This article assumes basic knowledge of astrology. It is aimed at a reader who has information on dividing the map into houses. But for the general public, perhaps something will be interesting.

The lunar nodes are the intersection points of the solar and lunar orbits. When the Sun passes through them, eclipses occur. The nodes are responsible for the accumulated experience and have a strictly polar purpose. The North Node places us in a new environment, requires specific experience. Therefore, it acts in two directions: it creates new conditions and attracts everyone's attention to us, it turns on the spotlight.

The South Node completes the learning process and takes the exam. Coming to the point, it closes our right to use this potential for a long 9 years. But before that, he tests us in these matters at the level of wisdom, maturity, and awareness.

Another important feature. The nodes are the only ones moving in the zodiac retrograde only occasionally and for a short time I change the direction to the direct one.

So, any fictitious point (in the absence of a physical body) can only do 2 things in the transit movement. Enter the natal house and pass through it. And go through the conjunction with the natal planet.

The nodes pass through the zodiac in 18 years, that is, they are approximately 1.5 years in each sign. Entering a certain pair of houses, they inevitably create the activity of this axis. A person will definitely be involved in the theme of houses. At the same time, only the Nodes enter the house from the end of the house, gradually moving towards the cusp. In accordance with this, it is experienced. At first, it seems not obvious, soft involvement in the sphere of the house. Further growth of interest and complexity. Climax. And stress relief. But in fact, it’s just the transition of the Node to the next house with the introduction of an unobtrusive new hobby.

The house visited by the North Node will be permanently active. A person will be created situations to gain new experience in this area. A characteristic feature is the fundamental novelty of situations. They will be the ones he has never been to before. He will have to react as the play progresses. After passing through the house, a person is enriched with knowledge and experience in this area, and then for about 7-8 years he lives with the level of developments that he himself was able to achieve during the transit period.

And then His Majesty - the South Node - will come to this house. Here it is interesting. What will happen when the South Node leaves the house is clear - the activity of the house will be "frozen" for a long 7-8 years. You simply will not have new opportunities to learn or comprehend something. Of course, something will happen. But there will be no serious changes in your level of influence on the World. I'll try with an example.

Well, the closure of the 9th house by the South Node probably will not scare anyone. The fact that in the next 8 years you will not emigrate, do not rush to get a second higher education and do not change your global religious outlook - somehow does not sound like a sentence.

And let's wait and the South Node will close the 7th house. And what, personal life in general now 8 years can not be seen? Will he get to the 2nd and kapets income? And after leaving the 10th, do not expect normal career advancement at all?

No, of course, events will occur. Training is not. That is, after leaving the 10th house, your career will be able to develop only on the basis of the level to which you came before entering your 10th house of the South Node. If you, at the time of the transit of the north node through the 10th natal house, boldly mastered the opened horizons and opportunities, took risks, fell, rose, gained a reputation and connections. By the time of the transit of the North Node along the MS, they started up with acceleration. Then they wisely used the experience, comprehended and systematized it for themselves. Then they passed the exam to the World and received a “certificate of maturity” or a “diploma” (who passed what) during the transit of the South Node through the same 10th house. Then your career will go ON the knurled. Here is the defining one. What you dashed off - on that you will go. All your further appointments will be determined by this level of yours.

And it's the same with money. Personal life and everything else. You just won't get a chance to change anything. You can continue to go over partners (with the 7th house) and even get married and divorced. But for 8 years you will be trapped in your knowledge. It's like Groundhog Day. Every new one is the same.

It must be clearly understood that the Nodes do not change life, they do not have a physical body for this. The key word that reveals their essence is TRAINING. They change the level of knowledge, the level of human wisdom in those areas and houses that affect their inclusion. And then a lot depends on the level of knowledge, you see.

Let's get back to the complex and subtle transit of the South Node. How to describe the closing process? How to feel it and live it right? There is a direct dialectical contradiction here. Since the South Node has entered the house, it means that there must be activity of the spheres of this house. But it freezes, which means complete unusual silence and isolation. What happens in transit itself?

The passage of the South Node through the house will create situations in which a person is forced to somehow show himself, showing everyone and everyone what he stands and shows. At the same time, pairs of opposition houses are interconnected. To gain experience in the Sulfur Node, it is necessary to rely on knowledge of the South and vice versa.

Let's look at examples:

North node in the 1st house, South node in the 7th. Individuals have to declare themselves, defend their personal interests and desires. A lot of leading and speaking in the first person, showing yourself to the World. In some way, inevitably taking away energy from the family and home, giving the spouse less time and attention. At the same time, it is important to build on the already achieved capacity for partnership. Your marital relationship (7th house) will become a support or a hindrance to your personal advancement. You will be exposed to them all the time. This will be the activity of the South Node. Well, for example, with a political company, the candidate promotes himself. But the facts of his family biography and the insidious questions of journalists constantly pop up. He can no longer change anything there (the South Node has fixed the situation), but he constantly holds the answer for this. In addition, the experience and wisdom of partnerships (the 7th house worked out by past transits) will become the basis for public ethics now. This is the basis on which you form your personal image.

Reverse. North node in 7th house, South node in 1st. A person perfectly knows how to stay in public and lead. But now such conditions have been created that something can be achieved only through built joint relations. Not necessarily family. And you need to somewhat dampen your own charisma (South Node) for the sake of partnership. On the other hand, the South Node will constantly remind of itself. You can build relationships only on the basis of what you are as a person. This is an exam for level 1 at home. It's already too late to change anything. But you have to show up all the time.

North node in the 2nd house, South node in the 8th. Opportunities for the accumulation of personal finances have opened up. This is inevitably accompanied by the development of a new material ethic, the attitude towards money and other goods changes. In any direction, not the fact that in the direction of gain. The 2nd House is about personal ethics and resources, and the 8th house is about ethics and community or partner resources. That is, your new opportunities to redistribute something in your favor will constantly run into your past attitude towards other people's goods. Your spouse (wife) will constantly put you on the look. Like, before you didn’t disdain to take something mine, come on now, don’t forget about me, if you got something. Also at work. You will remember how you treated the income of others and how harmoniously you fit into the team. And based on this, others will approve or accept an increase in your salary with hostility. Or vice versa, its cutback will be condemned and somewhat restrained by the team, for your past merits in supporting the team (your 8th house). The authorities may simply be afraid to cut you, knowing your authority (and this is an exam in the 8th house) in the company. Or the spouse will be ashamed to refuse you something, remembering how you supported him in difficult times.

North node in the 8th house, South node in the 2nd. You are in a situation where it is not the time to pull the blanket over yourself. Now your future depends on how you can fit into the team and enlist its support. Or from what your spouse can get. And it is necessary to sacrifice something personal (material, maybe time and effort) for the sake of the achievements of another. But you can only donate what you have. Here is the exam for the 2nd house. How much could you put into your asset while the North Node ruled there? Based on this, you can now make your contribution to the common cauldron.

North node in the 3rd house, South node in the 9th. Time to change your social image. Based on what moral and religious views you adhere to (9th house), how educated you are and how wise you are, you will now rebuild your relationship with the environment. There was a need and opportunity to change the style of communication. You may have moved or changed marital status. But the goose is no friend to the pig. A respectable Christian will not hang out with a Satanist or a Goth, but a decent girl with hooligans. The views you hold (9th house) will completely determine your lifestyle (3rd house).

North node in the 9th house, South node in the 3rd. It's time to think about eternity. Well, this is a joke. But seriously, now circumstances are pushing to fully work out ethics, rethink religious views, perhaps re-fit into a new environment (emigration). Define your ideals and goals. State them. Immerse yourself in serious learning, one that changes the worldview and life. By the way, higher education goes under the 9th house. And learning at school, as simply the accumulation of general knowledge, is under the 3rd. And the natural basis for all this will be the already accumulated knowledge, established contacts and acquaintances. Earned reputation in their familiar environment. The realization of your ideas will depend on your communication skills. Your ability to collect information will be the starting point for its systematization and for further conclusions. Who you hang out with will determine where you can go.

North node in the 4th house, South node in the 10th. This is a situation of activity in your family nest. There may be many options. Change of residence, change in family composition (directly in the house where you live), restructuring of relations with parents. The 4th house is also the house of your deep ethics and religiosity. Do not confuse it with the 9th house here. At the activity level of the 4th house, we ourselves decide what we believe. And only after that the control passes to the 9th house. And from it our faith already determines what we can and cannot do. You can change something at home only within the framework of your current achievements (10th house). The level of your career will allow or not to buy an apartment. Your reputation will determine your relationships in the family. Respect or condemnation of parents. Your external results will become the basis for transforming the conditions inside the house.

North node in the 10th house, South node in the 4th. You have opportunities for a career and a statement about yourself. But your external achievements directly depend on your internal ones. And your career - from your rear. Without a solid base and foundation, there is no question of real progress. Your family will either support you or put real spokes in the wheel. You will be able to realize yourself only on the condition that personal problems have long been resolved. A simple practical example. If you have a place to live and no dogs, you can afford any turn in your career. Change of profession, a bold attempt to change something. If you have to pay for a rented apartment, the parents will not sit with the child, and even press the term on the loan - all that remains is to sit still and work for wear, where it is still working. You don't even dare to think about any risky projects. So, others are only allowed to envy and dream ...

North node in the 5th house, South node in the 11th. You are drawn to the stage. There was an opportunity to flirt, flirt, keep attention on your person, charm and charm. This is also a period of realization through creativity and through the upbringing of children. Both are driven by the need to leave something behind. The success of your child or your project builds your reputation. The level of all this will be determined by how faithful you were to your dreams (11th house). How much you have learned to be free. Can you make friends? Be interesting? How are you able to express yourself in companies. What your free time was directed to and how your leisure time was spent now will dominate how bright and interesting you present yourself. What will be your creative and parental reputation. Agree that dry and boring parents do not have talented and creative children.

