Increasing emphasis on the Lunar Nodes in personal horoscopes.

For quite some time, the Sun sign has reigned supreme in popular astrology, at the center of personality. However, there's a growing understanding and appreciation for the significance of the Lunar Nodes – the North Node and the South Node – and their profound influence on our life's journey.

The Nodes aren't planets but rather points in space where the Moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic (the Sun's apparent path). The South Node represents our karmic past, our comfort zone, and the patterns we tend to fall back on. It highlights talents and skills we've mastered in previous lifetimes (or earlier in this one) but can also indicate areas where we might get stuck or resist growth.

Conversely, the North Node points towards our evolutionary destiny, the lessons we're here to learn, and the qualities we need to cultivate to achieve greater fulfillment. It often feels unfamiliar and challenging, pushing us outside our comfort zone. Think of it as our soul's compass, guiding us towards new experiences and a more authentic expression of ourselves.

This rising interest in the Nodes reflects a deeper desire for self-understanding beyond basic sun sign traits.
