The south node represents “where we are coming from” in life, and what we should focus on to get us to “where we are going”. The north node represents our “destiny” in life and what will make us feel most fulfilled. Today we will look at south node in Pisces, north node in Virgo.

Those with south node in Pisces, a mutable water sign, have innate knowledge on how to “go with the flow” and let faith and compassion guide their actions. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of delusions, dreams, and self-sacrifice, being a dreamy and passive person is what those with this placement know how to do well. They have an innate trust in the universe and can feel others’ pain as their own.

The downside of this placement is that it can lead to escapism and addiction. Because Pisces loves to daydream, too much emphasis on this placement can lead people to stop participating in society and become isolated. They can also have a hard time taking things seriously and putting effort into tasks, as well as being taken advantage of. Those with this placement should not abandon their recognition of global interconnection and compassion, but rather use it as motivation to take on challenges and be active members of society.

This is where north node in Virgo comes in. Being a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, those with Pisces south node need to focus on realistic, tangible ways to materialize their desires instead of daydreaming. Qualities that can help this process include having a daily routine and being an active citizen of the world. In order to do this, qualities such as setting boundaries and taking care of physical and mental health are required. Many people with this placement might want to “float” through life, but those who can create an enjoyable routine won’t need to indulge in escapism anymore.

Both of these signs are about service. Pisces represents serving humanity as a whole, while Virgo represents service in the form of jobs and tasks. If everyone does their part and completes their personal tasks, then humanity as a whole will benefit and there will be less worry about whether people are being compassionate or not. Since both of these signs represent service, the key is for those with these placements to trust in themselves and go further with their plans and intentions, because they are coming from a place of wanting to better humanity.