North node in the 11th house, South node in the 5th. A wonderful period. There is an opportunity to relax, there is a lot of free time and resources for entertainment and leisure. Moreover, such manifestations are expected from you. Maybe it will be long visits of relatives from other cities, receiving delegations at work, organizing corporate parties and celebrations. You will definitely have to communicate a lot in an informal setting. Well, of course, your personal ability to present yourself and play will depend on how this period will turn out for you. Will it be a painful time of increased attention, or, on the contrary, a long-awaited finest hour. Naturally, someone who is endowed with a mass of talents (5th house), sings with a guitar, dances, easily rhymes epigrams, knows a lot of entertaining stories and anecdotes - it is a pleasure for him to position himself at parties, corporate parties, and other informal events.

North node in the 6th house, South node in the 12th. The time has come for author's works and personal research. The 6th house is the house of labor and achievement, under which you sign your name and business reputation. This is an original work. The 12th, on the contrary, is the house of impersonal labor. When, having passed the whole circle of the horoscope, you reach the level that you give something to the World from yourself, free of charge and secretly, impersonally. Just to decorate this World and to thank for everything. We derive the formula accordingly. From how much you were able at one time to simply search, work, create and develop something in silence and for your own interest, today it will depend on what you can do under your own name. Passing the 12th house, you learned to live without the public and external stimulus. Just do what is close to you without the hope of external interest and gratitude. Immerse yourself in yourself and come to an understanding of what you really want. From how well this stage was passed, it will now be decided what you are able to produce. When all the world's attention is focused on your skills and abilities.

North node in the 12th house, South node in the 6th. The circle is closed. Everything passed and mastered, the last house remained. Are you able to be alone with yourself? Work only on self-motivation? To give without asking and without expecting gratitude? What are you even worth? The 12th house puts up an invisible wall between a person and the World. You see everything and even unusually clearly, but the World, on the contrary, does not notice you. At the same time, one must somehow continue to live, do something, move somewhere. And only the realization that you are a professional, what you have learned (6th house) will become a support during this period. In cases where a person is not ready to go into the shadows himself, the 12th house is able to neutralize the activity forcibly. It can be hospitalization, prison, work at a closed facility, a long illness. And the 6th house, among other things, is also the ability to take care of your body and health. It is in such situations, oh, as needed.

In general, any configuration when the North node falls into the day house, and the South into the night house is natural. Our personal is always the basis on the basis of which we can do something in the external World. The reverse also works. When the outside world determines our being. It remains only to impose the principle of houses on this formula.

I want to immediately touch on another basic principle, which is clearly visible through the development of nodes. All opposition houses and signs are clearly interconnected. Night give our personal. When the World acts as a donor, and the individual consumes. And vice versa. Daytime - the personality acts as a donor in relation to the World, in them the World is stronger. And the relationship between the houses leads to an understanding of the eternal law - what can be achieved and on the basis of what. Day houses are what we will get in the outer life (if the North Node is there) or what we must do in the outside world (if the South Node is there) in order to get something for ourselves.

We ran in order, or a cheat sheet for any occasion:

If we want to get partnerships, get married (7th house) - we ourselves must be bright, interesting, attractive, charismatic (read - develop your 1st house). If we want to freely change living conditions, move from work to work at will, move to new places (8th house), we need to develop a strong material base (2nd house). Without deferred funds, few people will allow themselves the luxury of writing a letter of resignation, will endure everything, but continue to work. If we want to develop personally, to comprehend the philosophical foundations of the World, to perceive a foreign culture (9th house), we need to communicate a lot with people and study (3rd house). If we strive for a career and external achievements (10th house) - this requires a strong personal ethics and rear (4th house). To fulfill a dream and an interesting life (11th house), you must definitely be a creative, courageous and bright person yourself (5th house). Well, in order to change something in this World (12th house), one must be able to work and are not afraid of difficulties and stress (6th house).

And now for the day houses. When you build partnerships (7th house) - you personally grow and develop (1st house). If you justify the expectations of other people, the team, the market (8th house) - you will make good money on this (2nd house). If you are a Philosopher and Teacher (9th house) with a capital letter, students themselves will come to you and people will be drawn to you (3rd house). If you have made a career and saved a lot (10th house) - you will be loved and surrounded by households (4th house). Staying true to your dream, being free (11th house) - you will develop creatively, live a bright life, leave a mark and your creations (5th house). By selflessly serving the World and loving it, you will receive the opportunity to do something in gratitude, even under your own name (6th house).

A simple law that clearly shows which key to which door.

Alla Kudlyuk, Voronezh, 2015

C. NODE IN X HOUSE. YUZEL IN IV HOUSE.

Karmic task: From the interests of the family, the karma of the clan, land issues - to a career, independence, development of one's own interests

Here the individual discovers that most of the time must be devoted to the family. He constantly feels subjugated, as if he is prevented from realizing individuality. The fact is that he enters the current life with a lot of karma due to his family.

In past incarnations, he ignored the one who fed him. Now he has to feed himself from the hands. In his current life, he finds that his marriage partner and children do not appreciate what he is trying to do for them. However, he will do more if he is ever going to outgrow his karma. At times, the burden becomes so heavy that he must fight with himself to keep from feeling inner resentment and resentment.
A woman with this Nodal position will have problems with at least one child, which will require most of her time, effort, energy and care, as she must learn the deepest levels of responsibility of motherhood. To further enforce this karma, the spouse will either be absent or so lacking in character that she will eventually have to become mother and father at the same time.
Positive or negative emotions never leave the family. The individual constantly feels the need to escape and be free, but past life memories of self-imposed chains never fully allow him to do so.

Virtually all of an individual's energy is spent unraveling the relationships around him.
In some cases, there is a conflict in the family over real estate.

He must learn not to succumb to a sense of hopelessness under the pressure of circumstances, as the needs of his family are constantly growing to the point that at times they become much greater than he expected.
He is often taken by surprise by the actions of those closest to him, for although outwardly he may be experienced and sophisticated, he still remains almost childishly naive about his loved ones.
Some people with this position of the Nodes must go to work, becoming the only source of support for the family. Others have been placed in the position of family overseer.

There is always a conflict between what he would like to do for himself and what he knows he should do for the people he loves.

Constantly facing situations that tempt him to react in a childish way, he must learn how to grow up. He must rise above family disharmony and do everything he can to achieve his own dignity.

Only when the needs of loved ones are understood can he be freed for a career.
When he turns to the North Node in the tenth house, he eventually assumes an influential role. He should focus on the higher meaning of life, and not on the disparate needs of close family members.
Paradoxically, he eludes one family, creating a new one, until eventually every person he meets and loves becomes drawn closer to him in the pseudo-universal family model. As the years pass, life begins to resemble "the old woman who lived in a shoe."
His greatest happiness comes from being in a position where he is able to offer shelter to others.
In later life, he joyfully again invites others to lean on him. His mission to move away from emotional immaturity and towards responsibility tells him that each person he guides represents another installment for his own ticket to spiritual evolution.
The sign that the South Node contains indicates the ways in which it allows immaturity on the part of others as well as itself to block its potential for achievement. The sign that contains the North Node indicates the path of development of maturity in a meaningful direction.

Martin Shulman.

North Node in the Tenth House - South Node in the Fourth House
The North Node in the Tenth House indicates the ability to use current popular currents and hobbies for professional advancement. If this person is involved in politics, administration or business, he must play on the current mood of the public in order to advance his cause. These people are usually popular and loved in society. More cautious observers may view them as opportunists. In some cases, this position of the North Node indicates rise to fame and popularity at an early age and relative obscurity in later years.
The position of the South Node indicates adherence to traditional cultural and social values ​​and mores in family and home life. People may have a tendency to retreat into their home and use the home as a place of personal retreat from the world and solitude.

Francis Sakoyan.

North node in the X house - South node in the IV house

Knowing where you stand, it is good to understand where you are going.
This person is attached to traditional views on the role of family and homeland in a person's life, as well as to established methods of cultivating the land, which inspire deep trust in him. It is here, as well as in the established relationship to the father-breadwinner, that a person sees the moral foundations of society, which are the unshakable foundation of its development. On the contrary, he sees the political system of society, the bureaucratic and church hierarchies, through the eyes of the most fashionable and modern social trends, and here he is inclined to adjoin the "left". The sense of responsibility, especially in life choices, he tends to interpret quite arbitrarily, focusing on social fashion, and the idea of ​​free will is extremely dear to him, although he may not understand very well what it is. Ideas about the role of work and career in a person's life are also changing in accordance with social fashion and require a deeper analysis.
In the inner life, the subconscious programs responsible for deep religiosity and life positions will be the most stable and formalized, which at a low level gives extreme inertia and hardheadedness. Elaboration gives true and deep religiosity, as well as the wisdom of life positions that will serve as models for many future generations, but this is given only at a high level of philosophical and spiritual culture of a person, and subject to the development of new subconscious programs focused on the perception of external karma and practical spiritual authorities. In other words, a person must learn to see his practical spiritual teachers in a variety of circumstances and follow their instructions; and besides, to look for and develop new types of relationships with superiors and subordinates, to learn to internally treat the setting of practical goals and objectives and practical choices in a different way.

Absalom Underwater.

