It also is not so much about leadership as it is about being a trailblazer. 1st House North Node people are here to be totally singular and individualistic. We are on the right track when we strive to trust our impulses, take risks, and be original, not a reflection of someone else or what others want us to be. The sign that the NN is in is the kind of persona that you need to express in order to stand out and do your own thing. I have mine in Aquarius, so it is a free, quirky, friendly and intellectual persona that makes me stand out.

You will always care a lot about your close friends and will be an excellent partner not only in friendship but in romance. But you can invest too much in being the "best friend" or the "other half". I used to let my best friends define me too much. Some with this placement can let their love life define them. Either way you have to separate yourself from these bonds to a reasonable degree and live your life by being only defined by you. Then, ironically, your relationships will run smoother because you are entering the relationship as a whole person.

You can be extremely charming and relatable. But people will like you and be attracted to you a lot more when you make liking yourself your major priority, instead of trying to make them like you. In this life, your relationship with yourself is most important. This is what will allow you to follow your impulses, within reason, and not be swayed by other people's views.

Maybe you should look at the interpretation of Rahu(North Node)and Ketu(South Node) to learn more.

Anony, your description of a NN in the 1st house also kind of describes being an ambivert. But it is true, though. I feel that way as well. My NN is also in the 1st (previously, it was in my 7th). I can relate to it more, considering that I'm working to develop more of myself than my relationships.

"The first house is the house of self, and thus the North Node placed here will require from the native to develop his self-confidence and become an independent human being. He is destined to find his own inner light and shine, abandoning the karmic pattern of shining through partnerships. The native may have experienced being very dependent on partners during previous lifetimes, and now it is the time to grow on his own."

Having your chart turned upside down must be like going through an identity crisis, good luck with that . NN in 1st house is used to having an identity crisis though.

Umm yeah, I might be an ambivert. Me too, my self-focus is the reason why I got interested in astrology.

Can't relate to all of it {then again rahu(NN) is in my 2nd house in vedic chart}, but this is a good one http://www.barbarapijan.com/bpa/Graha/Rahu/Rahu_domain1.htm .

Lol it is! And like I said in other threads, it's not that I'm adjusting to my new chart, I am honest-to-goodness relating to it more than my old one, especially my 12H sun.

Anyway, my Rahu is in my first house. With regards to your post, I can also relate to some of it, but not all.

This is also a good site:

https://sacredastrology.wordpress.com/2013/01/19/rahu-in-1st-house-ketu-in-7th-house/

"This person tends to learn to do things for himself/herself, to rely on their own initiative. Life seems to force them constantly into situations where they will have to act under their own volition."

"Possible ways to integrate Rahu: Learn to accept leadership roles occasionally. "

"With the Node in the 1st house, we must learn to stick to our point of view.
Also, it is important to be aware of the opposite Node, as there is a tendency to be ruled by the opinions of others, and to wait for them to tell us what to do. "

These are so true of me/my experiences. Taking initiative is something that I'm constantly working on.

This is from the site I posted above:

"The Node on the Ascendant is a placement in which the native almost always has to call attention to himself or herself. The world has to be made to look at him or her. It is very important to put the self forward and to keep on improving the personal image."

The thing about "image" is funny though because my North Node is in Aquarius. I feel like it is sort of the opposite for me because my South Node in Leo can be so self-obsessed. It's more so about me NOT having an image to live up to. I don't want to develop any sort of image. I prefer being very unpretentious and detached from what people think of me. But I guess that, in and of itself, is an image. Just not a glossy, self-serving one.

Interesting. With my NN in Leo it tends to be the opposite; people want me to develop a image for myself and be more self-expressive than I usually am. I typically tend to be quite reserved and detached, preferring to stay silent and just observe, which ends up frustrating people more than me being more self expressive, which often feels more awkward at times and doesn't feel normal to me.

One common complaint is that I "build unbreakable barriers around myself". I care "too much" about people, and people often think that I am trying to fit into some sort of mold within society. The last bit is something I have to disagree with, since personally I know I can't be categorized. I get along with all the cliques lol

Yeah it is interesting how there is sort of a backlash when we overfocus on our South Node. Its sometimes as if the North Node is what others want us to be as well because, if we were, things would flow so much easier in our lives. What house is your NN in? If it is in the 10th, it is just your destiny to gain recognition and success for being Leo like.

For me, I often get either negative responses or no response at all when I'm all "look at me, aren't I awesome?" It is one reason why I have, the majority of the time, stayed away from social media. It is just not my destiny to show off or seek attention. Results are always lukewarm at best when I do.

But when I keep a low profile and a cool head and don't try hard or try to impress people, I actually get a lot of praise. And yet I don't get attached to it or affected by it much anymore. Its funny but the less I care about people's approval, the more I get it. I think the South Node is so automatic that it manifests in our life without us even trying. So when you focus on your North Node, what your South Node wants just automatically happens.

So for you, you will be able to contribute more to the big picture and help others when you let yourself step into the spotlight and gain that special attention. You will be better able to make change in the world by being a superstar.

You had a 5th house stellium, right ? From 5th house to 12th house, that's quite a jump. Recently, my own ascendant jumped too, from 6th to 3rd degree, didn't change anything though which I find boring. You do seem more like a 12H Sun than a 5H Sun. 12H might be harmonious for your Scorpio energy as well.

Personally I have never been able to relate to having a 4H Sun. Whenever I read about 5H house Sun, I feel like "oh yeah, that's more like me" .
Whole sign system places my Pisces stellium in 5th house, I can relate to that more than the 4th house stellium in placidus system.

I'm doing great. Yeah, feels like ages ago . And, how are you ?

Yep, I have a Sun-Mars-Pluto stellium. My 5H sun should have loved being in the spotlight but no, I do not actually like being the center of attention. I liked working behind the scenes more, researching, etc. Sun-Pluto could point to that but I think I'm more at home at the 12H.

Also, Even if I switched to whole house, it would prolly put my stellium in the 6th, to which I still couldn't really relate.
