The North Node in the Signs
North Node in Aries
The theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
Note that with your North Node in Aries, your South Node is in Libra.
Co-dependency, indecisiveness, and a tendency for problems in one-to-one relationships can be key issues you deal with in your lifetime. You are learning to love yourself, to trust your instincts, and to lead without fear. Watch for a tendency to fall back on co-dependent relationships due to a fear of independence and of standing alone. Until you deal with these issues, you may struggle with some indecision, and you may avoid expressing your independent wishes and asserting yourself because you prefer the comfort of being considered “good” people.
Learning to act on your impulses, which implies a certain amount of self-confidence, is an empowering lesson of the North Node in Aries. Learning that you can, in fact, live alone, which is a big fear of this position, will bring you to a point where you can offer yourself to others in one-to-one partnership in a more balanced, healthy manner. Striving for internal peace, rather than focusing on achieving harmony and balance in relationships, will improve your relations and bring you happiness and satisfaction.
North Node in Taurus
The theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With your North Node in Taurus, your South Node is naturally in Scorpio.
This position can point to a tendency to define your worth and value in terms of your significant others, to be wrapped up in the needs of others at the expense of your own needs, and to attract confusing and intense life situations at the cost of comfort and peace. Your path is to discover and embrace your own values, to depend on yourself and to establish your self-worth through your own efforts, and to enjoy life’s more quiet moments without the subconscious need to create crises. Watch for a tendency to invest too much time and energy into supporting others, and focus on some level of independence so that you can bring back more balance to your life.
North Node in Gemini
The theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With your North Node in Gemini, your South Node is in Sagittarius.
With this position, watch for a tendency to draw conclusions and hold beliefs and opinions before gathering enough facts. While you have some brilliant ideas, you are not always happy dealing with the details.
You might also watch for being self-righteous and too quickly dismissing others’ opinions, or for rushing through life. You may be in such a hurry or a little claustrophobic for fear of being tied down that you don’t take the time to handle the details of everyday life effectively. Your path is learning to truly listen to others, because in this way you discover the value of authentic communication and exchange, seeing both sides of a situation before drawing conclusions. You can be an excellent teacher and hold far more meaningful and intelligent exchanges with others in so doing. By learning to slow down and take care of business, you are likely to achieve far more happiness and a wonderful sense of inner balance. With your daily affairs in order, in fact, you’ll be far freer to explore and enjoy some spontaneity guilt-free, improving your life all around.
North Node in Cancer
The theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With your North Node of the Moon in Cancer, your South Node is in Capricorn.
You may often seek to be in control, and you tend to take responsibilities too seriously with this position of the North Node. You are excellent at getting things organized, but you should watch for a tendency to fall back on this talent, because if you do, you may become quite rigid or fearful of being dependent on others. Aim to let go of your tendency to over-manage your life and others’ lives from time to time, and to relax your standards of perfection and achievement. When you’re young, you may fall victim to living through the eyes of society instead of valuing your own personal (as opposed to professional/status) achievements, but you grow out of this as you mature, and doing so improves your life considerably. Being dependent on others is a fear, but only when you release some of your need to be in control will you achieve your goals more fully. Work on allowing yourself to be vulnerable, exposing some of your insecurities and personal needs without fear, and making more time for your home and family life. By working on your inner foundation and base of operations, success will rebound back to your public and professional life. Learn to trust following your instincts instead of feeling driven by your ambitions, and you can achieve greater happiness, balance, and fulfillment in all areas of life.
North Node in Leo
The theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With your True North Node of the Moon in Leo, your South Node is in Aquarius.
A tendency to rely too much on others who may let you down, to come across as impersonal or distant in your dealings with others, to be fearful of being the center of attention and standing out as an individual, to fear taking risks, and to fall back on peers and community at the expense of your own individuality are some of the issues this position suggests. With this influence, you should watch for falling into the easy trap of worrying too much about what others think about you. Instead, you need to strike out along your own individual and creative path. You’d be wise to make a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. You might unintentionally alienate others when you over-emphasize equality to the point that we won’t acknowledge individuals’ uniqueness. You may too often be the audience and not the performer in your life! You may too easily lose touch with your own heart by rationalizing your feelings, and you might become overly involved with other people’s problems at the expense of your inner needs for attention. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness.
North Node in Virgo
One theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
Note that with your True North Node of the Moon in the sign of Virgo, your South Node is in Virgo’s opposite sign, Pisces.
