On July 26, 2026, the Lunar Nodes will change signs.
The nodes take 18.6 years to transit the whole zodiac and so they change signs around every eighteen months.
When discussing the nodes you always state the North Node first as in the nodes are ingressing into Aquarius and Leo.
Whereas typically when referencing signs, you always list the signs in order, so that would be Leo and Aquarius.
The true nodes move direct, station and retrograde slightly throughout each month, but in general the trend of their movement is retrograde through the zodiac signs.
The nodes were in Pisces and Virgo and now will be in Aquarius and Leo.
Listen to our latest podcast episode on the Lunar Nodes changing signs.
The North Node is also known as the dragon’s head or Caput Draconis.
Connections to new people are shown through your North Node.
Meetings, get-togethers and rendezvous are likely to happen.
The North Node is concerned with things that occur at a hub (computer routers, airports).
The North Node shows your current incarnation in this life.
It suggests your karmic objectives.
The North Node is related to consciousness.
The North Node indicates your destiny, future path and where you can grow and evolve.
The South Node is also known as the dragon’s tail or Cauda Draconis.
The South Node suggests connections with people from your past.
It indicates the things that you already know.
The South Node shows your past incarnations and therefore your past lives.
This point is related to unconsciousness and sub-consciousness.
The South Node clearly shows your past and your past lives.
It is a place where stagnation can take place.
The North Node will move into Aquarius.
The North Node in Aquarius fears, but should push towards, being humble.
Aquarius is an air sign concerned with groups, communities, innovation, technology and the future.
While Leo seeks personal recognition, Aquarius seeks collective progress.
During this nodal period, growth comes through participation with others, sharing ideas and contributing to something larger than yourself.
The North Node in Aquarius encourages people to step back from personal drama and consider how they can serve the wider community.
There is a call to become more objective and less attached to individual praise or approval.
New opportunities may arise through friendships, networks, clubs, associations and social causes.
Aquarius is associated with originality and independent thinking.
During this transit, there is encouragement to develop your unique perspective without needing constant validation from others.
New connections may be formed through technology, online communities, scientific interests or humanitarian activities.
The challenge of the North Node in Aquarius is that it can feel uncomfortable to move away from the spotlight and into a more equal role within a group.
There may be fears about fitting in, being accepted or contributing something worthwhile.
Growth occurs when you willingly share your talents for the benefit of the collective.
The North Node in Aquarius asks, “How can my individual gifts help create a better future for everyone?”
The South Node will move into Leo.
The South Node in Leo falls back on arrogance.
Leo is a fire sign associated with creativity, self-expression, leadership and personal recognition.
The South Node in Leo suggests familiar patterns related to seeking attention, approval or admiration from others.
These are qualities that may feel comfortable because they have already been developed.
During this nodal cycle, there can be a tendency to focus too heavily on personal importance or to believe that your way is the only way.
Pride, vanity or the desire to be special may become stumbling blocks if taken too far.
Situations may arise which reveal where ego has become attached to outcomes.
The South Node in Leo is not asking you to abandon creativity, leadership or self-expression.
Rather, it suggests that these talents have already been cultivated and can now be used in service of a wider purpose.
The challenge is to avoid becoming trapped in the need for recognition or applause.
At its best, I believe that the South Node in Leo provides confidence, courage, generosity and warmth.
These gifts can be shared with groups and communities through the balancing influence of the North Node in Aquarius.
The South Node in Leo asks, “Can I contribute my talents without needing to be the center of attention?”
In your astrology journal and referring to your chart, or the chart of a potential client, please do the following:
With your natal chart and the new ingress chart please do the following:
The shift of the Lunar Nodes into Aquarius and Leo marks a collective change in emphasis from personal recognition towards group participation.
The invitation for us all is to move beyond any individual ego concerns and discover how our unique talents can contribute to the greater good.
While the South Node in Leo indicates our creativity, confidence and personal strengths, the North Node in Aquarius encourages collaboration, friendship, innovation and shared vision.
Over the next eighteen months, growth is likely to come from balancing your individuality with your community and to learn how your own personal gifts can support the collective progress.

The Lunar Nodes are points in a chart and they are an interesting part to the whole story when you read a chart. When I first started doing astrology I was not thrilled with lunar nodes as a concept as I was more interested in solar astrology being a Leo. Over time I learned to understand the Moon’s nodes better. It just goes to show that not everything in astrology is interesting to everyone. You need to find your focus as well.
The Sun’s path is called the plane of the ecliptic. The Moon’s path is angled at close to five degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. The Moon crosses the plane of the ecliptic twice a month, once traveling north and once going south.
The Moon’s north node is found at the point where the Moon crosses the ecliptic moving north (NN). The Moon’s south node is located at the point where the Moon crosses the Sun’s path moving south (SN).
When the Sun is near the conjunction to the nodes there is the chance of a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse. This occurs roughly every six months as the Sun moves halfway around the zodiac and goes from one node to the other node.
In your chart, the Moon’s nodes are an axis with the north node at one end, and the south node at the other end. Some charts only show the north node and you can determine the South Node’s position as it is always directly opposite the north node.
The mean node is the average placement of the Moon’s nodes. The Moon’s mean nodes are always retrograde as they precess through the signs in longitude. The Moon’s true nodes can be direct, stationary or retrograde.
The Moon’s nodes precess (or move backward) at a rate of approximately 18.6 years through the whole zodiac. At age 19, 38, 56, and 75 when the nodes return to their birth position, you will experience a nodal return.
The lunar nodes spend around eighteen months in each sign.
All the planets (except the Sun) have north and south nodes. For example, Pluto’s nodes are at +/- 20 degrees Cancer and Capricorn. The planetary nodes are not exactly opposite each other in the chart.
The north node is also known as the dragon’s head or Caput Draconis. Connections to new people are shown through your north node. Meetings, get-togethers, and rendezvous are likely to happen. The north node is concerned with things that occur at a hub (computer routers, airports).
The north node shows your current incarnation in this life. It suggests your karmic objectives. The north node is related to consciousness. The north node indicates your future path and where you can grow and evolve.
The south node is also known as the dragon’s tail or Cauda Draconis. The south node suggests connections with people from your past. It indicates the things that you already know. The south node shows your past incarnations – past lives.
This point is related to unconsciousness and sub-consciousness. The south node clearly shows your past and your past lives. It is a place where stagnation can take place.
The north and south nodes are usually interpreted as an axis.
In your natal chart, the nodal positions are referred to as personal eclipse points as they show where the eclipses would have been that year.
The zodiac degree of the north and south nodes is known as your nodal degree, and any planet on that degree is vital in the nodal interpretation.
If a planet aspects one node it usually also aspects the other node, except for some of the trine/sextile combination as the sextile aspect orb is only 4°and the trine is 8° degrees.
Any planet conjunct a node will influence the nodal axis in a meaningful way. This planet suggests that you are being pulled forward in life (north node conjunction) or by being held back by your past (south node conjunction).
Planets square will aspect both the north and the south nodes in a square and will in a way stop either future or past dominating the life. This person may not move forward without significant challenges.
