Two weeks ago – the week beginning the 29th of September – there was a huge shift in my energy that felt like I had been released from a karmic trap, or pattern. This happened right after I decided to leave a particular situation in my life. I wondered if this sudden change coincided with some event in the Cosmos so, I did a quick search online for astrological alignments. I discovered that the planet Venus (Aphrodite) was conjunct the South Node in Virgo during that week, around the 2nd of October. I did write about the North Node entering Pisces at the beginning of this year which placed the South Node in Virgo for everyone on the planet.
Venus deals with relationships of all kinds and what we value, including how we value ourselves (self-worth). Virgo is the sign that deals with practical day-to-day stuff including the work we do, as well as analytical thinking and research. These Virgoan areas of life are the ones that Venus highlighted during her transit in that sign. The South Node is about letting go – Venus encouraged us to let go of people/relationships and the things we do on the daily that damage our self-worth.
Here are some examples of the types of things that may have happened to people around that time:
Folks changed their work practices so that they were no longer being exploited by their bosses, or clients.
Women who realized that they were thought of as nothing but sex objects and domestic slaves by the men they were with, ended things with these men.
Men who want to be more than sources of income, or wealth for their partners, left them.
People who want friends that actually care about them instead of being surrounded by users, walked away from said users.
Others discovered that certain people in their circles deliberately gave them very bad advice which they acted upon and later regretted. The bad-advice-givers did so out of envy, or some sort of deep-seated hatred of that individual and/or their situation. Time to stop taking advice from such people.
The Funny Thing About Karmic Relationships.
Karmic relationships are usually experienced between people who have known each other before in some other life, or lives. If you do not believe in reincarnation then simply view it as patterns that you have inherited from your ancestors, or that you have created yourselves during your lifetime. When one or both people evolve beyond these negative patterns, the relationship will either end, or start over almost as if it had never existed before in that detrimental state. The second outcome is rare but still possible – I have experienced it. However, it usually takes years before this can be accomplished. In the meantime, it is best to stay away from one another. It is better to continue to work on yourselves until you have totally disconnected from karmic cycles that no longer serve you, and that in most cases, you did not create yourselves.
Planetary Retrogrades For The Next Six Months.
There will be several planetary retrogrades over the next six months, or so, that involve certain planets returning to signs they were in before they shifted into new signs earlier this year (Saturn in Aries; Neptune in Aries; Uranus in Gemini). This means that any remaining issues, people and places that need to be released before you can truly begin again, will occur during the next half-a-year. It is the wrong time for new relationships of any kind, including work collaborations. Of course, you have Free Will and you can do the opposite of what I recommend. I am simply interpreting the energy in the heavens as I see it – things will be a lot clearer by May/June 2026.
Neptune in Aries and Uranus in Gemini are very long transits so you will have plenty of time to get things done in The New World.