A tendency to avoid dealing with the details and practicalities of everyday life, to lead a rather haphazard and unorganized existence, to avoid formulating clear goals, and to put too much faith in a grand plan while neglecting practical concerns are some of the struggles of the North Node in Virgo. With this position, you may need to work on developing some healthy and practical routines and schedules. Otherwise, you may fall victim to vague worries and anxieties. Winging life is fine to an extent, but without clear goals and some orderliness, you may easily feel not very much in control of your life.
You have great compassion for others, and this is a considerable strength. Taken too far, of course, you may feel put upon or taken advantage of at times. Your goal might be to establish limits for yourself and boundaries for people in your life, as well as to develop a more focused mind and more orderliness that can serve to boost your confidence, both in yourself and life itself. You might strive to create systems that will help you to be more productive, and make a point of paying more attention to deadlines, details, and rules that will enrich and enhance your life. Bringing more structure to your life can take you closer to achieving your dreams.
North Node in Libra
One theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With your True North Node of the Moon in Libra, your South Node is in Libra’s opposite sign, Aries.
There can be some tendency to rely on the self so much as to alienate important “others” in your life, to adopt a me-first attitude or philosophy, to take things quite personally, to worry too much about competing or winning, and to be impatient, rash, or impulsive at the expense of your personal happiness with this North Node position. With this position, you might benefit from sensitizing yourself more to the needs of others or working on tact and cooperation. Learning to let go of self-consciousness that may be blocking success can be in order. You might worry that others will put too many demands on you that your independence or freedom suffers. It may not be instinctive for you to seek feedback, as you prefer to act on your own hunches or impulses, but letting some feedback into your life can improve things. However hard you push yourself, your plans may be blocked until you stop to consider the other side–that’s when you let success in. Watch for a tendency to go it alone and to pass up opportunities for growth because you are too focused on personal survival, as your senses may become overloaded, timing is off, and self-justification stunts your growth. If you lack perspective, you run the risk of making poor life choices or getting into unnecessary conflicts. Through partnership and cooperation with others, you’re likely to gain the inner balance necessary for you to achieve our goals.
North Node in Scorpio
One theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With the True North Node of the Moon in Scorpio, your South Node is in Scorpio’s opposing sign, Taurus.
This position can give the tendency to be overly self-reliant and set in one’s ways. You may fall back on clinging to your possessions and habits, or you can be rather fearful of crisis or excessively focused on security. You may default to attempting to achieve your goals through willpower, not always stopping to consider your sixth sense and intuition. Learning to loosen the grasp you may have on your stuff, the people in your life or the methods to which you’re accustomed can help you open yourself to your soul’s needs for transformation, change, and regeneration.
In the first part of life, you may experience difficulties in partnerships because you may expect that others have or should have the same values as you do, but this can close you off to intimacy and sharing, and ultimately compromise the security you so crave. It would benefit you to avoid relying only on your instincts to support yourself and learn to share yourself more often with others. If you remain fearful of taking chances or if you continue to resist change and others’ input, you could find yourself unhappy or limited. Moving out of the seemingly solid and stable material world can seem intimidating. But clinging to things or situations that are either outdated, limiting, or that run counter to our growth will keep you in a state of lack. Releasing yourself from your attachment to doing things our own way will contribute to inner balance and satisfaction, and this is then reflected outward.
North Node in Sagittarius
One theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With your True North Node in Sagittarius, your South Node is in Gemini.
This placement can point to a tendency to frequently overwhelm yourself with information or to become mentally over-stimulated to the point of not being able to make effective decisions. Some with this position often find themselves bound by logic or so swamped in details that they have trouble tapping into their intuition and miss the “big picture.” You may have many things going at once and avoid committing to a particular project. You’re challenged to learn to trust your “inner guide” or intuition, first by connecting with it more often through tuning out distractions. This can be the path to uncovering more meaning in your life.
With the North Node in Sagittarius, you’re learning to put your faith in the universe. If you rely too heavily on logic, you may miss out on the exciting adventures generated from the thrill and satisfaction of following a hunch or a vision. Allowing yourself to believe in something that doesn’t necessarily make sense, but that frees you from mental anxiety and stress, can be a useful exercise. If the challenge is committing yourself to a particular path, interest, or project, the passion of discovery may be missing in your life, and you’ll feel more satisfied if you pour yourself into something wholeheartedly from time to time. Keeping in mind that we cannot inspire others to have faith in us when we lack faith in ourselves, you might consider working on building your intuition and trust, allowing yourself to act bravely and impulsively sometimes, and freeing yourself from an overly doubting, logical mindset. These seem to be the right way to finding the right inner balance that enriches your life and soul.
