The Maiden’s Gentle Farewell: Venus Conjuncts the South Node in Virgo.

Between October 2nd and 4th, 2025, Venus will meet the South Node of Fate in Virgo. These two lights touch one another only rarely. The last time they stood together in this sign was in 2007, and after this moment, they will not return here again until July 2026, before passing the wheel forward for nearly twenty years.

Venus, in the language of the sky, speaks of love and beauty, of the ways we weave harmony into our lives, of our longing to be connected and cherished. The South Node, often described as the place of release, carries the memory of what has been lived many times before, patterns and threads that are ready to loosen. When Venus joins this point in Virgo, there can be a quiet unbinding, a gentle turning of the wheel that eases us out of what we no longer need to perfect or hold so tightly.

Within a magical forest where fate reigns supreme, Venus dances elegantly under the light of destiny.

Virgo’s presence here reminds us of care, of service, of the devotion to details and the love that lives in small offerings. Yet it can also show where we have clung too closely to self-criticism or the endless need to refine. This meeting asks us to notice where the pursuit of “just right” has become too heavy to carry, and to wonder how beauty might live in what is simple, unpolished, or tenderly imperfect.

Letting go may arrive softly, like a leaf loosening its stem in autumn wind. Some relationships may shift shape, certain self-expectations may dissolve, and a devotion that once felt binding may now wish to breathe freely. These are not endings in the harsh sense, but natural unravelings, the slow release of a thread that has completed its weaving.

Conjunctions of Venus and the South Node are small doorways in time. They do not demand or instruct, but they offer an opening, an invitation to see what is falling away with grace. In this way, love itself is purified, not by control, but by release.

This October marks one such threshold. Next year, around the 11th and 12th of July, the story continues when Venus once more brushes the South Node in Virgo, as if to remind us that letting go is a rhythm, not a single act. And then, the wheel turns away for two decades, leaving us to live what has been learned until the cycle calls again.

Much love to all, Valentina.
