Wellness: Jupiter in Leo and the Nodal Shift to Leo and Aquarius

Two big shifts into Leo are happening this summer- 2026. Read on to support your wellness through astrology. Topics include: expansion, belief system, heart health, electrons in the body, questions for reflecting on your personal wellness journey.

Jupiter’s transit takes about a year through each sign (give or take) and it will be in Leo from June 30th 2026- July 26, 2027. ♃ Jupiter is the great expander, our belief system and our personal mantra. And passing through the sign of ♌︎ Leo it will be expanding all things Leo; which can be anywhere from our pride, ego, drama and need for validation, to our creativity, leadership and performance to our physical and emotional heart. It will also be useful to check your personal natal chart to see which house(s) Leo tenants to get a wider perspective of how Jupiter’s energy will present in your life. It is interesting that the South node will be transiting Leo at the same time, which you can read much more about below, but in summary it feels like physical heart health is definitely on the menu to pay attention to for the next year and change, as well as working with this energy in the highest way by letting our personal mantra and belief system come straight from our hearts and living by it.

….

The lunar nodes are points in space where the moon crosses the ecliptic, which is the path of the Sun against the background of the stars as seen from Earth. They shift zodiac signs every 18ish months, thus the energy that the overall collective is experiencing kind of shifts with them. In evolutionary astrology the ☋ South Node symbolizes karma and the ☊ North Node symbolizes evolution. Collectively, we are releasing the shadow aspects of the sign that the south node is in, and claiming the “positive” or “evolved” aspects of the sign that the north node is in.

To me, it feels like every 18 months is a great span of time to step back and really check in with where we are at with our wellness/ wellness plan or strategy:

~ What has been going on for you personally for the past year and a half?

~ How has this time been for you in your mental/ physical/spiritual body?

~ Was there anything specific you were focusing on health wise during this period? If so, has it come to fruition? In what ways? If not, what was holding you back?

Since January of 2025 the Nodes have been in Virgo and Pisces. With the south node in Virgo, we have been called to focus on themes like healing the gut, regulating the nervous system, letting go of control and anxiety, releasing criticism of self and others, cleansing our livers and identifying those parts of our daily routine that are leaking our energy.

With the north node in Pisces we have been called to meditation as a practice, creating healthy boundaries, leaning into compassion and unconditional love for self and others, (remembering that you can have compassion and unconditional love while still having healthy boundaries!), lymphatic and immune health, clean oceans (the lymphatic system is like the ocean of our bodies), grounding, trust, and transforming health care systems in a big way.

The really cool thing is the continuum; a healthier gut leads to/coincides with healthier boundaries, lymphatic and immune health and releasing criticism leads to/coincides with compassion and unconditional love, etc.

~Were there any parts of your life that you were called to let go of fear/anxiety/control and lean into trust?

Have any of these themes resonated with you during this time period? I can say personally for me they have in a BIG way and one astrological reason I suspect this is because the nodes have been square my 6th house (also where my sun and mercury reside). The 6th house is the  house of physical and psychological health, day to day routine/work/duties, personal service and personal integration- it is a huge player in our health and in the medical astrology chart. This is the kind of thing we look at when clients sign up for the Natal Chart Delve: 12 session health coaching package. Email me if you may be interested in this!

So here I am, encouraging you to take some moments of reflection on your health journey for the past 18 months; and, if it feels right, to see the next 18 months as embarking on the next phase of the journey with your health. What is your vision for your health from where you are in this moment, what are you ready to take action towards, what are you ready to let go of, and why?

The Nodes switch signs on July 28th 2026. The South Node will move into Leo and the North Node will move into Aquarius. This shift calls us out of shadow Leo and into evolved Aquarius. On the more mental, emotional and spiritual levels we are collectively releasing: looking for love outside of ourselves, the need to be seen for what we create, leadership that is based on performance and validation, not being enough and the need for approval. Leo is ruled by the Sun- the Sun doesn’t need to be seen to shine, it just does and the whole solar system- literally- revolves around it. From these shadow aspects we are moving into North Node Aquarius, which involves sharing one’s unique contribution for the greater good of the collective, seeing the value that each individual is contributing, decentralization of information and ego detachment.

On the more physical level- which is what really feels exciting to me, we are addressing heart health, circulation and the health of the electrical system of the body. (Leo rules the heart, spine and upper back and Aquarius rules circulation, the body’s electrical system and the ankles.) To me it feels like we are moving away from heart health as eating oatmeal (I’m not hating on oatmeal- it is definitely in our weekly breakfast rotation!) and keeping our cholesterol in check and into cardio-metabolic health: remembering that the health of our heart and circulatory system is intricately linked to our metabolic processes, or the way our body produces energy and bioelectrogenesis, or the body’s production of electricity, which is based on the flow of electrons. Remember- Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, which is the planet that was discovered at the same time as electricity.

Some ways that we can support our production of energy and the flow of electrons in our bodies are:

~ Get physical contact with the earth daily. Sitting on the ground, walking barefoot outside. “Grounding”

~ Swim or sit in a natural source of moving water- river, stream, [hot] spring, ocean.

~ Get at least 20 ish minutes direct sunlight as early in the morning as possible

~ Eat fresh, minimally processed foods. (Processed foods and overheated oils contain “free radicals”- this term is just referring to free electrons that can wreak havoc on our bodies balance and flow of electrons and energy production)

~Along with eating fresh and minimally processed foods we must make sure that all parts of our digestion are working properly including: stomach acid, bile, enzymes, motility, gut flora, gut wall integrity and liver health.

~ Strength train/ build muscle

As the nodes shift signs this July, this health coach is encouraging you to drop in with yourself about where you are with your health and what feels aligned to release and to step into. Remember that energy flows where attention goes.

Blessed Be
