Towards the North Node in Cancer
Uranus 29 Aries opposite Venus 29 Libra, Nodes 28 Cancer/Capricorn
If the Grand Cross in Fixed Signs did not do it, this one in Cardinal Signs will.
Venus, the lady of Love, Money and Beauty has now found her
way forward since November 15, in her own home of Libra where she’s ready to
make changes and start a new 8-year journey.
But today she’s face-to-face with the Lord of the Heavens,
who gives her a new, and much unexpected insight about her identity in matters
of love, money, value and beauty. She now will suddenly see a different perspective,
a new situation, a new decision to make, a new freedom to walk in an unconventional
journey. While retrograde, she’s had time and space to reflect in deep (in Scorpio)
introspection and found a way to rebalance (in Libra) her issues.
Across from
Uranus in Taurus now, she remembers the past 8 years when, while she was making
her tour around the Sun, Uranus was traveling Aries, the part of the sky
inhospitable to her. She now remembers his eager look for freedom to be
authentic, different from the norm, and her desire to find an interesting new way
of being. In fact, she can’t forget the few times she had bumped into him, when
she got electrified and triggered to give in to his maverick ways, and she was
left with her hair undone. Yes, in those occasions, her values were tweaked, her
likes and dislikes twisted and turned, because Uranus strikes with electrical
might and can change Venus’s sweets into psychedelically wiggly neon gum worms.
Uranus, the bohemian scientist is, at the same time, the electrical shock of
spiritual insights that can fracture Venus kindness in the blink of an eye.
Today Uranus and Venus have an issue to rebalance. It has to
do with who we think we are, what we love, who we love, what we value, and the
value of our finances.
Uranus transiting Aries is closing a 7-year chapter of
identity fracture, transformation and remake in the area of our personal chart
where it falls. He’s giving us the final exam about it. What have we learned? How
have we changed? what is our new style, our new look? How have we integrated
this new identity into our environment? Do we still fit in the same tribe?
Venus, across the Zodiac is now ready for a new Love and
Value journey. She has reflected and reviewed, reconsidered, redefined and has made
up her mind about what she wants and doesn’t want. In Libra, not only is she cozy
and comfy, but she has made the decision, has changed and closed the previous
chapter.

Today, as if he hasn’t triggered enough upheaval, Uranus the
Lord of the Heavens, shakes Venus yet into another change! As usual for him, it’s
about freedom from the norm, about independence and sudden irreversible change.
He strikes our values, our relationships, our financial resources once more
with his lightening rod. What he has in store for Venus is unpredictable, but
certainly something we haven’t seen before. Would it be a new way of making
love or have relationships with greater allowance? Would it be free resources
for all? The only thing we can say is that our Values will certainly change
dramatically if not shockingly.
Uranus opposing Venus are triggering and supporting another
major shift we’ve had in November when the Lunar Nodal Axis has progressed into
Cancer/Capricorn. This new axis has changed the game in important ways that
helps us build upon what we started 18.5 years ago, last time the Lunar Nodes
were in these signs. Now that the collective consciousness has found balance
between social groups (Aquarius) and self (Leo), between the masses and the
leadership, we are challenged to rebalance the masculine (yang) or Capricorn
and the feminine (yin) or Cancer energies of our life. Capricorn represents our going
out into the world to achieve goals, seeking some kind of place in it. Cancer represents our
inner world, our emotional body needing safety and comfort. We now experience a tension between the power
of the social and institutional structures (Capricorn) and the basic social
unit of home and family (Cancer), with an emphasis on nurturing and caring for
the people close to us.
Remember that the Nodal Axis defines a subtle energy considered to be imposed onto us from the Moon cycles and eclipses that brings a general emotional undercurrent making us crave certain things, and letting go of others. With the North Node in Cancer we crave home made life, food, comfort, feelings, care, safety, grounding and coziness.
In fact, the clash between Uranus and Venus, is the final
push we needed to realize the importance of family life and emotional security,
and to be able to take the necessary actions, especially if we had neglected or sacrificed
this aspect of our life in order to achieve a certain social status. We have
now a clear insight into how much we have neglected those issues in the hands
of the outside world, and that we should focus on rebuilding there if
we hope for our own safety and survival. We’ve come to a point where we have
realized that Government Institutions don’t really care nor work for our families, that we will need to do it ourselves if we want to have a fulfilling life.
For each Rising Sign, this Venus opposition to Uranus, marks a different kind of challenge depending on where it falls in the Natal Chart. I next generally describe the 6 axes of houses and the North Node focus. House placements vary for particular Zodiac signs depending on the time and place of birth. The reader will have to look on his or her own chart what exact houses Venus, Uranus and the Nodes are transiting.
