Evolutionary Astrology

What is Evolutionary Astrology?

Evolutionary Astrology is a type of astrology that focuses on the growth and evolution of the soul.

This astrological lens is a powerful tool for gaining insight into your unique soul’s journey, both in this current lifetime and linked to your karmic or ancestral past.

Each individual birth chart is a cosmic map which allows us to see where we are coming from and where we are going at the soul level.

The Nodes of the Moon are a significant part of this map, to which Evolutionary Astrology gives great weight.

One window into understanding how our past has shaped us opens through the South Node of the Moon.

What did we bring with us into this present life, perhaps from past life experience or ancestral energies passed down through the generations?

Through the South Node and associated planets, we discover gifts and wisdom we bring in from the past. This part of our birth chart also shows us unresolved wounds and limiting patterns that tend to repeat and keep us stuck or tangled up in behaviors that lead to suffering. These pain points of the South Node are ripe and ready for healing and positive change this time around. The North Node is the intervention.

The North Node of the Moon is directly opposite the South Node and represents the remedy, the healing and resolving medicine needed in the here and now to gain freedom from the painful repetition of the past.

The freeing up of our “karmic knots” has a liberating effect upon our whole personality and allows for new currents of energy to flow in the direction of our soul’s expansion.

When we cultivate the energies of our North Node, we naturally come into ways of being that give us a greater sense of freedom, ease, vitality and joy.

Jessa’s Approach to Astrology

“Thank you so much for such a profound, healing, affirming experience today! I am amazed by the energy, joy, and freedom I feel from our work as well as the welcome grief of feeling how hard it has been to be in my karmic patterns. I deeply appreciate your incredible gift and will be carrying gratitude for you as I move towards my North Node!”

–Kate Gerwin

In my birth chart reading with Jessa, I learned about something I had never heard of before—my South Node and my North Node. While the terminology was new to me, the energy certainly was not; as Jessa explained the energy behind my South Node placement, I could easily identify with it and see how that pull (of so many lifetimes) wove its way into my experience. I also learned that I was working to transform those South Node energies, and that my North Node pointed the way. The North Node is a road map of attitude, behavior, values and ways of being that can counteract all those old South Node tendencies. An evolutionary road map if you will…a guidance for transformation.”

–Carol Hicks

“Wow! I’ve had multiple astrology readings by different people throughout my life and this one was unlike any of those. It felt like someone was reaching into the deepest parts of me, pulling out pieces of my heart and soul that I thought were lost or forgotten. It was a sweet reunion with my own wisdom, my power, my journey. What an incredible gift!”
