The Nodes in Taurus and Scorpio

199 Responses

1. Hi Jessica, thank you so much for your valuable astrological (and the rest) contribution to the human family. I confidently share your posts with family and friends. My question: I have been reading your posts about the nodes approaching taurus and scorpio for months now with utter fascination. In my birth chart, I have the north node 15 scorpio and the south node 15 taurus. So the reverse. Google searches on the topic are not much help. Can you shed any light on what this may mean for me?
   With thanks, Rebecca.

   1. Sure, Rebecca. Have a look at your flipbooks as there is a fair bit in there about the Second House, Eighth House, Taurus, Scorpio, South Node, North Node for you to explore. Even the reverse nodes, in a mirror in 2022-2023 – give you the same question. How can you make your life budget work with that of a partner or relative? This is big ticket item time. A house, apartment, business, shares, big debt or big bank credit. Art, jewellery, heirlooms. Taurus is your values. Scorpio is his/her/their values. The nodes are going to expose that. You have to figure it out, by pricing what cannot be priced. In general, Rebecca, try to keep the stakes low, as you really don’t want the stress of a huge amount, or a large asset or debt, in the middle of these lunar nodal oppositions, together with Uranus (the shock) in Taurus. Uranus stays in Taurus until 2026 so just accept life is really unpredictable. Yes, you can gain and in fact you will – when Jupiter goes into Taurus in 2023-2024. Yet, life is still really unstable and volatile, financially, so you may want to consult a tried, tested and trusted financial professional who is across the real world volatility of life until 2026 to help you. The legacy you make naming others and any legacy they make naming you should absolutely be done under an experienced professional eye, if possible. Not that this cycle portends demise – but it is Scorpio weather, so we need to be practical about the will. Just making a will or remaking it until 2026 will be useful, because it will help you update the value of people/situations/places/entities.

2. Wow! Amazing insight as always, Jessica! I’m deff looking closely into the political/finance news lately. It’s just fascinating to see all of this play out collectively. Also, I have various personal planets in Scorpio and Taurus and I’m wondering if you can shine a light on what shows up financially for me? Besides my day job, I have a part time small online business that I feel I’m now really feeling the need to build more consistency and grow further. It generates a small amount money but it can self-sustain which is great but I will like to focus on increasing my presence and increasing of course sales/income. So I’ve been building my own website, increasing social media presence, leveling up the quality of my candles etc. but still wondering what other types of products to bring, how to market myself etc.

   Any insight on how the nodes in the taurus/scorpio touching my personal planets could affect this?

   As always, thank you!!

   1. Your candles business will succeed in 2022 as meditation, Buddhism and religion return. If you want to launch yourself as the face and name, use April-October and the first quarter of 2023. The issue for you is your Scorpio-Taurus patterns in Scorpio-Taurus weather (2022 and 2023). This is not so much about the money from the candles, as the difference between your life budget, and that of a partner. Your life budget and that of a former partner. Your life budget and that of a future partner! Your life budget – and that of family members. There will be a lot of spiritual calculations done. Try to keep the stakes as low as possible (do not heavily borrow) as you are living with Uranus (shock) in Taurus (supply chains, shops, banks) until 2026 and the less at stake the better. Use the Tarot, please, to validate.

3. Hi Jessica,

   Can you please tell how this transition will affect my chart, what I should be prepared for and take advantage of?

   Thanks in advance.

   1. You will need to log in, Vinnie, as I cannot see your natal chart here. Thank you.

4. Dear Jessica. Can you see anything about how the Ukraine/Russia crisis will turn out?

   1. It is a test for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy in particular. Karma from March 1938 returns. There is a clear moral choice for those countries. Back in 1938 Nazi Germany annexed Austria (same patterns in January 2022). Italy and Japan, actually, did not side with the Allies. Switzerland stayed neutral. So you can see why unfortunately we have to go to the very edge with Vladimir Putin. Whatever happens will be a shock.

5. Dear Jessica,
   I anticipate each article of yours and I always feel such a reward after I finish reading! Are there any predictions for Greece you might have in store?
   I am Capricorn (Jan 8th) with a strong Stellium there. Sun, Venus, Apollo, Bacchus, Neptune, Mercury, Minerva and Vesta. Pluto has passed through every planet, asteroid I have and is currently crossing the last asteroid, Minerva. It’s funny..I just realized that I had a dream of an owl yesterday. I just accepted a job offer in an international company with offices in Greece (my natal moon is conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius and my natal Juno is close to Saturn also in Sagittarius).
   My natal North node is in Taurus in 7th degree (and my south node in Scorpio is conjunct my natal Pluto), currently I have no love partner to share my life and finances with.
   Juno is currently conjunct Pluto and I clearly feel that the new job commitment will profoundly change me. I am a bit worried, but optimistic. I would Love your insight. What do you think I should expect?
   Thank you so much!

   1. Greece has four charts and the horoscope set for July 24th 1974 at 4.00am in Athens makes her a Leo nation (only just). It’s not really the true Greece, though, as the nation is so ancient anyway, and much of the architecture, culture and art is still there, taking us back to the heavily Aquarian chart of 1830. I predicted Greece would leave the EU eventually or be part of a reshaped/reborn EU and that stands. Saturn will go over her Aquarius patterns, then Pluto from 2023. Congratulations on the new job. The owl is Minerva – as you know – from your dream. That is a very good omen. There will be some delays, rewriting or flux with the actual title, the paperwork, your name online and so on. Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn. Do get everything in writing and read the fine print. I am sure you will.

6. Thank you so much for all your insight! Truly appreciated.
   Are you able to tell me how this will affect my finances?
   Thank you!!

   1. You may have a direct involvement with the countries draw into the 1938 karma, like Great Britain, France, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Spain, Austria (most of Europe) and if so, then you are in for two years of unpredictable situations with your bank account, income, house, apartment and even basic shopping and supermarket supply. I can’t remember the exact year I published a statement about rations coming back, but it pre-dated the pandemic (it is on this website somewhere!) I have no idea where you live or where you work, or where you income is invested. If it’s Europe then there will be decisions about your values ahead. People already make those every day at the moment as politicians put human lives in their accounting while some humans refuse to play the game and have self-isolated, to protect the vulnerable. It’s on that level. The nodal cycles in your chart are not going to be just about cash. They will be about your ethics, morals, principles, values and have an unforgettable impact on you by 2023.

7. I can’t get enough of your fantastic blog posts. For the first time ever I don’t have any factors at the degrees you mention in Taurus, Scorpio or elsewhere in my chart. The one thing I do have is my Sun in Capricorn at 9 degrees. I am definitely feeling the $$ squeeze both in my crypto and stock accounts. Holding my breath and hoping this will rebound.

   Someone beat me to the Russia/Ukraine question. I was wondering if any Karma could return for the now disbanded USSR. So many things happened in 1939 with the Soviet Union; their 18th congress, the German-Soviet Credit Agreement; all the mess with Poland which Germany was deeply entrenched, Nazi Germany. I wonder how all of that will play out for both countries and if Russia, as the biggest section of USSR will pick up the Karama from the now disbanded Soviet Union?

   But mostly I want to know if there is anything in my chart being triggered, even if not by degree.

   Thank you!

   1. Thank you. Russia in March 1938 is of course, Joseph Stalin and The Great Terror, shortly before August 1939 when Stalin made a pact with Nazi Germany. This was the era of the secret police – and the March show trials in Moscow 1938 are linked to Putin right now, karmically. March 1938 is also when Britain declares herself ready to go to war to defend France and Belgium. And the Austrians cheering as Hitler marched in and took over. So many are owed, and owe, from March 1938! Uranus tells us there will be a shock involved, and although all the cards fell into place on January 18th and 19th, they are yet to fly off the table. Financially, you need to treat 2022 and early 2023 as a waiting game and learning experience. This is the marathon not the sprint. The changes in Europe which arrived right on the lunar node ingress (news of the record inflation levels) will ultimately have an impact on all of us. This may be your story with cryptocurrency and stocks, or perhaps it is about oil for you, as Pemex is right in the March 1939 karma zone in Mexico. Whatever the story, take your time, take good advice and remember that the same story is told twice in your natal and solar chart. Saturn in Aquarius in the solar Second; Uranus and the North Node in your natal Second. That is a major comment on the need to work hard on your life budget in 2022 in particular. Be prepared to switch the tags.

8. Hi Jessica,

   Thank you for everything you do, for your hard work.
   I`m still at the beginning with astrology, which is hard and very complicated for me, but I`m doing my best to learn. However, it will be a long time before I`ll be able to understand something.
   If you have the time, can you tell me how all this is going to affect me, please?

   Thank you,

   1. Thank you. Basically, to get through 2022 and 2023, try and forget life before 2018 when you knew where you stood with banks, currency, the prices in the supermarket, your work/salary and the rest. Uranus (the revolution) moved to Taurus (finance, security, property) then and from 2020, when the pandemic hit, so did a perfect storm in astrology. This means keeping out of debt if you possibly can. Thinking differently about food, the budget, your savings, and so on. How differently? Well, the Tarot will give you a clue. You have Uranus in Taurus transiting your Second House of personal budget. Now, you also have the nodes going through the Second House and also the Eighth House, which is partner or family finances. So stay light on your feet, think laterally and keep moving until 2026. Do not assume old answers or old situations, because they are not relevant. The Garden Oracle can also help you answer your own questions.

9. Wow Jessica! Very interesting. My moon is 10 Taurus and Hygeia is 10 Taurus , psych 09 Scorpio. (I have other 10 degree factors in other signs, as well) My husband ASC 11 Scorpio, DESC 11 Taurus (we are pretty positive about birth time.) We are moving due to a job offer for him. Nothing firm in writing as of yet but the offer is there and they are in the process of writing it up. I am starting a new teaching career. Please tell me , How will this effect us. His Sun is 29 Leo if that matters.

   1. Thank you. Your husband may need to wait until 24th February to have the last final small detail of the new job confirmed, or a second one, if that also appears. Mercury Retrograde is with you both until then. The cluster around 10/11 Taurus and Scorpio is a note to allow for the unpredictable, unlikely, unusual and unexpected both with salary and career, for you both. This is down to Uranus at 10/11 Taurus in January, February, March right across the Taurus-Scorpio axis, which is about bank accounts, insurance, shares, pensions, superannuation, legacies, houses, apartments and so on. The golden rule with this transit is to keep it flexible, mobile, and low, in the stakes department. We are back in 1938 and one stone thrown, in one country, can cause waves globally so keep an eye on that.

10. Dear Jessica, thank you very much for navigating us through this challenging time. Could you please give me some insights on what future would bring for me in terms of my employment (will I be able to maintain current one) and possible relocating of place of living. Our family wants to sell house and relocate, we are thinking to move to abroad. The house is owned by my wife. Please look at her chart – professionally she has stuck from 2013 year! Maybe relocation will help her? Her horoscope details:sun 23 pisces, venus 23 Aries, moon 4Taurus, Jupiter 24 cancer, Uranus 24 virgo, Pluto 19 Virgo, Neptune 24 Scorpio, Chiron 25 Pisces, ASC 29 Scorpio , DESC 29 Taurus, North N 7 taurus, south N 9 scorpio… many thanks for your job. Stay save!

    1. Thank you. If your wife has that chart, then 2022 involves a lot of compromise, wrangling and patience if you want to sell the house and move. One of the issues on a wider, national/international level will be domestic flight, trains and other short-haul transport. So it really depends on where you wish to move, and the reality of that region/country in terms of its connections. There is a huge amount of denial and fantasising going on at the moment, about the reality of the pandemic and its inland routes. What we are going to see in 2022 and early 2023 is a big push back from councils and also the regions. So the ‘where’ question is massively important, particularly if you are only moving in order to regularly return to where you left. Use the Tarot to look at the location question in 2022-2023.

11. Hi Jessica. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing gifts with us.

    Please can you share your thoughts with me off what this year might look like. I have my nodal return in 27 deg taurus and heavy scorpio influences in my natal chart. Its been a tough 19 years this far.

    Stay blessed
    Kindest regards

    1. The lunar nodes circle back forever, and were known at Stonehenge. A Nodal Return in Taurus-Scorpio takes you back to past life lessons and rewards, and reminds you why you are here. We are currently living through a period in history when politicians are pricing human lives. They have a spreadsheet economy based on collateral damage – death and long-term illness. Vile though this is, there is no difference here with the road to war, which began in 1938 and was real by 1939. This does sound rather heavy but as the nodes show past lives, it may be that you had a life then, in the late 1930s and have come back to sort things out with your own soul. It really depends on your family tree now and also any connection you have with the nations drawn into the karma. Switzerland is a big one. Switzerland was neutral in the last war and the secrecy of Swiss banks is now up for karmic examination. America and Russia are meeting in ‘neutral’ Switzerland to discuss Putin’s planned invasion of the Ukraine. So have a look at the family tree. And see where life has taken you. Big bells usually ring as soon as the nodes change signs, which they just did, over the last 48 hours. Japan is another one. So is Mexico (Pemex).

12. Jessica,
    I have various planets in Scorpio and Taurus and I’m wondering if you can shine a light on what shows up financially for me? How the nodes in the taurus/scorpio will affect my birth chart and what karma is coming for me? What karma will I repay if any?

    Thank you so much

    1. Well, if you never did pay your dues with money, a house, valuables, a business, an apartment the last time (2003-2004) then you may find the universe asks you to settle up in some way, in 2022-2023. This may come about because of larger forces than you. So, for example, Italy saw Silvio Berlusconi announcing his bid for President of Italy just as the nodes went back to their 1938 position. That is a heavy karmic test for formerly fascist Italy. You may be pulled into a story with Italians or Italy, perhaps, or find that your European ancestry, friends, family are also part of the story, as energy prices skyrocket in Europe (just as Russia is planning to invade Ukraine and Germany has to make a hard choice about gas prices). It’s really on that level. The nodes are always about the tides of time, and you get pulled into them. You can do well, or not so well, depending on what you did last time. Another really obvious example is Pemex.

13. Hello Jessica, thank you for your sound advice & sharing your psychic & writing gifts with us, as always.
    My husband (3/Dec/1971 at 12.30pm in Szolnok, Hungary) and I (29/Aug/1989 at 1.20pm in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia) are planning to purchase our first house together in south of Spain. Would this be advisable this year or in the near future? We’ve had our hearts set on settling down here & our strongly Capricorn daughter enjoys it here. Additionally, my digital marketing career seems to be stalled and I have issues getting it off the ground.

