1. What is your North Node sign and house?
2. Aspects to North/South Nodes and/or their rulers you feel are significant to you?
3. How have you seen your nodal path manifest in your life?
4. Any specific events around nodal returns/oppositions/squares? (Here is a guide - https://www.tdjacobs.com/2018/07/22/nodal-returns-squares-and-reverse-returns/)

I know some or all of this has been asked before but I'm looking for new reflections and seeing everything all together.

I have northnode in gemini in the 6th
Mercury ruling my northnode, chiron and DC in virgo retro falling in the 9th squaring my nodes and opposing my moon in the 3rd house. I also have chiron in gemini in the 6th.

After my saturn return, I could feel my need to activate my NN in Aries and in 11th House more and more... The need to drive towards a social purpose, even at the expense of losing everything else.

Its an extreme Aries energy, but it has to be done.

I'm now working towards being a qualified Social Worker.

When I was younger, I couldn't be more SN in Libra which conjunct my Sun. (codependent, self denial, toxic optimistic etc...)

Well Libra (the scales) certainly cares about justice but they also tend to be great at seeing both sides, southnode in libra is going to help keep your northnode in aries in check so it doesn't resort to violence to create social change or bring "justice" as self righteous anger is addicting and can make someone act rashly and blindly, so you can end up doing something wrong in the name of justice and then when more information comes out it turns out the story was fake anyways or misrepresented somehow, so gotta keep your head cool.

2. Aspects to North/South Nodes and/or their rulers you feel are significant to you?
My H2-H8 axis is very prominent in my natal chart. I have a Taurus stellium in H8 with Sun, South Node, Jupiter and Venus (my Pallas and Vesta are also part of this stellium). My Jupiter 10Taurus and Pallas 14Taurus are conjunct my South Node 13Taurus. Taurus is known to be a materialistic sign, but I feel personal growth and wisdom are much more valuable. When things get difficult I know I can always fall back on my intelligence.
My North Node is trine my Midheaven. I feel that my career path has never been a struggle. I sometimes had doubts about my abilities but the path has always been clear to me. Job opportunities have come easy to me. My career helps me to feel like I make a valuable contribution to society (I work for the government) and has pushed me to grow in many ways.

3. How have you seen your nodal path manifest in your life?
As far as I can tell my nodal path has to do with me finding self worth independent of how others see me. I find this difficult because my natural tendencies are to mirror myself to others (Libra ASC) and I have a strong need to be of service to others (Virgo Moon). When I feel other people do not appreciate my efforts, I can get very insecure and can feel rejected. This will eventually cause me to withdraw into my own internal safe space.

4. Any specific events around nodal returns/oppositions/squares? (Here is a guide - https://www.tdjacobs.com/2018/07/22/nodal-returns-squares-and-reverse-returns/)
I am relatively new to astrology, so I have not yet done a lot of research on my nodal returns. But I did have a transit Saturn square nodes recently (Saturn is now retrograde) and I feel it has to do with my divorce. The last few years of my marriage eroded my feelings of self worth because I wasn't getting any positive feedback from my partner. I became more and more withdrawn and the situation really started to suck all the joy out of my life. The divorce is very sad, but I do feel it will bring me back on my path and will help me to value myself more.

3. How have you seen your nodal path manifest in your life?

To be honest I've spent a lot of time thinking that my North node is in the 7th house. Because I've been using tropical signs, but in whole signs it moves to the 8th house. I personally don't know which one is correct as far as the house placement goes, but libra has been a theme in my life.

My mother is a Libra Rising, and I've learned a lot from her when it comes to what not to do in relationships. She doesn't pick the best partners. I have a lot of issues with being solitary, I love being by myself to the point where I need to force myself to be around people. I've gotten better, but I still prefer to be independent. Especially when it comes to personal relationships, I'm far to scared to get caught in a toxic relationship and not be able to escape. I'd rather remain single then have that happen.

I don't think so? But I don't have the best memory.

What has been your specific North Node experience?

---

Rough man, rough. Having Virgo North Node in the 1st has been no joke.

