We move with more energy and confidence to take action in the Aries energy of our natal chart as the North Node shifts us into new territory. Between July 18, 2023 to Jan 11, 2025, the Nodal Axis in Aries and Libra will have us focused on relationships with ourselves, others and the world around us. We are called on to take the initiative, be brave and bold, and truly find our identity, shedding ego attachments without isolating from parts of ourselves or our alignment to source.
We gain more clarity and oomph by referencing the Libra parts of our chart, clearing out and shedding relationships in the house the South Node transits. By rebalancing, assessing its current value and making peace with what is necessary, we’ll be able to move swiftly, with more clarity, momentum and motivation in the North Node Aries part of our chart.
In the next 2.5 years, we are encouraged to be bold and brave, to cut off what impedes our speed and individual identity.
In the opposite house, with Libra at the cusp, we make amends, peace by judging its value, what’s causing an imbalance in our relationships to certain areas of life.
What You’ve Gained From the Taurus and Scorpio Axis.
Have you gained your Phoenix wings?
The South Node is currently in the 1°Scorpio, in its final phase before it moves into Libra. In the last 2.5 years, the Scorpio SN, transiting a certain part of your chart where you were meant to shed layers of dead skin, now moves into new functions of life, new places to dig into. Your wings give you a bird’s eye view into the new cycle. Libra is the relationship sign, what you find beautiful, classy and refined. It’s also the sign that seeks justice and fairness to find harmony and beauty, themes that will be in focus in the Libra part of your chart.
You’ve shed much of what you’ve accumulated for the last 18.5 years in your Scorpio house. Now with a wider view, you can move with more finesse for the North Node shift in Aries. Gaining your transformative feathers will help you fly in confidence, bravery and regenerative force in your Aries-bound house(s)—a co-Martian sign with Scorpio.

The Hard Falls
The Square to Pluto in Capricorn July 23’23 is to have you understand your power, to teach you how to rise even higher. The move into Aries quickly brings challenges when the Nodes square Pluto in Capricorn. Breathe. You may become faint at what you discover. It’ll likely take you on a deep trail in areas of yourself, life, and others you didn’t know you’d be walking into. You might want to scream and run in reaction.
Know that the fear is nothing compared to the feeling of standing your ground, shooing it away or making friends with this part of you and feeling the empowerment you’ll be equipped with for the rest of your days. Whatever is being released helps you ascend and evolve to greater heights. Once the load is lighter, it should fuel your Aries house(s) in fierce regenerative power.
The Challenges and Their Significance
The world is rapidly in an upward ascension. Pluto retrograde in Capricorn is finishing off and splitting open, reconstructing and even destroying the old, outdated traditional systems. How it all relates to you depends on your chart. But once Pluto ingresses(returns) back to Aquarius, the sign known for evolutionary progress, tech, and communication, the landscape of human interaction will change significantly. The challenges to the Nodes will have you checking on the Aries part of your chart on a root and hidden level.
The fulfillment of the North Node in Aries is about individuality, desire and drive–parts of you that you’re encouraged to refine at its highest expression to land on your feet, sustain solid ground as Pluto’s tectonic shifts happen in the next 20 years in Aquarius. Wherever this happens, clear out and chop off (Aries), and evaluate its value, if it speaks to your truth and if it is worth fighting for to rebalance relationships(to self, others and your world). The process, as mentioned, will not be fun, but at the end of the cycle, you will find more grace, ease and harmony in the second round of similar conversations with Pluto, this time in Aquarius.
North Node/South Node 18-month Major Aspect
Towards the end of the Aries and Libra Nodes cycle, the parts of your chart influenced will make a positive aspect to Pluto in Aquarius. You should see how you’ve grown and evolved since its first meet-up with the intense planet. You will have more clarity and see the river of your actions sparkling in empowerment.
At this point, what you’ve learned about yourself, your relationships, all you’ve shed, and all you’ve gained can be attributed to the changes Pluto implements in Aquarius in your chart. Look at it as having fresh energy getting into a new relationship. You’re going in with a cleaner slate, with a new spirit, acting in awareness.
