IntroductionI fnd it interesting with the Nodes that nomatter how we try to avoid thinking aboutthe issues they bring u, those very issueswill haunt us until we a!tively engage withthem"#art o$ what drives us to understand the nature o$ the Nodes is that the

behaviors holding us ba!k or ushing us $orward are so o$ten

redi!table roblems asso!iated with the signs the Nodes $all in, yet

we !annot easily solve them"

I$ you have a roblem that you !an%t understand, that !ontinues to tug

at you or !hallenge you, it%s temting to lay it at &aturn%s $eet, but

!lose to the angles themselves, the issues reresented by the overall

themes o$ ea!h house are aramount to your li$e%s urose and

dire!tion" I suose you !ould avoid these themes somehow, or ignore

the dire!tional warning6sign messages, but most eole%s lives do

seem to eventually !ome u against the issues o$ their Nodal a'is"

8or an overall dis!ussion o$ ea!h house, lease lookat the links to the *astrologi!al houses series%,

listed above (look all the way u to the to o$ theblog)"

+he theme o$ the 1st=>th house a'is, as this revious blog entry

dis!usses, is integrating the varying (usually oosite) needs o$ *sel$%

and *other%" +o have the Nodes $alling in this a'is, then, a!!entuates

this theme/ but, more imortantly, it makes the urose o$ your li$e%sath about relationshi" @elationshi to your sel$, and relationshi

toboth the idea o$ *ther,% and one arti!ular *other,% will defne your

urose" Bee in mind, however, that the message o$ the Nodal a'is in

the houses must be viewed in relationshi with the overall theme o$

the rest o$ the !hart/ no one ie!e o$ the !hart is *the answer"%

Aries $orth $ode in the st: Coes the theme o$

defning yoursel$ in relationshi to another get more obvious than this7

+he !hallenge will be $rom your &outh Node in the >th, whi!h is a very

strong indi!ator that you haven%t yet given u thinking about other%s

needs and oinions" +he roblem I have with Dibra &outh Node in the

>th is how easy it is to abandon yoursel$ to the needs o$ a so!ial grou,

at the e'ense o$ an ego that badly needs to develo and individuate"

+he &outh Node in Dibra en!ourages a $alse mask, one whose

*ni!eness% !overs over a vast array o$ ersonality issues Aries%

ersonality tye isn%t !omle' enough to trouble with" Aries says EI am

what I am/ deal with it"F It%s Dibra that thinks through every ossible

ubli! relations%6style misunderstanding o$ what it *meant% as it gaes

in the mirror to !he!k its makeu/ how will its audien!e rea!t7 +hat

worries the &outh Node in Dibra" +he North Node in Aries !ould not !are

less/ it%s too busy thinking about the ne't thing it wants to do and be

and learn and strive $or"

+he North Node in Aries will eventually !reate situations $or you that

$or!e you to do things $or yoursel$, no matter what your so!ial grou

says, no matter whether others arove or not"

rdinarily, the !hallenge with North Node situations is that they will be

un!om$ortable $or a very long time, sin!e egos are resilient little things

and resist !hange" +he resistan!e here will be that you won%t want to

look bad in the eyes o$ your so!ial grou/ i$ you%re used to being a

$ollower, or a leader, $or that matter, this North Node will tell you that

you need neither to lead or $ollow, but to go o9 on your own and fnd aath no one you know has yet trodden"

'!iting7 ell, look at the rest o$ your !hart to see i$ it suorts or

!hallenges that dire!tion" It%s only e'!iting i$ you $eel ready" Adventures

on your own, doing things outside the bo'hell, leaving your !ul de

sa! and seeing the worldall these things will be !ommented on by

your Dibran6tye als" hat will you do when you%re er!eived as

*rude,% or isolationist, or too uni-ue7 hat will you say when they

a!!use you o$ selfshness7 +he &outh Node in Dibra will $eel guilty

about this $or -uite awhile until it gets tired o$ beating itsel$ u $or

wanting something new"

Taurus $orth $ode in the st: +he ersonality is

e'ressed through a +aurus skill6set, as long as the &outh Node in the>th in &!orio has resolved !ertain sy!hologi!al issues that allow the

