Is it that when one tries to act through their North Node that people actually tend to be more drawn to this side of them, yet at the same time the NN person in question feels out of place in expressing these traits? I wondering how I'm going to go about achieving the qualities of my North Node when I have five planets in Aquarius. I have Jupiter in the fifth at least. I think it's conflciting because if one were to over-simplify it, it would be like saying, "You're an Aquarius but in this lifetime you have to stop acting like one."

Something that helped me was understanding the core drive of both signs on the axis. Someone described the Virgo/Pisces axis as the axis of service. I'm sure there are other or even better definitions. But service works. Identifying the core drive of the axis gives you a first link between NN and SN. You are not really being asked to change. More like evolve, and apply your mastery of SN to NN.My Aqua SN was like a little Bolshevik growing up, the hopeful youthful and genuine aspect of being for the people. He has a natural understanding of people and the ways if society. He wants to be a writer and he's a natural at applying this knowledge to his work. IP: Logged |

The NN is that to which we ASPIRE, by house and sign.It takes a push. Let me give an example. If I, always, wanted to sing but felt very insecure, I may have to really, really push to do it. ------------------ Want to Read Simple, Fun,Sexy Articles on Astrology?

The purpose of the South Node is to be transformed in a way that supports the North Node's journey. It is not meant to be left behind; only balanced out. That is what the Nodal axis is all about: balance.When you have the Sun or any other planets near the South Node, things get tricky. It is more of a challenge to find that balance. With the Sun conjunct SN, which you may or may not gave, you just have to become the most evolved version of your Sun sign, working hard to rise above its negatives and express its positives by focusing more on the North Node. Essentially, you have to be assured that you have already mastered what your Sun is geared toward. This will make you very confident in that area of life/expression, freeing you up to reach for the NN. I have Sun/South Node in Leo. For me, it is about being fully confident in my ability to perform, love, express myself, and know myself. This frees me up to be more objective and egalitarian and to not be hungry for approval because I already know how to love and be center stage. With this Node, at its best, the Leo energy can be truly regal and impressive yet in a much "cooler" way. For you, it is the direct opposite. You are figuring out how to be an Aquarius in ways that are not impersonal or detached. You will be able to be highly intelligent and innovative still because you are caring more about the Leo NN fire and creativity and passion. Knowing that you already have mastered the big picture of life will allow you to accept being special and a superstar without losing that concern for other things and people. ------------------ Check out My Astrology Blog: http://astroarena12.blogspot.com IP: Logged |

I agree. The South Node isn't meant to be 'killed', it's meant to be 'balanced'. Balanced with the North Node, like a juggling act. Somebody thinking they're going to kill, or get rid of their South Node, is a bad way to start the journey towards the North Node, and an extreme way too.

Thanks for all your replies. The idea of balancing the two makes much more sense, especially after having come across many people who have spoke about abandoning the qualities of the South Node. I even came across someone who used to be on this forum that stated that with an Aquarius South Node technology is a bad thing. Strange I can agree with the idea that I aspire to be what my North Node is. I've always had dreams of becoming famous (Leo N.N.) for something I've put a lot of hard work into and something that is worth the fame I've achieved (10th House). Knowing that I must balance these energies though is definitely helpful, so I'll try that and see where I go ------------------ Aquarius Sun, Merc, Venus, Uranus, Neptune Scorpio Mars conj.

I agree that it is a matter of balance. To add to this: the SN in a certain sign and house means that in former lives you developed certain weaknesses that has to do with the negative side of that sign and house. In order to get over the negative side and achieve the better qualities, you are encouraged to develop the good qualities of the NN as balance. And so these brings out the better of the whole axis.IP: Logged |

Is your stellium in Aquarius conjunct your SN - and more specifically, are Uranus and the Sun conjunct the SN?If so, this will have a deeper meaning within itself as Uranus is the ruler of your SN and the Sun is the ruler of your NN. Also, does Mars square your nodes? IP: Logged |

The only planet conjunct my South Node is Venus, and the only other aspect my South Node makes is a quintile to Pluto. My Mars doesn't square the nodes, but Uranus in my chart acts as a final dispositor for all my planets. ------------------ Aquarius Sun, Merc, Venus, Uranus, Neptune Scorpio Mars conj.

You have a stellium of Mercury,Neptune,Sun,Uranus and Venus in Aqua. So in Aquarius energy, you sort of have a"tunnel vision" or "Aries" approach.What the North node is calling for ,is restraint from over identification with the stellium and more balance. This does not mean "become" a Leo But strive for a more personal and self-centred approach. Aquarius can be too stuck in ideas and detached from the personal relationships around them. The Leo North node calls for you to be more personable and relatable. I have an Aquarian friend who often uses quotes in our conversations and i often feel like i am having a conversation with Plato Often he would say things like "man has always sought physical gratification, even at the expense of spiritual evolution". And i will respond with " so you ae telling me that you are horny?" This is just one example of how Aqaurius will often take out the personal "I" and will replace it with "mankind", "man", "people", "homo sapiens" etc in order to deflect personal (Leo) involvement Maybe you also do this a lot(well maybe not to the exact manner of the example given). But there is a tendency to deflect on personal involvement or "bias",in favour of an ideal or idea etc. IP: Logged |

Sulkyarcher and Aries23 said it pretty well.Electro DGX, the most specific relationship of your Nodes is with S.Node [14S07] parallel Venus [13S32]. This indicates working with values, affection, friendship as a starting place (S.Node) as you move towards a sense of inner strength, full feeling of your will as an individual (N.Node in Leo). The signs involved generally indicate going from a group-based awareness (Aqua) of you in a group to more self-awareness of you with you. The South Node is like our back foot we use to push off when moving forward. The North Node is like our lead foot that defines the first step.