    Thank you for your help,
    Ashleigh

    1. Your husband’s chart is set for lucky timing with any property purchase in Spain by May, or again October-December. You are free of a rather stuck situation with property, home town or homeland that was there in 2020, 2021. You also stand to gain financially, or save money, from May-October so the pair of you are in a useful cycle. Your career will take a lot of compromise, effort and negotiation in 2022, but after March 2023 you can put an obstacle course behind you and focus on the future. Digital marketing will take a radical new direction, if you remain there, from May 2024 and by 2026, if you are still in that field, it’s an exciting revolution that will reward you for experimenting.

14. Hi Jessica! Thanks for the write-up. Taurus is my second house. I also have an ascendent in Taurus (at 25, not 29, so more than a few degrees off) and Fortuna and Psyche in Scorpio. Can you tell how you see the shifting of the nodes may be playing out in my chart? Appreciate your insight.

    1. Assuming you don’t have any interest in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Germany to Russia, or the peculiar departures at Credit Suisse, or the vaccine mandate in Austria (first of its kind in Europe) then the 1938 flashback with these nodes will be about your will – and any legacy which names you. The gap in values between yourself and others who leave assets to you, or to whom you leave assets, will be more obvious to you in 2022-2023 and it’s not a bad idea, especially with Psyche in Scorpio in the Eighth House, to get proper advice – even if you did so last time. Psyche is what lives forever about you, and in fact is a significator for the last will and testament of yourself and others. Under these unusual transits it is sensible to review your ideas or expectations – for no other reason than if you’re going to update, do it now. It may be something as basic as the plunge in shares that you were banking on, once Europe finishes up in 2023.

15. Thank you as always. Would you look at my chart please for finances – I am thinking of buying a house this year but am unsure if better to wait and see if things drop in price the following year or two or if I should just get on with it. I need security and income for when I am pensioned and trying to find ways to make it work.
    thank you for your guidance

    1. If you could buy a house at any time at all, astrology advises Jupiter in Taurus. Jupiter is luck, abundance and solutions and in Taurus (prices) in your Second House of life budgeting, it’s a horoscope timing twist you will want, from May 2023 until May 2024. Ask the Tarot for validation on that if you want to wait. If you want to make your move in 2022, remember you are doing it against the karmic background of 1938 and the situation in the United Kingdom will be powerfully affected by Switzerland, Credit Suisse, the Italian election, Germany and Russia. So it’s volatile. The other thing to watch is the rise of The New Local, which I have predicted a few times at The Conscious Cafe and also on this website, and in the media. So the value of property depends on precisely where it is, and how the council and local government is playing it – it really will come down to the area, its transport and its own legislation, especially after 2026.

16. Hello do i have to buy an appartement or stay as a renter ? Thank you

    1. You are in France and it really depends on where in France you want to buy or rent. Local interests, local political power and changes in transport and travel are just beginning in 2022 and from 2026 this is a revolution, no matter if you are in Paris or in Normandy. You would gain from watching politics very closely and seeing which way legislation is going as this will have a huge impact on the price of renting or owning.

17. D/Jessica – hi. Thank you for sharing your visions. I think you said when the pandemic first hit you immediately went back to lovely Australia. Is something horrific going to happen to England in the next few years. Kind regards

    1. Not horrific, but people who fantasise about Post-Covid don’t understand astrology. Between March 8th 2023 and February 14th 2026, Saturn (serious tests) will be in Pisces, right opposite the Virgo (health) placements of billions. Particularly – those born in the 1960’s who have Uranus and Pluto in Virgo. So this is about the replacement of the NHS in the United Kingdom and the obstacle course that involves. It also suggests that until travel and emigration is controlled, which is historically the problem with plagues (the astrology says this too) COVID-19 will continue to produce variants. So this is really hard work for the world, actually, not just the United Kingdom, and there are major questions about the work force, employment and infrastructure, which Virgo also rules. Politicians and businessmen who are not planning around the pandemic in 2023-2026 are wildly over-optimistic. It can be controlled but it will take massive effort.

18. Hi Jessica,
    I have Mars in late degrees of Taurus…and moon/neptune in scorpio. We have been dealing with family business and trying to add partner (some ppl are dragging feet) will this transit of nodes effect this or would this be more personal to me? Thanks so much

    El

    1. It really depends on what degrees are involved. The nodes have just gone to 29 Taurus-Scorpio as you know and there is a direct karmic replay of April, May, June 2003 when they were also at 29 Taurus-Scorpio. Family members or partners with placements there will be part of a karmic story with you and you will need to settle up, make good, or accept some kind of leveller. It is hard to say more without a chart, El.

19. I love this article so much and the transit too! This my year of Nodal return? In my natal chart I have Taurus NN 🙂
    Tell me more!!!

    1. Nodes in Taurus/Scorpio reveal past lives spent with poverty and wealth, and in this lifetime you have returned to experience another level of the lessons, and also the rewards. You do this against a background of global economic karma from 1938 which is repeated right now. Europe is divided over Russia’s possible invasion of Ukraine. The Euro Zone hit an inflation record in December 2021, confirmed hours ago (as the nodes changed sign). So it really depends on where you live and work, which you don’t say, and where your work or money is. Japan is also drawn into this karmic replay of 1938. If these countries are directly involved in your finances or property situation, then what they have to settle, karmically, will also affect you too. This will be ongoing into 2023.

20. Morning Jessica, This is so relevant right now. Similar to an earlier post I also have my nodes in Scorpio-Taurus but reversed and was wondering of the relevance to my chart. You mentioned the end of old world capitalism- looking at delving into the share market in coming months PLUS renovating my house (in Australia- sadly our homes are also investments right). There is so much advice out there for finance and home renovations. It all has a price tag attached to it also. I hear your advice about seeking the guidance of an experienced professional and I feel it couldn’t be truer. While I am enjoying learning about a whole new world, deep within my solar plexus sits an energy of deep foreboding for bigger things I can’t yet name. Tread carefully indeed. I also have Uranus 01 Scorpio. Wondering if you could offer guidance as to how to negotiate and understand this relationship with Uranus and my nodes during these times? Referring to you advice from earlier, I am not partnered so don’t have anyone else to consider in my life budget. Blessings.

    1. Thank you. Yes, a great deal has happened in 48 hours. A third person (Vice-Chair Schwan) may be stepping down from Credit Suisse and Switzerland is now the venue for talks over the Ukraine. Australia is far away from this karma involving Europe and particularly neutral Switzerland, but we are close to Japan, and she is also pulled into the 1938 karma. Rising inflation in Japan just saw her exports and imports hit a record high. If you have Uranus at 1 Scorpio then you are over the Uranus-Uranus opposition, but you do need to watch the lunar nodes at 1 Scorpio-Taurus in June, July 2023. Jupiter will have passed 1 Taurus in May 2023 so if you do take the opportunity or solution of May, make sure you have the best advice you can afford, as the nodal opposition will pass over Uranus. This is a signal for an upheaval so you need to keep the stakes low and get professional insights then.

21. Hi Jessica, Interesting article as always. My ascendent is 29 Taurus and descendant 29 Scorpio. Any clues on what this means for me ? Thanks, Suzanne 

    1. If your birth time is clock-hand accurate, Suzanne, then your Taurus Ascendant and Scorpio Descendant are triggered right now, by karma going back to April, May and June 2003. The Ascendant is your profile, image or name. What people associate you with, no matter how you might feel about it. The Descendant is your other half. Your former, current or potential partner. So you appear to be very concerned with money, charity, business, valuables or finance (Taurus) and your partnerships are with lovers or business ‘other halves’ who are all about the property or money. Now, along comes the nodal transit and you have to settle up spiritually with your own past, either receiving or giving – perhaps repaying.

22. Hi Jessica, I find myself thinking about the past, 2003-5, I wonder if thats MercuryR and just the nodes returning?! My husband has been dreaming about his first work placement, April 2003! He passed probation August 2003, the nodes were back in the same place then? Its fascinating. I instinctively feel like I want to talk about those difficult years and leave the past behind. I don’t want to rerun those years, but with Jupiter conjunct Pisces (it wasn’t in 2003/2004) I feel positive about 2022/23. I have Uranus transiting Ceres, Saturn and then my IC all in Taurus with the nodes transiting in reverse, but also Jupiter/Sun and on through my 2nd and 3rd and over my Ceres in the 2nd 2023! Whilst Ceres transits my Uranus in the 8th! I’m trying to time selling our old home between now and 2024 which would potentially be life changing for me and my husband, but I cant weigh up which of these factors is key, they all seem to be ! I tried the flip books and tarot but I am feeling in a fog what to do and somewhat stuck.. perhaps that’s Neptune! You were right about financial shocks (as the nodes changed signs it was announced on the bbc UK inflation hit 5.4% and rising!) and then there is gas prices and the gas pipe/Ukraine/Putin situation. So whilst it may not mean war, financially the world will be in a similar economic space as 1938, is this what you mean in this article?

    1. Alison, we are being pulled backwards to 2003 and 2004 but also to 1938 as you’ve seen. Russia wants to annexe the Ukraine. Nazi Germany wanted to annexe Austria. The gas economy is at stake. Inflation is back just as it was in the Thirties. So Germany herself has a huge karmic question, but I think NATO and the European Union will be pulled into all of it. On a more personal level you are trying to sell your old home. Just be aware that you are doing so, with not just the nodes pulling people in opposite directions, but also Uranus (ongoing radical change) in Taurus as well. So you may need to be flexible enough to negotiate. You shouldn’t be in a fog about this. Just follow the rules with the Tarot and also the Garden Oracle and Astrology Oracle and you’ll see the same story told three times about 2022, and/or 2023, which validates your question. 2023-2024 is far more optimistic for the property market as Jupiter (abundance, solutions) goes into Taurus and of course will form conjunctions in your own Second House of money. Do ask the cards about those two years.

23. Hi Jessica, thanks for writing this piece on the Nodes in Taurus and Scorpio. I just cannot make out what this time will bring. I have my personal North Node in Scorpio @15 degrees and my South Node in Taurus @15 degrees. What does this mean for me?
    Any help you can provide would be appreciated! Thanks for all your work, I read your articles often!
    Best,
    Cynthia

    1. Thank you. In August and September, Cynthia, the True North Node goes to 15 Taurus bringing financial karma back from February 2004. This may have been a house, apartment, antique, painting, charity, business, share investment. You owe, or are owed, from that time and there will be a fated settlement. It may feel like the next chapter in a story. As you were actually born with the nodes in Taurus-Scorpio you may have a past life or family ancestry taking you to 1938 when Italy made the fated decision not to stand with the allies when Germany annexed Austria. The nodes show past lives. The circle has just turned in Italy on the exact day with Berlusconi announcing his run for leadership. Sometimes the global affects the personal.

24. Hi Jessica
    I have Saturn 29 Taurus. Is this both personal and collective for me. Quite nervous about it for some reason!!
    Best wishes Selina

    1. Yes it is personal and collective, Selina. It’s like the tsunami in Tonga. It made waves that reached our beach in Tasmania. The economy of Tonga will make waves in that region, extending to New Zealand. Uranus in Taurus until 2026 will eventually reach your Saturn in 2025, 2026 at the end of the cycle. So this is basically the world economy, which you cannot control, asking you to be so flexible with your house, bank account, apartment, possessions – that when you have to change, you can. You already had Uranus going over 2, 5 Taurus and through your money zone, so you know what to expect. Covid destabilised the economy. You had to adjust. Even if it was just giving up shopping or spending on restaurants. The idea now is to get yourself into a bendy position so you can bend and flex with the times. The cycle we are seeing now is the end of the French Monarchy under Queen Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI. It is the end of a system and a lot of banks, insurance companies and so on will be affected. Have wiggle room. You will find fantastic solutions and breakthroughs with Jupiter in Taurus in 2023-2024 too, but have wiggle room. A good advisor can help you.

25. Hi Jessica,

    Thank you for everything you share with us, all the posts and predictions are amazing and being a member of this site improved my life by discovering myself and other situations.
    Regarding this post, I have a lot of Scorpios factors such as: Sun at 04°, Mercury at 08°, Venus at 03°, Pluto at 17°, Diana at 00°, Bacchus at 15° and one Taurus factor Vesta at 27°. I would like to know how this nodes change will affect me and to be more precise in the aspect of settling somewhere or buying a home avoiding as much as possible a big financial burden?

    Best regards

    1. Thank you, I will pass that on to Alicia, Alyas, James, Jodi and Justin. The 0-27 degree bandwidth of your Scorpio-Taurus factors suggests you will spend most of 2022, 2023 sorting out the house, apartment, any rental space, your legacy, any legacy which names you, the bank, any shares, any business interests, charity commitments and so on. Uranus, the planet of all that is extremely unpredictable, constantly subject to change, volatile – is in Taurus until 2026 as well. So the background throughout is not like anything you have ever seen. The cycle began in 2018 with blockchain adopted by the banks and money laundering being made a crime in the United Kingdom, on humanitarian grounds. Those two events will shape the world economy by 2026. Covid will also shape the world economy. What you have to do is rethink your values. Scorpio is a fixed sign so you need to ‘unfix the fixed.’ If you used to spend a lot of money shopping in malls, that may stop. If you used to pursue charity a particular way, that may have to stop. It’s the same with what or who you put money into (and why). You will need to surf. Watch the waves, and meet them, and ride them. You may need the best financial advice you can afford to do this. There are no ‘safe bets’ any more so the best safe bet is your own self, and your own values, but as I said – you will need flexibility, space and wiggle room – so you can honour them. We are now in a cycle when some politicians see human life as spreadsheet accounting. That’s Uranus in Taurus, but also the nodes in Taurus-Scorpio, and we are going all the way back to 1938 when Hitler and Mussolini decided people were expendable. That is a really extreme example of what I am talking about, but with your own will/legacy and those of people who name you (like spouses or parents) you are going to see major questions about values. This will profoundly change you in 2022-2023 in particular as karma from about 18-19 years ago comes back.

26. Thank you so much for this post, Jessica.
    Can you tell me how this will affect me financially?

    Thank you!

    1. You will make or save a lot of money by May, then either capitalise on that from October-December, or have a new opportunity presented to you. Try to stash this away or invest it wisely on something that goes on returning/giving for at least 2023-2025. So, for example, if you sell an asset in 2022 and have cash to spare, you could put it back into your business, with your eye on the short-term future.

27. Hi Jessica,
    I don’t have the factors in either Taurus or Scorpio but I have a glut of factors in other signs that sit one degree either side. Does this still count for impact?
    I’ve been blessed beyond measure to be trusted into very wealthy families homes as part of my nannying job, however I’m working so hard for such little money and never seem to catch a break financially.
    I’m inspired by creative writing and am studying creative writing to hopefully kickstart and monetise a poetry account on Instagram. With my factors in my chart, does a financial break look likely for me soon? It’s the little things I want to do with my family (taking our first ever vacation) and hopefully buying my first house and a car at some point! Thus far, everything seems to continually evade me!
    Many thanks for all your hard work.

