Collective Surrender :: North Node in Pisces + 9 Year
As someone with their North Node in Pisces, and approaching my Nodal Return next July, I’ve been very hyper aware of the theme of surrender since the North Node moved into Pisces in January.
But, I truly believe those themes have been heightened because we are in a 9 year in Numerology.
Through holding space in circle, I’m able to see patterns more clearly and regularly as people share their experiences.
And this year, it’s been loud that a lot of us are being asked to sit down.
A 9 year is a time of release, letting go, karma, endings, dismantling, etc.
And, I think the emotional exhaustion of all of this release and ending is slowing us down even more.
This year isn’t meant for starting new projects.
It doesn’t mean we can’t, but it does explain the collective slow down SO many people have been experiencing.
And as we reach the culmination point, as the leaves begin to turn and let go, we are being asked to slow down and surrender a little longer.
There is always purpose in slow down.
There is always purpose in letting go of control.
Sometimes, we are charging ahead without a fully formed plan.
Sometimes, we are over-extending and over-giving and need to recall our energy to pour back into ourselves.
Sometimes, our true motivation isn’t aligned with what we think we want, and we’re being asked to get quiet and tune into the undercurrent for more clarity.
Sometimes, it has nothing to do with us and the timing isn’t ripe yet. There are other people, places, things that need to align first before we can meet them.
And sometimes, our body is craving true rest and nourishment before entering into a new phase of our journey.
Most of us have not been taught to slow down. It’s always do more, make more, ok that’s done, what’s next?
We achieve, and then we set out to achieve again.
And it isn’t sustainable to be in a constant season of growth.
Plants and animals need time to regenerate and renew and so do we.
And telling ourself we should be doing more or asking why something isn’t sprouting during a 9 year puts so much pressure on ourselves.
I don’t say this to not believe things are possible this year. They always are.
And change is always happening, even if it’s behind closed doors.
But being hard on yourself for your seed not sprouting yet, only stresses out your system… it doesn’t make your seed grow any faster.
I’ve gotten really positive feedback this past week that people have noticed I’m surrendering more.
And as someone so into Astrology, it really means a lot to hear that it’s noticeable. Because to me, it means that I’m leaning into my Nodal energy as the North Node gets closer to its home position in my chart.
But as I’m learning these lessons, I wanted to share a note of validation.
That these next 2.5 months, it’s ok to rest.
It’s ok to release the reins.
It’s ok to take time for yourself and stop striving.
Next year, as a 1 year, will be the time of new beginnings.
And even still, the theme of mastering detachment and surrender will be with us until July 27, 2026.
Trying to control everything doesn’t change the outcome, just your relationship to it.
You still have free will, you still have autonomy, you still have agency over your lite, and you don’t have to clench so hard.
Bracing for impact is what breaks bones.
So, try and give yourself permission to relax these last 2.5 months of the year.
With love always,
