From the Astrology for the Soul Book by Jan SpillerAries North Node Areas to Develop – Independence Self-Awareness Trusting One’s Impulses Courage Constructive self-interest Moderation in giving Self nurturance Tendencies to leave behind Seeing oneself through other’s eyes Debilitating selflessness Being Mr. or Mrs. Nice Obsessive attachment to fairness and justice Co-dependence: attachment to external harmony ‘Tiit for tat’ mentality Achilles’ Heel / Trap to Avoid/ The Bottom Line The Achilles’ Heel Aries North Node people need to be aware of is a preoccupation with justice.{‘my survival is dependant on everyone playing fair with me’; this thought should signal that they are on shaky ground}. These folks are very giving by nature, yet their need for justice an absolute fairness is a bottomless pit. They can start ‘playing fair’ with themselves by not giving beyond the point that feels comfortable, even if they know nothing will be reciprocated. The trap that Aries North Node people need to avoid is the unending search for an ideal , committed partnership (“if only I can find the perfect partner , I’ll feel complete within myself”.) The feeling of completeness that they seek can only be achieved individually ; it will not be a byproduct of a relationship, no matter how wonderful the partner is. Taurus North Node Areas to Develop – Loyalty Awareness of boundries Taking things one step at a time A sense of self worth Awareness of personal values Patience Honoring expressed needs of self and others Enjoying the five physical senses Gratitude Awareness of nurturing from mother earth Forgiveness Persistance Tendencies to leave behind Attraction to Crisis situations Over concern with other people’s business Impatience Inappropriate intensity Judgmental tendencies Preoccupation with the psychological motivation of others Resistance to cooperation with what others want Overreacting Destroying something in order to eliminate one part OCD tendencies Achilles’ Heel / Trap to Avoid/ The Bottom Line The Achilles’ Heel Taurus North Node people need to be aware of is seeking self-worth through others (“I can only feel good about myself through the validation of others”), which can lead them into a trap of an unending search for a soul mate. In truth Taurus North Node people can only achieve a sense of completeness within themselves – it will never come as a by product of a relationship, even with a soul mate. No matter how much support and validation they get from others, they always think they need more. In fact for them others’ validation is a false barometer of whether they are on the right track. Living according to the standards they know are right for them, regardless of what others think will help them develop a sense of self worth. Gemini North Node Areas to Develop – Healthy Curiosity Asking Questions to learn how others think Seeing both sides of the situation Tact Logic Communication of internal dichotomies A positive approach to life and other people Purposefully cheering up others Using a non threatening approach when expressing ideas Listening Openess to new ideas and experiences Seeking factual information before making decisions Tendencies to leave behind Self righteousness Aloofness Assuming others know “where they are at” Thinking one knows what others are saying without really listening Needing to be right Careless spontaneity Taking shortcuts Acting on intuition without checking facts Achilles’ Heel / Trap to Avoid/ The Bottom Line The Achilles’ Heel Gemini North Node people need to be aware of is self-righteousness , which can lead them into the trap of an unending search for the Truth. But it’s a bottomless pit : since its impossible to be “right” all the time, they never feel good about themselves. And when they argue and try to convince other people they are right, others don’t want to connect with them. Cancer North Node
Areas to Develop Noticing and validating feelings Empathy Nurturing and supporting others Building one’s own foundation and security Honest disclosure of feelings and insecurities Humility Accepting others’ foibles and fluctuating moods without judgment Staying centered in one’s own feelings Tendencies to leave behind Needing to control everything and everyone Compulsion to take charge without fully understanding the situation Ignoring the process; being too focused on the goal Feeling completely responsible for everything Hiding feelings and fears in intimate relationships Doing things to gain respect or admiration from others Achilles’ Heel / Trap to Avoid/ The Bottom Line The Achilles’ Heel Cancer North Node people need to be aware of is their need for control. The truth is they never can control the situations-or other people-enough to feel that it’s safe to be themselves. When they try to take charge of the situations in other people’s lives without being invited, they are inappropriately usurping others’ responsibilities. Sorry you guys I will definitely type up more as soon as I can. This book is amazing has like 30 pages per node and how to deal with each issue. I haven’t read everything for myself even yet (im an Aries nn). But yea I strongly recommend. ------------------ Sun-Gemini Moon-Scorpio ASC-Libra

Personally, I think the thought does account for something, so don't ever feel bad about being nice. Searching for stuff like this without a working search function is extremely difficult unless you know exactly what you're looking for, so no one's going to fault you for not knowing that it's already been addressed.Zala, thanks a lot!!

Spiller's book is great. Of all the books I have, that's the one that is borrowed most often.I have a question: If the North Node is the only thing in a house, is that house still considered as being empty? I have NN in the 7th, and I swear I feel its effects all of the time. IP: Logged |

Earthy ~I don't consider any house to be *truly* empty -- but that's just my personal quirk (see Howard Sasportas on Empty Houses)..... I think the NN *OR* SN in a house energizes those fields of Life Experience, same as any other non-planetary point like BML..... what about the Vertex?? Odd (read: fated) things happen when a planet/light conjuncts one's Vertex..... IP: Logged |

BUD ~AG is exactly right….. quote: no one's going to fault you for not knowing that it's already been addressed
The only reasons I know there are previous strings on the same subject are: 1) because I put it up , or 2) because I’ve been around regularly for long enough, and actually remember Have you read Martin Schulman’s 4-book series (first one is on the Nodes)?? Another FABULOUS study!!!! Volumes: 1 - The Moon's Nodes and Reincarnation 2 - Retrogrades and Reincarnation 3 - Joy and The Part of Fortune 4 - The Karma of The Now http://classiclegendbooks.com/astrologykarmicastrologybooks1.htm IP: Logged |

Thanks, Zala. I sometimes say it's empty, but "empty" doesn't feel like an accurate description. (My Vertex is in the 6th in Aquarius, w/no planetary conjunctions. The 6th doesn't exactly feel empty, either.)IP: Logged |
