North Node in Cancer 2018-2020

1. Hi Jessica,
   With Diana at 29 Cancer, (and I feel it in my very bones – left a relationship that wasn’t true to me and raise 2 children on my own) it looks like I’ll be going thru some more changes!
   Just wondering if you have any tips for me on how to work with the other factors I have to really take care of mine and my own in this cycle? Ta in advance x

   1. The South Node at 11 Cancer and Diana at 29 Cancer in your chart will both be slowly crossed by the transiting North Node in Cancer, starting in November 2018, and taking you right through 2019 and 2020. You feel Diana in your chart because you raised two children on your own, opting to be free and independent rather than chained to a dishonest relationship. The transiting South Node will cross Diana first in November 2018 so you may be taken back 19 years into the past, or even further back, into past lives – and it will be very much about your immediate family, but also the family tree as a whole on both sides, taking you back down the generations from grandparents outwards. This strongly suggests karma on your mother or father’s side as there is unfinished business and a great need for closure. When the South Node crosses your North Node you will have a distinct replay of the same issue which has been with you your whole life, and probably into past lifetimes too. For more on this look up the Fourth House on Search and also the North Node and South Node.

2. Hi Jessica! I just went to my calendar to log the north node entering cancer on November 6th and noticed that it is election day in the United States. Hmm- changes of some kind for the country? Interesting!

   1. I am having a Homer Simpson ‘Doh!’ moment at this news. Thank you so much. Of course it’s election day, and of course the Node is changing signs. Actually what we are seeing is the North Node going into Cancer, the sign which rules property, family and patriotism – and the South Node going into Capricorn, which as my friend Susan Miller already pointed out, is the dominant Sun sign of so many people at the White House. Karma time.

3. EEk I have a lot of cancer in my chart and I was born in September 1945 with a father I never knew which caused a lot of tension between my mother and myself ! Very complicated !

4. Hi Jessica,

   I have the North Node in Cancer & the 4 earlier periods hold a significance for me, all related to family & homes: I was born in 63 & moved into a new home in 64 where my brother was concieved, born 1 june 65 My mother was born in 8 aug 44 & moved into a new home in 45. I moved into my first home as an adult in 82, sold a home in 2001 & returned for a bit to live in the place where I grew up & where my mother & brother still lived. A highly unfortunate move, as the 3 of us ended in a conflict & eventually went no contact.

   The aftermath has been gruelling to say the least, as the rest of the dysfunctionl clan (led by a matriarch born in Cancer btw), got involved. Now & f i n a l l y I find myself in a place, mentally speaking, where I feel able to start a new chapter & let the past go for good. The very last thing I need to be happening is having to revisit that bundle of horrid trauma, but giving the significance of the ealier mentioned periods, I’m thinking I might need to brace myself for more to come? I have of course given thought to the upcoming conjunction of the nodes in my chart, & given my current frame of mind, it would be ever so lovely for that event to also sparkle with delight in some way. Maybe leaving the past for good is the delight to come?

   1. That is very interesting about your North Node in Cancer in the Fourth House and your family change and property move in 1964 – to start with. You knew your brother in a previous existence and he may not have been your brother! When you say that you have a conflict with him that would fit. You won’t need to revisit the trauma but you will achieve closure and it will probably happen quite naturally and organically around you, from November until you reach the end point in 2020. Each time the Nodes rotate like this it becomes easier, because you know it so well. The fact that your mother was born in 1944 is the other clue here. Karma with the Nodes tends to work, despite us. So we might move on, and wash our hands of particular people or even places, but fate has an odd way of chasing us until we can forgive – perhaps – or play our role in other ways. There is usually a feeling of wholeness or ‘rightness’ about a Node cycle right down to the end when it is hovering close to 3, 2, 1 degrees of the sign, before quitting for another 19 years. It is entirely possible that you and your brother have soul contracts (during the lives between lives) and who knows, your mother too. Exactly what those soul contracts were is another question. The author Caroline Myss has written and broadcast on this and that may be useful!

      1. Thank you Jessica, I’m intriqued! – Regarding my brother, yes I’ve often thought I knew him in an earlier existence, the energy between us have always been loaded in a very intense, negative way. His envy of me in childhood eventually turned into hate & the vendetta he launched against me, is the main reason for going no contact to protect myself as he will stop at nothing. There is of course much, much more to the story & as I don’t expect anyone to ask for forgivness as patterns of denial & pride runs very deep, my focus have been on letting go & find my peace with it somehow.

         I am grateful to know the closure will happen naturally & organically. You say the other clue is that my mother was born in 1944. I don’t know what that means, is it related to the nodes, as hers are also cancer/capricorn? Or the fact that she is now 74; when she dies & my brother inherits the bulk, he might finally leave me alone for good.

