They must take on the mission of establishing a sense of self but do so “without shutting shutting off completely the benefits of marriage and partnerships.“ In the process of striking this balance, there may come a time when you overcompensate, being too aggressive or even obnoxious. obnoxious.

North Node in 2nd House Traditionally, the north node in 2nd house, also known as the Dragon’s Head in the Second House, brings personal fortune, luck in business, and an accumulation of wealth. It might also portend a strong marriage, rich in love and intellectually stimulating. Dragon’s Tail in the Eight House is associated with abuse of the lower passions and perhaps the strange death of a partner or relative. For those with North Node in 2nd House,
this is a lifetime about personal possessions and resources. The universe will no longer support you in
relying on other people’s money. Your destiny is to become self-sufficient with all that this entails: living within your means, taking care of your body, and developing endurance. As a general rule, shy away from credit and offers to use a partner’s resources. The finances of others may prove troublesome for you in this lifetime. As you learn to live within your means, you may swing to extremes, alternating between frugality and extravagance. Perhaps you work hard to obtain a possession that is meaningful to you, but then give or gamble it away. You may resort to a sort of laziness, relying on luck to provide for you. Interestingly, the great communist theorist, Karl Marx, who proposed that all citizens of the nation should share equally in its wealth, had the north node in 2nd house node placement. As did Ho Chi Minh.[1] Without commenting on the validity of communism as a legitimate econo mic model, suffice it to say that such thinking is not for you. Take your inspiration from Helen Keller , Benjamin Franklin, and Mohammed Ali, who all share the north node in 2nd house nodal placement and strove diligently to become self-sufficient. Past life experience has given you knowledge of the occult, for which you have a natural talent. You also have a sort of hangover preoccupation with sex. Be vigilant of your motivations, as well, for you are prone to acting on base motives which you may hide from even yourself. In fact, says astrologer Martin Schulman of someone with this placement, “while many may know him closely, none will know him well,” such is the depth of secrecy associated with the Eighth House, home to your South Node. You come into this life with a strong connection to the dark side. Perhaps you feel you lived on the outskirts of society as a child. Maybe there were past lives of criminal behavior or misuse of occult knowledge. In this lifetime, your soul’s desire is to live a respectable life. You are here to develop a sense of those things that are truly important to you and to obtain them honorably. Death is an important part of life for you, much more so than for most people. You may find in it, as you do in sex, a rejuvenating energy. In fact, this placement can bring posthumous fame. However, it is difficult for you to be completely conscious of your connection to this energy. In probing the values of others (which you do with an eye on establishing your own value system), you unconsciously lead them astray. You do not know it, but you undermine almost everything you touch. At your worst, you are a claim jumper, with so little invested in yourself and with so little respect for others, that you claim what is theirs as your own without even realizing it. You may also be subject to extreme moodiness, which is a way of undermining yourself. Develop self-respect and you will simultaneously learn to respect others. This will bring you emotional stability. People with this placement may not have experienced privacy in their childhood. Circumstances in their early life left them feeling that they had nothing to call their own. The adult is preoccupied with financial security which s/he associates with harmony and peace.
It is appropriate for you
to be focused on material comforts in this lifetime, and you will find yourself fully engaged and passionate about life when you acknowledge your personal needs and go about meeting them with a patient, consistent, determination. Build a beautiful physical environment for yourself first, then share your security according to
your values. The bottom line is that, with the north node in 2nd house placement, you must learn to manage your personal resources. Do not use all your energy on others. Earn what you need and spend less than you make. Build your physical strength. Eventually you will build the stability and security you do desperately desire.