    1. You do have factors in Taurus and Scorpio, so perhaps go back and look at your chart.

28. Hi Jessica,

    Thanks for this post! I have a lot of Scorpio placements and I am a bit worried how they might affect me.

    Thanks for any insights!

    1. Yes, Scorpio factors from 4-29 degrees suggests a long couple of years, sorting out money, property, charity and/or business. Perhaps, valuables. Forces bigger than you are, act like the tides in these years, and you surf them. So, everything I predicted is coming to pass on the world stage. Switzerland has karma from 1938 because she stayed neutral during the war. Russia and America just met in Geneva, Switzerland. What happens if Russia invades Ukraine means a massive challenge for the German economy. So this is the Euro and the EU. And that is the whole world economy! Surfing is the right way to deal with the waves of change in 2022-2023. The issue for you will be a sexual partner and/or family member. Scorpio is about personal finance, with the focus on relationships. Your life budget should be flexible enough so that you can make changes. Buy or sell assets. Try not to borrow unless you absolutely have to. Uranus in Taurus in opposition is ‘the challenge to change’ so you need plenty of wiggle room, to switch course. You don’t say anything about your family life or marriage/relationships so it’s hard to be more than general. If single you could have a common-law marriage with a new sexual partner who has his own house, for example, and that would alter your old plans.

29. Hi Jessica, thank you for another great article on the nodes. I’m experiencing my nodal return in this cycle and have the North Node at 13 Taurus and South Node in 13 Scorpio. I also have Aesculapia at 29 Taurus, so I’m not sure how that factor will play out. My finances have been stable, but it’s a always been a source of anxiety for me, almost like I remember a past life of poverty and scarcity so I’m careful about saving and sticking to a budget.

    1. Saturn at 21 degrees on the Taurus-Scorpio axis and of course the lunar nodes at 13 degrees, tells the story. You’ve had a few lives of being rich and poor and have landed in the Twenties to ‘work’ with money and your relationship with houses, apartments, shopping, and what money cannot buy. You do have work to do in 2022, 2023. Aesculapia is the comeback. You have a history of going to the apparent end with financial arrangements, properties, even possessions, but miracles occur and everything comes back from the brink. This pattern is active now until January 30th. You can look that asteroid up in your flipbooks. In general, though, this is a Saturn/Node story so June, July 2023 when Uranus is in conjunction with your Saturn is ‘the challenge to change.’ Keep the stakes low if using that date on paperwork. You are saving and sticking to a budget, but you wouldn’t really want to be playing around with cryptocurrency if the sell date is June-July 2023 for example. Too risky. Money should not make you anxious. Put a price on peace of mind and pay it. Use the Tarot to help you. Those cards have an entire suit called Pentacles/Coins – just about finance. Even if these next two years are hard work, it can be good hard work, like good gardening. Productive and calming.

30. Hi Jessica

    Very useful article, thank you. Any particular advice for my retirement planning?

    Take care.

    1. Thank you. Mercury at 14 Scorpio describes your paperwork (Mercury) in relation to joint finances (Scorpio). Uranus in conjunction with Mercury at 14 Scorpio is imminent, as are the lunar nodes at 14 Scorpio and Taurus. So pre-planning is wise. The Sun at 4 Scorpio and Aesculapia at 10 Taurus tell the story too. The nodal transits which go 14, 10, 4 Taurus-Scorpio later on in the cycle suggest that by 2023 you need to have reshaped your life budget so that you can account for (quite literally) karma from 18-19 years ago. You may owe. You may be owed. This cycle is about the gap between your values and the values of, say, marriage partners or close relatives. It’s not easy. It’s hard work. Yet it feels right – to do the right thing – or to accept help, perhaps. This is far more than the usual financial paperwork or discussions with accountants, the bank and the rest. It has real weight, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically, so although you might normally only be looking at the practical side of retirement, your chart suggests you need to look at the ties that bind, and particularly some old karma, as the wheel turns. By 2024 it’s done. Jupiter ahead in Taurus suggests you will gain solutions or advantages, later.

31. I read in one of the replies to these comments that there is a direct Karmic relationship now to April-June 2003.
    As I recall that time in my life 2003 was amazing for me. Great career, great husband, kids, lots of money. I can’t even begin to imagine what I owe or what I am owed. I was doing very well at the company I was working for at that point. I did however, leave in 2009 on not such a good note. There was quite a bit of nepotism and I was cut out of the profit sharing. But that was 2009 .. not sure if that will come up at this time or another time? That is the only thing I can think of being owed. I know they are trying to sell the company now. We shall see. Prior to that in the 1984 era I was in HS. It was a bad time for me, God I hope nothing repeats from that time 🙁

    1. The lunar nodes don’t repeat what happened, they balance it out. You will realise what the karma was from 18-19 years ago once this cycle has kicked in. We only just went to 29 Taurus-Scorpio. A really good example is President Joe Biden and the United States of America, this week, taking on responsibility for handling the planned Russian invasion of Ukraine. Back in 1938 which was the last time we saw Uranus in Taurus and the nodes enter Taurus-Scorpio, America was not present when Hitler invaded Austria. So it’s seldom a repetition but always a way to make good/settle up karmically. You will have your own story.

32. I meant say also that I live in France.

33. hello Jessica, I have Proserpina at 10degrees Scorpio. I also have Saturn in Taurus opposite Jupiter in Scorpio, how does this all affect me?

    1. This is a classic inner conflict between your values and those of partners and/or family. It would have shown up in the past, so you may have lived with a lover who had a completely different attitude towards money, the house, the car, the apartment and so on. Or you may be in a family where your relatives’ values are different to your own (they are shopaholics, say, or spendthrifts and you are pretty lean and mean). These differences are more crucial on this cycle. Proserpina was the go-between in mythology. She went between her husband and her mother. You are go-between when it comes to family or partnership finance, property. This role will radically change as Uranus goes across 10 Scorpio. Later on the lunar nodes go to 10 Scorpio-Taurus and there is karma to be sorted out from 18-19 years ago. It takes a couple of years. You may be repaid or repay, perhaps literally, maybe spiritually.

34. Hi Jessica, There seems a “going down” theme is here:

    1. Is there a good probability that Russia invades Ukraine and Europe and U.S. goes to war over it now? You have been saying something is going to happen with Russia and Putin in recent months.

    2. The stock market in 2022 has been lower, will it continue going down? You have been saying it would be sometime in 2022, it seems like that maybe now?

    3. Is Nancy Pelosi really going to be collateral damage and going down? You have been saying that Trump and Republicans are going down, but can it be everyone across the board?

    Thanks again!

    1. The Pelosi issue is interesting because of the question about politicians and their shares. We are now in the last full year of Pluto in Capricorn and that always brings down individuals (plutocrats) but also systems. The last time we saw this was the end of British rule over America and the beginning of the end of the slave trade. King George III lost America, and was then replaced by his son, because of his mental health problems. Individual people but also the social structure/power structure of the time, usually goes. Vladimir Putin is really an issue for Germany, as the karma from 1938 is on the line. Germany has to decide, basically – and we will all be watching. The stock market is ultimately going to be a local issue, not a global one, and it will vary wildly from place to place. Gemini weather. I hope that helps.

35. Hi Jessica, I have the Sun in Taurus and Saturn in Scorpio with MC O degrees Taurus and IC 0 degrees Scorpio. I have a long history with Switzerland. Am Swiss by marriage (although divorced) and lived/worked there for over a decade. My daughter lives there and due to the fact that we have not seen each other in person for almost 2 years, I am relocating back to Switzerland in May after many years in Asia. I plan on developing my business there. Up to now, my business has been very successful with a corporate client base, but now I feel there is a need to reach out to the individual level as so many people tell me that they are burnt out and in need of guidance. I consult on helping people in companies identify their talents, understand their dominant motivational drives and create a structure/plan to set them up to succeed, while contributing to the Common Good. I use highly validated psychometric tools for this as well as some tools that we have developed in my own consultancy company. Your insights on the timeliness of this would be most appreciated.

    1. Saturn at 17 Scorpio in your Eighth House of joint finances is the one to watch. I doubt this will have much to do with Credit Suisse, Swiss banks or the Ukraine crisis unless you actually have interests there – and that is a matter for you. The nodes will be in conjunction with Saturn and in opposition as you go through this historic cycle, and Uranus (radical change) will also eventually oppose Saturn. You are also a Sun Taurus so your identity/image is bound up with your business, property, charity, values, life budget, economics and so on. This will be a defining period in your life when you become who you were always meant to be – it just hasn’t happened to you before. So it’s not really about the move back to Switzerland or even the business there, as much as it’s about reshaping your own ideas about who/what is precious to the point of being priceless, and also rethinking what you will actually negotiate over, in terms of your bottom line. This is in both charts I use for you, as in your solar chart you have a steady stream of Gemini weather (ending in a revolution from 2025/2026) and that’s really your life budget as a whole. Now, in 2022 and 2023 you have Uranus and the nodes triggering that Eighth House pattern, which is as much about your former husband, as it is about your daughter. Perhaps, a new partner. The Eighth House rules sex, death and money (to put it impolitely) so marriage/mortgage but also any legacy which names you, as well as the legacy you make. Saturn there suggests a lifetime of cautious structuring and tremendous walls going up – a drawbridge really – and now you have some karma from 18-19 years ago returning, which means you have to ponder the architecture and figure out what, if anything, needs to change. I suspect that change will come anyway, as Uranus is really the harbinger of quite radical new beginnings and you may want to give yourself as much wiggle room as possible so that when it is time to let go and leave the past behind, you can do that. Try not to lock yourself down with too many non-negotiable arrangements, with property, finance, business, charity.

36. Thank you for your reply, Jessica! Your site & advice has always been so helpful & helped me get through a lot of rough times.

37. Hallo Jessica,
    ich habe Sonne, Venus und Vesta im Sier und Neptun im Skorpion. Uranus hat mir seit 2018 bereits viele Veränderungen aufgezwungen. Ich habe nun im letzten Jahr ein Buch geschrieben, das meine Erfahrungen zusammenfasst. Ich wäre dankbar für Ihre Einschätzung dazu, ob ich damit dieses Jahr Erfolg haben könnte und eine Veröffentlichung des Buches über einen Verlag möglich sein könnte. Ich lebe in Deutschland.

    1. Hmm, well I can see Sun, Venus and Vesta, and Neptune in Scorpio in my very poor German. I can also see Uranus and then I’m afraid the rest is a mystery to me. Unfortunately I don’t have automatic translation on this website. Thank you.

38. Dear Jessica.
    Since your predictions about the presidency (USA) and Tesla I have been an avid fan. March 3, 2020 is looking pretty interesting with three planets (Pluto, Mars and Venus) conjunct at 27 degrees of Capricorn. They will all be conjunct my vertex and trine my Saturn and midheaven. At the same time my progressed Ascendant will be moving from my 2nd to 3rd house at 29 degrees and almost conjunct my part of fortune. Should I hide or play the lottery? Regards Vie

    1. Thank you Vie. Yes, it was too much fun predicting Donald Trump would go down in October when I had swarms of Trump fans all telling me the opposite! And of course, Joe Biden was written in the stars many years ago, on this website. I don’t use the vertex or progressions, and I don’t use the Part of Fortune either, but I can scan your chart and see you are strongly Cancer-Virgo so ‘live’ in your Fourth House and Sixth House. By 2026, a cycle which began in 2018 will permanently alter your lifestyle, your approach to your home (and your garden if you have one) and your housework, paid work, unpaid work or academic career. This is undoubtedly a pandemic choice to work from home if you have not already pursued that. Have a look at Cancer/Fourth House and Virgo/Sixth House in your flipbooks and on this website, as it’s at the heart of your personality and destiny. When Jupiter goes into Taurus, in the near future, you will love what happens to your lifestyle with some terrific choices about how to live/how to work. As always, your health and wellbeing will need to be your absolute priority then.

39. Hi Jessica

    My Moon is at 10 degrees Taurus/7th house. Could you say what sort of effect the Nodes might have

    When Pluto arrives at 29 degrees Capricorn it will square my 29 degree Libran Sun, which is conjunct my 0 degrees Scorpio. I have a 4 degree Scorpio ascendant — but before then Pluto will be crossing my North Node at 28 degrees Capricorn ( third house).

    I’m fascinated to see what changes are coming my way!! D.O.B 23 October 1953 – 7.15am UK

    1. I use a different house system (Natural Houses) and your Moon is in the Second House at 10 Taurus. You need to be needed, financially, or tend to nurture, protect and ‘mother’ others with your possessions, charity, business interests, house, apartment and so on. This way of life is challenged, and forever changed, as Uranus at 10 Taurus forms a conjunction with your natal Moon. It will happen very suddenly if it has not already done so. Later on, the nodes go across 10 Taurus/Scorpio and by 2023, life as it was 18-19 years ago will catch up with you karmically. Pluto square the Sun is not a big deal – it’s just about what you cannot square, in terms of your duet or duel. The Ascendant is also not a big deal. It’s just your image. The Pluto transit over your lunar nodes in Cancer-Capricorn (Fourth House/Tenth House) certainly is worth a lot of work, though. This will involve both your home and family, perhaps your home town and homeland, at the same time that it involves your career, status and place in the world. The trick then is to use willpower to become empowered and self-control to gain control.

40. Hi Jessica, I am retired and are relying financially quite a bit on the stock market. I am now in the process of restructuring and reducing my involvements. I have South Node in Taurus (7 degr.)North in Scorpio and planets in Scorpio – in Taurus only Aesculapia at 29 degr. Any advice on timing where extra caution is needed?
    Also, plans in the family to relocate part of the year from Sweden to warmer climate within Europé – any signs of that in my chart?

    1. The chart factors at 4 through 7 degrees in your chart, along the Taurus-Scorpio axis of finance, have already been well and truly triggered by transiting Uranus at 4, 5, 6, 7 Taurus. So you are actually past one of the most disruptive transits of your life, and if you or yours are in Europe, I do not need to explain why. Where do we begin with the impact of COVID-19 on your budget, let alone shopping, business, retail, property prices, salary structures and the rest? At 14, 18 and 29 degrees, though, the pattern continues and Uranus will continue to challenge you to change, all the way through to 2025/2026 so give yourself a good four or five years to keep on restructuring. The idea of reducing involvements is wise. Uranus is an astrological symbol of upheaval and disruption, usually for perfectly good reasons, though it can take great insight to step back and see that, sometimes. Nothing is ever the same again and entire systems tend to be flipped, no matter if it’s taxation or business. That naturally affects everything, so you are quite right to want to get yourself into a highly flexible position where you can quickly react to what is going on. The other transit you are going through in 2022, 2023 quite apart from Uranus, is the lunar node cycle, which of course brings karma back from life as it was about 18-19 years ago and you will have to balance the books, spiritually, although it may be translated into purely financial terms. Step back from what goes on over the next couple of years and you may see that someone else is acting out what you once did. That’s pretty common. You will be happy with family and property outcomes May-October 2022 and early 2023, although you have a whopping Sagittarius stellium (foreign travel) about to be hit by Gemini transits over many years, so be savvy about the realities of flying between one country and another. That entire system is being taken apart, most radically from 2026, when Uranus goes into Gemini. If the relocation depends on flying the way you used to, you need to know, that is already being dismantled from February 2022 and extremely so, by the first quarter of 2023. Some airlines will obviously go to the wall.

