Venus & Embracing Lighthearted Part of the House Placement 🎭 💸 🏠 ��

Whatever house we have Venus in is where we enjoy the lighthearted aspects of that house. For example, having a 12th house Venus can take a liking to and display skills in acting 🎭 since it deals with the imagination. An 8th house Venus can take a liking to and display skills in day trading, crypto, side hustles & investing

3rd House Placements Being Busy Bees 🐝

3rd house placements lean towards being very busy 

The Moon & Venus in Synastry 🌙💗

Venus represents our personal preferences, and the Moon is our needs, especially in Synastry chart compatibility. We may be able to work through different preferences easier (technically incompatible Venus signs) than we can work through different emotional needs (technically incompatible Moon signs)

South Node in Air Signs Becoming Less Social Throughout Life 🌙☁️🚪

When the South Node is in an air sign and the North Node is in a fire sign, this can mean the person is meant to become less social and busy, entering cycles of recharge & self rather than others (unless the North & South Nodes both sit at an air degree) then the native could remain a little more busy, and it can work, but maybe the circle of who they hang out with becomes smaller or switches throughout life 

Chiron & The Judgements From Others We Take Personally ❤️‍🩹🗝️

Chiron can represent the type of judgement we take personally. For example, a Libra Chiron or Taurus Chiron might take judgments on how they spend money personally as well as comments on their appearance. Or a Chiron in the 9th house or in Sagittarius may take judgments on their beliefs personally and get triggered. Virgo Chiron might take comments made against their judgment or intelligence very personally. Scorpio Chiron might take comments hinting they lack personal power personally. Leo Chiron might take comments surrounding being attention-seeking personally

Mercury & Jupiter Harsh Aspects and Closed Mindedness 🧠🚪💭

Harsh aspects with Mercury and Jupiter can represent people who are closed-minded or struggle with different opinions from their own philosophies 

Difference Between Cancer, Capricorn & Aquarius Jupiters ⚖️ 🧠 💭

Jupiter in Cancer or Capricorn can lean towards more traditional values & beliefs versus having an Aquarius Jupiter can indicate being open towards understanding, accepting & even embracing more progressive values & beliefs 

Squares to the Nodes & Skipped Step in Previous Life 🚧 🗺️ 🧭

Squares to the Nodes can represent things that were a reality in which we didn’t accept and that could have been met with consistent resistance in order to pay attention to what we’re not accepting. We have to let go of the South Node’s lower vibrational energy that would keep the native uncomfortable when karmic scenarios come up and revert back to unsatisfying familiar & comfortable ways of dealing with things 

Vesta & Our Non-Negotiables 🚫 💕

Vesta conjunctions and Vesta shows what’s deeply spiritual to you. Saturn aspecting Vesta can indicate discipline is spiritual to us; it keeps the fire inside of us alive. Vesta in aspect to our Mars can indicate sex, and Vesta in aspect to Venus can be beauty & our personal values

Pluto & Burnout 🧨🌧️

Whatever house Pluto is located in can be where we experience periods of burnout, where we share our private information and/or what we keep private. It is the area of life where we willingly put ourselves in situations that can look doubtful just to go to the extreme and have it shift us as a result

Nodal Dominant Themes — 𝐍𝐚𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 (part 1) 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟓

Ardra, Swati, Shatabhisha embody Rahu qualities to the fullest. Breaking boundaries, whether they mean to or not, refining or rebuilding themselves by the way they absorb Maya (illusion), being thrown into foreign lands to create, explore and challenge existing paradigms. The ultimate mastery of Rahu nakshatras lies in recognizing that Maya is not the goal, but the process of refinement. This is shown in the natives' urge to learn, apply and cultivate something for themselves. This means that their initial stages have a lot of lack, and that's where that hunger to achieve and receive comes from. They'll take on challenges if it means there's an opportunity to fulfill themselves. In these following examples, the Rahuvian character is often given an opportunity to enter higher societies, usually through a job, a scholarship or from meeting the right person in the right time.

Swati Sun Julia Roberts, in Pretty Woman, plays a poor, sex worker who enters the high society through a billionaire and becomes 'refined'. Despite her glow up, her authenticity still contrasts with the pretentiousness of the high class social circle she finds herself in, challenging their perceptions of worth and class.

Much like Pretty Woman, in the film My Fair Lady, the Rahuvian meets a snobbish phonetics professor who wages that he can make her presentable in high society.