Ascending Node in the 10th house.
Here, the Lunar nodes play a prominent role in choosing a profession. Career and Family, where the balance point is located, will show the signs and aspects of each of the nodes. You need to find a middle ground between work and home.
Subconscious desire for a high position, fame, power. A person has to work hard for the sake of the family and children, not counting on gratitude, to sacrifice something in prosperity and career (according to the opposition of the north node with the IV house).
The north node is active, tending to novelty and having the character of Jupiter, especially emphasized in signs where Jupiter or Uranus is strong (Sagittarius, Pisces, Aquarius).
The coincidence of the direction of the line of nodes in the horoscopes of Kipling and England is characteristic. Kipling is a patriotic writer, an apologist for British imperialism, since his career is clarified precisely by the node of the fourth house (Motherland). With an underlined IV house, a person maintains and protects the social and cultural values ​​\u200b\u200bof his environment, especially in the sphere of home and family. This favors meetings of like-minded people, work at home, family happiness, indicates a prosperous old age and the end of life without worries and anxieties.
Often he is the only parent who bears the brunt of domestic chores (compare the relative strength in the horoscope of Jupiter and Saturn). The hearth is a prison for a person (strong Saturn in the horoscope!), Consciously or unconsciously, he is waiting for it to collapse. Optimism, a sense of responsibility, courage in making decisions are important factors for success in a career.
A successful career is possible only after the death of parents and the acquisition of independence by children. Despite the difficulties of childhood, the man was a leader among his peers and gradually gained authority in the society around him. The closer the north node is to the MC, the better.
With an underlined X house, a person is an active populist.
With an underlined IV, a person’s household chores fall apart and relations with their parents are complicated.

Descending Node in the 4th house.
It acquires special significance near the top of the house. Social and professional activities come first. The family and their home is seen as a sleeping place and a haven for relaxation. Due to the lack of attention, disorder at home occurs, which is compensated by the improvement of the workplace. A man at work occupies a high position, but his reputation is undermined by domestic squabbles.

Felix Velichko

RAHU IN 10TH HOUSE
This is a powerful position, indicating a person of high position, a deeply religious nature, great ability in his field of work and good earnings. Classical texts note that such people will visit holy places, carry out humanitarian activities, have the ability to art; they will have secret meetings.

KETU IN THE 4TH HOUSE
Early separation from mother and loss of ancestral property. There may be frequent travel away from home and the loss of the land for which this person has worked hard. We can assume the presence of a small number of close people and a tendency to heart disease. These people usually live far from where they were born, visiting unusual places. They are subject to a sudden change in their professional status and are interested in the study of spiritual matters.

Indubala.

Rahu in the X house - Ketu in the IV house (interpretation according to Indian tradition)
Very good position. The person will reach a high position. He will work for the benefit of society, and society will highly appreciate his merits. He will soon start earning money himself and help his parents. He himself will be engaged in his education, study science, art. Will love to meet dissidents more than like-minded people, i.e. learn new things. There will be one or two children; he will have a soft spot for women who are widowed or who are well below him in the social ladder.
If the X house is Gemini or Virgo, all of the above is enhanced. The person will become a "star" and will do a lot of good to people.
Ketu in IV house - Bad relationship with mother; the mother is usually sick, poor, or leads a strange life. The person himself wants to "get to the bottom of the essence" in everything, to find the meaning of life. He usually lives in a very old house, with cockroaches, crickets and a wood-boring beetle. And all his property is also some kind of old, either patched-patched, or second-hand. He will leave his parents early and leave home. Problems with getting an education.
If the IV house is Gemini or Virgo, then everything is in order with the mother; she is a creative person and helps her son. The property is also in order, the education will be received, the degree, probably, too; often such people are directors of charitable or educational institutions.

S. NODE in IV HOUSE. YUZEL in X HOUSE.

Power, independence, separation from traditions have been worked out. In the past, he held a big post, had a lot of power, was cut off from his ancestors, roots, and homeland. He must return to the origins, ancestors, build his home, improve ties with parents and loved ones, go deep into the roots, master the occult plan. Should not seek power. If it does not develop along the S. node, but stands out, suppresses others, then the critical mass of the Y. node creates insurmountable obstacles in achieving the goal, falling from a height, complete loneliness and non-recognition by other people.

A person must use past experience to build a house, for a strong connection with the people, traditions, land, ancestors, acquire occult knowledge, then a good position will come by itself without effort on his part. As soon as a person walks along the S. node, the affairs of the Y. node will form and receive their expression, i.e. a person will receive a solid secured place. If on the contrary, then conditions will be created for the fall, the lack of a strong position, oblivion in the homeland.

Marie Antoinette, Wagner, R. Kennedy (it was impossible to go to power).

Globa P.P.

This individual must learn to overcome the karmic feeling that he is the vital center of all situations around him. He enters today's life with subconscious memories of past self-esteem, which makes him feel that at least certain areas of life experience are below him.

His previous incarnations placed him in the position of captain of his own ship, and even commander of others. As a result, he is accustomed to adopting an authoritative position whenever the weakness of others arouses his powerful need to take responsibility. He enjoys the role of protector and protector and goes to extremes, filling his life with those whose weakness puts them under his dominion. By doing so, the individual is constantly testing his own strength to stand tall.

This is a lonely position, since the individual here is so preoccupied with a self-appointed mission that he never allows other people to see his real inner self. What he shows is a façade or uniform of a role he feels compelled to play.

In his current life, he is going through an experience that teaches him to descend from his skyscraper and secure the foundation below. It is in the realm of the most personal relationships within one's family that the scene is set for a lifelong struggle to gain control of one's own roots. Many people with this Nodal placement have one unusually demanding parent whose expectations encourage them to believe that they are truly destined to reach a stay in seventh heaven. As a result, they are dissatisfied with whatever situation they find themselves in, as it never lives up to what they feel they were meant to do.

The karmic lesson here is the following: "Better a titmouse in the hands than a crane in the sky." The individual must overcome his willingness to give up what he has in order to be able to achieve what he does not have.

The individual is so disinclined to see himself in a humble position in the background that, when circumstances force him to do so, he may even in extreme cases contemplate suicide, for he firmly believes that without attaining some great destiny, life is entirely worthless. This incarnation takes him through the experience of facing conflict between a career for himself and the demands of his family.

The individual must learn to mature because, for all his power, influence and dignity, he is practically a cripple when it comes to dealing with his own emotional problems. He must examine his roots and, pulling his head out of the veil of the past, build a practical basis for his future.
Eventually, he learns that his organizational activities are perceived by others as a way to divert attention from putting his own life in order.

Relationships established with parents in the early years of life are more important in this position of the Nodes than in any other position. Here the individual will spend much of his life energy trying to be completely free and independent of his parents, yet always aware of how much he needs them. However, the patterns of reactions to life continue to show a certain defiance and defiance of parents, masking a strong need for parental love. This soul is at a point of karma where it feels undervalued for all its efforts. The rest of the past incarnation is based on achievement for the sake of recognition and appreciation.

The achievement should now be its own reward. It is necessary to stop trying to win a public for your affairs, realizing that the public will always be there if the affairs are significant enough. It is in this process of seeking an audience that the individual tends to lose himself. He must literally transform his fourth house into a new birth of emotional positions, having learned the lesson that standing on tiptoe is unstable.

Its life is like that of a beautiful orchid: a superb sight when grown and nurtured under the most delicately controlled environmental conditions, but when the orchid is ready for display it is cut from its roots, guaranteed to wither and certain death in a short time. This individual will be faced with a choice: to be an inconspicuous orchid growing in the gardens of thousands, or to sacrifice their happiness to be a beautiful flower in someone's lapel. As he overcomes his past life's need for display, he may begin to approach the maturity he so desperately yearned for.

North Node in the Fourth House - South Node in the Tenth House
This position of the North Node indicates that a person adheres to modern accepted social and cultural values ​​in their family and home affairs. The house is often used as a meeting place for social and cultural activities. This position favors happiness and tranquility in the home environment.

The position of the South Node indicates a struggle to achieve a powerful position in the world. Professional interests and human activities are not always in harmony with the existing mood. These people are not inclined to compromise professional principles or long-term ambitions in order to adapt to modern trends. But in the end, they often achieve success and recognition.

This position of the South Node indicates power and prestige in a previous incarnation and, accordingly, no interest in position and prestige as an ultimate goal in this life. These people voluntarily seek quality and excellence in their work for its own sake. These people are internally aware of this danger and are usually conscientious in their professional conduct and very careful in accepting responsibility.

If you want to comprehend God in yourself, look into the course of external destiny. This person is attached to the traditionally accepted structures of power and spiritual hierarchy in his country, in particular, the state bureaucratic system and the church, as well as the established opinion about the role of a career in a person's life. If nodes are damaged, he will actively criticize them, but remaining on the "right" positions, that is, demanding not restructuring, but repair or restoration. They seem to him an unshakable foundation on which all the positive features of society rest, and this foundation should - in its best part - be studied and protected.

Your Karma is from the Mother. You have to take everything from her and get it. From the father - on the contrary. Most likely, that the parents will disperse (the knots are strong). Larisa Nazarova.

The North Node is in the 4th house, the South Node is in the 10th house
A person is attached to the traditionally accepted structures of power and spiritual hierarchy in his country, in particular, the state bureaucratic system and the church, as well as the established opinion about the role of a career in a person's life. If nodes are damaged, he will actively criticize them, but remaining on the "right" positions, that is, demanding not restructuring, but repair or restoration. They seem to him an unshakable foundation on which all the positive features of society rest, and this foundation should - in its best part - be studied and protected.

On the contrary, the instinctive feeling of the homeland (fourth house) does not fit into the established social framework, and he realizes his devotion and service to her with the help of new, newly emerging social movements, to which he willingly joins for this purpose. In a more prosaic interpretation of the fourth house, the North Node in it gives progressive forms of tillage, the most modern apartment arrangement or the structure of relationships in the family.

In the inner life, the basis of the psyche is the subconscious program that controls the perception of external karma and sets spiritual priorities; it must remain basically constant, changing only in particulars; however, with the emphasis of the South Node, there is a danger of completely stopping its development and becoming dogmatic in what you understand too well. On the contrary, new programs of the subconscious are developed in the field of life positions, absolute values ​​and deep religiosity, and here a person will have a constant search; you just have to be careful not to be too superficial.

