The lunar nodes entering Aquarius and Leo represent a big shift in the zeitgeist and will lead to many global societal changes in the next year and a half. If we use the mean nodes, they shift signs by May 18, with the true nodes following on May 29. Either way, the nodes are moving through Aquarius and Leo from May 2025 until November 2026.
This marks a turning point in global themes, as Leo represents leaders and Aquarius symbolises the collective. Rahu’s exaggerations in Aquarius signal uprisings and revolutions, as Ketu in Leo suggests disillusionment with leadership and a reckoning for those in power.
Previous transits of the nodes in these signs led to major events in the world, including a massive financial meltdown (2007-2008), huge technological advancements (iPhone released in 2007, and first Moon landing in 1969), and massive changes in certain societies (end of Soviet Union and fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989). While these events coincided with other major transits, the nodes did play their part.
Even without considering these big events in those years, you can see how 1969, 1989, and 2008 were times of great upheaval and change on the planet. In 2025, we’re due for even more change, for better or worse.
We’re likely to see some major technological advances due to AI. We may see further financial stressors, especially as the nodes initially move. That’s because Ketu will join Mars in Leo in June and July 2025. This is a trigger for a financial crash. It’s also a trigger for wars and attacks.
Another timely example of the nodes in these signs is the trial of rapper Puff Diddy, which began the process of selecting the jury in May 2025, just as they began to move signs. Ketu’s transit through Leo highlights issues of privilege and consequence for those in positions of power, including those in the entertainment industry. Ketu dredges things up from the past. We can expect further revelations and a rejection of the dark side of celebrity culture.
Rahu in Aquarius encourages mass movements and a resistance against those in power, while Ketu transits Leo on the opposite side. This will likely lead to more political unrest. 1969 saw massive protests against the Vietnam War. With the added weight of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Pisces in 2025 and 2026, many political leaders may struggle to retain power over the next 18 months.
Saturn’s transit in Pisces, in a square to Jupiter, could be an anchor in an otherwise turbulent sea of change.
Jupiter’s concurrent transit in Gemini for the first year of Rahu’s transit in Aquarius brings a mutual aspect as they look at and influence each other. Jupiter in Gemini can inflate an already excitable Rahu. More information coming out is likely to bring more rebellions.
