Just wondering what have you been up to. What are the challenges you had or the things which might have been designed for you to get to your goal, sort of. I am Gemini True Node in 7th and I have Sag Stellium.I have realized that I have been more open to different people's point of view and I try to understand in different angle. I had to learn to be interdependent rather than independent. IP: Logged |

I have been cheerfully embracing the chaos. No longer am I afraid. I will give myself fully. I will be devoted. I will give all my love and energy from here on out. oh yes, and my psyche feels more together.Pisces North Node 6th house. IP: Logged |

My sun and north node are in the same sign so I figure as long as I'm being myself I'll get to where I'm supposed to be and do what I'm meant to do anyways.IP: Logged |

My North Node is in Taurus conjunct my Venus.
I feel like this is about learning to take care of myself, to put my needs first - before the needs of others (not easy!!!!), to focus on my appearance/health/happiness.. the things I enjoy, the things that make me comfortable, making money to buy those things, being financially independent (rather than dependent on someone else - Scorpio SN).I find it easy to think about other people & put them first, to spend my days helping others or psychoanalysing them and their lives over and over again. This seems like second nature. I am even doing this as we speak, on LindaLand (& LL actually has a Scorpio Sun Sign - It's no coincidence I feel right at home here)
Emotional drama is also related to Scorpio SN.
I'm completely comfortable with all that. It feels like the easiest thing to get involved in such situations and resolve them, usually for the benefit of others. It's actually really difficult to pay attention to *myself* and my own needs though. Often I have noticed I am not even aware of them. For so many years in my life I didn't even realise that I had likes, dislikes, desires etc.. because I was so much so focused on other people.
In the past maybe 2 years or so I feel like I'm more centred - like I know who I am more so..
I am starting to feel entitled to my personal happiness - and to the selfishness involved in building and protecting ones personal happiness. The Scorpio side of me - drags me in a direction that says: NOOO personal happiness means NOTHING. It's selfish and shallow bla bla
So yeah - It is a constant tug of war in my mind.. but I am starting to be more Taurean - one step at a time. I think to be honest - Scorpio will always be an important part of who I am. I also have Pluto conjunct my SN - so I have a Venus/Pluto opp on my Nodes.
I like the idea that people should balance their Nodes.. and bring their past experience with them as they progress in their spiritual future.
The Scorpio side of me needn't be abandoned - but there has to be more compromise!!  IP: Logged |

I have South node in Cancer in the 7th house.At my worst, I am too emotional and without even realizing it at times I tend to try to control other people's viewpoints with my irrational reactions. I make failed attempts to gather sympathy (pity). I don't intend to employ manipulative tactics like this, but it's an act of desperation. I tend to rely too much on what family and loved ones think of me, and it messes with my head (I let it). I stay stuck in the past and how people made me feel. Too immersed in my emotional life in general, that I tend to ignore objectivity and logic. In order for me to fully integrate my Capricorn NN in the 1st, I need to grow the hell up, stop with all emotional reacting and games, grow a back-bone and learn to be more reliant on my own validation. Not let even the closest of people cloud my vision of myself, who I am, and what I want. Have leadership qualities. Have self-respect. I also need to be more responsible/organized. But the biggest things are INDEPENDENCE(of self and financially), CONFIDENCE, and STABILITY(of emotions, inner self and family). Yes I had to dramatically CAPS lock those words.  It's really hard because I slipped into those childish behaviors today. However, I am doing very well about basic responsibilities like work and school, and becoming braver about things. It's just my over sensitivity that kills. IP: Logged |

I have this configuration, but in Virgo. I also feel burdened by service to others, and that I live a solitary lonely sort of life. Though I like having the space & alone time. IP: Logged |

^I am the complete opposite of you, Lazyscarecrow. I have my SN in Cancer, 1st house. I also tend to be selfish, shut other people out, wallow in self-pity and tend to think too much about what others say about me.I am trying to grow out of it now, to my NN direction in 7th house Capricorn-- to learn about myself through others and improve whatever weaknesses I have in order to be mature. My NN conjuncts Uranus exact and Neptune by 1 degree but I don't know what that implies.  IP: Logged |

My life isnt burdened by serving others at all. its all about my struggle finding myself and figuring my life out and my purpose in the grand scheme of things.i'm also a twelfth house sun, i hate 12th house stuff.. I wish i could say i was burdened by helping others;atleast i would be making a difference in the world. But how can one help others if they cant help themselves? at the end of the day I have way too much stress and trouble in my own life to take on other peoples problems. i just cant deal with it.

