Thanks Amisha.

It was 100% true for me. I have my NN in aqua in the 11th house, if the NN is the true Node...

Cancer node. I really have been fighting my maternal nature. I want to nurture EVERYTHING, but I'm always fighting myself. It's not good.

Just one point... I've read that your NN does not really come into affect until you hit your mid thirties or forties. It's associated with your mid-life crisis (if you have one!). So those of you who are yonger than 35, it probably hasn't hit you that hard yet. But it will.

My NN is in Taurus and in the second house. The reading of Taurus was correct for me. I'm dealing with second house/Taurus issues NOW!!!! Never had to in the past. I had a wealthy unbringing, all I needed was given to me by others, now I have to earn money etc. for myself... thrilling, but a scary prospect.

Welcome all, good buddies. Be friendly and I'll be nice.

Beowulf, that really doesn't help my optimism. LOL. I'll wind up in the nuthouse or the spermbank if this gets worse.

Jenfullmoon,

Libra NN here. I know what you mean, most of the descriptions **** me off about it - but I think its about learning how to balance what you are doing on your own with someone else and their own goals also. I think it's learning about balance - that's what I tell myself anyway. LOL!

mid thirties or forties?! wow Beowulf, you could be right. i agree with some aspects of the Libra NN interpretation but totally feel that i'm gearing up for the whole "togetherness" "sharing" thing but not completely there. in some ways, i'm still very much a loner. I'll be 30 in december so we'll see, huh? it just hit me though, it really isn't any fun wanting to be alone all of the time - it feels much better sharing time with others. what the hell was i thinking?! somewhere i read that Libra NNs are more comfortable with win/lose situations instead of win/win situations but have to work on achieving win/win situations.

Hi Amisha,

Thanks for the great post! I think the interpretations are right on.

This should answer your question about the nodes:

What’s the difference between the terms True Node, Mean Node, and North Node?
The terms True Node and Mean Node both refer to the same thing.

True and Mean are two different ways of calculating the Moon’s North Node.

The Moon’s Nodes move backwards through the Zodiac at a rate of one revolution every 18.5 years. When astronomers calculate the Mean Node, they take that yearly motion and average it out. The resulting position is the Mean Node.

In reality, the Nodes “wobble” a bit. Once astronomers obtained instruments sensitive enough to measure this wobble, they began to plot its course and call this position the True Node. Although the Nodes move around the Zodiac in a retrograde direction, the True Node is sometimes direct. The Mean Node is always retrograde.

There are plenty of ideas about the meanings of retrograde planets, but I have not heard anything about the meaning of a direct True Node. I suspect it is not of great importance.

Which is better, Mean or True?
There is no agreement among astrologers as to which is better to use in chart analysis. There are valid arguments supporting the choice to use either one. They are never more than a few degrees away from each other, so it probably doesn’t matter much.

Found these interpretations from the same website...thought I'd add it as FYI!

Sometimes in the astrological literature, you will see interpretations that color the North Node as all positive, and the South Node as all negative. Sometimes they suggest that you should strive to move “toward” the North Node and shun the qualities represented by the sign of the South Node. (As if that were possible.) I do not think this is a constructive way to look at it. Your South Node indicates an area of longing, but also of massive talent and gifts. The trick is channeling those gifts properly.

Think of the North Node as the head, and the South Node as the stomach. The stomach has the hunger, but the head has the mouth. So you fulfill the desires of the South Node through the energy of the North Node.

North Node in Aries, South Node in Libra:
North Node in Aries represents a karmic drive to embrace your identity, to make your own decisions and live your own life. The South Node in Libra represents a longing for relationship. The longing is so strong and intense, that you often will try to make the connection by doing the Libra thing, trying to be the person you think your partner wants. This never works. You will find fulfilling relationships only when you embrace your own desires and wants (Aries), take the risk of being your own person, following your impulses. Only then can the right relationship appear.

North Node in Taurus, South Node in Scorpio:
North Node in Taurus represents a need to get in touch with your own self-worth, your values & awareness of comfort zones, what feels good, what doesn’t, relying on your own talents and resourcefulness (Taurus). The South Node in Scorpio represents a longing for close bonding and mutual empowerment with another person. The old pattern is to attempt to do this by buying into another person’s system of values and priorities (Scorpio). Your longing for a fulfilling intimate relationship will only be satisfied when you focus on your own strength, your own values, your own priorities. When you do so, the right people will appear to support your goals.

North Node in Gemini, South Node in Sagittarius
If your North Node is in Gemini, you are like a butterfly, here to sample many flowers and connect with people and things. The South Node in Sagittarius represents a longing to have all the answers, sharing truth and wisdom, “being right.” If you don’t do the Gemini part and listen to what others are saying, your Sagittarian optimism can get out of hand, and you assume they know what you know. It’s true that you have great wisdom, but you mess up when you act without thinking things through, and dismiss other people’s ideas without hearing them out. You are able to share your wisdom and connect deeply with others when you truly listen to them, helping them through the “nitty gritty” aspects of life, and allowing them to help you.

North Node in Cancer, South Node in Capricorn
The South Node in Capricorn represents a strong drive to succeed. You mess up when you measure success by the “outward” symbols of success or achievement of a position in society (i.e. clothing, material status, titles, awards, the “right” friends, etc.). To gain these things, you may try to “cut off” or ignore the feeling side of things, yours and others’. Your North Node in Cancer shows that the true measure of your success is emotional fulfillment— if you aren’t feeling safe and content on the inside, you haven’t “made it.” This does not deny you success in your career, but it does mean that you find satisfaction in life only when you use your strong work ethic and management skill in a way that is emotionally suited to you, and responsive to others.