RAHU IN 4TH HOUSE
This person has the power to influence his friends; such people can be influential in educational circles. They have too many materialistic connections and suffer attacks on their good name. If they are women, then they can be dissolved. Classical texts note that these people are easily misled, they suffer from stomach diseases, they find their place in life away from their parents and from their fatherland.

KETU IN 10TH HOUSE
This person will work hard for the benefit of other people or occupy a subordinate position. He will have the opportunity to meet extraordinary people and visit holy places. Such people have good learning abilities. There may be a dark stain on their good name, although they are popular people. It will take a long time for such a person to reap the fruits of his hard work.

Rahu in the 4th house - Ketu in the 10th house (interpretation according to Indian tradition)
Problems in the relationship with the mother, who has a difficult life herself. There may be difficulties in obtaining an education, a scientific degree. A person will long for more than he has all his life, and it will seem that he has "missed" something from life. Since IV is a corner house, a number of very large changes will occur in life.

If the IV house is Gemini or Virgo, the person will get what he wants (as a rule, such people want to have their own house, plot, etc.). He will also have some unusual property (for example, a yacht). His mother is a famous person, but with a tough character. She will help him in life.

Ketu in X house - Unfortunate situation. The person is narrow-minded, he is not interested in much, except for material wealth, but the opportunity to forget himself after work. Father problems. Difficulties in obtaining "education. Bad luck. There is no desire to do good deeds.

If the X house is Gemini or Virgo, good relations with the father, who will help. And the person himself will have more luck in life, and he will do good deeds with pleasure.

In the horoscope of each person there is an axis of fate that determines life lessons and fateful situations. It is determined by the position of the Lunar Nodes - from South to North from Descending to Ascending. You can read about what the Nodes of the Moon are and what their role in the horoscope is in my article "The Lunar Nodes of the Horoscope - the Vector of Our Destiny" at the link. And now a chapter from Martin Shulman's book "Moon Nodes and Reincarnation", which describes the meaning of the Lunar nodes in the houses of the horoscope.

North Node in 1st house - South Node in 7th house

This individual must experience an experience that challenges his personality. In previous incarnations, he fell into the trap of relying on untrustworthy people.
Spending too much time helping others to understand themselves, he never stopped thinking that the same situations and circumstances played an important role in his life. He did not focus on himself, so it is now difficult for him to see what he really is. This is especially pronounced when Neptune is near the Ascendant. This position of the Nodes indicates that in past incarnations the individual drowned his personality in the affairs of others. Marriage and partnership are so deeply ingrained in his way of doing things that he sees himself through the eyes of other people. So he allows their thoughts and opinions about him to influence his own sense of identity.

Ultimately, he must break free from the bondage of trying to be everything to all people and, in the light of his own peculiar vibration, establish what he really is. He must escape from living in the shadow of other people's lives. His soul memories of cooperation and interaction are so strong that every time he invokes them, he actually destroys himself in the affairs of other people.

The North Node (Rahu) of the individual in the first house now brings him the realization that he has lost his individuality. Immersed in the desire to please, he made himself a reflection of an ideal that was the opposite of his nature. This causes him a lot of pain in today's life, as he wants to manifest himself and at the same time not hurt people close to him. He must eventually learn to assume the role of leader. This is extremely difficult for the individual, as he has had so much experience of submission in previous lives. He sacrificed himself so that others could achieve their goals. All his important experience revolved around submissive compliance. Now his highest potential for growth is to establish a sense of self without completely shutting himself off from the benefits of marriage and partnership.

Rahu in 1st house - Ketu in 7th

Realizing all that he has sacrificed through his South Node (Ketu), a person becomes a supporter of extreme views, feeling that one state of existence restrains another. He begins to focus every part of his life energy on the desire to lead, not to be led. Knowing instinctively that his Achilles heel is to allow himself to be used in marriage, he becomes overly assertive in asserting his rights. He tries too hard to make up for what he has lost. In order to achieve happiness in the current life, the individual must learn how to balance his own needs and the needs of those around him equally. He must deliberately and prudently try not to hasten his growth and independence, realizing that the most beautiful flowers take time to bloom, while only weeds grow quickly!

, which contains , indicates the ways in which the individual in previous incarnations was dissolved in others. which contains indicates the ways in which he can now establish his sense of individuality.

North Node in 2nd house - South Node in 8th house

An individual with such a position of the Nodes uses a significant share of vital energy for the secret side of life. From past incarnations, he has secrets, on which he now spends most of his time carefully guarding. His greatest difficulty lies in trying to lead a perfect life, as his lower self is very strong. He desires the light, but with every step he takes towards it, the pain of his guilt-ridden subconscious blocks the way. He had a great experience of a previous life behind closed doors, where the eyes of a free society could not look. He even got used to creating deceptive conditions where there were none. In fact, he tests the boundaries of other people's values, and although many may know him intimately, no one will know him well.

He fears that others will unlock his secret doors, for he knows that he undermines almost everything he touches. However, he has the arrogance to believe that everything will go well, no matter where his sometimes immoral adventures continue to lead. Since this individual has not yet established his own sense of values, he is desperately trying to learn the values ​​of other people. By doing so, he inadvertently pushes them astray and therefore can be a threat to everything that others consider near and dear. In previous incarnations, he has destroyed many of his values, so that now it is difficult for him to understand why others cherish and keep certain things. He has no core in this life, and having nothing to lose, he feels entitled to seize what belongs to others. This is usually done in such a cunning way that it is extremely difficult to recognize. There is also a strong past remnant of sexual abuse. The individual has learned to think of sexuality as his strength, using it as a fulcrum to gain dominion over others.

For women, this is the story of Delilah or Mata Hari, whose extraordinary sexual power seduced and lured the strongest men away from their assigned mission. In men, a lot of vital energy is wasted on sexual thoughts. They don't use their sexuality for power in the same way that women do, but for them it is a reassurance that everything is in order with their ego. An interesting feature is that this sex is never an end, but always a means. In a give-and-take barter system, sexual charm or responsiveness becomes a price in exchange for the value of the other. Individuals with this position of Nodes are very jealous. They constantly want to trade places with whoever has a greener yard, and they too often assume that sex is a worthy price for whatever they may eventually get.

Houses of the horoscope

In past incarnations, society shunned him. Now, in the backyard of recognition, he is like a small child lost in the winter snow, looking into the brightly lit window of the house with the hope that someone will come out and let him inside. He is very promiscuous, as he wants to immediately be freed from his current pain, and it hardly matters to him whether he jumps from fire to fire. He turns to every available consolation, as his devotion cannot yet be considered entirely trustworthy. In childhood, he experiences a fear of death, as if death itself would be a logical punishment for all his mistakes and atrocities in past incarnations. The individual continues to feel that he must fight for all the things he needs because he does not have the feeling that he has already earned them.

When he fails to reach the bright side of life, he secretly blames others for his failures. On rare occasions, this individual must overcome past life criminal tendencies or a remnant of sorcery. Only through the correct assessment of the North Node in the second house can he establish the essence that will lead him to a new rebirth. Here past life memories must be brought to the surface and then completely destroyed in the eighth house of death before the soul can move forward into a new set of values. The individual must learn to develop and create what is truly meaningful to him, clearly understanding that what is acquired dishonestly is very difficult to maintain. He cannot count on growth through the efforts of other people, because if he wants to cross the bridge, he must pay the toll out of his own pocket. When he grows up to this awareness, the illuminated doors of the house will swing open before him; but not because of the kindness of other people, but because he deserved it!

Which contains indicates the ways in which previous incarnations have led the individual to become too preoccupied with other people's affairs. , which contains , shows the ways in which he can now build an essentially new and meaningful life for himself by establishing his own value system.

North Node in 3rd house - South Node in 9th house

This position of the Nodes represents karma in relationships. The individual here must learn how to fit the intertwining of people and ideas within the framework of his understanding. The South Node in the ninth house shows the emphasis of growth in previous lives. Literally millions of hours of thought have been spent developing a wealth of wisdom. Much has been sacrificed to do this, especially the enjoyment of meaningful relationships with other people. In order to achieve great growth of the soul, freedom of research was needed without restrictions and reservations. The individual is now habitually connected to his past incarnation sense of freedom, which he must retain but cannot consciously remember why.

From time to time, an individual feels a wanderlust to visit distant horizons, because somewhere far away there is a rainbow that he used to look for. It is a mental wanderer constantly traveling through the vast expanse of his consciousness, stopping only to rest at every oasis that offers temporary shelter from his restless urge. He is always looking, but it is difficult for him to determine exactly what he is looking for. He confuses others when he curiously tries to understand how they live. This is some of his main karmic lessons. He must learn to interact with people. Although he may be happily married or involved in a close relationship, he still retains the feelings of a bachelor in his mind. He must force his life to fit exactly into the puzzle nest, resolved by all the other lives around him.

The way he relates and communicates will be tested one by one. Eventually he will find himself connected with a vast number of people, and all the knowledge he has acquired in previous lives must be put into practice by him. In the relationships of today's life, he feels frustrated because there is not enough space to move. This "fencing" of people around him eventually destroys the evasiveness and elusiveness of his past life of being and teaches him the art of precise communication. The individual is very preoccupied with sexual values, feeling obligated to overcome the power this force has over him. Now he clearly sees the presence of the higher and lower "I", and it is with the pulling force of both that he must karmically struggle.

The individual cares less about gain than protection from loss. He is terribly afraid of losing the freedom to which he was accustomed in past incarnations; however, he must brave such a loss if he is going to interact with humans. Once he is willing to take that risk, he will be ready to receive his highest rewards. Ultimately he elevates himself through reading and determined study, and although he is more accustomed to non-formal teaching methods, it is formal education that holds everything together now for him. This position of the Nodes often causes friction in marriage, as the individual tends to seek out extramarital relationships in order to work out in them an understanding of the personal interaction that he must develop.