North Node in Capricorn
One theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With the True North Node in Capricorn, your South Node, which is always directly opposite the North Node, is in Capricorn’s opposite sign, Cancer.
This North Node placement can point to a tendency to be very attached to your childhood and past, to avoid accepting responsibility for your lives at times, to limit your opportunities due to fears of rejection, or to be overly focused on emotional problems. If any of these things are overdone, you may be limiting your growth, sense of fulfillment, and confidence. The path to satisfaction seems to be about accepting responsibility for your actions, avoiding a tendency to blame your past for current problems, and overcoming your insecurities so that you can better take care of yourself in the present.
Your desire for security may be so strong that it eludes you since security can only come when you let go of limiting dependencies and instead commit to carving out a life that reflects a genuine feeling of responsibility to yourself and others. You are more aware of your emotions than most people, and this is a real strength, but to grow and improve, you’re learning to strike a balance between sensitivity and responsibility. If sensitivity is your crutch, it no longer is your strength! Recognition is likely to come, at some point in your journey, that clinging to the comforts of childhood or the way things “used to be” will, in fact, hold you back from achieving a prosperous and comfortable future! Your path seems to be to define solid goals and a mature direction as you attempt to let go of over-attachment to the past so that you can achieve the financial and emotional security that you so crave.
North Node in Aquarius
One theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
With your True North Node in Aquarius, your South Node is in Leo.
This placement of the North Node of the Moon can incline you to be very attached to the drama of romance and personal relationships, to be willful and wholly focused on getting what you want, and to resist being “one of the crowd” for fear that it makes you less special or unique. If overdone, these traits can serve to limit your opportunities and keep you in a state of dissatisfaction.
Your path seems to be learning to let go of your fears in relationships through offering more freedom to your partners to be themselves instead of expecting them to act as you want them to act. As well, you’re learning that we are all equal and that we can still be special if we belong to a community or share common traits with others. You are learning to move towards a more impartial approach to the world, and as you do, you’ll cultivate more and more sensitivity to the needs of others. By letting go of the strong desire to get what you want in the here and now, satisfaction will come to you naturally as you slowly but surely discover that you get what you need even in the absence of a passionate chase.
You could find that your personal relationships and romances suffer when you take things too personally and expect others to follow a script that you have unconsciously written for them. Learning to let go of the desire for drama and attention, and moving towards a more objective approach to your life will help you grow and develop true friendships and will lead to a greater sense of inner balance. Your relationships with others, as well as your relationship with yourself, will benefit.
North Node in Pisces
One theory behind the Nodes of the Moon (the North Node and South Node) suggests that we all come into this world with some underdeveloped and overdeveloped aspects of our character. The Nodes of the Moon point us to these specific qualities: the South Node represents our overdeveloped character traits that we automatically fall back upon. We’re talented here, but if we overdo this area of life or hold onto these traits to feel secure, we may undermine our lives or prevent growth. On the other hand, the North Node suggests the qualities that we need to work on and develop to achieve inner balance.
Note that with the True North Node in Pisces, your South Node is in Virgo, as the North Node is directly opposite the South Node.
This placement can lead to certain “symptoms” as follows: If you find yourself worrying unremittingly, plagued by feelings of guilt about under-performing, whether vague or explicit, lacking in faith or trust in a bigger plan, or caught in a mindset that over-analyzes yourself and others, then developing the traits of your North Node sign can help get you on a more satisfying path.
With this position, you may need to put some faith in something greater than yourself — the universe, spiritual powers, or the “big picture.” You may want to work on letting go of your fears that you’re not doing enough. Your path is to develop your love for yourself and others through growing your compassion and understanding, and learning more humility as you feel safe in the knowledge that you (and others) are not perfect. You can benefit from developing your imagination, capacity for compassion, and faith. If you default to overworking or over-attention to physical health, your path is to allow yourself to commit to your mental and emotional health. Attention to mental health and emotional healing may help improve your physical health. Learning to let go of an obsession with rules, details, and fears of not doing things perfectly or correctly will help you to achieve a greater sense of balance and to ease guilty feelings and fears of failure, leading to a better state of inner balance.
