AI GeneratedThis astrological analysis explores the shift of the nodal axis into Aquarius and Leo from July 2026 to March 2028. It details a collective transition from hierarchical, narcissistic leadership toward egalitarianism and technological innovation, while explaining how the Lunar Nodes guide individual soul evolution, karmic clearing, and the balance of life's various house axes.
Hi everyone, I just wanted to come on and do a short video today about the nodal axis moving
into Aquarius and Leo which it's doing the true node moves in on the 26th of July and will stay
in those opposing signs North Node in Aquarius, South Node in Leo until March 2028. I have an 18.6
month cycle and the last time the North Node was in Aquarius and the South Node in Leo was in
from December 2007 until August 2009. So if you can remember if you look back to those years
and remember what was happening in your life then that can be very helpful because there's
normally an echo of whatever you were doing last time around and the houses that they are falling
in will prompt your memory. For instance, for me, they are straddling the third house and the ninth
house. I have a North Node in Aquarius, a South Node in Leo. So back in 2008 to going into 2009,
I was actually studying for my master's qualification in astrology. I've mentioned
that in the last update, but this time around, of course, I'm studying shamanism now. So again,
it's a metaphysical study and there's a kind of spiralling upwards. So if you can remember,
that's helpful. And I'm just going to give some short explanations of these pairs of houses
because it's an axis. The nodal axis is an axis. It has two ends, the North Node end and the South
Node end. And therefore, that opposing pair of houses will be very activated for the next 18
months until March 2028 because that's where the eclipses broadly will fall as well.
Now, just a word really about the nodes in terms of your natal chart because
I believe that the nodes always have a sense of destiny about them. They are the most destined
part of our charts, I believe, and I think that's true collectively as well as individually.
I believe that they aim to lead our evolution because the North Node is about either your
individual or the collective soul's path of growth going forwards, and the South Node is
what you've already learnt. You don't have to leave it behind. You can integrate it
with who you are now. You don't have to abandon it. But the compass needle, if you like,
is your North Node, and I very much see it as a compass needle
individually in your birth chart. In fact, when I was writing, this was my second book,
as many of you know, How to Co-Create Using the Secret Language of the Universe, and this was all
about the nodes, and it's a workbook. And so you can take your own birth chart and work with this
as a workbook to better understand your nodal axis, start to incorporate some other parts of
the chart, and it helps greatly with your self-understanding because I believe that
the nodes are possibly the deepest aspect of you because they operate at the soul level,
not so much at the personality level, at the soul level. There is so much to know about the nodes,
and while I was writing that book, and actually you need minimal astrology to be able to work
with that book because it really takes you from zero all the way through. And when I was writing
the book, I kept having a vision of the birth chart going from being a circle to almost having
a compass needle. So it became almost a teardrop shape with the North Node being the compass
needle and the whole rest of the chart being the cavalry backing up the North Node because
that's where we have to head in our lifetime as individuals to achieve any kind of soul's growth,
soul satisfaction in this life, and the rest of the chart back it up. And it's fascinating once
you start to go through the layers of that, and I believe that's also true collectively as well,
but it's very clear to see when you're working with your own chart individually.
And when the outer planets, particularly planets Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, come to
aspect your nodal axis, particularly by conjunction, you will very likely have some
profound experiences. They could be quite paranormal, spiritual. They could be past
parallel life experiences that you have flashbacks or that people come into your life
from different lifetimes. It becomes quite mystical because I believe that the nodal axis
actually looks like an infinity symbol. It's weaving the eight, if you like, and it weaves
the eight, I believe, of your soul's path through many, many lifetimes. So I believe the North Node
and the South Node actually act like portals into other dimensions and other lifetimes.
And when you have strong aspects, as I've just described, to your nodal axis, either end,
you can kind of start to access some of those different experiences in different lifetimes
and different dimensions. It's like the veil is very thin around each end of the axis, and
the South Node, as I say individually, is what we've already learned, but that is more representative
of your past life or past lives or parallel lives, if you want to call them that,
and the North Node, as I say, is where we're headed. Now, I have three separate teaching videos
on the nodes. One is very simple. It's the video companion to the book to extend the knowledge of
the book, and I'll put the link for that below. The other two teaching videos are not beginner's
videos, so I don't want you to waste your money if you're a beginner, and they are an advanced
nodes webinar I did a few years ago, and also something which is more advanced called the
Alchemy of Relationship, which includes looking at the nodes between two people, because the nodes
are incredibly powerful in relationship astrology, incredibly powerful. Even when you don't seem to
get a match anywhere else, the Suns and Moons aren't matching up, the Mercuries, other things
just aren't making any sense in how strong that relationship chemistry appears to be,
but if you look at the nodes, that can explain a great deal because it's a past or parallel life
connection that runs really deep. They run like superglue, however different you appear in this
lifetime, and however different your interests are and you are as people, there's something very
mystical and almost inexplicable about how people who have nodal contacts
just have to be together for periods in their lives, whether it's a romantic relationship,
whether it's a friendship. Very often, you reconvene in this lifetime as part of a family
group. I could go on and on, actually, but anyway, we must focus just on where the nodes are moving
to collectively, but just so you know that, because I find them absolutely fascinating,
and I think I'm just really scratching the surface and need to dig much deeper.