One of his most significant lessons is to learn how to consolidate his energy, for whenever he feels the urge to move on, he tends to leave scattered loose ends behind him. His life has a wide scope, not only in the realms of knowledge, but also in the countless people he meets and the many places he travels to. He will eventually be known as the Messenger bringing knowledge to all those in need. This knowledge, like manna from heaven, falls on their knees at the moment of famine. In essence, he is a teacher of teachers, for although he does not have the patience to teach a class, he is able to provide information to those who need it at any time. He likes to do this as it satisfies his past life's need for movement. Essentially, he never knows how important the information he is spreading is. However, it has a tremendous impact on the consciousness of all those whose lives it comes into contact with.

His own life is as interesting and complete as an encyclopedia as he tries to live through much of what he has read. His movements may suggest the idea of ​​rest, but he needs a huge amount of movement due to his nervousness. Nervousness should not be seen as a negative trait, but rather as part of his mission. She reminds him that he has a task to complete. When some information comes to him, nervousness works like a trigger, reminding him that he must transfer his knowledge somewhere. In past incarnations, he avoided drawing conclusions.

Now he refuses to make a final judgment about anything, considering it premature, because he knows that new information will constantly come in. He is outwardly versed in almost all areas. However, on a personal level, he can be misunderstood, as the messages he delivers are so disguised that they pass over the heads of others, who think he is always talking about nothing. The fact is, all his words are important, but they have a deep, not a superficial value, and they must be interpreted from this point of view. He is indeed a swift-winged messenger of the gods.

This individual must learn to overcome the karmic feeling that he is the vital center of all situations around him. He enters today's life with subconscious memories of past self-esteem, which makes him feel that at least certain areas of life experience are below him. His previous incarnations placed him in the position of captain of his own ship, and even commander of others. As a result, he is accustomed to adopting an authoritative position whenever the weakness of others arouses his powerful need to take responsibility.

He enjoys the role of protector and protector and goes to extremes, filling his life with those whose weakness puts them under his dominion. By doing so, the individual is constantly testing his own strength to stand tall. This is a lonely position, for the individual here is so preoccupied with a self-appointed mission that he never allows other people to see his real inner self. What he shows is a façade or uniform of a role he feels compelled to play. In his current life, he is going through an experience that teaches him to descend from his skyscraper and secure the foundation below. It is in the realm of the most personal relationships within one's family that the scene is set for a lifelong struggle to gain control of one's own roots.

Many people with this Nodal placement have one unusually demanding parent whose expectations encourage them to believe that they are truly destined to reach a stay in seventh heaven. As a result, they are dissatisfied with whatever situation they find themselves in, as it never lives up to what they feel they were meant to do. The karmic lesson here is the following: "Better a titmouse in the hands than a crane in the sky." The individual must overcome his willingness to give up what he has in order to be able to achieve what he does not have. The individual is so disinclined to see himself in a humble position in the background that, when circumstances force him to do so, he may even in extreme cases contemplate suicide, for he firmly believes that without attaining some great destiny, life is entirely worthless.

This incarnation takes him through the experience of facing conflict between a career for himself and the demands of his family. The individual must learn to mature because, for all his power, influence and dignity, he is practically a cripple when it comes to dealing with his own emotional problems. He must examine his roots and, pulling his head out of the veil of the past, build a practical basis for his future. He eventually learns that his organizational activities are perceived by others as a way to divert attention from putting his own life in order. Relationships established with parents in the early years of life are more important in this position of the Nodes than in any other position.

Here the individual will spend much of his life energy trying to be completely free and independent of his parents, yet always aware of how much he needs them. However, the patterns of reactions to life continue to show a certain defiance and defiance of parents, masking a strong need for parental love. This soul is at a point of karma where it feels undervalued for all its efforts. The rest of the past incarnation is based on achievement for the sake of recognition and appreciation. The achievement should now be its own reward.

It is necessary to stop trying to win a public for your affairs, realizing that the public will always be there if the affairs are significant enough. It is in this process of seeking an audience that the individual tends to lose himself. He must literally transform his fourth house into a new birth of emotional positions, having learned the lesson that standing on tiptoe is unstable. Its life is like that of a beautiful orchid: a superb sight when grown and nurtured under the most delicately controlled environmental conditions, but when the orchid is ready for display it is cut from its roots, guaranteed to wither and certain death in a short time. This individual will be faced with a choice: to be an inconspicuous orchid growing in the gardens of thousands, or to sacrifice their happiness to be a beautiful flower in someone's lapel. As he overcomes his past life's need for display, he may begin to approach the maturity he so desperately yearned for.

North Node in 5th house - South Node in 11th house

Here the individual learns about the Creative Process. He spends a lot of time up in the clouds, tying his wagon to some distant dream, or wading through his vast array of fantastic ideas. In past incarnations, he lived for the fulfillment of desires. Now his web world of subtle dreams is so adorned with the accumulated scent of promise that it takes a fair amount of realistic prodding to shake it off. From a young age, he learned to be a "people connoisseur", spending most of his conscious hours contemplating other people's possible actions. As a result of previous lives, he learned to be very inventive and developed a rich imagination; at times he is even skilful, but he is too accustomed to expend much of his mental energy in working out the intricate plots of fantastic dreams.

He never ceases to be amazed at the bizarre things he can conjure up, but for all his ingenuity, he is one of the least practical people in the zodiac. He is always deeply entangled in his thoughts. What he is really doing is looking for symbols that can provide new material for his future dreams. His karma is to know the importance of dreams as they explain his life. He eventually begins to realize that his entire existence has consisted of playing off his dreams, to the point that he has become a puppet of his own fantasies. When he descends to earth, his first instinct is to reach out to friends who, either in appearance or behavior, remind him of the characters of his subtle fantasy land.

His mind constantly drifts into the distant future, and there, in the science fiction of an age as yet unlived, he lets himself loose in the fascinating fascination of very distant possibilities that would otherwise have very little to do with his life today. He still loves to think. He thinks a lot about the value of his work, as well as the influence of childhood, blaming both for the difficulties associated with sexual urges. In truth, neither his job nor his parents or even sexual urges really bother him. His frustration arises from the gulf he sees between the reality of his previous life's dream world and the harsh awakening circumstances through which his present life actually goes. He finds it difficult to understand why there is a barrier between dreams and actions, and as a result, he spends a lot of effort trying to break through the restrictive walls that separate one world from another.

But all the while he is wasting his power, and the more he does this, the less able he is to create his own life. He must realize that through his North Node in the fifth house, he is now given the greatest gift that a person can receive - the power to create his own destiny. By studying the process of creation, he may begin to realize that it was his own thoughts that caused all the circumstances that he considers to be real in his life. He must then go further, understanding the connection between his thoughts and dreams, for, more than he thinks, his dreams create his life on earth. He must learn to be responsible in his dreams and careful in what he wants, for he, more than a person with any other position of the Nodes in the zodiac, will actually see his dreams materialize.

But the physical effect of any dream always comes with a slight distortion, enough to make a person aware of the danger of selfish creativity. This individual will have to relive his dreams long after he remembers their causes. A big part of his continuing karma is to understand the "power of desire", and how better can he understand this than by experiencing the consequences of all his desires? Thus, his life is both a bliss and a curse, as each time he rubs Aladdin's lamp, his soul will either rise higher on the wings of elation or sink into the depths of his private underworld.

He is learning that his eleventh house South Node dreams are ruled by Aquarius, where they are to be dedicated to the service of humanity, and that the more he wants for others, the more he will eventually have for himself. But when he turns this process in the opposite direction, his life becomes a real ruin. If he decides to create for himself, he faces the unfortunate results of misusing the sacred gift, as his dreams will eventually become so hackneyed and unhappy. If these Nodes do not fall into water or earth signs, they can cause relationship and marriage difficulties due to a large past remnant of non-attachment.

The major turning points in current life revolve around children, through which the individual comes to realize a sense of self-worth. He watches children turn their dreams into action and soon begins to realize that instead of making their dreams plans for the future, he was actually letting them block out every present moment. When he visualizes his dreams as a bottomless well, he can free himself from the castles in the air and focus his attention on what he is creating in the present. To do this, he even realizes that because of the great need for friendship, he is wasting his creative energy.

Most of all, he wants to be a creator, but he will be able to take life into his own hands only after he gives up his dreams. He must literally take the bull by the horns instead of letting himself be led through the fairy-tale world of Cinderella, which his soul remembers. To achieve this it is worth spending a lot of time learning self-discipline, for it is only through the ability to guide himself that he will eventually be able to rise to the surface from the deep waters in which for lifetimes he has immersed his hopes and dreams.

Which contains indicates the paths in which the dreams of a past life extend into this incarnation. which contains , indicates how the individual can constructively apply his dreams to reality through the creative expression of whatever he feels. Some people with a highly developed soul with such a position of the Nodes experienced the Cosmic Consciousness in a previous life. Now, through their North Node in the fifth house, they must bring this awareness to the children of the earth.

North Node in 6th house - South Node in 12th house

This individual spends most of his time in deep thought. He loves to be alone so he can let his inner thoughts sift through the karmic memories of all his past incarnations. This does not mean that he does not like the company or even that he is aware of what he is doing. The fact is that he goes so deep that he completely forgets everything he thinks about. He loses himself in himself. The conscious reason for turning inward is always based on a logical intention, but this individual tends to reach a point where all logic eludes him. The Neptunian subtlety of the depths he reaches remains a mystery even to him!

One of his greatest problems is that while he remains within himself, he prevents others from stabilizing his mental journeys. As a result, he accumulates vast past life fears, with no idea whether they are real or imagined or just a compressed collection of mental scenery from his inner journeys. However, the basis of his outer life is built on fear and imagination, and no matter how strong the rest of the card is, a person cannot always find self-confidence. It looks like a turtle constantly peeking out of its shell. People close to this individual see his life as a tendency to avoid everything that seems real.

