It’s because the nodes of the moon are always 180° from each other, on opposite sides of the zodiac. When the Sun approaches one of the lunar nodes every 6 months, it slots into the perfect geometric relationship to form eclipses during the new and full moons. The (“true”) lunar nodes entered Gemini and Sagittarius in May 2020, and they will remain in this axis until January 18th, 2022. The final eclipse on this axis, before the nodes switch to Taurus and Scorpio, will occur on December 3rd, 2021 in Sagittarius. Eclipses can bring plot twists in the corner of the chart they fall in. A South Node eclipse (which we’ll experience on December 3rd) can initiate processes of release: the jettisoning or letting go that must occur before we rebuild from sturdier foundations. The North Node eclipse (which we experienced most recently on June 10th, 2021) can bring people, things, or events into our life. Both can be thrilling. Both contain their own dragons. The following horoscopes invite you to consider how the transiting North Node in Gemini and South Node in Sagittarius activate your own patterns of catch and release, or hunger and shedding.

The stimulating, nuanced conversations you’re having right now are actually moving the goalposts quite a bit, and you might find that your entire frame of mind will have shifted by the time 2021 draws to a close. Those books, podcasts, and blog posts you’ve been consuming with a quickened appetite are finding you for a reason. Diversifying your media consumption and following new people online is akin to throwing breadcrumbs on your proverbial path, and your output could very well match your input if you’ve been busy documenting your inspiration. New developments with siblings, extended family, or neighbors could also be the site of a major plotline. South Node in Sagittarius An extended period of reckoning with your teachers has a way of changing your outlook on life, but that doesn’t cancel out the deflated-tire feeling of losing respect for the mentors who taught you so much. Still, diverging from what may very well be an elitist, problematic, and/or centralized institution is a common step along the path for many a great thinker. Questioning your politics, beliefs, and spiritual lineages is the whole point right now; inviting in greater nuance will help metabolize that processed matter into compost for your mind. This may also be a time for turning away from some of your international pursuits in favor of a hyperlocal collaboration, or possibly defecting from whatever was playing the role of “organized religion” in your life to explore your custom-made magical praxis. [Taurus glyph] []Taurus & Taurus Rising North Node in Gemini You’re in the midst of a growth cycle that may leave you feeling more tangibly resourced than you have in a long time. This could absolutely take the form of a pay raise, but with the North Node throwing open the gates to a very Gemini influx of multiplicity, you might also experiment with diversifying your income streams in a bid for greater security and sovereignty. This will likely involve money, but it doesn’t have to. The real game changer will be the spate of possibilities you’re now in a position to consider, or a new outlook on your survival needs. Before the year draws to a close, you’ll have rewritten your relationship to consumerism, infusing the script with fresh nuance and new ideas. South Node in Sagittarius Change never unfolds in a vacuum. As your personal stockpile expands, previous sources of material support may dwindle. In fact, part of your push toward greater independence might have to do with the fact that you’re in the midst of a separation of some kind, or a moral reckoning with where your money is going. Perhaps you’re feeling more than a little unsupported by the financial mechanisms that are supposed to provide for you. As you disentangle your life from the people, corporations, and institutions you’re losing faith in, consider that divesting from whatever you don’t believe in ultimately creates space in your life for a more nourishing network of support to replace it. [Gemini glyph] []Gemini & Gemini Rising North Node in Gemini Right now, you’re basically hooked up to a firehose of creativity that’s pumping you full of confidence and illuminating all kinds of possibilities for your self-expression. Perhaps there were parts of yourself you sacrificed in 2011 and 2012 for the sake of a relationship, and now you’ve come halfway around the bend and you’re ready to reclaim your power in a radical way. This is a stage in your journey where situations will have to rearrange themselves around your efforts to put yourself first. Some relationships may be tested if other people aren’t down to grow in a compatible direction with you, though there’s also a real risk of having all of your mental and emotional resources consumed by your personal glow-up. South Node in Sagittarius Your empowerment journey may be occurring in response to a major disruption in one of your primary relationships (or vice