Anyway, back to what it means for the collective. So, the transiting North node moving into Aquarius
on the 26th of July, and that means that the transiting South node is moving into Leo at that
time. It's an axis, okay? They move together, and the nodes aren't actually planets. They are
points in space that are created by the orbit of the Moon, but it's remarkable how powerful they
are, considering they are points in space, and in your birth chart, of course, they are
points in space from that moment of birth all those years ago, and yet they still resonate
incredibly, incredibly powerfully through your life. So, with the North node in Aquarius,
that is going to reinforce all of the themes I've talked about with Pluto in Aquarius across many
videos going all the way back to 2023, but just to reiterate those themes, I mean, on the less
positive side of the expression of Pluto in Aquarius, it's about technology. Pluto is about
control by technology. It's interesting that in November 2027, next year, Pluto is going to become
exactly conjunct the North node. Remember, the nodes move backwards, so they enter a sign at 29
degrees 59 minutes of the sign, and they progress all the way through to zero, and then enter the
next sign, which will be 2959 of Capricorn next March, well, March 2028. So, this is a lot about
technological innovation, worst-case control by technology. We can see very easily how
that's a potential theme. AI, AI data centers that are very big in the news right now,
invisible government, everything being digitized, digitized ID. Positively, this is really the
recognition that everything is frequency. Everything is energy. Think of the two jaggedy
lines, the glyph of Aquarius, and of course, everything always has been energy and frequency.
We just haven't been very aware of it. So, the very positive side of Aquarius is it's about
networks, it's about community, collaboration, finding your tribe of frequency, coming together
with like-minded people. Yes, it's a lot to do with innovation, wonderful innovations. These
could be healing innovations. It could be a lot to do with aviation, because Aquarius is ruled
by Uranus, and both the sign and the planet are about aviation, rapid developments in aviation.
So, I think we're going to see an enormous amount of that, maybe zero-gravity transport
in coming times. Nassim Harriman, I know, is working on that and sees that as a possibility
in the next few years. I think aviation is going to change out of all recognition in the coming
years. Remember, Pluto stays in Aquarius long-term. So, this is also very futuristic.
It's also about finding your unique expression, finding your individuality at a deeper level than
you have ever done before, but also understanding how that individual essence or gift fits in with
the whole to contribute. That's your gift to the whole, because the Aquarius energy is very much
about the group, the people, the network, the tribe. So, it's quite paradoxical that you feel
more individual than you've ever felt before, but equally you want to give back to the tribe. So,
it's very humanitarian. It's more egalitarian. That's certainly what Leo will come on to in
a moment. And it's very rebellious, revolutionary energy, because again, it's ruled by
Uranus, hugely about freedom, freedom of the people, the revolution of the people. We know
Pluto is going to be out of bounds to the south until 2035. Look at the fabulous research of
Rosie Finn that I've referred to so many times. Old relationships are going to fall away as new
frequency connections come online very strongly. But because whatever the sign that Pluto is moving
through, it tends to intensify and catalyze that sign, the symbolism of that sign, and we've now
got the North Node in Aquarius too. It's a real double whammy on that focus. So, technology and
AI are going to go like a storm. They're going to develop so fast, and we have to be very aware of
that and make the right choices. The ruler of Aquarius is Uranus in Gemini. Be very conscious
and wise and thinking strategically and long-term about the choices you make about things like AI.
And again, I've spoken about that in some detail. So, the South Node is in Leo. When we look at the
South Node, we tend to look at what, in part, we are leaving behind, but also integrating to create
better balance. Aquarius, remember, is much more equitable. It's a more horizontally-based society,
not a vertically-based society. And so, with the South Node in Leo, I think this we'll see
in the next 18 months or so a lot of the end of grandiosity and narcissism and privilege,
elitism, entitlement in leadership because Leo is very much about leadership. The gross inequality,
the almost obscene flaunting of wealth. Louis XVI's Golden Palace is what comes to mind.
And it's very much about the individual leader. It's about celebrity. It's about royalty. It's
about those that we have worshipped on a public stage. All of that kind of worship and idolatry,
if you like, is going to come into question because North Node in Aquarius emphasises,
strengthens this theme of the power moving to the people, the power moving to the people.
And so, this will birth a much more heart-centred leadership at its best.
