Rahu / North node moves into Libra

 

Rahu or the North node, changes signs today and moves into the Libra for the next 18 months. During this time we are all asked to see both sides of the coin, make a fair judgment, look at things from other people’s point of view and most importantly, try and forgive.

With the South node in Aries, during this time, we will need to release some of the anger we may have carried inside us and realise when we react without thinking. We will be asked to learn to curb impulses and exaggerated ambitions. Instead, our focus will be drawn to Venusian qualities such as fairness, balance and beauty.  Everything related to that will be beneficial and have healing qualities such as music, nature, and art.

During this time and depending on where it falls in your chart, many of us will be seeking and even craving the best in one-on-one relationships and more balance in the house ruled by Libra in your chart. Our task is now to learn to share with others and get to know the other’s likes, dislikes, quirks, habits, routines, hopes, wishes and fears. Ultimately, lasting companionship based on true reciprocity is the goal over the next 1 ½ years, especially with Saturn in the same sign during this time. It’s a time when we can achieve inner balance necessary for us to achieve our goals through partnerships cooperation with others. In Indian astrology, this placement is considered to magnify a passion for beauty, design, harmonious relationships, and social order. Rahu is insatiable and enlarges everything it touches, so some of us may take ‘risks’ and become a bit obsessive in wanting to achieve beautifully balanced, equitable social arrangements. Due to the insatiable nature of the Rahu, balancing multiple relationships, and maybe also keeping up a flawless public appearance becomes crucial.

During the times of the eclipses (as well as give or take a month), we may be confronted with imbalances or our own magnified desires surrounding partnerships, equality and fairness.
