I may have addressed this question in my articles on the Nodes. However, it may have been buried, so I will address it here.These articles are smaller and, perhaps, easier to read.
First of all, the angles are some of the most personal places in a chart.
It is like one’s underwear, not to use too graphic of an illustration.
However, one is very close to one’s underwear.
One does not show it to most people.
Even if some people see it, it is, still, a very intimate part of us.
The angles are very intimate, in that we FEEL them intensely.
That is why when another person touches them in synastry, we feel it very strongly.
If you have ever felt a Pluto or Mars on your Ascendant, you know what I mean.
Each planet that conjuncts the Ascendant would feel differently, based on the NATURE of the planet.
For example, Venus is love.
If a person’s Venus conjuncts your Ascendant, you will feel loved by them. They will feel love to you.
If a person’s Saturn conjuncts your Ascendant, you may feel criticized by them. They, in turn, may feel critical of you.
If a person’s Nessus conjuncts your Ascendant, you may feel them as abusive. They, in turn, may feel as if they want to abuse you.
I hope you see the picture.
Back to the subject of squares from the Ascendant to the North Node.
The North Node is like a lighthouse. It shows us that to which we aspire. Both the house and sign of the North Node are that to which we aspire.
I have many articles on the North Node, which discuss this with greater detail. It is one of my favorite parts of the chart because with very little effort, one can mine a great deal of self knowledge.
Back to the subject.
The Ascendant is an outer angle, in that people see it.
It may FEEL like one’s underwear, but it acts like one’s hat.
People in your daily life will see your Ascendant. It tells us about your mannerisms and your modes of behavior in your daily life.
I am a Libra Ascendant. I try to compromise. If I have a problem with someone, I do not want to win. I want to meet in the middle, so both people are happy.
If I do win, I will try to concede something, so the other person feels better.
You will see a hat of diplomacy, because Libra is the sign of diplomacy.
Now, if I have a square to the North Node, I will be thwarted, somehow, in meeting my life purpose.
Let me give an example.
If I have the North Node in Capricorn, I may struggle between being trying to please someone else,which is Libra’s domain, and climbing to the top over dead bodies,which is Capricorn’s domain.
(I exaggerate for literary interest)
Let me see if I can give some more examples.
Let’s say that your Ascendant is in Virgo. I, always, say that Virgo will stay and help you with the dishes while the other signs feign illness, fatigue or something. I have a lot of respect for Virgo, especially in this me centered society.
Hence, a native with a Virgo Ascendant is oriented toward service.
What is the North Node were in Gemini, for example.
Gemini is the classic party girl. She would be chatting away while the Virgo was left cleaning.
Remember that all squares are struggles.. The Virgo Ascendant part of the native would be compelled to help with the dishes, while the Gemini North Node part of the native would want to know all about the business of everyone i.e gossip.
I hope you can see what I mean.