         Anyway, – I’d like to share a couple of interesting tidbits to this story: A clairvoyant once told me that I had twins in a previous life & he could have been one of them. -I married an Australian, whose brother has the same birth date as mine; what are the odds of that?! ( & he too, caused me a lot of harm) – An Australian clairvoyant actually warned me against the latter, but as she wasn’t able to pinpoint the person, I mistook it to be about my brother.. maybe it was both?

         -The other members of the family, sister, mother & father also shares birthdays with members of my family, albeit not the same year. Oh, and finally, my mother & grand grand mother (born 1884) shares the same birthday too.

         Pardon the long reply, but the topic of being connected with others in previous lives/in between lives, comes close to mindblowing. And thank you for recommending Soul Contracts by Caroline Myss. I will dive into that one.

         1. The inheritance is the key, because it is about so much more than the money, the possessions or the home. Your mother is tied into the karmic pattern because of her year of birth. It does sound as if the birthday patterns in the family suggest karma too. So this is quite a tapestry you are all woven into, and although it is not the time (at all) to think about your mother’s passing, getting real about the will and also your brother is not a bad idea this year. It would be easier while Jupiter is in Scorpio than at any other time. Do find Caroline’s book – I think you’ll get a lot out of it, even if you just borrow it from your local library.

5. Hi Jessica,
   Thank you for sharing your insights. I really enjoy your articles and you have taught me so much. I have north node at 8 cancer and was wondering if you had any guidance for me. I have a few major things going on in my life. I’ve been given new responsibilities at work and I’m trying to balance work and family life. I recently became the legal guardian of my grandson who will be 2 on August 17. He has been living with me for over a year. Also, i have been separated from my husband for almost 3 years but I haven’t made the decision to file for divorce. He says he has changed but I’ve heard that before. I was trying to look at the picture but I have a few stellums and it is confusing me. I also and that I had four factors in Virgo during the 1982 eclipses. I would appreciate anything you can tell me by looking at my chart. Thank you!

   1. Thank you, I am pleased to know that. There are a few things going on here. You are now the legal guardian of your grandson, who is two years old, and you were born with Ops at 28 Leo. The process began when the North Node (karma) crossed 28 Leo in your Fifth House of younger faces. It was meant to be and you may have known each other before in another incarnation in different roles. You have not made the decision to file for divorce – this is really your Neptune at 17 Scorpio in the Eighth House of joint finances and your Ascendant (image) at 20 Scorpio. When Jupiter (the answer, the opportunity) crosses 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 this year, you will have easily your best chance in a long time, to escape from the real world financially, but also make choices about your name, personal brand, reputation, profile and appearance which benefit you. You’re coming closer to this all the time and in fact, the Jupiter-Neptune trine at 15 Scorpio is very close on Sunday 19th August. Put it this way – you only get one Jupiter transit of your Eighth House every 12 years, and it does rule marriage and mortgage, but also divorce settlements. If you are trying to balance work and family, you need to invent a new system and also use your willpower to become empowered. You were born with Uranus and Pluto in Virgo in the Sixth House of lifestyle, housework, service, duty – and your body, very importantly. You also have your MC and Apollo there. I am sure you do this periodically anyway, but there always has to be a revolution for you, usually involving your food, fitness, drink, drugs, healer, doctor but overall, your regular routine and the way it incorporates work as well as chores. Uranus and Pluto are really about those dramatic overhauls that are dotted across your whole life, actually, and as the Sun will cross Virgo from late August to late September, this seems likely to be the time you can step back from your workstyle/lifestyle and see it from the outside looking in, ready to make quite a drastic change. With Virgo stellium people, God is in the daily details. Especially with a two-year-old!

6. Hello Jessica!
   I have 2 factors in Cancer (moon & Mars) but I have a stellium in Capricorn. Back in 2000-2001 I was working on my university degree & an unpleasant family situation which ultimately resulted in a strained relationship w/ my sibling. I had my 1st Saturn return while pursuing my advanced degree. I see some coming challenges w/ Cancer house & family; but after yrs of “learning,” hope Saturn in Cap regarding my work/career will be easier/less challenging…(or am I selectively hearing my Neptune in Pisces voice? )

   Can you please take a look at my chart & tell me how the change of Cancer in NN & Saturn in SN will affect me?

   As always, many thanks and many blessings to you.