North Node in Leo, South Node in Aquarius
The South Node in Aquarius represents a strong urge to belong in a group. Your old pattern is to make your way by “fitting in,” letting go of your ego to promote a cause, and letting the energy of a group carry you. You try and find this sense of belonging by remaining a spectator in life rather than a participant. This doesn’t work, because Leo is an extremely creative sign, and to try to “blend in” cuts off a very real part of you that longs for expression. You find your true sense of belonging when you let your light shine, take the risk of standing out. Then you magnetically attract the right group of friends to you.

North Node in Virgo, South Node in Pisces
The South Node in Pisces represents an urge for immersion in spiritual oneness. You may try to do this by escaping from the world through addiction or other means, withdrawal from involvement with others, giving up, or choosing not to deal with the daily grind. You have a strong psychic and spiritual power. However, this power only works for you when you embrace the lesson of Virgo, serving yourself and others through active involvement with others, attending to the nitty-gritty details of life. “Spirit helps those who help themselves” is a good mantra for you. i.e., you have to clean up your own messes in life, nobody’s going to do it for you.

North Node in Libra, South Node in Aries
The South Node in Aries represents a competitive urge— you want to win. You may try to do this by being defensive, combative, and competitive with others. However, you only win big when you cooperate in mutually beneficial partnerships, openly share your feelings and intentions, listen to and accept the help of others. You have good relationship karma— involve others in your decisions, and give of yourself, share your talents and abilities with others. You only really benefit from win/win cooperative situations, not win/lose battles.

North Node in Scorpio, South Node in Taurus
The South Node in Taurus suggests a tendency to try to do everything yourself, your way. It can be hard to let go of possessions, for fear that you might need it someday. Following the Scorpio North Node path, sharing resources and responsibilities with other people, really opens up your world. It involves letting go and taking the risk of trusting and depending on another. Ironically, you only find the stability you want through letting others help you in their own way. The rewards are well worth the price.

North Node in Sagittarius, South Node in Gemini
The South Node in Gemini indicates that you can really “overthink” decisions, constantly second-guessing yourself. You got so good at seeing other people’s points of view, that you lost touch with your own. Your Sagittarius North Node indicates that the greatest rewards for you are in trusting your intuition, and being open and honest about yourself and what you want. Overthinking is problematic for you because you can never have enough information to satisfy your mind. You second-guess yourself and become confused, making it very difficult to make decisions you truly trust. Visualizing the outcome, rather than relying on factual, logical information, works much better for you. You have the gift of manifestation— your beliefs create your reality. Indulging in gossip drains your energy— don’t do it.

North Node in Capricorn, South Node in Cancer
The South Node in Cancer indicates an intense desire to care for people. However, overconcern with other people’s emotional well-being may be a sign of your fear of taking charge of your own destiny. This overconcern shows itself as dwelling on the past, being afraid to come out of your shell, making other people’s feelings your problem. You are here to rediscover the thrill of achieving your goals. You need to let other people work out their own problems, and develop and cultivate your own ambition. When you do this, eventually others will come in to support you! You are a natural born leader and manager. Because you have the gift of empathy, people trust you, and you find fulfillment when you set up structures that support everyone’s well-being. Focusing on your vision for the future will help you let go of the past.

North Node in Aquarius, South Node in Leo
With South Node in Leo, ego drives are very powerful, as the soul craves recognition and respect. Thus, at times you can be dominating, demanding, and willful. The North Node in Aquarius indicates that you find the respect and approval you want only when you work from a sense of equality with all creatures, inspiring rather than dominating. Because you, more than anyone, understand the value of appreciation, you are a natural born appreciator of others and can motivate others to achieve their best, especially when you work together for a common cause. Being involved in groups and humanitarian causes is very good for you.

North Node in Pisces, South Node in Virgo
The South Node in Virgo suggests an innate practicality and sense of order, but also a sense of panic an anxiety when things do not go as planned. Therefore, you may burden yourself and others with rigid expectations of proper behavior or “perfect” situations. The North Node in Pisces represents this lifetime’s mission: let go of worry and work on developing a sense of the connectedness of everyone and everything. Your longing for order and perfection is satisfied only through the realization that everything is in divine order, even if our limited human minds perceive only chaos.

I am in a complete meh this week. This morning I've been wandering around my house wondering what on earth my life purpose is - or at least what it's meant to be.

Thank you to the bumper for randomly throwing this my way when I needed a reminder

Hear, hear.

According to my NN/SN and a lot of other placements and life experiences, I'm destined to be an a***ole - but one with a noble cause and for the benefit of the many.

Quoting myself: it's better for everyone if I just follow what I want. And not sacrifice myself for others.

Aquarian node makes a lot of sense and I can see it in me..... they say I have a lot of talents, but I don't want to shine out like the Sun. I want others to shine too. They say my work is awesome and I should go into business for myself......I tell them I'm no artist....it's just things I do and how I 'play'...... they tell me that I'm so humble and Intel them I don't want to wave that freak flag around.

I told a lady last week..... I know I have good stuff and deep down inside I'm an extreme perfectionist. My dad told me a long time ago, if you're going to do a job, do it right the first time. I chose not to blow my own horn because I don't want the adulation. It has nothing to do with confidence or esteem.... this is something very different.

I'm strongly insistent that my skills and abilities must be used to benefit others and not myself.

This Dec 1, one of the places I go to will be having a craft sale. They will be giving me a table for my photography and knitting etc. They said the ones who have tables can take the money home with what they sell. I told the lady, whatever I make goes back to the agency and that I don't want to take it home. The money is for them - even though I'm supplying what I'm seeking, bit most of the others will be selling what the agency supplied them.....
