#lunar node

In past lives you were superficial, changing your mind and opinions frequently. To balance your fickle and mercurial previous nature, you incarnated to learn loyalty and autonomy in this lifetime. Your soul experiences have left you fearing commitment to any one point of view, since you have learned over time to see the truth in both sides of an argument. You never gave wholly of yourself and thus were free to speak one way one day and another the next. You may still have the tendency to try on changing demeanors and opinions with those you meet until you get from the listener an acknowledgement that you have finally spoken “the truth” (as they see it anyway). Such behavior will not get you far in this lifetime. You must strive to ascertain and speak your own truth which will come to you through intuition and the higher mind. At some point in your life you will have to choose between living in the city and the country. This mirrors the deeper choice you must make between living a stimulating life among many acquaintances and a life of contemplation and solitude. Your greatest task in this lifetime is to seek the truth. This means leaving behind your love of trivia, gossip, and rumor. Appearances are no longer as importance as substance. For the north node in sagittarius, it’s vitally important to be natural and real, and deemphasize the urbane and sophisticated. If you are undeveloped spiritually, or perhaps very young, you may look on higher education with suspicion. You may not want to learn any more than you already know, no matter how little that is. You may have no goals that reach beyond tomorrow, be immature, bigoted, or sarcastic. Perhaps you cut off your life’s potential by marrying at a young age and starting a family. Another negative use of these nodes is someone who enjoys travel, but only to places that seem familiar. The soul of the north node in sagittarius will be happiest when you teach or otherwise share what you know. For a carrier of the north node in sagittarius, religion and philosophy will be especially interesting to you and are fields that may prove good for a career. Publishing and adult education are also positive. In your free time learn astrology, dream work, palm reading, and travel to foreign countries. Pets are also beneficial for the north node in sagittarius. In short, expand your horizons. Independence and solitude are the hallmarks of the life of the north node in sagittarius carrier. You are restless and should be curious, ever seeking that higher truth which will set you free. Avoid a tendency to become dogmatic or to change your opinions to please others. Your task in this lifetime is to develop for yourself and by yourself a unifying philosophy of life. This will give you direction and provide meaning, and it is unlikely this will happen before your first Saturn Return at about age 28. Fellow truth seekers with the placement of north node in sagittarius include Voltaire, Frederick Nietzsche, and Antoine de Saint-Exupery. As the philosopher said, a man must ask himself two questions in life: Where am I going and who will go with me? Your soul is here not just to find the answer to these questions, but to be sure they are asked in the proper order. Think for yourself, Centaur. No one can keep up with a four-legged creature. Others’ opinions are only going to slow you down.

North Node in 5th House indicates a past life dedicated to fulfilling wishes. Early in this incarnation, you reveled in your imagination and inventiveness, whiling away the hours daydreaming or losing yourself in fantasies. You are a mental traveler with a powerful dream life, and your challenge in this lifetime is to find the proper place for this. In an attempt to ground your energy, you may have tried to live vicariously through your friends, letting them act out your far-fetched fantasies. You had many friendships in past lifetimes, but you will find these are unfulfilling to you now. Perhaps no one is available to help when you really need it. Further, when you put group needs ahead of your own, you will lose every time. This is how the universe supports you in developing a strong sense of self. You were detached and wanted space in previous incarnations. Love may be hard to find, recognize, or keep in this lifetime since you have so little soul experience with it. It may come later in life once you’ve developed your sense of self. Intense one-on-one relationships are not comfortable for you, but you will find luck in any venture where you lead with your heart and involve yourself personally. Seek closeness and warmth with others. Embrace your intense creativity. Many of the most modern prolific artists share the north node in 5th house placement with you, including Picasso, Woody Allen, Allen Ginsburg, and Norman Rockwell, all known for their sustained ability to produce quality work. You, too, have such a drive. You may have difficulty dealing with your sexuality and blame childhood experiences for these issues. It is best to avoid such scapegoating since you are here to take responsibility for creating your own life. Further, sexuality per se is not the issue. As astrologers Bruno and Louise Huber explain of this node placement, sexuality is just one manifestation of a “direct, vital connection between one human being and another,” exactly what you incarnated to experience. Any time you attempt to come out of your dreams into the world of reality, you will find the support of the universe, for this is your task in this lifetime. As you take responsibility for the world you have created through your thoughts, you shape your own identity. You will see your dreams materialize, but you must own the process. For this reason, you should find good luck in the arts. Learn to be conscious of how you use your ability to wish things true. If you wish from lowly or base motives, you will find your fantasies materialize in perverse ways and you will have to live with their consequences longer than you ever imagined possible. Be sure your motives are pure. Children are important figures in your spiritual development. North Node in 5th House often signifies an exceptionally close relationship with them. Angelina Jolie, famous for her growing brood of kids, was born with this placement. So was Mother Theresa. Watch the dreams of the children you know come true and understand the relationship of this to the passage of time. Wishing for the future should not mean a negation of the present moment.Ultimately, you must not be a follower of dreams but someone who is grounded in the here and now. Only when you are fully in the present can you begin to use your past life gift of “wish power” (as astrologer Martin Schulman calls it) to create a better future for yourself and others. Learn to be where you are and who you are under all circumstances. The more of an individual you become, the happier you will be.
