Aquarius North Node



Aquarius North Node, Leo South Node

Your soul yearns to dance to the rhythm of your own drumbeat, for in a former life or earlier in this life you may have lived a life that had little connection to your true Self. You may have had lifetimes when you were on center-stage and had a fair amount of attention.

You may also have grown accustom to feeling "special" but it still may not have been a good fit for your Soul. Now there is a desire to be loved and to share center stage with someone else who can return your passion. There is also a deep desire to be more true to yourself and not to follow the majority rule or herd instinct.

You care deeply about humanity and humanitarian ideas, but you need to risk disapproval from others to develop a more satisfying feeling of self approval. Because you are blessed with such a keen intellect and the ability to see things differently, you have a lot to offer the world.

Aquarius North Node folks who follow their Soul Path are so aware of the importance of equality and fairness, and are usually brave enough to share their ideas with others--they're the ones who write the Letters to the Editor and organize the peace rallies. Non-conformists, romantics, exiles and genius's---your challenge is to inform and balance your keen intellect with the sometimes irrational promptings of your heart. Yet there's always a need for greater objectivity, and a need to leave behind making changes just to exercise authority. As you learn to relate to others apart from their roles, as equals...your desire for friendship will grow. You thrive best when you nurture yourself and others with your warmth and fresh ideas.

It will be important to leave behind any old melodramatic tendencies to insist on doing things your own way, and taking dramatic risks. When you ask God and the Universe for what you want and then let it go, you allow life to bring you exactly what you need with its own perfect timing. Relax feelings that you need to control and be too responsible for everything.

Aquarius NN folks were blessed with the ability to see things that others cannot, and you are challenged to bring in new ideas especially in science and metaphysics. As an intellectual forerunner for the rest of us, we look to you to see where we're going.

As you turn on your path and retrieve the gold in the shadow of Leo you may want to rekindle the warmth and openness of that generous heart of yours, and then to turn that warmth and non-judgmental quality on yourself. Expect the unexpected in life and keep dancing to that distant drumbeat---life will surpriseyou and delight you, when you least expect it.

Elizabeth,
The explanation of the Aquarius North Node fits where I see my life going right now almost to a tee.

I have a question. Does everyone eventually have Aquarius moving into their North Node? Or is this specific to just some people's charts?
Thanks!

Hi Mgg~
No it's just specific to certain people's charts---however, the Nodes move, or "transit" just like the other planets do, and the NN is transiting through Aquarius for everyone now. But the Nodes are primarily meaningful in an individual's birth chart as they show hints about life direction and soul purpose, and qualities we want to keep, and those we want to let go of.....~elizabeth

I sent this post to a friend who has that configuration in her natal chart. Her Aquarius North Node is in the 10th...

Hi, Elizabeth,
I was so waiting for the time you got to this node! It is the definition of my node that I can relate to more of all the ones I have read, and I have read a lot.I have the North Node on the 4th house. With my SN on Leo on the tenth I have always felt that I held a positiion of authority in previous lifetimes because on first impression people perceive me as an authority figure even though I have never held such a position in my entire life or have that type of personality. I was born into a very wealthy family but after my parents divorced, when I was ten, my mother,brothers and I "fell from grace" and had to struggle for a living.It was life placing me in the right context to learn my North Node lesson. My life has been a quest to achieve freedom at the very core of my being from external approval and confirmation.I have always thought that the conditions we are born into can tells a lot of the previous life we are coming from. What is your oppinion on this? Thank you for such a wonderful blogg!

elizabeth spring said...

Nathifah~ Yes, I agree that the parents, place and conditions we are born into tells us something about the previous life. However my sense is that it's not always a literal or even metaphorical repeat of the past life situation, but a choice the soul makes between lives. And there is something in the birth situation that resonates with a challenge or a past pattern that the Soul wants to repeat and heal. And so we see the challenges and unfinished business of the South Node.....~elizabeth

A wonderful commentary and so right for me! Many thanks!

What do you think about two people with the same degree NN? I have a very close friend(opposite sex) with whom I feel a visceral attachment, we have the exact 12 Aquarius NN. Is that uncommon? All the best!!

Hi Anonymous~
Yes, I think it's a little unusual to have a friend with a North Node at the exact same degree....but the difference will probably be in the house placement. What a wonderful thing to be both learning similar things! Thanks for checking in....I've been away, and that's why I'm late responding...sorry. ~elizabeth
