South Node Twelfth House, North Node Sixth House
If you look at the Nodes from a re-incarnational viewpoint, then you view the South Node as descriptive of your last life, or lives, in terms of what you didn’t get right---what you still need to work on in this life, and the default pattern that you fall back onto when life becomes stressful. Your Soul wants to move away from the habits of the South Node, and yearns to move towards the qualities of your North Node.
The South Node in the Twelfth House of the subconscious, hints that you may have spent many lifetimes in dissolution of the ego—either through meditation and spiritual quests or drug/alcohol abuse, co-dependence, of confinement in convents, prisons, or asylums. You might also have felt exiled or ostracized from your community in some way, and in this life there’s a desire to regain your identity, your sense of Self, and to manifest your vision in a concrete way here on Earth.
For you to re-engage your ego, you need to develop the perspective of the marketplace and the valley, rather than the mystic view from the mountaintop. There’s a need to get good at handling the mundane details of life. You bring with you now a compassionate and perhaps mystical understanding of life which needs to be grounded in the affairs of this world. With a newly restored ego and persona you are better able to navigate the first half of your life, and the unconscious gold in the shadow of your twelfth house waits for you as you enter the second half of life with a stable ego intact.
So you’ll want to leave behind: feeling yourself to be a victim, escapism and addictive tendencies, withdrawal and feelings of inadequacy, oversensitivity and the avoidance of planning. The qualities for you to develop are: bringing order to chaos, creating routines, focusing on the here and now, being of service to others, taking risks in spite of fears, and choosing to value and analyze details.
With this Nodal axis there can be a desire for a person or mentor who you can totally trust. You want to let go into something larger than yourself that will support you, but you are more likely to get this when you go out into the world and are of service to others first. There you are more likely to find the people and mentors you desire, but you might even find that you don’t need them as much as you thought! In this emerging into the “marketplace” and sharing your gifts and talents, you may find that you yourself are the trusted mentor that you have been looking for….you’ve become your own best authority, and are now truly the author of your own life!

Thank you very much for this. I needed to hear this.
ReplyDeleteThank you. This was very helpful to me too.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. I have a South Node Sagittarius in the 12th House, North Node Gemini in the 6th House.
ReplyDeleteI've had these very strong urges for as long as I can remember to get my PhD and pursue scientific research while also being a role model for others. It seems as if my destiny is to lecture and communicate on a wide scale while being of service to others. And this is exactly what I'm going to do. It's my soul's destiny, and the more I think about it, the more I feel shivers run down my spine.
Very empowering, to say the very least.
Thankyou - very compassionate and wise as well as really helpful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth Spring, you are always so insightful.
ReplyDeleteDescribes me exactly.
ReplyDeleteI was fulfilling my life purpose by managing to achieve the top ranked website in keywords “metaphysics” and “vedanta” in Google and Yahoo from 1998 - 2002, and ranked 11th in google in “quantum theory.” It has since been taken down by someone evidently affiliated with Earthlink, who was *suspiciously* unwilling to sell the url back to me. In any event, I was apparently helping many people and never accepted money for it, despite being on a marginally fixed income. I felt it my duty and privilege.