41. Dear Jessica,
    I am divorced and I have to boys that live with me, but I have now had to send my teenage boy to live with his fatter because he has so much anger towards me and his younger brother( very physical anger) His birthdate is 17.01.07. I can see that I have some of the factors you mention in my chart, Taurus 29 degees.
    My heart is bleeding and all I want is to be able to work tings out with my son, but dialog seems impossible now.
    Can you give me some insight into if this will be possible to solve and when it can be possible to solve?

    1. You are strongly Cancerian and ‘live’ in your Fourth House of family and home, so this must be very hard for you to deal with. I am sorry you are going through it. The good news is, it doesn’t last. There is this cycle called a Pluto opposition, that you have been going through for quite a long time, and are still wearing – but it is over from March 2023 and history by 2024. Basically transiting Pluto in Capricorn opposes, or clashes with, the factors you have in Cancer, which is the caring sign of motherhood and a protective home life. It can only happen every 248 years or so, and you have been seeing it with your son, particularly because of his attitude towards his brother. These things take time but it does work out and believe it or not, from 2024 you will no longer be thinking about it, or feeling all the emotions. Your Capricorn son will find solutions with yourself, his brother, his dad and the whole question of the family/his home life from May-October and again in the first quarter of 2023 which will help him a lot. In fact you did the right thing sending him to his father. His dad may be his mentor, guide and tutor in 2022, 2023 or actually he may find another older man (teacher, uncle, sports coach and so on) who can steer him. This will be the making of him.

42. Thank you Jessica, this is fantastic! I live in Australia, will I be affected by this? I have a lot in Taurus and Scorpio and have invested quite a bit (super) in the stock market. Is Australia due for some Karma? I am fascinated and not sure to be nervous or excited by how this will play out.

    1. Thank you. Your patterns along the 21-28 degree axis of Taurus-Scorpio, suggest 2022 is karmic in nature, taking you back to life as it was 18-19 years ago, as the lunar nodes go backwards and move 28, 27, 26 all the way back to 21, 20. This is also a life lived backwards and you may have to reckon up, spiritually, with other people or the world at large. You may owe, or be owed, on some level and it is usually pretty clear to you. Australia will not be immune to the patterns we are seeing. The 1938 karma is really Germany’s and Switzerland’s (neutral Switzerland is already facing a huge moral test over Russia) but Down Under will be swept into stock market patterns which will challenge us all to make changes. The very late degree patterns you have in those two fixed signs, Taurus and Scorpio, suggest that Uranus going along 21-28 Taurus will absolutely require extreme flexibility and the ability to meet change, with change. It will take a while for you to reach that stage in the cycle, but as you go towards the mid 2020’s it would be prudent to look at the reality of some old arrangements you have made (superannuation) and how relevant they are to a rapidly changing planet by 2026. If you think about how the Australian economy has turned upside-down since 2018, radically so in 2020-2021, that should give you an idea of just how quickly you need to think. Your values (what you refuse to sell your soul for, who or what you consider to be priceless) will very likely alter course over the next few years and that’s common with this transit. Giving yourself a lot of wiggle room with big decisions about money is a smart idea. Uranus liberates. Despite the upheaval it sets you free from an old way of using money, or even being used by money, and that’s priceless to you by 2026, despite the lack of certainty and security that you would probably prefer.

43. Hi Jessica, Thank you very much for the article. Very interesting read. I have Uranus and Fortuna in Scorpio along with Chiron in Taurus. You mention the property and share market getting turned upside down. Do you see this effecting me?

    1. Yes, by 2026 your known financial, shopping, property, charity and business world will have turned upside-down. Taurus-Scorpio in your chart is about your life budget, so that’s intensely personal. You know what/who is valuable to you. You also know your value system. What was in place before 2018 is already looking like ancient history and that is set to continue over the next five years or so. The 22, 25, 26 degree patterns suggest that in 2022 you have to answer to life as it was 18-19 years ago as the nodes go over those degrees. They go backwards, and so does time, this year, with a fair amount of spiritual bookkeeping to be done. You will reckon up, or settle up, and probably recognise what is going on. The fact that your placements are so close together always suggests ‘it never rains but it pours’ with your bank account, house, apartment, and the rest. A great deal happens very quickly in a short space of time, with that pattern, and that will be the case in 2022, but again as Uranus in transits goes towards the end of the cycle (he’s gone by 2026) and triggers that in your chart. As you approach the mid-Twenties try to minimise the debt in your life if you possibly can, and be quite conscious of who/what keeps you small, limits you or confines you. Really step back and see what is there. It may be a business arrangement which you never question, yet are suddenly aware is inhibiting your potential cash flow, and thus inhibiting what you do with your life. Or, it can (very commonly) be a sexual relationship with a residence thrown in, that you feel ties you down. The key to this transit is first of all to realise karma from the past needs sorting out, either with the universe or other people – but also that Uranus in transit is disruptive, sudden and requires extreme flexibility, so you can zig-zag when you have to. Stay light on your feet financially and most of all, before you even get to the mid 2020’s, really look at your life budget and liberate yourself from who/what you realise is boxing you in or fencing you in.

44. Wow Jessica! You have brought a ton of clarity to my situation. So much to process but totally on point! Thank you so much for your great work. BTW, your blog is a real eye-opener on world events. I regularly read about these events on a wide variety of media platforms but always refer back to you for those key insights and I share those insights with friends and family. Warm wishes, Emma.

    1. Thank you Emma. Happy Lunar New Year.

45. Hi Jessica, thank you so much for the post. I’ve just discovered this blog today and love your knowledge. So I’ve got Mars in taurus at 10* and Lilith in Scorpio at 29*. I have no idea what to make of this?

    1. Thank you. Ignore Lilith, she’s not part of the Roman/Latin family tree of astrology. Mars at 10 Taurus describes someone who attacks priorities with finance, charity, business, property. You get stuck in. Uranus going over 10 Taurus triggers that, but unless you want real disruption, you will slow down and cool down. A Head Full of Steam is a good Go-Betweens song but not really a good solution for this cycle. You are already long enough into this cycle in your Second House (since May 2018) that your known world has turned upside-down – with shopping, your usual budget, questions about the value of particular work arrangements, business agreements and the like. It goes on. Eventually the nodes will reach 10 Taurus-Scorpio and you will have a karmic decision to make. It’s hard to say more without seeing your chart, but in general, life as it was 18-19 years ago requires karmic settlement. Not now, but later. You are owed, perhaps, or you owe.

46. Thanks Jessica for a very informative article. Any words of wisdom for someone with both Saturn and Pluto in Scorpio ?

    1. Thank you. Saturn at 10 and Pluto at 0 along the Scorpio-Taurus axis suggest a couple of things. Firstly, you are halfway there with the disruptive, liberating Uranus transit of Taurus. Uranus passed 0 Taurus back in 2018. However, you are still in the zone for oppositions from Uranus to natal Saturn, and later on, the North Node and South Node along the Scorpio-Taurus axis will swing past, going backwards from 10 to 0 degrees. Robert Hand used to talk about clearing the decks (Planets in Transit) and that’s good advice. Try to keep life very simple with money, property, valuables, business, charity. The less you complicate your life with financially, the less you have to sort out. Uranus in transit opposite natal Saturn tends to be the ‘challenge to change’ so at the very least try to keep the amounts low. The nodal transit takes you backwards in time, as you have seen, towards life as it was 18-19 years ago, or even further back. So, you owe, or you are owed. That spiritual account needs to be settled. Saturn and Pluto in Scorpio in the Eighth House are about sex, death and money. So, the items in your will. Any house or apartment (say) shared with a sexual partner. Any post-separation or post-divorce obligation. Any legacy which names you, made out by (say) a parent. You need control here. You also have quite justifiable concerns about shielding yourself and protecting yourself, so you tend to structure your life here and build walls. In goes the drawbridge and in goes the moat. Yet – along comes this cycle, which asks you to question just about everything and make alterations, if necessary.

47. Thanks Jessica. So not the best idea to start playing the markets then : ) . This actually made me go back and check the Uranus in Taurus transit dates and I just realized that we moved into our new house and welcomed our first child right about the times of the Uranus transits of 0 degrees Taurus (so opposite natal pluto).

    1. If you had your baby and moved into a house in May, June 2018 or the other transits (October, November 2019 or March, April 2019) with Uranus at 0 Taurus opposite natal Pluto at 0 Scorpio, that would fit your chart. Jupiter (opportunity, expansion, growth) moved through Scorpio and Sagittarius then, picking up your Eighth House of sexual/financial relationships and then your Ninth House of relocation. You do need to be aware of the nodes across 0 Taurus-Scorpio in July 2023 as there are big decisions to make, likely about your child, your life budget, the property and so on. There would be a direct connection.

48. Hallo Jessica, I have some faktors in Taurus and Scorpio. Can you please take a look on it? I have had some diffuculties since 2018. I got loss of my work with children which I did twenty years long and I changed my living place in germany. Now I wrote a book and my wish is to get a publisher. It would be so nice, if you could tell me, if there ist a chance and good time for it. Thank you very much!

    1. Thank you for writing in English, I know it is not your first language. You are strongly Virgo and ‘live’ in your Sixth House of health, wellbeing, fitness, service, duty, housework, paid work, unpaid work, the daily routine, lifestyle, mental health, wellness and the small details of everyday existence. So, being vegetarian and practising yoga, or at the other extreme, having issues with your health which prevent you from working. The Sixth House is about your academic career as well. You will be pleased to know that Mercury the messenger rules Virgo, if you were not already aware of that, so you were born to work with words. Over the next few years you will find your whole working life changes in your favour, as your Sixth House regularly receives sextiles and trines from transits in Scorpio, Capricorn, Taurus, Cancer as the Moon passes through those signs and immediately creates terrific patterns with the North Node in Taurus, South Node in Scorpio, Uranus in Taurus, Pluto in Capricorn. Don’t worry so much about your Taurus-Scorpio natal placements but do look at your Virgo side and your Virgo and Sixth House factors as these are the key to your chart. When Jupiter goes into Taurus 2023-2024 you will really enjoy the shift in your working life, lifestyle and also your wellbeing as this is a rare opportunity to turn things around. It may very well involve your way with words, writing, scriptwriting, speechwriting, podcasting and so on. A book is not the end of the story.

49. Hey Jessica, thank you for your care & wisdom. This will be my nodal return(NN 9th house & SS 3rd house) & I’m really looking forward to amazing developments. 2003-2004 (last nodal return) I finished High School and went to College. This time around I am finishing my Diploma in the same field & will be starting my in service training/perhaps permanent employment in this profession I pray. On the recent inverse nodal return I entered a serious committed relationship with someone who works in broadcasting(North Node in 3rd house, his 1st house). Here’s hoping for good news and happy developments all around(the merry go round) with this nodal return. I thank you once again.

    1. Thank you. The nodal return is in your Second House and Eighth House using the Natural House System. So, salary, income, debts, rent, mortgage. It’s karma from 18-19 years ago for you in 2022, 2023 so the question of funding college, looking for a salary, will be back, along with how to have a sexual relationship when there are bills to be paid and a budget to be shared. The nodes are about settling the karmic balance sheet and being paid, repaid on some level – or perhaps repaying. I suspect the man who worked in broadcasting will symbolically or thematically play a part, this time around.

50. Hello Jessica,

    Maybe this question has been already asked, but I wanted to know how with this effect Taurus and Scorpio Sun/Rising signs? I only ask because I have a 1 degree Taurus Sun. The most recent Taurus/Scorpio nodes, I eloped (December 28th, 2004) towards the end of it and moved to a different country…..granted I’m divorced now. (Possibly) looking at my chart, what do you predict that’ll happen this time around for me? I’m awfully curious.

    Thanks Jessica!

    1. Thank you. The Rising Sign or Ascendant is so unimportant in the astrological chart. It is about your appearance, image, profile and whom you take after (mother’s side or father’s side) in looks. It’s about being tall or short, overweight or underweight and so on. You have a Taurus stellium so ‘live’ in your Second House of finance, valuables, property, charity, business – but also in Aquarius – so also ‘live’ in a world of friends, groups, allies and social media like Twitter. Those two facts are more important than anything else as you go into the Taurus/Aquarius transits in 2022 and the years to follow. As a general rule try to avoid mixing money with friendship. Or assets with the group. It may be hard to square one with the other, as the years roll by. For example, Pozible or other crowdfunding. Or renting a home to a friend. If you do pursue that, get professional expertise before you sign anything.

51. Wow! I have a stallion in Taurus? I always thought it was in Virgo or Leo because I have so many birth planets in those signs. You also think I have one in Aquarius? I swear, my chart is so weird! I will make a big note to not mix money with friendship. Thanks Jessica!

    1. I’d love to have a stallion in Taurus. I think Mercury Retrograde triggered a typing error, there. But thank you.

52. Hi Jessica, thank you for your interesting and valuable article!
    I have my Sun at 15 °Scorpio, North Node at 9° in Taurus, South Node at 9° Scorpio, Jupiter at 9° in Aquarius and Saturn at 28° in Scorpio. Which period will be the most difficult/challenging in the coming years and in which part of my life? I had a horrible period which started on 08 October 2020 until end of December 2020. Can it be worse than that period? (Better to know in advance and be prepared).
    I bought a house in February 2021, it needs to be renovated but nothing has been really progressing during 1 year as I am 100% dependant on people and the permit from the municipality. I have been very patient but now I am worried that the financial system will collapse before I had the opportunity to invest my money in the renovation. Demolishing and reconstruction/renovation should start (slowly) by mid Feburary. What do the stars tell us?
    Thank you so much !
    P.S.: your previous advice on your website that we should consider any possibilities for housing (renting, house swap, etc…) was so true, I found myself in an unusual/non-traditional situation I would have never imagined! As I had to sell my flat, but could not move in the house, a friend of mine allowed me to use (for a few months) his office which I transformed into a tiny studio. You were so right!