He spends most of his time watching others from the back of a see-through mirror. Ultimately, he begins to believe that the rest of the world is looking at him with the same scrutiny. Latent paranoia is "built-in" into this position of the Nodes. He is an extremely poor organizer. He always feels that there are not enough hours in the day to complete his work. His problem is that he does not know how to plan his time and as a result is constantly trying to keep up with the present. Much like the pocket watch bunny from Alice in Wonderland, he must always be in a hurry to avoid being late. Part of his life will be associated with hospitals, institutions or organizations that require him to structure his way of doing things. He needs this in order to get out of his inner "I".

A big karmic lesson for him is to learn responsibility, instead of feeling sorry for all the misfortunes that seem to beset him. More than anyone else in the zodiac, he cries at the slightest injury, real or imagined. Sometimes this crying is internal, but it is always there, because at the deepest levels the individual feels that the love he is supposed to give goes unnoticed and unappreciated. Because he thinks so, he becomes discouraged; and woe to the person who tries to draw him out, for then he will use the receptive listener for all his past grievances, fears and worries that he has not yet even verbalized! With all this, he represents a bottomless well of unrest and torment, where there is no deep enough faith in a positive outcome of events.

He must work on building trust in order to gain the strength to come out of his shell. Then he will become one of the most compassionate, beautiful and helpful people of the zodiac. His North Node in the sixth house gives him great pleasure in helping others, but he cannot do this well until he realizes and accepts the fact that in this incarnation he has chosen a life of self-sacrifice. He must learn to organize his thoughts, work, and diet, for he is a natural healer, able to defy the limitations of practical medicine with his own more arcane treatments. But a talent is not a talent until it is developed, and the individual is no more than he thinks he is. Ultimately, he learns that his greatest gift is faith. But he will have to work long and hard to achieve this realization.

Part of the current life will be spent on curing or coping with a physical or mental illness in himself or those close to him. His main growth will come when he realizes that all disease is disharmony in the body reflecting disharmony in the mind. Something inside him is constantly trying to tell him this, and he must learn not to let his past fears block what is being revealed to him now. Many people with this Nodal position go through the experience of an illness that miraculously disappears to the surprise of doctors and other professional practitioners. The karmic lesson here is to learn about the higher cause, for once understanding is achieved, newborn faith begins to heal. When an individual realizes the power of his faith, he becomes a real dynamo. As he strengthens himself in a more positive way of thinking, he automatically learns not to criticize others for the lack of perfection he sees in them. His outlook on life remains clinical, carefully examining and diagnosing everything he comes into contact with. Of all the Node positions, this one is the most difficult to uncover past incarnations.

The South Node in the twelfth house has completed the karmic path, the details of which must remain forever sealed in the past, even if the elusive entity still remains. The lives of escape from inner torment are over. The individual must come to the realization that most of his inner negativity is not related to the current life, but exists only because of his continued reflection on a path that is already over. He does, however, have an inner sense of persecution and persecution that should be buried once and for all, for the more he allows himself to be immersed in such thoughts, the more he will inadvertently re-create such circumstances. He must learn to recognize the past for what it is: no more than a memory, no more real than the photograph in his mind, which he is free to hold on to for his suffering, or to discard and step into a new productive world. When he brings his mind to a positive and productive outlook on life, he will be able to experience a new meaning for his existence.

North Node in 7th house - South Node in 1st house

Here the individual has to learn many lessons in the areas of partnership, marriage, interaction and cooperation with other people. In past incarnations, he had to answer only to himself for all his thoughts and actions. Now, in today's life, his soul remembers all the individualism and independence that he enjoyed. He may act like a good listener in order to be accepted by society, but he rarely takes advice given to him. Instead, he spends most of his energy developing his existing abilities, constantly seeking approval for the efforts he makes. He never pays as much attention to others as he does to himself, although he is unlikely to admit this openly.

The individual wants to be unsurpassed and will go out of his way to secure for himself a position where his dominion will not be challenged. If the rest of the horoscope indicates strength, then this is truly an individual who wants to be "King of the Hill." Although his experience in this incarnation teaches him to sacrifice for others, he never truly sacrifices himself, as he has spent lifetimes getting to the point where he is now an independent spirit. He can maintain relationships with other people, as long as they do not fetter his freedom. If he feels that someone close to him is preventing him from expressing himself, he will do everything he can to free himself from the relationship. Thus, marriage presents some difficulties for him.

Individuals with this Nodal placement are single, divorced, or at least mentally separated from their marriage partner. They find it hard to believe that the continuation of their own past selfishness is creating all the problems they now blame others for. They must learn to give with all their hearts, and not symbolically throw a bone here and there just to calm the pack. This individual is usually so out of tune with himself as part of the larger universe that he is ready to develop a chronic injury or handicap, either physical or emotional, which he eventually uses for empathy. Failure or failure is unbearable for him, so he constantly feels the need to prove his worth. Sometimes others see him as a fighter, well protected against any threats to his ego. Because he sincerely dislikes being dependent on others, his loyalty is questionable.

Past incarnations have taught him to be true to himself, and this is where his loyalty ends. For those who wish to join him, he will be an intercessor, but he will rarely go out of his way to connect with them. He is a "loner", conscious of his own unique personality and proud of the features in which he knows he can keep it. His karma is to learn to pay attention to other people. He wants to be the center of attention and considers himself more important than he really is, thus blocking off the very love that, as he claims, he is denied. However, he desires to control others, and on this ability to control he bases his reliability and confidence.

He is capable of great achievements, but rarely reaches the level of his potential, because he is so busy with himself that he cannot see his ideas on a cosmic scale. He must learn to look at the reflections of his thoughts and actions and realize that there are always two sides to the same coin. He eventually comes to realize that although both sides of the issue may be completely different, neither is better or worse than the other. His main growth comes when he can step back from himself and laugh dispassionately at all the self-centered ideas that have driven him in the past. He must eventually transfer all the strength, power and confidence accumulated in his previous incarnations to those who are more in need of it. He must do it with all his heart, without a sense of martyrdom. If at the same time he thinks about himself, he will remain on his lonely island. But if his generosity is not mingled with a sense of pride in giving, then he can offer limitless good, as he instills confidence and strength in other people. He can give others the will to live where no one else has been, can make others realize their own worth. But he should not ask for anything in return, for if he learns to focus his energy on helping others, he will be amazed that God continues to provide for all his own needs.

With this position of the Nodes, he will be unhappy if he focuses his energy on himself. If he is married, he will have a lot to learn from his second child, as well as from his relationships with his nephews and nieces. He is destined to devote his life to other people, in fact he has prepared for many lifetimes to meet now the person or people who need him most. In some cases, his marriage partner is an escapist who needs to be given the strength and confidence to face reality. Married or single, this individual will eventually learn that his life is a mission dedicated to another soul or many souls in greater need than he is. His karmic lesson is to develop kindness and understanding. For this he is rewarded a thousandfold.

North Node in 8th house - South Node in 2nd house

Here the individual, at the most basic level, experiences a powerful inner struggle. His karma is to overcome the extreme possessiveness of his past incarnations. Until he can handle it, he will have a hard time finding meaning in something he cannot own. He envies the property of other people, wanting to have everything he notices. For some, this develops into an insatiable desire for possession, and there is little that can take them away from the pursuit of their desires. Almost always the life of the individual revolves around sexual power, and almost always the sexual understanding is very distorted. There is something animal about him, and he openly or covertly ignores the cultural influence of society.

In past lives, the individual did not fully understand the importance of other people's values, but continued to go his own way, not realizing how it affected others. He has accumulated so many needs that no matter how much he fulfills them, the most significant needs always seem out of reach. He is like the proverbial donkey following the carrot tied to his head, but he hardly realizes that he himself placed it there. Those close to him would give him the moon if it made him happy, but they, like him, know that it will be a short-lived toy that will eventually be supplanted by another need. He seems to feel like he should have everything! It is a "lump of immoderation" in all directions. It is difficult for him to change his habits, even if he realizes that he is going down a disastrous path.

At every intersection he goes to extreme extremes. Having discovered his mistakes, he is so far from his starting point that he finds it impossible to see his way back. Thus, he continues to move on the wrong path, because this is the only road that his eyes can see. In some cases, he may come into conflict with the law, but when he sees his mistake, he will try to convince other people that he is right. More than a person with any other position of the Nodes, this individual must learn self-control, because without discipline, indulging the desires of a past incarnation, it is too easy to destroy the current life.

Some people with this position of the Nodes are so weak of character that they come close to death, which opens their eyes to a new understanding and appreciation of life. Others go through extremely difficult sexual episodes, and only then evaluate their behavior. But the karmic lesson is always the same. The individual tries so hard to advance that he eventually destroys all the positions he has reached. Through the symbolic death of excess patterns of behavior, he may eventually experience a new birth. The rest of the past life presents too many physical and material concerns. The main growth in the current life is based on the ability of the individual to draw out from the depths of his existence the strength for rebirth.

He often takes an interest in the occult, gaining the knowledge necessary to achieve a rejuvenating transformation. Whatever he undertakes, there will be chaos in everything, since he is a supporter of extreme views. However, the combined karmic residue of stubbornness and laziness continues to delay his rebirth. His soul wants transformation, but he does not have enough energy for this. The hardest part for him is learning to leave no trace, as he is so desperate to be impressive that he keeps making his life harder. Relationships are extremely important to him. In past incarnations, he has been accustomed to seeing the world as a social caste system, and within this framework he continues to fight for status, always believing that some people are more privileged than others.

