hit by the tractor? Why the fuck did my ex-husband feel that it was appropriate to have a 3-year-old near (or on) a moving tractor in the first place? Anyone who has a child knows that when your child is hurt ALL you want to be able to do is fix what’s wrong and work to make things better for them (I know that this feeling isn’t limited to a parent and their child). When this accident happened there wasn’t ANYTHING I could do to make it better for my son. I was trying to soothe him, to distract him, to clean him off (all the blood all over his face that wouldn’t stop no matter how much pressure I applied or how often I attempted to clean his face off), trying to keep him awake and talking (there was initial concern of a concussion)….ALL the things, trying to “fix” him and find a “solution” to his injuries. Honestly, I’ve never felt so fucking useless in all of my life; nothing I was doing to try to fix him and make him better was helping a goddamn bit (not that this was about me, it wasn’t, but I do remember feeling SO fucking useless and helpless). As he was sitting in my lap, letting me hold him as we colored a picture, it dawned on me that what he needed in that moment (at that time) was for me to JUST BE with him. There wasn’t any work that I needed to put in to try and fix him or make him better, there wasn’t anything that I could do (so I didn’t need to feel guilty that I couldn’t make him better on my own). On that day in the hospital, what he needed from me was just to be there with him and to exist with him (and for me to surrender to all of this).
I felt compelled to share this story because it SO PERFECTLY (hahaha Virgo energy) illustrates the way the transiting nodal axis in Virgo & Pisces (North Node in Pisces & South Node in Virgo) feels (even though when this event occurred the transit North Node was in Gemini and the transit South Node was in Sagittarius). Also because this particular event has come to the forefront of my mind recently for a bunch of reasons.

Every 18 months or so, the transiting Nodal Axis changes signs (they have been along the Aries/Libra Axis since July 2023). This changes on January 11, 2025 when the transiting nodal axis moves into Virgo and Pisces (the South Node moving into Virgo and the North Node moving into Pisces). They will be in these signs until July 27, 2026.

Just a few quick things about the North & South Nodes:
-Normal motion for the nodes is retrograde.
–This means that 0° Aries is the end (of the nodal axis cycle), and 29° Pisces is the beginning (of the nodal axis cycle). So, quite literally the beginning and the end (or the Alpha & the Omega).
-There are two different nodes you can use: the true node and the mean node. The difference between the two is negligible and it really is a personal preference as for which one to use. If you use the true node, they will sometimes be direct. If you use the mean node, they will always be retrograde since the mean node is an average.
-The South Node is what is “familiar” or “comfortable” (even if it’s energy really isn’t comfortable at all). The North Node is where a person (or a collective) is wanting to move towards and become familiar.
**Want to know more about the Nodal Axis and how to read it in an astrology chart? The course “Where You’ve Been and Where You Want to Go” starts on January 21, 2025, at 6 pm central over zoom (more information on the course can be found here).
**More of a watcher than a reader? You can find a video that I did on the transiting nodes in Virgo & Pisces on YouTube.

What follows in this post are the different themes that seem like they could come up over these next 18 months, both on the individual and collective levels. HOW the transiting nodes along the Virgo & Pisces Axis play out for you personally depends on your personal astrology chart (and what the transiting nodes are doing to it). If you want me to read for you (or just need a little help deciphering this transit for yourself), you can get a reading from me here.

Purpose/Work vs Existing/Just Being
Virgo energy is very busy (it is ruled by Mercury, after all). It’s not the Gemini kind of busy (also Mercury ruled). Gemini is busy just to be busy, but Virgo energy is busy with a purpose. Usually that purpose involves being of service, of use, and/or of help. Pisces energy, on the other hand, doesn’t function this way; Pisces energy purely “exists” and knows how to be in a state of “just being.” Sometimes there isn’t anything that one can do, there isn’t anything that can be helped…one just (kind of) has to be able to exist. This one feels like a big deal for this transit, and I think (collectively and/or individually) we will all be called to just “be” and to just “exist” at different times (and to know there isn’t anything wrong with this).

Real vs Unreal
During this particular transit there will probably be many times where we all think (collectively and individually) “is what is happening actually real?!” Virgo energy has a down-to-earth presentation and lives in the real/physical world. Pisces energy, on the other hand, is “head in the clouds” and tends to not be (as) realistic (or live in the real world) at all. There are so many things currently going on in the world that have so many people asking “how the hell is this really happening?”….my guess is we are bound to feel even more of this under the course of this transit.
**This could manifest itself in a bunch of different ways. The way that we function in real life is probably subject to change (which, through the shift, can cause things to feel “unreal”).

Fixing vs Dissolving
Virgo energy is the “fixer” – it wants to fix and make things better (to be helpful, to be of use, etc.). Under the duration of this transit, I think we will all find (collectively and individually) that some things just can’t be fixed. Sometimes the only way to really “fix” something is to let it dissolve…perhaps because it is beyond fixing in the first place.
**In terms of the world at large, often times it feels like we are putting band aids on bullet holes (putting band aids on things that just can’t be fucking fixed). In my opinion, there are things that NEED to desperately be allowed to dissolve, and I would bet that you, the reader, can think of some things that need to be allowed to be dissolved, too (both collectively and individually).

