I have NN in Leo in the 7th (in fact today, is my true node return), and I'm starting to feel that the house placement is perhaps even more important than the sign placement when it comes to NN.The best way I've read about this placement recently is that with SN in the 1st you're starting from a strong me-first mentality. Lots of selfishness, inability or unwillingness to genuinely work in partnership with others, wanting to find your own way and avoid collaborating.
The sign will help frame that context.
Any planets aspecting the NN, particularly square, can show you the what blocks you need to get past to start adapting to the NN mentality, which is playing nice with others, thinking of things from other people's point of view etc.
One really good example from my personal experience has been that in relationships, if something goes wrong, my default is that it must have been my fault. I believe that if I change, it'll get better. That it's my job to adapt to the other person. That it's my responsibility to make the other person feel better etc etc.
In reality, this is all nonsense. I'm supposed to consider how the other person feels in the context of their experience, not in the context of 'what can i do to make them feel better' which, in honesty, is actually what can i do to make myself feel better about this situation.
There's some really good writing out there. Would definitely recommend Steven Forrest's Yesterday's Sky, and Cosmic Love by Jan Spiller has some useful insight, too.