    1. Thank you. You are strongly Scorpio and ‘live’ in your Eighth House of joint finance and property, business, valuables and charity. I am glad the astrology helped you with non-traditional housing. You will probably, ultimately, gain a new sexual and financial partner, or go into a more committed phase with a current one, in terms of property. I think you could say no, but by 2024-2025 you would be tempted to say yes. That will change everything. So stay open to what or who comes, but the Eighth House is always about family or partnership money/benefits/assets and that is where this is going. You need to renovate sooner but worry about the banks and currency. You need a permit. You will also need patience as in both chart systems I use for you, we find Ceres and Mars Retrograde (prolonged deal-making and compromise) in Gemini in your solar Eighth House of joint finance an in your natal chart, the South Node in Scorpio in your Eighth House too (karma). You will sort this out, but it will require more time and energy than you had perhaps allowed for. The house itself, or a subsequent house/apartment, becomes so much more than that from 2023, as it becomes a symbol of your personal power, influence, control: that is why you should renovate, purchase or sell with tremendous care in terms of research and homework, as your chart suggests this is all so much more than just a property to you. Looking far ahead, this applies strongly to two names on a lease, mortgage and so on. Get outside advice from 2023.

53. Hi Jessica
    Could you please tell me how this cycle will impact me from a financial standpoint?
    Thank you

    1. 16, 17, 20, 27 degree patterns in Taurus-Scorpio suggest quite a long budget reshape, as the nodes will reach 27 in 2022, and then go backwards, while Uranus (the revolution) continues to 27 degrees all the way until the mid 2020’s. So this is a reversal of what you used to do, in terms of shopping, donating money to charity, fundraising for charity, collecting a salary or other income, seeing property prices change and so on. The idea is not to hang on to what you once did or knew. The faster you can let that go, the better off you will be – until 2025/2026.

54. Thank you for this beautiful article Jessica!
    I have Mars, Pluto Juno and Vulcano in Scorpio.
    Last month has been very challenging from practically all angles.
    Don’t know if it has to do with this nodal switch,or something else, anyhow, if possible I would like to know what to expect from those nodes, considering my chart.
    Thanks

    1. You are strongly Aquarian, have a stellium in Aquarius in your Eleventh House of friends and groups, and are currently living with Saturn in Aquarius, ahead of some major transits there in March, April. I can see why just about every other angle of life would be challenging, too, as the lunar nodes going into Scorpio/Taurus automatically sets up what are called T-Squares in astrology. T stands for tight and tense – so you have to adapt and adjust, especially financially, or with property. A good basic rule for 2022 and beyond is not to mix friends and money, or groups and finance. You could do it, but you would be very stretched, and may ultimately decide it was never worth it. In general, the nodal cycle of 2022, 2023 is tough for everyone as billions are affected by 1938 karma, which you can now see with Ukraine and Russia, America and Europe. It doesn’t matter which way this goes, the world economy will be affected and that affects you, similarly. So if you have to change your life budget, so be it. You are very fixed (Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, Leo are fixed signs) and dislike change but the more rapidly you can change, the better. It may be something as basic as food/expenses/shopping. By 2023 it will probably be a far larger question about who and what you value most, but the cycle is relatively short and later on, you can rethink your life budget again.

55. Hi, Jessica -,

    I have:Diana 10° taurus – Taurus 09′ 58″ R and fortuna – 12° taurus – Taurus 41′ 10
    Psyche 20° scorpio – Scorpio 27′ 20″
    My son will be leaving for college in August. I have talked to my girlfriend about moving in with me then to pool our money, save and possibly find a house. My rent is astronomical right now and the housing market in Austin, Tx is outrageous with so many moving here from California and Elon Musk bringing Tesla. She is a Cancer who just fell into a Start up and and got a 40% increase. I’m looking for another job and have been sending out resumes. Always appreciate your perspective and predictions! So on point! Thanks!

    1. You are a strongly Taurus-Scorpio Virgo who will make or save a lot of money May through October, and again January through May 2023. Your solar chart shows Jupiter (luck, abundant solutions) in your solar Eighth House in Aries, at that time. Meanwhile in your natal chart we find the South Node in Scorpio, also in your Eighth House. It really depends on your girlfriend’s chart, which isn’t here, but even if you have to compromise, and agree to disagree, over joint finances (either with her or another) in 2022, 2023, you will still make or save money. It’s a stretch, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, but perhaps you feel that is a price worth paying to avoid high rent and possibly gain the huge advantage of a house, as Austin is obviously not what it once was, in property terms. You should both get outside advice if you make the leap and get it in writing – read the fine print.

56. Hi Jessica, Leo man surgeon Pisces women artist. Thoughts on this unusual rebound relationship. (Seem to be still grieving the Aries father of my child and have impaired judgment) Any help welcome. Have been doing your oracle cards non stop

    1. You are strongly Libra with an exact opposition at 17 degrees to Aries factors. It’s a Seventh House (partnership, marriage, sexual relationship) chart. You live there. However you are always pulled in the other direction by your Aries, First House opposition. The tension is within you about being with someone, as opposed to promoting yourself as a separate person and being, likely, the artist who wants to put herself in the work and also be known for the work. It would be a mistake to project any mixed feelings in yourself, onto any particular man. You need to figure out Libra-Aries on the inside. And yes, the cards will help you with that. Libra/Seventh House is also about duels as well as duets. So you find yourself in a two-way conflict. Again this is not the other person so much, although you may fall in love with men who can generate the battle. It’s really within. You will find it interesting to sort out the Libra-Aries clash within. The ram versus the scales.

57. Dear Jessica – firstly & most importantly thank you for being so gracious & taking the time to answer all the questions from members. I look forward to reading your blogs they are just so accurate! I think I am in for a big year looking at my chart – sun – 17 Taurus; Moon – 22 Scorpio; Saturn – 22 Aquarius; MC – 29 Taurus; IC – 29 Scorpio & Aesculapia – 21 Taurus. I wonder if I could trouble you to interpret this? I have had 4 really difficult years & last year sold my home (having lived there for 23 years) during Sydney’s boom put the money in the bank & am now renting whilst I wait to see what happens with the economy. I have also negotiated with my employer to go down to a 4 day working week! So I feel like I am changing everything – exciting but exhausting! Any guidance you can give would be so gratefully received – not sure if I am up for any more disappointments or upsets given the last 4 years . Many thanks again best wishes Toni

    1. Thank you. You are strongly Aries and will relaunch, rebrand, restart once Jupiter goes into Aries May-October and again January-May 2023, to your total advantage. This will likely be a new look, perhaps a new title, certainly a new online presence and profile. Your Taurus-Scorpio patterns across the Second House and Eighth House of property, money, salary, the bank were bound to show up as quite radical change since Uranus (the revolution) went into Taurus in 2018. You are now there. The four-day week is a very smart idea and a good use of these transits. Toni, you are going to find 2022 and 2023 hard work, but you will ultimately make or save quite a lot of money when Jupiter goes into Taurus (Jupiter is abundant solutions, largesse and broad win-win outcomes) once he’s helped you relaunch your image in 2022, 2023. So by 2024 you will be pleased you put in the research. What research? Well, with a chart like that you make it your business to be ahead of business and financial trends. You will reevaluate your life budget in 2022, 2023 right down to rethinking your legacy, actually. Enjoy the personal rebranding/reboot.

58. Thank you very much. I am extremely pleased with your answer. It is very accurate and the starting point fully applies to my situation. I am only beginning with astrology and am very happy to hear from you that mercury in virgo concerns the work with words.

59. Hi Jessica, I’m lucky to be able to read all your articles, thank you very much for your dedication, I learn a lot. I have many planets in Taurus in the 9th house but in the case of natural houses I don’t know how to interpret it. I have no partner or children. I’m working on all these aspects and on my vocation, I want to launch two projects, but they haven’t seen the light of day yet because I’m about to get certified in phytotherapy and others, I’m doing the final project. (By the way, I loved the Garden Oracle, it’s wonderful!). I am putting all my effort into several areas (perhaps too many, I don’t want to be scattered) to achieve a change in my life, an almost total renovation. I wanted to ask you where I should put the focus mainly in this weather. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    1. Thank you. You are a Sun Gemini with a stellium in Taurus. That stellium is in your Second House of finance, charity, values, business, valuables and property. The urge to change is natural; Uranus (revolution, freedom, independence) is in Taurus until 2026. Altering your way of life, shopping, perhaps food, spending/not spending, any business interests is pretty normal on this cycle and it will continue. You could actually make or save quite a lot of money once Jupiter goes into Taurus, but get through 2022 and 2023 first. The story is overwhelmingly financial as in both charts I use for you, you have Pluto in the Eighth House of joint money/property until 2023 (solar chart) and in your natal chart we find the South Node in your Eighth House, in the same time-frame. So this is about any legacy which names you, but also the items you put in your own legacy to others. Have a look at Second House/Eighth House in your flipbooks and on Search. It is where the story is, 2022, 2023.

60. Hi Jessica,

    Hoping you can provide info on how this will affect my finances and when would be a good time to buy a home in the Midwest of the USA?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. You are a Sun Taurus with a stellium in Taurus, so you are waiting for Jupiter to go into Taurus, May 2023 to May 2024. That is the astrological timing. You will make or save a lot of money in that period so presumably this is tied to a house, land or apartment for you. Time will tell if it is the Midwest, but as this is your decision not mine, validate that timing and your choices with your own Tarot/Oracle readings.

61. Dear Jessica,
    Thanks for a fascinating article and all the generous comment replies above. I believe, still learning, that my natal North node at 19 Taurus, and natal 19 degrees South node in Scorpio, conjunct Neptune will be activated in the coming months? Since the start of the pandemic, I’ve started online education biz at home, which is so unexpectedly rewarding with a lot of emphasis on sharing with others values and philosophy for living well and thinking about planetary wellbeing and social justice. I’m not sure how to read the Taurus and Scorpio nodes transiting my natal nodes – is it a positive or negative situation? I love learning and the arts and it’s all wrapped up with a deep concern, spiritual awareness and gratitude for nature.

    1. Thank you. You are a Sun Virgo with the nodes at 19 Taurus/Scorpio. Online education will work well for years, until 2026, and in fact you could continue with the new technology and language translation from 2026 beyond 2030. You have your nodal return in July 2022 with transits across 19 Taurus-Scorpio for the first time in about 18-19 years and what happens then will owe a lot to that time in your life. December 2003, January 2004 may have been the end of one income phase and start of another and there is karma from that time. You will make or save a lot of money May-October 2022 and January-May 2023 so you are ‘owed’ karmically and will receive.

62. Thank you for that Jessica! That explains a lot x

63. Hi Jessica, Just joined and love your site!

    I have had a very hard time since October 2014. No matter what I did, nothing worked out. However, I finally got a new job in October 2021; and thought a new cycle was kicking in, but I have already found this job full of deception, etc. I am also getting requests to interview for other positions. Not sure what to expect for 2022 – any insight is appreciated!

    1. You are a Capricorn and so live in your Tenth House of career, ambition, success and status. This Pluto transit in Capricorn is a big ask, and you have already discovered the politics. You were born with Venus at 27 Capricorn and he is at 27 Capricorn in February. This can only happen every 248 years or so. You are being asked to interview for other jobs which also fits the transits. Be really careful that you are not being dominated, taken over or controlled (even if it is not obvious) by your current staff/colleagues/employers or those in the next position. Pluto people and Pluto organisations tend to be male, and prefer the upper hand. Your Venus is probably involved, so you would feel sexual attraction, or be aware that you are being cast in a very old-fashioned female role. This may even be the issue where you are now. Run like mad, from any sexual/professional crossover in 2022, 2023 as you really don’t want to have Pluto on your case, with Venus there. If you do switch, read the paperwork with a magnifying glass but also read the room. Read online feedback and ask around. Awareness is everything in astrology; you can’t stop a Pluto conjunction to natal Venus, but you can lower the stakes so that you are empowered by the all-powerful person or organisation, rather than feel utterly dominated. The Tarot can help with more detail for you.

64. Hi Jessica, thank you for your brilliant work, it is very enlightening. I am a Sun Sagittarius with Neptune in Sagittarius and a crowded 10th house (Mercury 29° Scorpio, Venus 06° Scorpio, Mars 09° Scorpio, Juno 22° Scorpio, Ceres 10° Scorpio, Bacchus 27° Scorpio, Cupido 24° Scorpio, Psyche 02°Scorpio) with no factors in Taurus. I am quite unhappy as I don’t like my job or my salary. I have worked in real estate all my life but have been stuck since 2019 when I returned to my home country and left a job in Ireland that fulfilled me. I am now looking to relocate to Ireland, as Spain no longer feels like home, but I would have to travel regularly between the two countries for 3 years until my teenage children (Sagittarius) and my husband (Libra) could join me. You mentioned that international travel will be greatly affected, and I’m not sure the two countries can be considered “neighbours”. I am also concerned about the impact my decision to work in Ireland will have on my family. Am I on the right path? Any particular advice? I have tried the Tarot and the Garden Oracle, but I am still confused. Thanks for any insights!

    1. Thank you. You have the Gemini-Cancer patterns of a real-estate agent but are also hugely Scorpio. You have your Sun in Sagittarius and so in both charts I use for you, the same message is there. If you go back to the Tarot and Garden Oracle and follow the rules and steps from the beginning you will have validation for the astrology, which suggests commuting Ireland-Spain is unwise over the long-term as it is part of the Gemini pushback (local not foreign) coming from 2022 and a way of life from 2026. Uranus in Gemini will oppose the Sagittarius placements of billions of people who were used to globalisation as a way of life before, but now find it is constantly challenged, partly because of airline collapse. If you don’t like your job or salary, that figures, and in fact you will have one chance after another to work in a totally different field by 2026. Think outside the box. You are boxing yourself in here with one answer and it’s not really working with your chart. Again, the Tarot will talk to you, if you ask the right questions. The situation with your husband, on a financial level, will be sorted out for some time to come in 2022 and 2023. If you are rewriting paperwork between you, then of course you’ll get the best objective professional advice available.

65. Hi Jessica
    I am wondering if this will apply to my Sun and Saturn in Taurus , whilst I am grateful to have a steady job I have been in the medical field for 2 decades ,but I feel its time to change ,I was recently made aware of a different field that is lookin for applicants between 31st of January to the 10th of February , I also have completed studies in this area whilst it not medical it still has strong links to medical ,as I said I dont want to sound ungrateful as I know there are many people out there who have lost their jobs ,but if I am starting to feel burnt out ,and financially this other field is also a better option ,would the Taurus aspects be favorable in this area ?

