The North Node Moves to Gemini
/
You know how everyone is tired of the line "in these times of uncertainty"? Well, when the North Node moves from Cancer to Gemini and the South Node moves from Capricorn to Sagittarius on May 5, flexibility, curiosity, and letting go of the fear of uncertainty is where we're going to find the important lessons and blessings for the next 18 months.
Interestingly enough, the day the nodes switch is on May 5 (5-5) and 5 is known in divination as the number of change. Coincidence? Maybe.
Eclipses (which are some of the biggest harbingers of change) occur when the New Moon or Full Moon falls near one of the nodes. Over the next 18 months those eclipses will be on the Gemini-Sagittarius axis - the axis of learning and knowledge.
In order to move forward over the next 18 months a lot of the work will involve challenging old beliefs and philosophies, what we know, and scaling back or scaling down (Sagittarius). It'll also involve embracing duality (Gemini) - holding space for what's practical, factual, and intentional but also holding equal space for hope, inspiration, and dreams. Though if we want to see these dreams through, it's gonna take focus, adaptability, admitting we don't have all the answers, being open to learning, being open to working and sharing with others.
Communication is going to be a bigger deal when the North Node enters Gemini. Too many of us focus on being right and someone else being wrong, on dominating conversations without really listening to others. Some of us don't speak up enough. Some of us lack communication skills altogether (don’t send me anymore WYD? texts, please!). Expect to work on these areas.
Also, we'll need to be mindful of what we're giving our attention to on a regular basis. This nodal transit will definitely highlight how thoughts can become things. Of course, there will be things we need to hone and zero in on. There will be other things we'll need to quickly process and release. And then there will be things that we should pay no mind to at all.
