{:en} HELLO EVERYONE, As of January 12, 2025, the Lunar Nodes are changing signs. Our new agenda will be the Virgo and Pisces areas. Especially until July 2026, the idealism of Virgo will give way to the surrender of Pisces. All signs will come into contact with deep issues in this cycle that will last one and a half years due to the map dynamics. We should remember that the lunar nodes represent the lessons a person needs to learn and certain patterns and habits that they want to leave behind in the past. Even if it is difficult to go, we should go to the purpose of our...
