In astrology, we have the Lunar Nodes, which are the points in the Moon's orbit where the Moon crosses the ecliptic. There are two Lunar Nodes, and they exactly oppose one another. There is the North Node, which represents your potential and purpose, and is what you should grow into, and the South Node, which is your baggage and what you already know. Since the South Node is the past and what's familiar to you, we tend to fall back to the South Node in times of stress and upset and use it as an emotional crutch. This means we have to work on becoming more consciously aware of that, otherwise it gets in our way and becomes a self-sabotaging position. In transit, the transit (moving) South Node can dredge up baggage (from early life or past lives), karmic energy, and show how you're getting in your own way. You can be prone to falling back on those bad habits that need to be broken. If you can do that, you can emerge stronger, more powerful, and more confident. Since the South Node exactly opposes the North Node, the South Node tours one natal house and the North Node tours the exact opposite house. You can often find that working with the North Node position helps alleviate some of the South Node challenges and you can learn more. Note that there are two positions for the Lunar Nodes, the Mean Nodes and the True Nodes. The Mean Nodes are the averaged out position, while the T\rue Nodes are the exact position. They're usually not far from each other though, no more than a few degrees. Surviving Transit South Node in the HousesTransit South Node in the 1st House
The first house rules the self, so transit South Node in your 1st house can emphasize your personal baggage, issues with your identity, and ways in which you stand in your own way. You may fall back on relying on yourself too much, and refuse to ask for help because of past issues or fear.

Leo is an attention-seeking sign, partly because of how dramatic it is, but also to feed its ego. Leo has a strong ego (thanks to the Sun), and desires praise and acceptance, otherwise it can wither and wilt.

Leo in Astrology: Self-absorbed
When not expressed well, Leo can be a self-absorbed sign. Remember that Leo has a big ego and requires a lot of attention, and sometimes this means Leo is selfish, even narcissistic. Leo has to learn how to feed its ego without becoming too caught up in ego needs, and without ignoring everyone else. Since Leo does have a big heart, this can be accomplished, but requires work.

Cancer in Astrology: EmotionCancer is the sign of emotion in astrology. Cancer is a sensitive water sign and ruled by the watery Moon, so Cancer can feel everything.

Cancer in Astrology: Home, Family, RootsCancer rules the home and family in astrology, and is our roots in life. This ties to our early lives, our childhoods, and upbringings. When we want to get back to our roots or back to basics, this is Cancer. Cancer craves a solid home base, and a healthy definition of family.

Cupido in Pisces can be extra romantic when it comes to our crushes. We may daydream and fantasize way more about those we are infatuated with, and we can imagine dreamy scenarios in our minds. We may keep quiet about this though, and won't let on about what we're dreaming about. We can be extra dreamy with our crushes, yet extra quiet about them.
With Pisces ruling imagination and being creative, this can also be a fantastic period for focusing on creative projects and pursuits that we're obsessed with. We can really throw ourselves into them and enjoy it. While in Pisces, asteroid Cupido will conjunct (align with) transit Saturn on March 18th (at 12 degrees) and transit Neptune on April 15th (at 28 degrees). Saturn restricts, so we may fantasize about our crushes much less, and may want to commit to a crush in some way instead. Someone or something we're infatuated with may come crashing back down to earth, and the fantasy is over. The conjunction to Neptune amplifies the Pisces impact since Neptune is the natural ruler of Pisces. This gives a boost just before Cupido exits Pisces.

Asteroid Abundantia in Capricorn 2024 Dates:
Asteroid Abundantia in Capricorn 2024 General Impact:
Asteroid Abundantia in Capricorn brings greater discipline and focus with abundance, and makes us more disciplined and focused in general. Sagittarius was fun and fancy free, but Capricorn is drilled down to the point, and armed with a plan. Capricorn doesn't want to dawdle, and neither will we as we're focused on what we want to get done.
With Capricorn ruling our goals and ambitions in life, we can give extra attention and push to accomplish our goals while we can. This is super important because Pluto is ending its time in Capricorn, coming back to Capricorn for one last hurrah September 1st to November 19th. So, we're truly going to feel suuuper pushed to accomplish something, and we have a goal and we're sticking to it, seeing it through to the end before moving on to something else. We have the discipline we need to do this, and we can come up with the plans we need to accomplish this, but we may also feel overwhelmed by it sometimes. We might be asking too much from ourselves, and need to pull back a little bit. This can especially be the case while Abundantia is retrograde (appearing to move backward) in Capricorn May 11th to August 16th 2024. If we feel like we're being crushed under the weight of our goals and ambitions, we likely need to re-evaluate. One odd thing is that the retrograde syncs up with Ceres retrograde in Capricorn as well (May 15th to August 26th). Abundantia likely expands on the Ceres retrograde, so we're really focused on our resources, responsibilities, and aspirations and how we may be overdoing it, taking the wrong approach, or need a break. We may take a hard look at what we're doing and why we're trying to get to this specific end. With Capricorn ruling governments and corporations, I anticipate we'll see some major developments with one or more world governments and corporations (downfall?). Abundantia and Ceres won't actually conjunct (align) until December 5th though, so they're not conjunct at any point during their retrogrades, just kind of moving along near each other. They're moving along near each other almost all of 2024, so resources, finances, and support is hugely important this year. Interestingly, when Abundantia and Ceres do conjunct, it'll be at the anaretic degree. There are 30 degrees in every Zodiac sign, and 29 degrees is the very last degree and called the anaretic degree. This is supercharged energy, often crisis energy with the transit bodies. So, we're likely to see something really important occur with resources, finances, or support around that time. Personally, you can crave more support for your goals and ambitions, and can make one last big push for what you want to achieve. This is likely involving the areas of life ruled by the house in your natal chart 29 degrees Capricorn falls. That impact lasts though since, as mentioned, Pluto comes back to Capricorn one last time September 1st to November 19th, and is at 29 degrees Capricorn the whole time. Abundantia doesn't conjunct Pluto though, yet it can still amplify the energy anyway, and whatever Pluto at 29 degrees Capricorn is triggering likely ties into whatever Abundantia conjunct Ceres at 29 degrees Capricorn brings. Venus actually adds in to all of this as Venus, Ceres, and Abundantia all move from Capricorn to Aquarius on December 7th, and are conjunct each other. Venus in the mix means our connection, relationships, alliances, commitments, and partnerships are much more important, elevated in some way, and we have to work together, come together, and be in harmony. Since this is at the anaretic degree, there is urgency to this. It's extremely important that we go about this in the right way and for the right reasons with Capricorn. Out of Abundantia retrograde, we have the chance to get back on track with anything that might've been thrown off, and to make sure we're on the right path, have the right movations, and use the right approach. This is extra important with anaretic Pluto shortly after the retrograde ends, and leads into the Abundantia, Ceres, Venus stellium. Supercharged energy indeed, but there is potential for greatness, and it's possible that whatever passes has a lasting impact and sets us up for the future. Keep that in mind!