    & thankyou for what you do

    1. You are a Sun Taurus with transits in your Tenth House of career, in your solar chart, and the same in your natal chart – transits in your Tenth House of career. There is no magic wand for work questions this year, and you could switch fields (say) and get a new job, but find burdens related to the profession go on, even after you have left the profession. Saturn is hard work and he is in your solar Tenth House until March 2023, when Pluto takes over. I am sorry you feel burned out and not surprised; the work you are doing is the most important on the planet at the moment and the demands being put on the medical profession are unfair and wrong. However, you need to be a realist about the lack of a fast and easy solution, just for the next year or so. I think the big change year for you will be 2023 and from 2024 you can put everything behind you. It will just be a memory. This feels to me like a transformation, actually, when you will be working with/for quite powerful people and power-packed organisations. It can and does work out for you, long-term and you will realise that you had to be forced to change, in a way, which is why things have reached this point now. Once Uranus (freedom, excitement, independence) moves into the later stages of his cycle by the mid Twenties you will be in an exhilarating new phase, as Uranus will make stunning trines to the Capricorn and Virgo factors in your chart, both of which rule work.

66. Hi Jessica! I’m learning a lot from your insightful posts. I’m a newbie trying to understand how the current nodes in Taurus and Scorpio will affect me and my employment. I’m currently working away from my home country. Thank you.

    1. You are a Sun Virgo with Gemini-Sagittarius patterns. Have you factored in a return to your own country? You have Uranus (unpredictable, erratic, occasionally shocking, never really secure) transiting in Taurus in your solar Ninth House of foreigners and foreign countries until 2026. In your natal chart, we find the Gemini side of life is lit up (local) but pushes back quite hard against the Sagittarius factors (global, international). This looks like you’re being nudged (more than nudged) to go back to your home town. Your ability with languages (two or more, your chart suggests) will continue to work exceptionally well for you as will the new technology that is to come – it will enable you to live out your Gemini side but dispense with the ‘great unknown’ of abroad. I suspect the main issue for you will be the end of travel as you knew it, partly because of airline collapse, but also because of The New Local, which is the huge worldwide trend gathering speed in 2022 and a way of life from 2026. So if you are long-term planning, really look at that.

67. Hi Jessica, I hope it is okay I’m reposting again in hopes you will reply:

    Thank you for the informative article. I have Sun 29 degrees Cancer, Pluto and Ceres at 11 degrees Libra, Panacea 9 degrees Leo, Vulcano 9 degrees Taurus, and Fortuna 10 degrees Scorpio. I liquidated my savings account to pay for an ongoing custody battle. It has been a really hard few years. Any good news on the financial front would be great. Thank you!

    1. I am sorry the custody battle has cost you so much financially. You are a Sun Cancer person with a Scorpio-Taurus pattern. The power and control issues with the other parent will be finished, mostly, from 2023 and history from 2024. There is karma to complete around this child in 2022, 2023. So you are looking at settlement, spiritually, with your former partner, but also the child, and perhaps other family members – your own, or the in-laws. We can’t really choose the settlement; it is chosen for us – but it requires intense focus in 2022, 2023 and then from 2024 (amazingly) you can get on with other things. Try not to pursue any more actions if you can possibly avoid it, I’m not crazy about transiting Saturn in your solar Eighth House of joint finances, nor Pluto there from 2023 onwards. Do ask the Tarot to validate, but despite the hugely strong feelings and no doubt justifiable emotions, try not to channel that into any more battles over money; it would take up huge amounts of your time and energy for years into the future and you have other things to do.

68. Hi Jessica, Thank you for another interesting article as always. I would love some insight into my chart, if anything jumps out regarding this shift. Thank you once again, have a great weekend x

    1. You are a Sun Gemini with a Taurus-Scorpio pattern, so the same story is told twice in your natal chart and solar chart. Between now and 2023 you will experience transiting Pluto finishing up in Capricorn in your solar Eighth House of joint finances, and in your natal chart we find transiting Uranus in your Second House of personal finances, along with the North Node of karma, and the South Node of spiritual budgeting in Scorpio in your natal Eighth House. You have a fair bit of work to do in terms of being repaid by others, perhaps, but also paying back, karmically. It may be useful to lower the stakes now. So try not to borrow a lot of money or over-complicate your life with cryptocurrency, for example, which is volatile until 2026. Keeping life as simple as possible and the stakes low will reduce the pressure. I am sure you have already had enough of it anyway, as life since 2008 has involved two or three episodes (perhaps more) with the personal crossing over with the financial. Maybe it was a house or apartment for you, or a family matter, or a sexual/financial relationship. Once you’ve reached 2023, and certainly from 2024, you can put this behind you. While it’s there you have some work to put in. The Tarot can help you on this website.

69. Hi jessica having saturn 29 degrees Aquarius sun 10deg sagittarius Venus Bacchus 9deg scorpio can you tell what sort of effects the nodes might have for me now specially having a square from nodes to my 11th house.Thank you

    1. Saturn at 29 Aquarius is the big one here, as you will experience your Saturn Return in your Eleventh House of friends and groups next year. The golden rule from Robert Hand is to ‘clear the decks’ so try not to add heavily to group commitments, or friendship agreements in 2022 and leave yourself with the bare minimum of people and communities to deal with. This is very important long-term as Pluto enters Aquarius from 2023 and will eventually, many years into the future, form a conjunction to natal Saturn. I suggest using The Garden Oracle to look at particular friends and allies now, but also later.

70. Happy New Year Jessica. Thank you as always for sharing your expert knowledge.
    The financial episodes of my life have involved joint property (with sibling) and significant debt (mortgage, HECS debt, personal loans, other people’s monies/debts) over the past 20 years. Managing heavy financial situations has been tiresome and really hard work – particularly for a risk adverse Virgo who likes to be control of matters and free from creditors and other people’s opinions/judgment/ignorance. At the same time, being first born and a single Virgo, I’ve felt the burden of family obligations and made financial sacrifices for my parents and sibling. With a legal education, I’ve learnt the need to cross the t’s and dot the i’s and particularly keen to ensure this is done where the joint property is involved.

    I am a little apprehensive about the financial nature of the nodes at 29 degrees Taurus and Scorpio – as my North node is 29 Taurus, South node is 29 Scorpio. I also have Neptune in 28 degrees Sagittarius. To be honest, I’m pretty exhausted dealing with joint finances and would love to be financially independent and successful on my own.

    I also have a stellium in Scorpio – Saturn 12 degrees, Panacea 17 degrees, Pluto 0 degrees, South node 29 degrees.
    Taurus – Ceres at 25 degrees, North node 29 degrees.

    I would be grateful if you could shed light on what it means for someone like me with the nodes at exactly the same degrees and a Scorpio-heavy birth chart. Thank you in advance Jessica.

    1. The 12-29 degree spread across Taurus-Scorpio in your chart, including the nodes (which show past lives spent being both rich and poor) suggest 2022 is the most important year in around two decades for choices about parents and siblings. This is of course Scorpio stuff in the Eighth House of your chart. Family money. The transiting nodes cover 29-12 degrees this year and move backwards in time, also taking you back to karma in this lifetime, but in other lifetimes too. Ask the Tarot what the agreements were, financially, in your last lifetime with your mother, father, brother, sister and so on. Uranus moves to 12 Taurus in March 2022 and begins the long, slow cycle of revolution in your chart, not over until April 2026, actually. There is karma here this year (you owe, or are owed, karmically) and some sort of deep settlement will come to pass – something has to be balanced out. Uranus is around for much longer and although this cycle does not give you security, permanence or predictability, it can be exciting, liberating and genuinely exhilarating. You have to understand the cycle and try to go with it; rather like surfing wild waves. You do stand to gain or save a lot of money when Jupiter goes through Taurus 12-29 so that’s July 2023 to May 2024.

    2. Happy New Year. I’ve replied to you elsewhere.

71. Hi Jessica, I would be interested how you see the future of mainstream media. There is a lot of censorship everywhere and people are getting very frustrated with that. My second question is how you see the future of universities as an institution for education. What will be the role of university when every information is available on the internet. Thank you

    1. It’s a really good question, as we go into the Gemini ‘climate change’ of these astrological cycles. Basically, Gemini rules the neighbourhood, local media and internet, the school system, and particularly language, publishing and broadcasting. There is nothing important in Sagittarius (globalisation, global media corporate ownership – Fox/Murdoch) coming the other way. So there is no ‘weather’ in the sign of global academia, or global media for years. Meanwhile Gemini takes over. There are also billions of people on the planet with Sagittarius patterns in their Ninth House of globalisation who will experience personal oppositions from the Gemini transits, forcing the retreat of international – back to local. What we will see, starting as soon as February 10th 2022, when Ceres enters Gemini, is the emergence of powerful local media online. So this is really about taking back the audience that Facebook (global corporation) took. This feels like a technological advance which benefits people who want news that is generated within their town/city/suburb/neighbourhood or perhaps business backing for the same. You’d suspect the collapse of local grocery shops (for example) with COVID-19 is part of that. The universities will find their usual Sagittarian approach (foreign students paying their bills) also disappears, partly because of the ever-spreading pandemic, but also because there is more money in chopped-up degree courses selling short online education for anyone who wants to buy. This is all classic Gemini-Sagittarius opposition stuff. If you want clues about where all this is going, look at the last time Uranus was in Gemini after the war…

72. Thank you. The lunar nodes should not worry you. Karmic balancing acts are necessary; they are required and once they are finished, there is an acceptance that we can move on, and others can move on too, with no hard feelings. Letting go and moving on (shifting the relationships) is what it’s all about. Then new people and situations can come in which better reflect who you are, today. When you say ‘noose around your neck’ and ‘neighbour’ that does sound like the nodes talking. Past lives tend to show up with them and you may have had just that sort of situation with this person in another life. Your own nodes are Aries-Libra which suggests war is in your past – doing battle – perhaps on a military level, but personal too. If we go back to all the very stressful situations with property and money for you (for which I am sorry) then the actual start of it all was getting away from the neighbour. You are a Sun Capricorn with a big Aries signature, too. You can and will get through this, but do not take on any more burdens with finance, property, business in 2022. Try to keep things as low-key and low-stakes as possible until March 2023. This is a marathon not a sprint. You will cross the line in March 2023, which may be a date that turns up in paperwork, and from that point, be surrounded by quite powerful people and powerful organisations, which will empower you, if you use your willpower – financially. In fact 2023 and beyond is a total transformation in your situation. Long-term you will find the combination of Pluto in Aquarius in the Second House of your solar chart and Jupiter in Taurus in the Second House of your natal chart, make 2023-2024 the big changeover year when – for whatever reason – you can fix just about every problem. Workwise you will relaunch, rebrand, promote yourself, change your look/image, perhaps your name and be very successful with the new you, May-October 2022 and January-May 2023.

73. Capricorn 29 January talks about May. What’s happening today?

    1. Your own methods will tell you, surely?

74. Hi Jessica,

    Thanks so much for your insightful website, I have learnt so much since discovering it last year and the changes that occurred in my employment was mirroring that. I now work from home, have a large garden to enjoy and have morphed into working on the helpline for a charity, perfect for a Virgo!

    Hoping you can give some insights on my chart and what I might be coming up 2022-2024?

    Thanks again for your wonderful website and Youtube videos!

    1. Thank you. I’m glad the astrology has helped with the new lifestyle. You will make or save a lot of money in May-October and again January-May 2023, as you have cycles in your natal and solar chart, at the same time, which show fantastic opportunities. Sometimes it is as basic as the value of your home increasing, or a bargain property find. Sometimes you stumble across a lucrative idea which nobody else has thought of. It’s out there for you. Your charity may of course be the beneficiary.

75. Hi Jessica. We are so stuck. My husband and I got married in 2008, and just have no made one iota of progress on the financial and house front. I’m wondering if this is stuck karma, any idea of when this will lift?

    1. You will make or save a lot of money by May 2022 if you take the opportunities. And quel opportunities, as the French would say.

76. Hi Jessica – I’m almost too scared to ask or receive an answer. Life in the past has been hard; the death of my daughter (stillborn – 2001) 13 years in a mentally abusive relationship with a previous partner (ended in 2003) and bankruptcy (2016). Life seems to be picking up as I now have a strong marriage of 18 years, three healthy teenagers, permanent work and am in the process of building a house. Money is still very-very tight and I’m hoping for a promotion but was told it probably wouldn’t happen. I continuously worry about my family and finances. I dread having to pay back anything karmically as my life before was simply awful, full of sadness, guilt, worry and the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness. The road to stability has been a long and arduous journey. I’m constantly on guard when it comes to life. I have a stellium in Scorpio and some factors in Taurus. Can you please explain what these mean? Thank you.

    1. Astrology shows you your patterns and tells you how to fix anything that makes you scared, worried or on guard. Beyond the tragic death of your daughter, among other really difficult past events, look to your chart to see if there is anything about your state of mind which makes you feel that way. Saturn is usually the issue because he is a symbol of fear. Saturn at 22 Aries opposite Ceres and Vulcano both at 22 Libra is rare, unusual and hard work. You can also sort it out. Saturn in Aries in the First House is about your self-promotion, personal appearance, shape, style and face – your voice, your first impressions on other people, how you look and appear to the world. Saturn is about how you make yourself feel safe, in that regard, and people do all kinds of things to deal with their fears. Ask yourself when you first felt insecure or vulnerable because of being upfront, or front-and-centre (it was probably at school) and what you might have begun doing to get yourself out of it. Not every method we choose is wise. The other side of the story is the Libra end of the opposition which is about duets and duels. Thus your previous partner, who would have been there during one of the toughest transits of your life. Well done for getting through it. You could go a long way by looking up Saturn opposite Ceres and Saturn opposite Vulcano, or Libra-Aries oppositions, or First House-Seventh House oppositions, which all describes what you have. Other astrologers would also have a point of view on those oppositions. Aries is self-interest and self-promotion; self-awareness and ‘Me.’ Libra is ‘the two of us’ but also ‘me versus you’ and there are numerous ways to play this, which can be creative and constructive for you. Sometimes you need a sport or a game which allows you to safely play out Aries-Libra, like chess or ping-pong, believe it or not. Yoga can be very good – especially if it involves muscular resistance and slow breathing. The financial side of things is a totally different issue, and you are in the last full year of the most demanding cycle of your life. It’s gone from March 2023 and history by 2024. The professional side of things is excellent this year, so ignore nay-sayers and dream bigger. Until May and then October-December, you have excellent chances for a promotion, different job, award, big hit and the rest. This shows up in both your charts. You were born with Salacia at 26 Capricorn which suggests you can work in two fields at once. Neither of them real-world. But two talents, or two jobs, or two roles. It would feel like a holiday from reality for you.

77. Thank you so much for answering my question and giving such a detailed response. Also thank you for the 2022 year book… it is beautiful and wonderful!

