North Node Capricorn

North Node Capricorn, South Node Cancer

Integrity is the key to your life. By following your personal code of ethics and beliefs you have an inner compass for your life. As you develop self-control and self-care while approaching life in a goal oriented manner, you integrate the lessons of your past and bring your dreams into reality. In former lives, or earlier in this one, you were more concerned with the process of life rather than your goals and visions, and were overly immersed in your emotional life. At times you succumbed to moodiness and a dependence on others that was not healthy. Now you are learning to truly be the author of your life: the "author-ity" and are finding the satisfactions of independence.

By setting positive and reachable goals, and taking the steady steps to reach them, you release old fears of rejection and find that you have what it takes to be a leader and a person in authority. This may feel quite new, as you may have spent other lifetimes in which you were a householder and identified with your role in your family and clan. You may still have some difficult family karma to resolve, but you're willing and able to do what needs to be done. You are not one to be irresponsible and you are not naive either.

In this life you are called to be a builder, a creator, and a preserver of all that is valuable. You have a deep respect for the good part of traditions that have been handed down, and you may find yourself given the opportunity to succeed in the world in a surprising way. Others see your integrity, and trust that you can be the person of authority.

Because of your innate seriousness and strong work ethic you can sometimes feel isolated from others, so make it a point to find ways to lightly and creatively express yourself, as well as finding loyal friends to cheer and encourage you. You are more respected and loved than you realize.

As you pick up the gold in your Cancer South Node, you'll find that any left-over tendencies to control others by emotional over reactions and manipulations will fall away as you come into your own. You have a keen sense of intuition and yet you may feel at times as if you are blocked, or don't want to open up fully to all your emotions--sometimes it feels like dangerous territory. Trust your intuitions, and go at your own pace.

Although this is written for NNode Caps, it is also speaks to Capricorn Sun as well~can any of you readers and bloggers see yourself in this?

Neith’s Thoughts on the North Node in Capricorn

Capricorn is a sign I’ve become much more interested in and am starting to gain a deep appreciation for over the last couple of years, largely because my Sun has progressed into Capricorn along with Mars, my Ascendant and now the Moon. All of the attributes Elizabeth discusses in relation to the North Node are in the process of becoming part of my path. Getting down to business and looking for good, pragmatic win-win scenarios are all on my agenda (good Capricorn word). I did notice a big difference in overall tone from the progressed Sun in Sagittarius years when there was a tendency to skip the details and fly by the seat of my pants!

I have found a lot more wonderful Sun, Moon and Rising Capricorn people turning up in my life too. They are good, reliable sorts usually with this marvelous, subtle sense of humor. Family is important to the Capricorn/Cancer axis and often plays a significant role in the lives of these folks, occasionally by the absence of a parent, sometimes physically and sometimes emotionally. Perhaps the need here is to learn to become your own “parent”, learn to set boundaries to define who you are and tell yourself you are OK.

Saturn is the planet to look at in the charts of those with this North Node because he rules Capricorn and how he is aspected in the natal chart can give us clues about what we need to learn. All Saturn transits are important and the Saturn Returns are usually life changing events of the first order. I see Saturn as an essential component in the creative process too because he shows us how to edit and define our creations.

So remember to polish up your sense of humor and trust in your innate abilities to prioritize and know what incredibly valuable people you are . . . and how lost the rest of us would be without you!
