North Node in the Third House in Astrology

The house position of the Moon’s (Lunar) North and South nodes is very important.  Not only do the nodes have relevance in the sign they are placed but the house position is important as well, partly because house placements define areas of life.  As we mentioned in a previous post, the North Node by definition speaks in part about what you have come to do in this life.  If you take into consideration the sign placement of your North Node and house position, as well as the positions and placements of the South Node, you can begin to get a clear picture of why you are here and where you have come from.

Please see our blog http://holmastrology.blogspot.ca/2013/12/lunar-nodes.html posted on Tuesday, 31 December, 2013 for a description of the Moon or Lunar Nodes in Astrology.

Today we will focus on the North Node in the third house.  With the North Node in this house, communication is one of the key ingredients in this life.  You have a unique way of expressing yourself and do this in your own style and will not follow along blindly by what is dictated by others.  You probably do well at expressing yourself especially later on in life, unless there are mitigating circumstances especially linked to Mercury in your Natal chart. 

You will learn primarily through life’s experiences and day-to-day living.  There are often key interests in specific subjects and you are a gatherer of information.  You will use this information while seeking evidence and proof along the way.  You are not the type to take life at face value and enjoy exploring the deeper facets and uncovering the truth of the matter.  This is an excellent place for study and intellectual pursuits, as often the mental capacities are heightened.

Some with this placement become proficient writers and may follow this line of pursuit once they find an area of expertise and enjoyment.  The subject has to be deep with a continuous flow of information, as any material that produces quick results would not appeal to most people with this placement of their North Node.  Much depend on the sign of the North Node.  If for example the North Node were in Gemini, the intellect might be more scattered than if it were in Scorpio.  The Scorpio individual would delve deep into subjects while the Gemini would be more versatile and would prefer to have a knowledge that is diversified and wide.  This placement is often linked to nervousness as they are often learning what true interaction with others is all about. 

With the South Node in the ninth house (always opposite the North Node) you have come from a place where you gained much information on spirituality and religion.  Sagittarius is the natural ruler of the ninth house and with this, you were a philosopher in previous lifetimes and have brought with you plenty of information from these lives.  This information can be used in this life to further your education which is often gathered through life’s experience.  Higher studies are often linked with this South Node positioning.

There may have been a lot of freedom to roam in previous lifetimes and this adventurous spirit may still be alive and well.  In the past, you may have travelled alone or ventured alone (or at the very least with few individuals) and now the whole concept of communication with many individuals is quite foreign to you.  It might be somewhat awkward until you become comfortable in your own skin.  Once accomplished, your knowledge and communication abilities can rise to the surface.  Clear communication is something that has to be worked on in this life.

Some with this placement become public speakers due to all the higher knowledge they have brought with them.  Freedom to roam and a love for the wide open spaces is still often a need.  There is often teaching abilities linked to this placement and the ability to spread knowledge that has significant impacts on those around individuals with this nodal placement.  This is the communicator of the word which can relay messages far beyond the normal confines of everyday living.
