Lunar Nodes from Aquarius/Leo to Capricorn Cancer

The Moon’s nodal axis moves from Aquarius/Leo to Capricorn/Cancer on August 21, 2009. This will activate a more sober and serious tone overall. Capricorn and Cancer generally refer to father and mother or at least to parents in general. Themes of conditional father love – Capricorn and unconditional mother love – Cancer will come into play more noticeably in our lives. At best, the roles of parents serve to protect, nurture, guide and direct ‘children’ to what the parents to perceive and believe to be good, safe, right and sensible action amidst simpler joys, fun and play. When this parental intention comes from society in general, it can take the form of new rules and laws, norms and customs. Safety, protection and the welfare of people in general will come into sharper focus. Current aims to reform the medical model in the U.S. are one example of synchronistic events representative of this theme. The heavier aspects of this ‘parental’ theme are likely to produce more authoritative attitudes coming from governing institutions. Since, the North Node is Capricorn; a core emphasis will be placed upon maturity, discipline, duty and integrity. Positively, the next 18 months that encompasses the duration of this cycle will contribute to a more mature and responsible attitude in society in general. At worst, it will produce a more serious and sober mood that dampens otherwise playful attitudes. Much depends upon the attitude of the children as the parental forces are moved to rear upstanding children who are willing to contribute more of themselves to collective needs.