versa). Even if you’re not literally going through a breakup or a dissolution of some partnership, there’s a certain element of “you can’t go home again” with another person right now. For better or for worse, those changes are all about correcting your course. Even the strongest relationships experience certain inflection points. These are often opportunities to strengthen your commitment to the process and come together with willful and mindful intention. Unless, of course, you’ve decided it’s better to part ways. Then you can think of this as a new beginning for “you” contained within an ending for “we.” [Cancer glyph] []Cancer & Cancer Rising North Node in Gemini When eclipses start turning your attention toward your health, the cues are usually not that subtle. And with the North Node magnifying your appetite for seclusion and rest, it seems as though “me time” is the thing you’re going to be seeking more of in order to arrive back to homeostasis. In the sign of the talkative twins, the North Node encourages you to carve out space to be in conversation with yourself. Though this could merely be a signal to turn inward and opt out of “life as usual” for a spell, this period could also be a time when tending to lingering mental health concerns becomes a bigger focal point or priority. It can also be a time of deep introspection around the ways you work at cross-purposes with yourself, or maybe you’ll finally recognize an external adversary for who they are. South Node in Sagittarius The twists and turns of this year’s eclipse series are urging you to make some changes within the praxis of your self-care. In your case, wellness may be an area of life that’s overcrowded to begin with. The South Node aims to whittle things down to their basics. It asks: What are some habits or health fads you’ve adopted that are not doing that much for you? You might be making some abrupt changes to the ways you support your wellbeing, and that could also involve the amount of work you think you can handle in a given week. Delegating or doing less isn’t a viable option for everyone, but this transit might help you find creative solutions to arrive at a less taxing state of existence. [Leo glyph] []Leo & Leo Rising North Node in Gemini After an extended period of burrowing deeper into your hermit crab shell, the North Node in Gemini invites you back into the social fray. The twists and turns of this year’s eclipse series have likely expanded your network and introduced you to people who are both interesting and interested in the same things you are. You might find yourself falling out of love with a hobby or musical genre during this time, shifting the locus of where you meet community as your interests evolve. Even if you move through this period with all of your cherished pastimes intact, friendships and groups will be a driving force in the plotline. You’re on time to find your people, or at least find where you’re meant to be among them. South Node in Sagittarius Pleasure is fleeting by nature. It also has a way of circumambulating the goalposts and swivelling direction now and then. You’re not meant to want the same things forever, and right now, you’re finding yourself in a liminal place between an old obsession and a new one. Mind you, this is mainly about realizing that certain things might not bring you the same kind of euphoria they used to. This could be a hobby, a musical or artistic medium, a creative pursuit, a bedroom kink, or an approach to leisure. If you’re not down to party like you used to, you’re probably growing into an understanding of what the current version of yourself actually enjoys. If you have children, this could also be about unlearning certain patterns as your relationship with them matures. [Virgo glyph] []Virgo & Virgo Rising North Node in Gemini Ready or not, you’re being thrust into the limelight. And the thing about you is that you were probably born ready, but you’re forever in a state of not feeling finished. This eclipse series might help you get over some of the self-imposed blocks around perfectionism by pushing you to own your impressive body of work — and more importantly, to release it into the world. You are someone who can be counted on to be meticulous in everything you do, and you’re about to receive an extra dose of visibility and recognition to reflect the quality of your work back to you. New opportunities, pathways to advancement, and promotions may be woven into this timeline. South Node in Sagittarius As activity speeds up in your professional sphere, your domestic life might be going through parallel leaps and turns as you relocate, sell a cherished home, or do your best to deal with a taxing living situation. Though it doesn’t necessarily have to be much deeper than that, this is largely about feeling unanchored to some degree, as well as releasing certain aspects of how you identified your ideal sanctuary. Your relationship to your parents or childhood home might also be the seat of profound change right now, as could your knowledge