It sounds like you are talking about the transit nodes as opposed to you natal nodes when you speak about it in a collective sense but it sounds like you are also referring to your natal nodes when you say the nodes influence on you has been released.

Perhaps yes but I think when transit nodes form hard aspects to your natal nodes it does shake things up probably regardless of were you are at in your journey but if you are open to it ofcourse, ultimately you can decide to not respond to the push for change. My chart ruler is jupiter conjunct uranus in the 12th so I tend to respond to the push for change and check in with my higher self a lot around these turning points in my life, change is definitely a theme for me in my life.

Well my nodes definitely explain my strong attraction to my field along with a ton of other aspects in my chart and I knew I wanted to be a therapist very early on in my life and don't regret this at all, I am so glad this is the path I chose and that I had clarity around this early on in my life.

I guess in my case what the nodes were pushing me towards also aligns with my chart overall very nicely and with who I am (values, strengths) so I don't feel a conflict there.

Now when it comes to committed relationships I do tend to feel pulled into different directions and there is an internal conflict and imbalance there that I need to figure out and ties into my nodes since mercury rx rules my northnode and DC and my venus since I have venus conjunct karma and the fact I have DC in gemini and that NEPTUNE is my strongest planet so issues with duality etc.

In my case I have done all kinds of things in my life that very much indicate I do what I want and every year I clear more and more layers of issues that allow to me feel more and more free but there is a final layer I feel I need to fully figure out and integrate but after I may discover a new layer that needs my attention, so we shall see. I definitely do what I want to do and I love the unique interesting person that I am but there is still room for growth and layers I need to shed.

and also Pluto as the king of the underworld can help with that, because the fear of death is the greatest fear to overcome.

Once you are no longer afraid of death, once you can look at death in the eyes, fear can't have a grip on you.

I do have MOON opposite MERCURY squaring my nodes and mercury rules my northnode so perhaps MY nodes are more sensitive to transits than they are for you, I also have PLUTO septile my SOUTHNODE. This may explain why we feel differently about the nodes, maybe they are not as highlighted in your chart. I also have PHOLUS trine and sextile my nodes so a lot activates my nodes that is significant.

Yes, I am talking about transit nodes. Eclipses which are how those nodes clock in so to speak are the biggest markers of change on our planet and they affect our entire collective.

[b]I think perhaps how much I pay attention to transits maybe feels off to you but I check in with what is going on inside of me first and then connect it to astrology, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. It helps me with my reflective process.[/B]

Your nodes will give your life's purpose and path.

My nodes gave me a dualistic path when it comes to career, and I too love both paths, But not the way I used to.

As for you, you are still young. 20 years from now, you might find that you feel freer from the influence of your nodes.

Interesting about eclipses activating the nodes and its impact on the collective.

I wonder if you have perhaps started this process some?

Besides whatever you are doing currently, the following combo can really help this process. Very deep, Love attuned, consistent meditation. Wearing the stone Azurite. And regular consumption of "Mummy food".

Mummy food is a special meal/food mentioned only a few times in the Cayce work for unusually spiritually developed bodies and was said to be almost a spiritual food for more highly developed bodies. Besides the few readings which mention it, Cayce had some connected/continuing dreams mentioning this food. They end up referring to it as "Mummy food" because in the dream, an ancient Egyptian mummy came to life as a youngish woman with very blue eyes, and told Edgar that she required this meal. So her and Edgar ate this meal together as they interpreted the found, hidden Egyptian records.

I've received several guidance messages (some in dreams and some during meditation) telling me that I should be eating this food.

Anyways, the original recipe is from the Children of the Law of One Atlantean and Egyptian priesthoods, and contains an equal mix of dried figs and dates, chopped up very fine, mixed with a little grain of some kind, both in water and cooked on medium for about 20 minutes and then goat milk to cool.

I've found though, that if one has a high powered, high speed blender (we were gifted a Vitamix blender as a wedding present years ago), and really purees the figs and dates, you can get a similar effect as cooking it. I usually do a vegan smoothie where I do about 3 to 4 large dried figs, 6 to 7 dates, some dark chocolate covered almonds, some hemp seeds, water, some vegan protein+super food mix, and some ice (just enough to chill). It tides me over for several hours hunger and satiation wise (sometimes covering two meals when I'm not that physically active), with smooth, even energy.

It is, tis s*x in a cup... ;O

The dark chocolate almonds are a Costco brand that are labeled Girl Scout mint chocolate, because they have some mint extract in the chocolate.

Then the vegan protein+super foods is a chocolate flavor. I'm a sucker for chocolate.

Gotta love a chocolatey chocolate smoothie that is healthy. Keep it in a jug container ready to go and then just stir it and have a cup of it as needed.

Haha, wish I could do that. Unfortunately, though I love chocolate, I have to have it in moderation as it is a powerful stimulant for me. I've had sleepless nights from eating too much chocolate too late in the day for example.

But yeah, would totally do that if I could.

Anyways, the above combo is good if not for the life extension, but more so for helping in attunement. I don't care how long my body lives for or not--I mean, if I'm meant to stay in the body to be of service, I will try (but honestly look forward to a nonphysical vacation). But being more attuned in the meanwhile is helpful.

I know you are a very strong Caycite... Thank you for chiming in. I have not been very influenced by Edgar Cayce though.

Pisces rising here. Since an early age, I have been fascinated by people who didn't fit what society said their age should. I remember growing up a dance teacher in my neighborhood who was well into her 50s and her carriage and physical stamina and fitness won her male admirers from their teens and beyond.

We all age differently. We age according to our ideas of what aging is supposed to look and feel like. Because our bodies are the crystallization of our thoughts.

I have long ago turned off my mind to stereotypical societal messages about aging. I would just say to myself "cancel, cancel" when I heard things that I found limiting or scary about aging.

I have not needed to eat special foods, other than life giving foods: Minimally processed foods of any kind (combo of plants and animal products) will ALWAYS be life giving.

I do find meditation to be important, if only because stopping the chatter of the monkey brain is healing to the body and you can just be there in the PRESENT.

I have a long life addiction to chocolate since I was a child LOL and yes I should probably stop eating dove chocolate at night before bed time.

Yeah, I agree that people age at different rates and that beliefs, programming, and our thoughts can very much affect it, and yes, healthy whole foods also help a lot.

Hi Belage, kind of one of those yes and no things. More so when I was younger. For the last 12 years or so, I've focused a lot more on going within and directly communicating with guidance. If I was a true Cayceite, I would still believe in more traditional and linear reincarnation (as I've noticed many true Caycites do), and I don't--partly because of listening to inner guidance directly and being led to sources that indicated things happen differently. However, in all my searching, I've never found an outside source as vast and accurate as that work. It is mind blowing how much verification is contained in that work.

Ability to find and listen to inner guidance has been perhaps the greatest determinant on my spiritual path.

Yes, there are angels and guides, both living and dead that come into our lives and guide us off whatever wrong bushwacking we are doing, and it is important to listen to their messages. I have had too many stories along that line to ever believe we walk this path alone.

But ultimately, ability to follow inner guidance is what has steadied me. And I don't believe any true angel or guide wants us to be dependent on outside divinity.
