Karmic Nodes are the points in the sky where the Moon and the Sun cross paths. In tropical astrology, the nodes are divided into two - the North Node (also known as the True Node) and the South Node.
The North Node transit shows the energy that will be present for us and the direction or lessons that we collectively need to learn during a specific period of time. The South Node shows the unconscious patterns and the themes that we collectively abuse and need to learn to balance.
On July 17th, the North Node is moving into the sign of Aries, which highlights the themes of independence, unapologetically following your path and instincts. Aries is the first zodiac sign and is all about “I”. It is a fiery energy that is meant to initiate, spark, create and forge a new way. The shadow side of Aries is being too impulsive, acting first before thinking.
At the opposite axis will be the South Node in Libra, highlighting the themes of beauty, law, fairness, equality, diplomacy. In contrast to Aries, Libra is all about “we” - relationships and togetherness. The shadow side of Libra is indecisiveness, codependence, people pleasing, prioritizing the needs of others before our own.
The Karmic Nodes will stay in these signs through January 2025. During the next 18 months, we collectively will have an opportunity to see where and how we tend to lose ourselves, how we adapt and push our needs, dreams and desires away for someone else (South Node in Libra). There will be a lot of opportunities to release the fears around trusting your own gut, following your dreams, passions and your path that fuels the fire in your heart (Aries North Node). This chapter will be a reminder that you and your goals are worth your time, energy and focus.

You also want to look at the houses ruled by Aries and Libra in your natal chart to see which areas of your life will be impacted by this transit.
All dates are based on the PST time zone. Dates represent the peak of the energy. Some of us might feel the transits 5-7 days beforehand (a month for eclipses)