+aurus6sel$ to $un!tion ragmati!ally, without the deeer emotional

!omli!ations &!orio has the otential to bring with it"

Now, the &outh Node in &!orio, no matter whi!h house, reresents a

true !hallenge $or most eole/ it%s !omli!ated, to say the least,



largely be!ause o$ how un!ons!ious the deeer emotional states are

$or the native" &!orio a9e!ting the >th house (in any way, not 4ust

through the Nodes) means that relationshis themselves are o$

aramount imortan!e to the individual, and will o$ten be the la!e in

li$e where ower struggles work themselves out"

+his !ould be good or bad" &!orio &outh Node (or in the >th house)

usually seems to ull the individual into those long, long, long,

dis!ussions in the middle o$ the night about *$eelings,% and how you

aren%t living u to their hoes, dreams, and e'e!tations" &ounds more

like Hirgo7 ombine these two signs $or true middle o$ the night

relationshi torture/ but I digress"

+he thing is, +aurus North Node 4ust wants to be good at somethingto

$eel !ometent, usually by doing something a!tive and, $rom the&!orio erse!tive, relatively *simle%" &tarting a business, being a

stellar !he$, anything to do with +aurus6related stu9, like $ood, money

!om$ort o$ some kind" Growing otatoes/ I don%t know"

Ceending on the business model +aurus !omes u with, &!orio on or

in the >th !an be very suortive, and here%s why<

Jou might have a lot o$ innate knowledge about relationshis, about

sy!hology, and be very wise in the @ealm o$ the #ersonal"

Nonetheless, you%re !hallenged to ut it to good use, and that use has

to be ragmati! i$ you%re going to make your North Node in +aurus live

u to its $un!tional, organied, and urose$ul &el$"

+he saddest sight in the real world might be a frst6house North Node

in +aurus who isn%t able to use his skills be!ause his &outh Node is too

sy!hologi!ally traumatied" hen he stos doing all the negative

&!orio stu9 that revents +aurus $rom getting u to go to work in the

morning, he%ll have moved the North Node in +aurus $orward on the

ath"



%emini $orth $ode in the st: Intelligen!e and

intelle!tual ability defnes these two Nodes" +he -uestion is, how is this

intelle!tual ability e'ressed7 +he &outh Node in &agittarius has big

ideas about how things *ought% to be" &outh Node in &agittarius thinks

about a *er$e!t% world, one in whi!h the &agittarius6tye ersonality

has won something, been in !harge o$ something, and, most

imortantly, lived :ig" In the >th, the &outh Node in &agittarius has

had, or is !aable o$ having, E+he #er$e!tF @elationshi" hen (and i$)the native fnds this er$e!t relationshi, s=he is !aable o$ sending

megabu!ks on the whole 8airytale wedding, too o$ten without

!onsidering the !ru!ial issues o$ intelle!tual !omatibility and

!ommuni!ation"

Jet the North Node%s struggle here is to ull away $rom the idea(l) o$

the $airytale marriage or relationshi (even i$ it%s only with the sel$/

living in a $antasy world o$ in!redible intri!a!y is one mark o$ the

&agittarius &outh Node) and $un!tion intelligently as a mentor or leader

in a real relationshi that isn%t ne!essarily *er$e!t,% but is intelle!tually

stimulating and based on attainable goals" Gemini North Node in the

1st asks the individual to develo his=her intelle!t and e'ress it,

hoe$ully without arrogan!e" Intelle!tual ability has to be based on a

realisti! edu!ation, even i$ that%s only an edu!ation you give yoursel$

by reading about !urrent a9airs"

ntil you%ve been bored out o$ your mind in a relationshi burdened by

oor !ommuni!ation, you don%t know what the !hallenge o$ an air sign

North Node in the 1st $eels like" ntil you e'erien!e sameness, staleideas, and what I !all !ul6de6sa! thinking, where no one ever thinks a

