I wrote these insights in January 2025 to help gain a sense of where to focus my time and energy for growth and wellbeing. As the year progressed, I see the dots connecting so clearly, especially in the area of my health and emotions (“as above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul."). I’ve been feeling a call to share these insights, in case this connects the dots for you in your own life…so here they are.
Lunar north node in Pisces, south node in Virgo image by Claire Seller.
On 11th January 2025 (111 energy), the collective Lunar Nodes changed signs. The North Node moved into Pisces and the South Node moved into Virgo where they remain until July 2026.
Unlike the north and south node placements in our personal natal charts that progress significantly slower, and for most of us remain in the same zodiac signs our entire lifetime, the collective lunar nodes change signs every 18 months approx.
The changing of signs translates to a shift in the energy for the collective karmic path of humanity. An opportunity to make better choices, ones that align with betterment for all.
The north node points to where we are heading, where there is room for improvement, growth, and expansion. The south node indicates what we are moving away from, traits we need to leave behind that are hindering our growth.
When balanced, the two energies on this axis have the ability to support each other beautifully with a strong foundation on which to grow, expand, and prosper.
We are now 10 months into this astrological transit. There is still time to assess where we currently are, where we desire to be, and feel into the potential of how to work with this energy to make things happen to close that gap in the next 8 months towards progress.
THIS LUNAR NODE AXIS…
Is guiding us to take the highest expressions of Virgo (6th house) to create solid foundations on which to embrace and develop the Pisces (12th house) qualities to live by.
So, let’s dive into the zodiac SIGNS, their ATTRIBUTES, the ENERGY of this astrological transit to understand what this means for us physically and spiritually, consciously and subconsciously, personally and collectively, and energetically!
First, let’s take a look at the area in life we are being called to explore, acquire and strengthen skills in, and expand into. The lunar north node in Pisces.
PISCES Attributes
Pisces is a water sign, relating to emotions, receptivity, feelings, the lesson of peace.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiacal wheel responsible for bringing MAJOR CYCLES in life, nature, and astrology to a close.
The planetary ruler of Pisces is Neptune (spiritual vision, illusion, creative imagination, psychic ability, beyond materialism, enlightenment).
Pisces is the ruler of the 12th house ~ the area of our life connected to spirituality, the relationship between you and God/Source/the Divine/the universe, having a very well-developed spiritual life, meditation, withdrawal, the world of subconscious, unconscious, and unseen (what is below surface level), dreams, looking inwards, and is the house of service to others, past lives, and house of karma.
Pisces is associated with the LYMPHATIC SYSTEM, IMMUNE SYSTEM, and FEET. All are connected to all other parts of the body. Unresolved emotions within Pisces may present as swollen feet, health issues in the lymphatic system and our ability to release toxicity from the body (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually), or deficiencies with the immune system. The moon governs fluids, both the inner rivers flowing within us and externally in nature. Working with the moon cycle, and the sacral chakra in particular offers extra support to Pisces imbalances.
Pisces is focused on spiritual service ~ “We Care”.
The chart below compares the highest and lowest expressions of Pisces and Virgo to give you a sense of the feelings that indicate when our energy is balanced, or imbalanced as reference.
If you find yourself stuck in the lowest expression feelings for any length of time, this might be a sign to work on inner healing to release old patterns, trauma, imbalances, unhelpful cycles that exist on personal, ancestral, and/or collective levels (consciously or subconsciously).

Now, let’s take a look at the energy of the lunar south node in Virgo, the foundations to support our journey of spiritual awakening and deep introspection.
VIRGO Attributes
Virgo is an earth sign, relating to practicality, self-discipline, sensations, the lesson of service, and self-improvement.
The planetary ruler of Virgo is Mercury ~ Communication (including the ability to listen), expression, the mind and intellect.
Virgo is the ruler of the 6th house ~ Daily routine, habits, day job, self-discipline, service, health and wellbeing, healers, and animals (small pets)
Virgo is associated with our digestive system, intestines, and spleen. Any unprocessed anxiety for Virgo may show up in symptoms in these areas of the body. Working with the sacral and solar plexus chakras will help restore balance in these areas of the body. If we look at the parts of the body associated with both Virgo and Pisces they all work very closely to support the health of the other sign, there is a special relationship synergy between them.
Virgo is focused on practical service ~ “ I Work”.

WHAT DO PISCES AND VIRGO HAVE IN COMMON?
Both signs are feminine (yin) energy, introverted, and mutable signs of the zodiac meaning these signs END EVERY SEASON.
For both Pisces and Virgo, their ROLE and WISDOM is in knowing how to prepare for the changing of the seasons, to bring things to conclusion (the closing of a chapter), they are comfortable with CHANGE, and know how to be ADAPTABLE, and FLEXIBLE.
This indicates a BIG need for stillness, quiet time, alone time, to get comfortable sitting in your own presence, getting to know your energy, your emotions, who you are spiritually.
This nodal axis requires us to bring closure and completion to all in the past that does not serve us. When we move onto new projects, for example, before completing the ones we were already working on, our energy becomes scattered between the old and the new, we are not fully present. We are not able to give the new project the time, energy, focus, love that it fully deserves to get it up and running successfully. The new project is infused with scattered energy, it will reflect in the quality of work and creativity, and others will sense it too.
