It's not so hard to interprate nodal placements by house.

But to interprate conflicting placements such as ;

someones north node is in the 11th house in Leo; south node is in the 5th in Aquarius

is hard. Can anyone help me with this ?

I'm not sure how much help I'll be to you, but I have a similar thing going on in my chart, and this article gave me a new perspective on approaching the node axis.
http://www.astrology.com/another-look-nodes/2-d-d-5023

These paragraphs in particular stand out to me:

"Path Three: People find the happy medium between the Nodal polarities. They realize that life is an "and," not an "or," and fit the drives of both Nodes into their lives. They turn potential enemies into allies by not going to either extreme. They face their inner insecurities (including those from experiences in past lifetimes) and muster the emotional courage to reach a constructive balance point. By bringing together the best of both sides, they are more effective and more emotionally poised. A positive equilibrium is reached.

Some authors interpret the Nodes as "where we've been" and "where we should be going." This can be misleading. The Nodes are primarily an opposition! The goal of any opposition is synthesis -- to turn the enemies into allies, to combine the best of both into a golden mean. Talking about one Node as your "future" and the other as your "past" encourages people to fall into polarization and projection -- exactly the problems to which the Nodes are susceptible! Both Nodes relate to past lives and polarities we are striving to balance. Both Nodes relate to the future which can be bright when we achieve a pleasing synthesis!"

It looks to me, the particular node placement in question emphasizes this need for balance and finding of a medium.

Here's an interpretation from http://www.astrologykarmaandyou.com/Leo.html:

"HOUSE 11: Goals & Groups

Welcome to the opportunity to share the warmth, generosity, and creativity of the Leo energy you're learning about with those of us here in the Eleventh House clubhouse. Welcome to claiming your place in the sun by stepping into a leadership role, something that is Leo's natural domain, without compromising your acceptance by taking your own importance too seriously; to figuring out how to lead and still be a part of the team. Welcome, in other words, to the paradoxical, exciting and phenomenally rewarding terrain of the karmic "switcheroo," the situation where the themes of this lifetime's assignment bear a striking resemblance to the experiences of the karmic past.

Your North Node sign of Leo is naturally associated with creativity and playfulness, leadership, warmth, and generosity. Leo energy is most comfortable claiming its unique spot in the center of any given solar system, but your Leo North Node is staked in the all-for-one-and-one-for-all turf of the Eleventh House where acceptance by the "gang" is based on how well you can fit in, not on how much you can stick out. Complicated enough. Then add the fact that your humanitarian, somewhat cool and impersonal, intelligent Aquarian South Node is in the part of the chart where warmth, creativity, pleasure and love affairs, and the heart of a child hold court. In this lifetime, it's going to be hard to know if you're moving forward to the North Node or back to the South. In fact, there could even be times when you literally won't know whether to parade anonymously as one-among-many in a human rights march or give the keynote address at the rally!

Agreed, this assignment has more than its fair share of challenge, but it need not be daunting. You have everything it takes to move toward your goals. The brilliant Aquarian South Node part of you knows about group dynamics and how to stay true to its individuality even as it collaborates in joint initiatives, and that's what the Eleventh House challenge is all about. And the Fifth House karmic history that played out in the arena of specialness and pleasure and love can help you recognize and nurture the Leo energy you're learning about now. But missteps and detours and dead ends are part of the "switcheroo" deal, so go easy on yourself. Just keep the most positive qualities of your North Node sign and house in the forefront of your consciousness as much as you can. You're learning a complicated lesson. When you have the reversed sign and house situation, it's often an indication that you're working on an issue that takes more than a single lifetime to master.

Get to that meeting. When you get elected chairman, don't be surprised - and don't let it go to your head!"