new thoughteveryou%ll understand that breaking out o$ the rut o$ a

boring >th house &outh Node will breathe new li$e into the North Node

in Gemini in the 1st" +his North Node will tolerate boredom and la!k o$





&eo $orth $ode in the st: I%ve known -uite a $ew

Imortant #eole with North Node here" +he thing is, nothing about this

!ombination o$ Nodes mani$ests *small%" ith A-uarius in the >th, these

guys have a lot o$ $riends, with whom they -uite o$ten over6identi$y, in

a way that%s similar to the &outh Node in Dibra in the >th (over6

identi$ying with the grou6mind is a hallmark o$ air sign Nodes, but I%m

not i!king on them, sin!e ea!h element has its own e'!esses)" ith

this !ombination, both the ther and &el$ are o$ten idealied" Anegatively6e'ressing >th house A-uarius Node trans$orms her $riends

into a large, imersonal grou that e'ists as a vehi!le $or the North

Node in Deo to e'ress hersel$"

+here are many (negative ego6related) dangers here, obviously, but

the biggest good that !an !ome out o$ this !ombination is $or the world

to get a great leader who knows how to seak to the *eole,% sin!e

s=he identifes with real eole who have real roblems" Deo in the 1st

!an be a *natural% leader, but let%s look at what has to be given u to

get there< all his nameless, ossibly invisible E$riendsF who *arove% o$

him" +he >th house &outh Node in A-uarius !an, too easily, be held

ba!k by a la!k o$ one or two true $riends" +he leader s=he needs to be

is o$ten s-uel!hed by the (otherwise meaningless) voi!es o$ his eer

grou"

+he frst !risis will haen during his or her adoles!en!e, sin!e

A-uarius, ruled by ranus, resonds dramati!ally to eer ressure" +he

thing is, this !ombination o$ Nodes needs to fnd the right grou to

lead" n!e again, that sounds easy, but as with any North Node -uest,it !an be one o$ the hardest things this erson will ever asire to"



'irgo $orth $ode in the st: +he -uest here is

toward !aability and skill, and knowledge based on e'erien!e and

logi!" +he &outh Node in #is!es in the >th $un!tions very di9erently

than does Hirgo, so this !ombination imlies that the relationshi with

the &el$ might sometimes be sabotaged by emotional issues and

artners the North Node erson fnds hard to understand"

8or both signs, !larity o$ urose is the issue" Getting bogged down in

relationshi issues means that the North Node here tris overemotionally6laden terminology s=he will send years o$ his or her li$e

trying to understand rationally" +his usually means reading a lot o$

how6to books and reading a lot o$ advi!e !olumns"

North Node in the 1st in Hirgo has a desire to understand ersonal

e'erien!es through a ro!ess o$ analysis and !ategoriation" +he

relationshis s=he ursues will o$ten de$y being slotted into !ategories"

&=he will be !hallenged to *!ontain% her otherwise ine'li!able emotions

when in relationshi to another" 'erimentation in an e9ort to er$e!t

her relationshi skills is imortant to the native, but there%s a *danger%

here that the individual kees trying someone new instead o$

er$e!ting the &el$" +he other danger is that this erson resists

relationshi altogether in the -uest $or individualied sel$6er$e!tion"

#is!es &outh Node !arries mystery with it, and will magnetie the North

Node into $as!inated dumb$ounded6ness when !on$ronted with

irrationality" Diving u to the North Node here o$ten re-uires a real

break with &outh Node #is!ean romanti!ism, unless the North Node

fnds a way to live with someone who is very unlike him, in terms o$ersonality tyes" +his is one o$ the $ew Nodal !ombinations that ends

u with the ersonality having to make a fnite de!ision between one

way o$ being or the other"

.ore than with other signs, you%ll see the &outh Node in #is!es%

abilities held on to via the artner, who lives out the unre!ognied &el$"



+his allows the North Node to e'ist in the relationshi as an observer"

+rue understanding o$ the artner is di;!ult, and that%s the real

!hallenge $or this North Node< understanding the other without

!riti-ue, !ommentary, or disdain" +he North Node here also might

ursue *er$e!tion% in the relationshi at the !ost o$ its sentimental,

romanti! sel$"

