What Does Your Gut Tell You?: Predictions for the North Node in Pisces.
Every year, we hear that it’s the year of life-changing astrology with the potential for profound personal and collective shifts. While some of this can be chalked up to clickbait or the nature of fast-paced content creation, there’s truth to the idea that we are living in a pivotal period of human history. Energies are shifting, accelerating, and demanding our attention.
One of the most significant astrological movements in 2025 is the shift of the Nodes of Fate. Beginning in January, the North Node enters Pisces and the South Node enters Virgo, initiating an 18-month journey of profound transformation around health, wellness, spirituality, and faith.
The Virgo-Pisces Axis: Health and Healing
The Virgo-Pisces axis highlights a dynamic interplay between health (Virgo) and healing (Pisces). Virgo governs the physical, measurable, and structured aspects of life—our routines and how we got about them. Pisces, on the other hand, rules the energetic, shapeless, and timeless realms—our intuition, dreams, and spiritual essence.
With the North Node in Pisces, we’re invited to step into its higher vibrational qualities, such as creativity, faith, intuition, and a deep understanding of our inherent divinity. This placement calls us to release over-reliance on Virgo’s shadow traits, including perfectionism, rigidity around methodology, and not knowing when to stop editing (like I, a Virgo, experienced with this article).
Predictions and Possibilities
The Nodal shift will likely bring significant changes in how we view health and wellness, both individually and collectively. The South Node in Virgo asks us to re-evaluate outdated systems rooted in rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches. I anticipate substantial changes in areas like the healthcare system, food industries, and fitness culture.
When we think about how our current approaches to health and healing came to be, we can go back to Research Methods 101. All research requires inclusionary and exclusionary criteria—the variables that will be considered and those that need to be excluded for the sake of the scope of research. At a collective level, I think the South Node in Virgo can point to “new” discoveries in health and healing, specifically by revisiting what was discarded or excluded from previous research. What did we overlook or dismiss as unimportant because it didn’t fit within Virgo’s methodical frameworks?
In medical astrology, Pisces rules the immune system, whereas Virgo rules digestion. This could point to breakthroughs or revelations in how we approach immunity, possibly challenging long-held assumptions or outdated methods that wipe out the immune system (e.g., overuse of antibiotics), without proper follow-up steps to rebuild immunity and prevent ongoing illness. Given that roughly 70% of our immune system is grown in the gut, the link between gut health and immunity may experience powerful momentum within the larger framework of health and healing.
Imagine a world where your doc prescribes evidence-based probiotics after a round of antibiotics (also, imagine a world with evidence-based probiotics). These are the types of shifts to be looking for over the next few years.
Who’s in Charge of Our Health and Healing: A Shift in Consciousness
Another layer of this transit is its potential to reshape the “guru complex.” With Saturn and Neptune continuing their influence in Pisces, 2025 pushes us to release blind trust in authority figures—whether they’re healthcare practitioners, wellness influencers, or other self-proclaimed experts. Saturn urges our discernment when something doesn’t sit quite right, and may also be a link to more open-minded leaders building reliable bridges between traditional and holistic healthcare.
Practitioners and industries unwilling to embrace this shift may find themselves left behind as we see Saturn and Neptune dip briefly in Aries in 2025 — the new energies and worlds await, and collectively we could find ourselves impatient with approaches that feel too dated and slow to evolve. An emphasis on fitness, moving our bodies, and taking things into our own hands will undoubtedly be part of the conversation with Aries energy ramping up and preparing for even bigger roles in 2026 and beyond.
The Real Work Underway
Virgo’s shadow can manifest as a hyper-focus on methods, data, and measurable results, leading to rigidity that can actually sabotage accuracy and information. If there isn’t a way to categorize or analyze something, the sign can experience anxiety. Since the pandemic, we’ve also see a 25% global rise in reported health anxiety, with rates even higher amongst adolescents(WHO). In many ways, health anxiety is a pandemic that stemmed from the pandemic. And that’s a great example of Virgo energy spiraling.
The timing of the South Node in Virgo is an invitation to collectively release these fears. At its energetic core, health anxiety is a fear of getting sick, also implying a fear or belief that one may not be able to get better. At the heart of this work is a return to our very sacred, ancient abilities to know the body well enough to know that it can heal, and to reclaim the parts of us that feel powerless in this process.
