 You’ve heard of your Saturn Return — but what happens when your soul knocks again, not with pressure, but with purpose? In this episode, we dive deep into the Nodal Return, the cosmic rite of passage that unfolds around ages 36/37/38 — a powerful checkpoint that asks: Are you truly living in alignment with your soul’s path? We explore: What is your Nodal Return and what are the nodes? (beyond the astrology jargon) Why it often brings changes in career, relationships, and identity The difference between your first Nodal Return (around 18) and your second (mid thirties) Why this time is less about achievement and more about meaningful alignment Real-life themes I see in 1:1 client sessions and Human Design readings Whether you’re navigating your Nodal Return now, approaching it, or reflecting on it in hindsight — this episode will help you make sense of the deep shifts, honour the changes you’re feeling, and lean into the life your soul came here to live.

There’s been a sudden wave of clients coming to me over the past two weeks — all with the same quiet question under their stories: “What is going on with my life right now?” And when I look under the surface, the answer is often the same — they’re in the thick of their nodal return. It’s a cosmic checkpoint, one that doesn’t come gently — and it’s not supposed to. Because your nodal return isn’t about comfort. It’s about course correction. It’s about remembering what your soul actually signed up for before it came back to Earth. In this episode, we’re diving into what a nodal return really is, why it can feel so disorienting, and how to navigate it with grace, truth and a whole lot of courage. What is a nodal return (human design, astrology)? We have to start with what are the nodes in astrology, energy, spirituality and human design. They're not planets themselves, but rather energetic points where the moon’s path intersects with the sun’s path. These points are closely tied to eclipses and are considered deeply connected to your soul's journey. As I’m recording this, we’re in a fresh nodal cycle with the North Node now in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo (2025-2027). For the past two years, we’ve been living through the Aries-Libra axis (2023-2025). When does your nodal return happen? Your nodal return happens approximately every 18 years when your nodes return to the position (degree, sign and energy) when you were born. This means you have a nodal return when you are around the ages of 18, 36, 54 and 72. Why is your nodal return important? The importance of your nodal return is that it’s linked to destiny. What exactly do we mean when we talk about "destiny"? From a spiritual lens, it's believed that your soul chose to come to Earth with a mission — a roadmap, if you will (your human design). This is the essence of destiny: your soul’s chosen path of evolution and expression. Nodal return and eclipses = destiny Eclipses, which are powered by the nodes, have always held an air of fate. Astrologers view them as moments to completely release control — a time to hand things over to a greater force; to ...
