12 Evolutionary Types: Your Lunar Nodes

How to get from where you have always been to where you are meant to be

Evolving in consciousness means becoming more aware of yourself, your

surroundings, and your reactions so you can respond to life circumstances with greater
empowerment and support the unfolding of healing and love in the world around you.

Learning to navigate a variety of life experiences with greater skill and in more loving and
peaceful ways gives life meaning. Depending on your worldview, it may even be your
reason for incarnating.

It is clear that an evolution in consciousness is needed more than ever before. And the
good news is there is much you can do to support a better world. And astrology can help!

The Lunar Nodes in your chart show you how you move beyond survival mode and step
more fully into creative mode, where you get to manifest more of the life experiences you
hope for, dream about, and envision for your life.

The South Node shows your karmic past and what you needed to do in past lives (if you
believe in past lives) in order to survive. You got really good at it but it also holds you back
because it’s what you needed to do to survive.

When you come into this life, from day 1 the South Node shows what you are wired to do
because it’s what you are good at.

Your North Node is your evolutionary medicine. It shows what will help you be more effec-
tive if you step into it, but it’s also challenging because it doesn’t feel comfortable or fa-
miliar. It may even bring up anxiety or fear. It’s important to move into the North Node, it is
your instructions on how to fulfill your soul’s purpose. But because it feels uncomfortable
it’s important to take baby steps and to know that it will happen gradually over time.

dency to hypervigilance or overreaction.
