The transit of the North Node through Pisces represents a period of intense spiritual growth and evolution, where the focus shifts from the material to the subtler, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of life.

Pisces is the sign that governs abstract worlds, imagination, dreams, as well as the inevitable processes of accepting loss, surrender, and compassion.

During this transit, both globally and individually, we will be directed towards a deeper exploration of the inner world, uncovering hidden parts of ourselves and turning towards art, spirituality, and humanitarian goals.

In this period, people will face challenges related to surrender and acceptance of uncertainty. Pisces embodies the symbolism of the endless ocean, where all boundaries and definitions are erased, along with the sense of stability that many cling to. The North Node in Pisces teaches us how to develop trust in the flow of life, to release the need for constant control, and to open ourselves to the subtle guidance that comes from intuition, dreams, and the spiritual realm.

Throughout this transit, many will turn to introspection and the search for higher meaning. This may involve various forms of spiritual practices, such as prayer, meditation, yoga, energy work, religion, or some form of mystical experience. Pisces urges us to confront the mysteries of existence, with things that lie beyond logic and everyday consciousness. The spiritual quest will be directed towards understanding oneself as part of a greater whole, where the individual connects with something larger—be it divine, cosmic, or simply the universal energy that permeates all.

However, this transit also brings challenges. Pisces, as a sign of illusions and escape, will present temptations in the form of addictions, excessive reliance on fantasies, or the use of substances that provide temporary relief from reality. People may feel an intense urge to escape from everyday responsibilities, real challenges, and stress, seeking comfort in alcohol, drugs, or similar means. This transit reminds us of the importance of balancing escape with facing reality. It is essential to find healthier ways to cope with stress and pain, using creativity, art, or spiritual practices as a path to healing.

Art will gain special significance during this transit. Pisces is associated with all forms of creative expression—from music, dance, painting, to film and poetry. Inspiration will come from inner worlds, dreams, the unconscious, and the collective consciousness. Much will be said about art as a form of healing, where people will use creativity to process their emotions, traumas, and inner conflicts. This transit will enable artists to explore deeper layers of their being and bring to light works that reflect the invisible dimensions of existence.

Additionally, this period will bring an increased need to help others. Pisces governs compassion, mercy, and care for those who suffer. People will be motivated to assist those on the margins of society—homeless individuals, refugees, the sick, or those in some form of isolation. Humanitarian work and compassion will be at the forefront, with many feeling a deep need to contribute to the common good, whether through volunteering, donations, or community work.

Given that Pisces governs secrets and the unconscious, this period will also bring the revelation of hidden things, both on a personal and collective level. Many secrets, internal or external, may come to light, requiring confrontation with our own shadows and acceptance of parts of ourselves that we may have long repressed. Working with psychotherapists, psychologists, or engaging in dream work can be highly fruitful during this period, as it allows for deep healing.

From a health perspective, the transit of the North Node in Pisces may bring challenges related to immunity, viruses, as well as emotional and mental health. Pisces governs the lymphatic system and feet, so it is important to pay attention to strengthening immunity and achieving balance in the body. Mental health may be fragile during this period, as many will face heightened emotional states and anxieties, making it crucial to work on psychological stability.

Another important element of this transit is the dispositor of the node. Until June 2025, the dispositor of the North Node will be Jupiter, located in Gemini. This adds a special tone to the transit, as Jupiter in Gemini emphasizes the importance of communication, learning, information sharing, and broadening perspectives. People will be encouraged to learn about spiritual themes, to explore different philosophies and beliefs. Communication will be a key tool for development, and many will find answers to their questions through the exchange of ideas and learning from others. However, Jupiter in Gemini can also bring scatteredness, an overload of information, or misunderstandings in communication, making it important to focus on clarity and a deeper understanding of essence, rather than just superficial knowledge transmission.

From June 2025, when Jupiter enters Cancer, the dispositor of the North Node will emphasize themes related to emotions, family, home, and inner security. During this period, people will focus on emotional healing, creating home as a refuge, and building deeper family and intimate relationships. The emphasis will be on protection, care, and compassion within close relationships. People will seek stability through emotional connections and family, but will also face issues related to their inner sense of security. Jupiter in Cancer can encourage emotional wisdom, the ability to care for oneself and others, but also the development of compassion at a deeper level, in accordance with the symbolism of Pisces.

