Hello and welcome. This is the Astrology of the Week Ahead podcast and I am your host,

Channy Nicholas. This episode is going to be really short because there's not a ton that's

happening this week, which is actually really lovely. Last week we had the first North Node

eclipse in Ares for a really long time. It opened up a whole

new chapter, a whole new story. And next week we have the very last eclipse that we're going to

have in Scorpio near the South Node for a couple of decades. So we're ending a big chapter next week.

So this week actually gives us a kind of astrological recess, if you will, because there's just

not a ton going on, which is lovely because we can reflect on what happened last week and we can prepare

for what happens next week. We can be in this kind of liminal in between space and have a moment

to ourselves without any kind of major event happening.

In this podcast, we look at the astrology of the upcoming week and how it will be landing for all of us collectively.

So modern astrologers, modern Western astrologers, that is, think of the North Node as the place where we're going. Traditionally, this wasn't the

conceptual understanding of the North Node. Traditionally, the North Node is a place of

hunger and of reaching and of wanting to consume. And this is because the North and South

node are places where eclipses happen, right? So if a new moon or

full moon happens around a north node or south node, there's going to be an eclipse. So eclipses

were thought of as kind of dangerous times because the light of the sun or the moon goes out, gets eclipsed.

And so the ancients thought that there was this dragon in the sky that would consume the sun

or consume the moon during an eclipse. And the north node is the hungry head of the dragon. It is the part of us or part of life