Through his North Node in the eighth house, he must symbolically kill this past life value system and experience a long-term metamorphosis that will eventually attune him to the values ​​of other people. Listening to his loved ones, he should learn a lot from them. Most of his thoughts about sex come from a deep-seated desire to destroy the physical plane. This makes him disgusted with himself and the physical and material life he has led for so long. Overt or secret lust, as well as jealousy and envy for money or business, spirals his life to a point of no return. When he achieves this, he accepts other people's value systems in order to find his way back. But he will have to discard everything that he once considered important, as if he is being asked to step back behind the line and wait for his turn.

Each time a new and more refined value appears before him, he must learn to eliminate everything in himself that blocks its acceptance. He will start a new life at the bottom rung of the ladder. The slowness of the ascent will make him deeply appreciate every inch of the upward movement. Truly, these Nodes indicate a difficult life, but the firmly rooted attitudes of past incarnations are to blame. Until the transition is completed, the individual can expect his current life to be one of financial tug-of-war. He must learn the karmic lesson that property is owned in order to be used and that it is not necessary to own more than what is immediately useful.

When he stops wasting vital energy, he can become a real dynamo in the business world. However, he must never forget that he must burn bridges to prevent slipping back to the levels he struggled to pass through. He must understand the biblical story of Lot, who, when he was finally delivered from Sodom and Gomorrah, was asked to leave the city, not to take any property with him, and under no circumstances to look back. The North Node in the eighth house can bring about the rebirth or degeneration of the individual. It depends on the strength of his own faith. In order to reach the heavens of this Nodal position, one must first go through the underworld and in the very bowels of the earth realize that God will hear a subtle cry for help, as soon as a person sincerely promises "not to look back."

North Node in 9th house - South Node in 3rd house

This individual is constantly pulling himself out of the net. Every relationship he enters into becomes so complex and confusing that he must use all his energy to free himself. In past incarnations, he had a great need for people, and this is his weak point. He thinks he would like to be alone, but feels an almost overwhelming need to connect with other people. He listens to problems and loves to be asked for advice. Often frustrated by the many problems that have fallen on his head, he secretly thinks that he would be better able to handle all matters if he had more knowledge.

He tries to be as diplomatic as possible and constantly thinks about the words he said to others. Always mindful of the interpretation that may be given to his words, he is afraid of being misunderstood. As a result, he keeps going back to yesterday's conversation to re-explain everything he had in mind. He must understand the essence of truth and not make the truth smaller by trying to convey it verbally to other people. One of his biggest problems is having to deal with the karmic remnant of an insatiable curiosity that, although it served him well in previous incarnations, now drives him deeper and deeper into the web of details.

His greatest crisis comes every time he has to make a decision, because instead of relying on his intuition or his higher intelligence, he continues to search for more and more facts and details in the hope that, when he has all the information, the process decision making will be easier. Constantly trying to achieve neutrality, he becomes a paradox for himself. In previous lives, he was accustomed to slogan phrases, witty sayings and pompous style, and now he has become a walking cliché. With a love of reading and exploring the wondrous land of knowledge that he sees around him, he constantly yearns for more understanding. He is convinced that this is the only path in life that has no end.

This individual can turn into a lifelong study anything he becomes keenly interested in, especially if the South Node is in a fixed sign. He likes to feel experienced and sophisticated. As a result, he will do things that others won't, just to experience new understanding. His current life is so tied to numerous people that he is sure to hurt someone's feelings - not because of malicious intent, but rather because of an inability to keep up with everyone in whose life he is involved. Deep down, he has many inner doubts about himself, which are exacerbated when he talks to others, because if it were possible, he would try to be everything to all people.

As a result of past life habits, he spends too much time in the "lower mind". He makes more movements than he should, and if not physically, then mentally. At times, his whirlwind of possibilities is so great that he completely exhausts himself thinking about everything he has to do. As a result, it does nothing. He will experience fear of impotence. When he starts asking these questions, his great thirst for understanding can lead him into a erratic pattern of behavior until he is sure that everything is fine and he is completely normal. On the deepest levels, he is not an animal in sex, but fears being excluded from a carefree life because of his mental tendencies.

Like a child who is afraid that his peers will consider him a bookworm, he will prove that he can be accepted in a physically oriented world. However, his greatest subconscious need is to become a walking encyclopedia, never to be caught off guard by not having the right information at the right time. His greatest growth comes when he learns how to make the karmic transition from the lower mind to the higher mind. As he casts aside past life attachment to trifles, his eyes begin to open wide to the vast horizons that stretch before him. The less he talks to others, the more faith he begins to develop. He must learn to constantly expand his interests so that the scope of his knowledge is not limited to the requirements of the immediate circle of communication.

Well, if he learns to step back to see the forest for the trees. When he does this, he will also recognize a new sense of peace and serenity that somehow has always eluded him. Travel will help expand his perspective, and he will meet his most significant successes far from his birthplace. The lives of some individuals will be greatly influenced by a foreigner. Through the North Node in the ninth house, great spiritual growth is possible as the individual learns to let go of all his doubts of the previous life. He must pull his mind out of the limited world and focus on the infinite consciousness. In doing so, he will lose friends, as only a few will understand his sudden aloofness. But thanks to those who stay with him, he will understand the difference between friends and acquaintances. As he grows, he will begin to focus on ideas, and not on the words through which ideas are expressed. He sees how others limit themselves to language and tries to appeal to their ideas rather than "their words.

North Node in 10th house - South Node in 4th house

Here the individual discovers that most of the time must be devoted to the family. He constantly feels subjugated, as if he is prevented from realizing individuality. The fact is that he enters the current life with a lot of karma due to his family. In past incarnations, he ignored the one who fed him. Now he has to feed himself from the hands. In his current life, he finds that his marriage partner and children do not appreciate what he is trying to do for them. However, he will do more if he is ever going to outgrow his karma. At times, the burden becomes so heavy that he must fight with himself to keep from feeling inner resentment and resentment.

A woman with this Nodal position will have problems with at least one child, which will require most of her time, effort, energy and care, as she must learn the deepest levels of responsibility of motherhood. To further enforce this karma, the spouse will either be absent or so lacking in character that she will eventually have to become mother and father at the same time. Positive or negative emotions never leave the family. The individual constantly feels the need to escape and be free, but past life memories of self-imposed chains never fully allow him to do so. Virtually all of an individual's energy is spent unraveling the relationships around him. In some cases, there is a conflict in the family over real estate.

He must learn not to succumb to a sense of hopelessness under the pressure of circumstances, as the needs of his family are constantly growing to the point that at times they become much greater than he expected. He is often taken by surprise by the actions of those closest to him, for although outwardly he may be experienced and sophisticated, he still remains almost childishly naive about his loved ones. Some people with this position of the Nodes must go to work, becoming the only source of support for the family. Others have been placed in the position of family overseer. There is always a conflict between what he would like to do for himself and what he knows he should do for the people he loves.

Constantly facing situations that tempt him to react in a childish way, he must learn how to grow up. He must rise above family disharmony and do everything he can to achieve his own dignity. Only when the needs of loved ones are understood can he be freed for a career. When he turns to the North Node in the tenth house, he eventually assumes an influential role. He should focus on the higher meaning of life, and not on the disparate needs of close family members.

Paradoxically, he eludes one family, creating a new one, until eventually every person he meets and loves becomes drawn closer to him in the pseudo-universal family model. As the years pass, life begins to resemble "the old woman who lived in a shoe." His greatest happiness comes from being in a position where he is able to offer shelter to others. In later life, he joyfully again invites others to lean on him. His mission to move away from emotional immaturity and towards responsibility tells him that each person he guides represents another installment for his own ticket to spiritual evolution.

Ultimately, he makes himself so helpless that his behavior becomes hopelessly childish. He desperately wants to be loved, but the remnant of past life sexual tension is so great that he is often confused about what really matters to him. He has great difficulty in understanding reality, since his life is a theater of actors, and his dreams are so romantic in nature that he becomes a real Don Quixote chasing windmills. He believes in chivalry and can be easily fooled by a romantic halo. Wanting to be constantly reassured that his coming into life does not go unnoticed, he cannot accept the role of a mere member of the public.

For those who appreciate him, he can be very generous and generous, but in moments when he feels ignored, he will escape into his easy dream world, trying to create a seventeenth century romantic adventure in which he will be the central character. In his constant search for self-fulfillment through amorous adventures, he can easily lose his way. He would like others to think of him as a sacrificer, and when he gets involved in a love affair, he has to lose everything. Like the "Martyr King" who sacrificed his throne in order to fulfill his love, this individual would like his exploits to be revered, approved, and even admired. His self-esteem of a past life is so great that he is not particularly pleased with even the thought of an illicit love affair; however, from time to time he engages in such an adventure only to express his ability to sacrifice principle for what he considers at that moment the greatest love in the world.

Essentially he is a good person, and it would take serious defeats in the map to find a malefic bone in the body. Throughout the zodiac, his creative talents in dealing with children are unsurpassed, because at heart he is a child himself. Regardless of his Sun sign, he will need to lean on a stronger person than himself sometime in this life. Through his North Node in the eleventh house, he should learn the value of friendship. He must transcend the physically possessive relationships of his past incarnations and cherish with equal fervor the new selfless relationships he is now forming. In this life, he learns how to pay more attention to the meaning of his dreams and dreams, and not try to strain his will against the current flow.

While dreaming, he receives messages from higher leaders and telepathically begins to understand the reasons for all his actions, but his desire is often so great that he refuses to accept what he knows to be true. If he were asked to completely give up something in his life, it would only be his powerful self-will, since here in the pride of his ego he actually blocks everything that he so desperately wants. Truly, he is his own worst enemy. An individual with this position of the Nodes suffers from "built-in" dissatisfaction, as everything that he creates through his South Node only makes him dream of more that he has missed. He would like to free himself from entangled and difficult situations, but he constantly falls from the fire into the frying pan. Before any growth can be made, he must learn to overcome the monstrous dragon ego he has allowed to become his self-generating instrument of destruction.