    You said: ” Try not to pursue any more actions if you can possibly avoid it, I’m not crazy about transiting Saturn in your solar Eighth House of joint finances, nor Pluto there from 2023 onwards.” Does this mean towards this case or in general? And I hate that Pluto goes from my seventh house to my finances. 🙁

    1. Thank you so much, I am glad you like your 2022 Astrology Report. There’s enough Taurus-Scorpio in your natal chart, in your Second House and Eighth House, to back that prediction a second time, as in your solar chart, you also have Saturn transiting your Eighth House, then Pluto after 2023. Keep the stakes really low in 2022 with the money, house, apartment, business, charity. You wouldn’t borrow a ton of money (for example) to bet on volatile and unstable things. What is going on in 2022, until March 2023, is Saturn transiting your sector of joint finances and slowing everything down, but also inhibiting and blocking the natural flow. If you slow down as well you will be in the best possible position. Try not to take on too much/do too much, too rapidly. In 2022 we also find the South Node in Scorpio transiting your natal Eighth House and that also tends to keep you rather stuck, on a circuit or loop, as the node moves backwards. So think carefully before big decisions involving money. Your Tarot can help you there. Again, this would be joint finances, so personal/close relationships all bound up with a house, or flat, or budget. In 2023 Saturn leaves in March, and Pluto moves in. That month suggests something quite dramatic, like the start or end of a financial relationship, or the start/end of a key piece of paperwork involving family, partners and so on. You shouldn’t hate Pluto. He will empower you – if you use your willpower from that point.

78. Hi Jessica

    happy new year 2022! May this year bring you everything you need and desire…

    I have my IC & MC in Taurus & Scorpio respectively; in addition Uranus/psyche/diana in Scorpio and Chiron in Taurus.

    I am financially wiped out the past 3 years given I have not had a job; I have recently applied ( and crossed 2 rounds) for a role which would get my career back on track totally, allow me to move cities and pay really well ( so I can move out of my parents house which is toxic and adding to my issues; if the job were in my home city it would be a bit more difficult to leave). This is make or break – senior positions are few and far between and if I don’t get it I will be all at sea.

    Do u foresee me getting this role – I interviewed during both mercury and Venus retrograde ( did not have a choice on timing) – all my hopes are pinned on getting this role. It is a role/industry which I was in till early 2016; I decided to diversify to 2019 in a job /industry I was really unhappy in – so it’s different in a mannner of speaking than what I have done the past few years.

    Any help and guidance would be appreciated. Thank you as always.

    1. Happy Lunar New Year. Thank you. Now, Juno at 29 Capricorn and a huge Virgo stellium tell your story here. Juno is about commitment, Capricorn is career, and transiting Pluto is going to cross 29 Capricorn before he leaves in 2023. The years 2023-2024 will transform your career for many years to come, so the future is calling to the present. The Virgo stellium in your Sixth House of work, duty, service, health and lifestyle tells the rest of the story. You are also a Sun Leo. So professional reshaping is in your destiny in that chart system too. You can and will be in new situation with your lifestyle, workload, daily routine and very importantly, your health and wellbeing (that is a huge part of the story) by 2026. It happens in stages. Congratulations in getting through two rounds of interviews for this job, which would help you leave your parents’ house. You did actually go through the interview process, and in fact are still going through it, during Mercury Retrograde, so even if you secured the role, there would be changes, delays or rescheduling with the actual company. You may find yourself going in to work with person Y on project X, for example, and then find out later it’s person Z and project W. If you don’t secure the role it’s not actually make or break, as you assume. Far from it. Thinking in such a black and white way is not really what this cycle is about. If anything you need to change your ideas, open up to alternatives, release some stuck notions about salary and success, and actually experiment with what comes/what is there. This has been a rule since 2018 when Uranus moved into Taurus and your career sector (Leo) and finance sector (natal chart). So the wipeout of 2019, 2020, 2021 suggests to me that you were trying to stick to an old system and old outlook, when Uranus transits are all about rapid transition to a very new world. You can find out more about Uranus in your flipbooks. In any case you are on your way to a radically different, new career by 2026 and just a heads-up that it may change more than once and be the last thing you thought you would be doing. You will also save or make a lot of money by May, and again from October-December this year, which should help with your financial wipe-out.

79. Hi Jessica. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love reading your articles. I wonder if you wouldn’t mind looking at my chart and giving me some insight for this coming year. I am feeling changes in my workplace. I also live in the United States in the midwest. I just mentioned this in case there’s something in particular to know about this area. Thank you for your time.

    1. Thank you. You have a large stellium in Libra in your Seventh House of duets and duels, so your birth chart suggests that ‘the two of us’ or ‘me versus you’ is a recurring story in your life and it always changes everything. In your solar chart as a Sun Cancer person we find transiting Pluto in the Seventh House of duets and duels, since the year 2008 so you’ve had a very long period in your life of rebalancing the balancing acts, or sometimes finding they were not built to last. Any Cancerian with a Libra stellium is in the same position. This is the last full year of Pluto transiting Capricorn and your solar Seventh House, as he goes from March 2023 and from 2024 is history. So you are really seeing the very last episodes with one particular person or perhaps more than one, if you always act out the same questions of power and control with a range of people who fill the ‘duet or duel role for you.’ This may be at work, so you have a professional rival or problem person, or a professional partner or successful other half. It’s quite common for strongly Libran people to have that at work. It’s just as likely to be marriage, common-law marriage or a post-divorce situation, of course. You can ask the Tarot how best to handle the last full year of this Pluto transit.

80. Hi Jessica,
    Happy lunar new year! My nodes are the reverse of this transit – North Node in Scorpio and South Node in Taurus. Is it likely to be a positive period, or challenging because they’re in opposition? Thank you.

    1. Happy Lunar New Year. The New Moon on 1st February is close now. Your nodes in Scorpio-Taurus show several lifetimes of wealth or poverty and the role of an inheritance and a dowry can’t be underestimated in your karmic history. People in your family circle now, or those you are/were in a financial/sexual relationship with, are probably past life contacts. There is karma there with him/her/them to be played out 2022-2023 and you will be repaid, or pay up, depending on what happened about 18-19 years ago, but actually extending way into past lives. Have a look at the Tarot for clues about some of those people, now.

81. Hi Jessica! Been going through a lot of your resources lately to figure out my natal chart and what’s coming up for me this year. I am a travel nurse right now and been making the most money I have ever made. However, it’s short term. Wondering if you have any insight or advice regarding my career and finances? Am also wondering about my love life/relationships this year! Have been single for almost 2 years now. Thank you!

    1. Jupiter at 8 Scorpio in your natal chart in the Eighth House of joint finance and Panacea at 7 Libra in your Seventh House of sexual relationships and marriage, gives you clear timing on an opportunity for a new relationship or engagement – February 2023. You don’t have to sit around waiting for that, you can get on with your dating life, but that’s a rare pattern. As a travel nurse you would be indeed making a small fortune during COVID-19. Perfect job for a Sun Virgo/Virgo Stellium. You will be offered even more, or given a chance to save, May-October 2022 and January-May 2023. You do have to weigh this against the rather heavy burdens of the lifestyle, though, in 2022. I don’t think you can wriggle out of this cycle in 2022, but it’s gone from March 2023. That is a huge month for you when you could switch role/profession. Ask the Tarot to validate that for you.

82. hi Jessica!

    thanks so much for this post. absolutely fascinating. I have both my natal moon conjunct aesculapius at 29 degrees taurus.

    I also have several other planets at 29 degrees. I have Covid currently which is interesting– and I got sick when the nodes shifted. how do you see me being further affected by these transits?

    thanks!

    1. I am so sorry you became ill with Covid-19. You became ill when the lunar nodes went from Gemini-Sagittarius to Taurus-Scorpio. That is automatically a question about work, salary, sick leave, health insurance and the price of the pay packet, versus the priceless nature of protected good health. Sure enough you have patterns at 29 degrees. You don’t just have the lunar nodes going across 29, you also have Pluto (crucial) going around 28, 29 for many years into the future. So there is more to this than you might think. It’s about your money and your career. And it has to change – as late as June 2023 Pluto goes back to 29 Capricorn in your Tenth House of ambition, position and mission. It will be Jupiter at 29 Taurus in May 2024 that rewards you for all the reshaping you start doing from 2022.

83. Thank you Jessica. So on point for me! I am from a services family, however, I was talked out of it by my mother when I went to sign up. I really think I would be dead now otherwise. The house I’m trying to sell was built for the men coming home from the war! The day I moved in I nearly died in it. Obviously got through that lol.
    The day I started decorating to put it on the market I ended up in an ambulance with a bad reaction to the paint. The paramedic said if I hadn’t got them out I could’ve died. This house is definitely connected to war in my past and karmic. I have moved on now from it by obviously moving into rented accomodation but it is giving me a good fight to not sell it. It really is the noose around my neck and it needs to go! Fingers crossed it goes through on 4th February! Thank you so much for advice as well. I will keep calm this year and not invest in anything. To be fair I really need a break from the responsibilities of owning a house so that’ll be good for me this year! Thank you again..

    1. Thank you for validating the astrology – you are from a services family and nearly signed up, and your house was built for returned soldiers. And you nearly died in it. This is quite astonishing. You have spirit with you here so I am unsure if this is your mother (if she’s in spirit) or you have someone from the war close by. In any case, take a few moments to tune in, silently, to messages that may be there for you.

84. Dear Jessica,

    Happy new year 2022 ! Thank you for the year book 2022 and sharing your knowledge with the rest of us ….;)

    This year will be a turning point for me and maybe you could take a closer look at my chart and give me some insight for it ?
    I am running a business with my husband for over the last 20 years , I like to sell it in April or May , and retire . Right now I live in Germany , but want to move at least for some months of the year to Turkey , which I tried already in 2008 ……

    Greetings Ayşe

    1. Okay, so Germany-Turkey is an issue. Why? Because we are moving into Gemini cycles, which are all about staying local, not travelling to other countries, spending locally, taking holidays in the region. Airlines going from one nation to another will not vanish overnight but many will collapse and you need to be aware of that. This drills down, even to trains which run across Europe. From 2026 the train system we have today will be history as Uranus (the revolution) goes into Gemini (local travel). Retiring from a business with your husband, Ayse, is a separate issue. This is the perfect year to do it. You want an escape, preferably by the river/sea and you will get it, more quickly than you think – Easter will be a highlight.

85. Hi, I just have read in a local paper (https://www.segabg.com/node/205103) about prosecution case against credit Suisse.
    “Two Swiss and two Bulgarian citizens, including one supposed to be mafia leader, are accused of laundering 55 million francs. The Swiss federal prosecutor said that the Bulgarian drug mafia had deposited about 55 million francs in Credit Suisse (CS), SonntagsZeitung reported. In that regard, the Swiss State claimed more than 42 million francs (40 million euros) in compensation from Credit Suisse Group AG. The lawsuit is the result of a 14-year investigation by the bank into money laundering by a Bulgarian drug group.“
    You know, Bulgaria was ally to Germany in WWR2, despite long struggling between Russia and Germany historically. Not sure, but think 1938 we were not part of Germany/Italy pact. However sounds interesting – 1938
    Nazi funds 2022 Bulgarian mafia – all connected by wwr2 carmaker and credit suisse. What do you think?

    Also, I am a bit concerned regarding my own Scorpio stellium 🙂
    Jessika, many thanks for your great job, shared with ordinary people like me. Respect!

    1. Oh, that is fascinating. Thank you for the link to this new Credit Suisse story. On one level they are paying for past misdeeds, as they are clearly in trouble. Bulgaria is part of the karma from the war, and we just saw 1938 repeat itself. It goes on. We are now in that crucial European karma zone, just before 1939, although this time it is obviously Russia and Ukraine. I am struck by the shock of it all. Uranus is shock. The last thing people expect is the first thing to happen. Vladimir Putin may well try to annexe Ukraine – shock to the world markets. The crucial point here is Germany and fossil fuel deals with Russia. We could go on – we’ll have to see what 2022 brings – but this is Germany’s big chance to help erase old karma, and it won’t come again. You have a huge Scorpio stellium, and also Taurus factors too. So you ‘live’ with your values, your life budget, your attitude towards money, business, charity, valuables, property. It is a massive part of who you are. Now, along come the nodes in Taurus-Scorpio, as well as Uranus in Taurus. Jupiter (fantastic solutions) comes along into Taurus from May 2023 to May 2024. So we really need to look at 2022, 2023, 2024 as a whole – but also 2025, 2026 which are the last years of the Uranus cycle. Do you have a five-year plan? Do you have a plan that involves the greatest possible flexibility so you can move quickly when the financial world changes around you? This means not being heavily tied down to large amounts of borrowed money, or putting all your eggs in one basket. Being light on your feet, as much as you can, is the best possible way to deal with the sudden changes of the next few years. Some of them will benefit you very much. But you need to learn how to dance in various storms.

86. Hi Jessica. It seems we live in interesting times, again. The mercury retrograde has certainly hit central Australia with floods and mass communication outages. Talk about disruption to your day/week/year. I shrug and say it’s just that time of the year but people dont seem to understand haha! I was wondering if you could provide some insight to my chart? Like many, I feel stuck, but it has felt like two decades of very hard work doing all the ‘right’ to get not very far and in fact go backwards. I feel like I want to just run away and hide in the bush but worry that’s just exhaustion talking, but instead I probably need to just work harder, but is that just fear talking? Everyone around me seems to be in the same boat (maybe not with twenty years of horrible history) so I’m guessing a lot of pandemic fatigue is beginning to kick a lot of people. Thank you in advance for your time

    1. Yes, Mercury Retrograde is here and he is currently at 25 Capricorn, repeating December 30th 2021. No wonder everyone is backtracking. You are exhausted and have pandemic fatigue but have spent two decades working really hard and now want to run away and hide in the bush. Twenty years is a really long time, so this sounds like a pattern you need to break. Work is Virgo, exhaustion is Virgo, and so we look to anything in that sign in your chart, in the Sixth House of lifestyle, wellbeing and job. You have a stellium across 13-27 Virgo and have been through mutable sign weather. The mutable signs are Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius and whenever we see cycles of the slow-moving nodes or outer planets in those signs, there is prolonged pressure. You had that in 2020, 2021 but a lot of it stopped on January 19th when the nodes left Gemini and Sagittarius. Still, I think you need to change and so do you. Uranus in Taurus across 13-27 will trine (or make a stunning flow pattern) to your Virgo placements in the Sixth House of work and wellbeing. So this is a revolution and it begins from April 2022 and runs until February 2026. I can also see Pluto at 27 Capricorn, again trine, the final Virgo factor in your chart – in February 2022, March 2022, June-August 2022, December 2022, January 2023 and back again September, October 2023. Resistance is futile. You have to change everything about your attitude towards housework, paid work, unpaid work, study, hours, service, duty, daily routine – and crucially your body. If you try to hang on to the past it won’t work, and I strongly recommend you accept when you are being pushed to alter course by the trends around you. The other really useful cycle here is Jupiter in Taurus, again trine your Virgo stellium from May 2023 until May 2024. It would be useful for you to read widely on Virgo and the Sixth House, because that is where you live. Your commitment to others and making the wheels go around is invaluable to those above you, and to those above them, but at a certain point your body talks and you have to listen. Radical rethinking even of the 24 hours in your day (8 to sleep, 8 to work, 8 to play) is a good place to start. Your Tarot/Oracle readings will help you dig into the questions. This is a really rare lot of transits in Capricorn and Taurus, trine your Virgo stellium – only possible once in your adult life. You may also want to change the food you eat. That’s part of the whole shebang – what you eat and drink at work, or dive into when you arrive, tired, home from work. That is a little clairvoyant message for you. Food and drink.

