Venus, in the last stretch of its retrograde, meets up with the North Node in Pisces today, a rendezvous that speaks to fated encounters, new love, or an opportunity to find compassion and forgiveness. With Saturn nearby, commitment is on the agenda.
It’s Aries Season and we’re fresh off an Aries New Moon, but there are three planets as well as the North Node in Pisces at the moment. Mercury has returned to finish its retrograde on April 7 at 26 Pisces followed by Venus turning direct on April 12 at 24 Pisces, both planets changing direction in a conjunction to the North Node.
What is the North Node? Part of the Lunar Nodes, astronomical points that let us know where and when the eclipses will happen, the North Node and the South Node are an axis, a path for the energy of time to follow. Wherever the Nodes are, events tend to happen. We meet someone new. We make a fateful decision. Life turns in a new direction. (The last time the North Node was in Pisces was from June 2006 to December 2007.)
Venus Retrograde, like all retrogrades, is a period where the energy of Venus is receptive instead of active, which means that we need to reflect, go back, and integrate our experiences. Since March 1, we’ve needed to reevaluate our relationships, the people and things we invest in, and to reprioritize what is important.
Conjunct the North Node, it’s a day to listen to our intuition about a situation or a person, to feel into our heart, to let go of something we may have been stubbornly attached to. As a result, a relationship may be at a turning point. Whatever happens may play out into the rest of April. Take note of Venus conjunct Saturn on April 7 and again on April 24. A vision becomes real. Or it’s a reality check for something that needs to find its footing.