North Node in 3rd House The North Node in 3rd House, also known as the Dragon’s Head in the Third House, brings good fortune in many areas: siblings, neighbors, co-workers, an intellectual career, mental capacity, education, and travel for the specific purpose of education. The corresponding Dragon’s Tail in the Ninth House shows a disdain for organized religion or perhaps extreme superstition. There may also be some danger in travel or a troubled journey for a mysterious or secretive reason. It also indicates a person who should also avoid gambling. Many astrologers consider North Node in the third house to be exalted, meaning it is in its best placement. Perhaps it’s because the person’s spiritual journey is completely aligned with daily life. In past lives, you spent countless hours developing your intuition, philosophizing, and becoming wise. You have incarnated this time to be where you are, fit your life perfectly into the network of lives around you, and to use your mind to come to grips with the world as it is. Better than anyone else, you will come to understand how the world works, and the longer you live the less desire you will have to find some grand meaning in it all. The Third House represents our daily journey. There is good luck around you. Opportunities will come from your own neighborhood, so to speak. As you go about your daily routine, meet as many people as possible. Build a strong network of friends and acquaintances. Develop good relations with your siblings and other family members. To balance past experiences of long journeys and solitude, you must learn to communicate with those around you. You came into this life with a natural ability to intuit information and use the higher mind. Your task is to channel what messages you get to the right people. This means delivering the information in the right words at the right place and the right time. Your nervous energy is an impetus to do this. At your worst, you are just a gossip, but at your best, all your e-mailing, texting, calling a nd running around the city amounts to a job as modern day divine messenger. Think of Chris Rock and Bill Maher, both popular and controversial comedians with their North Nodes in 3rd House. What do they do but travel around the country delivering “the truth” to anyone who will pay to hear it? Your challenge in this lifetime will be to tame your restlessness. From past incarnations you have a soul memory of long journeys and travel to faraway places. From time to time this wanderlust may overtake you again. You are scared to lose this sense of freedom, yet you must in order to grow. Stay put and you will reap the generous rewards of North Node in 3rd House. Forgo the travel and gain self-understanding. For all your communicating, you may have trouble expressing your deepest feelings. As you make your daily rounds, chatting up friends, neighbors, and coworkers, remember to exchange not just ideas but feelings, as well. You may feel boxed in by your relationships, but your web of friendships, family ties, and business contacts has a purpose. This was created by you to fulfill your soul’s desire to learn precision. This network forces you to be accurate, focused, and direct in your communication. Avoid exaggeration and phrase things in ways that those around you will understand. John F. Kennedy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, James Earl Jones, and Rod Serling, all known for their ability to deliver perfectly crafted messages, share this north node in 3rd house placement with you. You have a genius
for facts and details. You were born with a natural creative intelligence which you should develop through formal education. Avoid unorthodox schools or metaphysical or occult learning. You will also find bad luck in careers or situations which require you to make decisions. Because are always channeling higher information, you are never prepared to make a judgment, for you have that intuitive sense that more facts are on the way. Possessing the north node in 3rd house placement means you will find happiness in careers which require a great deal of creative mental energy, such as teaching, writing, history, or any other pursuit that demands mastery of a wide scope of details. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAUJY6WIuss
North Node in 4th House Having the node placement of north node in 4th house, youcame into this lifetime with an assumption that you would always be in a position of authority and that naturally you should be in control. While you have this memory from past lifetimes, in fact you are here now to focus not on others, but on putting your own house in order. Attempts to manage or direct people will lead you feeling empty and frustrated in this lifetime. When you organize your affairs and address your own emotional problems, the universe will support you. In your childhood, one or perhaps both parents may have been exceptionally demanding, instilling in you a belief that you were destined for some great achievement. Astrologer Martin Schulman cautions that this conviction may be afflicted to the point that the person with North Node in 4th House “firmly believes that without his achieving some great destiny, life is utterly worthless.” Schulman suggests you learn the value of the old adage “A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.” Do not forsake what you have for the possibility of what you might achieve, he warns. Your relationship with each of your parents is more important for you than for others. People with these nodes are known especially for a deep connection with their mother. You are keenly aware of your dependence on your parents, now and in the past, but also struggle for independence. Coming to terms with your roots is part of your lifetime task of subordinating career to personal life. This does not mean that you cannot have a career, however. Consider Anton Chekov, Alex Haley, and Tennessee Williams, who all share this placement of north node in 4th house and found great acclaim through their writing about families. Be aware of your motives for any goal. If you are pursuing something for the sake of recognition, to make yourself valuable in the eyes of a third party, or to give yourself legitimacy, then you will surely be unlucky. When you act for the sake of your own happiness, to further a healthy home life or to nourish your own emotional growth, good luck will follow, for this is your karmic path. As the emphasis in this lifetime is on home and family, you will most likely be blessed in this area. Serene domestic surroundings, solitude, and privacy are good for your soul. Balance lifetimes of public acclaim and responsibility with long periods of soul development. Above all, attempt to develop emotional maturity. You are not the center of every situation. You are here to learn to nurture others. Do not indulge your desire for power or recognition. Surely you will only exacerbate your feelings of inadequacy and provide evidence for your conviction that you are underappreciated. Also beware a tendency to climb the social ladder or indulge feelings you will someday take your rightful place in society. Such thoughts will lead you from your spiritual path. While you find it easy to organize for others at the office, this is just a distraction.