&ibra $orth $ode in the st: +he theme here is the

struggle to defne &el$ and ther and then have these two verydi9erent realities !oe'ist" Ceveloing North Node abilities means that

the &outh Node in Aries in the >th house will eventually have to learn

how to share" All o$ the things that don%t !ome naturally to Aries &outh

Nodesharing, being overlooked, !oming lastare lived out in

ersonal relationshis, and boy, let me tell you, you%re not oular, but

&outh Node in Aries usually doesn%t !are until the North Node in Dibra

begins to realie 4ust how unoular s=he really is"

+hat%s when the &el$, the wat!her who atrols our innermost reality,

starts to wake u and take resonsibility $or &outh Node Aries% inability

to make !on!essions in relationshis" Dibra North Node will want to be

liked, never more so than in the 1st" +he 1st house North Node under

all !ir!umstan!es means that the erson identifes, or will identi$y,

eventually, with the -ualities o$ the North Node" Dibra, by its very

nature wants to get along with eole, and doesn%t do well i$ she

suse!ts (or worse, knows) others don%t like her"

+he thing is, Aries &outh Node is, under all !ir!umstan!es, one o$ the

most di;!ult &outh Nodes to have in relationshis, sin!e Aries, by itsvery nature, wants what it wants, and getting along with you $or the

sake o$ the relationshi does not !omute in Aries &outh Node%s brain,

unless the rest o$ the !hart suorts the desire to be in a relationshi

in the frst la!e"



As $ar as this &outh Node is !on!erned, he !an get along without you

4ust fne" hen it !omes to relationshis, this arti!ular !ombination is

the most !hallenging/ the 1st=>th house a'is !ombined with Dibra=Aries

Nodes re-uires the most work on the &el$" @elationshis are hard under

all !ir!umstan!es over the long term/ with this !ombination, the li$e

urose is to fnd a way to be in one and make it work" +hat%s all"

Scorpio $orth $ode in the st: +he &el$ is

!hallenged to e'ress its ower in relationshis without entirelydominating, !ontrolling, or smothering the artner" +his re-uires

fnesse, whi!h is learned over time, and a lot o$ sel$6inLi!ted angst in

relationshis" +he &outh Node in +aurus in the >th has a lot o$ trouble

letting go o$ old relationshi atterns, and might even have trouble

letting go o$ old relationshis, lovers, and e'es" +he North Node here is

tugged toward sel$6e'amination, sel$6awareness, and trans$ormation"

+he &outh Node is 4ust as ower$ul, though/ it tugs the ersonality

towards its habits" +he habits here lean towards the redi!table, the

!om$ortable, and the known" +his usually means, in the >th house,

eole who don%t !ause the individual a lot o$ stress" 8or most eole,

this means disallowing the North Node to send a lot o$ time in

introse!tion, sin!e introse!tion is di;!ult and stress$ul" &el$6

awareness, the kind that &!orio is !aable o$, will be the !hallenge $or

this North Node" &el$6awareness !an only beneft relationshis, but

under any !ir!umstan!es, the individual should be en!ouraged to know

him or hersel$ with this Nodal a'is, sin!e s=he must beware the

une'amined li$e" ith +aurus &outh Node in the >th, i$ you insist onleading an une'amined li$e, don%t be surrised i$ similarly unaware

eole !lutter u your e'isten!e, sin!e you%re drawing them to you"



Sagittarius $orth $ode in the st: +he ath here

might be literal, in that a develoing North Node ersonality in

&agittarius might very well be!ome a tour guide or tea!her o$ some

kind, living eretually in movement, on the road, or with their head

buried in a book" +he goal here $or the native is to learn how to oint

$ollowers and students on the right road $or the sake o$ learning"

:e!ause o$ their devotion to knowledge and truth, this North Node

osition might generate -uite a $ollowing, but their $ollowers might notalways be sin!ere in their motivations" ill this arti!ular Nodal

!ombination in the 1st ever settle down to one se!if! relationshi7

It%s entirely likely that the -uest itsel$ will be aramount $or this erson,

ese!ially i$ the &outh Node in Gemini in the >th is in ase!t to lanets

in mutable signs, or the ruler o$ the >th house !us is mutable

(Gemini)"