   1. The Moon is at 28 Cancer in your chart, the Ascendant at 28 Libra and the Descendant at 28 Aries. That’s what they call a T-Square and it has delivered tension with the family, going back to 2000-2001. A T-Square is quite unusual. Fortuna at 29 Capricorn is also just one degree away, so that’s close enough to call a Grand Cross. A Grand Cross is always a cross to bear, and you have it because of what took place with the family and your sibling. This is unfinished business and when the transiting (travelling) North Node and South Node slowly go across 29, 28, 27 Cancer and Capricorn you will be sent a fated opportunity to gather up loose ends from the past and weave them into new shape. Hit Search and look up Sacred Geometry. There are ways to deal with a T Square and the Grand Cross as whole. Yet – this is your best chance in years to close a chapter.

7. Hi Jessica, Just read this article a few times and wondered how it impacts me. I was born in Dec 62 during North node in Cancer. Looking at other dates, had a forced arranged marriage (engagement) during the 1981-1983 period which took 7 years to annul but the best thing I could have done and made my life in the US. Went from affluent with my family to having nothing and then made it on my own. In April 2000, I had a job change which lasted 6 months during the dot com crisis and then I moved to a stable job which lasted 17 years. With the North Node in Cancer 29 and 29 at Capricorn and I have major Capricorn factors, and Jupiter in the 4th House, how do you see the North node in Cancer affecting me related to health, family, career, finances. Thanks in advance.

   1. The North Node at 29 Cancer and South Node at 29 Capricorn in your chart will be crossed by the transiting North Node and South Node, precisely, from November 2018. The time has come to address old issues about leaving home, and leaving one or both sides of the family tree far behind. You did this when your family arranged your marriage and you rejected that and moved to America. Starting in November 2018 you are going to spend 2-3 years examining every aspect of what it means to come from your particular family, with all its branches, and to have been born into a particular place. Cancer is about roots, heritage, history and culture going back several generations. You don’t have Jupiter in the Fourth House, by the way – in the Natural House system which you’ll see on this website, it’s in your Twelfth House. The Fourth House is ruled by Cancer, which is where we find your Node. You may want to hit Search and look up the Fourth House as it’s where you will experience unanswered questions and unresolved issues about family loyalty, what was done to you – and what you have done to others. There will very likely be real-world, practical issues about your house, apartment, land or property investments. Your Capricorn side is also triggered in a substantial way between now and 2020, and you may want to look up the Tenth House, as the transits of Pluto, Saturn, the South Node and eventually Jupiter and Ceres, will completely reshape your ambition, position and mission over a 2/3 year period.

8. Hi Jessica,

   I have a stellium in Cancer and currently reviewing living options so this does really feel fitting. Can you share any insights you may have?

   Thanks
   Krupa

   1. Krupa, if you have more than three factors in Cancer, they are in your Fourth House, using the Natural House system, which I prefer for accurate prediction. Starting in November 2018 you must revisit what you did about 19 years ago, the last time the Node was there, and figure out what you owe family members, and what they owe you – spiritually. There may also be issues about the house or apartment you had then, the home town or homeland situation. The Node asks you to come full circle and get closure, but also offer closure to others.

      1. Thanks Jessica. I have Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury in Cancer and another stellium in Sagittarius (Uranus, Neptune and South Node). I was around 15 years old then and I wanted to buy a house! I didnt pursue this as I pursued education but I am nowhere to close to buying (at least in London) which is where I currently live.

         1. Too funny. Even at the age of 15 you wanted to buy a house – you were responding to your chart. That cycle will be back.

9. Hi Jessica,

   My sun is in Cancer and I have other 3 factors in Cancer. In 2001-2002, I decided to emigrate. Now I am debating going back to my native country for personal and professional reasons. So far, things have been rocky especially financially but I keep working hoping that things will improve. The Capricorn oppositions have been a huge detriment with bad strikes coming out of left field.
   What is your assessment?

   1. When the North Node crosses 6 Cancer and conjuncts your Sun in the Fourth House of family, home town and homeland – you may well find you go back, or perhaps make an ultimate commitment to stay, if you have already gone over to try things out. It really depends on how you see yourself. If your identity is tied up with your nationality, your heritage, history, culture and family tree – you could easily decide to repeat the past (the last cycle, around 19 years ago) but in a different way, by emigrating back. It really comes down to matters of pride, ego and public profile, all of which the Sun rules. That will be the deciding factor. The more you see yourself in the light of your people and your place, the more you’ll lean back there.

10. Hi Jessica!
    I went to university in another state in 2001. Didn’t finish & it’s been a huge burden emotionally for me & my family. It actually was thrown in my face on the Aqua Lunar Eclipse July 26th. I’m 35! I wish my family would let it go. I’m about to leave my home state to go overseas. What do you see for me & my family? Mostly me lol.

    Thank you in advance!!

