The Crossroads of Choice

The Crossroads of Choice: September 21st North Node Eclipse are not one-day events. They are thresholds that reverberate through our lives, dismantling illusions and illuminating the truth. The September 21st Solar Eclipse is especially potent because it is aligned with the North Node our evolutionary compass that points toward the future. This eclipse falls at 28° Virgo, tightly conjunct the North Node. Virgo reminds us that growth begins in integrity: through refinement, discernment, and healing. What is fragmented seeks wholeness. What is chaotic seeks order. What is false seeks to be revealed and released.

We are bridging two eclipses, the one that just occured, on September 7th set the stage by helping us release and confront what has been holding us back. It brought hidden truths to the surface and stirred old wounds so we could see them clearly. The Full moon illuminated what has been hidden within and without.  This eclipse acted like a cleansing tide, making space, shaking loose the illusions, distortions, lies and softening our resistance. Now, the September 21st a North Node eclipse builds on that groundwork with far greater force. Where the first eclipse opened the door, this one pushes us through it, asking us to step with clarity and integrity into the path of our soul’s evolution.  Our perceptions cleared, the fog lifted and perhaps you felt the shift in your bones, if not in your dreams. As the lens of awareness widen and was cleaned we now may see things more as they are not as we wished them to be.

A network of intense aspects is forming.  This is no quiet eclipse, the surrounding planets create a crucible of pressure and transformation, this is going to create forward movement so we can welcome into our consciousness.  The next two week, let go and don’t cling, its time to align  and usher in the shift that is occurring.  Ride the wave.

• Saturn retrograde at 0° Aries opposes the eclipse, reminding us that responsibility and integrity cannot be bypassed, we must face without shrinking. Old structures that no longer serve must be dismantled.

• Neptune retrograde at 28° Aries dissolves illusions, amplifying confusion for some, but also opening mystical clarity for those willing to see beyond appearances and will give us courage and the will to forge ahead in the next 6 months no matter what we must face.

• Pluto retrograde at 1° Aquarius intensifies collective upheaval, spotlighting control, technology, and systems of power. Expect revelations that disrupt the status quo, this will be played out in the world stage. We are meant to expand beyond boundaries and leap forward as a collective. Ready your wings, or your Rockets.

  
  

• Jupiter in Leo (21°) amplifies everything. Pride and ego may flare, but the true opportunity is to lead from love and heart-centered generosity. It is here we all can shine, and see that our gifts benefit all of us.  It no longer about going at it alone. Its about collaboration and diminishing competition.  We can honor everyones contribution.

• Mars at 29° Libra pushes relational and justice themes to the forefront. Balance cannot be faked—authenticity is demanded.  Here we are put to the test of balance and justice in all aspects of our relationships and to return to realignment or release.  Its a reset in all major relationships and becoming real.  In the world state is the need for justice for all.  “No one is above the law “  Not just man made law, but includes Natural Law.

  
  

• Uranus in Gemini square Venus in Virgo shakes relationships, values, and finances. Uranus demands freedom while Venus seeks devotion. This square disrupts routines and attachments, pushing us to innovate in love, money, and self-worth. Surprises and sudden shifts may feel destabilizing, but they open space for authentic connection and creative realignment.

  
  

• Mars at 29° Libra opposing Chiron at 29° Aries draws old wounds to the surface, especially in relationships, justice, and conflict can trigger volatility.  Mars provokes confrontation while Chiron exposes the tender spots.  Be aware that emotional sensitivity is right at the surface.  Avoid emotional arguments or outburst.  Together, these planets offer a chance to break cycles of projection and victimhood, turning pain into empowerment. Stand your ground with self awareness, instead of confrontation or wanting to be right.

What we are experiencing is chaos as catalyst, coming together and stopping the divide, these forces create tension, chaos, and choice. But chaos is not punishment—it is catalyst. When false structures crumble, we are freed to align with truth. This eclipse is asking us: Will we cling to outdated illusions, or will we step into the evolutionary path our souls have chosen as a collective?

How to Prepare Leading up to the eclipse, expect old patterns, wounds, and limiting beliefs to surface. Not because we have failed, but because their usefulness of the dying paradigm has come to  completion.  Relationships, habits, and systems out of alignment with truth will fracture, be reframed or end. Practical steps:

• Create ceremony for release—burn, journal, or ritually let go.

• Ground into your body—through breath, nature, or movement.

• Simplify—clear space physically and emotionally to welcome the new.

• Align with integrity—ask where you are called to refine, serve, or heal.

This is a North Node eclipse. It points us forward. Though it may feel destabilizing, it is recalibrating us toward our destiny helping return to our sovereignty and agency. There is no going back—only through. The essence of this eclipse demands honesty, balance, and discernment. It is the end of illusions and the beginning of integrity. The way forward is through wholeness, cooperation, and Unity.
