The nodes of the moon represent our karma and dharma, or the sum total of past actions and the path of growth in this life, respectively. In mid-December, they entered Aquarius and Leo and stay until August 2009. Both you as an individual, and society as a collective, are opening to these energies. Think back to previous cycles to get a hint about changes ahead for you: May 1989-Nov. 1990, Nov. 1970-April 1972. Leo wants to play and open hearts, and Aquarius wants to take the service out to humanity in a very large way. The energy ahead asks you to get involved in the world to lead a better way, yet to simultaneously keep your detachment so that you do not get caught up in the melodrama of the world or the people around you. It is time to get creative and invent something colorful and innovative.
