Back in April 2022, I wrote this description about what an eclipse is. (moving it to the end) Two fictional points: the nodes and eclipses. “It is particularly important to stress that when dealing with the nodes, both of them should always be considered, and not only the north node, as it often is done. We’re dealing here with a line, not with a mere point.” — Rudhyar. Back to the future: This year, on January 11th, 2025, the South Node of the Moon entered Virgo, and the North Node entered Pisces. We are probably right in the middle; we’re still 18 degrees, so a little less than the middle, and this cycle is going to end July 26th, 2026. Let’s remember the previous cycle: the North Node was in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo from June 23rd, 2006 until December 18th, 2007. What was happening in your life? Why were you surrendering? Why were you so meticulously discerning? So right now, not only do we have these eclipses in this nodal axis, but we have Saturn, that takes 30 years to come back to the same place, activating these eclipses as it goes back to Pisces. The lord of time has already been a few months in Aries showing us where we have to be based, have courage, become individuated. Suddenly he says “oopsie, I forgot something, I have to go back, try to fetch it.” The whole deal with Saturn going back is not to fall into a role that has been outgrown, like for instance: any role of victimization: poor me, it’s just happening to me, I can’t believe it. Anything that takes you away from your own responsibility and you start blaming even the mosquito that is hovering around your skin, stop it! that’s when you know that you’re going back to the past and it’s not a good place where to be. Facing the Mirror -So what’s going on here? -What’s going on? -Have you done any changes that feel like big accomplishments in the last few months? Have you let go of a lot of s**t that you never thought you were going to let go of? -Are you fed up with certain things in your life that kind of dissolve into a new beginning? Well, hold on to your braces because there’s going to be a little bit of a shake, and we’re going to be thrown back to the past just to make sure that we didn’t forget something. Imagine you’re going back to that rabbit hole that it took you forever to get out of because you finally saw the light, but now you’re given the last opportunity to say: -are you sure? -are you sure? -are you REALLY sure? Because the reset of 2026 onwards, there’s no way back. That’s why I find the coming eclipse so fascinating. Things are happening. I always see things from the optimistic point of view. I can’t do it otherwise. And even in moments of darkness, I look at myself in the mirror and go: Come on, Monika, there’s always another way. Come on, we can do this. So here’s the deal: If you still think there’s a part of yourself that is still faking it and nobody has been able to catch that lie, this is the time for you to face yourself completely in the mirror and go: I can do better than this. I can take responsibility for these snafus, whether it’s in economic decisions, whether they’re relational decisions, information that you got wrong, creative endeavors, how you deal with your personal daily habits, your professional career, how you’re projecting yourself outward, your ideologies, and even how you tell lies in front of yourself when you’re in front of your unconscious. That’s a double whammy: seeing things being revealed to you and then saying, “no, that’s not happening!” Movement = Mutation So yes, we’ve got a little bit of time, five months, which is great, but don’t max it out!!! Can you imagine having second chances in life and then making lists, but not just making lists, enabling those things to happen? As you make the list of what is not happening, make another list of what you’re going to do about it and then project yourself into the future, a year from now, where you’re going to be. Use your imagination, use your feelings, use the power of assumption to get out of this whirlpool, because we can all do that. But it only needs movement. If you don’t move, you’re going to stagnate, you will get caught up in the current. I’ve been doing so many deep studies in resonance and basically I can only reduce it to one word: movement. You move or you don’t grow. Movement equals mutation and evolution. Voices in Resonance “If Pluto represents the soul, as Green suggests, the immutable aspect of the consciousness, or what I term the core of the deep self, then the South Node of the Moon represents the prior life, inter-uterine, early childhood ‘ego’ experiences that have arisen to express those deep unconscious drives.” As Mark Jones writes, “With Pisces the potential exists for this stable identity to surrender to the reality of the soul, the higher self, a transcendent and immortal Being of which individual consciousness is merely an aspect. If surrender is allowed to happen, the person can experience a rejuvenati
