This transit affects your urge for self-transformation and regeneration. Conflicts and drastic changes may come up for you during this period of time. You will undoubtedly have new spiritual insights during this period. You are in the midst of far-reaching changes at this time. Feelings of confusion may come up for you during this transit, and you may feel yourself to be in the grip of compulsions of which you had been unaware until the present period. These may be in the category of power urges, or possibly sexual compulsions may come up for you at this time. You may also feel a sense of oneness with the universe, or a heightened religious sense of being an integral part of all mankind. This is a stressful, but also a tremendously important time in your life, when you are looking more deeply into the meaning of your existence than ever before. You may seek this meaning in the realms of occult studies, for they hold a special appeal to you now, in your strong desire to see beyond the surface illusions of your life. Your time spent in these almost religious preoccupations during this period is well-spent, for the very meaning of your life is the subject of your quest at this time.

Things may be a bit confused for a while. You may identify with fantasy or other forms of illusion. Your dreams and fantasy life could actually become more real for you during this period of time than your "real" life itself. Hard and fast logic doesn't mix well with your personality during this period of time. It is a good time to open yourself up to inner explorations, such as meditation or psycho-therapy. The primary truth being urged upon you at this time is compassion, greater compassion for all of mankind. This transit represents a renewed connection with this most basic part of yourself, your loving and gentle nature. If you are able to sacrifice your own ego-needs for the moment, without bitterness, you may well reap the rewards in future of greater compassion both for and also from your fellow man.

You are experiencing a process of emotional transformation of some sort, leading to significant and far-reaching changes. Deep rooted emotions, long buried in your unconscious, may come to the surface of your conscious mind. You may become aware for the first time of old patterns that have ruled your behavior from below, as it were, for most of your life, and begin to integrate these feelings into a broader perception of their meaning for you. These feelings usually persist from childhood, when we wanted something that we did not get, and they may exist in the hidden depths of our being as rage, hurt and pain, or feelings of thwarted infantile desire for power. Bringing these issues to the surface is never easy, and in order for that to happen there usually has to be some kind of drastic force in operation. You may find yourself in the midst of a crisis. Perhaps your basic trust in life is threatened in some fashion, or you may feel moody and irritable regarding relationships, or ancient issues with mother could be reawakened. You need to be calm and examine what comes up for you at these times. An important event is unfolding in your psyche. You are being asked to rise to the occasion, to process the material presenting itself to you in your eternal quest for balance and wholeness so that your life may move forward.

You are likely to be experiencing a process of emotional pain, and a transformation of the nurturing or feminine in you, leading to significant and far-reaching changes. Issues may arise with important female figures in your life, perhaps your mother or a significant other, as well as with the feminine side of your own nature. Something deep inside you, at the roots of your being, is going through a process of renewal at this time. There may be old issues that have been locked away in your unconscious for a long time that you are forced to acknowledge during this period, perhaps there are changes in the way you have habitually and unconsciously lived your emotional life up to now, a way of being that is no longer compatible with who you have become at a deep level. It can also be a time of great joy as you break with the past and come into the glow of a new emotional comprehension of yourself. There may be painful feelings from the past that reassert themselves at this time, and it may also be that relationship issues come to the surface, or perhaps other security needs such as a safe and cozy home life that may be challenged or otherwise changing during this period. The ultimate purpose for these issues arising is to heal them and to abate their influence for negative emotion in your life. Something deep inside of you is adjusting to a new understanding, and you can move into it gracefully if you can let go of the past.

The time is ripe for slow growth in progress toward your ultimate and far-reaching goals. You may feel frustrated by the slowness of the necessary approach, at this time, but your mind is full of caution now and it may be more clever not to go forward any faster than is possible in terms of practical reality. You are capable of great deliberation and persistence at this time, and more conscious of your duty to others as well as to yourself. It is a good time to make plans for the future, as these will be realistic and workable.

Your psyche is subject to a stressful and potentially vitalizing time, as the very structure of your life is subject to painful realizations, leading to great changes in your self-concept. At this time also, difficulties with authority figures may emerge, or your relationship with your father may challenging, or the way you live your life in relation to the structure of society itself may be coming to a point where changes that have been in the works for some time are ready to burst forth into your conscious awareness. There may be old wounds with your father, or with the parental care and discipline you received in early childhood, that re-emerge at this time, hopefully for purposes of healing these issues and the potentially debilitating effects that they may have on your life. At this time also, the self-concept that you have had up to now may be changing, leading to a renewed sense of your own healing potential. Through a slow concentrated effort you may begin to connect with a higher purpose in the work that you do at this time, especially if this work involves helping people to heal in some way, and to grow in their own understanding of who they really are.