Health vs Healing
They sound like they could be the same thing, but they really aren’t. You can be “healthy” and not actually be healing yourself (or healed). Virgo energy is concerned with health and healthfulness (especially of the physical body and the mind), but Pisces energy tends to deal with healing (especially that of the mind and soul). A person can live an incredibly healthy lifestyle (eating “right,” exercising, etc.) and be SO unhealed on the inside. The transiting nodes doing their thing over the next 18 months feels like it will be calling us (collectively and/or individually) to ask what “healthy” actually is and if we are actually in a state of healing.
**Let’s face it, we are ALL needing to heal from SOMETHING. This world is a rough place.

Guilt/Shame vs Release
Virgo energy can tend to feel guilt and shame…and oftentimes I find that this energy can feel guilt and shame for no good reason. In *some* cases there may actually be something for Virgo energy to be guilty about, but it can take that guilt to extremes (which then can spiral into shame). Guilt *can* be a useful emotion for it can help us to do better next time. Shame, on the other hand, never breeds anything helpful or useful. Regardless of why the guilt and/or shame may exist on a collective and/or individual level, there is a need for release of anything along those lines while the transiting North Node is in Pisces.
**Release is actually one of the BEST ways that Pisces energy can manifest in my opinion.

Purity vs Mixture
This one might sound kind of strange so bear with me. Virgo energy can be concerned with “cleanliness” and “purity” (these, like all other expressions, may not always come through with Virgo energy…but they certainly can). This could come about with a focus on keeping things clean and sanitized, all the way over to a preoccupation with “purity” (and a sort of sanitization on steroids). It seems like we could all be coming from (individually and/or collectively) a focus on cleanliness (this could be how to keep things clean and sanitized, or even where we haven’t been as clean as we me have wanted to be/should be). Pisces energy is not focused on any of these notions – it is much more about “blending” and “mixtures” since this energy is so fluid. There will probably be a push towards embracing “the mixture” (though I’m sure there will be push back from those still focused on the notion of “purity”).
**I can see this one going a bunch of different ways. We need to keep in mind that we are ALL mixtures of different things and that’s okay (there is very little that is actually “pure” – people, places, things, and situations).

The Details vs Wholeness
Virgo energy is detail oriented and uses a “micro” lens to see the world around it. Pisces energy, on the other hand, uses a “macro” lens to see the world around it and is more oriented towards wholeness. Under the course of the transit nodes in these signs (with the transit North Node in Pisces), we probably WILL individually and/or collectively be called to focus more on the whole of a situation (whatever that situation might be). This is when the details of certain situations (collectively and/or individually) come together to create the whole of something.
**An example of this is the last time the transiting nodes were along this axis (with the North Node in Pisces) we saw the housing bubble burst (in 2006) and the Great Recession begin (in 2007). For those who had been paying attention to the details for years before this, they were able to see this coming a mile away (maybe not WHEN exactly this was going to happen, but that the pieces were in on the board for something like this to take place). I bring up this specific example because we have seen issues with housing for years now (people not being able to afford homes, etc.). It does make me wonder if something might come about from January 11, 2025 through July 27, 2026 regarding housing (all those different pieces, or details, already appear to be on the board).

Some other quick considerations:
-When looking at the transiting nodes (along with the nodal axis in general), you want to also consider the ruler of the nodes. Mercury, the ruler of the South Node, will change signs (along with turning retrograde) several times throughout these 18 months (too many to name here). The rulers of the North Node in Pisces, Jupiter and Neptune, don’t change signs as often (so their shifts are more significant).
–This transit will start out with Jupiter in Gemini (where it is in “detriement”). From June 9, 2025 through June 30, 2026 Jupiter will be in Cancer (where it is exalted). Exaltation isn’t a “good” thing or a “bad” thing – it just EXAGGERATES the planetary energy in question, meaning it will exaggerate the transiting North Node in Pisces. The North Node’s time in Pisces will end with Jupiter in Leo.
–This transiting nodal axis in Virgo & Pisces will start out with Neptune in Pisces, but on March 30, 2025 Neptune will make its first pass into Aries. THIS is a major shift which will surely impact HOW this transit plays out.

A client of mine who watched the first YouTube video that I did about this nodal transit left a comment saying that what I was saying in the video made her think of the Serenity Prayer. Because this felt extremely nail on the head for the transiting nodes in Virgo & Pisces, I will leave this here:

“(Father), Give us courage to change what must be altered,
serenity to accept what cannot be helped,
and the insight to know the one from the other.”

Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2023

Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2023 at 3:23 pm central time
(Transit Sun at 5-degrees Scorpio/Transit Moon at 5-degrees Taurus with the Lunar Nodes at 24-degrees Libra and Aries)

**Why am I doing a blog post on this? Because I wrote WAAAAAY too much about this for an Instagram post 😂 and wanted to put it somewhere. So here we are. **

I have woken up in the morning with the song “Come Undone” by Duran Duran in my head multiple times over the past 6 months (since the eclipse in early May 2023). This song has come through even more often over the past week or so….and I know it ties in with this last eclipse along the Taurus/Scorpio Axis (the first eclipse along this axis took place on November 19, 2021). There is such a feeling of coming undone with this eclipse (and really, this whole eclipse series). This isn’t meant in a scary or ominous way. In fact, sometimes we must come undone in order to come (back) together. Sometimes things have to come undone so “better” things can take their place.

-Purge and Release have been major themes under this whole eclipse series. Transformation has been another theme. The point of these things is to bring you greater stability, security, and comfort. Is it “comfortable” as you’re going through (and have been going through) the process? Probably not. Does it mean you’ve, maybe, been in the process of coming undone or undoing things in your life? Probably so.

“Can’t ever keep from falling apart at the seams. Cannot believe you’re taking my heart to pieces.”