    1. You will revisit the university situation as you go through your Nodal Return. The North Node will come around to 3 Cancer in your Fourth House of family, and the South Node will swing around to 3 Capricorn in your Tenth House of achievement, as 2018 ends and 2019 begins. This is also the time that you slowly start to move towards your Jupiter Return in Sagittarius in the Ninth House of education and academia. You will either go back to school part-time or full-time, or find another way to learn. This isn’t over. You could also easily teach – did you know?

11. Hi Jessica
    I love your articles/blogs and so I have become a member.
    I have Volcano in Cancer 11 deg and reading up on Volcano – it means how I gain power by willpower – controlling your emotions and impulses with a will of iron, and Cancer means mothers, home, family, home town, country, patriotism, roots, heritage, houses, apartments, home exchanges (I got this off your website). I have just helped my daughter get a home mortgage and I was wondering if this has something to do with Cancer in North Node? Also around the years that you have given in regards to North Node in Cancer, it was always just my daughter and myself and going through hell and back again. So I am hoping that I don’t have to go through that again?
    Can you give me some advice?

    1. Thank you. There are two things going on here. A major Leo cycle, which is about motherhood – but motherhood in terms of leading, guiding, mentoring and leaving the legacy of your personality and example to a younger generation. This is about your daughter, whom you helped acquire a home. As you may know we have a lot of Leo weather across 2017, 2018 and so you are actually fulfilling a karmic promise to your daughter, made in your ‘life between lives’ together. No doubt she helped give you a home another time. You have an unusually high Leo count in your chart – Moon 28 Leo, Venus 11 Leo, Uranus 27, Apollo 12, Panacea 23, Cupido 22, Psyche 18, North Node 27. All these planets, asteroids and points are in your Fifth House, which describes how you are Queen to a younger court and lead the line of succession, to secure your throne. You are strongly Leo and may want to read up on that (hit Search) and also the Fifth House. Beyond your daughter there will be other younger faces across your lifetime that you guide, lead and mentor. The return of the North Node to Cancer is much more about family as a whole (your parents, siblings and so on) and the family tree going back across generations. It is also very much about your own house or apartment (not your daughter’s) so there is a subtle but important difference. There is also her father’s side of the family to consider, which of course impacts on your own too. What you will see is the return of familiar themes from last time – but not hell – because you have already been there. Instead you will take all that you learned about life, and human nature, and apply it successfully to an episode that reminds you so much of what you went through with property or family before. The actual karma with your daughter is complete in November. You two have known each other before, although likely not as mother and daughter. You have given and she has received! The wider family and property karma starting in November as the Node changes signs is quite different. The North Node will eventually cross Vulcano in Cancer in the Fourth House of your chart, and yes – you will once again be reminded that real power and strength comes from controlling your feelings – which is exactly what happened last time. Vulcano is rather a formidable and admirable part of you and well worth using. Every time the Node comes around it becomes easier.

       1. Thank you Jessica. Very informative and helpful.

12. Hi Jessica!
    Have been reading this very interesting article and was trying to figure out how it will affect me.,
    I got married in August 2001 ended up in separation in May 2013 . We have a 14 year old boy,15/04/2004.
    Havent got the divorce yet due to some financial issues.
    Also in Jan 2016 my ex ,Sagittarius born in 3 December 1968 moved in my guest appartment cause he was working abroad a lot But since May 2017 he is perminately staying at the guest appartement and started his own financial company.
    Cant help but wondering during 2019 is he going to be able to move out again? Will that cycle between us come to an end?? I Want so much to move on with my life.
    Sorry for the long detailed post!
    And Thanks in advance!!
    Marina

    1. You will be thrilled at a stunning opportunity in November 2018, to travel or travel in the mind as Jupiter in Sagittarius visits your chart. People take ambitious and unforgettable holidays on this cycle, or move. They study, formally or informally. I don’t want you to miss that opportunity because it only comes once every 12 years. It’s the same for your son. There is a chance to relocate here, but also to exchange knowledge. If your birth time is correct, then your DC or Descendant is also 0 Sagittarius, right on your Neptune. No wonder you have boundary issues with this apartment. Hit Search to read all about Neptune. Yet, November brings a chance to draw the line.

13. Hi Jessica,

    Really interesting and on point as usual. My Jupiter 1 Cancer has become extreme good luck with property, and my Diana 1 Sag is my independence, and the two go hand in hand in many ways since 2000/2001, since the fathers/grandfathers in my life made this possible, both of whom were dog lovers as well, so the dogs played a part, in this gift of freedom and income property. I am in the process of selling a property to bring closure to something family related, as the market has peaked, and it’s time.

    Separately, back in 1981, my biological dad married his 2nd wife, she did not want kids and sort of influenced him out of my life. This was a mixed blessing. The only old issue I can imagine coming back on the node transit would tie in to these two people. I am not looking for contact at this point but crazier things have happened.