&in!e the urose o$ this arti!ular North Node is to seek a greater

understanding o$ &el$ on its own sel$6aointed ath and transmit that

knowledge to anyone who%ll $ollow along, the erson (or more likely,

ersons) they fnd to share their lives with will have to let this

individual go, or be reared to 4oin them on the hiking trail o$ li$e"

+he &outh Node in Gemini in the >th is !aable o$ being a hay6go6

lu!ky, s!attered, !harming and !heer$ul !ombination, so that ast

relationshis have little long6term meaning, there%s not a lot o$

sentimentality, and everyone who%s willing remains this erson%s

$riend" +he danger here is la!k o$ deth o$ $eeling/ these Nodes are

o$ten too busy having a good time fnding the ne't adventure ora!tivity to worry too mu!h about the other erson%s needs or deeer,

une'lored $eelings" hat matters is having $un, learning about the

sel$, and a!tivity/ it%s not, on its own, a deely introse!tive Nodal

!ombination, but o$ !ourse, this !ould be !ontradi!ted by the rest o$

the !hart"



hallenges to this 1st ouse North Node !ome $rom eole who

threaten to ull him or her o9 the !hosen ath/ you%d better have a

!omelling rationale why they shouldn%t $ollow that rainbow, otherwise

they%re outta here" .y e'erien!e with this !ombination is that i$ you

tag along behind them you%ll do 4ust fne/ but most North Node

&agittarius eole will ush you out o$ the way i$ you inter$ere with

their goals"

Jou might get a ost!ard $rom some $araway lo!ation, but it%s not likely

to say Ewish you were hereF and mean it i$ you%ve roven too di;!ult

or demanding o$ their time and attention" onversely, show them how

e'!iting the ne't mountain to looks, and they might $ollow you" 8or

this Nodal !ombination, ro!ess is more imortant than rodu!t, the

4ourney more imortant than arrival, so you might be in a long6term,go6nowhere relationshi $or a very long time, sin!e !ommitment is a

skill North Node in &agittarius is being !hallenged to learn the value o$"

Capricorn $orth $ode in the st: +he sel$ ushes

this Nodal a'is towards a!hievement and ambition, but the &el$, whi!h

is another way o$ saying the esoteri! ersonality that always asires to

nobility o$ urose, is $or!ed to remember everyone who suorted

him or her along the way" I$ you wanted to roll out a -ui!k and dirty

ath toward *solving% the *roblem% this nodal a'is o$ten resents, it

would be to make your asirations in li$e line u with taking !are o$ old

eole or !hildren" It%s not more !omli!ated than that"

:ut wait" Di$e is always more !omli!ated than that" #eole with this

Nodal a'is o$ten fnd older relatives to be a burden/ or that $amily, thewi$e and kids, revent them $rom *getting ahead%, yet the native !an%t

sto heling eole who need them" 8riends seem to re-uire more !are

than one *should% have to give" +he key to this arti!ular Nodal a'is is

not to let your !omassion overwhelm you" Jour lover shouldn%t be

your !hild, nor should you be your wi$e%s baby" I$ you%re going to attain



everything the North Node in ari!orn would like to lead you towards,

you%re going to have to give u the e'!essive neediness, or,

!onversely, the e'!essive giving"

+he best use o$ North Node in ari!orn in the 1st energy is to be the

@o!k o$ Gibraltar others look to you to be/ $ulfll your obligations and

fnd a ath that balan!es out either your, or the other%s, emotional

needs, with your duties" +he otential down$all to this !ombination is

how grim North Node in ari!orn !an be i$ it%s overburdened" It%s

entirely ossible that what nobility looks like in this house is a sti9

uer li in the $a!e o$ troubles, but i$ so, then the other will be asked

to take some o$ the burden o9 this beleaguered erson"

Any time you fnd ari!orn !ombined with the 1st house, it !an be

di;!ult to get these guys to delegate, so i$ you see this !ombinationresembling &!rooge, look to see i$ they are ignoring their basi!

