There are two nodes of the Moon, the North Node and the
South Node. These areas of the chart are always in opposition (180 degrees
apart). They are known as destiny’s gate
or the axis of fate. These Nodes have a karmic and spiritual relevance
and some say they are the meeting point between the higher powers and humanity
as a whole. This is where the spiritual energies enlighten humanity with
their life’s mission. It speaks about where we should be heading (North
Node) and where we have come from in a life that has significant ties to this
one (South Node).
The South Node has connections with our past, and we bring with
us qualities that we can use in this life to help us connect with our current life’s
mission. The South Node is an area or energy that we are comfortable
with, as these energies are instinctively familiar. The North Node, however, is completely new
and rather unknown to us. Most of us are
a little uncomfortable with the energies of our North Node (NN). However,
life tends to keep pushing us towards our NN objectives. We are linked to the NN as this is what we
need to learn and to develop and use as our journey continues.
It takes some courage in surrendering to our NN energies and
direction in life. New areas are opened
and revealed to us over time, and they are necessary traits to be acquired in
order to facilitate the growth required by the soul.
The North and South Node often provide us with information
so we can decipher why we have come into this life and what our purpose truly is.
It is said that what happens in this life is tied to what we have experienced
previously.
The North Node is known as the dragon’s head while the South
Node is known as the dragon’s tail. These nodes although coming from
different perspectives will aid in our quest and foster growth through life’s
experience that will eventually lead us to where we are meant to go. The
North Node and South Node are defined by sign and house position. For
example since they are always 180 degrees apart, if you have a NN in Pisces in
the third house, you will have a SN in Virgo in the ninth house.
The house position is similar to having the ruling sign
position. As a result, if, for example,
you have the NN in the first house, it is like having the NN in the first sign
of Aries. The SN would be in the seventh house which would be like having
the SN in Libra. Between the Nodal sign position and the Nodal house
position, you will get a good idea of what life’s mission might be. Many
in early life are led by the SN node tendencies as this is a comfortable place. As we mature into ourselves, we begin to
develop our NN abilities and move into our destined path.