    Any thoughts? Thanks for all the learnings and I like your explanations of karma.

    CG

    1. I would add, with my Vesta in Cancer, I definitely see that as my biological father with his m other, grandmother and sister always protecting him, and then his 2nd wife, sort of a ‘mama’s boy’ with all these women who spoiled him or enabled him.

       CG

    2. This is fantastic feedback CG, thank you. Astrology is abstract until people give specific examples and this is Jupiter 1 Cancer in your Fourth House quincunx Diana 1 Sagittarius in your Ninth House – to the life. When you have your Jupiter Opposition Jupiter at 1 Capricorn around the same time that the North Node goes to 1 Cancer, you’ll no doubt have another huge property move in your life.

14. How might this impact me if I have no planets in Cancer, but Sun, Mercury and Jupiter all in the 4th house? I have definitely been feeling something going on with family all year, like there’s a healing going on at the DNA level.

    1. You have Ops at 8 Cancer in your Fourth House and Saturn has been hovering around that same degree in the opposite sign of Capricorn. This is really significant as Saturn was Ops’ husband in Roman mythology. Look up Ops and Saturn on Search and also the Fourth House to get a feel for what has been going on. The North Node will enter Cancer in November, as you know, and eventually conjunct your Ops at 8 Cancer too. Ops was also the mother of Jupiter. She is a tremendously important asteroid so try to get to know her.

15. Hi Jessica,
    Thanks for all the pieces you write for the site. Sometimes, it is hard to keep up!

    My question is about my home. When I wrote to you a while back about some housing trouble I had around the year ’99-’00 you suggested that is was all about the nodes, and you were correct. To summerise, my now landlord was trying to buy the building with me in it, and in the process, get me thrown out. He lost bigly(!) and I am still here and he still owns the building. With my Jupiter in Cancer, it is true I have always had a place to lay my head, but not without a battle. (I wonder from time to time if I should have left then, as the whole episode dragged on until he finally relented in 2005. It really knocked the stuffing out of me.)
    I would like to know if there is any insight as to whether something will kick off again with him, although he would have absolutely no reason, none that I can see anyway.

    The other separate issue I have to deal with is I have to renew my residency. Of course I am completely legal resident in the country where I live, but due to laws that have changed in the last 3 years I found out I have to apply for a biometric/residency card in addition to my papers in order to work. The thing that is deeply concerning to me is that in the past I have strikes against me due to various late payments, and with familial help I am honouring these. I will obviously disclose these while applying, but want to know if I should expect a storm. I use the word ‘storm’ in particular as I believe with life we have free will and choices, and with astrology I personally use it to know when it is going to rain so I can bring my umbrella.

    1. You have had Node cycle issues with your housing trouble as that 1999,2000 cycle showed. You have enough of a Cancer-Capricorn signature in your chart to be strongly affected by karma here so just be aware of that with your landlord as you two obviously have quite a lot of complication there. You may even have known him in one or more previous lifetimes. There is no reason for anything to kick off, but the residency issue is similar on a karmic level as it is about belonging/having a home/ownership of a place. If for whatever reason you ‘owe’ your landlord on that basis, or indeed anybody else, you may find the North Node in Cancer cycle starting in November ensures you have to balance the karmic books, not actually with him, but with the universe in general. I would be careful with Uranus crossing Venus in Taurus in 2019 in your Second House of finance and property, in terms of striking up any new kind of relationship on that level as it’s pretty wild and stormy, as you say.

16. Hi Jessica,

    My question is how this is going to play out for my family and I. My father was born on 10 October 1945 what appears on his ID but he says his actual birth date is on 20 October 1945. He married my mother during December of 1981, which, being the youngest son of his parents meant he had to take over my grandparents house and land (this means sharing the homestead with his parents), this is the home we still occupy to date. My grand father passed away in June of 2001 then my father became the sole owner of the land and homestead. 2000 to 2001 was such a bad year, my father was in constant battle with his siblings over the land. In fact starting 2001 extended family life as we knew it on my father’s side slowly disappeared. As I write this now there is no peace between my father and his siblings and its a constant battle of choosing sides. How do you think this will play out for my poor dad?

    1. I am sorry your poor dad has been through this stress over the land and the battle with the siblings. The good news about North Node in Cancer and Fourth House cycles is that they become easier over time. Each ‘loop’ of the karma every 19 years means that it becomes much less complicated to deal with as people ‘pay off’ their karma with each other. Your father was born on the very first loop of this huge cycle so it is coming around again, but this time there will be a chance to fix things. Your grandfather (in spirit) will be able to help. A really simple thing for you to do, if you agree with it, is to light a candle and shut the door. Close your eyes and think strongly of your grandfather and other family members in spirit who can help bring peace. Put out the request. The invisible world is ready, willing and able to help but they cannot interfere – we have to ask. The Chinese are just one of many cultures who understand ancestors are always with us and as you all go into this new North Node in Cancer cycle it is the perfect time to make a request. Wheels will turn. They will hear – trust me.

