NORTH NODE IN THE FOURTH HOUSE IN ASTROLOGY

Since we are in the sign of Cancer and Cancer rules the fourth house, we are going to continue on this theme and speak about the North Nodes position in the fourth house in the Birth chart.  The North Node is our intended path in this life, while the South Node describes a previous existence and where we have come from.  We are here to discover our purpose through the application of the North Node’s characteristics.  We are to use some of our talents associated with the South Node only as assistance to help move us forward in the direction of our North Node.

 

The fourth house Nodal characteristics are completely foreign to us and we will have to work to learn these characteristics.  If the North Node is in the fourth house, the South Node (which is always directly opposite) will be in the tenth house.  The South Node placement is a very comfortable place for us, as it is where we have come from.  We can easily fall back in to these habits but this is not how we will progress in our spiritual evolution.

 

With the North Node in the fourth house, we have come into this incarnation to create a solid foundation for our children and loved ones.  Security is very important and we wish to secure a home and family to teach us about nurturing and taking care of others.  In some cases, there are issues around parenthood.  Some have difficulty producing a family and some have issues within the family unit and must learn compassion, understanding and unfiltered love.   Giving of oneself through the family is often one of the lessons that must be experienced with this combination.

 

Quite often the Mother or mother figure holds a very important role in the lives of these individuals with this Nodal positioning.  In some cases, the father figure is missing in some way and often the relationship with the mother is much stronger than the relationship with the father.  There is a close kinship although this does not necessarily mean that the relationship is a smooth one.  There is just a closeness which is often linked to learning nurturing and caring (as this is part of the fourth house Nodal assignment).

 

With the South Node in the tenth house, often these individuals bring forward executive abilities.  They would have been in a leadership role in a past life and now still feels the pull to take on responsibilities at work.  As the South Nodes position is something that must be steered away from, if the individual focuses on the profession and material gain, there is often a fall from grace at some point in life to steer the person back on their intended path.

 

There is a great need to learn what love and emotional enlightenment is all about in this life and many find fulfillment in the spiritual realms.  Meditation should be practiced on a regular basis to initiate this transformation.  You are the caregiver and the attendant who has been brought into this life to learn how to nurture others, which in turn will assist you in learning how to nurture yourself.

 

If there is a drive for succeed in this life or a push for financial gain or a drive to move up the ladder of success, you are functioning out of the wrong end of the nodes.  Find your fulfillment in the caring of those less fortunate as there is a essential need to look after the downtrodden and the lost or forgotten people of the world.  Nursing and caring for the elderly or psychology are often areas that will help to facilitate the fourth house North Node’s requirements .