This eclipse is the last thrust towards releasing and purging what needs to be released or purged in your life. This will look a little different for everyone (it really depends on what the eclipse is doing to your personal natal chart). This could translate to the complete purge and release of a person, place, thing, etc. It could also be a purge and release situation where you’re not completely getting the person, place, thing, etc. out of your life…but rather transforming this into something else (purging what was to usher in something new…and this IS a partial eclipse after all). Scorpio energy (where the transit Sun is) deals heavily with purge and release on an evolutionary level. Scorpio energy can also hold on to things for dear life…even though this energy KNOWS how sweet purging and releasing can be (whether that be a complete release or a transformation). Since this is eclipse is a hybrid one with the Transit South Node in Libra and the transit North Node in Aries, concepts of the self v. relationships probably DO factor into this (at least for a large percentage of people).
**The Transit Sun is also conjunct the Shapley Attractor which gives this purge and release (or transformation!) all the more power. On the flip side of that, should you decide to hold on to something instead, holding on will be even more powerful. Transit Pluto is squaring the nodal axis, giving this an even greater evolutionary flavor, and an even greater push towards transformation and release. To ignore this makes the whole thing feel more difficult.
**The transit Moon is conjunct the Dipole Repeller. This could feel a little like falling into the void. It might not be a bad thing, though (and if it doesn’t feel great, it will pass).

With the transit Moon in Taurus and the transit North Node in Aries, these are the types of questions to ask yourself under this lunation:

– “Does holding on (to something) bring me security and stability? Or does it take my ‘heart to pieces’?”
– “How have I been giving my power away?” or on the flip side of that “How have I been trying to exert power and control over something else to my detriment?”
– “Are my relationships evolving or are they staying exactly the same as they have always been?”

The transit North Node is loosely conjunct transit Chiron, which does add an element of pain to all of this. At the same time, though, it can also add an element of healing. The healing comes when your own independence, drive, instincts, and self aren’t forsaken. Transit Chiron is also quincunx Venus in Virgo (Venus is the ruler of the South Node AND the Moon in Taurus), meaning they are not seeing or feeling one another clearly. Venus in Virgo values notions like helpfulness; don’t forget about helping yourself, too, here. Also, try to wash for being a glutton for punishment. Virgo energy can tend to be and feel guilty and shameful for things that it has no reason to feel guilty and shameful for (or it feels this in disproportionate levels for what the situation calls). Being a “glutton for punishment” say, by way of holding on to things and people that need to be released (or just holding on to the way that things ARE rather than leaning into the transformation necessary) isn’t the way to go here. THIS ends up being where the pain of Chiron comes into play if this being a glutton for punishment (or something like it) isn’t seen.

The South Node is quincunx Neptune Rx in Pisces. Neptune Rx wants to break through the illusions and “clouding” that Neptune tends to deal in. Since it’s quincunx the South Node, and the South Node is where we are more “comfortable” or what we are more “familiar” with, it might be even harder to break through here. Not impossible, just more difficult. Make sure you’re seeing things as clearly as possible, especially regarding anything that you might be trying to release, purge, and/or transform.

Saturn Rx in Pisces trine the Sun and South Node while also sextile the Moon and North Node stands out as well. Saturn in Pisces can point towards structures (Saturn) dissolving or coming undone (Pisces). This “coming undone” naturally wants to happen, but we can’t get lazy with it (trines can be lazy sometimes since things come so “easy”). If things feel like they are coming undone….keep consciously going with it (the sextile from Saturn to the North Node and the Moon wants this).

Happy release, purging, and transformation everyone! I hope, in whatever way that it comes, it brings you all the stability and security you want and need.

Galactic Center Thoughts part XVII or: more examples for MAYBE how to incorporate the GC into chart weaving

**Here is the video for the first chart in this blog post, for all of you that would rather watch than read. Here is the video for the second chart.**

There were a couple of people who volunteered as tribute for me to take a look at their charts from the lens of the GC. Both of these charts are very interesting for different reasons (for the different GC contacts that they make and what else is going on in the charts). If you have watched the videos, I know when I was talking about these charts I was so excited to be doing them in the first place I KNOW that I left some shit out lol (so keep reading – I didn’t leave a bunch of shit out of the videos, but I know I forgot to mention a couple of things).

As you will see from these examples in this post, along with those in my last blog post, there are lots of ways that all of this can go and this depends heavily on what is actually going on at the GC and elsewhere in the chart.

I also want to include the disclaimer that I am JUST FUCKING WITH ASTROLOGY HERE. While I do feel like, at this point I do have a decent handle on the GC from an astrological point of view (and even from a scientific point of view), it’s the blending of the two that I’m still fleshing out. I know astrology and science don’t always blend nicely (lol), but I do like to apply science to stuff like this (and incorporating intuition) when figuring things out and fucking with shit. This is how we learn (or, lol, how I learn). I also reserve the right for any and all of this to be wrong down the line and I am in no way, shape, or form saying that any of this is universal truth.

