The North and South Nodes: Your Soul's Urge and Magnetic Pull
The Nodes reveal the soul's gravitational pull—not what you're 'supposed' to do, but what your deepest self is magnetically drawn toward. Your business becomes most fulfilling when it serves as a vehicle for following this irresistible urge while honoring the gifts you've already developed.
The North and South Nodes are not planets but rather points where the Moon's orbit intersects with the Earth's path around the Sun. Symbolically, they represent the intersection between your personal lunar wisdom (intuition, cycles, emotional intelligence) and your solar purpose (creative will, conscious direction). Think of the Nodes as revealing your soul's magnetic field—the South Node as what you've already mastered and your natural gifts, and the North Node as what your soul is magnetically pulled toward and your growth edge.
Young Expression of the Nodes:
Young Nodal expression either completely rejects South Node gifts as "bad" or "past life" limitations, or forces North Node development without integration. There's spiritual bypassing using North Node concepts to avoid practical responsibilities, with all-or-nothing thinking about which Node to focus on. This expression shows up as trying to abandon all South Node qualities while forcing yourself into North Node behaviors, or staying completely in South Node comfort zone while avoiding growth entirely.
Mature Expression of the Nodes:
Mature Nodal expression honors South Node gifts while recognizing their limitations, gradually developing North Node qualities through conscious practice. There's integration using South Node strengths to support North Node growth, with flexibility moving fluidly between Nodes as situations require. This expression consciously uses South Node talents in service of North Node development, creating businesses that bridge both energies in service of authentic evolution.