(The ruler, Mercury is widely conjunct the Sun, the chart ruler with both in Capricorn, and Mercury is trine Mars Jupiter conjunction with about a half of degrees separation with Jupiter particularly. Both Mercury and Jupiter are very closely trine the MC and Chiron. Mercury also rules my 11th, 2nd, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. While it's been tough, I've also have received a lot of spiritual help, which I am very grateful for).

A followup question... When/why do you feel you started to "turn" more towards your NN? Like was there a specific point when it became clearer, easier, or just forced on you? Some I see have mentioned that. I have heard that Saturn Return can bring it on, but I also wonder about the nodal returns - but also transits by the rulers of the nodes. For instance, I imagine the Saturn Return is a significant bringer of nodal lessons if your NN is on the Capricorn/Cancer axis, no?

Also another question - Do you feel the placements/aspects of your personal planets help you toward your NN, or hold you back in the SN? I ask because I wonder why, if the soul chooses this specific chart, for some people their chart seems to make it "easier" to follow their nodal path (like lots of personal planets close to or in harmonious aspect to the NN) while others seem almost set up to struggle harder (like vice versa, or also in the case of my ex whose parents' Virgo moons were both conjunct his SN). (Nodal patterns in families are a whole other level of fascination!)

When/why do you feel you started to "turn" more towards your NN?

It started when I got my first real adult job after I received my university degree in January 2000. Transit Saturn conjunct my Jupiter 10Taurus when I graduated and conjunct my South Node 13Taurus when I was offered the job.

A year later, I bought my own home and finally moved out of my parents house with transit North Node conjunct Midheaven 12Cancer. It was a time were I really was able to build a life of my own. It was scary but I absolutely loved the freedom. I grew a lot in that time period and became so much more independent.

Do you feel the placements/aspects of your personal planets help you toward your NN, or hold you back in the SN?

I believe my Jupiter conjunct South Node in H8 has actually helped me with my North Node. Jupiter represents higher education and my profession involves governemnt finance (shared resources and taxes are very 8th House). To me my North Node represents my financial independence, building my own life and finding my own value and these are definitely linked to my career. Maybe this link is also very strong because I have Libra Rising and houses and signs are inverted.

Right now, I also feel I am moving more into my North Node again. Earlier this year transit North Node opposite my natal Neptune, approximately around this time I decided to address my marriage issues. End of July 2022, my North Node will be conjunct my natal Sun and late December 2022 my North Node will conjunct my natal South Node. In my progressed chart my North Node is almost conjunct my Ascendant. Around September 2023 they will be exactly conjunct.

Hence, Virgo themes in general are all pretty highlighted and in a complex/multifaceted way.

One way I can tell them apart though, is that my North Node is firmly within my 1st House, while the rest are more in the 2nd, though Jupiter is retrograding back into the first (and Jupiter is the Planet closest to the Asc).

In that sense, 1st House themes of gaining self independence, living a somewhat loner life (which neither Virgo nor Capricorn particularly counter balance at all), being drawn into facilitation, directive, or leader type positions, role, and/or patterns, developing boundaries with others, etc have been part of my path in major ways, beside the general focus of body health issues, focusing a lot on diet and health, learning how to better discern and discriminate, etc.

I don't think we can truly understand our North Node, without also understanding our South Node. With Pisces South Node in the 7th (and other supporting chart patterns), I came into this world with hyper empathy for others, a sacrificial bent, very imaginative, intuitive and psychic, very spiritually focused (and this manifested at young age), and with a strong desire to escape the humdrum and/or suffering of a harsh, slow vibratory, physical world and body.

(I also have a combo of rather highlighted Jupiter and Neptune, which combined with the angular Pisces SN, explains that growing up, in a lot of ways, I identified a lot more with Pisces than my Cap Sun. But over time, have become more Capricornian and Virgoian, particularly in the sense of becoming more pragmatic, practical, and logic oriented).

