We have the north node entering Leo on May 9 2017 which is changing out of the north node in Virgo.  The nodes change roughly every 1.5 years.  The north node represents where we are striving to achieve more balance in our life..... so for example the last 1.5 years we have collectively been working to get more balance with our health, daily routine, exercise, and being more of service rather than sitting back on the south node of Pisces (opposite Virgo) which has been about letting go of chaos, illusion, playing the martyr, escapism.  Every time the nodes change we are always learning to move away from the south node (which is where we have habits and where we feel safe) and learning to move out of our comfort zone into the north node area.  You know this is happening when you are stepping away from what you already know and are learning more about yourself (and this is where the magic happens!!).  Collectively this transit for the next 1.5 years will be encouraging us to step up and own our truth which means following our passion and hearts as opposed to following the crowd and people pleasing.  We will be encouraged to march to the beat of our own drum so things like starting your own business will be common themes or even finding out what your passion in life is.  We need to make a conscious effort to relate to others in a more personal loving manner as opposed to intellect which detaches us from our feelings.  As the south node is moving into Aquarius you will know when you have fallen back into these habits as you will be trying to people please which means you lose touch with your own heart and feelings which results is losing your identity.   Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence and independence, will help you to achieve an inner balance and happiness.
