Let Go: Venus Conjoins the South Node

Saturday, October 4

When a personal planet conjoins a node, it’s like a mini eclipse. The nodes are where eclipses happen, and the south node of the moon is the point of release, cleansing, and letting go. And Venus is cozied up with the South Node in Virgo. What do you need to surrender? Where do you need to loosen your grip or sweep away completely? 

As noted with Venus in Virgo, this is not a fun house nor is it a house of pleasure. She’s in her fall, so it’s all substance with a grounded, reliable style. Venus is here to get the job done and ensure we have a well-oiled machine. To accomplish that, anything detracting from the prize in front of our eyes, has to go — ba-bye.

What is not serving you? It’s the question of the season—eclipse season, autumn, and now a conjunction with the nodes. What perfection story are you ruminating on that needs not be perfected? Who are you criticising (including yourself) where criticism has no role? Where rigidity gets in the way? Does that jawn truly need to be just so? Or is there room for flow? What would Juice do?

The planet of vulnerable people and social cohesion needs progress—ask yourself how committed you are to your exact vision of the process? Is it more important to get to the destination or to get there by following YOUR map?

Eclipse season taught us to sit with the mess. To let go of striving. Can we give others the same grace we give ourselves? Or can we give others more grace than we give ourselves? What if we accept what is and just surrender?

This signature is followed in two days by the full moon in Aries on the 6th, another point of release…we’re getting plenty of practice this season. Trust. Flow. Surrender. Let go.
