There is a lot going on this week and the energy is still overall a little crazy as we are in the mid-point of the two Eclipses – the one that happened on October 25th and the next happening on November 8th. The focus this week seems to be on letting go and releasing as the South Node is very much activated. Let’s get into it.
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022 – Venus moves to be conjunct the South Node today. Venus is all about our values, where we find beauty, what our tastes, pleasures and desires are, our artistic inclinations, what makes us happy. It shows us where and how we spend our money. It shows us how we relate in love, and in fact is the Goddess of Love. It rules Taurus and Libra. The transiting South Node represents where we have been, what we have been focused on, where things maybe need to have a shake-up because we have gotten complacent and too comfortable. It is where change may need to take place, and we may need to surrender, release, give away, let go of. For reference, likewise, the opposite is the North Node, and this is where we see increase, striving, new goals, new opportunities, new areas to focus. So, when Venus conjoins the South Node this may be a time where we are finally ready to release and let go of a relationship; maybe all of a sudden something that relates to our desires and where we found beauty changes; maybe something in our value system related to money changes; maybe simply the way we look at relationships and relating changes. Venus is the planet of love and money and South Node is about release, so the few days before and after this there could be an epiphany as to something related to love or money that we need to let go of. With the South Node there is often a fear of letting this go and releasing, because anytime we let go of something, that thing is dying, right? We want to hold on tightly because the unknown is scary.
For a more personalized approach, see what houses your natal Taurus and Libra fall in and this could indicate areas of life where there may be the letting go. For example, my Taurus is in my 4th house and my Libra is in my 9th house. Therefore, there could be something I need to release, surrender or let go of in regards to my home environment, how I feel emotional safety, ancestral patterns I may be carrying. It could be physically letting go of things or emotionally. Or with regards to my 9th house, maybe I need to re-evaluate how I feel about long distance travel or higher education or spiritual pursuits. Or maybe I am re-assessing the big picture of life itself and where I find value in it. Have I been living according to my values, and my belief systems? Or have I been afraid to.
Saturday, November 5th, 2022 – Sun conjunct the South Node. Venus Oppose Uranus. The sun is our ego, our conscious mind, our creative life force. It is what we are striving to be and the energy and vitality we have to achieve that. With the Sun conjunct the South Node today we may be feel physically drained. Our energy may feel scattered, and we may be unsure of ourselves. As the South Node is stirring up things that may be repressed in our ego, our conscious mind and our life force energy, maybe we are beginning to realize where we spend our energy that maybe we shouldn’t be and may not be healthy for us. Maybe we are ready to let go of a certain part of ourselves that is pretending to be something we are not. As there are higher and lower vibrational frequencies of each planet, maybe we are realizing that what we have always thought we were striving for and wanting was not really our highest and most potent version of ourselves. Maybe we are ready to release those lower vibrational qualities of our Ego and let go of our desires and just live in the now.
For more personal aspects, which house is your Sun in in your natal chart. This may indicate an area that you are releasing something in regards to what you are striving toward or what you have energy for. For example, my Sun is in my 10th house of career, how I want to be seen by the world, etc. Maybe there will be some clarity surrounding this day on what I am ready to release, career wise, forever and where I might want to focus and how I want to show up next. Maybe I will be able to release some fear surrounding career.
Venus opposite Uranus. Uranus is the planet of sudden shifts, the awakener, the lightning bolt, the disruptor, etc. This transit could bring in something very unexpected in regards to money and love. Again, look to your natal chart to get a better idea for you personally. For me, again, it could be something related to my 4th house of the home, ancestors, emotional security/stability, etc. or my 9th house of education, travel, spirituality, how I see the world, etc. It also could be where the transiting Uranus is sitting in your chart, which for me, is again in the 4th house. The unexpectedness can be good or bad, it just depends on perspective.
Sunday, November 6th – Mercury conjunct South Node. Venus square Saturn. Mercury represents our communication, intellect, memory, transportation. It also rules thought processes, how we analyze, sort, group and make sense of things; how we handle nervous energy; how do we convey our thoughts; how do we approach others to learn and exchange ideas. So, with Mercury conjunct the South Node, maybe we are being asked to look at how we communicate with others and ask ourselves if it has been working or if it is time to try something new. Maybe it is time to look at our daily routines or our overall schedule and how we are spending our time and see if there is something that needs to be released or changed up there. Does it align with our new values that we may have developed after releasing old ones with the Venus-South Node conjunction?
To look at your personal natal chart to get a better idea of what you may be asked to release, look to see where Gemini and Virgo are in your chart. For me, Gemini is in my 5th house which is related to creative expression, passion, romance, children, etc. So it could be that something comes up in regard to one of these areas in regards to communication or analyzing and letting go of patterns. Virgo is in my 8th house, so it also could be in relation to joint finances, taxes, transformation & dark night of the soul. Maybe the way I’ve been communicating about or relating to these topics needs to be re-vamped and something in regards to this leaves.
Venus square Saturn. Saturn is the planet of restriction and boundaries and commitments and timing. It can also be the planet of building blocks – is this thing on solid ground? With the square aspect it means that timing is off, you aren’t getting what you want. This transit could have you feeling lonely and depressed, acutely aware of your financial situation. It could have you really looking at all those love and money issues, where you find value in relationships and in your physical world, and questioning, or perhaps bringing more insight to, what you were being asked to release just a few days ago. You may want to release the things you’ve identified, but Saturn is saying “not yet.” There’s a road block here to the things we want, need, or desire.
To get a better idea of what that roadblock might be related to, we look to the Venus ruled houses as well as the Saturn ruled house. Saturn is sitting in my first house, which is the house of identity. So maybe my roadblock is Saturn asking me if I’m giving any parts of myself away for these Venus things I have determined that I want, and/or, since it is following the conjunction with the South Node and Uranus, the things that I determine I no longer resonate with? Am I honoring myself? Does it feel good? Am I selling myself short? If what was released, or if the sudden change with Uranus, was determined by me to be “bad,” is it really or is it just my perception of it? If it was good, again, is it really? Either way, the timing isn’t right here and for me it is related to my identity and my I AM. This is a pause to make sure what I’m releasing, bringing in, or changing up is in true alignment.
Offerings – If you would like help interpreting where these transits are hitting in your natal chart, please send me a message. I would be more than happy to help you pull up your natal chart (which you can do for free online and I can show you how) and then help you interpret where more specifically this is working with you for $11. I have space for 10 of these over the next week.
Also, if you would like me to pull a tarot spread of the following questions: 1) What is Venus wanting/needing to release? 2) What is the Sun wanting me to release? 3) What is Mercury asking me to release? 4) What shock and awe is Uranus bringing me? 5) How can I use Saturn’s pause to my advantage? I have space for 3 of these for $55 over the next week.