In the film Khoobsurat, Shatabhisha Moon Sonam Kapoor Ahuja plays a quirky physiotherapist who is ill-mannered and boundless. She is given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for a royal family. There, she meets a handsome young Rajput prince who is her complete opposite (given that he is portrayed by a Mula Moon native, Fawad Khan, who adheres to the customs of his background, bound by his roots).

Despite their different social classes, the royal family learns a lot from her authenticity.

This theme of outer duality in which the native crosses over to a whole new world different from where they originally came from centers a lot around the 'poor vs rich' dynamic in these modern examples — exploring classism, elitism and other societal divisions which make outsiders.

As I briefly gave examples in this post, Shatabhisha can be linked to Cinderella. Which means that trine nakshatras can also inherit this theme of person from poor background falls in love with person from wealthy background. As shown in that post, the union is often with a Mula native. It was expected to find these Rahu-Ketu connections, as the nodes are always one with each other. Their themes can overlap, which I'll be going more into further down this post.

The Mula CEO also comes from old money.

Rahu thrives on venturing the unknown and embracing the unconventional, often shown in the trope of one falling in love with someone alien.

This otherworldly love is seen in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, where a Rahuvian sailor falls in love with the mermaid, Syrena. Mermaids are captured and exploited by humans — immediately we see this theme of division. And unlike the other humans, he treats Syrena with respect and equality.

Syrena is portrayed by Mula Moon Astrid Berges-Frisbey, while the sailor is portrayed by Ardra Sun Sam Claflin. In the end, Philip becomes a merman and lives with Syrena underwater. This transformation that the Rahuvian goes through in order to unite with a lover of another species is also seen in the film Lisa Frankenstein, starring Shatabhisha Moon Kathryn Newton — although it's more in a Romeo-&-Juliet style.

The Rahuvian character, Lisa, falls in love with Creature, who is a living corpse portrayed by Magha ASC Cole Sprouse. Lisa kills herself in a tanning bed to join the Creature in death. Their union shows her alive, but mummified.

This theme of one overcoming the obstacle between them and the person they desire is seen yet again in the film Casper (1995). A girl, played by Magha ASC Christina Ricci, meets a ghost named Casper, who falls in love with her. Casper is voiced by Malachi Pearson who has potential Swati Moon. Casper's one wish is to be human again so that he can win her heart.

His wish is fulfilled but he can only be human up until midnight. His human form is portrayed by Swati Moon Devon Sawa.

In the Korean drama, Are You Human?, Shatabhisha Sun Gong Seung-yeon plays a bodyguard who is given an opportunity to protect an advanced humanoid whom she falls in love with. Another abnormal, interspecies relationship.

The humanoid is the clone of an heir of a rich conglomerate. The heir is portrayed by Magha Moon native Seo Kang-joon – him being born into wealth contrasts with her being brought up from a poorer background; we see this theme again of a cross over between two opposite worlds as she gets romantically entangled with him.

A lot of these pairings show Rahu's need to break taboos and seek authenticity over conformity, as these unions tend to be abnormal in a discriminatory society. As illusory as Rahu is by nature, it highlights the illusions within society and the challenges that come with it.

Rahu seeks to challenge conventions, forcing individuals to confront their biases, embrace diversity, and explore love in its most expansive ways; while Ketu can be detached from society in general, already transcending or dissociating from it altogether.

Now extending the old money archetype into this, we can see Rahuvians embodying this shabby, nonconforming, rough-around-the-edges, transformative archetype who'll be on the opposite end. As Ketu symbolizes the past, ancestral roots, tradition, the old way of doing things; Rahu symbolizes the future, foreignness, pursuit, a new way of doing things.

Old money often means adhering to strict family rituals, customs, and expectations. There's an expectation for the wealthy to marry their own, maintaining a cultural practice that has existed for centuries, a theme of Ketu as it means to preserve the past. But Rahu comes in as a disruptor, changing rules that seemed absolute, causing more confusion and tension. Rahu often seeks unity, even with our all differences.

Rahu and Ketu are always 180 degrees apart in a chart. This gives an understanding to how they're always on opposite sides of the same coin. So their union in these media examples often come with resistance and chaos.

The story of Romeo and Juliet is about a star-crossed love stuck in this push-&-pull between tradition and breaking free from tradition.