WAYS TO WORK WITH THIS ENERGY
Just like the seasons and cycles in nature, each one preparing for the arrival of the next, the astrology of the cosmos does the same. Each cycle supports in building the foundations for the next phase of evolution of the soul. This current cycle is preparing us for the next one.
Pisces is guiding us to get comfortable with spending time in deep introspection (feminine, yin energy). To get in touch with our emotions and intuition, to trust and follow them, to remember who we are, our Divine inner connection, and the interconnectedness of all things. A call to remember our spiritual roots, a time of greater spiritual awakening.
Pisces understands the art of surrender, allowance, receiving, being, to spend more time in your own presence, finding comfort primarily from within, not externally, and seeking guidance and solutions from within.
When we practice this we naturally see the bigger picture, beyond what we can see with our physical senses, we tap into what is unseen too. It is a call to return to following the natural sacred flow and rhythm of life, like our ancestors once did. And to return to love.
Working with the new and full moons during this lunar node cycle are the incremental steps leading the way, showing us what is ready to be released at each full moon and what to focus on with every new moon to take us through the bigger collective cycle. All energies are working together, interconnected, always guiding us, no matter what level of consciousness we are each at.
CREATING STABILITY ~ what helps us to feel safe
This may feel very ungrounding for many, but ultimately this cycle is guiding us to find safety, comfort, love, and build stability in both our physicality and spirituality. To acknowledge, embrace, and embody both.
Virgo shows us what we need to be doing on a daily basis to build the solid foundations in our physical lives to support spiritual growth, expansion, and embodiment.
Repetition, and what we do on a daily basis confers safety and calms our nervous system and creates stability. This is what Virgo energy does best.
Virgo knows that safety is created with consistency, committing to daily healthful habits, daily rituals, simplicity, stress management gained through fitness and healthy eating, setting small goals, and taking incremental steps of action daily.
This is how we keep ourselves grounded, present, aware, and support the nervous system.
The more you practice, the easier it becomes and the stronger your habits become.
Focusing on daily practices, habits, and rituals that honor, acknowledge, and reconnect us to our spiritual roots is how we balance Virgo and Pisces energy by bringing spiritual wisdom down into our everyday lives. Through this we achieve both physical and spiritual wellbeing.
The more we can strengthen our ability to tune in to our intuition, our inner guidance, the more we will trust and follow it.
We are needing to create the foundations of safety from the inside out.
What are we needing to let go of and leave behind?
Fear - this blocks our ability to tune in to our inner knowing, our higher wisdom
Worrying thoughts, mental anguish
Perfectionism - can leave us in indecision
Over-analyzing
The illusion of limitation
Depleting our energy with overly busy work and personal schedules
Distractions - anything that takes us away from being fully present with ourselves
Inflexibility
Suppressed and heavy emotions
Toxicity that gets in the way of balanced physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health
The shadow traits (lowest expressions) of both Pisces and Virgo.
Daily healing habits to consider during this cycle:
Inner reflection - devote time daily to meditation, prayer, stillness, alone time, spiritual connection to help access information, guidance and re-energize
Spiritual practices - commit to daily practices that acknowledge and honour your divine inner connection, and for renewal of energy from within
Get in touch with your emotions and intuition - Learn to intuit and understand your energy and chakra system
Energy work to release suppressed and/or trapped emotions to support emotional balance on personal, ancestral, and collective levels.
Avoid distractions - remain devoted and committed to your path, to rest and recharge your energy, and learn to identify with your own energy field first
Movement - yoga, tai chi, qigong, resistance training, building muscle, stretching, walks in nature, breath work, get energy flowing.
Clean eating - eating a diet of whole foods as close to their natural state (unprocessed), and avoid foods with additives, or preservatives. Food is medicine.
Hydration - adequate hydration with pure water (water free of chemicals), ideally hydration with electrolytes to ensure hydration on cellular levels.
Taking better care of ourselves - Reduce the toxicity you ingest in your life, whether that is what you put in you, on you, or allow within your surroundings and environment. Decluttering, purifying, detoxifying on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels to support increased flow and balance of life force energy within.
Spend time in creative pursuits - yin energy is connected with the sacral chakra, our energy center for creativity, emotion, connection, sensuality, pleasure. Follow what makes you feel good.
Journaling - spend time reflecting on your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual states of wellbeing. Be open, be curious to what rises up. Ask for solutions and then listen intently to receive them.
WHAT IS THE NEXT CYCLE THIS IS PREPARING US FOR?
In July 2026, the Lunar north node moves into Aquarius and the lunar south node moves into Leo until March 2028.
This will be a cycle calling us to show up in the outer world (extroverted energy), to come together in community and collaboration. A cycle guiding us to work together towards equality, humanitarian causes, showing up in our full authenticity, knowing who we are, confident in our gifts and abilities, knowing what we stand for. This will help us each gain a firm sense of where we belong in the world, and how we can make a positive contribution within group efforts to create positive change in the world.
It will be a period of time that promotes independence but also interdependence, and following our hearts desires.
The current cycle of introspection and inner healing work is setting the foundations for this next cycle, the next level of expansion and betterment to come!
The more tuned in we each are to our own energy, our emotions, our intuition, our unique gifts and talents, our creativity, trusting and following where our heart guides us, the more powerfully we can come together with like-minded souls in community and collaborations to create a better world for humanity.
