South Node in Virgo/North Node Pisces: Jan 11, 2025 – July 26, 2026
Welcome to karmic territory, the South Node. If you have been feeling the pressure to perfect, please, or micromanage every detail, the South Node in Virgo might be ringing your soul’s doorbell. Wherever this shows up in your chart during this 18-month transit, it brings a universal message: release the old patterns—and realign with something more divine. (There’s also a video on my YouTube channel going into this!)
When it’s in Virgo, the nit-picking, problem finding, ‘I’m just telling you for your own good’, perfectionist traits have the spotlight on them. Let go or get dragged. Criticizing? We don’t know her. That stain on your date’s shirt that’s staring you in the eye? What a fun lunch they must’ve had. That glaring spelling error on a paper? Don’t make a federal case.
Because remember, when we point a finger at another we have three others pointing back at us. If you spot it you got it, and when its in a Karma position like the South Node, it’s in your interest to NOT see it. If you see something maybe do NOT say something (unless it’s literal life a death and not a fashion crime.) Discernment is the key word. Discern.
Grace. Compassion. Humility.
We all have Virgo somewhere in our chart. So yes, this is for you even if it’s not your sun sign. (But also send to all Virgos you know cuz they could use this intel.)
Since Blake Lively has a Virgo Stellium, we are going to learn from and highlight a Virgo to learn from. I wrote an article about her Chiron position – that she shares with Harry’s wife – amidst all this as well, so read about that clutch astro insight, too.)
💫 Case Study in Virgo: Blake Lively and the “Perfection Projection”
Let’s just acknowledge: Blake Lively has a Virgo pentapack—Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars—all in Virgo. Translation? She’s not just a Virgo; she is Virgo. And yes, it’s her late behavior highlights that have us talking about her here. She’s shown us all sides of that energy over the years: detail-oriented fashion choices, curated perfection, and moments where you can feel the pressure that kind of internal standard-setting creates (criticism of self and others being one).
No shade here, only compassion. And learning. Because haven’t we all postponed a big move or conversation while fixing one more tiny thing? Virgo wants to get it right. Blake’s frequent headlines about wardrobe choices and film production timing are perfect metaphors. If you spot it, you got it.
This isn’t about celebrity gossip—it’s about seeing ourselves in each other. We can all learn from Blake’s public-facing Virgo moments. There’s beauty in the attention to detail, but when it tips into control or anxiety, the South Node says: “Let it go. You don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.”
She’s said some alarmingly cruel things in interviews, but who hasn’t tried to deflect from their own pain/fears/insecurities onto others? Who hasn’t been harsh towards another? Real talk: we all have. And do. Just watch the news. And if you think you’re not them, how are you talking about them? Yes, it’s cringe to watch her in those moments, but that’s because if we are honest we are judging her for what we have all done. How about we stop that in ourselves, and allow grace where people err. Judging is a Virgo trait that can alchemize into discernment as well as helping, healing and love. Helping, healing and love are also Virgo traits so let’s turn up the volume on those, shall we?
But here is the thing: with the South Node now in Virgo, we are being called to lovingly release these unhealthy habits in ourselves—the over-correcting, the editing, the pressure to manage everything into flawlessness. Where we are pushing to be perfect is not helpful. It’s not about doing. Be.
Blake’s hyper-visible Virgo-ness is not a criticism—it is a mirror. She reminds us that perfection can be both beautiful and burdensome. That managing all the details might give us a sense of control, but it can also disconnect us from flow, faith, and the bigger picture.
So when you catch yourself in Virgo overdrive?
✨ Pause.
✨ Laugh (gently).
✨ Ask: Is this helpful—or just habitual?
✨ Then pivot toward Pisces North Node energy: compassion, surrender, and ease.
And if your inner Virgo is still twitching? Try whispering: “We are not doing it messy—we are doing it real.” That usually calms her down.
What Is the South Node in Astrology?
