Breaking down the articulation between Saturn-Uranus and the Lunar Nodes in 2022
THE TECTONIC DANCE
Saturn in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus – 2021 and 2022
Saturn comes from having marked the Great Mutation at 0º Aquarius, with his conjunction to Jupiter in December 2020, which relates to an 800-year cycle, and – whilst still transiting in Aquarius – he squares the dispositor (ruler, host) of the Great Mutation, Uranus in Taurus.
Uranus calls for detachment and is the signifier of changes and the breaking of patterns. Taurus is about matter, material goods, money, finance and economics. Uranus in Taurus speaks of detachment of matter, materialization of advanced technology, digitalization of money, and of changes in finance and economics. Saturn is the signifier of structures. In Aquarius, he is very much concerned with the social sphere. Saturn square Uranus means structural changes, the breaking of the tectonic plates, which opens the space for dance into a new world-system.
The Saturn-Uranus square, a dance of the tectonic plates that speaks of structural changes, meets the Lunar Nodes in Scorpio-Taurus, the Nodal Shifting Groove that signals the weakening of speculation and manipulation; and the strengthening of what is concrete and what is consistent. Hence a Tectonic Shift occurs, intricately related to the great economic changes.
This aspect stays within a one degree orb in 2021 and 2022. The three exact hits occur in February, June and December of 2021. Although there is no exact hit by degree and minute in 2022, the square not only remains active by the one degree (partile) orb until the second half of 2022, but it also gains expression, due to the fact that the Lunar Nodes encounter Saturn and Uranus by hard aspects (square, conjunction and opposition).

THE LUNAR NODES GROOVE or THE NODAL SHIFT GROOVE
In the Financial and Economic Axis
South Node in Scorpio and North Node in Taurus – Dec 23, 2021 to Jul 12, 2023
The North Lunar Node in Taurus favors that which is tangible and has concrete effects. The South Lunar Node in Scorpio, on the other hand, indicates that speculation and manipulation are at the weakening pole, and do not pay off. The key now is consistency.
If you have the means, buying precious metals is advisable – astrologically as well. I suggest physical gold, when possible. Physical silver too. Commodities and real, tangible resources literally matter. Matter is energy and energy matters – tons. Uranus, ruler of energy, is also in Taurus.
The Lunar Nodes transit always in retrograde motion, for they operate from a different dimension and bring perspective. Marking where the paths of the Moon and the Sun meet, thus where eclipses occur, the Lunar Nodes are connectors and shifters. As a compass, they point the way, diminishing at the South (tale of the dragon) and highlighting at the North (head of the dragon). Pointing the way, they can work as shifters, indicating the right path ahead, and can shift personal and collective destinies.
The combination of the Tectonic Dance and the Lunar Nodes transit brings about the Tectonic Shift.

THE TECTONIC SHIFT
Whilst transiting in the axis of Scorpio-Taurus, the Lunar Nodes aspect Saturn, by squares, and Uranus, by opposition and conjunction.
The exact square between Saturn and the Lunar Nodes takes place in Abril (exact on the 21); and the Uranus and North Node conjunction (and South Node opposition) happens in July and August (exact on Jul 26). The eclipses in April-May and October-November very much activate this configuration, which is, however, also triggered by additional shorter transits to these points by other players, such as Mercury, Venus, or the Moon. Hence, it is active throughout 2022.
As the Tectonic Dance of the Saturn-Uranus square meets the Lunar Nodes Shifting Groove in Scorpio-Taurus, the Tectonic Shift takes place.
The weakness of speculation and manipulation is perceived (South Node in Scorpio); and the strength of the concrete and consistent is felt (North Node in Taurus); whilst structural changes take place (Saturn-Uranus square).
As the different astrological points traveling in the sky touch by aspects this configuration, small or larger movements occur in the world, which together drive structural changes in the system with massive financial and economic effects.
