The Nodes move to the Aquarius Leo axis on July 26, 2026 until March 26, 2028. During that period there are five eclipses within those Signs, and still one more in each Virgo and Pisces. However, this Nodal axis will also host one eclipse in Capricorn and one in Cancer.
Let's explore the energies.
North Node in Aquarius

The new orientation will direct the collective and individual lives to the community and humanitarian concerns. People will now focus on participating in networks of like minds or like activism in order to work on common goals and innovative ways of achieving them. The keyword for this North Node is cooperation, instead of the competition that inspires Leo.
During this period, individual interests and self centered aspirations are left behind for the benefit of the collective. North Node in Aquarius always finds a good cause to pursue to make society a better place to live for everybody. For this reason, this is the intelligent North Node Sign of new ideas, which usually breaks obsolete structures, thinking ahead to bring up ingenious and often unprecedented solutions to old problems. However, it's done with great humility, never asking or expecting to receive rewards, not even individual recognition to become a leader, center stage performer, or be in the spotlight.
The North Node returns to the same Sign every 18.6 years. Here are the historical events related to the North Node in Aquarius:
2008-2009 Subprime Crisis - Recession, banks & corporations bailout by taxpayers
1987-1989 Black Monday global stock market crash on October 19, 1987
1969-1970 Recession, inflation, unemployment, Nixon
1950-1952 Korean War inflation period
1931-1933 Great Depression
According to the Theory of Economic Cycles of Louise McWhirter, the economy falls to its lowest level when the North Node transits Aquarius. This is what this astrologer has confirmed in the historical research above. That makes even more sense if we consider that Saturn (traditional ruler of Aquarius) is transiting the Sign of his 'fall' in Aries. This astrologer predicts that the economic downturn will continue and possibly deepen once Saturn travels through Taurus and forms a square with Pluto. At that time, world conflicts and great turmoil associated with such square may cause food shortages and problems with distribution of resources and energy. Please read my previous article on Saturn Pluto square to understand what is coming down the road.
During the period when the Nodal Axis is in Aquarius Leo, there will be nine eclipses, but not all of them happen in those Signs. Only the following ones will be in Aquarius. It is important to take note of their dates to keep record of the events associated with them. You could also check if any of them falls within 3º orb of your natal or progressed planets or main angles, which would mean that you would be affected by their energy.

South Node in Leo
Ketu or the Lunar South Node acts as a drain of celebrity Leo energy. There will be an unavoidable disintegration of the personality cult and glory 'holders' and seekers will fall from grace. The invigoration of the social sense of community will overshadow ego-centered leadership. Individuals looking for power and prominence just to satisfy their own interest will be done with, because people are not willing to seek them nor sustain them. This is due to the fact that the common folk has completely lost confidence in that kind of leadership. OOB Pluto contributes to the empowerment of the lower classes that now oppose the corrupt leadership elites. To better understand the works of Pluto in Aquarius, I refer you to my previous blog about Pluto in Aquarius.
Those who constantly look for and need personal recognition are now left behind; there are no more sycophants available to sustain their vanity. Drama and self serving performance will be despised. People are now discovering that they need to unite and collaborate together if they are going to come out of the pit where the Plutos in Leo have submerged them. In fact, coinciding with the Leo South Node transit, many of these are now octogenarians and leaving this world as well.
To interpret the North Node in Aquarius, follow the transit of Saturn in Aries, and Uranus in Gemini. Aspects to Pluto are important as well during this period, especially when an eclipse joins Pluto (Jan. 26, 2028). Uranus, modern ruler of Aquarius makes perfect trine with Pluto in Aquarius over the summer of 2026, possibly related to popular rebellion against totalitarian governments, or the imposition of social controls (i.e. social media regulations, etc). Other developments relate to the Small Triangle they form that includes Neptune. To better understand this extremely rare configuration, I refer you to my blogs on the Small Triangle for the historical perspective and Pluto Trine Uranus with Neptune at Midpoint for the predictions.
Here are the two eclipses with the South Node in Leo during this period.
Total Solar Eclipse August 12, 2026 @ 20º ♌️ 06’
Total Solar Eclipse August 2d, 2027 @ 9º ♌️ 55’
