Aries North Node; The Quest for Courage
With your Aries North Node you are called to bring
forth the independent and courageous side of you…even if it means putting
yourself in situation that stress you out! Courage is the high road for Aries,
and each time you step up to the plate and accept a challenge you are on the
high road. Aries North Node people are meant to be the one who goes first—the
pioneer, the entrepreneur and the sacred warrior of the zodiac.
You may not feel like the fearless one but in the
past—either earlier in this life or in a
former life you were likely to have been enmeshed in another person’s life and
you gave away the unique Self that you truly are. You may have heeded too closely
to rules of justice, reason and skillfully getting along but it came at the
price of compromising parts of yourself in a deadening attempt to please and
accommodate.
Now you are called to give way to a more exciting,
truthful, and passionate nature. Inter-dependence rather than co-dependence is
called for now. With your Aries North Node you understand the paradoxical
nature of people and life, and you have a keen intelligence and humor that
often surprises people. When you dare to act and speak outside the norm you can
delve surprisingly deep.
In a nutshell, your soul purpose has to do with
depending on your own resources and skills rather than enmeshment with others.
It doesn’t mean you can’t marry or partner with someone else but you must be
careful not to lose yourself in the relationship. And you may often need to
take “the road less traveled.”
“Going along with things” is not the route for you,
as it leads you into the shadows. Rather show others a new way to do and act
and do that with your natural enthusiasm and good taste.
Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung both had North Node in
Aries. It was very important for each of them to break away from the norms and
conventions of their time and bring forth a new psychology into the world.
Jung’s break with Freud was necessary for both of them to come to their full
potential.