Rahu is symbolized as the head of a dragon, while Ketu is the tail. Together they remain in this endless chase, their nature defined by longing and separation. Maria and Tony from A West Side Story mirrors this nodal dynamic, as it's based on the classic Romeo and Juliet. Just as the nodes themselves are forever trapped in opposition and in an eternal chase, these lovers remain trapped by their differences. Their love and lives are destined to be cut short, signifying the impossible union between the opposing nodes in these forbidden love stories.

The tragic ending of Maria and Tony’s story reflects the inevitable nature of the nodes. In both Romeo and Juliet and A West Side Story, we see the power of love transcending societal barriers, yet this love is doomed by the very forces it seeks to overcome.

Ashwini nakshatra literally has the strongest ties in Romeo & Juliet (list).

Another pair of this nodal influence (Ketu-Ketu), with this exact theme, is Mavis and Johnny from the animation Hotel Transylvania. Mavis is voiced by Ashwini Moon Selena Gomez, and Johnny is voiced by Magha Sun Andy Samberg. Mavis is a vampire and Johnny is a human. Their worlds should never have had a crossover to begin with. But Johnny, being Magha, feels a sense of belonging with these monsters and Mavis instead of fearing them (a nod to the Mula archetype and Beauty-&-the-Beast trope, which, as I've stated before, can also manifest itself as Ketu-Ketu instead of Ketu-Jupiter... much like Belle and Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon A Time, Belle being played by Mula Sun Emilie de Ravin and Rumpelstiltskin portrayed by Ashwini Sun Robert Carlyle — the show's own Beauty & the Beast).

Though light-hearted and comedic, their union was forbidden as monsters and humans should be kept apart to their own worlds due to past conflicts. Mavis' father, Dracula, goes to great lengths to separate the two, but then he realizes that their love is genuine and overcomes his prejudices.

The theme of letting go touches on Ketu's tendency to sever ties, signifying the lesson of how temporary things are, including love. The film Untamed Heart is a great example, perfectly encapsulating this theme between two Ketu natives.

And as Mars also rules Ashwini nakshatra, this can be a major focus.

Connecting Orpheus to Ashwini, so much of this nakshatra's themes are highlighted in this Greek myth. Ketu is associated with nature, animal caretaking, and taming wild beasts. This is seen in Orpheus's ability to charm animals, move trees and rocks, and even change the course of rivers, through his music. Music has been known as a form of comfort and healing, and Orpheus' music is so powerful that it hypnotizes wild beasts, even influencing Hades, the ruler of the underworld.

The mythological character loses the love of this life, Eurydice, and he is unable to accept her death. He becomes so desperate, filled with grief and fear, that he descends into the underworld to get Eurydice back. As Ashwini can be driven by selfishness, severance becomes a major lesson in their journey.

The musical film Black Orpheus (1959) is directed by Ashwini Sun, Magha ASC Marcel Camus, a black Brazilian retelling of the tale.

In Jason & the Argonauts (2000), Ashwini Moon Adrian Lester portrays Orpheus. In the animation Hell and Back, *Ashwini Moon Danny McBride voices Orpheus. In 1960s The Giants of Thessaly, Massimo Girotti portrays Orpheus and he has Moon in Magha (trine nakshatra to Ashwini). This obvious connection of Ashwini to Orpheus takes me back to the ruling deities, the Ashwini Kumaras. Ashwini can be related to partnership, soulmates, connected minds. Here, there's a theme of inseparability yet the nature of the nakshatra forces severance. Back to the tale — With just the charm of his music, Orpheus is able to convince Hades to bring Eurydice back to life, only under the condition that Orpheus never looks back at her when they leave the underworld. Overwhelmed with so much love, he's unable to help himself, as he fails and looks back at her as they neared the exit. This is how Orpheus loses Eurydice forever.

Similar to Orpheus, the Twelfth Doctor from Doctor Who spirals into madness and desperation after the death of his close companion, Clara Oswald. The Twelfth Doctor is played by Ashwini Sun native Peter Capaldi. His Aries relentlessness and selfishness has him breaking the laws of time to bring her back, just like Orpheus breaks the natural order of life to get Eurydice back.

Clara Oswald is interestingly nodal herself, being played by Ashwini native Jenna Coleman.