       1. Thank you so much! Will do

17. Hi Jessica,
    I have been a premium member since April this year. I am so glad I found you and am totally fascinated with your amazing work.
    Can you please shed some light on what my nth node in Cancer 3, Aesculapia Cancer 13, and sth node in Capricorn 3, Ceres Capricorn 6,
    Salacia Capricorn 21 and Saturn in Pisces 3 mean? I am a sun Taurus and have a stellium in Taurus 6, Pisces 6, Gemini 6, Virgo 4.
    My husband, sun Pisces, and I met in early 1983 have been living at the same place since July 1989. We run a small sport recreational business together and have been reasonably successful, worked hard, raised our family and have great neighbors. I would like to slow down and possibly move. I understand it’s entirely our choice, however, would the end of the north node in Cancer cycle be a timely choice? Would like your insights. Love your work. Many thanks, Mel J

    1. Thank you Mel. Your North Node is at 3 Cancer in your Fourth House of property and family, so you will of course have your North Node Return (also known as the Nodal Return) once we are past November and it lines up at 3 Cancer. This also coincides with an important period for your finances. You were born with Mercury at 1 Taurus and Jupiter at 5 Taurus, which is pretty close – and Taurus rules your Second House of money. Transiting or travelling Uranus, which brings the most radical changes, liberating revolutions and ‘Independence Day’ is going to cross 1 Taurus and 5 Taurus, and along the way he will sextile your North Node at 3 Cancer too, along with your Nodal Return. This has never happened in your lifetime and it is a classic indicator of quite unusual, unique circumstances which arrive very suddenly, are tremendously exciting and set you free. You will feel the climate change in your chart almost as soon as the North Node enters Cancer on Tuesday 6th November 2018, although it will take the Node a long time to move from 29 Cancer, back across 28, 27, 26 and all the way to your own Node at 3. It will also take Uranus (the revolution) until 2019 to stop going backwards and forwards and eventually go headfirst into Taurus across that vital 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 spot. So really we are talking about next year, though you will feel the ‘bump’ in November. You have the IC or Immum Coeli at 21 Sagittarius, the sign of travelling, moving, emigrating. If your birth time is absolutely accurate, this is a sign of two things – an unmissable opportunity and genuinely lucky break in 2019 – but also the fact that a member of your family tree, on either side, was a natural ‘roamer’ and stands out in the family for having switched countries, or committed to a life of travel. You have inherited that if your birth time is strictly accurate and it will be triggered in 2019. This seems like way more than just another residence move. It feels like a whole opening up your world view and a liberating new direction. Yet, the Uranus transit (which we know is valid even without a birth time that’s 100%) is going to show you the unexpected, the unlikely, the unusual and the unconventional. You don’t plan those things so in 2019 there is also a sense that destiny is going to pick up the snowdome of your life and shake around a bit.

18. Hi Jessica,

    I so appreciate your insights and lengthy reply. Thank you. My Sagittarian mother emigrated from Germany when she was 19. I love her adventurous and philosophical nature. All my relatives and some dear friends live in this amazing country. My birth time is accurate. I am going to embrace the lucky break in 2019 and the Uranus in Taurus revolution and all it has to offer.
    I learn so much from your articles , books and the generous insights you give others. Namaste

    1. Thank you – I am glad you located the importance of your Sagittarian mother, who emigrated from Germany. I think 2019 will be unforgettable for you. Namaste.

       1. Hi Jessica,
          I was born 25 June 1957, 3 Cancer, 22 Venus and feel I have been to hell and back with my brother (born 7 Oct 1954). Its all to do with our mother (still alive, born 24 Feb 1930) and her property (future inheritance), betrayal and conniving behaviour from our brother who seems hell bent on destroying my sister and I because we have found out what he has been up to with mums money after a huge fallout with him mid 2015. He will stop at nothing and we have had to go the legal route to protect our mum. He has just started another round of legals. I realise this must be karmic and there are lessons for all but I just want it to end. I was after Justice but have realised that peace is far more important and that in this life he may well just get away with stealing millions… How do you see this playing out. Many thanks,

          1. I am very sorry that your brother is doing this and your elderly mother is involved. You need to log in so I can see your personal birth chart, please.

