4 Zodiacs With Good Karma Coming Their Way For The Next 18 Months

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to the cardinal signs—Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn—that they have been undergoing the most external change and reorientation over the past eighteen months. The lunar nodes have been transiting the Aries-Libra axis, emphasizing the themes associated with both: war and peace, vigilantism and justice, autonomy and partnership.

The cardinal signs will be relieved to know that their time in the throes of karmic transformation is coming to an end. (At least for now. The nodes, in another eighteen years, will return to the same axis, and re-emphasize some of the same themes both individually and collectively.)

It’s important to know that, unlike the celestial bodies usually discussed here, the nodes are always moving in retrograde motion, meaning that the beginning of a new nodal chapter begins at the critical 29th degree of a sign.

Early in the morning on January 29, that is exactly what will happen: at 1:50 AM EST, the North Node will retrograde to 29° Pisces. Exactly opposite on the zodiac wheel, the South Node will stand at 29° Virgo.

Today marks the beginning of a new eighteen-month chapter that will exert particular influence over the mutable signs. Known for their adaptability, the four mutable signs are likely to feel invigorated under this energy.

Pisces rules all things mystical and unknown, making it an excellent time to dive into new spiritual and creative practices. Virgo, on the other hand, is associated with detail-oriented research and study.

The blend of these two, on a collective level, are likely to kickstart a major healthcare system overhaul, with more people choosing holistic medicine over long-trusted pharmaceutical companies. Tentative experimentation with microdosing is also likely while Saturn remains in the sign of Pisces, restricting over-reliance on alcohol and drugs but suggesting a more cautious and balanced form of indulgence.

If you have personal planets anywhere near the final degrees of Pisces or Virgo, you’re almost guaranteed to feel this shift immediately, but even if you don’t, over the course of the next eighteen months you will inevitably experience a conjunction between your personal placement and the nodes.

If you have any of the following four mutable rising signs, a specific area of your life is about to undergo a serious overhaul until August of 2026. Here’s a brief glimpse at what you can expect.

Gemini.

With Pisces ruling your tenth house and Virgo your fourth, you will feel pushed to start chasing new roles in professional leadership, at times making the difficult choice to put your career ahead of your family. While some of your old private habits may need to change (for instance, being overly critical of your family or demanding absolute cleanliness around the house) in order for you to reach your most powerful and creative self, it’s never a good idea to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Take this time to design an organized and efficient home office space for yourself, where you can do the work in private that will elevate you to success in public. With a place to ground yourself at home, you can rise to the unknown.

Virgo.

Pisces rules your seventh house and Virgo your first, so this next era of your life will be characterized by compromise in your closest personal relationships. While you have learned a great deal about individuation and you are not afraid to be your most authentic self, the next phase will force you to yield to others and be less resistant to their suggestions. Creative partnerships will thrive during this time as long as you humble yourself enough to recognize that sometimes two heads really are better than one. Romantic relationships will be tested and ultimately solidified, with some of you ending this period of your lives happily married and others signing divorce papers. You will no longer be wearing rose-colored glasses; this time around, you know exactly what it is you want out of a long-term, committed relationship.

Sagittarius.

Since Virgo rules your tenth house, you’ve probably learned over your lifetime that slow and steady wins the race. You show up to work prepared to be productive, bringing a uniquely detail-oriented approach that others admire. However, with Pisces ruling your fourth house, your time in the spotlight is being scaled back. Rather, your attention is now focused more on your home, family, and domestic life. Avoiding the spiritual and creative lessons you can learn from the comfort of your home will only make you more frustrated in the workplace. Some of you will make the decision to take some time off, or choose a job that allows you more freedom to work from home when you want. Some of you who are new parents will go on maternity leave, placing their undivided focus on your new baby while detaching from your professional obligations, while others will return to your hometowns to care for aging relatives. Facing a dark night of the soul or a spiritual awakening? This is your chance to be anonymous for a while, exploring the mystery of faith in private so you can be a kinder, more adaptable worker in public.

Pisces.

Pisces rules your first house, while Virgo rules your seventh, reflecting your need to disengage from others and focus on your self-sufficiency. The upcoming chapter of your life is about restoring balance to your relationships by setting reasonable boundaries: if you are too invested in carrying your loved ones’ burdens, you will inevitably burn out. It is very possible that you have been extending love to those who are habitual takers, rather than givers, and you are close to giving up on people who have been taking advantage of your kindness. While a sense of monk-like martyrdom may lead you to isolate yourself fully, this is not the answer; if anything, this is likely to lead you straight down the road to spiritual psychosis. However, with a reasonable amount of solitude, you can show up for your friends and partner more effectively when you come back together. It isn’t necessarily selfish just to detach a little. Make yourself a priority, indulge in more self-care, and insist on alone time to practice your spirituality and creative hobbies.