of your ancestry. Your lineages are always feeding you and informing everything you do. Right now, you’re merely letting go of what you thought you knew about your roots. [Libra glyph] []Libra & Libra Rising North Node in Gemini This year’s eclipse series might represent the culmination of your own galaxy brain meme where you say, “Actually, certain things about the organized religion or institutional knowledge I previously rejected are worth a second look, but they land so much differently when I approach them from the standpoint of my current worldview.” This is less about embracing the ivory tower, though, and more about being along for the ride of changing your perspective when you receive new information. Your truth is in flux, and you’re being guided by a trail of metaphysical breadcrumbs to a more interesting and nuanced connection with your politics, your field of study, and even more broadly, the divine. International and cross-cultural connections could also figure strongly into your development at this time. South Node in Sagittarius It’s not just you — the strong urge to declutter your inbox, diminish your screen time, and detox your media consumption is coming from a place of emphatic cosmic guidance. As it is, you’re prone to having too much of a good thing when it comes to your busy mental environment, but this is one of those “less is more” moments. The time is ripe to make a real fresh start around your social media usage and the blinking notification buttons that steal your peace of mind and distract you from the bigger metaphorical novel you’re trying to write. You might also feel eager to apply the same discerning eye to your daily and weekly rhythms. Your time is precious, and your rituals should support you. If it doesn’t serve a purpose or spark joy, thank it and let it go. [Scorpio glyph] []Scorpio & Scorpio Rising North Node in Gemini There were times in your life where dogged self-reliance helped you survive. Right now, you’re experiencing the flipside of that as sudden plot twists encourage you to form stronger bonds of interdependence. With the North Node in multiplicitous Gemini, the big idea is that there’s security in not putting all your eggs in one basket. For you, this might look like merging your life more completely with a partner’s, leaning into mutual aid networks, or planting your resources in places where they can grow on your behalf (or on the behalf of another person or cause that you’re invested in). Though debt is also something that can grow under this influence, it could be the consequence of a wealth-building initiative, like getting a mortgage or investing in your future. South Node in Sagittarius As you commit your resources to mutual undertakings, it’s likely you’ll have less of whatever strictly belongs to you and you alone. Although you may need to tighten your personal budget, the more likely scenario is that you’ll find yourself unlearning assumptions around want versus need, and maybe even around the rugged individualism that made you refuse help in the first place. We’ve all been conditioned to want more of everything no matter what. We’ve all been conditioned to believe that at the end of the day, we’re fundamentally on our own. How will your paradigm shift once you’ve reevaluated your participation in this economy? [Sagittarius glyph] []Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising North Node in Gemini When one door closes, another one opens. And in your case, it looks like that open door has another person walking through it to hang out with you in this liminal space. The sudden connections, introductions, and invitations extended your way over the course of this year’s eclipse series will invariably change your life in some way. If you’re single, you may meet your match, and if you’re matched, your relationship may propel into uncharted territory. Don’t assume romantic love is the only plot of this story, however. The North Node in Gemini is especially keen on inviting duality and nuance into the fold, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that a bevy of new lovers, collaborators, and competitors will be entering from stage left. South Node in Sagittarius With commitments forming a more demanding priority for you over this transit, you may have to relinquish some of the “fly by the seat of your pants” tendencies that have previously directed your movements. It’s no longer just about you, which means you’ll probably have to sacrifice a certain degree of spontaneity in service of what’s required to meet other people’s needs. That’s not to say the fun has to end or that you have to suppress your individual drive. Rather: you’re a snake shedding its skin in response to the growth other people inspire in you. That said, shedding isn’t always a comfortable process, and with the South Node flushing out the part of your chart that relates to your physical body, you may be experiencing more aches, pains or ailments than usual. The body has mysterious ways of clearing itself out, and few of them