This chart belongs to someone who has participated in the research. As you can see, Neptune (retrograde) is conjunct the GC the most closely at 28-degrees Sagittarius, with Jupiter (retrograde) ALSO conjunct the GC (though by a wider orb since Jupiter is at 3-degrees Capricorn). This means that all the energy at the GC is going to touch Neptune the most, and then touch Jupiter (Jupiter is definitely impacted here, but I would bet that Neptune takes on more of the energy at the GC). Since Neptune is involved (and Neptune isn’t totally conscious or living in the real world as it is) I do wonder if having Neptune in such a physical/real world house (being in the 6th House) might actually cause this person to be able to BRING things that are more “surreal” or “unreal” INTO the real world (or the energy from the GC might cause Neptune to function this way). I don’t KNOW if this is actually the case, but I could see it going that way (either way, Neptune is going to be fucking charged). The 9th House with Pisces on the cusp and the 6th House with Sagittarius on the cusp will both BEND to the Neptune/Jupiter/GC thing, meaning that what this person believes, higher learning (and other 9th House things) will bend to the GC (or be amplified/charged/distorted/etc. by the GC). Same thing for the 6th House disposing of itself to the GC and the 6th House (this person really needs to believe in the way that they live their daily life, and the work that they do, among other 6th House things and with Sagittarius on the 6th House cusp).
**In this chart, the GC is technically in the 5th House which means that areas of life dealing with creative self expression, risk taking, things they do for enjoyment, and even the notions of any children they might have will ALSO be impacted by the GC, too. These areas of life are probably charged/amplified/distorted/etc. as well. You could also play with other areas of life that the 5th House represents, too.
-Jupiter is Retrograde in this chart which, I think, causes this person to be pretty in-tune with the GC naturally. This is probably amplified with Jupiter conjunct the GC.
-Jupiter and Mars are out of bounds in this chart, which also probably acts to get this person even more in-tune with the GC energy.
-They have nothing conjunct the Galactic Anti-Center. The GaC is actually in the 11th House (just barely) but this area would extend beyond the 11th House and into the 12th. This means that these two houses in the chart might be a little more blinded or clouded over (areas of life dealing with long-term goals and hopes, groups of people, etc. per the 11th House and shit in the unconscious per the 12th House, among other things). Now, with Gemini on the 12th House cusp, this makes me think that unconscious communication (the kind that would happen in the 12th House), or even just the unconscious thought patterns and processes in general might be more blinded or clouded over. The overflow of energy (or something like “overflow”) is going to strike that area of the chart. When this happens, it might end up lighting up this part of the chart so that it can be seen (even if there is some damage that happens here in the process).
-This person has the Sun and Mercury trine the GC in the 2nd House in Virgo. Mercury is closer to being exactly trine the GC/sextile the GaC, so this would be the planet that I would look at first for being able to translate stuff from the GC down to Earth. It will also function as a grounding force for the lightning rod that is the GaC. This is interesting because Mercury is Retrograde, and I have mentioned before that I think Mercury Rx has an affinity for the GaC – so I actually think this person having Mercury Rx as the grounding force is pretty advantageous. What matters here is that this person functions from both of the Retrograde motions of Mercury and Jupiter in tandem (and something tells me since Jupiter is Rx and conjunct the GC they may function from the Rx motion of Jupiter while not functioning from the Rx motion of Mercury as easily). These planets are trine one another, Mercury and Jupiter, which definitely tells me that they CAN function from BOTH planets from the Rx motion in tandem – BOTH just need to be utilized.
-Mercury Rx will be thrown a whole bunch of mental noise. There can be issues with knowing exactly what they should be taking into their mental headspace AND difficulty knowing what to communicate back out in the most proficient and “perfect” ways. I have to wonder if this person actually values what they have to communicate in the first place, and if they don’t, that ought to change. Tuning out all the bullshit that doesn’t actually matter to this person and not being a waste basket for other people’s noise seems like it should be said here (they need to value themselves for more than this, and they also need to be valued for more than this). This is very important. It is also important that while they can see the big picture, they still need to break things down from backwards motion (per Jupiter being Rx) to understand what they know and why they know it. As they are doing this, they need to, at the same time, be taking in information that is actually relevant to them and put this information together piece by piece, and step by step (per Mercury Rx), filtering out the shit that doesn’t actually need to be taken in. Mercury Rx and Jupiter Rx in a chart together need to find a way to “meet in the middle” in general, but here it feels even more important.
-Operating from the Mercury Rx motion helps to translate things “downloaded,” intuited, or “inspired” by the GC ….. but operating from the Rx motion of Mercury is critical to this.

