Power, Money, Sex, & Control: Everything You Need to Know About the New North Node in Taurus

Power, money, sex, control! Our body and our soul! Things are about to get really…real. Our North Node, the sacred position of the moon which orients our collective soul expression and karmic lessons, moves into the energy signature of Taurus on January 18th, 2022 at 2:52pm, EST and leaves July 17th, 2023 at 4:50pm, EST. It backtracks into the energy signature of Taurus at 29 degrees retrograde and emerges after a 1.5 year tour of the Gemini/Sagittarius Axis. During that transit, we saw the transformation of fact, fiction, propaganda and ideologies at mythological proportions. We were exploring the axis of knowledge/facts through our wisdom/beliefs.  Our new nodal direction in Taurus, now takes us into the realm of embodiment, form and posessions; sourced from Scorpio, the realm of deep, spiritual transformation. 

There, we will refine our ability to carry over the spiritual awareness of Scorpio into the realm of embodied Taurus. There will be a certain “born again” quality to this emergent energy, because Scorpio imprints transcendence, power dynamics and soul. It is one of the most subtle, yet profound realms of the zodiac and requires a highly refined perspective of understanding. There is nothing “basic” about Scorpio. And humanity is likely to see a deep, perhaps visceral connection to changes in the areas of financial resources (Taurus), touching everything from our economy in general, to shared and private exchanges of money, such as inheritances (Scorpio). Drugs and alcohol might meet a reformation; with some brews becoming more sacred in their approach. We see this happening already with more consciously sourced and low alcohol boutique beverage companies turning out handcrafted elixirs for the conscious connoisseur. It’s also my personal, psychic prediction that psychedelic mushrooms will become widely legalized this year; or at least the legislation for it will be initiated. Sexuality will likely meet some major transformations too, perhaps even related to transsexuality; since Scorpio is psychologically examining and Taurus is linked to literal embodiment. We may see new, more open or defined expressions of sexuality and these could range from the baser, more savage expressions to the truly sublime, tantric and transcendent; since Scorpio expresseses power, control and dominance in its first layer of evolution and a powerful, but spiritually purifying ascension in its third realm of evolution. This stage is often referred to as “the Phoenix rising from the ashes”. That’s right, we’re collectively exploring one half of a hardcore, spiritual axis with not one; but three stages of evolution. It’s going to be intense.

Interestingly, Phoenix Rising is also the name of the new film by director Amy Berg, which just premiered part 1 of the two part docu-series at the Sundance Film Festival, last night. The film reveals the meteoric rise and fall of actress Evan Rachel Wood; detailing the insidious factors of her own underworld; namely as a child star, who later survived years of abuse by her then partner, Marilyn Manson. Her ascent from this underworld is fiercly heroic, as she effectively ushered in new legislation; literally transforming the judicial system by extending the statute of limitations for domestic violence survivors. It was signed into law in California and her non profit organization is working to extend its reach throughout the United States. It’s called the Phoenix Act and to me, this is Evan Rachel Wood’s finest performance, yet. Her experience very much reflects the Scorpionic trials, evolution and salvation with Taurean embodiment of the Nodal Axis we are entering.

“Bad things can happen to you, but you can rise out of the ashes. That is exactly why I named it the Phoenix Act. I do believe that you can come back from tragedy, sometimes even stronger than you were before.” -Evan Rachel Wood

We’ve also seen a headline grabbing expression of our present and emergent nodal signatures by the announcement of Elizabeth II of England to remove all the royal titles (Scorpio) of her eldest son, Andrew, ahead of his arrival to the United States, where he is likely to stand trial for sex crime allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Here, the lowest octave expressions of Scorpio’s “Underworld,” power dynamics and shared resources; are all expressed by the removal of Andrew’s “royally” inherited titles, as he is forced to face his consequences as a secularly embodied citizen. This also speaks to why we cannot trust “ordainment” sourced from feudalism, which is an extension of oppressive and colonizing templates . If Andrew’s titles were so easily dissolved, then how relevant and worthy are these social structures of loyalty, to begin with? And if we were to re-orient our loyalty to ourselves, each other and this planet; we could initiate great healing. Authentic Sovereignty is sacred embodiment and proves the saying rings true: “the chosen ones choose themselves”. I have no doubt the Sagittarius/Gemini Axis moved these political events forward, as we are still in those last degrees. Sagittarius influencing the moral/ideological and very polarized judgement of Elizabeth II and Gemini guiding her very public announcement. 
The essential nature of this transit relates to spiritual or unseen power dynamics activating, transforming and refining embodied structures. Spiritually transcendent and deeply psychological influences are now taking shape and actualizing physical presence in our shared reality. Let’s intend they don’t take absolute hold of our very souls.
