To answer your question, I've had a hard time understanding my NN, it seems super enigmatic too me given what tends to be the general idea about what the NN represents...when people say anything like, it's your "soul's path" or "spiritual growth" it just feels like something very far away from me that I can't grasp. I've heard it mentioned that people with 0 Aries NN's are very close to their soul's purpose in this lifetime, which I will take these peoples' word for! But I really can't really relate to such terminology. I also have heard the NN is related to friends/associations...I'm not sure where that's come from? If someone reads this and can clarify I would LOVE to know! Anyway, to answer your question, here's my perspective on my 0 Aries NN. Sorry if this gets long but I have an IMPOSSIBLE time trying to isolate anything in my chart...

So I have a very very confused and conflicted time with my nodal issues, I might be a special case and maybe you shouldn't compare your friend to me but here's my situation and then maybe you can see how I've gone about looking at it and look into your friend? Okay, so, while I can't relate to notions of 0 Aries being special in some "soulful" way, I can relate to it being a critical degree, and arguably THE most critical degree in the zodiac since it's its very beginnings, cardinal, etc. Its in my 12th, conjunct my ASC by one degree. Even though I'm an Aries ASC, I think because my NN is conjunct it, I don't quite consciously relate to my Aries ASC. I am VERY Aries ASC though, but I only know this because of what other people tell me and in some spontaneous moments of third eye self observation, I can step back in an interaction with someone else and see just how Aries-like I act. I think this is the nature of the NN though, we're more comfortable with its opposite the SN. So even though I have NO planets in Libra, I feel VERY Libran, to my detriment though. What I just said, the notion that I can only be made aware of myself via interactions with others/what others tell me about myself- SO LIBRA. My SN ruler, Venus, is at my MC conjunct my Uranus. The MC among other things, is ego consciousness to me. This really amplifies things. Not only do I really tend to be inclined toward orienting myself towards others, but its a huge part of how I see myself. It's often to my detriment though, because as much as I tend to think of others and literally orient myself according to their energies, I do not find this satisfying. It's comfortable, but it stirs up a restless tension in me too, I can't describe it as anything but this feeling of like, "I did what I thought was right, so why do I feel dissatisfied?" Again, I cannot stress how big this is in my consciousness, and I think it must be the critical placement of my NN. I think that feeling of comfort but dissatisfaction is also typical of the SN.

One thing I do wonder about, is if your nodal placements are supported by the rest of your chart. My whole chart seems to be almost catered to dealing with my nodal placements. Maybe that's what people mean when they say 0 Aries is close to fulfilling what it "needs" to? So while my mind is totally oriented towards relationships- relationships (talking about romantic ones now) never work out for me! My SN ruler Venus, forms the most tight aspect in my chart, a conjunction at that, to Uranus. They are like 5 seconds apart or something, and again, at my MC and in freakin' Sagittarius. What could be more anti-committed relationships? So this manifests in a lot of ways (love weirdos!) but a huge thing is a stable romantic relationship is just not something I have ever experienced, is a huge part of my consciousness about myself, and is also a really easy pattern for me to uphold despite not being satisfying at all. Whenever someone wants to settle into a stable relationship with me, either I or some outside force (or both!) completely demolishes the whole thing and any possibility of that. I HATE romance and immediately am turned off by people that I sense might like me or be interested in me. Again, this is oddly enough supported elsewhere in my chart- by my Juno at 29 Aquarius (again a critical degree!) and the fact that that Venus/Uranus conjunction happens at my Sun/Moon midpoint. There is other stuff too...I wont post everything but you get the idea...

But that doesn't stop me from constantly thinking about relationships and from making a lot of decisions based on relationships- even crushes! I fall in love SO easily too, although again, as soon as getting close to the person comes up, or commitment/stability- I'm outta there. And yet, its so rare that I do something just because I want to. I barely know what it is to want something in a wholly autonomous manner. But again, this tendency, as easily as it comes to me, is not satisfying.

Here's the thing though- my NN ruler, Mars, is in the 7th house! Interestingly, its exactly trine my crazy Juno and sextile my Venus/Uranus (loosely though). The NN itself though, squares that Venus/Uranus (loosely again). EVEN WORSE and probably more significant, my NN is in an exact quincunx to its own ruler! YUCK. Its in a critical degree as well, but Scorpio (interestingly, Aries and Scorp traditionally share the same ruler of Mars). So I'm not entirely sure where to go with it...Mars also being my chart ruler again means a lot of my most vital energy comes from and goes into relationships (again to a detriment considering my SN Libra and the Mars quincunx action). I truly feel alive with someone else...but have all sorts of mechanisms that are strong but don't make relationships totally satisfying to me. I think I need to stop identifying to much with my Venus/Uranus and try to focus on the Mars? But Mars being quincunx to my own ASC and NN feels totally counterintuitive to me, I feel like my instincts about relationships are ALL inevitably difficult for me...maybe I need to focus on the aspects to my NN itself to deal with this? I have it trine by 1 degree to my Sag Sun in the 8th (seems like a loner position interestingly?), exactly quintile my Moon in the 10th, 1 degree sesquiquadrate my Scorp Merc in 8th, and again exactly quincunx its own freakin ruler, Scorp Mars in the 7th (there is also a square to my Sag Venus/Uranus in the 9th but a bigger orb, 4ish degrees). I don't know...maybe someone has thoughts on those placements and can illuminate me. But in any case, these issues are really central in my life and consciousness.

He's draconic chart is basically the same as his natal chart.

Hard to interpret all this in a way that would make sense to others but very intriguing...