I also have Gemini North Node in the 7th house. Neptune conjuncts my South Node in the 1st house, so that does give it an interesting flavor, I think... This: quote:
I have realized that I have been more open to different people's point of view and I try to understand in different angle. I had to learn to be interdependent rather than independent.
...is also true for me. However, I think to me, it feels like I really have to fight my nature of stomping off to take care of things myself. Interdependence is usually so foreign to me that I sit there and go back and forth in my mind as to whether or not it's worth it to ask a friend for help, or whatever the case may be. I am notoriously bad at asking for help. I also have a 1st house stellium and an Aries Moon, so I know that doesn't help. Once I do it though, and I allow myself to trust someone enough to become somewhat interdependent and learn something from them, it is incredibly refreshing, like I've just dropped a heavy burden. I feel lighter for it. IP: Logged |

I have NN in Aqua, in 6th house. Conjunct Mars.I'm really good at embodying the Aquarian traits, that all comes pretty naturally for me. It's the 6th house stuff I suck at. organization, follow-through, setting a routine. Yeah, working on it. Setting boundaries with people? Well, I suppose that would be better than always telling them to bleep the bleep off when they overstep with me. Oh, me and my Aquarius Mars temper! I think my Aqua Mars energy must make it easier to embrace the Aquarian side but is uncomfortable and impatient with the 6th house side.

Wowwww, I almost always put myself first. I am naturally selfish and self-preserving...I think a lot of things through by how it will affect me. I'm almost desensitised to a lot of suffering and even people mourning - I don't really feel like it's ME experiencing it, and if I can't do anything about it, I almost feel unconcerned. And that doesn't mean I am incapable of empathy, it just gets filtered out, it's in my nature. This shines through in relationships too. When I'm done, the person and everything about them is done too. I don't like to give them chances, I'd rather break it off, give them any last words, and flee the coop. Hell, once I even went skipping off quite literally to my friend's house, ending it there in the street...this weekend I told my ex best friend, of maybe six years, that I didn't want to know her any more. It didn't feel like I knew anything about her these days any ways. Maybe I have to learn that I am not the centre of my universe. Or maybe caring and tending to others will help me grow. To allow myself to merge with someone else... Scorpio NN conjunct Sun. (Also I forgot we have opposite Venuses...and your Pluto is exact conjunct my Venus... ) IP: Logged |

^ A relative of mines pov is actually very similar to your viewpoint. She has Scorpio NN too, and she is also the self-preserving type. She is not the kind to get involved in other people's dramas and problems, and does not even care about the (usually negative) input of others because it does not concern -her- directly. What you said in the first paragraph, that is actually her exact words. quote:

And this ^ My Nodes are actually in 4 houses instead of 2.. Technically on the 12th/6th axis but like a few seconds away from my 1st/7th axis.
So I can relate to both having the South Node in the 12th and in the 1st.
Doesn't help that they're on the Gemini/Sag axis, either. I tend to get overwhelmed with information, always wanting to gather more and more to just "know" things and "understand" things, people, myself. But it's not serving me well.. I need to "feel" things out instead of thinking them out. Sag = intuition, faith. No more "logical" appproach, no more self-centeredness, ego and anxiety; mental over-stimulation is my biggest enemy.
So basically what I intend to do is work more on 6th house stuff (especially since I have a stellium there), and at the same time focus on relating more, not just being concerned about myself in a relationship. And of course being more positive, outspoken, and find my own, inner "truth" to live by.

North Node in Aquarius, 5th house. Trying to be more detached and objective about my emotions, since they're always so strong. Another thing is breaking away from the need to fit in with groups and being more independent. Especially in my hobbies and spare time. I certainly think I should try to take life less seriously and enjoy myself. But how? It's a lot harder than it looks! IP: Logged |

Ya, most tough thing to do I suppose. If you can stop trying to please everyone? Aren't we all design to please everyone else like when people seek approval and stuff especially doing something new. They say inorder to do new things and go outside your comfort zone you need support.
Maybe somethingexcellent can help us. How do you take on new challenge ? IP: Logged |

NN in Libra, 4th house trine moon and square jupiter.I've had a hard time with this. I've read it about balancing your professional life with your home life. I graduated from college and went on to a successful business career. I met my husband and we decided to follow his career, while I stayed home and raised the family. I have done this for he past 7 years, and feel quite lost without my career and independence, but I also have venus in the 12th which equates love with sacrifice, so I gave up a lot because that's the way I show love...I take care of other's needs without nurturing my own.

I have accepted my responsibility with my family and I'm more than willing to help or support them in any way I can. It's not hard to accept this responsibility anyway coz I'm a family-oriented person (Cancer AC). I'm now ready to head towards my North Node and learn TOTAL SELF-RELIANCE. My focus in this lifetime is to seek pleasure/beauty in my career and social world.

I'm Scorpio NN.And the exact opposite of what somethingexcellent said! LOL I have broken off relationships kind of brutally in the past...like in my early 20's I was cutting people off left and right. I'm nothing like that anymore. I'm more careful with who I get close to and I'm more careful preserving whatever we've built up. No more joy in vengeance. IP: Logged |