YouTube video link

His journey through grief and his refusal to let her go mirrors Orpheus's determination to challenge the natural order of life for love. In the end, Twelve's memories of Clara get wiped out when he is forced to sever ties with her. Clara remains dead and so does Eurydice. This makes these pairs star-crossed, as Ketu reminds us of the inevitability of loss and separation. With Mars there, it makes it an obvious theme with Ashwini nakshatra.

Orpheus tried to get Eurydice back after her death by seeking the realm of the dead as a mortal being. He finds the cave that led to Hades and slowly descended into the Underworld. He sang to Cerberus, a terrifying, three-headed monstrous watchdog, able to tame and charm the beast so that he enters. This theme of entering portals to other worlds and dimensions tends to be associated with Ketu, and I find it interesting that I am particularly seeing the magic within Ashwini nakshatra.

In the 2008 film Jumper, Ashwini Sun Hayden Christensen plays a young man who can teleport himself anywhere and everywhere due to a genetic anomaly. Regarding Doctor Who, the first female Doctor has indeed been played by an Ashwini native as well. And Ashwini Sun native Russell T Davies is the original showrunner & head writer of the 2005 revival of Doctor Who, starring Ashwini Sun David Tennant.

It is interesting that Ketu nakshatras also have this otherworldliness quality to them which is seen in having access to portals or dissociating into other realms. Although I have already explored this theme within the context of Anuradha nakshatra, there is still an undeniable nodal influence to it as I see these nakshatras frequently pop up in this genre of film.

Magha Sun Amy Adams' character in Enchanted falls into a well which is a portal to another world. In Alice in Wonderland (2010), Magha Moon and Swati Sun native Mia Wasikowska's character also falls into a portal to another world.

In the animation Caroline, Ashwini ASC and Shatabhisha Sun native Dakota Fanning voices a girl who finds a portal to another world. In 1953's Peter Pan, Ardra Sun Kathryn Beaumont voices Wendy who is taken to another magical world called Neverland by a boy named Peter Pan who's voiced by Shatabhisha Sun Bobby Driscoll. In 2003's Peter Pan live-action movie, Wendy is played by Ardra Moon Rachel Hurd-Wood, taken into this whole other reality of magic and wonder. In Hook (1991), adult Peter Pan is portrayed by Shatabhisha Moon and Swati ASC Robert Williams, the character a middle-aged lawyer from the modern world who returns to his magical origins. In the Korean drama Spice Up Our Love, Ashwini Moon Han Ji-hyun's character wakes up as the protagonist of the web novel she wrote. In the Korean drama W: Two Worlds Apart, Shatabhisha Sun Han Hyo-Joo gets sucked into a webtoon written by her father. There she falls in love with the protagonist who is played by Shatabhisha Moon Lee Jong-Suk, who gets gets sucked into her reality as well. In the Chinese drama Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, Mula Sun Esther Yu gets sucked into a video game novel as a supporting character. In The Wizard of Oz, Mula Moon and Ardra ASC Judy Garland plays a Kansas farm girl who is taken away in a tornado and ends up in the magical Land of Oz. In the series Emerald City, Ashwini Sun Adria Arjona is a Kansas nurse who is transported by a tornado to the Land of Oz. In the film Oz: The Great & Powerful, Ashwini Sun James Franco is a magician who is hurled away from Kansas into the wonderful land of Oz. In the 2013 animation Epic, Magha Moon Amanda Seyfried voices a young girl who finds herself transported into an alternate world and even falls in love with Ashwini Moon Josh Hutcherson's character (I highly recommend this film).

As Rahu is associated with illusions and exploring the foreign, we see this theme of escaping into simulations and dreamy worlds which one becomes absorbed in. This has been explored deeper within Swati nakshatra, which combines the arts and illusory tendencies of Rahu together.

The influence of the nodes often transcends the physical realm, embodying forces of spirituality, illusion and transformation together. But they both manifest differently in this theme. Rahu becomes absorbed in illusions (in form of the arts, simulations, imagination (ex. Peter Pan being the boy who is attached to Neverland because he never grows up — Neverland is an illusory place only found in the minds of children, this highlighting his attachment to illusions)); while Ketu tends to escape the material plane altogether, yearning transcendence and passing by realms to seek meaning and lessons.

In the film Meet Joe Black, Mula Sun Brad Pitt plays an otherworldly being who takes over the body of a man to experience Earth and be guided in the teachings & meaning of life. His very existence quite literally transcends time and space, which I relate to Ketu, as he is a mystery himself.

