I wanted to do a post on the North Node in the Natal Chart and in Synastry. The North Node in Astrology represents our destiny and the direction we are headed in this lifetime.
Where the South Node is placed -it’s always opposite the North Node-this tells us what we already know; this is an area of life accompanied by feelings of familiarity & comfort. We are meant to be working towards the direction of our North Node in this lifetime.
Personally, I give precedent to the house placement of the North Node over the sign; but you are welcome to incorporate both the sign and house placement.
In synastry I make a mental note of the nodal house overlays, and I absolutely find some Node connections important. However, I do think you can have a soul connection with someone and NOT have nodal contacts.
In Synastry we can look at house overlays and see where our North Node falls for another person and vice versa; the house placement of a person’s node in our own chart (and vice versa) can show how or what area of life we are encouraging one another to grow.
Random Node Aspects
A common placement I see in star crossed relationships is one person’s Venus square the Nodes of another.
If you can’t get rid of them or break away from one another Saturn in one chart is likely making an aspect to the nodes of the other persons.
Venus in one chart conjoining the South Node of another tells us this is a past life connection.
When one person’s Venus conjoins the North Node of another something about this connection is important to both parties’ personal development.
I want to encourage everyone to look at the planets they have conjunct the South node in their own Natal Chart and see what patterns, habits, thoughts, are holding you back from the direction of your North Node. Ask yourself how you can move toward your North Node? What is holding you back? What ancestral patterns or beliefs do you need to release in order to move in the direction of your destiny?
If you have natal planets conjunct the South Node -Particularly Sun & Moon, it can feel like you are in a holding pattern bound to ancestral patterning. How can you transcend these patterns instead of reliving them?
Revered Nodes can provide a piece to the puzzle:
When we have opposite nodal placements in synastry, for instance my North node is in my 8th house, and I meet someone and they have North Node in the 2nd house; we can show one another what traits each of us needs to develop to reach our full potential
