At age 39, we mark the second return of the
nodes to their Natal (birth) position.
This is an important life cycle spiritually, as metaphorically the nodes
are representative of our soul’s journey.
There are two nodes, each exactly opposite the other. They are referred to as the north and south
nodes. The south node speaks of our last
incarnation and indicates what we have brought with us into this life. These characteristics can assist us but they
can also hinder us, depending on how we use the inherent knowledge that we have
brought over from our past.
The north node is indicative of what we
have come into this life to develop and bring into fruition. The north node characteristics are completely
new to us - very unfamiliar territory. Sometimes
the course we take in this life in order to fill our soul’s requirements can be
difficult. We often have some degree of
resistance toward anything new, but life will bring to surface incidents that
can enhance the need to grow and push us in the intended direction.
At the time of the second nodal return, it
is as if a gateway has been reopened and we are re-acquainted with our
commitment, but this time on a much more mature level. The previous return happened about the age of
19 and this period introduced us to adulthood.
From the time of our Saturn return (age 29) until now, we have been
re-visiting our purpose but mostly on a sub-conscious level. Now in entering this new cycle, we are
reviewing our internal vows and making adjustments consciously. We are about to embark on the maturing phase
of these proposed ventures. This cycle
awakens our spiritual quest and the soul’s ongoing climb to mold with our
conscious mind and our intended path or enlightenment.
Spiritually, we are entering into a phase when
one feels compelled to pursue a course of action that appeals to our
transcendent mission. Many feel a strong
push in this direction. Even if they are
not aware of which direction to take; there is a sense of urgency. This period releases us to our purpose which
has been held primarily internally in the subconscious self. The process for most of us is unhurried and
for some even tedious, as there is a feeling that something is happening and an
awakening is taking place, but it moves very slowly.
The next return at around 57 produces much
more significant results as throughout this process we are becoming awakened to
the real purpose of our mission. During
the time around the age 58 we also enter our second Saturn Return which follows
along the same path as our first return experience at about the age 29.
As you can see there are great internal
factors at work and as internal changes take hold, external change is usually a
by-product. There is a greater sense of
destiny with this nodal return, and along with the solidification that Saturn
offers, you will get a clearer picture of the purpose of this incarnation. We will discuss this 50’s time frame at a
later date.
Suffice to say the door has been opened and
through meditation and an acknowledgement of a greater purpose than that of our
earthly existence, we move steadily toward our intended path.