The transit of the North Node through Pisces during 2025 and the first half of 2026 will add further layers to the symbolism of water, which will be a key theme of this period. Water in astrology, and especially in the sign of Pisces, has a deep symbolic meaning encompassing emotions, intuition, fluidity, but also collective consciousness. Water is an element that purifies, connects, but also poses dangers if not controlled. Therefore, during this transit, water will represent an important symbol and literal factor, bringing both opportunities for inner healing and possible challenges related to water in a broader, ecological context.

This transit indicates a time when people will be called to emotionally "dive" into their inner oceans, explore the depths of their feelings, confront unconscious contents and past traumas. Pisces governs the unconscious mind, collective emotional energy, so water will symbolize both individual and collective emotions surfacing. It will be important to learn how to swim through these emotional depths without fear of "drowning" in them. This process can bring significant healing, but also feelings of emotional overwhelm, which may provoke anxiety, insecurity, or tendencies to escape.

Given that Pisces also governs compassion, empathy, and care for others, water can represent collective connectedness and shared emotional experiences flowing through people. Just as water finds its way through the most inaccessible terrains, during this transit people will be invited to connect with others on a subtle, deeper level, where words may not always be used, but emotions will speak for themselves. A sense of community and connectedness through empathy and compassion will be crucial, with water symbolizing that flowing strength of collective interconnectedness.

However, aside from the symbolic meaning, this period may also bring real, literal challenges related to water. Pisces, as a water sign, points to the theme of water in various forms—seas, rivers, lakes, oceans—but also to all that water may represent in the modern world. During 2025 and the first half of 2026, global climate changes and ecological challenges may bring the issue of water to the forefront of world attention.

Problems such as water pollution, droughts, floods, or inadequate access to clean water may become prominent. Climate change may lead to unpredictable water crises, while the issue of protecting water resources will emerge as one of the main challenges for societies around the world. Pisces governs hidden and invisible processes, so there may be discoveries of long-standing issues related to groundwater or sea pollution that will require urgent resolution.

At the same time, water as a resource becomes a symbol of something essential for life, yet precious. People will face the need to think of water not just as a mundane necessity, but as a source of life that requires protection and preservation. Political and social tensions surrounding water access may arise, opening discussions about social justice and equity in resources.

On an individual level, the symbolism of water may also manifest through themes related to emotions. Water is associated with feelings that overwhelm us, and this transit will offer an opportunity to release emotional blockages and allow ourselves to go through a process of emotional cleansing. This is a time when tears are healing, when surrendering to feelings brings liberation and healing. Many will feel a deep need to connect with their vulnerability and allow themselves to be emotionally authentic, even if it means recognizing their own weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

This period is also a time when themes related to oceans, sea currents, and the underwater world will be intensely studied. Efforts may be made to preserve marine ecosystems and raise awareness about the importance of protecting seas and oceans. Pisces, as a sign, also governs secrets, so it is possible that during this transit new insights about the underwater world will be revealed or that some ancient underwater mysteries or secrets that have long been hidden beneath the surface will be uncovered.

As a symbol of fluidity and adaptability, water reminds us that during this period we must learn how to navigate through life with greater flexibility. Just as water can take the shape of any vessel into which it is poured, we too must learn how to adapt to the changes that come our way. Releasing rigidity and embracing uncertainty will be key lessons of this transit. Just as a river flows without resistance, we will also need to learn how to surrender to the current of life, trusting that it will lead us to the right place.

Water, with its ability to purify, will also bring opportunities for inner and outer healing. Just as ritual bathing in water symbolizes the cleansing of the soul, many during this transit will feel a need for spiritual purification. The feeling of needing to shed emotional burdens, old patterns, and painful experiences will be intense, and many will find solace in water—whether through its symbolism or literally, through baths, time spent in nature, by the sea, rivers, or lakes.

The transit of the North Node through Pisces will bring profound changes, and the themes of water will play an important role. This is a time when emotional healing, compassion, creativity, spirituality, and humanitarianism will intertwine to create a new collective consciousness. It is an opportunity to connect with our emotions and those of others on a deeper level, embracing vulnerability and allowing ourselves to flow with life’s currents.

Through the themes of the unconscious and collective emotional energy, we will be called to learn how to swim through life with grace, understanding that the waters of life, both turbulent and calm, lead us to greater understanding and compassion for ourselves and for the world around us.
