TRANSITING NODES SQUARE NATAL NODES

Node Square Node

The aspect of Transiting Nodes square the Natal nodes in Astrology creates a Grand Square.  The energies of this formation are not pleasant and can create great strife because a Grand Square is actually four Square aspects all in force at the same time.  These aspects will last approximately four months.  It begins as the Transiting Nodes are approaching the Square at about 3-4° and lasts until they are approximately 2-3° past the exact point.

Squares indicate conflict, discord, and suggest that there are hurdles to overcome.  Time seems to move at a much slower pace because of these challenging aspects, and there is certainly a wish that the energies would subside. There are often delays in plans, obstructions and challenges that stand in the way of progress. Much will depend on the areas of life involved, dictated by the natal and transiting positions of the Nodes in the individual’s chart.

If there are other indicators in the chart suggesting something similar, then this can be one of the most challenging times that those involved will experience in life. The path ahead seems obstructed and often this is due to something from the past. The experiences of the past or involvement on some level of the past stands in the way of moving ahead. The North Node speaks of the path ahead while the South Node speaks of the past.

The Grand Square that is created which will be in either Cardinal, fixed or mutable will determine what kinds of energies are released and determine what action that can be taken.

Cardinal modality suggests that action and a push to alleviate these conditions are part of the process.  Fixed modality suggests that there needs to be compromise and a letting go of the fixated determination about what is taking place. The Mutable Square suggests that you might have to go along with the energies in place or on the other hand not to depend on outside influences to determine your course of action.

The Grand Square will present obstacles to overcome coming from many different directions all at once; and although this is most certainly a challenging position, the energies of the Square will push you to do what you can to find a resolution to the issues at hand. Square aspects are so irritating that they force us into action, and if we do not push forward with all our might, it is like dropping our gloves and giving up, which is certainly not advised.

The whole chart must be reviewed in order to determine how this might be affecting those involved and the natal aspects involving the Nodes will also play a big part in how these energies unfold.  Easy aspects involving the nodes suggest opportunities are at hand while challenging aspects suggest a rather difficult road ahead. These, however, are valuable life lessons and your course of action and what has taken hold over time will provide you with vital information that can be used to formulate a plan of action or be used at any time in the future when needed.

Life is not always an easy road but, in many ways, we need to open our hearts and minds to the lessons that are being taught particularly with the grand square created by transiting node square our natal node.  We gain strength and momentum in these times and learn what is needed to advance in life from a more informed and different perspective.

SOLAR ECLIPSE ARIES NEW MOON

Aries Solar Eclipse

Today, April 8, 2024, we will experience a Solar Eclipse at 3:19 p.m. EDT which will be in sign of Aries at 19°. 

Those with their luminaries (the Sun and Moon) either in Conjunction or in Opposition to this placement will be highly influenced by this alignment.  Those with other plants as well as angles influenced by this placement will also be affected.  The Conjunction and Opposition are the most powerful of aspects although the Square, Trine and Sextile will also have an influence with this Solar Eclipse.  Use no more than a 3° orb of influence when determining how this Eclipse will affect your chart.

A Solar Eclipse in Aries is all about the energies of Aries.  There will be an outpouring of energy and a need for action connected to your personal needs.  The drive will be to achieve, and you will need to move forward with confidence as this is a significant time for those being affected. 

It is a time of endings and new beginnings and if you move too quickly without due diligence, which can often be the case with an Aries influence, then you can expect to learn lessons from this but should be able to pick up the pieces if necessary and begin again if you fail with your efforts.  Do not fear failure, but make sure you make attempts to secure what is needed to meet your goals. You are being taught to overcome any fear that stands in the way.

There is the potential to generate a balance between what others may wish for and what is important to you. This is often a significant time in the lives of those who are being affected and it will be important to also look at the Natal Chart to see what else lines up at this timing.  Sometimes what has been in place, especially with the outer planets, now will manifest on some level. You have the chance to begin anew and at the same time learn valuable lessons from the steps you have already taken.

This is an important time in the lives of those that are affected by this Eclipse, and it has been said that some of the leaders that have this placement in their Natal Charts (or using mundane Astrology the alignment with the country and its leaders) will be scrutinized and dissected because of their actions. This is a testing time on a personal basis and a time of reconciliation because of actions previously taken.

For those under this influence, the Solar Eclipse Aries New Moon is the time to act and to pursue your visions with great vigor and make things happen.  Now is the time to generate what has been in place at least from a mental perspective and move forward with your objectives.  Do not jump but be certain to take action.

NEPTUNE SQUARE NATAL MIDHEAVEN

Neptune Square Mc

When Transiting Neptune squaring our Natal Midheaven, this will be a time when we are very unclear about life’s direction.  This can relate to our choice of career, as we may be questioning if the choices we have made continue to be appropriate.  This of course depends on our age. If we are younger and perhaps finishing off school or entering College or University, we might be questioning or unclear about whether we have chosen the correct career choice. 

We may feel dismayed and upset not knowing which way to turn. This can manifest as a feeling of being lost, at least for the time being.  The reason we say “for the time being’ is Transiting Neptune will eventually move out of orb and no longer present us with these energies.  During its contact, however, it can be quite stressful as we are worried about making the wrong decision, no matter what our age.

Since the MC or Midheaven is also about our goals and aspirations, these focuses might also be in reflux at this time. The goals we might have had before this time may now be questioned. Are my goals in line with what I now wish to accomplish?

Our status may also be in a state of flux. Perhaps we have just lost our job due to unforeseen circumstances. Perhaps we made a rash decision to quit and have now moved onto something different and we are wondering if we made a mistake. 

This position of Neptune to our MC cannot be considered pleasant. The square aspect is always difficult and presents obstacles to overcome. The pace of this focus seems to be slowed down or seems not to move in the direction that we might want it to. We may wish that we could do a rewind or at the very least have a second chance to make things right or better.

This is the beauty of Squares. They are put in place so we can learn valuable lessons and the square energies irritate us enough that we are put in a position where we must do something about the situation (They force action).  Perhaps we just need to accept what is taking place or perhaps we can make changes.  Either way, the energies are such that we feel the need and often have the ingrained attitude that something can and must be done.

We always have a choice, however, whether we decide to do something about what is transpiring or not.  If a change in attitude is the only option, then this is a choice as well.  Everything depends on your next move.
