North Node in Aries, South Node in Libra 2023: what that means for you
“Me, me, me!” versus “I’m doing it for us”
In 2023, July 18, the North Node enters Aries and the South Node into Libra, until January 11, 2025. These aren’t actual planets or asteroids, they are points where: the Moon moves into the northern ecliptic hemisphere (Ascending/North Node) and where the Moon enters the southern ecliptic (Descending/South Node). They are always opposite each other, 6 signs apart on the astrological wheel; they progress counterclockwise and their transit in an axis (like Aries-Libra) is approximately 18 months.
In Vedic astrology, these are called Rahu (North Node, dragon’s head) and Ketu (South Node, dragon’s tail) and their meaning and influence in a birth chart (and further, in the life of an individual), is outstanding. They represent the karma we bring with us in this lifetime and show what we need to work to develop as we progress in life (North Node), while making use of the qualities (and challenges) we are born with.
Now, this karma isn’t just randomly loaded into you at birth. It’s the result of your actions’ cause & effect cycles from previous lifetimes. You don’t necessarily need to believe in past lives to feel the influence of the lunar nodes in this lifetime, in their respective signs and houses you were born with.