He is innately detached from human concerns like time, societal expectations, and permanence. But he falls in love with a human named Susan, who is also nodal-ruled, and his nature makes their connection doomed from the start. Susan is played by Mula Sun, Mula Moon native Claire Forlani. This making for another star-crossed pair because he can never fully participate in human life.

Going into the body-swapping trope, this calls to Rahu's desire to navigate a foreign perspective while Ketu seeks to transcend its rigid reality.

In the film Hot Chick (2002), Swati ASC Rachel McAdams plays a teenage girl who wakes up in the body of a 30-year-old male criminal played by Swati Sun and Ashwini Moon native Rob Schneider. In 1989's film Dream a Little Dream, an accident puts the consciousness of an elderly dream researcher played by Magha Moon Jason Robards into the body of a bratty teenager who is played by Mula Sun and Shatabhisha Moon native Corey Haim. Many more examples often include a Saturn nakshatra native as well, which I found very interesting. Hopefully I'll be circling back to that one day!

Rahu is thriving on the chaos of this trope since an entirely new identity is being explored (and lessons are learned as the social difference in one's gender, class, and even age tends to be highlighted for the ignorant one (Rahu essentially refining the native through this experience)).

The interaction of the nodes drive each other to a deeper understanding of life's illusions as it signifies letting go and refining oneself. In this little exploration, I got to understand that Ashwini is a romantic nakshatra which deals with loss and forced detachment due to Ketu. While Rahu nakshatras tend to be more romantic and igniting conflict in their pursuit of a love that's not right according to societal standards. This solidifies the image of the eternal chase of the dragon representing desire and detachment.

RAHU OBSERVATIONS

Rahu is the area of our lives where we are drunk. Things are blurry and we're stumbling around. Discernment and discrimination become difficult.

Simultaneously, the area of life where we focus a lot of mind power and where we have strong desires.

Rahu in the 1st house

One identifies strongly with the body. There may be a desire to dress in a body-revealing way. One's form and physical body can be very relevant to their career or life-path. The body may be very much in the public eye - desired, under-scrutiny - or both. Magnifies significantions of the rising sign.

Rahu in the 2nd house

Often make interesting/questionable choices in regards to food. Might take a while to feel full and satisfied. There can be a tendency for .. unique combinations of food 🤨 These native may also receive fame or recognition through food or cooking, for example via a cooking channel on youtube. Possible snack hoarders. Tend to dwell on others' choice of words, as well as their own.

Rahu in the 7th house

Might have a difficult time in identifying and choosing 'quality' romantic partners. Tendency to heavily romanticize relationships and fantasize. May 'settle' for a partner just for the sake of having one. Vivid sexual fantasies (depending on the nakshatra). Interest in foreign, 'exotic' partners, possibly outside of their own culture and background.

Hi guys!! So i wanted to start doing a thing for beginners where i explain certain aspects of astrology at a very surface level/introductory level to explain some of the questions yall have!

This part is talking about the nodes.

[thehowlersoul]

SUN + NORTH NODE = Aham Brahmasmi

”I have lived enough through illusions, I have seen myself in many forms. I have seen myself as the ocean, the sky and the wind and now I can proudly say I’m the absolute truth, I am what I am, the ultimate!” Blazing sun with the mysterious rahu is an enigmatic personality. One with the confusion within and radiating confidence with out. In their early days they suffer a lot about their identity, illusionary beliefs about themselves. It depends on the position of this conjunction taking place as to where the native will try to find their identity, for ex, It occurring in 9th causes the person to seek their identity through dharma, religion and philosophy. In 11th, through gains, friends. Various manifestations of this conjunction are:

Amplified Ambition and Drive: Rahu's presence intensifies the Sun's qualities, creating an insatiable desire for success, recognition, and authority. This person may have strong leadership qualities and the ability to attract attention.

Conflict Between Ego and Illusions: Rahu can cloud the clarity of the Sun, leading to confusion about one's identity or goals. There may be oscillation between material ambitions and inner dissatisfaction.

Creative and Strategic Mind: The Rohini influence tempers Rahu's and Sun's intensity, giving a creative, nurturing, or artistic outlet to the individual. The person may have a keen ability to strategize and manifest their desires, particularly in artistic or material pursuits.

