At 16:27 PT, the Sun forms a sextile with the North Node, a harmonious aspect that nudges us toward alignment with our higher path. The Sun, our essence and identity, gently connects with the North Node (the compass of our destiny) making this a powerful day for recognizing how everyday experiences shape who we’re meant to become. Growth feels less like pressure and more like possibility. This is an invitation to reflect on the people, especially family, who’ve helped shape the core of who we are, and who we're evolving into.

With the Sun illuminating our path forward through its connection to the North Node, it’s an ideal moment to revisit your birth chart. A chart offers insight into your soul’s purpose, karmic lessons, and the relationships that influence your growth. Today is perfect for identifying how your origins — family, background, emotional history — have shaped your becoming, and how you can move forward with more clarity and compassion.

Growth is rarely loud. It doesn’t always arrive with milestones or applause. Sometimes, it sneaks in through the quietest moments — a conversation at the dinner table, a lingering hug, or a memory we didn’t know we needed. Lately, I’ve been noticing how much of my growth has come through family. Not always in ways that were easy, but always in ways that were necessary.

Family, in all its complexity, is one of life’s greatest teachers. It’s through them we often experience our first examples of love, and also, sometimes, our first lessons in pain, forgiveness, boundaries, and resilience. These are the roots we carry, and they don’t define us, but they do shape the foundation of how we love and relate to the world.

There have been times when I thought growth meant leaving behind certain people or parts of my past. But I’ve come to realize that real evolution often means looking at those roots with new eyes. Understanding that love doesn’t always come in the form we expect, but it always carries the potential to teach us more about who we are.

Today, this Sun–North Node alignment feels like a gentle light shining on those inner patterns. It's asking us to notice where we’ve come from — not with blame or nostalgia, but with curiosity. What have these people, these stories, these shared histories taught us about love? About ourselves? About who we’re still becoming?

Maybe that’s what family is — not just the people we’re born into, but the ones who reflect our growth back to us. Who challenge us, support us, stretch us. Who show us the most raw, real, unfiltered versions of ourselves, and who give us the chance to love more deeply because of it.

This journey isn’t about perfect families or perfect relationships. It’s about real ones. It's about choosing, over and over again, to grow through connection — even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s messy. Because in those moments, love becomes less of an idea and more of an act.

And today, the sky gently reminds us: we are here to love. To receive it, to give it, to grow inside of it — and to let it evolve us into who we’re here to be.
