April 2025 Astrology: Navigating the North Node in Pisces After the Solar Eclipse in Aries
Navigating the Cosmic Shift: The North Node's Transition into Pisces
Hey cosmic travelers, let’s talk about one of the biggest astrological shifts shaping our collective journey this year—the North Node’s move into Pisces!
If you crashed out during the final Aries eclipse on March 29, 2025, you’re not alone. If you’ve been feeling more dreamy, emotional, or creatively inspired lately, you’re not imagining it. The universe just handed us a permission slip to lean into our spiritual side, and honestly, it’s kind of a big deal.
What Even Is the North Node?
Before we dive into what this means for us, let’s clear up what the North Node actually is. In astrology, the North Node (along with its counterpart, the South Node) isn’t a planet but a mathematical point in the sky where the Moon’s orbit crosses the Sun’s path. Translation? It’s like a cosmic compass pointing us toward where we need to grow, both individually and collectively.
The North Node represents the lessons we’re here to learn, the qualities we need to embrace, and the direction our souls—and the world—are evolving toward. Meanwhile, the South Node shows what we’re releasing—those old habits and outdated ways of thinking that no longer serve us. Every 18 months or so, the Nodes shift, and with them, our collective focus changes.
So when I talk about the Nodes, I’m talking about the transiting Nodes—not the ones in your birth chart.
What is Transiting Astrology?
Transiting astrology refers to the current positions of the planets as they move through the sky. It’s a snapshot of the moment we’re experiencing in real time.
This is different from your birth chart.
Your birth chart is a fixed map of the sky at the exact moment you were born. It reveals your core personality, strengths, challenges, and life path.
In short: Your birth chart tells you who you are, while transiting astrology shows how the changing planetary energies affect you at different points in time. Think of transits as the cosmic weather forecast that interacts with your personal chart.
From Aries-Libra to Pisces-Virgo: What’s Changing?
Up until now, we’ve been riding the Aries-Libra wave, where the North Node in Aries pushed us to step into our power, claim our independence, and embrace our inner warrior. Aries is ruled by Mars, and Libra is ruled by Venus. Aries and Mars represent individuality, action, and assertion, while Libra and Venus govern relationships, harmony, and balance.
Depending on where this series of eclipses landed in your chart, you may have experienced major life changes, shifts in your relationship with personal power, or transformations in your partnerships.
Or, if you’re like me, you torched your entire life. Anyway…
As of January 11, 2025, the North Node has officially moved into Pisces, bringing a whole new vibe that’s way less “go, go, go” and way more “let’s flow, booboo.”
This means our collective lessons are shifting toward themes of spirituality, creativity, compassion, service, and surrender. Instead of striving to become someone, we’re being invited to remember that we already are someone—just as we are. Deep, right?
But First, One Last Eclipse in Aries…
Before we could fully embrace the North Node in Pisces, the universe gave us one final cosmic push with the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29, 2025, at 2:21 PM EDT (at 19°24’ Aries). This eclipse was like a fiery grand finale, urging us to take bold action, break free from what’s been holding us back, and step fully into our authenticity.
If you felt a big surge of energy, a life-changing realization, or a sudden urge to shake things up around the end of March, that was the eclipse working its magic. Maybe you quit your job, ended a toxic relationship, or simply had a good cry. This was the final chapter of our Aries lesson in self-leadership before the universe gently nudged us into Piscean waters, where intuition and high spirituality rule the game.
Who will this Nodal Axis Impact Most?
While everyone will feel the effects of the North Node in Pisces, certain zodiac signs will experience it more intensely:
Pisces & Virgo (Direct Impact): If you have significant placements in Pisces or Virgo (Sun, Moon, Rising, or key planets), expect major personal transformations. Pisces will feel called to step into their higher purpose, while Virgo will need to release control and embrace the unknown.
Gemini & Sagittarius (Tension & Growth): These mutable signs will experience challenges and breakthroughs, especially in areas related to belief systems, career shifts, and personal identity.
Aries & Libra (Eclipse Aftershocks): After nearly two years of the Nodes in your signs, you're still integrating big life changes. The shift to Pisces-Virgo may bring emotional release and a sense of closure.
Scorpio & Cancer (Supportive Flow): Water signs will likely feel more aligned with this transit, experiencing spiritual awakenings, creative inspiration, and deeper emotional connections.
So, What Does the North Node in Pisces Mean for Us?
Now that we’re officially in North Node in Pisces territory (until July 26, 2026), we’re all being encouraged to embrace:
Spiritual Awakening: A collective shift toward intuition, empathy, and deepening our connection to the unseen. Meditation, dreamwork, and trusting our gut? Big yes.
Creative Expression: The floodgates of imagination are opening! Whether through music, poetry, film, or painting, this is the time to channel emotions into art and share it with the world.
Compassionate Service: It’s time to care—deeply. Acts of kindness, humanitarian efforts, and standing up for those in need will be major themes of this transit. In the absolute political hellscape we are currently experiencing not just in the US, but world-wide, this will be especially important.
Releasing Perfectionism (Thanks, South Node in Virgo!): We’re learning to let go of the need to have all the answers. Overthinking? Obsessing over details? Controlling everything and everyone? Vice-gripping life? The South Node in Virgo is collectively releasing all of that and is teaching us to chill and trust the process
Escaping vs. Finding Truth: Pisces energy can sometimes make us want to check out (hello, Netflix binges and endless scrolling). The challenge? To use our imagination for healing, making art, and inspiration, not avoidance.
Eclipses Will Keep the Energy Shifting
Throughout this cycle, eclipses will continue shaking things up, highlighting areas of our lives where we need to embrace these lessons. Think of them as cosmic wake-up calls designed to push us closer to our highest potential.
Final Thoughts: Trust the Mess
The North Node in Pisces is an invitation to trust, surrender, and embrace the magic of life. Instead of trying to control every detail, we’re learning to ride the cosmic wave, let go of outdated systems, and embrace more intuitive, heart-centered ways of living.
So, light a candle, put on your favorite playlist, and take lots of baths. The universe has a plan—even if we can’t see it just yet.
Here’s hoping this will be a time of collective healing and creative expression.
The last Aries Eclipse showed us who the fuck we are.
Stop trying to micromanage your fate, and just put one foot in front of the other.
What’s for you will never miss you, and if you’re coming up against one two many obstacles maybe consider shifting direction.