Challenges

Overambition: The native might struggle with an unending desire for recognition, which can lead to burnout.

Illusions vs Reality: Rahu can distort the Sun’s clarity, creating false perceptions about success or self-worth.

The essence of AHAM BRAHMASMI:

A native with the maturity of this conjunction says I’m the drop of that ocean which is great. Immaturity would be I’m the greatest, nobody can transcend me. This conjunction makes the native to have questionable relationship with the father figure, so the native seeks to fill the void with external validation.

The Example that screams Sun Rahu conjunction is Ganesh Gaitonde from Sacred Games

Translation: Sometimes I feel like I’m the GOD!

Ganesh Gaitonde from Sacred Games is practically a Sun-Rahu poster child—that man is the archetype of someone born with a Sun-Rahu conjunction in full karmic blaze. Let's unpack this with the drama and depth he deserves:

1. Identity Obsession & Ego Trip (Sun = Ego, Rahu = Obsession):

Gaitonde is obsessed with being remembered, feared, worshipped—he wants to be more than a gangster. He wants to be immortal, a god-like figure who controls fate itself. That’s Sun-Rahu 101—a deep identity void that pushes someone to chase notoriety over authenticity.

“Kabhi kabhi lagta hai apun hi bhagwan hai.” (Sometimes I feel like I’m God.)

Literal Sun-Rahu delusion right there. Inflated ego meets spiritual confusion.

2. Daddy Issues & Power Complex (Sun = Father, Rahu = Shadow):

His deep-seated resentment towards his abusive father warps his masculine identity. Instead of integrating his wounds, he uses them to fuel a ruthless, hyper-masculine power image. Sun-Rahu natives often have:

Power struggles with authority

A need to "replace" the father

A tendency to project power instead of embodying it

His rise through the underworld is him trying to compensate for a powerless, neglected childhood. That’s textbook karmic Sun-Rahu trauma acting out in 4K.

3. Illusion of Greatness (Rahu = Illusion, Sun = Prestige):

Gaitonde becomes a king in a crumbling world. Even at his peak, he’s paranoid, disconnected, and empty. Why? Because Rahu can never be satisfied. It makes the Sun seek light in the external—money, fame, fear—not the inner self.

Sun-Rahu wants to be the sun, but ends up chasing mirages of power that never nourish the soul.

4. Spiritual Crisis & Identity Death:

By the end of his arc, Gaitonde is questioning what was real—was it religion, the guru, his destiny, or his delusions?

He literally walks the path of ego destruction (Sun-Rahu’s final lesson): He must see that he is not God, nor the villain—he is just a fragment of a larger design.

And in that, he dances on the edge of moksha and madness.

5. Shadow Side of the Hero Complex:

Sun-Rahu natives often carry a “chosen one” complex, thinking they are destined for a grand purpose. But if unevolved, they become:

Narcissistic

Manipulative

Morally blind in the name of legacy

Gaitonde sees himself as the savior and the punisher, not realizing both are projections of his own fragmented ego.

In Short: Gaitonde IS Sun-Rahu Energy in Action

Wounded identity

Craving for eternal relevance

Conflict with legacy, father, and God

Obsession with power and control

A long karmic arc leading toward either self-destruction or spiritual awakening

If he had evolved into the spiritual realization form of Sun-Rahu, he would have said:

“Aham Brahmasmi... but not because I control the world. Because I am part of it, and it of me.”

But well… Rahu doesn’t let go easy.

Understanding Your North and South Nodes: A Personal Interpretation

The North and South Nodes in astrology can feel like mysterious markers in your birth chart. There are countless interpretations out there, and I’ve come to a personal understanding that resonates with me more deeply than traditional views.

Common Interpretations of the Nodes Many believe that the South Node represents your past life or the things you’ve already mastered, while the North Node points toward your life purpose in this lifetime. Sure, I’m not here to argue with that. However, doesn’t this explanation seem a little vague?

My North Node and South Node Experience I have a North Node in Aries (1st house) and a South Node in Libra (7th house). According to most interpretations, I’m supposed to be a people pleaser, focused on relationships and partnerships—yet that doesn’t resonate with me at all. In fact, I’ve spent most of my life single, and I wouldn’t describe myself as a people pleaser. I’ve always been assertive and independent.

So, what’s really going on?