             1. Hi again Jessica. I have now become a member and am hoping you can help me with my query sent earlier regarding the enormous challenge that I am having with my brother. Just for some other background regarding the relevant years, 2001/2001 I was selling a property and building my home and it was the time where my brother sold one of my mothers properties under the guise of a loan but never paid her back. 1981-1983, I got married, moved from Sydney to Perth and our first child was born in 1983. (This relationship was also abusive so ended in divorce). I have had some enormous luck though, feeling angels have been on my side where it came to this battle with my brother. eg a retired pro bono barrister angel who saved my sister and I hundred of thousands of dollars etc Thanks again, Marie

             2. Marie, the situation with your brother and mother will be shown by Cancer and Fourth House (family) placements in your chart, but also Scorpio and the Eighth House, which is about family legacies, and the last will and testament that involves parents and children. You have Sun 3 Cancer, Venus 22 Cancer in the Fourth House. You have Proserpina at 13 Scorpio in the Eighth House and the North Node at 18 Scorpio. Taking that apart – you shine brightest when you aim for your brilliant best within the family, but also with property, your family tree as a whole, your heritage, culture, roots, home town and homeland. That is how you dazzle. It’s also where the work is – it does not come automatically. Venus in the Fourth House suggests a complicated relationship within your own family (your first child and your former husband) as Venus had the most intense connection with her son, Cupid, but also a tangled situation with her husband Vulcanus and lover Mars. Proserpina is the go-between; the woman who goes between two powerful people, or two powerful organisations/sides and tries to placate them both. It is a powerful but precarious position to be in. In the Eighth House this is about the money, property, business or charity. The real clincher in the chart is your North Node also in the Eighth House. I am sure you know the North Node is ancient karma, agreed in your ‘life between lives’ with others so that soul contracts, debts and repayments of a spiritual nature can be figured out in this lifetime. You are free to use Search or look through your ebooks to take this pattern apart. You mention your sister too, so this is part of the Cancer and Scorpio story along with your mother. Once the North Node itself travelling (transiting) goes into Cancer from November 2018, you will of course find it crosses your Sun and then Venus, so the past will return from about 19 years ago, when you were involved in this property situation with your brother. You will get completion. So will your sister, mother and brother. The completion depends on what you left, and where you left it, about 19 years ago. Use your self-control and willpower, please, as you also have Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn, right opposite Cancer, moving to 22 degrees and thus opposite your Venus. This is all over and done with by Christmas 2020 (and how!) but while Pluto is there – as a Premium Member you will always be told about this in your weekly updates – you will need to ‘be the boss of yourself’ and control and run your own ship – never mind what the cross-currents are. I would avoid becoming involved in new property arrangements or family ‘deals’ when Pluto opposes Venus, and Saturn too – neither of these cycles is particularly useful. It will take Pluto and Saturn a while to get to Capricorn 22 but keep your eye on that. The North Node in your own chart at 18 Scorpio is the most helpful thing you have to work with. Do all you can this year to pursue what you need in terms of the property, the money and the family. Why? You have Jupiter (solutions, breakthroughs, win-win outcomes) crossing 18 Scorpio for the first time in 12 years. That’s big. Do this in September. As an example, on September 11th 2018 we find Jupiter at 18 Scorpio sextile the Sun at 18 Virgo. This is right on your North Node of family and financial karma. Prognosis positive. I’m not saying it is perfect, because you have a ton of karma to cycle through with the transiting North Node in Cancer too, and those oppositions to your Venus in the Fourth House. Yet – September will help you so much. On a more spiritual note, light a candle, find a quiet place, close your eyes and ask an ancestor for help with your brother, mother, sister and anyone else. Picture their face and make the request – say it out loud – aim for something spirit can help with – a peaceful outcome for all.

19. Thankyou so much Jessica. The only thing that has kept me going is knowing that I’m a spiritual being in a body. Everything you said has made so much sense down to issues with my oldest daughter who I also own property with and finding solutions for that (no more property entanglements for me!) to complicated relationship with mother (Italian heritage on both sides of parents). I was caring for my mother who has dementia so this issue has complicated her financial affairs and our brother has taken full advantage!. We are awaiting another outcome from court (second round) so this might be the September date you mentioned. I feel I’m fighting for my father’s honour, who died in 1998 and who I speak with on the other side so the candle thing was so beautiful to hear from you. It’s a David and Goliath situation but feel I can get through this. Again, thankyou so much for an amazing explanation. Meant to hear this and has helped to keep me focused and grateful for any spiritual growth I gain from this. So happy I found your blog, even though I’ve read your horoscopes for many years. Marie xx

    1. I am glad you are in touch with your father in spirit. That will make a big difference. He has to do what is right for all of you, in every way, and for some years to come so he will be working with the guides who help the family as a whole. Dementia is difficult enough without this rift. It sounds as if there is quite a pattern there, if your property with your daughter is also a concern. I would look long and hard at those Taurus and Scorpio nodes if I was you. And do be aware of the transits to come. Thank you Marie.

