Nodal Returns & Welcome to Taurus Season

I’m back! After the frenetic energy of Aries season and the eclipses, I am finally coming up for air. For those of you that don’t know, on a whim my husband and I looked at a house on our anniversary in March and four weeks later, we moved into it! Phew, it’s been non-stop and crazy, but we are so happy to be in our new home.
Ironically, it seems I make big changes every 18 years or so which I now know coincide with my nodal return.
What’s a nodal return? The nodes are two points on the moon’s orbit that are related to eclipses. The North node represents your soul’s purpose and although it may not come naturally to you, you are learning to embody this energy during this lifetime. It’s not a one and done thing though, as we are constantly realigning ourselves to our purpose. The South Node represents the gifts, strengths and talents you come into this world with and also the blind spots and ruts that can hold you back from your purpose. When the nodes return every 18 years or so to the signs they were in when you were born, that is your nodal return.
The nodes are back into the ones they were in when I was born, Aries and Libra, and this past eclipse season, which carried transformational energies within themselves and occurred in Libra and Aries, certainly had me releasing and transforming a number of aspects of my life. And it’s all good. It is so fascinating to me how the cosmos reflects what happens in our lives.
And now, Aries season comes to an end and Taurus season begins at 10A ET on April 19th when the sun reaches zero degrees of Taurus, the archetype of the Goddess. Coming off of all the intensity of Aries season with its eclipse and Warrior energy, it’s time to welcome in a more relaxed vibe with Taurus season! It’s a season focused on growth, beauty, giving, and receiving love and abundance in all of its forms. It also invites you to slow down and chill from all of that action-oriented Aries Warrior energy. I would love to hear how you experienced this past season, so email me and let me know. I'd love to hear from you!