emotional needs" n!e this !ombination stos leaning too heavily on

$amily and $riends every time they get s!ared, relationshi issues

usually begin to resolve, but it !an take a very long time $or them to

learn the sel$6!ontainment and sel$6relian!e North Node in ari!orn in

the 1st is ushing them towards"

ari!orn=an!er in the 1st6>th house a'is is one o$ the more di;!ult

!ombinations to have when it !omes to e'ressing emotions smoothly

in relationshis, and it might be ne!essary to have a big dis!ussion

about getting $amily issues $rom the ast (&outh Node in an!er in the

>th) resolved via theray be$ore one undertakes a marriage or other

ermanent bond" I$ you think what I 4ust said belongs in the ?th house,

realie that &outh Node in an!er brings with it $amily6related issues

with the otential to oison its $uture relationshis i$ what they learned

to believe about themselves early in li$e isn%t addressed !ons!iously in

adulthood"



A(uarius $orth $ode in the st: +his is su!h an

interesting, and one !ould even say, !on$ounding !ombination,

be!ause the 1st house, amongst other issues, is *about% the individual,

yet the A-uarian version o$ individuality usually in!ororates the wide

world o$ ther #eole" &o who, re!isely, is this North Node erson in a

ersonal, one6on6one relationshi7 Is this erson ever going to be truly

hay sharing their orld &tage limelight with one other erson7

I think a great deal deends on how this erson was treated in!hildhood/ were their needs $or attention met7 I$ the &outh Node in Deo

is !arrying a large nar!issisti! wound, where they did not get the

attention they needed (and deserved) or, !onversely, were given

attention, but $or a!hievement the native $elt was undeserved or

unwanted, the North Node will fnd it di;!ult to relate to grous" +he

identity is $ormed around emty a!hievement, at the negative end, or

on uni-ue $orms o$ !reativity, at the ositive end o$ the se!trum o$

ossibilities"

I$ the &outh Node in Deo $eels good about itsel$, and its attainments (it

$eels it deserved the kudos and a!!laim) the greater the likelihood the

North Node will be able to share this develoed &el$" I$ the &outh Node

e'erien!e was damaging, though, the A-uarius ersona !arried

around in the 1st house, in relationshi to sel$ and others, will aear

$alse, a brittle, $ake mask hiding the la!k o$ sel$6esteem"

In ersonal relationshis, this Nodal A'is has the otential to give too

mu!h to the other, sin!e Deo is known $or its generosity, but A-uarius

does really see the broader i!ture and $eels more !om$ortable livingon a larger world6stage, so i$ you abandon others to your larger vision,

and take !are o$ the Grou needs (through volunteering, getting

involved in oliti!s, hilanthroy) but ignore your signif!ant other,

you%re o9 the ath"



+he goal is to integrate Deo%s ersonal warmth with A-uarius% ability to

see what everyone needs" In this way, this !ombination !an $un!tion to

the satis$a!tion o$ everyone, and A-uarius% sense o$ sel$ as the good

guy everyone loves will be based on $a!tual eviden!e rather than sel$6

aggrandiing wish$ul thinking"

+his Nodal !ombination, by the way, makes $or the ideal oliti!ian,

arti!ularly i$ s=he attra!ts a >th house souse who agrees with the

larger hilosohi!al rin!iles A-uarius% North Node believes in" +he

1st=>th house a'is, aside $rom the Nodal a'is, is always looking $or a

EsouseF or artner who makes the 1st house erson look good, and

with the North Node here, looking good isn%t 4ust about ugrading

one%s aearan!e or behaviors/ it%s also about living u to A-uarian6

style ersonal ideals"