20. Thank you Jessica, fascinating article and responses to questions. I have North Node in Cancer, born November 1963 and my mother has North Node in Capricorn. I have stelleums in Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn. I have always been career and education orientated. I have been successful educationally, career not so and getting educated was a difficulty, due to lack of financial help from my family. Parents split up during 1st nodal return, just as before I went to university to study my first degree. I got a lot of my mother’s resentment towards my father and her own late father. In during my 2nd Nodal return 2000, 2001 my mother and I had a huge row and I distanced myself from the family for about three years. There have been tensions in my family, though I think I am on steadier ground in my relationship to my mother and resolving some of my issues with her resentment towards me and lack of support throughout my childhood and youth. I still have a few issues with a younger sibling who has been lavished with financial assistance throughout her life, when it was made clear to me I stand alone. My sister Jupiter and Neptune very close in her 8th house, ascendant and moon Aries and sun Aquarius. She is also taking an increasing role in ‘helping’, my father with his finances as he is showing early signs of dementia. I live far away from my family and only get to see briefly every two to three months. I still want to get a career break, particularly in politics and community issues. Talking about ancestors, there is a gentleman who was a cousin on my father’s, side who passed over long before I was born. He was a member of the first Irish Parliament, when Eire was formed and had been Mayor of Kilkenny. I feel a very close rapport with him, he is reputed to have been a man of immense courage and integrity. I do look at his photograph meditively when I need strength. Incidentally I am Mayor this year in my small town in Cumbria. What do you see happening around this? Many thanks Jane

    1. Jane, your role as Mayor is very interesting, as it is so typical of your Cancer-Capricorn patterns, in that you have inherited your ancestor’s astrological DNA in his old job in the Irish Parliament, yet you have also been dealing with major family issues. Next year will change your life in regard to what you think of as foreign people and places – this may of course be Ireland itself! You have this unusual line-up in your chart with the Moon at 19 Capricorn in your Tenth House of career, exactly semi-sextile Venus and Mars at 19 Sagittarius in your Ninth House of travel, and travel in the mind. When transiting Jupiter moves to 19 Sagittarius in 2019 there will be a stunning opportunity or answer for you, in regard to your ambitions, and it will rest with a distant place or ‘foreign’ culture or nationality.

21. Hey Jessica- great article as always! I have a lot of Cancer aspects, but also a lot of Capricorn- what should I make out of this? Anything to watch out for in particular?
    Thanks for everything!

    1. This is a reshape of your ambitions and direction in life, starting in November with the Node’s change of sign, and slowly taking you to Christmas 2020, so it’s essentially all of 2019 and 2020. The context here is where you belong, in terms of your place in the world, your home, home town and homeland. It’s also very much about your family or household, if you have flatmates or tenants, for example. You won’t be able to separate the two across this period; one decision about the house or apartment, for example, will have to be made in synch with major choices about the next project or role. You are ambitious, but you also have a powerful sense of identity with where you come from, because it defines who you are. Figuring that out will not be easy, but it will be worth it, and you will really feel as if you’ve closed a chapter, at Christmas 2020 when Jupiter and Saturn finally move out of Capricorn, off that axis of your chart.

22. Hi Jessica! My husbands North Node is in Cancer at 22° (he was born 12/18/1981). Nothing major happened in 2000-01 in home/family (senior in high school). Would love any insight on his upcoming nodal return (both of his parents passed away in the last 4 years and we sold family home of 40 yrs). Would this time be lucky for us to start a family and buy a home? The only cancer placement I have is my IC at 15° which I don’t know much about. Thank you!

    1. Are you sure your husband’s North Node is 22 Cancer? It would be extremely unusual to have had his North Node Return in Cancer in the Fourth House all those years ago and not see a major event with a family member, the house, apartment, his home town or homeland. You want to start a family and buy a home and your timing is right in 2018. Jupiter, the planet of solutions, good fortune, simple luck and benefits is in Scorpio passing through your Eighth House of property, marriage and money, mortgages and also family inheritance and legacies. You have the Sun at 21 Scorpio so when Jupiter moves to 21 Scorpio at the end of September your door will open. Just remember to have flexibility and room to make changes with any contracts or other agreements as you were also born with Pluto at 0 Scorpio in the Eighth House and Uranus will slide back to 0 Taurus and oppose that in 2019. This always spells unexpected changes out of the blue and it can be quite hard work, so you need to make arrangements which cover all the bases, if you possibly can. Yet, if you have Jupiter crossing your Sun, in the Eighth House, that can only happen every 12 years so you’re in luck towards the end of next month. Look up the Eighth House on Search when you’ve finished reading this reply to find out more.