It’s an evolution that sets a clear path in the new world on which we are newly embarking. Once the Nodal Axis moves out of the axis representing relationships, you will be equipped to understand your value and individuality to the interactions and bonds around you in the changing landscape.
The World as we Know it is on Massive Paradigm Shift
The Consequences of Neptune In Aries (2025-2039)
When Neptune enters Aries in 2025—around the same time the North Node leaves Aries and goes into Pisces, it will be an entirely different energy. Neptune dissolves whatever it touches. Aries’ motto is “I am.” One works to individuate, while the other works to connect and integrate. It will be a diffusion of who you are, all the illusions and grandeur of your ego-centric self. The North Node in Aries is a way to define and clarify who you are on a deeper level, in higher expressions.
Why it matters?
Neptune’s subtly potent tides will not wash you adrift. The North Node square and eventual sextile to Pluto are the starting point to develop self-clarity on where you stand in the overhaul. Neptune will be helping Pluto in Aquarius connect new dots to our society—on a spiritual and earth-bound plain, in new ways of relating that no living human has seen before.
The NN in Aries and SN Libra cycle will help you understand, give you a sense of how you can connect your individuality, your force into the collective, into the new arching beliefs being stitched. It is from a deep place you stay loyal to self, a place you birthed your authenticity, a place where your choices don’t blow in the wind. Within these parameters, you can express your creativity, spiritual nature, acts of charity or where you will blaze your torch to contribute to the changing paradigm and the upward ascension of the collective.
Saturn(Aquarius Ruler) In Aries – May 2025 – April 2028 (It goes back to Pisces for a few months in between)
How Saturn in Aries Will be Involved
Saturn is about constriction, discipline and having patience for the future. Aries energy being Mars ruled, is passionate, works to gratify the moment and acts without thinking. The period can feel constricting at first when not looking at the energy through a wider, connected lens and from a reciprocal standpoint. You might feel a pinch from your individuated expression. The path is challenging but constructive.
The planets Saturn and Mars are generally congenial. Mars is a soldier when given direction, drive, and focus. Saturn is the sergeant who gives orders to achieve the overall goal. It will be about using your individuality constructively to express it in the long run. It’s about slowing down and strategizing.
The NN cycle in Aries and SN in Libra will make the process easier with all the work done prior, which will be the foundation to build something worthwhile in the areas of your Aries and Libra chart. This includes your relationship houses (1st, 7th, where Venus is and Mars sits).
It is connected to the Neptune and Pluto transiting the last two signs, influencing it and expressing its themes for over two decades, again changing the fabric of society like never seen before. Both planets are spiritually focused on connecting the collective into cohesion—for better or worse. Saturn in Aries will encourage you to look at the big picture to understand and outline your unique energy and how you can survive and reinforce your place in the major collective shift.
Uranus(Aquarius Modern Ruler) in Gemini July 2025 – May 2033
Crucial Preparation
Uranus in Gemini will also be a key player in changing how we personally and collectively see our world. Accelerating human interaction, communication and general ways of thinking, before it acts as a destructive Tower Card, it will eventually square the Pisces part of your chart with the Nodes and Saturn. Encouraging you into responsibility on both planes of existence—spiritually and on the earth plane. While applied to personal aspects of life, collectively, we’ll see the overarching changes in tech and how we navigate socially.
With new social interfaces and AI likely dominant in our daily living, to be securely fastened on our way up or land on our feet during the shake-ups—until we find more concrete established settings, it is the Aries North Node square to Pluto in Capricorn, then a sextile to Aquarius that will help equip you to cushion the blows and soften the landings.
The Takeaway: The Nodes in Aries and Libra axis is crucial to our future. What we work on, what we individuate, how we nourish ourselves, and the relationships we keep, let go and build on will define our future into a storehouse of regenerative strength, individuated expression and purpose within the arching changes.