He must learn to see himself impartially, realizing that his life is like a river flowing under a bridge from whose vantage point he can look down on it. His most difficult test is to succumb to the temptation to control the flow of this river, but his greatest happiness comes when he can appreciate its beauty without interference. He will experience at least one important experience - he will be required to sacrifice his personal ego for the sake of honesty and justice for another. Only when he learns how to free himself from attachment thoughts can he achieve his highest goal.

As long as he retains the slightest trace of pride in himself, all power in his chart will be rejected by him. Even the possibility of a harmonious marriage looms out of his reach until he becomes impartial. The South Node in the fifth house uses so much energy in trying to achieve compassion and sympathy for oneself that it is difficult for an individual to find the strength to give full satisfaction to a marriage partner. Many people with this position of the Nodes experience divorce, but this is neither fate nor inevitability. This is simply the result of a misuse of the energies of the South Node. Because of too much self-focus, the individual does not see or fully appreciate all the good that he has. The answer will again be the same.

He must loosen the grip on "himself" and dedicate his life to selfless service, and not expect others to serve him. If he can become less romantic and think more scientifically, he will begin to see the truth. He must never allow flashes of passion to cloud his vision, for happiness will be achieved only when he can look at life from an impartial point of view. His karma is to learn how to become uninvolved yet always available when others need him. Ultimately, he is destined to become a selfless servant of humanity. Sometime in this life, he will do much to advance another person's career. Friendships, clubs and societies will become important to him, for it is through such associations with other people that he eventually begins to feel his own individuality.

Because others value him, he begins to value himself. Then he is able to see himself as part of others, and also as part of the higher cause to which he has dedicated himself. The more he can do this, the more he will break away from the plane of self-consciousness, and the needs to satisfy his own ego will sink into the collective ego of the cause to which he has dedicated his individuality. When he has completed this lesson, his strength of character and sense of direction will be no weaker or less purposeful than the cause of which he has become a part.

, which contains points out the ways in which the individual allows too much past remnant of passion and desire to put pressure on his today's life. , which contains , indicates the ways in which he can develop sufficient detachment in order to free his "I", enabling him to devote his energy to the common cause.

North Node in 12th house - South Node in 6th house

Here the individual experiences a crisis in consciousness. Whether he really knows it or not, most of his life is spent in deep thought. He finds the physical world draining. From time to time, he must cope with an illness that takes him out of the arena of competition, greatly affecting his ability to work. He finds the working conditions unbearable: he feels that his work is paid at the lowest rate, or at least underestimated everything that he offers. He becomes so immersed in the circumstances surrounding everything he does that he allows his attitudes towards work to permeate every area of ​​his life. He has many former memories of order and organization, but everywhere he goes he sees chaos.

In past incarnations, he was an adherent of perfection, critical of the world around him. Now the imperfections and shortcomings he sees weaken him to the point that he feels unable to cope with it. The world is perceived as not giving him everything he can. Some people with this Node position tend to sink into self-pity, while others harbor bitter feelings of resentment and resentment. They envy the well-being of other people, believing that they deserve it more. Usually a pompous ego is at the root of the problem. The Self developed in past incarnations is now seen as a perfect ideal placed above the rest of humanity.

Alone with himself, this individual rarely admits that he looks down on other people. However, he secretly views everyone as less than perfect than himself. He would rather be out of a job than do a job that he feels is beneath him. It is certain, however, that circumstances will compel him to do such work, even if it is against all his principles. By translating irritation into a feeling of depression, he creates one very real illness after another, until he eventually reaches the point where he feels justified in blaming his working conditions for ill health.

From a past incarnation, he remembers that society "did not let him in", sees himself as an abandoned child, deprived of wealth in life, which is for others, but for some reason not for him. He spends too much energy trying to impress others, but not enough to develop fullness within himself. More than anything else, he must learn to look within, where he will find the answers to all his problems. Many people with this Node placement watch life pass them by, wasting too much energy and spending too much time immersed in their petty thoughts.

The past remnant of nervousness at the South Node in the sixth house literally plagues him. He tries to categorize every tiny detail that falls into his sphere of attention. He must learn to distinguish between what is important in terms of his life values ​​and what is. which represents merely temporary distresses that will pass in due time. Because of his constant doubts, the individual creates a sexual problem for himself, deeply rooted in fears of failure. He is so incapable of facing his fears that he will deal with the problem by developing an abnormal sexual response pattern designed to mask his sense of inadequacy. Although he tries not to, he continues to see himself as a helpless pebble on a seaside where there are thousands of others.

In previous lives he managed to control his universe. Now the world seems bigger than he would like, and he does his best not to feel too small in comparison. His growth begins from the moment he begins to see himself not only as part of a greater whole, but as containing the essence of the entire universe. He must break the past incarnation's tendency to put the world into little boxes and look for the source of everything within himself. Here he will discover the great wealth he so desperately sought.

Periods of enforced isolation help bring him into higher consciousness. He eventually learns that things can be different, and not necessarily one will be better or worse than the other. Taking a deeper look at himself, he realizes that all life conditions are completely dependent on how much he can give up trying to overthrow the world and redirect his energy to overthrow himself. It is good if he participates in the work of a large institution where he can develop group consciousness, focusing on the collective good of the whole, and not plunging into the accumulated remnant of his past bitterness. He will be repeatedly tested in areas that will help him develop compassion, until he eventually sees that by judging others, he is actually hindering his own happiness.

His past karma is erased as he learns how to flow smoothly and not let his life continue to be interrupted by petty distractions. He must tune in to the essence of the universe, and not try to sort everything into neat little compartments. Branches are like a house of cards, and only after it falls apart does the individual begin to realize that his purpose in life is very far from what he originally thought. He can now learn how to relax and bathe in the beauty of God's entire creation, rather than just representing a part of God and calling the part he sees All. Once he can readily welcome change, bowing to the winds of change, he is on the right track.

In the end, he will leave the world where people manipulate each other and will pass through the door to higher harmony. In preparation, he must transcend the past life subconscious memories of physical problems that are still dragging him down and begin to climb the cosmic ladder that leads him to his soul awareness. He must learn how to appreciate the beauty of everything he sees around him without getting bogged down in the details. His life will represent the completion of an idea, in much the same way that Dante's work symbolized the completion of a period in literature. When he accepts this, his life's work may be the great culmination of all that has passed before him. While his work may take him behind the scenes, the chances are high that it could reach the public eye. He must also learn that his physical health depends entirely on the purity and stability of his inner spirit. Truly, this is the Nodal position of spirit over matter, and life will be a karmic transition from the world of matter into the consciousness of the infinite spirit.

This individual must learn to overcome the karmic feeling that he is the vital center of all situations around him.

He enters today's life with subconscious memories of past self-esteem, which makes him feel that at least certain areas of life experience are below him.

His previous incarnations placed him in the position of captain of his own ship, and even commander of others. As a result, he is accustomed to adopting an authoritative position whenever the weakness of others arouses his powerful need to take responsibility.

He enjoys the role of protector and protector and goes to extremes, filling his life with those whose weakness puts them under his dominion. By doing so, the individual is constantly testing his own strength to stand tall.

This is a lonely position, for the individual here is so preoccupied with a self-appointed mission that he never allows other people to see his real inner self. What he shows is a façade or uniform of a role he feels compelled to play.

In his current life, he is going through an experience that teaches him to descend from his skyscraper and secure the foundation below.

It is in the realm of the most personal relationships within one's family that the scene is set for a lifelong struggle to gain control of one's own roots.

Many people with this Nodal placement have one unusually demanding parent whose expectations encourage them to believe that they are truly destined to reach a stay in seventh heaven. As a result, they are dissatisfied with whatever situation they find themselves in, as it never lives up to what they feel they were meant to do.

The karmic lesson here is the following: "Better a titmouse in the hands than a crane in the sky." The individual must overcome his willingness to give up what he has in order to be able to achieve what he does not have.

The individual is so disinclined to see himself in a humble position in the background that, when circumstances force him to do so, he may even in extreme cases contemplate suicide, for he firmly believes that without attaining some great destiny, life is entirely worthless.

This incarnation takes him through the experience of facing conflict between a career for himself and the demands of his family.

The individual must learn to mature because, for all his power, influence and dignity, he is practically a cripple when it comes to dealing with his own emotional problems. He must examine his roots and, pulling his head out of the veil of the past, build a practical basis for his future.

He eventually learns that his organizational activities are perceived by others as a way to divert attention from putting his own life in order.

Relationships established with parents in the early years of life are more important in this position of the Nodes than in any other position. Here the individual will spend much of his life energy trying to be completely free and independent of his parents, yet always aware of how much he needs them. However, the patterns of reactions to life continue to show a certain defiance and defiance of parents, masking a strong need for parental love.

This soul is at a point of karma where it feels undervalued for all its efforts. The rest of the past incarnation is based on achievement for the sake of recognition and appreciation. The achievement should now be its own reward. It is necessary to stop trying to win a public for your affairs, realizing that the public will always be there if the affairs are significant enough. It is in this process of seeking an audience that the individual tends to lose himself. He must literally transform his fourth house into a new birth of emotional positions, having learned the lesson that standing on tiptoe is unstable.

Its life is like that of a beautiful orchid: a superb sight when grown and nurtured under the most delicately controlled environmental conditions, but when the orchid is ready for display it is cut from its roots, guaranteed to wither and certain death in a short time. This individual will be faced with a choice: to be an inconspicuous orchid growing in the gardens of thousands, or to sacrifice their happiness to be a beautiful flower in someone's lapel. As he overcomes his past life's need for display, he may begin to approach the maturity he so desperately yearned for.