But for self, these were somewhat integrated from the beginning. It wasn't so much a radical shift as slightly swinging the pendulum from one side a bit more to the other. This is because one of Pisces rulers, Jupiter, is in Virgo, and Mercury the ruler of all that highlighted Virgo, is widely conjunct the chart ruler, the Sun. And the ruler of the Sun and Mercury, Saturn is also in Virgo (lol, though conjunct watery Moon which rules my 12th, so right back to a combo/blend of this axis).

Hence, fairly attuned to Virgo and Mercury simultaneously. So it has been more so honing and perfecting the balance and integration of these, and I was forced to focus on things like health because of health issues.

Surprisingly, though I have North Node in the 1st, and definitely had strong co-dependent tendencies (not helped by Libra Moon nor Venus in the 7th), I met my partner at a young age (21) and have been with her for the last 20 or so years. However, I met her after a string of brief, karmic, toxic, painful type romantic connections, and consciously took a year or so break to just work on and balance myself (because I had realized I had co-dependency issues). When I initially met her, it was the first time in my life where I experienced attraction and romantic feelings with someone (and made out with them), and was like, "I'm not going to try to get into a relationship with this person". But she ended up pursuing me, and the second time we met, I became psychically aware that we had a very powerful spiritual connection. Actually, my whole body like "vibrated" uncontrollably, like my nervous system was overwhelmed.

I knew exactly who she was to me, who I was to her, that we were meant to be together, that she would fall in love with me and I her, etc. It's funny but after a few months, I told her that I loved her. She was more cautious and standoffish and didn't say it back, but a few months later, we were laying together and right before she started to tell me that she was in love with me as well, I said, "I know." (She doesn't always like that I can read her so well and deeply, but for the most part, she does).

2. Aspects to North/South Nodes and/or their rulers you feel are significant to you?
Moon, Pluto, and Lilith Scorpio house 6 square N. node
Mercury Taurus house 12 squares N. node

Caffe astrology counts Mars Aquarius house 10 in conjunction to my N. node. For me personally I usually focus on aspects that are 5 degrees and under. My node and Mars are 9 degrees apart.

Node conjunct MC Aquarius house 10
Node trine ASC Gemini

So Uranus is the ruler. Uranus/Aquarius is one of the most active planets in my chart. House 9 rules Sagittarius. Sagittarius energy is something I am growing into, because I have Saturn in my 9th. Some things peak in high school and when it comes to Saturn it's where you peak in your late 20's and 30's.

3. How have you seen your nodal path manifest in your life?
I've changed my life calling plans. When I was real little I wanted to be a ballerina, artist, mom. Then I got the theater bug. I was super bent on making performing arts (mainly Broadway) from age 10-16. This makes so much sense with my Leo S. node and IC. Then I was kind of just didn't care, and just wanted to find myself. But I realized what I wanted to be a preschool teacher when I turned 20 and quit an entry level job post high school. I started working in the early childhood field but did not become the lead teacher until age 28.
Also husband is tempting me to quit my job and travel around with him for his job. While I meditate on this...I think it could be in the starts with my node being in house 9.
One of the coolest things I discovered with asteroid astrology is that asteroid Child is conjunct my N. node house 9. And I have my Associates in Early Childhood Education and Bachelors in Early Childhood studies.

Both sides came fairly easy and automatically, but I was just a bit over polarized to the Jupiter/Pisces/Neptune side initially. Doesn't help that my chart ruler is the Sun, and is parallel and semi-sextile Neptune, and the ruler of my Cap Sun and Mercury and co-ruler of my Aqua Venus and Desc, Saturn, is widely square Neptune, and the ruler of my Libra Moon, 3rd, Pluto, and Taurus MC, Venus, is almost exactly sextile Neptune. Then the faster moving ruler of my Scorp IC, Mars, is conjunct Jupiter and widely square Neptune, and the modern ruler of IC, Pluto is very closely sextile Neptune.

I've almost reached the point where I've integrated and balanced Pisces/Jupiter/Neptune with Virgo/Mercury to like a "standing wave" condition. Except that they don't get canceled out like in a acoustic/sound vibrational standing wave, but merge into a higher form.
