A question: If my nodes fall in the 12th house (partner) in synastry, does that mean, I am motivated (unconsciously) to work on my partner's 12th house issues, if both our 12th houses are activated (partner's nodes fall in my 12th as well), then this is necessarily a spiritual work...? How is it different if my NODES fall in my partner's 12th house or any other house, and not my Asc./Des. or MC or IC? How is the expression different?

The 7th house South Node indicates that this relationship is tied to a previous relationship, probably by marriage between the two of you, in a past lifecycle. The south Node generally indicates an area where something was left undone, or a wound was created due to one of your actions. For this relationship in this lifecycle to be completely fulfilling to both of you, you must come to grips with the trauma created in the previous relationship. Most probably, the wound centered around one or both of you loosing site of what brought you together, and at best taking the other for granted, at worse cheating on each other. You may have also sacrificed your individuality for the relationship. The first two, while problematic can be addressed, and you can go on from there. The last is more subtle, and much more soul crushing in the long run. You became what each other and others wanted you to be, rather than what you could have been as unique individuals. Your steps in this life must be to look at your relationship objectively, to discover where one or both of you have ignored their life quest for this lifecycle. Make room for the individuality of each of you, regardless of what others are saying too you, and what you may feel yourselves. In this lifecycle, you are two unique souls, each which needs their own experiences within the relationship. Some astrologers refer to this as enlightened selfishness. To not fear separation, its necessary for each of you to have the time and experiences to grow. The biggest gift of love that you can offer each other is the respect and support of the others needs. In the end, your love will evolve to a deeper spiritual awareness of each other.
