The nodes transiting the Taurus-Scorpio axis will spotlight our survival instincts and sense of safety. This transit will influence us for a year and a half — its cycle began on January 19, 2022, and will end on July 17, 2023. Taurus and Scorpio are the zodiac signs that rule finances (what you earn and what you inherit) and how you prepare and protect yourself from harm vs. how you develop resilience after experiencing the harshness of life. Relying on yourself vs. relying on others when it comes to feeling worthy will be another theme that’s illuminated during this nodal transit. The shadows of our human behaviour and the skeletons that reside in the closets of our world leaders and our national agendas will be forced into the light, motivating us to make positive changes in the world and to have honest conversations about how we can progress as a global community.
South Node In Scorpio
The south node in Scorpio signifies karmic decrease and the comfort zone which we must step out of to grow as a collective. Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, carrying fixed water energy. This archetype has an inner sensitivity and intuitive nature, signature to the water element, yet the stubborn, protective, and persistent nature of fixed signs.
There is no compromise when it comes to the development of the New Earth. Everything signature to an unconscious and destructive society must be left behind so that we can better the world.
The South Node in Scorpio reflects the comfort zone which we are transcending, which in this case is our insistence on remaining in the shadows of the pain we have experienced in the past. We are finally having conversations about how we can move toward a better future and reduce the damage we’ve inflicted on Earth. However, we still aren’t willing to face the truth — that this can’t be done without sacrificing the systems which caused us to get here in the first place. We can’t wish for a peaceful world while continuing to justify war. We can’t protect the environment when we’re unwilling to shed the capitalist agendas which have led to environmental damage. We can’t even come together to have these important discussions when our laws and systems perpetuate separation and exclude people and countries from the conversion. There is no compromise when it comes to the development of the New Earth. Everything signature to an unconscious and destructive society must be left behind so that we can better the world. This truth won’t go down well for those who want to better the world without having to sacrifice their attachment to money and materialism.
North Node In Taurus
The North Node in Taurus signifies a karmic increase and the new energy we are collectively growing into. Taurus is the second zodiac sign bearing fixed earth energy. It’s steady, grounded, structured, and reliable in nature. Taurus is also ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and attraction, which illuminates our movement toward taking better care of ourselves, and as an extension, the world around us. The North Node in Taurus will motivate us to focus on the fundamental structures of our society. We will reconsider how we use and share the Earth’s natural resources and how sharing or possessing money and materials impact us.
It’s important to note that Uranus — the planet of unpredictable change and shock — will also transit Taurus this year, triggering further climate changes and natural disasters which force us to have destined conversations about the future of our species. A prime example of this nodal shift at work is how countries such as the UK and USA affirmed they would reduce or cease to import Russian oil (North Node in Taurus) as a response to the Ukrainian war, thus causing an increase in fuel prices (South Node in Scorpio).
Our core values will be tested under this nodal transit, and we will learn how to take care of ourselves and others without overindulging or taking advantage of people and the planet. We will learn how to make grounded decisions focused on unity rather than creating further divide due to the hurt that we’re still harboring over the past. Overall, we will learn that these limiting perspectives concerning comfortability, safety, and accumulation are a product of our ego-based consciousness, and we don’t have to affirm our worth in superficial ways, which only contribute to the same global issues we are trying to target.
