Venus square the Lunar Nodes
On December 11, Venus squares the North Node of the Moon, now in Pisces, and the South Node of the Moon, now in Virgo. The transiting Lunar North Node shows our collective evolutionary direction while the South Node illustrates the tendencies and qualities we tend to unconsciously gravitate toward and get stuck in. Balancing the expression of both Nodes is essential for their integration.
When planets square the Lunar Nodes, they offer us an opportunity to become aware of places where we are developmentally frozen or stuck in the past in some way. Planets squaring the Nodes highlight developmental wounds and offer opportunities for awareness and resolution. When Venus squares the Nodes, the focus is on developmental trauma that has impacted our attachment patterns and the way we relate to other people, ourselves, but also wealth, pleasure, self-love, and self-worth. These days, we will have chances to become aware of unconscious habits and unresolved karmic wounds and reassess our values, priorities, and relational patterns.
