The Lunar Nodes in Pisces and Virgo 2025/26 – Trust Over Control
The Lunar Nodes will be in Pisces (North Node) and Virgo (South Node) from January 12, 2025, to July 27, 2026.
Prior to this, from July 17, 2023, to January 12, 2025, the Lunar Nodes moved through Aries (North Node) and Libra (South Node).
A Quick Guide to Terminology:
Lunar Nodes = the points where the Moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic.
North Node = ascending or northern Lunar Node.
South Node = descending or southern Lunar Node.
What Are the Lunar Nodes and What Do They Mean?
The Lunar Nodes are not physical celestial bodies but calculation points marking where the Moon’s orbit intersects the ecliptic.
As transits, the Lunar Nodes reflect archetypal energies and themes vital for both individual and collective evolution during a particular phase.
They move backward through the zodiac. In 2025, the North Node transitions from Aries (the first zodiac sign) into Pisces (the twelfth sign), followed by Aquarius (the eleventh sign), and so on.
The North and South Nodes always form an exact opposition and remain within one archetypal axis for about 18 months, representing opposite zodiac signs (e.g., Aries & Libra, Pisces & Virgo).
It takes approximately 18 years for the Lunar Nodes to complete a cycle through all zodiac signs. The last time we experienced a Pisces North Node and Virgo South Node was from June 2006 to December 2007.
Eclipses (solar and lunar) occur when a New Moon or Full Moon aligns with the Lunar Node axis.
During these eclipse phases, the themes of the respective zodiac signs – Pisces and Virgo in 2025/26 – may become especially potent, amplifying transformation and growth.

Potentials and Challenges with the Lunar Nodes in Pisces and Virgo
After fostering independence with Aries and Libra, the Pisces and Virgo Nodes ask us to:
Develop self-trust,
Strengthen spiritual and intuitive abilities, and
Release unhealthy control and destructive perfectionism.
As you align with your authentic path and free yourself from dependencies (Aries & Libra), you may face feelings of loneliness or self-doubt:
"Is this truly my path? How can I trust myself when no one outside of me validates that I am 'good' or 'right'?"
Pisces – Self-Trust and Divine Guidance
In Pisces, we learn that our earthly, human self is “just” a part of the greater whole – the divine, the universe, and love itself.
A key lesson of the North Node in Pisces is to understand the relationship between personal will and the “true” path of your soul.
It’s about:
Trusting that you are guided,
Realizing you don’t have to manage everything on your own, and
Surrendering to your intuition and divine guidance.
Sometimes, what we think we want doesn’t materialize, only for us to discover later that something far more aligned was waiting for us.
Virgo – Clarity Over Control
In Virgo, we learn the importance of:
Withdrawing regularly to energetically clear yourself,
Cultivating clarity to hear your intuition and divine guidance, and
Letting go of self-sacrifice and the need to help everyone at the expense of your health.
The South Node in Virgo may confront us with:
Our tendency for excessive control,
The discomfort of feeling like things are “slipping away” as we develop more trust, and
Releasing toxic self-perfectionism.
Additional Themes and Potentials of the Pisces-Virgo Nodes

And so much more….
