A Collective Shift Toward Spiritual Surrender and Inner Wisdom
On January 11, 2025, the North Node and South Node have shifted into new signs—Pisces and Virgo. This marks the beginning of a powerful new 18-month collective journey that will last until July 20, 2026.
In astrology, the North Node represents our collective growth edge—what we are meant to lean into, develop, and embrace on a soul level. The South Node symbolizes what we are releasing—our habits, comfort zones, and patterns that once served us but now need to evolve.
For the past 18 months, the Nodes were in Aries and Libra, with a strong emphasis on identity, self-assertion, and the balancing act between autonomy and partnership. Now, the focus shifts toward spirituality, surrender, compassion, and intuitive flow (Pisces), while we begin to release over-reliance on control, routine, perfectionism, and mental overdrive (Virgo).
The Energy of Pisces: Intuition, Mysticism, and Surrender
The North Node in Pisces invites us to dissolve rigid boundaries, soften our control, and trust the unknown. Pisces energy is inherently mystical, connected to the 12th house—governing solitude, dreams, spiritual healing, and the unseen realms.
This transit calls us to:
- Tune into our spiritual needs and inner world.
- Practice compassion and empathy—toward ourselves and others.
- Seek seclusion or stillness when needed, without falling into emotional isolation.
- Embrace practices such as meditation, retreat, journaling, or even time in nature.
- Let go of the need to control everything and go with the flow of life
We may feel the urge to retreat from external noise and spend more time at home or in solitude. Home office, spiritual retreats, or remote living may become more prominent. But with this can come risks: loneliness, confusion, escapism, or over-idealism. Pisces is associated with fog and disorientation—it doesn’t offer a clear roadmap. You may not know exactly where you’re headed, and that’s okay. This is a time to follow your heart and your intuition.
The Shadow Side: Escapism and Overwhelm
With Pisces comes the danger of emotional overwhelm. Escapist behaviors like alcohol, drugs, or fantasy may surface more frequently—attempts to numb the pain or avoid the inner work. Mental health challenges may come into sharper focus. The desire to isolate or disconnect can turn into prolonged loneliness or depression if not balanced with conscious connection and healthy boundaries.
To navigate this transit wisely, we must:
- Stay grounded in real-life connection.
- Reach out to people we love.
- Maintain spiritual routines that nourish us.
- Use Virgo’s clarity and discernment to balance Pisces’ dreaminess.
Releasing Virgo: From Overdoing to Being
The South Node in Virgo represents what we’re leaving behind: excessive busyness, productivity obsession, constant fixing, perfectionism, and over-analyzing. Virgo loves order, schedules, and efficiency—it checks the boxes and makes the plan.
But now, we’re being asked to let go of the never-ending to-do list. The Virgo way of life—hyper-focused on duties, details, and responsibilities—has become too rigid. This doesn’t mean we abandon our responsibilities altogether. Instead, we use Virgo’s gifts (discernment, service, planning) in service of the soul, not the ego.
A World in Transition: Collective Implications
This nodal shift may also bring up larger collective issues. Pisces governs spirituality, faith, and belief systems. As a result, we may see a rise in:
- Global refugee movements.
- Emphasis on religious or spiritual identity.
- Highlighted tensions around faith and belief—and hopefully, also healing.
Let’s hope these themes are integrated with compassion rather than conflict. The world is being invited into a deeper, more spiritual dimension—but that path can be confusing and polarizing if we don’t stay grounded.
Balancing Light and Shadow
There’s a risk of becoming passive, disconnected, or overwhelmed by the enormity of this energetic shift. But there’s also an incredible opportunity: to become more whole, more aware, more aligned with love and intuition.
Even if you don’t know what to do next, just start. Help someone. Be kind. Listen inward. Small acts of empathy and compassion are deeply aligned with this nodal path. Use the clarity you’ve gained through Virgo to support your journey into the unknown with trust, softness, and purpose.
Final Thoughts: A New Chapter Begins
This new chapter is not about achieving or proving. It’s about feeling, surrendering, and becoming. The ego-driven cycle of striving, fixing, and organizing is complete. Now, we are being called inward—toward meaning, toward mystery, toward something we cannot yet fully grasp.
Trust the fog. Listen to your dreams. Don’t worry if the path isn’t clear. The North Node in Pisces is your invitation to follow the current of your soul—and to trust that it’s carrying you exactly where you need to go.