This chart belongs to someone else who was nice enough to allow me to look at their chart from this lens who has participated in the research. The first thing I notice is that the North Node is conjunct the GC. This puts this person’s soul mission per the North Node merging with all the energy of the GC. This makes me think that this person probably does feel like they definitely HAVE a purpose in this lifetime, and I feel like this purpose probably does feel charged (or amplified/distorted/etc. but definitely charged). Even if they aren’t 100% sure what their purpose actually is, I would also think that in a lot of ways they might feel pulled towards it anyway (toward this purpose).
-This person has Mercury, Mars, and the South Node conjunct the Galactic Anti-Center in the 5th House. That’s quite a few things conjunct the GaC, which makes me think that these planets (and the South Node) probably do sustain some damage, though since there are multiple things conjunct the GaC it feels like the damage might be dispersed among the three things. The South Node is what is closest to the GaC via conjunction, so the South Node does seem like it probably takes the most damage. The 3rd House with Aries on the cusp, the 5th House with Gemini on the cusp, and the 10th House with Scorpio on the cusp (if you use traditional rulership or use traditional rulership with modern rulership) will all bend to Mercury, Mars, the 5th House and the GC (meaning the GC will amplify/distort/charge/etc. the way that these house bend to their planetary rulership.
–Now THIS begs some other questions from a past life perspective because of the South Node being involved. Does the South Node conjunct the GaC indicate some kind of previous life damage (I guess it could)? Or could it be pointing to not being able to clearly see or feel how the South Node functions (and thus maybe having a harder time seeing where they “come from” from a previous lifetime lens)? This also seems possible. Mars and Mercury are also here, and it makes me think that while they are very in-tune with the GC energy (they are both out of bounds – I forgot to mention this in the video), I do wonder if they are felt in the way that they should be felt from a previous lifetime perspective (and what we carry with us from our previous lifetime into this lifetime does help us to figure out where to “go” in this lifetime – it all needs to be understood). So I could see something happening here that while this person is very geared to the GC and probably feels a strong calling to something per soul mission stuff, fleshing out how Mercury and Mars play into the equation might be harder (or being able to see them from a previous lifetime lens to work through what needs to be worked through to move them towards the North Node entirely). I don’t want to get too personal, lol, but that’s what this feels like here (or what could be going on here….or going on at some previous point in their lifetime).
-This person has 3 things trine the GC/sextile the GaC and those are the Descendant, the Moon, and Pluto. While any of those could function as a translator for the GC and a grounding force for the GaC, my first choice for them to work with in this way would be the Moon since it is a personal/inner planet. With the Moon being so close to the Descendant, any parts of their shadow side (per the Descendant) that involve emotions will need to be understood for the Moon to function as a translator and a grounding force the way I think it can (those things will need to be explored for sure, though). Once those Moon/Descendant issues are understood, this person’s emotions are probably an incredibly powerful translator. They could most definitely work with Pluto, too – and having Pluto here is interesting.
–Pluto functions similarly to the South Node (among also doing other Pluto shit, lol). So, while the part of their past per the South Node in the 5th House may not be as well understood (or how these themes might play out in their life this time around), Pluto probably is better understood, and really, it’s probably THROUGH Pluto that this person is able to get in touch with what they need to learn about their most recent previous lifetime in order to move forward in this lifetime (it kind of grounds any shocking that the South Node takes on in this lifetime, or even has taken on, from a previous lifetime and maybe clarifies things). It also seems like regeneration is probably a big deal with how this person translates their mission down to Earth best of all – almost like regenerating the understanding of the South Node through Pluto (and I do think that it might be kind of like they needed to pick up in this lifetime where they left off in the last one – this is what I mean by regenerative). They just need to remember where they left off to get to where they wanted to be.

To the both of you who let me do this, thank you so much for the pleasure ^_^ There is much more shit I could’ve said, but didn’t want to due to the public nature of where I’m posting this stuff. Hopefully you both get the idea, though. And for everyone else reading this stuff, hopefully you get the idea, too, just in a less personal way.

The Moon Out of Bounds in an Astrology Chart or: “Where the hell do you think you’re going?”

In the previous post about Out of Bounds planets, it was mentioned which planets go out of bounds, and which ones do not (so I won’t recap all of that here again). We’ll jump right in with the planet that gets out from under the Sun’s grasp the most often, which is of course the Moon. The time that this happens with the most frequency is every 18.6 years or so (when the North Node is at 0° Aries), and the Moon gives a giant middle finger to the Sun’s gravitational pull, and does what it wants, how it wants, when it wants. Now, what does it look like when the Moon goes out of bounds you ask? And how does this manifest in a person’s life? Let’s take a look at what can happen.
**Keep in mind that the closer to the maximum declination of 28.5 degrees that the Moon finds itself, the more extreme the OOB Moon will be felt by the person and will come out to play in real life.**

When the Moon goes out of bounds, the person will absolutely feel it even if the OOB Moon isn’t as easily “seen” outwardly (though it usually is to some degree). Being out of bounds frees the Moon from any restriction and being “fenced in” that it might feel or face (from the sign that it falls under, the house that it resides in, and the aspects it makes), as well as from any outward restriction that society tries to impose. It also can cause the person to feel that they don’t quite belong here or anywhere, that they don’t quite fit in to societal norms, and some may actually feel that they are not actually of this planet/this dimension. Point blank, most all people that I’ve known with the Moon OOB have a distinct feeling, and usually quite early on, of being different from other people. This can be a more “positive” type of difference (such as being some sort of visionary genuis and using this ability towards bettering the world somehow), or a more “negative” type of difference (such as someone who doesn’t give a fuck about any laws that are set up in society, and breaks them every chance they get). A lot of the time, the OOB Moon person will be a little of both options above. Either way, or any way, this distinct feeling of being “different” can cause the person to feel some very intense loneliness at times, while other times they may fully delight in this feeling of being different from the masses.
*I put positive and negative in quotes above because depending on the way you personally feel about those examples in question will depend on if you think they’re positive or negative.

Another common theme with the out of bounds Moon tends to be a sensitivity that runs deep to their very core (and very big emotions and feelings), though the outside world may not ever know or realize this about these people. They are deeply emotional (even in the less traditionally emotional Moon Signs of Virgo, Aquarius, and Capricorn), and they know this about themselves and all the vulnerability that can come with it. While vulnerable, some people with the OOB Moon will embrace this vulnerability easily, while others will try to stuff it away in a place that no one else can reach it. It does tend to be sensed in some way by other people and by the world, even if the person has tried their best to hide it away. This can cause the OOB Moon native to be left wide open for people to mercilessly walk all over and all across any personal boundaries they try to set up. This isn’t always meant in an intrusive way by the person walking all over the boundaries of those with the OOB Moon; the person in question may really just sense the OOB person’s vulnerability and want to be of help. Though, there are those people who don’t necessarily have the best interest of the OOB Moon person at heart while walking all over their boundaries. They may be trying to find some weakness to exploit, or have some other nefarious reason for their actions. Luckily, being massively intuitive is also a card that the OOB Moon person has in their back pocket and they are usually able to tell (or feel) the difference between such people. Not only intuitive, these people seem to have some kind of link to the subconscious/unconscious mind (whether they realize this or not), as well as being highly empathetic beings.