You must turn and face your emotions at home. Learn to express and honor them. You will find the love and appreciation you long for only by opening up the emotional faucet. Resist the temptation to bury yourself in work. Rather, plunge into the dark night of the soul: devote your time to loved ones, garden, cook, heal, tend to your home and spiritual matters. Look within and you will find a brave new world even more exciting than the one outside you. What’s more, you are bound to discover at the end of the long journey that everything you are you owe to your parents. T.S. Elliot wrote, “We shall not cease from exploration/ And the end of all our exploring/ Will be to arrive where we started /And know the place for the first time.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgv0QcX1A_c
North Node in 5th House 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 supp ort 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xgI8rqa6V0
North Node in 6th House You, a carrier of the north node in 6th house, are full of spiritual knowledge, having passed many lifetimes — or perhaps your childhood — in contemplation and meditation. You find it natural to spend time in deep thought, alone and lost in yourself. The more you do this, however, the more paranoid and unstable you become. The universe will no longer support you in escaping reality or losing yourself in imaginary worlds, both of which undermine your self-confidence and acerbate your nervousness. Because of past experiences you, having the north node in 6th house placement, find organization challenging and have trouble budgeting your time. This makes work difficult. You must steer away from self-pity to a path of responsibility and discipline. Scary though it may seem, the discipline will build your confidence and soothe your soul. Apply restrictions to your thoughts and diet, as well, to keep grounded. Traditionally this placement indicates good physical health, as the universe will support your efforts to take care of your body. You may have a secret desire to become a medical doctor, natural healer, nutritionist, or nurse, for your know there is healing power within you. Good luck with small animals is also indicated in the north node in 6th house nodal placement. The emphasis this lifetime is on addressing mental and physical health issues. You may spend some significant portion of your life in a hospital, prison, monastery, or otherwise “institutionalized.” The routine and order of such a place can help you build faith and heal. However you choose to ground yourself, it’s important that you do so. Anne Heche, Sunny von Bulow, Health Ledger , and Phil Spector, all described at one time or another as “imbalanced,” share this north node in 6th house node placement with you. You have chosen a lifetime of service to others. This requires developing any talents you have and paying attention to detail. You will find it fulfilling to become an expert in some area. Though focusing is not natural to you, the more you do it, the more you will like it. You would make a fine accountant, editor, analyst, or hairdresser. It does not matter what you choose as a career, however. The spiritual task of the north node in 6th house is to learn about the world around you, figure out how you can contribute to it, and work, work, work. Because of your sensitive nature, you will find many of the things you are asked to do in life unpleasant. Resist the tendency to feel sorry for yourself. It’s important the carrier of the north node in 6th house go about your daily routine with a smile. Complete the tasks at hand, though they tax your abilities or seem unfairly distributed to you. At your worst, you hide behind paranoid fantasies, letting others work while you wallow in self-pity. In this lifetime, completing even the most unpleasant tasks brings a sense of accomplishment and great self-confidence. Do not despair that your work is not good enough, that the outcome of your endeavors is not ideal, that you are unloved, or that people let you down. You are here to
experience “real life” which is messy, imperfect, and sometimes disappointing. It is nevertheless wonderful and certainly can’t be improved by your worrying. Build your mental and physical strength, maintain a positive attitude, and contribute where you can. How surprised you will be to find a deep well of faith growing inside you. You may have success at fields which allow you to combine your natural insight about people with learning some sort of craft. More than a few accomplished astrologers have this node placement of the north node in 6th house, including J. Lee Lehman, Louise Huber, Alan Leo, and Noel Tyl. Sigmund Freud, Albert Camus, Jane Addams, and Noam Chomsky are good examples of insight applied to improving the human condition in other fields. Routine, boundaries, details, necessities, physical and mental health, these are your allies in service. Your lifetimes of torment are over. The sooner you bury the past and start participating in the present, the sooner you will become all of which you are capable: a powerful and confident person, the north node in 6th house is described by astrologer Martin Schulman as “one of the most compassionate, beautiful and useful people in the zodiac.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUb1_md7lyg