A New Approach to Interpreting the Nodes It wasn’t until I looked at the ruler of my North Node—Mars, which is in Taurus in my second house—that things started to make sense. I realized that my life purpose isn’t just about focusing on myself or learning to stop people-pleasing (because I’ve never been that person). For me, my purpose is rooted in financial stability and independence—something I’ve been working hard toward for as long as I can remember. That drive to achieve financial freedom is what pushes me to get out of bed each day. This realization felt far more aligned with my true self than anything I had read before.

The Key to Understanding Your Nodes What I’ve learned is this: to truly understand your North Node, check not just the sign but also its ruler and the house it occupies. This combination will give you a much clearer understanding of your life purpose.

The South Node: A Different Perspective On the flip side, I don’t believe the South Node is about past lives. Instead, I see it as the set of tools you’ve been given to achieve your life purpose. The South Node shows the traits, skills, and tendencies you can tap into as you move toward your North Node destiny.

This is just my interpretation, and it has helped me understand my own path more clearly. It’s not about leaving behind one part of yourself, but about using everything you have to move forward in alignment with your true purpose.

In the world of Vedic astrologers, there is a lot of remark about how in the age of the internet, rapid technological advancements, idols, overstimulation, 'fake news', and trend cycles as fast as lightning, we are living in times very influenced by nodal energy. Or at least, nodal (particularly Rahuvian) aspects of reality are increasingly 'in your face', accessible... If we take the concept of trends to be a very nodal phenomena for instance: throughout most of history, trends were not something you could observe so blatantly the way we do now.

A 'trend' was more likely to last an entire generation, and without the constant access to the past, present and future of the entire world that the internet now provides, you wouldn't even realise it's a trend. One would simply consider it 'normal'. People were not as aware of what the 'elites' are up to, what happens in other countries, mass information leakage etc. you are busy carrying your own burdens, and reaping your own joys, in your own bubble.

In older times, it's as simple as- the life you're born into is the life you focus on & work on UNLESS you are in a position of power (Solar energy) & therefore dealing more with the people at large & distant lands. Even still, your main focus is on your own kingdom/village/tribe. The average person is not going to really know what's going on in faraway places the way we now do. Sure, this nodal, constant consumption element of reality still existed, but it was less 'in your face'.

These days we have our 'black mirrors' (phones, laptops, etc) and they exist as a portal into- anywhere we desire. Lives & realities that don't even necessarily relate to our own. The need to be consciously aware of this is crucial in order to find the balance necessary.

Currently, everything is moving so fast, and there are constant forms of stimulation, movement, illusions and streams of consciousness to get lost in. So many rabbit holes to fall down without you even realising it that will drain & alienate you from your Solar energy.

Getting lost in trends and the lives of other people that in the physical realm, do not directly touch your own life, can be extremely draining to us. In an abstract way, this gives us insight into why it is that so many people feel depressed- lost, like the world is grey... there is constant fog, smoke & mirrors attempting to block our internal Sun, our personal unique destiny & divinity.

Ironically, I tend to think that the reason we're collectively so divided & lonely lately (there's many reasons, but in the way of esoteric takes), is the lack of Solar energy. People talk about how this society is missing the honouring of feminine (Lunar) energy, which is true- but only because of the lack of healthy Solar energy to support it.

I mean, a material manifestation of this is the.. beyond concerning (and somehow, rarely talked about?) statistics on the sperm count dropping. According to various scientific studies, we're looking at roughly a 50% decrease over 50 years... that's just- wow.

Another of many material manifestations of the way true Solar energy is becoming rarer/obscured: lately, the average suburban city is removing structures (Solar) & facilities people usually go to socialise and have fun- bars, clubs, cinemas, skate parks, venues hosting of events & festivals. Yes, the actual social aspect is more of a Lunar energy, but the Solar aspects (ie. the structures, the organised events, the provided food, etc) are the container for that Lunar energy to fall upon. For socialisation, intimacy, raw emotion & connection to exist healthily, we need some kind of structure, some Solar goodness to go off of so we're not just- floating entities in space talking to other floating entities in space about nothing in particular.

