PSA: A major yet underappreciated astrological event is going to occur: The Nodes of Destiny will change signs on May 5. ICYDK, the Nodes of Destiny (also known as the Nodes of Fate, the Lunar Nodes, or, less dramatically, the North and South Nodes) are two mathematical points in the sky that reflect the Sun, Moon, and Earth’s relationship. The North Node in astrology represents the traits we need to develop in order to progress, whereas the South Node represents the virtues that come naturally to us…and on which we may place too much reliance.
The Nodes change signs and go backward every one and a half years (yes, they’re “naturally retrograde”). When this happens, they tell us what we need to work on in our life over the next year and a half, as well as what we need to let go of. Basically, we’re being compelled by cosmic forces to abandon old viewpoints and adopt new ones.
The Nodes of Destiny will enter Gemini and Sagittarius on May 5 and will remain there until January 18, 2022. The North Node (which represents what we need to add to our lives) will be in Gemini, so we’ll need to focus our energies on intellectual growth, communication improvement, and letting go of fears. As the South Node moves into Sagittarius, we’ll have to let go of the need to be “correct” all of the time and focus on the details (rather than forgetting them when looking at the big picture). Because the Nodes work together, it’s critical to think about them both. Instead of giving too much emphasis to the future or the past, work to balance them out.

What does Gemini’s North Node mean?
Communication and learning are the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius. Your life goal could include teaching, learning, writing, and conveying a message if you were born with a Gemini or Sagittarius north node. These lunar nodes are always collecting and spreading information. They are the most social of all nodes, with a diverse group of friends and acquaintances.
Sagittarius is the global ambassador, while Gemini oversees local travel and familiar faces. If your north node is in Sagittarius, you may feel more at ease with a small group of people who know who you are. Traveling (which is controlled by Sagittarius) can make you apprehensive, especially if you’re young. You can even have a fear of flying. However, when you engage the larger universe, you experience tremendous spiritual growth. Gemini is the Twins’ sign, and Gemini south nodes are always looking for someone who “gets” them. These individuals must push themselves to stretch out and take risks without the support of a reliable wingman. Gemini is the sign of the hands, and these south node individuals may be gifted with them, working as artisans, musicians, authors, or hands-on healers.
Gemini south nodes may have used their verbal prowess to manipulate others in previous lives. Some of them may have been outright liars, minor robbers, or con artists. (Many Gemini south node individuals admit to minor stealing or continuous lying as children!) They must keep an eye on a tendency to distort words or play with people’s thoughts during this lifetime. Others may become victims of deception as a result of skilled manipulators and guru figures. Cultivating the Sagittarius north node attributes of honesty and big-picture vision can assist these individuals in rising to their highest selves and releasing the karma of previous lives.
People born under the sign of Gemini have the polar opposite problem. They’ve traveled the globe, made new friends and lovers in each port, and now must learn to stay put! If your south node is in the earth sign of Sagittarius, you’ve lived many lives as a “Marco Polo” adventurer or a lofty ivory tower academic. The task for the Gemini north node person is to establish roots. They’re also learning to look at the world from a straightforward, common-sense standpoint, rather than constantly philosophizing. They should live by the acronym K.I.S.S. (“Keep It Simple Sweetheart”).
Gemini north nodes, who are always on the move, may find it difficult to settle into a community. Many people born under the sign of Gemini prefer to reside in big cities or university towns. Their careers may include travel, foreign language, or publication, and their wanderlust hits frequently. They thrive in an environment dominated by Sagittarius, which is associated with greater learning and foreign influences. Gemini is the zodiac sign of communication. People born under the sign of Gemini are studying the skill of communication rather than one-sided conversation. They may have trouble dealing with Sagittarius’ inclination for bluntness and arrogance. Active listening and mirroring are two interpersonal communication abilities that the Gemini north node needs to improve. (Fortunately, they may satisfy their Sagittarius south node’s need for knowledge by attending workshops on these themes!)
When did the North Node of Gemini occur?
The North Node enters the inquisitive Sign of Gemini on May 5, 2020, signifying a shift in the collective’s priorities toward curiosity, openness, and new connections. At the same time, the South Node enters Sagittarius, indicating a release of abstract higher knowledge and rigid belief systems.
What is the Gemini North Node’s house?
Our South Node is in Sagittarius, with the North Node in Gemini. Our South Node is in the ninth house, with the North Node in the third.
Some of the faults this perspective highlights are a tendency to have convictions and attitudes without acquiring evidence, to be self-righteous and run roughshod over others’ feelings, to rush through life and have extra nervous energy, and to lack tact in our relationships with others.
With this mindset, we are easily shattered by phantom pressures, and we are always in a rush, fearful of losing our freedom if we take the time to gather data and study the nuances of daily life.
We must learn to listen to others in order to appreciate the significance of genuine conversation and exchange, as well as to see both sides of a situation rather than hurling dogma at others.
We want to engage in meaningful and informative conversations with people, as well as teach others. However, in order to be successful in these endeavors, we must understand that meaningful learning and exchanges can only occur when we listen to others.
Slowing down, being aware of social graces and networks, and sensitizing ourselves to others’ needs and communications without fear of being tied down will help us relieve some of our nervous tension and attain greater happiness and inner harmony.

What does Gemini’s South Node mean?
With a Gemini south node, you’ve had many prior lives as the everlasting student, someone who flits from interest to interest, never diving too deeply into any one subject. You’re used to being known and recognized in your neighborhood for something, so you’re less likely to venture beyond the people and places you know.
You’re less inclined to venture out and become a small fish in a vast pond, preferring to keep to your own waterways and lakes! Your Sagittarius north node, on the other hand, will not be fulfilled in this lifetime unless you have exhausted all possibilities and broadened your views.
Because the Sagittarius north node person needs this non-attachment mindset to achieve the priorities that are a part of this person’s journey, your south node in Gemini serves you well. In order to find a deeper truth and knowledge in life, a Gemini south node and Sagittarius north node person will need to transition from everlasting learner to eternal teacher.
