Nodal Returns
Approximate Ages: around 18 1/2, 37, 56, 74 1/2Nodal returns are turning points. A few things (or many) during this time can fall into place, seeming to support you along your path. You will decide what from your past you’re willing to carry forward and what do you need to leave behind to fulfill your destiny and integrate your north node more.
Nodal Squares
Approximate Ages: 4 1/2, 14, 23, 32 1/2. 42, 51, 60 1/2, 70, 79
You might feel circumstance nudging you toward a need to compromise in how, why, and when you do certain things. You might find yourself on any and every timeline but the one that works for you. Circumstances out of your control force you to compromise.
It’s a time of adjusting to new surroundings or a new reality, and most of us tend to wallow in resistance to change.
These transits are for learning more about your assumptions about what the world is and should be like through seeing in real time that you only have part of the picture. If you open your mind to making new connections and seeing the world through a different perspective, you will learn more about the world around you as it actually is while moving away from a conditioned fantasy about what the world should be like.
Reverse Nodal Returns
Approximate Ages: a bit over 9, 28, 46 1/2, 65, 83 1/2
These are times when you see your habits, preferences, and assumptions about life and the world confronted. Is like if you were seeing something blurry because you were conditioned to see it like that and then you put on some glasses and can see it now with clarity. You get this feeling like you were lied to this whole time by society about this thing and now you know. Like a 9 year old that just found out Santa Claus does not exist. Or a woman realizing at 28 right before she gets married that the only reason she has been wanting to get married her whole life is because society conditioned her to think she needs to get married to be happy. Or a 46 year who was conditioned to believe that you should never get divorced finally wakes up from that spell, realizes it is a lie and sets herself or himself free from an awful marriage. In a sense is like waking up from a mind fu*k that results in you feeling your are seeing reality now for how it truly is and not the fairy tale version, this can painful when it happens at 9 but empowering when it happens at 28 or older.
With the reverse return it might be more that you’re finding there’s no place in your modern life for your old preferences and beliefs. As you’re a human, you’re going to rely on your habits, preferences, and assumptions about life, but you’re now finding that, at least in some things, you’ve been wrong all along.
Things are coming up now (the transiting SN) that call for you to stretch into new territory (your natal NN). This can be a repeated type of scenario you’ve been trying to avoid lately but just won’t stop, or perhaps people or situations keep bringing up something you would normally opt not to respond to or engage with.
This is a time for leaving behind what you might be good at but no longer works or fulfills you and for being open to new challenges you’d usually try to edit out of your view and not go for.
