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

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

&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

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$"

+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

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
