A current transit reveals how the current position of a planet or point interacts with your birth chart, highlighting areas where action or growth is needed.
A square is a challenging aspect that indicates a conflict of energy between two planets. It is a negative aspect that indicates tension and obstacles in the areas of life that the planets represent.
Although this aspect is present in your chart, it does not dominate your experiences. Its influence is more subtle and understated. This means that while this interaction between the North Node and Ascendant does have an effect on your personality and life path, it is not overwhelming or forceful.
The transit of the Node squaring the Ascendant brings a time of significant tension and growth. This aspect can feel like being at a crossroads where decisions made will have lasting impacts. The Node represents destiny, life purpose, and karmic lessons, while the Ascendant symbolizes one's outward identity, appearance, and how others perceive them. When these two points clash in a square aspect, it creates an intense push to align personal identity with deeper life goals.
During this period, there may be challenges related to self-image or public perception that force introspection and reevaluation of life's direction. There could be moments of feeling misunderstood or out of sync with surroundings. This challenging yet powerful transit encourages embracing change and adapting to new perspectives about oneself. It’s an opportunity for realigning actions with true purpose even if it feels uncomfortable initially. While squares are known for their friction, they also drive necessary transformation and progress by pushing beyond comfort zones to achieve more authentic self-expression aligned with greater cosmic intentions.