A new moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic.
What is a Lunar Eclipse?
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy. A Lunar Eclipse occurs when Full Moons are within 18 1/2 degrees of the Lunar Nodes (the points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic).
New Moon in Pisces: March 10th 2024 (5AM ET/2AM PT)
The Pisces New Moon can be a great time for creativity since Pisces rules imagination and fantasy, and we can get lost in daydreams. This can be channeled into creative projects and ventures, and we can get inspired more easily.
Pisces is a compassionate sign, so empathy and understanding can also be strong with the New Moon. We may want to be of help in new ways, and focus on trying to help those who can't help themselves. Pisces is the sign of spirituality, so this can be a time to start new spiritual ventures. We can make more time to connect with our intuition and subconscious mind, and we can feel more in tune with the subtle energies all around us. Pisces rules what's hidden, so we may become aware of something that has been hidden, some sort of secret, and can work well alone. While we may want to be of help, we can also find we do our best on our own, in the background, and behind the scenes. Pisces is the last Zodiac sign, so we may also take some time to clear things out and make room for anything new to come. We can also reflect more on the past, but in a less emotional way, and get more understanding. The New Moon is sextile (beneficial aspect, two signs away) transit (moving) Uranus in Taurus, and this helps us with making changes, and we can take a different approach than usual. We can embrace the unconventional, be inventive, and can be true to our unique selves. We can be independent and open. The new moon occurs at 20 degrees 17 minutes Pisces. The aspects to the new moon are: Conjunction: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Pisces Sextile: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Taurus or Capricorn Square: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Gemini or Sagittarius Trine: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Cancer or Scorpio Opposition: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Virgo Lunar Eclipse in Libra: March 25th 2024 (3:01AM ET/12:01AM PT)
Our first eclipse for 2024 comes in March, and it's a Lunar Eclipse in Libra. Libra is the sign of relationships, so the Libra Lunar Eclipse puts our connections under the microscope. We can focus on figuring out which relationships are going well, and which aren't.
The ones that are going well, we can become more committed to. We can enjoy getting more time with these people, and want to feel even closer. That can mean that some take the next step in the relationship or partnership, whatever that may be. The ones that aren't going well, we have to decide if we can salvage this or not. If we can, we can put in the work and focus on trying to be more understanding. We can see both sides more clearly, and that helps. If we can't salvage it, we may walk away, or try to get more distance so it's not weighing on us so much anymore. We can be much more compromising in an attempt to keep the peace since chaos and fighting can throw us off in a big way with this eclipse. We much prefer keeping everything calm, serene, and harmonious. We can be diplomatic and tactful as a result. The Lunar Eclipse is trine (beneficial aspect, four signs away) transit Pluto in Aquarius, and this helps with passion and intensity in our dealings with others. We can feel much more connected, and strengthen emotional bonds as we're more comfortable with intimacy. We can also transform our relationships, or transform ourselves via our connections. One little note: This is the only Lunar Eclipse in Libra for this Aries-Libra eclipse set, so the impact might be strong right around when this eclipse occurs, and whatever passes may go through quickly instead of lingering for months/years. The Lunar Eclipse occurs at 5 degrees 7 minutes Libra. Aspects to the Lunar Eclipse are: Conjunction: 0 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Libra Semisextile: 3 degrees 7 minutes - 7 degrees 7 minutes Virgo or Scorpio Sextile: 0 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Leo or Sagittarius Square: 0 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Cancer or Capricorn Trine: 0 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Gemini or Aquarius Quincunx: 3 degrees 7 minutes - 7 degrees 7 minutes Taurus or Pisces Opposition: 3 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Aries Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations by house and aspect |