In evolutionary astrology, the South Node represents your karmic comfort zone. (And remember, especially as I’m writing this in Taurus Season: comfort kills.) It is the energy you come into this life already knowing—deeply familiar, often overused.
Think of it as soul muscle memory.
But familiarity does not always equal alignment. Growth requires movement. Which is where the North Node comes in—the cosmic compass pointing to your soul’s next frontier.
♍️ South Node in Virgo: The Karmic Perfectionist
If the South Node is in Virgo—whether in your natal chart or in the sky—it suggests you are working through lifetimes of being the fixer, the helper, the analyst. You are skilled, efficient, service-oriented.
But the shadow?
• Over-functioning to feel worthy
• Self-criticism masked as “standards”
• Anxiety dressed up as productivity
• Judging yourself (and others) by impossible benchmarks
• Obsessing over routines, wellness, or getting it “just right”
• Giving so much, you forget you are magic
Virgo is sacred. But when it overextends? It becomes a cage made of to-do lists and tension.
☊ The North Node in Pisces: Soul Surrender
The invitation now is to balance Virgo precision with Pisces permission.
Where Virgo says, “Fix it.”
Pisces says, “Let it flow.”
Where Virgo controls, Pisces trusts.
Where Virgo edits, Pisces channels.
This is not about abandoning structure—it is about softening your grip. Letting divine timing work its quiet magic.
Signs you are embodying Pisces North Node energy:
• You trust the unknown
• You create from inspiration, not pressure
• You rest—and feel no guilt
• You let your intuition lead
• You trade perfection for presence
🔮 How to Face South Node in Virgo Energy
Here are a few soulful ways to integrate this 18-month transit:
1. Notice Where You Are Over-Perfecting
Is something never “ready”? Are you stressed endlessly? Virgo loves excellence—but done is divine.
2. Rest on Purpose
Schedule nothing. Let the dishes sit. Let the mess be holy. Pisces reminds us and Virgo can learn: you are worthy even when you are not “productive.”
3. Create Without Planning
Hard for Virgo, healing for the soul. Free-write. Paint. Move. Forget the outline. The muse lives in the mess. Be for the sake of being.
4. Reclaim Your Inner Mystic
Virgo organizes. Pisces channels. Meditate. Pull cards. Take a salt bath. Make creativity a ritual again. Be. Allow.
5. Forgive Yourself for Not Being Perfect
Your soul did not come here to be flawless. It came to be real, radiant, and beautifully unfinished.
How to work with this Virgo South Node transit (and survive it gracefully)
Here’s how to begin unwinding old Virgo patterns in this portal:
- Audit your inner critic.
Virgo loves improvement, but when it turns inward, it can become cruel. Replace “what’s wrong with me?” with “what needs care or support?” - Be less efficient. On purpose.
Do something badly—cook a meal without measuring, write without editing, dress without checking the mirror. Start something new – take a class? – and be terrible at it! See how freeing imperfection can be. - Delegate more.
Virgo often clutches every task because “no one else will do it right.” But the healing lies in collaboration—even if it’s messy. - Cleanse, but not obsessively.
Yes, clear your inbox or your kitchen drawer. But when you feel the spiral into compulsion, pause. Order is not the same as peace. - Honor the sacred in the small.
Virgo rules ritual, health, and service. Focus on what is truly meaningful—not just what looks good on paper.
✨ Virgo Reminder: You Are Not Broken, You Are Remembering
The South Node in Virgo reminds us that control is comforting—but not always healing. Perfection is admirable—but not necessary.
Blake Lively, in all her Virgo glory, shows us both the brilliance and burden of trying to get it right. But this is not about her. It is about us. Every time we try to curate our lives to fit an ideal, the cosmos gently invites us back to our humanness.
This is your permission to let go. Trust a little more. And step into the mystery.
Because the muse aka the answers?
She is not in the spreadsheets.
She is in the in-between.
And she is waiting for you.
