Working with the Pisces/Virgo Eclipse Series

Embracing the North Node in Pisces: A Journey of Surrender and Trust (January 2025 - July 2026)

In January 2025, the North Node moves into Pisces, opening up an 18-month chapter of deep spiritual lessons and growth along the Pisces-Virgo axis. This energy is inviting us to surrender, trust, and flow with the divine plan—no more gripping tightly to control or getting lost in the details.

The shift to Pisces North Node is about embracing a softer, more intuitive way of living. It’s about releasing the need to micromanage every aspect of our lives and leaning back into faith that something bigger is guiding us.

Understanding the North and South Nodes

In astrology, the North Node represents the qualities we’re being asked to grow into—the energy we need to reach for. The South Node, on the other hand, shows us the habits, beliefs, and patterns we need to release.

With the North Node in Pisces, we’re being called to:

  • Embrace oneness and divine connection.

  • Dive into spirituality, intuition, and the unified field of consciousness.

  • Surrender control and trust in the divine plan.

And with the South Node in Virgo, we’re being encouraged to let go of:

  • Micromanaging and over-analyzing.

  • Perfectionism and self-doubt.

  • A narrow focus that makes us miss the bigger picture.

This axis is really about balance. How can we soften our grip on control (Virgo) while staying connected to the flow and magic of life (Pisces)?

Mantras for Navigating the Pisces North Node

Here are some mantras to help anchor this energy:

  • “Be in the world, but not of it.”

  • “I let go and let God.”

  • “May Thy will be done, not mine.”

  • “What would you have me do? Where would you have me go? What would you have me say?”

These phrases capture the essence of this transit: surrendering the ego’s need to control and inviting in divine guidance.

2025: A Year of Big Changes

2025 has a distinct energy of transformation, and with the North Node in Pisces, we’re being asked to surrender to what is and trust that the bigger picture will reveal itself in time.

If you catch yourself trying to control or micromanage outcomes, pause and ask:

  • Where can I soften and trust more?

  • How can I reconnect with my intuition and inner knowing?

  • Am I zoomed in too much on the details, losing sight of the bigger picture?

This year, it’s all about leaning back into co-creation with the universe rather than pushing forward with force.

Eclipses: Destiny’s Doorways

Save the date:

  • Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: 18th September 2025, peaking at 03:44 am BST.

Eclipses are like cosmic plot twists—they bring sudden shifts, unexpected events, and pivotal moments that can realign us with our soul path. But not every eclipse is life-changing for everyone.

Here’s what to remember about eclipses:

  • They influence us collectively and individually.

  • Their impact is stronger if they touch a personal planet or angle (like your Ascendant or Midheaven).

  • Eclipses come in series, telling a bigger story over several years. Each one adds a new chapter, helping us course-correct towards our soul’s true path.

Zooming Out: The Bigger Eclipse Story

Astrology on social media can feel hyper-focused on each new or full moon, but with eclipses, it’s so much more powerful to zoom out and see the bigger picture.

The last time we had North Node eclipses in Pisces was 2006–2007, and with the North Node in Virgo, it was 2015–2017. Reflecting on these periods can help us understand the themes coming back around now.

Take a moment to consider:

  • What was unfolding in your life during these times?

  • Do any patterns or lessons feel like they’re resurfacing?

Eclipses are opportunities to revisit and rework the themes that have been playing out in our lives.