Since boundaries were mentioned in the paragraph above, these people tend to be able to shatter boundaries themselves. Though this isn’t usually in an intrusive way of getting into the personal business of other people/walking all over personal boundaries, but more of a way that they don’t see universal boundaries (and norms) in the same way as other people. This can be seen in the OOB moon person shattering the boundaries of traditional society and thought; they can been found talking about things that don’t typically get discussed openly in public, to thinking about the “impossible” and making it possible, to being their different or “weird” selves in ‘out in the wild’, to completely shattering societal conventions in favor of living lawlessly (and this can be found in the friendly type lawless person all the way over to the sociopathic criminal). Regardless of the personality here, there is probably a different sort of code that these people live by…..which is how we end up with the visionary genius, the weirdo, the sensitive empath, and the sociopathic criminal all as possible outcomes here (among other possibilities). All of these people tend to view the world differently than other people, and thus their morals and ethics will be colored by how they view the world (and vice versa). To see what sort of code the OOB Moon person lives by, you would want to look at the sign the out of bounds Moon falls, the house in which is resides, and any aspects made to the Moon.

I could see the out of bounds Moon as possibly manifesting as a sort of extreme depending on the sign the Moon falls in. For example, since there is something very Uranian/Aquarian about the OOB Moon anyway, I’d imagine that the person with an OOB Moon in Aquarius would probably become even more visionary in their thoughts and probably quite intuitive and spiritual (since Aquarius is a universal sign), and using this for the good. Someone who’s easily able to connect with the collective on a subconscious/unconscious level and in a very humanitarian way. I could also see the pendulum swinging in the opposite direction; someone who almost goes “mad” from all of their visionary thought, or someone who says “fuck this” to society and when doing this leaves the concept of “humanity” behind…either by way of walking away from society entirely and living out in the woods in a Unibomber-esque fashion, or just really not giving a fuck about society in general and the impact that they have on it.

As someone with their Moon in Capricorn Out of Bounds Moon, I’d love to hear any personal experience of having one from anyone reading this. Let’s discuss! 🙂 If you would like me to read out of bounds planets in your chart (or any kind of astrology chart reading), get a reading from me here 🙂 Also, if you are more of a watcher than a reader, head to my YouTube channel where I have a bunch of content on Saturn, synastry, and a whole bunch more.

What are Out of Bounds (OOB) Planets in an Astrology Chart?

I have a personal fascination with Out of Bounds Planets (aka “OOB”). This fascination began for me when I realized that I had 3 planets out of bounds in my planetary makeup. This got me curious about what exactly this meant for me, and what this meant for other people with OOB planets, and how a planet being OOB might manifest in one’s life. Let’s start with some general housekeeping and understanding of what an OOB planet actually is. A planet is considered out of bounds when its declination is anywhere beyond 23 degrees 26 minutes and 28 seconds north or south of the celestial equator. When the planet goes out of bounds, it means it that is is no longer under the dominion of the Sun…..and out of sight and out of pull, the planet can behave how it wants. Certain planets tend to go OOB more often than others, while some planets never go OOB at all.

To see if you have any planets out of bounds, go to Astro.com and create your natal chart (create an account first if you don’t already have one). Once you have created your chart and have it pulled up, click on “additional tables” that you will find above the natal chart that you created. Once clicked on, the first page of the PDF should look like the image below. You will want to turn your attention to the “Declination” column, and see if any of the declinations in your chart exceed 23 degrees 27 minutes. If one does, the you have an OOB planet (or you could have a few, as in the case of yours truly).
**The table that is pictured below comes from Astro Gold, not astro.com (but astro.com is a free software and the table will look similar.

An example from my chart of the declinations of my out of bounds planets. My Moon, Venus, and Uranus are all out of bounds.

The Moon goes out of bounds the most often, with some years producing more OOB people than others. This has to do with the Nodes of the Moon; every 18.6 years or so the North Node finds itself at 0 degrees Aries. The years this occurs, the Moon can find itself at a declination up to 28.5 degrees. The closer to 0 degrees Aries your North Node is, the further OOB your Moon will be. In the last 70 years or so, the years that have produced the most OOB Moon people are 1950, 1969, late 1987-early 1988, and 2006. Mercury, Venus, and Mars go OOB somewhat often, but they usually don’t exceed a declination of 27 degrees (though every once in a while Venus and Mars can reach 28 degrees). Uranus and Pluto don’t go beyond 24 degrees (if they even ever really reach a declination 24 degrees), and since these are much slower moving planets, these planets going OOB tend to be a generational thing, and felt on a generational level. Jupiter hardly ever goes OOB, and when it does it never goes far beyond that 23 degrees 27 minute mark. Saturn and Neptune never go OOB, as well as the Sun (duh).

