August brings individual horoscopes as well as things happening for the collective.
on july 31, uranus and the north node of destiny meet in the sky, and astrologers predict that we will feel the effects of this transit on earth.
In astrology, Uranus is the planet that represents rebellion, upheavals, breakups, and independence. Uranus is a generational planet, which means that it moves slowly through the signs and affects the collective more than the individual.
as a result, we look to uranus to see how the world will change and develop. when uranus first entered the fixed earth sign of taurus in may 2018, astrologers predicted a shift in terms of how people related to the earth and the environment, and money (lo and behold, the rise of cryptocurrencies). Uranus will remain in Taurus until April 27, 2026.
Although this planet tends to represent unpredictable and spontaneous growth, certain things can be counted on: When there is a great aspect with Uranus, as there is now, we astrologers know that something important is about to happen. this is what you should know.
what is the uranus-north node conjunction?
summer 2022, uranus connects with the north node of destiny in taurus. more than a planet, the nodes of destiny are mathematical points in the sky where the orbital path of the moon intersects with the ecliptic path of the sun through the constellations.
Within the natal chart, the north node represents where you are going: your purpose and the lessons you need to learn.
the destination nodes change sign every 18 months. the north node of destiny will be in taurus from january 18, 2022 to july 12, 2023 (making the south node in scorpio during this time, as they both run in polarities).
the north node is what we are bringing in during the 18-month transit, while the south node represents what we are releasing. this means we long to bring Taurus feelings like financial security and strong family foundations.
While this aspect is not necessarily unique, as Uranus connects with the North Node of Destiny every 15 years, their combined placement in the Earth Sign is rare. Both Uranus and the North Node of Destiny haven’t merged into the Taurus zodiac sign for quite some time; to be exact, it was in 180 AD. and the next time it will be 2357.
what does the conjunction uranus-north node offer?
We are entering a time of change. On a personal level, this is an opportunity to, well, wake up, especially if you’ve felt like you’ve been sleepwalking through life. During the time of transit, you may be anxious to leave situations that you know, with new insight, are not working for you.
Meanwhile, the action planet Mars is also in Taurus, adding heat and intensity to the transit. On a personal level, think of Mars as an extra push you need to make a change right now. On a collective level, Mars turbocharges energy and pushes us to action, which we will feel on August 1, when Mars comes into play with Uranus and the North Node of Destiny, urging us to make moves.
but there is a tension here. the nodes of destiny and uranus are in taurus, a sign that likes routine and stability. Changes that occur on both a collective and personal level can feel unwelcome even if they lead to positive changes.
this is how transit can affect your zodiac sign