My north node ruler- Mars- falls in the 7th house, at 0 Scorpio. Again, I'm a bit confused by this placement. The NN inconjunct its own ruler and the ASC which Mars also rules? I also wonder what to think about the NN ruler of Mars from Aries being in the 7th house whose energies are so opposite?

The Aries Ascendant honestly aims to be the best. Self Denial is not a strength.
NN Aries says that in the past you have been too Libran: Washy Washy, relationship oriented, too harmonious, and partner centric. To be fair to others, you have denied yourself.
So now improve by being self-centered in a positive way. There is encouragement in becoming an individualistic pioneer. You must learn to take decisions and take them fast. Aries Ascendant will help with that.
You must take calculated risks. You must try and own or run your own small business. In all these tasks you will be divinely guided.
The most important challenge for the Aries NN is to avoid complaining/blaming like a loser and slug it out to win. You are born to win and to have the mind pattern of a righteous warrior.

I'll tell you what that says to me... It's similar to someone having their NN in the 7th house, but in Aries.

You DO need to work on relationships. However, what you need to work on in relationships is being independent WITHIN relationships. Sure, everyone needs to be comfortable while being single and alone, but that's not the primary focus with this. The primary focus is being able to stand on your own two feet within a relationship and not being afraid of expressing who you really are on the inside. Sometimes the reason people focus so heavily on the other person's needs and wants in a relationship is because they don't feel like they are worthy of the other person. They want to make sure that they keep the person around by being what they think that other person wants them to be.

Furthermore, and probably especially in your case, it's about SETTING BOUNDARIES in relationships. I say that this is especially true in your case because your NN is in the 12th house. The 12th house tends to make things diffuse, and though the 12th house is what you are working towards, because it is in Aries, there probably needs to be a balance between setting boundaries (or walls) around yourself that are too firm and ones that are too diffuse and enmeshed in the other person. You may be afraid to diffuse your own personal boundaries enough for your partners to see through to your true heart and soul. You may also diffuse your boundaries so much that again, you aren't showing them YOU, you are showing them what you think they want to see (which isn't your true heart, soul, and spirituality).

iQ- thanks for the inspiring words!! Its funny because somehow I've attracted so many Aries into my life and they all kind of echo what you are saying. In any case, you are certainly correct about my Libran tendencies. I'm young though (fresh out of school) and not totally sure yet of where I want to go and how to kind of orient my Aries in a bigger sense (I also have Neptune in my 10th which seems to make me very confused about career/where I am going). Any tips on figuring that out? Should I look to the aspects my NN makes perhaps? Although maybe I have delusions about that and should think about it in an everyday capacity...

enchantress299,
I think you are TOTALLY right. Somehow, I'm scared of taking on a more marital role in relationships and always default to my Libran tendencies and my Venus- which ends up being a weird mixture of overly considerate but distant (my Venus is conjunct Uranus like I mentioned) and is not at all satisfying despite how comfortable it is. But when I take on Mars this feels more satisfying to me. I have some trouble mentally assimilating the 12th house energy with the ASC and Aries but I think you're onto something with the boundary thing, because my Libra tendencies, despite being so oriented towards relationships don't actually result in REAL relationships, there DOES always feel like there are boundaries there.

That's good that you realize that. It will help you to balance yourself out.

It took me all the way until recently to realize that I was relying to heavily on my Mars in relationships. I've got the opposite problem; I rely too heavily on the strong Mars I have in my chart and and not enough on my Venus. It was only recently that I discovered that I was much more happy and satisfied when I was including my often overlooked retro Venus in Virgo into my relationships.

Two things I love though...

His Saturn conjunct my Sun
My Saturn opposes His Sun

His Spirit is Conjunct My Sun
My Spirit opposes his Sun..

Wait.....

My Pluto opposes his Venus
His Pluto conjuncts my Venus

His Venus Conjunct My Mars
And my Mars trines his Venus

Our Auras are Conjunct

Moon conjunct Chiron
My Mercurly conjunct his Chiron

His Sun is conjunct My SN by Sign
And my Sun is conjunct his NN by Sign
My Mercury is conjunct his NN
His Moon trines my NN

AND his NN/Chiron are in my 7th house
His Mercury is in My 5th
And his Venus and Saturn are in my 8th,
I wont be able to fight this for very long
The blend of this appears to be that where normally Venus and Pluto would sweep you along there is enough Saturn to help us balance it and work with it realistically.

But all that Saturn is binding...and indicates lots of Karma...Im scared to look at the Draco! ha

His Sun Conjunct my Descendant

His Sun is conjunct my Venus and Mercury by sign
And my Sun is conjunct his Venus by Sign.

He also completes a Grand Water Trine with me twice...with his Mars and Neptune...it involves my Mercury and Jupiter...both at 29 degrees...so those are the intense emotions

**** !

And.....

His Angel Asteroid is conjunct my Moon
And Angel Asteroid trines his Moon

That is just a brief look at it....wow...
Im floored...I dont have this synastry with anyone!

How sweet though, his Moon/DNA trines my Valentine and his Aura opposes it..

Oh and I didnt post Valentine....but I just Checked because of what I just wrote.

By sign his Pluto is conjunct my Valentine
and My Pluto/DNA is exactly conjunct his...

*sigh*

How in the world am I going to deal with this...if this keeps going this man has the ability to touch me to the very smallest part of my being.....there is no way I will be the same...and the synastry says its not going to be a simple relationship.
It is as much Spiritual as it is Physical.

Its one thing to feel and daydream and its another thing to see it in front of you

Now I know why I never looked at this!
Thanks Star!

Excuse me....
I think I will go kill myself now....Im sure it will be easier than living through this...