North Node in 7th House The traditional interpretation of north node in 7th house is good luck in marriage and partnership. It also means an important role for nieces, nephews, and children (especially the second child). Conversely, it can also signify a troubled early life. Marriage and partnership may not have been comfortable for you at first. Lifetimes of individual achievement and independence make it more natural for you to go it alone and value your unique identity. You may be divorced or separated. Perhaps you have never married, because of your tendency to remain apart.[1] However, as reluctant as you may be or have been to commit to another, marriage and partnership are part of your spiritual journey. You are here in this lifetime to learn to give with the whole heart, asking nothing of others in return. If you have not been successful in your relationships, most likely you were falling back on the old habit of trying to just get by. You may have most likely not been doing the minimum to keep a partner around. Put the needs of others first and you will be amazed at how the universe supports you. You had many incarnations as a loner. You came into this world with a pioneer spirit. This may be seen by others as a sense of embattlement. Some will perceive you as disloyal, since you are so reluctant to invest in your relationships. However, as you grow in your spiritual development, you will find within yourself an amazing ability to give self-confidence to others. Martin Schulman attributes to native with this north node in 7th house nodal placement an ability to “give others the will where there was none” and to make them aware of their own self-worth. You may wonder how to begin your journey of putting others first. It starts with developing the habit of detaching from yourself and recognizing the egoistic ways of your past (either previous lifetimes or childhood). You will soon learn the rewards of focusing your energy on someone other than yourself. As you take the emphasis off you and put it on the other, the habits of kindness and understanding will develop naturally. These behaviors will help you formulate appropriate goals for your relationships. Donna van Toen sees as the major issue for natives with the North Node in 7th House: “This person is torn between involvement at any cost and preservation of his or her highly comfortable image of self as a good or beautiful person.” The core issue for you is the right balance between self and others. As you
reach for your North Node, strive to be sure that every arrangement is a win-win. Both sides should benefit from any bargain. Check your tendency to assert yourself at all times. Seek the balance proclaimed by your nodal brother Norman Vincent Peal: win friends and influence people. Other famous people who share the north node in 7th house placement are Malcolm X,Barack Obama, the current Dalai Lama, Jackie Kennedy, Elizabeth II, and Woodrow Wilson. All of these luminaries are known for their autonomy, but also a great deal of charm. Permanent relationships require tact, diplomacy, strategy, and above all fair dealing. Obligations, limitations, and even boredom are part and parcel of long-term commitments to others. However, as you compromise and cooperate with partners you will find that your investment is more than returned. Most partners look for reciprocity. You will find much more than that with your north node in 7th house. The north node in 7th house is also known as Dragon’s Head in the Seventh House and Dragon’s Tail in the First House. [1] Martin Schulman even suggests that individuals with the north node in 7th house placement are so out of harmony with the universe that they may develop some sort of chronic ailment that allows them to take sympathy from others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm_NWwCJQFU
North Node in 8th House Traditionally, North Node in 8th House portends a long life, perhaps of 100 years or more, with a happy and natural ending. It may also bring good luck in inheritances. The Dragon’s Tail in the Second House signifies bad luck in money matters, even bankruptcy. Ventures will be undermined by circumstances beyond the native’s control. Beware a loss brought on by “a woman of loose morals.” In the past, you were in the habit of getting rather than giving. Possessiveness and a strong desire to own anything you see, coupled with a determination to satiate all your desires, are soul memories from former lifetimes or perhaps childhood. You may be slow to respond to anything that restricts your sexual and animal force and often feel as though the things you really need are always just beyond reach. Resist the temptation to indulge in such thinking, for you are here to learn self-control and discipline. You must somehow deal with the polar opposites within you – stubborn determination and an emotional tendency to go to extremes. Learn to tame yourself. Resolve to acquire only useful possessions and do not lust after anything more than what you need. Let go of old beliefs about social castes. Bond with those closest to you and take on new value systems informed by what you learn from them. Curb your sexual desires, though they are strong. Reserve some energy for the future and for your own regeneration. For the north node in 8th house, it’s important to not exhaust yourself in the exercise of physical union. The pattern you must watch out for is a soaring flight followed by a crash and burn. Some famous people with topsy-turvy lives share this north node in 8th house placement with you: Claus von Bulow, George Foreman, Winston Churchill, Lenny Bruce, and Vladimir Lenin. All these man had success, lost it, and then found it again. You can become so consumed with greed, lust, or possessiveness that you come to hate yourself and in a fit of anger and spite, destroy all that is around you, only to gather an incredible amount of energy to start again. Yet the momentum you gather takes you once more to dark places, setting in