are enjoyable. But our capacity for self-healing and resilience is extraordinary. [Capricorn glyph] []Capricorn & Capricorn Rising North Node in Gemini It might feel like it’s time to get out of your head and into your body, but with the North Node in cerebral Gemini, the most direct way out will be through. Your wellness and self-care setup is blinking for an oil change, and you’ll probably have to do some fact-finding around the methods that are tailored to your particular health and lifestyle needs. At the same time, eclipses often happen suddenly and right on time, so if there’s a change you’ve been putting off, it might prioritize itself on your behalf, whether you’ve done all the research or not. Interesting projects and gigs may also pile up on your desk, pulling you out of your hermetic bubble and into the fray of material labor. At least some of this work might be instrumental in charting your course, but it’ll be especially important to guard your own needs for rest and work/life balance at this time. South Node in Sagittarius You’ve been through a hell of a time, and you can probably take that somewhat literally. The main thing you need to keep in mind, now that the South Node is no longer in your face (but rather, slipping through barely-perceptible realms of your experience), is that this is not the time for you to hide or isolate yourself needlessly. Some stages of your journey will call for a retreat, but you’ve digested enough loneliness to find greater healing in the trenches of life among your fellow laborers. Given that eclipses often pluck us out of one timeline and into another, this may happen naturally, with or without your conscious participation. Introspection is always well and good, but it can easily devolve into escapism when it’s over-applied. [Aquarius glyph] []Aquarius & Aquarius Rising North Node in Gemini The North Node in Gemini asks you to be fruitful and multiply, but that’s also completely open to your own interpretation. As this series of eclipses pings you with little impulses of proliferation, you might find yourself suddenly bursting with creativity, playfulness, and yes, friskiness. The nature of joy is that you don’t necessarily have to “do” anything with it at all, but if you’re so inclined, you might find that your adventures in the realm of art, fun, and eroticism will actually shift the goalposts for you in a significant way by the time this transit is done. If you’re juggling multiple fruits in the air, all the better. It’s a metaphorical if not literal pregnancy, and you’ve got twins or triplets on the way. South Node in Sagittarius As new creative pastimes stimulate your senses and occupy your mind, you may have fewer resources available to devote to your Zoom hangouts. In one sense or another, you might be growing apart from one of your friend groups or discovering new interests that take you away from a community or scene that once lent you a sense of belonging. Though this doesn’t necessarily entail burning bridges, the South Node in Sagittarius will guide you to release what no longer aligns with your beliefs. If you suddenly find yourself morally or spiritually at odds with the groupthink in the room, it might not feel like an overly complicated decision to become less involved with that scene. [Pisces glyph] []Pisces & Pisces Rising North Node in Gemini Tapping into the ley lines beneath your feet can lead you to some pretty interesting places right now. The North Node in Gemini extends an invitation to explore the multiplicity of pathways that comprise your roots, which could involve stumbling upon a treasure trove of family lore or forging connections with long-lost relatives. Your ancestry could become a key driver in the plot twists of your life during this time, as could reimagining the relationship dynamics with your parents and caregivers. Of course, this could also be as straightforward as a change of residence, or setting your sights on a brand new city to call home. With so many options to consider, where will you land? Stay flexible and interested in how the chatterbox of fate speaks to you right now. South Node in Sagittarius We all have roles to play in life — it’s just that right now, you’re growing a little weary of holding that mantle. This series of eclipses seeks to reposition you on your path to success by assisting you in the process of releasing yesterday’s ambitions. It might also move the goalposts for you by encouraging you to shed an entire snake skin’s worth of the social stigma you’ve been wearing. Perhaps you’ll have to take an extended leave of absence to focus on the demands of home life or to care for a parent. You might literally abandon a career path in order to enter into a greater quest for meaning in your legacy, or maybe you’ll experience a slightly more subtle shift in your personal mission statement. Either way, life is opening up by virtue of the fact that it’s emptying out first. [Instagram]( [Twitter]( [Facebook]( [Website]( Copyright © 2021 Chani Nicholas, All rights reserved.