Since out of bounds planets have moved beyond the Sun’s line of sight, they are able to operate in a “different” way than they typically would. This “different” sort of way could be a way completely abnormal to the planet and the energy involved, or it cause the planet’s energy to become exalted and extremely well-developed. Planets out of bounds tend to produce visionary, free-thinking, and deeply original people in all areas of life, but especially in the arenas dealing with the planet and its energy. These people tend to operate outside of the confines of regular society, thinking and living outside of the box. The person will probably be regarded as “weird” in some way (which many OOB people don’t mind, and kind of enjoy, especially as they get older). Depending on the planet involved and aspects made to the planet in the chart of the native, the OOB planet can be a positive or negative attribute (sometimes it’s a little from column A & column B). The further OOB the planet is, the more that OOB energy will be expressed, noticeable, and felt by the native (and other people). Because the Moon goes out of bounds the most frequently with the highest declinations, its OOB effects tend to be seen and felt the most.

I know there are astrologers/students of astrology that don’t pay much attention to out of bounds planets. This could be due to lack of information on the subject, not realizing OOB planets are a “thing”, or just a personal preference of not believing them to mean much in the overall makeup of the chart. I disagree with the last part very much. Being born in late 1987 myself, I went to school/grew up with people born during the height of an out of bounds Moon season. Now, I realize that adolescence is a strange time and teenagers can be kind of strange in general while on their quest to find and figure themselves out. But the group of kids my age, in my “class” seemed to be a hodge-podge of extreme emotional weirdos; from people that were just crazy intuitive from a very young age, to those that were more eccentric than your everyday teenager, to those who just really & truly had no fucks to give about anything, my class had them all (and at a higher rate it seemed than the class above and the class below mine). Because of my own experience, and watching people my own age operate a little different than other people, I just can’t believe that there isn’t something to out of bounds Planets in one’s natal chart.

North & South Nodes along the Cancer/Capricorn Axis

**In this post in the series, we will take the House that the North Node falls in out of the equation and just focus on what it means to have your North Node in a specific sign (and what it means to have the South Node in the polarity sign). Usually with things having to do with the Nodal Axis (and growing into our North Node), a catalyst occurs in our lives that edges us out of the comfort of the South Node and into the uncharted territory of the North. This catalyst could be something major and life changing (such as a death, marriage, or divorce), or even something much more minor. Something will kind of shake us internally, saying “Wake up, fucker. You’re supposed to move beyond this,” whatever the “this” in the situation is. Once this waking up occurs, you will begin to move towards the North Node. Though, in all my years of study, this period of waking up usually doesn’t occur until the person’s first Saturn Return, or after it.**

North Node in Cancer/South Node in Capricorn: If your North Node falls in Cancer, this makes you North Node mission all about being of support to others and accepting that same support in return, learning how to be vulnerable, emotional and sensitive (and coming to terms with this side of yourself), and home/domestic life & family. With your South Node falling Capricorn, in a previous life/lives, you were probably in control of your emotions and vulnerability at all times; you didn’t freely express this side of yourself, even at times when you probably should have. There was also probably quite an emphasis on your career and ambitions (Oh! You were probably very ambitious!), as well as on your well crafted public persona. You probably really got off on being at the very top of the social echelon. There is also an element of authority here with Capricorn, and in previous lives you very well could’ve held some kind of authority by way of everything else mentioned (and probably got off on this, too). Even though some (or all) of these themes and areas of life may feel the most comfortable to you in this lifetime, you are supposed to move into your Cancer North Node. In this lifetime, you are supposed to dive headfirst into the more private spheres of life, to really understand yourself and your emotions and sensitivies, and allow them to freely show. This is all about possibly putting career ambitions behind those needs of caring for your family (either the one you are born into or the one you create for yourself). This can either mean just caring and nurturing your family in day to day life, but can also mean taking care of and nurturing sick or ailing family members. In previous lives you also took care of yourself, for yourself. In this lifetime, you’re supposed to move into not only being a supportive force for those you truly love and care about, but to also allow them to support you as well. I could imagine the catalyst towards moving into your Cancer North Node being something along the lines of either having your own child or having to care for a loved one for a period of time. Before this would happen, you would probably be more focused on those career ambitions and the more public areas of life. Once life kind of takes you a different way (possibly even by force or an unexpected situation), you would then begin to grow into the Cancer North Node.

North Node in Capricorn/South Node in Cancer: If your North Node ends up falling in Capricorn, this is the lifetime where you are supposed to be *very* ambitious in regards to your career aspirations. This is a lifetime that is meant to be lived in the public spheres of life, climbing that social ladder for the highest amount of social status obtainable, working your public presence to your advantage, as well as really harnessing your own personal authority that is wanting to come out (and being comfortable with it). You probably really wanted to get a firm grip on your emotions in this lifetime, and become more even-keeled in this respect (not letting them dominate and rule you). There is probably also a real soul desire to completely be able to take care of yourself (being completely self-sufficient), and not actually needing anyone else in that arena to do that for you. With Cancer as your South Node, in past life (or lives) you may have spent a great deal of time being the support and nurturing force for other people (especially in the domain of the home). You may not have cared very much for career and the ambitions that come with it, for climbing the social ladder, for if you had a “public persona” or not. Your life was very focused on the more private side of life. There may have also been issues with your own emotions, sensitivity, and vulnerability, and they may have manifested in a way that you couldn’t easily reel them in (or they were mis-used possibly somehow). And authority…..there probably wasn’t a whole lot of that which you actively crafted and used. There could have also been issues with you not being self-sufficient in previous lives, either by choice (such as your spouse worked so you didn’t), or because there was some actual physical/mental issue that kept you unable to fully fly on your own, meaning you needed constant support from other people. You may be naturally more drawn towards the South Node (things are usually more comfortable there), and may feel like the North Node soul mission doesn’t speak to you at all. A catalyst usually must occur first before it does “speak” to you, and I could see a catalyst here as being someone who has spent a great deal of their time in this current incarnation caring for other people (such as being a stay at home mom/dad). Something happens that forces you into getting a job/getting into a career, and this awakens the Capricorn North Node and would allow you to grow into it.

