Introducing: The Lunar Nodes in Pisces & Virgo (2025-2026)

5 things you need to know about this cosmic shift, plus what to expect based on your sign.

On Saturday, January 11 at 6:02PM ET, the Lunar Nodes—a.k.a. the celestial portals that expose life lessons and cosmic potential—move into the signs of Pisces and Virgo. Through July 26, 2026, these celestial horseshoes will implore us—as individuals and as a collective—to confront what it means to purge, purify, and heal. We haven’t witnessed the Nodes in this domain since 2017, so this shift is major.

Astronomically, the Lunar Nodes are defined as the two points where the Moon’s orbital plane crosses the Ecliptic (i.e. the Earth’s orbital plane around the Sun). They always travel as a pair, exactly 180° apart, and occupy opposite zodiac signs. From an astrological perspective, the South Node represents where we’re coming from, while the North Node represents where we’re going. Together, they tell the story of our spiritual mission and untapped potential.