Leo, the heart, that's one of the best expressions of this nodal axis. For sure,
it will evolve our sense of leadership because an awful lot of corruption is going to come to light
and that's going to wake people up to say, what are we doing? That we wouldn't tolerate
these standards in ourselves, let alone our extremely well-paid leaders. What are we doing?
So, I think there will be a very strong demand for greater accountability, transparency,
and greater equability in society. And that isn't just for the next 18 months. It's the whole period
while Pluto is in Aquarius as well. Now, it's very helpful to look at which pair of houses
this nodal axis is falling across because, obviously, it's got two ends.
And so, these are just very simple explanations for you, and you can, again, dig deeper into the
material I've just suggested if you'd like to. The north node end is obviously your growth end,
your compass needle, your focus, and the south node is what you've already learnt and is falling
away. So, which pair of houses? If it's first and seventh, this is very much about relationship,
particularly the seventh house. And the first house is about your own sense of identity and
confidence, the way you project yourself in the world. But that whole axis is really about
relationship. Second and eighth, second is very much to do with self-worth, but also money, your
income. And the eighth house is other people's money. If you're married or in a long-term
relationship, you might have joint finances. It's about shared values as well as joint money.
It's also a deep house of spirituality as well, spiritual learning, diving deep,
psychotherapy, that kind of thing. Third and ninth is very much about learning,
studying, writing, broadcasting, disseminating, teaching. Third house is very much about
your local day-to-day life. It's the Gemini house. So, it's your neighbours, your friends,
your siblings, your day-to-day coming and going. That's third house. Whereas ninth house is much
more metaphysical, reaching out to the cosmos and much more expansive. Fourth and tenth,
that's about your personal domestic life, the life of the home and the family and your loved ones
versus your career or your work in the world, which is being emphasised right now and which has
to take a step back, as it were, for a while. Fifth and eleventh, this is a very social axis.
The fifth house is your house related to children, creativity, games, speculation,
that kind of thing. The eleventh house is friendships, network groups, political affiliations,
social media, also a sense of your individual purpose in the world as well. Sixth and twelfth,
as you probably know, they are very related to health. Sixth house, obviously health.
Twelfth house tends to be more critical health sometimes. And they also highlight things like
sixth house being of practical service to people, twelfth house being of spiritual service to
Sixth house, pets, twelfth house, large animals, horses, elephants, that kind of thing.
And so, these are just very, very basic, simple expressions of those house areas,
but you can dig much deeper with the material. And just to say as well, if you are born with
the North Node in Aquarius, every 18.6 years, you are going to have what's called a nodal
return, where the transiting North Node comes back to your natal position. So, if you have the
North Node in Aquarius, over the next 18 months, you are going to experience this, depending on
the degree that that is at. And that is a really good time, again, lived at the soul level rather
than the personality level, but you feel as if you're on the right track, you're on a mission,
this feels like the right path to go on, you feel very satisfied at the soul level.
Yep, this is absolutely right for me. So, that comes around every 18.6 years.
The transiting North Node square, 90 degrees to your natal nodal axis, comes around more often
because, of course, there are two points at which they can do that, one side of the axis and the
other. And that really does act like a crossroads for you, in terms of which choice do I now make,
which direction do I go in? Do I stay with the current situation, which feels like I've
exhausted all the soul growth in it, or do I pivot to something new and unknown,
in order to gain more soul's growth and leave the old behind? So, it's very much a crossroads time.
The nodal reversal, which is where the transiting North Node comes to conjunct your
natal South Node, is like a closure of the deep past. Closure of the deep past, and I mean deep,
deep past, as in past parallel lives, things that might have been leaking through from other lives,
that might have interfered in some way with this current life, that are now coming up to be
cleared. I mean, when I was writing this book, How to Co-create Using the Secret Language of
the Universe, I was diving really deep into a very, very important life as a Cathar Perfecti
in France, particularly around the early 1200s. Very strong years, 1210, 1211, that's when I was
polished off in the early months of 1211. And that lifetime was leaking through into this one,
and creating all kinds of issues with the small French house I had at the time. So, it can really
be a very mystical time, a deep time, and you can feel as if you're kind of in Harry Potter land,
you're in a different dimension, but it enriches your life immensely, immensely.
So, beginning to understand the Nodes, and as I say, I think I'm just at the beginning,
I think it's one of the most fruitful journeys you can go on, because there's just so much
to discover about them, but they do have a sense of destiny. They do have a sense of fate,
and that's about the only area of the chart I would say that about, because I think we have
an enormous amount of free will, actually. The chart, as I've said many times, your birth chart
is just your sheet of music, and it's up to you how magnificently you play it in this lifetime.
So, I hope that's helped you. It's going to be so much more, of course,
as we move through the coming months, and we look at aspects to the nodal axis and planetary
transits to it, and it is a very rich pot of gold to look at. God bless. I hope that's helped you.
Be back very soon with something different again. Bye for now.