motion the destructive cycle. To prevent this negative circle of behavior to which you can be prone, it is important that you burn your bridges. You have struggled through so much, come so far. You can only continue to move forward by blocking the exits. Martin Schulman says of a native with thenorth node in 8th house placement, “God will hear his faintest cry for help as soon as he sincerely promises ‘not to look back.’” Psychological transformation is an important theme in your life; own the process consciously. The famous singer Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf Islam, is a good example of a positive use of this energy. Because of your difficult past, you may have a hang up about power and even do foolish things with money to try to get power, such as gamble or spend lavishly. If you do not build a good character, you may dream of marrying into money, solving your problems through an inheritance or lottery win, or even find yourself in trouble with the law. Other weaknesses of the north node in 8th house placement can include throwing money and energy away on undeserving people or causes and counting on others to do the work that is yours. What you have that others do not is great determination. While this can be detrimental to your growth, it may also help you in times of great adversity if you use it wisely. George Washington, who outlasted the British army, was born with his North Node in 8th House. So was Eva Peron, who overcame so much to attain her position, and J.K. Rowlings who wrote the first Harry Potter books while a single mother on welfare. Isabel Hickey suggests that “Helping others to find their resources and values is the clue to the right use of the North Node in 8th house.” You will experience your greatest happiness in life when you strike the proper balance between your needs and the demands of society. You may find the universe supports you in seeking status, as this will allow you to be an individual who contributes to those around him and is respected. You may become a business tycoon or otherwise influential. You will also be lucky in metaphysical, occult, and spiritual pursuits because of your north node in 8th house placement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E75BIY2VivM
North Node in 9th House Traditionally the North Node in 9th House brings great fortune. Possibilities are unlimited, and there is good luck in travel, publishing, and politics. The corresponding Dragon’s Tail in the Third House brings disagreement with those in close proximity, such as neighbors and siblings. It may mean a forced association with “low class” people, a poor education, and/or a bad reputation spread through gossip and slander. If you have an intuition to gamble, you will probably be lucky. Pay serious attention to recreational pursuits. Be generous and engage in charity. You will develop great wisdom in this lifetime, and may even achieve a position of power after your forty-first birthday. In this lifetime, relatives may be particularly difficult for you. You have a strong psychic connection to your siblings, but may lose one early in life. You feel deeply for your brothers and sisters and may end up caring for one or more of them. In Hindu astrology, this placement of the north node in 9th house signifies “a spiritual, introspective, or introverted younger sibling.” If your North Node is badly afflicted, you may disregard morality as codified in religion and the law. Adolf Hitler and Aleister Crowley, who were born with the north node in 9th house nodal placement, are two extreme examples. It will help to develop an interest in psychology, philosophy, and world religion. Examples of people who better used their North Node in 9th House this way include Billy Graham, William
Jennings Bryan, Michel Foucault, Jean Paul Sartre, and Werner Erhard. While you came into this life with a soul memory of a keenly developed mind, you are here to experience those things which are beyond mental reach. You prefer to study on your own, and may have trouble completing a formal education. You are always seeking more knowledge, for you find the world deeply fascinating and something you want to experience through the intellect. You are too often influenced by your environment, rather than vice versa, and your conflicts with those around you are the universe’s way of bringing this to your attention. Neighbors are an ongoing problem for the north node in 9th house placement. You may have to travel far from your birth place to find the peace you seek. You must detach from your environment enough to observe the world and derive an opinion about it. You need clear senses before you can make the sound judgments required of you in this lifetime. Continue to seek “the truth,” and you will find faith and courage along the way. Perhaps you find yourself perpetually involved in petty dramas. You do not hesitate to jump into relationships, which become complicated quickly, trapping you in a spider’s web of intrigue on an almost daily basis. Yet you continue to reach out to others, going where angels fear to tread, listening and offering up advice. You often lament your lack of education, which you secretly think would help you navigate thePeyton Placeyou live in. In fact, your mental capacity is not the problem. It’s the sheer number of relationships you create and maintain. No one could keep them all straight. Your life may be one of perpetual crisis, mostly due to your inability to decide. You can rely on your intuition to guide you, but memories of past life experiences trap you into gathering too much information before you make up your mind.[1] Resist the temptation to become lost in possibilities. It’s important for the carrier of the north node in 9th house to take charge of your life. Travel is important to the north node in 9th house. It provides an antidote to the social network that entangles you and the details that vex your attempts to reach higher consciousness. In short, it gives perspective. When you pull away from the facts, skepticism, and analysis that helped you understand the world in the past, and cut yourself loose from the intricate social fabric of neighbors, acquaintances, and colleagues that drain your energy, you will find a wonderful world of ideas, achieve higher consciousness, and make true friends.
