Too often, modern astrologers tell clients that going towards north node automatically means more success. I’ve been guilty of doing this too. The association between north node and positivity and south node with negativity is particularly weird when you consider the realities of global north hegemony.
Because Saturn is the exaltation lord of Jimin’s south node while his fallen Sun is the exaltation lord of his north node, Jimin ruthlessly controls himself and his own image as a way to deal with the security issues that result from the precarious nature of neoliberalism.
What Libra south node people tend to think they want is to win. This is because they’re anticipating things to be competitive even when they are not.
What Taurus north node people fear most of all is the idea that they might be worthy of love or affection or just existence without having to earn it first.
The one thing that I hear the most from Sagittarius south node people across the board is that they feel that they have to fix other people.
What really defines Capricorn south node is guilt. These people feel an immensity of guilt over who they are, who they are not, and about their bonds with family.
Aquarius south node Leo north node people have a watcher on the wall complex in which they like sit back on the sidelines and see something happen before they decide whether or not they want to get involved or not.
What Virgo north node is scared of is really very simple—it’s afraid of disappointing other people, of not fulfilling idealized expectations, and of making mistakes in real time.
Libra North Node Aries South Node people expect to be misfits. They expect alienation because they’ve learned how to depend on themselves as a survival skill.
Scorpio north node Taurus south node people inherit a feeling of loss—of having lost something sacred and important.
South node in Gemini people learn that secretiveness can create temporary security. They learn how to gloss over things, how to keep things on the back burner, and how to spin a true emotion so that it lands differently based on who they are speaking to.
A lot of Cancer south node people are born feeling as though they are supposed to solve the issue that is the family. A lot of them feel like they have to take on the responsibility of carrying a parent’s feelings for them.
Leo south node is used to trying to be a good kid. It is used to thinking that, if they could only be a good enough kid, that they would be safe.
Pisces north node is terrified of their pain. They tell themselves that it does not really exist, that it is useless, that it is unimportant, and that life is able to go on without this recognition of hurt.
What does it feel like to be trapped by birth? To be pushed to grow through being?
Houses six and twelve are often seen as inauspicious houses. Not only are they cadent, they are also averse to the horizon.
A good place to start with the south node in the fifth house is actually with food. Do you believe that you will be appropriately nourished with the food that is available to you?
This placement has a lot to do with feeling, sensing, and finding authority.
The ninth house is the house of faith. When the north node is in the ninth house, it’s actually really really hard to find faith and to keep faith around one’s dreams.
So, the second house and the eighth house represent resourcing and loss. There’s feeding and fullness. There’s dearth and scarcity.
I believe firmly that astrology isn’t a system built to diagnose all of the things that are wrong with you.
