#true node

A simple way to improve your life is by becoming friends with someone who has the opposite north node as you. 🌱

Their north node will be your south node and vice versa. 💕

South node is the energy we have mastered in previous life times and are moving away from. It is our natural talents. Y’all can work together to show what each other is lacking and needs to learn. ✨

The North Node represents the soul's evolutionary path and lessons to be learned in this lifetime.

When the North Node is direct ("d) in the birth chart, it means that the person has already gained some wisdom and experience in the lessons associated with their North Node sign and house placement in past lives. They have likely developed some mastery or understanding of the qualities represented by their North Node and are now ready to continue their soul's journey.

You can recognize it by the "d

Seeing the North Node direct means that the person in question has a clearer sense of their life purpose and the direction they need to take in this lifetime. They feel a natural affinity towards the qualities and experiences associated with their North Node, and they are more inclined to embrace the growth opportunities and challenges that come with it.

Having the North Node direct does not guarantee a smooth or easy path. The lessons and growth associated with the North Node are still ongoing, and the person might encounter challenges and setbacks along the way. The North Node direct simply indicates that they have already begun the journey and have some level of familiarity with the lessons involved.

North Node in the 1st House: Developing the self, accepting one’s uniqueness or individuality, practicing independence, asserting one’s self, and going after one’s needs may be needed to grow as a person.

North Node in the 2nd House: Stepping outside one’s comfort zone might involve nurturing inner stability. This person needs to work on developing a good sense of self-worth. Let go of unhealthy detachments. May need to tap into more realism and practicality.

North Node in the 3rd House: There may be karma to work out in terms of education, learning, unraveling early childhood, or relationship with community, siblings, and extended family. Learning to communicate better can be a lesson. Stepping outside their comfort zone may involve hidden knowledge, opening their mind, or going back to being a student or novice on something. Teaching others can be fulfilling. Overcoming shallowness, childish behavior, or gossip can be associated.

North Node in the 4th House: Lessons revolve around family, home, and past. Family may be involved in helping them step out of their comfort zone and to grow. This can mean leaving family or seeking their help or mending fences. Facing programming/how they were raised is associated.

North Node in the 5th House: Romantic relationships may play a part in growth. Self-expression and creativity are important tools for reaching their potential. Creating the self and their reality may be the main theme surrounding going outside their comfort zone.

North Node in the 6th House: A lot of their potential and growth is found through work, routine, and practicality. Working hard and accepting reality are important but difficult. Karma may be involved with health, service, humility, and cooperation. Surely the devils in the details here.

North Node in the 7th House: Relationships play an important role in growth however learning self love and how one can meet others needs without sacrificing their own may be more about what this house tells for the environment of growth. Cooperation, compromise, making peace, connecting deeper, finding mutual respect with others, and focusing on equality are lessons for this person. Learning how to love and how to relate are karmic.

North Node in the 8th House: Being more comfortable with depth, secrets, flaws, pain, and intensity are hard for them. To grow they must face their shadows, the unknow, their demons. Intimacy and sharing are important for growth along with accepting and exploring vulnerability.

North Node in the 9th House: Opening their mind and learning on a academic, spiritual, or deep level are important for growth. Addressing matters of belief and ritual can feel off but are needed. Karma revolves around sacred knowledge, morals, philosophy, and worldly experiences.

North Node in the 10th House: The outer world is also the outside of their comfort zone. Learning self-reliance in practical terms is important. Gaining confidence and focusing on reputation or who they are in the professional realm is a lesson. They may find empowerment and growth the most through career or being involved with those outside of family and close friends. Financial independence and finding meaning in their work is very important.

North Node in the 11th House: Friendships, feeling like they belong, and fitting in with or standing out from society are involved in their karmic lessons or growth. Being close with friends may seem strange, nurturing healthy friendships is important. Might need to learn how to better draw lines between friendship, family, and self. Being open to what a group wants can be a lesson. Learning to give support, acceptance, and respect to other people is important.

'There is no light, there is no light, there is no light!!!' - me thinking about the nodes this time last year.

Eclipses and nodes are associated with suddenness and incorrect predictions, poorly-fated ventures and devastation of human life.

This is because they steal the light.