For this period of time, you may feel somewhat isolated and involved with your own internal issues. You also will find your relationships in the outside world have a practical side to them during this period of time. It is an excellent time to take stock, as Saturn slows down your process of relating to others. You may need to pay closer attention to these areas of your life, even extending to your values, aesthetic and otherwise. Your values represent what you relate to in your environment. If you work with an artistic medium, you may establish new approaches to your work quite successfully during this period. It is important to slow down in these areas in order to focus on what is most important to you in the long run.

You may find these types of communications seem to come to you more frequently during this transit. You may experience flashes of insight, or moments of great excitement as new ideas break through to your conscious awareness. Also, relations with friends or associates may alter due to these new patterns of thought. You should try to make the most out of these opportunities, and explore the new horizons offered to you, while the visionary energy of this transit continues to influence your thinking.

Usually these types of events point to deeper issues which you may not have brought all the way up to your consciousness, but which remain as a source of irritation and frustration operating more or less unconsciously at a deep level of your psyche.

On the other hand, this may be a stressful time which is ultimately productive of far-reaching personality changes, as you feel yourself directly challenged by inner processes that seem about to overwhelm your fragile ego. The challenges forced upon you at this time can be difficult and painful. You should have faith in your own process, to guide you through these events to emerge on the other side of them, calm once more, and even more wholly yourself than before you went through them

Issues of outer-directed activity are challenging for you at this time. There may be painful realizations around the areas of how you assert yourself with other people and what exactly is your place in the world of activity and outward drive and ambition. At this time, you may also feel that unconscious drives are more powerful than your overt conscious motivations. You may possibly be tempted to "act out" in a wild and independent way that is heedless of consequences. You also have a powerful urge to create at this time, and you need to get in touch with how to use this energy and what it is that you want to accomplish. It is only by going deep within yourself and trusting the intelligence of your own inner awareness that you can begin to heal these issues inside you, come through this period of chaos and enter a new birth of understanding and trust in your own process.

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
You are likely to experience an urge for freedom and spontaneity at this time. There is a genius energy in you, an energy to create new things and depart from the normal run of the mill consciousness in doing so. During this transit your mental creativity and spontaneity is up for a transformation of some sort. Perhaps you will consider launching yourself into new ways of thinking and being, or even alter your lifestyle. There may be changes in store for you that have been waiting in the wings for the right moment to come on stage, new ways of being that would more truly serve the evolutionary purpose that you came into this life to actualize. There may be some pain associated with this type of transition, since any peeling away of old skin is painful, and the process may leave you raw and exposed for a while. But something inside is pressuring you to move ahead, in spite of the consequences, and it is well to heed the wisdom of your soul's higher purpose. You may emerge from your chrysalis with a brave form and new wings.
Transiting Planets

You should go with the flow here, and work with others for this period of time.

During this transit, lasting 2 - 8 years, and especially at the beginning of this period of time, your professional career or your presence on the public stage, even your very self-concept may alter, causing you to undergo a potentially painful period of re-examination and transformation. As a final result, you may come into a better understanding of your true calling, a path that fully expresses the intent that brought you into this life. At this time, the structure of society, perhaps in the form of parental pressure, does not rest easily on your head. You may experience doubts regarding your career or other expression of your public self, or wonder if you truly deserve prestige or honors that you have been given. You have a serious inner purpose at this time, that drives you toward changing your career in a way that more fully expresses your true mission in life. There may be old wounds that seem to inhibit you from fully expressing yourself in the world that come up for you at this time. Issues with the parental care and authority you experienced in your childhood may come up for you during this period. Revisiting these issues can be painful, but when you work through them you will find that you are further along on your evolutionary path to finding your real place in the world, independent of the belief system of society around you, or any other factor that does not emanate from your own inner guiding light.
Transiting N Node in Taurus (2° Tau 05'R) Transiting N Node in the First House
The lunar North Node transiting the first house. South Node transiting the seventh. During this transit, lasting 18 months, you will feel an alteration and eventual transformation in the areas of partnership and close interpersonal relationships, moving in the direction of forming a better sense of your own abilities independent of others. Your entire approach to relatedness is changing at this time. This may well be the signal for renewed vitality in your marriage or intimate partnership, or changes in this area, based on realizations which have been developing within you for a long time. The very basis for relationship may be changing along more spiritual lines. You may be tempted, during this period, to focus your attention on other people, meeting their needs instead of your own, and depending in turn on them for emotional support. You are being called to actualize your own individuality at this time, however, and to leave others to work out their own karma. This can be difficult, but also quite rewarding for you. Changes in your personality in process during this transit may be more obvious later on, with the perspective of time.
