What is the meaning of the lunar nodes in the birth chart?

The North and South Nodes of the Moon, also known as the Dragon Head and Dragon Tail, are connected to our life mission or karmic purpose. The North Node acts as an evolutionary compass, pointing towards what we must consciously develop through our willpower, while the South Node is associated with a type of energy that we were attuned to in our past lives and that we will express through unconscious habits or instincts in this life. Our evolutionary task is to break free from repetitive patterns of behavior represented by the South Node and align with the energetic frequency indicated by the North Node. The North Node and the South Node always fall in opposite signs and houses. From an astronomical perspective, they are the points of the ecliptic where the orbits of the Sun and the Moon intersect.

The North Node of the Moon in the 1st house

The South Node, located in the opposite house, is related to areas or topics where we must avoid falling into repetitive patterns of behavior and generating negative karma. When the North Node is in your 1st house, your evolution is focused on self-determination. Your challenge is to shine with your own light and find your place in the world. If your decisions or actions always depend on external factors, you must consciously change this to evolve. Repetitive patterns of behavior that can hinder personal growth and create obstacles may manifest in interpersonal relationships, marriage, or partnerships (7th house) due to the location of the South Node. It is important to avoid establishing toxic or dependent relationships.

In summary, when the North Node is in the 1st house, it is crucial to establish your own identity, strengthen your sense of security, independence, and self-confidence, and resist the influence of external circumstances. Always remain true to yourself, maintain a leadership attitude, and be willing to accept leadership roles to facilitate personal growth.

For example, if the North Node of the Moon is in Libra and the South Node in Aries, acting in a balanced, equanimous and fair manner (Libra) will help the person to evolve and fulfill their life mission while impulsive attitudes, Impatient or conflictive (Aries) will condition their evolutionary development.

For example, if the planet Saturn makes a trine to the North Node of the Moon in the birth chart, acting with maturity, commitment and discipline (Saturn) will help you evolve and fulfill your life mission.

Sun, Moon and ruler of the Ascendant Vs North Node of the Moon

By studying the location by houses of the Sun, the Moon and the ruler of the Ascendant, one can determine the level of harmony of the most important points of the natal theme with the karmic purpose or life mission indicated by the North Node of the Moon. For example, if the North Node of the Moon is located in the 10th house related to profession, career or trade and the Sun is also located in this house, the karmic purpose (North Node) and the hero´s journey (Sun) will be aligned, and it will be easier and more natural to fulfill the mission indicated by the North Node.

On the other hand, when the North Node of the Moon is in the house opposite the Sun, the Moon or the ruler of the Ascendant, a conscious effort must be made to develop the themes and areas linked to the house where the North Node is. For example, if the North Node is located in the 1st house, the karmic purpose is related to self-determination, but if the Moon is located in the 7th house (opposite house), excessive emotional dependence on relationships can compromise the evolutionary task of Self-determination. that the North Node demands, and it is important to be aware of this.
