Major Lunar Standstill…Rare Celestial Event

The numerology of 2025 is a 9-year, symbolizing completions, contemplation, and endings. This energy aligns with significant astrological shifts occurring this year, including the nodes of fate changing signs. The north node moves into watery Pisces, while the south node steps into earthy Virgo, completing a cycle that began 18.6 years ago.

Think back to 2006 and 2007: What lessons did you learn during that time? These themes are likely to resurface, offering insights and opportunities for growth over the next year and a half.

As the north node changes signs on January 11, it crosses the Aries Zero Point heralding a lunar standstill—an 18.6-year cycle celebrated since ancient times.

While many gather at Stonehenge for the summer solstice, this sacred site is also thought to align with the lunistice— the moon’s standstill. Other ancient sacred sites, such as the Callanish Stones in Scotland, the Carnac Stones in Brittany, and Chimney Rock in Colorado, are also believed to mark this lunar phenomenon.

On January 13, the Cancer full moon will shine brightly, marking the zenith of the lunar standstill -- the most northeasterly moon rise of the cycle. If skies are clear, observe the moon’s position in relation to your land’s topography. You could even create your own lunistice marker or sacred space in your garden to honor and follow this celestial event.