The outers too demonstrate this phenomenon - they describe things we cannot see. There is no light, there is no information and warmth, the sight and life is removed from the concept.

Uranus is chaotic unpredictability

Neptune is narcotic confusion

Pluto is desolate devastation

And the nodes being digital points are the most invisible things, so they carry all these significations, especially given their natures as thieves of light.

This is how they can be associated with collective unconscious, it is a thing that cannot directly be seen.

Returning to the planets for a moment, I think the 'release of friction' significations can be seen as reflective of the short time during the Uranus-Solis opposition when it is technically visible unaided. It waits, hidden, tectonically for long periods of time before shattering

Neptune's discovery circumstances of having been at first mathematically predicted, but then discovered in a manner which disproves the math to me describes Neptunian significations of revelatory confusion and narcotic/hallucinatory influence.

welcome to what will likely become a series bc im a dumbass who asks a million and five questions !!😁😁 i hope someone actually sees this bc then i'll just be asking questions @ literally no one :(

|| - astro asks w bri - ||

qotd: the difference between true and north node !!

i use astro-charts.com to look up and study my birthchart but im a dummy and JUST realized that u have the option of also showing your asteroids n things on the chart !! so i clicked all the available astroids/astronomical locations and they showed up, v exciting, v cool - a whole new world of astrology to explore in my chart <33

the problem is !! my north node is in aries but my true node is in taurus (albeit LITERALLY 2 degrees apart) - nonetheless, this made me think "oh so they might be two different things?"

so under the impression my true node is NOT the same as my north node, i looked up what a true node is (if it's a celestial body or a point in space) and after some reading, most of what i was seeing said that the true node is basically the north node?? and there's also something called a mean node, but i didnt read much about it

so long story short: i am CONFUSED. because the big ol internet says that true and north node are the same. but i have my true and north node in different signs - even though they're only 2 degrees apart, it's still confusing because how can they be the same fixed point in space but also fall in 2 different signs (aka 2 different places) !?!??!

Okay so I should first explain smth.

Stellium: 3 or more planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) in the same house or sign. The nodes don't count. Although some astrologers count them if they're in the middle of the stellium (aka not the first or last 'planet').

Why don't nodes (north & south) count in stelliums?: They're not planets, they're calculated points in the sky based on the position of the Moon relative to the Earth & Sun.

North node, mean node, ascending node, true node... What's the difference?

North node & ascending node are synonyms, they mean the same thing.

The words mean node and true node both refer to the moon's North node (or ascending node, whatever you want to call it).

What's the difference between mean node and true node? The only difference is how they've been calculated. These two can't be more than 2.5° apart from each other but the calculation is different.

Mean node: When astronomers calculate the Mean Node, they take the Moon’s rate of motion and average it out. The resulting position is the Mean Node. The Mean Node is always retrograde.

True node: In theory, the position of the Nodes “wobbles” a bit. Astronomers began to factor this wobble in and called this position the True Node. Although the Nodes proceed through the Zodiac signs in a retrograde direction, the True Node moves in the opposite direction for a few days a month. (The opposite of retrograde is “direct.”) This is very different from the mechanism by which the planets go retrograde.

Which one's better? There's data to support either choice. They're only ever 2.5° apart so it doesn't matter much. If they fall in different signs for you, consider that both signs are valid.

Next: asteroids don't count in stelliums. The only moment you may consider an asteroid in a stellium is if there's already a planetary stellium (3 planets) there.

So as for your question. North node & true node is the same thing (North node is both true & mean, it just refers to the node itself no matter the calculation). So I assume you mean mean & true node in Aries. It's not weird to have both in the same sign, because they'll only ever be 2.5° apart.

North node in Aries, south node in Libra: This life's karma is about oneself. In your past life you've understood others, and understood much more than you've been understood. You were likely a caretaker and natural nurturer. In this life your karma is to take care of yourself and work on your own authenticity within, it's not about others anymore—it's about you. It's about your body, your mind, your appearance. It's about the core of who you are and how you actively present that to the world. It's about learning to stand up for yourself, take care of your body and be assertive about the things you want. It's about desire, about wants, about action. It's direct, rather than passive. It's bold.
