The True North Node of the Moon, a Fated highest collective directive, our “True North” leaves the fiery, dramatic, leadership sign of Leo and enters the emotional, nurturing, watery, feminine sign of Cancer, the Mother, November 6th for the next 18 months until June 4, 2020. The Nodes always move Retrograde, backward in the Zodiac as do the Procession of the Equinoxes. The shifts repeat every 18.6 years.

We will want Cancerian motherly support and feelings, a mother-centric not patriarchal corporate everything for profit values.
Some astrologers use the ‘Mean Nodes” this doesn’t mean these Nodes are bitchy or nasty. In that case, the Mean Nodes change on November 15th. There are 9 days of a discrepancy.
The North Node is a symbol of emotional growth and of evolving Dharma. The South Node symbolizes unresolved karma, our past lives, or actions that we individually and collectively accrue through our DNA. Karma is merely cause and effect. The symbol of Karma is JUSTICE in the Tarot, the scales of which lawyers still use today. The Universe seeks balance.
When we are living from our South Node we are largely unconscious of our actions, past lives and deeds and blindly tend to repeat the same negative behaviors over and over again recreating the same old, same old effects leaving us wondering why this is happening to us. Has someone cursed me? Is it just our own dumb bad luck?
When we become aware and conscious and investigate our behaviors by asking ourselves how we really feel, and why is this same thing {effect} happening to us over and over, we begin to take responsibility for ourselves and stop blaming outside influences. This karma then becomes our dharma, our living from a freely created destiny-the unfamiliar new territory of the North Node.
For the last 18 months, we’ve been seeing the South Node effects of Aquarius, a detached collective sign of rebellious individuals seeking freedom from those in power, the Leo North Node-the sign of Kings, leaders, the superwealthy.
What will the immediate effects of leaving the Aquarius South Node behind look like? People will want emotional contact and will not be content with virtual, detached Aquarius hi-tech social media we’ve been living through.
The South Node in Capricorn helps all of us remember a long montage of all the long cold hard winters our ancestors spent just trying to survive, or the difficulties thousands of soldiers faced in the endless trenches and wars for the machine of Government or duty; or the endless hours of work billions of people have endured as slaves. The South Node in Capricorn brings strength, practicality, and endurance. It symbolizes work, hierarchies, careers, corporate structure, history, time, traditions, and the lure of the physical world which we need to reaccess now.
And most importantly Capricorn symbolizes the Patriarchy, the forefathers. The PATRIARCHY and all of its religious dogma of control by the fathers must be reassessed now. We are leaving behind Capricorn old Patriarchal Corporate power and world domination themes. We will be letting go of being ruled by the tyranny of linear time, the focus on the material world, capitalist accrual, leaving behind the iron rule of the Patriarchal God- the punishing, controlling, jealous, angry, manipulative Father figure, separated from the Matrix and the earth whose sole purpose has been to dominate Her and all women.
We must evolve towards the loving nurturing of the Cancerian Great Mother now. We are all tired lonely and worn out from so much hard work and being enslaved to the Patriarchy- women and men too.

If you were born with your North Node in Cancer this will be a much more powerful personal experience for you.
If you were born with North Node in Capricorn this transit allows you to change direction.

Let the Children Play
We all need to allow our inner children out to nurture and to play and to simply be and not do. We must simply allow absolute unconditional love for who we are and to be nurtured by the Living Goddess which is the Milky Way Galaxy we are always in her. We must bring children back to a state of innocence and trust. Too much child-trafficking and mind control has been allowed.
We need to fill ourselves up with and become the Mothers of Compassion, like Kwan Yin, Green or White Tara or Mother Mary to Christians, the Shekinah to the Jews, to all the children of the earth- that is our prime survival directive now.
Cancer is associated with food, and with water. Issues around having enough food and pure Non-GMO foods will become primal. Preserving and having good clean nonlead, non-fluoridated, uncontaminated clean water will also be absolutely essential. The Oceans will also take a central role for the world’s attention as the oceans will soon have 1 ton of plastic to every 3 tons of fish in them. Our oceans are dying and their importance on the climate in the world is huge.
Restoration of the Innocence of the child
Cancer is all about family. A return to old-fashioned home-cooked meals and the traditional Sunday night dinners as our parents and grandparents used to have will be revived but also with friends.
Many women will choose to leave corporate careers to establish more feminine valued centered ways to work. Job sharing, community daycare, food dispersion, workstations, and nursing each other’s babies. Having children will become very popular as life will be valued in itself. women rush to get pregnant and have larger families. Water births and old-fashioned home births with midwives will be hip. Nursing babies in public will be the norm. As will all functions of women’s bodies- menstrual health, sexuality and aging. The Crone is also a Cancerian aspect of the Mother, the wise elder or Grandmother.
We will choose to feel our feeling with the North Node in Cancer. We will cry whenever we feel like it, whether it’s our party or not.
Our homes, our roots, and ancestors become very important. We will want to know where we come from and what our foremothers felt and did. Many millions of women’s lives have been overlooked overshadowed and ignored by history. Their lives will not be in vain and this will be restored.
We will recognize the wisdom of the child who naturally dances, makes art, sings, and plays. We will enjoy living in the Moment, of being continuously awed by the universe and its miraculous nature. We will be innocent and naive and believe in fairies, unicorns, magic and unseen friends. We are open to feeling all that is around us in every dimension. We learn to trust our intuition and our feelings fully. We will learn to live and love as fountains of wisdom.