To flesh out the nodal axis story further (to get the whole picture), you will need to also consider where the planetary ruler of the North and South Nodes fall in the chart by sign, house, and aspects made. In the case of Cancer and Capricorn you would be looking at the Moon and Saturn.

Skipped Steps in the Natal Chart (and how to read them)

Questions about past lives, the soul’s mission (or what a soul wants to accomplish this time around) and karma are always popular questions that I get regularly. Specifically, I tend to get asked about past life issues and karma that are needed to be dealt with in this lifetime, and how these issues might manifest in the current incarnation. There are different places to look in your natal chart (or any astrology chart, such as a synastry/composite chart) to to find unresolved karmic and past life elements, and one of the first place I look (after looking at the North & South Nodes and Pluto and its Polarity Point) is at any planets that may be making a square aspect with the North & South Nodes. If you have any planetary/celestial bodies squaring the Nodes, this is known as a “Skipped Step.” A Skipped Step is a planet(s), etc. that deal with unresolved issues that you have carried over from a previous lifetime (or lifetimes) into this lifetime. This may have been an issue (or issues) that you chose to willfully ignore in the past, or something that you didn’t recognize as an issue, or even something you just didn’t have the time in other incarnations to completely work out. Basically, there could be a whole bunch of reasons a planet might come around in this lifetime as a skipped step. You can have multiple planets square the Nodes (such as in the case of a Stellium square the Nodes, or even just planets in conjunction), you can have just one planet square the Nodes, and you can also have planets in opposition to one another that both square the nodal axis (in the case of the Grand Cross). Just to illustrate what Skipped Steps look like in a natal chart, here is an example:

Skipped Steps from my own Natal Chart (circled in white) and the nodal axis – The North Node in the 4th @ 0 Aries 17 is Square 1st House Venus @ 25 Sagittarius 40, Uranus @ 25 Sagittarius 26 (and by proxy, Saturn @ 21 Sagittarius 05), is square the South Node in the 10th House @ 0 Libra 17, is square Chiron @ 27 Gemini 25, is square the North Node.

Now, you may be looking at a chart that looks like my own, or you may be looking at one that doesn’t have the Grand Cross formation (but instead just one planet square the Nodes). I would keep the orbs tighter here with planets and other major celestial bodies square the Nodes. Generally speaking, that will be 5° applying or separating between the planet, etc. and the nodal axis. I say generally speaking because there are some cases where I would extend the orb when a planet squares the nodes. Any planet that doesn’t actually square the Node but conjuncts a planet that squares the Node will color the Skipped Step with that planets energy, thus ending up being square it to by proxy. An example of this is Saturn in my own chart above. It would technically be out of orb for me to consider it a Skipped Step on it’s own, but since it is in conjunction with Uranus and Venus, by proxy it becomes part of the Skipped Step theme. Depending on the planets and celestial bodies involved in the Skipped Step, you will be able to get an idea of what exactly was missed or not understood or integrated in your past life, and what you are really supposed to learn and understand in this life. The more planets involved in the this formation, the more possible it seems that these issues have been going on for many lifetimes. Even if they haven’t been going on for many lifetimes, in some lifetime tied to this one these planets (and what they want to express) have been avoided in some way, compounding and gaining interest. Because these are in a square formation, there is naturally tension that the native is probably unable to avoid or ignore in this lifetime. One way to help yourself along this journey is to look at the “Resolution Node,” which is essentially the Node (either the North or the South Node) that was last in conjunction with the planet (or planets) in the square formation. To do this turn the North Node/South Node Axis counter-clockwise in your mind to see what planet(s) in the square formation were last in conjunction with what Node. By doing this, you can get a better idea as to how you can resolve these Skipped Step(s) issues. To take an example from my own chart, I need to work through my Uranus, Venus (and Saturn) shit and I have to go back to the South Node to work through these issues (since the South Node was the last Node in conjunction with these planets). Since Chiron was last in conjunction with my North Node, I would be working through the Chiron Skipped Step with the North Node. Actually, in the case of a Grand Cross, usually you are working through both steps somehow simultaneously (and are cosmically forced too), just through the different Nodal energies.

You can also apply this same concept to synastry charts. If you have a Skipped Step (or Skipped Steps) in your own natal chart, look to see if your synastry partner has a planet/celestial body that conjuncts (specifically the conjunction aspect here) your skipped step(s). If this happens to be the case, this person is generally tied into your Skipped Step issue from a past life (perhaps they were actually IN your previous lifetime, or perhaps they are supposed to help you work through it in this lifetime, among other possibilities). The energy and way they are tied in depends on the planet of theirs that is in conjunction with your Skipped Step. There could be very strong feelings between the two of you (that you bring out in one another), but those feelings may or may not always “feel” good. How this actually manifests in real life depends on what the rest of the synastry looks like. The planet/celestial body person might force (even unconsciously) the skipped step person to acknowledge that skipped step planetary energy (and harness it).

More on all of this later 🙂 If you have any questions or comments, let’s talk! And if you would like for me to read your astrology chart (any kind of astrology chart) you can do that here. Also, for those of you who are watchers and not readers I have a whole bunch of videos on this subject on Saturn Season Astrology YouTube channel (just type Skipped Steps in the search on the channel and a bunch of stuff should come up).