87. On the plus side, as an Aquarius with a 2022 Report, you’ll have 2023 predicted for yourself at the session for your sign, in January 2023. You have to sell your house, though. Or not. There are big questions here about Brisbane, and Sydney, and also lifestyle change. Okay, so to begin with your solar chart, as you have seen from your report, you are in the ‘radical change’ zone with your home until 2026. That is the background cycle. If you can possibly wait, from May 2023 until May 2024 you hit the Jupiter in Taurus cycle which will benefit your Fourth House of property in your solar chart and Second House of money in your natal chart. Jupiter cycles symbolise gain, abundance and luck. Jupiter is also a problem solver so if you are in trouble by May 2023, you will be offered a way out/through that year, and in early 2024. Proserpina at 18 Scorpio in the Eighth House of joint finance and the lunar nodes at 24 Scorpio-Taurus are the main financial stories now, as you have been through most of the shocks (Uranus, the planet of upheaval, crossed the earlier degrees of Taurus along the Taurus-Scorpio axis of your chart already). Are we seeing a perfect storm here? Your nodal return, not possible in almost two decades, and very much about property and financial karma, goes to 24 Taurus-Scorpio from 6th to 17th March 2022. We find Saturn at 18 Aquarius square Proserpina at 18 Scorpio, showing what cannot be easily ‘squared’ on March 1st, 2nd. Jupiter goes to 18 Pisces from 19th to 22nd March, so that’s useful – it shows solutions. You may want to wait until March is done and dusted before you do any further research on where/when. Your Tarot/Oracles can help validate timing.

88. Hi Jessica, For the longest time I thought my birth time at 3:45pm meant I was a Leo Sun, Sagittarius rising, and Aquarius moon. But I was mistaken and my 3:05pm birth makes me Scorpio Rising at 29 degrees. Is this significant? I would really appreciate your insight into my 2022-23 year. I know to prepare for family loss due health issues. Still hope for a miracle. I am anxious about uncertainty. Thank you for any guidance.

    1. The Ascendant or Rising Sign is the least important part of the chart. People so often get it wrong (birth times can be tricky) and in any case it is only your surface impression; your shop window; your photograph online, or your name. You are still a Sun Leo which is the key story in 2022, 2023 as the transiting South Node in Scorpio goes through your Fourth House of family. You are already preparing for loss. This shows up in your natal chart as well, because of course you have that stellium in Scorpio in the Eighth House of what they call ‘sex, death and money.’ It is usually the mortgage and marriage, but also the inheritance made to relatives, and any legacy by the family which names you. The wheel of karma is slowly turning around and you will be taken back to life 18-19 years ago as the spiritual ledger is settled and the soul does its balancing act. This is all ahead for you. Even if you do get the miracle you want, the sheer fact that you (or the family member) are having to get real about a will, is enough. Sometimes it’s just the actual act of updating a legacy, or changing it, which is what the lunar node cycle is all about. It’s the reckoning up, even if nothing actually comes to pass.

89. Thank you Jessica!

90. Hi Jessica, Happy 2022 to you.
    My North Node is 27 Taurus and my South Node is 27 Scorpio! How will this be significant for me – what should I look out for? I know that today they are at 28 degrees, so that does mean yesterday/today/tomorrow are particularly important?
    I am definitely going through some inner-stuff right now (more related to 2012 than 2002) and very scared about my future and what it will look like.
    Thank-you as always for all that you do.

    1. Hmm, well the whole point of astrology is to help you avoid feeling scared. It’s about navigating. You are a Sun Pisces who must have done something right 18-19 years ago, as you will save or make a lot of money from May-October and again January-May 2023. You are owed, shall we say, perhaps because you did charity work then, or you were generous in other ways with people; perhaps giving them your possessions, or hiring them (which cost you) or perhaps letting someone stay in your home at no cost to them. The lunar node cycle will pick up your Scorpio-Taurus factors and you’ll gain.

91. Thank you!

92. Thank you for your answers. My Mum is still on the earth plane at 84 years old. I will definitely tune in when I go over today to give the house one last visit before it’s sold on Friday and see if there’s any connections. When you answered the first time and said I had Aries-Libra nodes and the war/battle connection, it all came rushing into my mind. I hadn’t thought of that before! Funnily enough, where I’ve rented for the moment is on an old private hospital site and is where the last battle of Mary Queen of Scots was so I’ve obviously not lost the theme of war/battle around me yet lol. The energy is calmer here though funnily enough. It’s temporary though as wanting to move to another area.
    Thank you again…

    1. Thank you for validating the astrology for me. Your rental is an old hospital and was the site of the last battle of Mary Queen of Scots. That’s not an accident. Aries-Libra nodes are very common in the charts of old soldiers like you.

93. Thank you Jessica! I pulled the 8 wands and straight away thought one of my past life contacts is my 8 year old Aquarian son. He has his North Node in Scorpio and South Node in Taurus like me. Today he was referred to the hospital to check an issue with his overall growth (this was also an issue a few years ago and doctors conducted lots of tests including for suspected cancer which thankfully ended up being clear). The timing makes me wonder if the upcoming return to hospital checks this year has a karmic element. I also thought the card indicates his Gemini father (my ex-husband who is irresponsible) as a past life contact. I’d appreviate you sharing any psychic insights you get with me. Thank you!

    1. The Eight of Wands is your eight-year old son, correct. There is a double message in the card. Eight is his age. Wands/staves/rods are also symbols of branches on a tree. Pamela Colman Smith often illustrated them as straight tree branches with leaves. So this is the family tree and here is growth. He also has one node in Scorpio, which is family money and family property karma, as do you. The card doesn’t really talk about his father but you may find his DNA and the family tree is useful and important. Growth with wands begins when they are ‘potted’ in the right place and given the right plant food. Just like a real branch from a tree which you try to ensure ‘takes’ in your garden. The setting has to be right for him to grow, so does the fertiliser. I hope that makes sense to you. But the card is talking to you, as all Pamela and Arthur’s cards do.

94. Thank you! I feel really at peace now. So grateful to you for answering and connecting it all up for me. All the best to you for 2022 and beyond…

95. Thanks Jessica! Yes, it makes sense because I’m hoping to buy a larger first home (our rental property is tiny) and he’s slowly eating more plant food. Thanks again for sharing your insight with me!

96. Lol. I initially interpreted “plant food” literally because it’s challenging getting my son to eat vegetables but I get what you mean metaphorically too. Have a good evening.

97. Wow! I know this is an older blog but I had to come here and post this extraordinary news of the leak at Credit Suisse.. you predicted this Jessica
    https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/feb/20/credit-suisse-secrets-leak-unmasks-criminals-fraudsters-corrupt-politicians

    1. Thank you. The astrology was so specific about Credit Suisse and the Swiss banks. The shocks will be ongoing. Watch March, April, May. I believe Wikileaks posted all the leaks online and it will take some journalists a few weeks more to come up with the goods. Switzerland’s karma from 1938 is massive.

98. Thank you for sharing your light with us!! Could you please shed light on how this transit will play out for me? My son(aug 11,2003) had his north node exactly conjunct my Sun and I am curious on how this will affect us. Both of us have lead highly restrictive lives and i am hoping for release soon. Thank you in advance.

    1. It sounds as if your son is caught up in the oppositions of the lunar nodes in August, September 2022 and I’ve replied to you elsewhere. Thank you.

99. Dear Jessica,
    I was wondering how my financial situation looks regarding investments, buying property, starting a business? I feel I have to change my financial plan, start something new. Is it a good time to start something new (business, rental property) in 2022-2023? Or just a relocation again? I appreciate your insights.
    Thank you in advance.
    D

    1. You are a Sun Scorpio with a big Taurus-Scorpio pattern in your Second House of personal income and Eighth House of joint finances and property. You want to start something new in 2022 on the most unstable economic cycle since 1938 and 1939, so you need to do your research. Basically we are back with Uranus in Taurus, and the lunar nodes in Taurus-Scorpio, so there is a lot of stretching to do, if you want to start afresh with investments, property purchases or a new business. You really have to weigh up what you would pay for peace of mind, because you’re not really going to get that from 2022-2023 while there is so much push-and-pull between the Second and Eighth houses of your chart. D, use the Tarot and Oracles on this website to validate that for yourself, but in general, you’d want the lunar nodes to go out of Taurus-Scorpio and back into Aries-Libra to get smoother sailing from new financial beginnings. You actually have the nodes in those signs so will experience a nodal return and that is usually about past lives. In fact there may be a past life there in 1938 or 1939. You can double that message if you are involved with Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States in any binding capacity – for obvious reasons.

100. Thank you Jessica.

101. Hi Jessica, May I ask what do you see for Hungary? How does the upcoming election would turn out? Is the country going to leave the EU in the next few years?
     Thank you,
     D

     1. There are two charts for Hungary and the one which works best is set for 23rd October 1989 at 12.00 CET in Budapest. I’ve chatted a little bit about Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Moldova and we see (incredibly) the same pattern around 0-1 Aquarius. Hungary has the Sun at 0 Scorpio and Uranus at 2 Capricorn so that is very close. Yes, you could easily separate from the European Union. Uranus in Capricorn in the Tenth House of ambition and position, is basically a revolution waiting to happen. Once we see the lunar nodes and particularly Pluto start to hover around 0, 1, 2 of the signs, this feels like a radical change in your leadership (Capricorn) but also in your place in the world (the EU, NATO, the United Nations). The time-frame for this is June 2023, when the lunar nodes start going across Taurus-Scorpio 2, 1 and Pluto is at 0 Aquarius – then July 2023. These trends pick up again quickly in February 2023 when Pluto goes to 0, 1 Aquarius one more time. For Hungary this is all about the economy and trade. Uranus in any chart, be it human or a country, always shows where there is a rejection dance taking place. A lot of ‘no’ and refusal. It’s never still or quiet, or settled for very long. I don’t know when your election is scheduled for, but you don’t get those aspects to Uranus at 2 Capricorn in a chart and preserve the old status quo.

102. Dear Jessica,
     I’m so happy I found you (thanks Susan Miller). Your gift is lighting up the way for the world and individually at these trying times. I have been at home raising children since 2014 and am feeling financially depleted by now. I have some investments (biotech and mining) and wonder if in 2022 or 2023 I might see my financial situation improve thanks to those or for any other reason?
     Best wishes and kindest regards,
     Monika

     1. Thanks Monika, I will pass that onto Susan Miller. You are a Sun Sagittarius with a big Scorpio-Taurus signature. This is useful as it gives you an end point for financial pressure. The worst is over from March 2023 and gone for good from 2024. You will gain, either from investments, or a lucrative employment situation, from May 2023 until May 2024. This shows up in both your solar and natal chart. So this is temporary. The reason you are feeling the stretch now is that for the first time in 18-19 years the lunar nodes are in Taurus-Scorpio so you are well and truly being pulled in two directions, like a tug-of-war. By 2026 you will have made radical changes to the way you handle money, business, charity and/or property and will feel much more free as a result.

103. HI Jessica

     Thank you so much for sharing your work! Ive found it a calming presence over the last little while, and am so glad for your membership option.

     I have Chiron in Taurus, 11th house and I am wondering if I am up for a rocky couple years ahead with finances? I have started saving aggressively but dont have much in the way of investments. My mentality has always been to trade $ for actual material resources, so I am saving for land. I would so appreciate your insights as to what I can do to stay financially healthy through this time.

     Thank you!

     1. Thank you. You are a Sun Libra person with a Taurus-Scorpio pattern in your Second House of personal finances and Eighth House of joint finances. You will reshape your life budget dramatically in 2022, 2023 and much of what happens will owe a lot to life as it was 18-19 years ago. Chiron in Taurus in your chart, in the Second House is a symbol of getting away with the so-called impossible. You will do it too, very likely with land, but perhaps with some other deal involving a house, apartment or acreage that leaves jaws on the floor. It’s a little early for this yet, but when Jupiter (opportunity, growth, expansion, luck) goes into Taurus and over your Chiron, all the doors will open for that. By 2024 at the latest you should have hit a so-called impossible target.

104. Jessica, you are so generous with your comments on here. Thank you.

     I am curious and excited about the upcoming 23 degrees transits. Jupiter and Neptune will trine my 23 Venus Scorpio in the 12th.
     I have MC/IC 23 Leo/Aquarius. Saturn is soon to cross my IC (Saturn transits are always positive for me). My NN is 25 Aries.

     I am wondering if the south node transit to venus might see my husband (we’ve been apart for 3.5 years) and I reunite. His Mars is 23 Libra.

     1. Thank you. I need to spin your chart as I use the Natural House System and Venus in Scorpio is not in your Twelfth House, but your Eighth House. The South Node will form a conjunction to natal Venus, which it did 18-19 years ago. I am not sure if that phase in your life involved your husband or not, but a story from that time, involving finance, property, the family, or a partnership is back for closure. You want to know if you’ll get back together with your husband? It’s hard to say without his chart, but you could give yourself a three-way reading on this website with The Garden Oracle, Smith-Waite Tarot and Astrology Oracle. You are a Sun Capricorn with a Libra stellium so partnerships matter to you; a duet is central to your life, no matter if it’s marriage or work. The answer is actually children. You don’t say if you had them, or not. Your attitude towards sons, daughters, stepchildren, younger in-laws and so on (until 2026) is really the whole answer about marriage, remarriage or a new lover. Freedom and independence are ongoing issues.

105. Thank you. Yes, we have children (26 and 24 years old) and a 5 year old granddaughter. Thank you so much.

     1. It’s about the adult and small children first and foremost, if your birth time is minute-accurate and your MC (Midheaven) is Leo. If so, wheels will start turning from May 2022 to make a decision which puts freedom, space and independence for them/from them/through them the priority.