)isces $orth $ode in the st: &a!rif!e and hard

work are themes in this Nodal a'is" +he &outh Node in Hirgo brings with

it the belie$ that relationshis re-uire work, and the North Node won%t

be hay until it has subsumed its ersonal needs into the needs o$

the other" #ossibly no other Nodal a'is has the otential to get it so

right, or, in the worst !ase s!enario, so terribly wrong, to kee a

relationshi going"

hat do they get right7 ell, it%s true that i$ a relationshi is going to

work long6term, both eole need to learn how to sa!rif!e some o$

their own selfsh needs $or the sake o$ what they%re both trying to build

together" +hat%s a growth and maturity ro!ess most eole learn over

time in a long6term marriage, and it%s a skill that the &outh Node inHirgo in the >th has a great likelihood o$ having a!hieved"

owever, sel$6sa!rif!e isn%t ne!essarily the most leasant way o$

develoing the &el$, so the issue o$ defning one%s sel$ and &el$

be!omes a!ute with #is!es North Node" &hould these eole asire to

be .other +heresa in this li$etime7 It%s a very di;!ult ath to walk,



arti!ularly be!ause the identity $orms around the issues o$ sa!rif!e

and sel$6abnegation" Not all relationshis are about roman!e, so these

eole will most likely be attra!ted to eole who make them work

hard, but $or whom they !an Elong,F as #is!es likes to do/ it beats

having a relationshi with a real erson, be!ause real eole are ard

ork"

&ometimes, this Nodal a'is begets an attra!tion to relationshis that

be!ome a kind o$ unattainable oly Grail, arti!ularly i$ the native is in

the middle o$ develoing the #is!ean North Node%s ability to

emotionally bond with another without a!tually needing to tou!h them"

In the 1st, the North Node be!omes giving in a distant, EI need nothing

but to gae uon youF kind o$ way" @oman!e then be!omes a ro!ess

o$ des!ribing dreams and !olors, writing oetry, et!" It%s lovely, andsin!e it is art o$ the #is!ean North Node need to develo his artisti!,

dreamy, oeti!al abilities, this behavior $un!tions as a signost

ointing the &el$ toward a lovely, loving ersonality that buds like a red

rose in bloom"

&outh Node in Hirgo in the >th might be attra!ted to eole who are a

lot o$ work" +he eole the Hirgo Node magneties run the gamut $rom

deendable, earth6sign tyes who also know the meaning o$ hard work,

to di;!ult, ranting shrews who ound on the Loorboards with their

!ane, waiting $or you to !ome and emty their bedan" #is!es North

Node is trying to lead you towards an awareness o$ the ther%s

essen!e, disembodied, $ormless, e'isting in otential and sirit/ but

&outh Node Hirgo reminds you, relentlessly, that human beings !ome

with bodies and hysi!al ailments and demands"

+he North Node might over6identi$y him or hersel$ as a temeramental

reative Artist or oet and disavow anyone who makes any real6world

demands uon him" +he roblem is, this arti!ular Nodal A'is attemts

to balan!e two very di9erent energies" ne is balan!ing the !he!kbookwhile the other is balan!ing its !hakras"

+his Nodal !ombination, be!ause o$ the very obvious di9eren!es in

values, also has the greatest otential, in my oinion, $or sy!hologi!al

slitting, ro4e!ting o9 e'e!tations atta!hed to one Node or the other"

+he other is then demonied" &ometimes, $or the #is!es North Node to

survive and develo, s=he must disavow eole $rom her Hirgo &outh



Node ast, ese!ially to'i! lovers and e'es with substan!e abuse

roblems"

sually, o$ !ourse, #is!es is too kind to do this !ons!iously, and so

dri$ts o9, wondering why you haven%t written or !alled/ when in $a!t,

she was so busy ignoring the hone she didn%t realie you%d given u

trying to be in relationshi with her at all" &outh Node in Hirgo won%t

give u even the most di;!ult relationshi, usually, but eventually,

something in the North Node #is!es will EevolveF ast you, until you

dri$t aart" 8rom the North Node%s erse!tive, it%s kinder than telling

you the truth, whi!h is that you were 4ust too damned mu!h trouble,

and how !an the #is!es North Node write her oetry while you kee

nagging $or your tea7

Integration here !omes on little !at $eet" +here will !ome a day whenthe #is!es North Node identifes himsel$ with all the !aring little

attentive details #is!es is !aable o$/ and, at the same time, doesn%t

abandon the relationshi be!ause too mu!h is asked o$ him and it%s all

too mu!h trouble" A truly develoed North Node in #is!es shows u

both hysi!ally and emotionally$or the loved one"