Yes, Solar energy speaks of individuality, paving your own path, ego, sense of self- but here's the thing. If we lack sense of self, how can we connect with people? How can we feel unity if there's no 'self' in the first place? How can we connect and share with people if we feel we have nothing to offer and we're all regurgitating the same stuff- there's no reason to talk or connect if everybody seems to be just.. lacking substance, robotic, or a void

Solar energy is our ego, our happiness, our light. It represents that substance. Someone speaking from a place of Solar light is tapping into a place of authenticity & experience, whereas when we are lost in nodal energies; we are moreso becoming a conduit for other people's ideas and thoughts we've heard about, forgetting our own footing in reality.

I feel like- no, I've seen- time and time again how this current society can delude us into believing that the way to leave your mark on the world & make the world a better place, is to get lost in others. To always be in the know, informed and on trend when it comes to everything outside of yourself. It feels like we are being taught that if we aren't carrying the weight of the whooole world on our shoulders, we are selfish or living under a rock.

On the one hand, it is definitely important that we have some sort of a spiritual awareness of what's going on in the lives of others (be it friends, relatives, or people in other countries) but on the other hand, this constant focus on other people takes away from you having the chance to make a true difference and BE a beacon of light.

Sometimes I see something dark on the news, very dark.. I'm in tears, I'm anxious, I'm asking the heavens why these things happen... how is it fair? I'm praying, I'm sucked in and can't look away from what I'm seeing because it feels like I have a duty to at least witness the suffering if others have to go through it. There have been times it's just debilitated me; until I realised something-

I am worth more to the world, the people suffering included, by focusing on fostering beauty, joy & goodness in my own life. I'm not helping the world by crying in my bed unable to feed or take care of myself because I'm distraught about something I saw on my phone. It's only impairing my ability to remain in a high vibrational state that I can create & share with the world from. People who truly make a difference are often the ones who either innately embody or have cultivated a very Solar nature- 'water off a ducks back'. It shouldn't be about ignoring or suppressing emotions, so much as using emotion wisely.

This doesn't mean it is best to completely ignore the world or be cold or 'heartless', but moreso that you need to be holding a torch for yourself in order to even begin to light the way for others. Those who are suffering generally do not want others to suffer for them (especially if they can't physically do anything to help)- that only creates... more suffering. I know in times of my own suffering, not once did I think 'damn, I wish someone was as sad and destitute as me' lol

I thought 'man, I really would love to be around people & circumstances that are positive, uplifting & nourishing so that I can feel that warmth again'.

If every single person in the world was utterly debilitated and absorbed in other realities, other people's lives, neglecting their own 'karma' & their own blessings, who would be there for people to look to for hope? Who would be the blueprint for what happiness actually looks like? In a world without strong, solar entities, who can those who are suffering look up to to imagine a better life?

Fill your own cup first!

Sometimes the best thing you can do for the world, is to manifest your own beautiful, magical, pure life- whatever that means for YOU. Build your own foundation so that you can be an inspiration & comfort for those who need it, while being stable and strong within your own being.

A lighthouse doesn't go out to sea and get into the storm with the ships. It doesn't go chasing the ships down to save them. It simply stays where it is, strong, radiating light and indiscriminate- unconcerned with who 'gets' the light. Trusting that the universe is working its magic and the right people are benefiting from your radiance. That is what staying true to yourself & your own unique destiny looks like.

I see too many people (myself included, but working on it..) with bleeding hearts. Completely lost and overwhelmed by the struggles, thoughts, opinions, beliefs & chaos of others, feeling as though they can't just sit and watch, they have to do something about it. Or if they can't do something about it, they have to at least feel it, delve into all that emotion. Instead of being the lighthouse and realising that nurturing yourself = raising the vibration of the world, which = one more person living in truth & happiness for others to look up to- they are missing that opportunity and becoming drained/psychologically in pain.

Do what makes you happy. It's so simple, yet so.. not! It's a skill, and it takes discipline & sometimes what feels like active rebellion in order to refrain from abandoning yourself and getting lost in something or someone else; whether that thing is positive or negative... 🌸

Very long story short - the most helpful gift you can give to the world, is your joy & faith in your own destiny.

To anyone who read all this, have a beautiful day and if you can, go do something fun lol, or create something ♡

note: I just want to make sure it's clear that I'm not saying nodes = bad & Sun = good or anything like that! Every planet, every celestial force plays an important role in life on Earth and the nodes have their own magic too. This post is just talking about the importance of staying in touch with your Solar light rather than getting completely and utterly lost in the pull of the nodes. I also want to add that of course sometimes there are unique occasions, where plunging into the darkness with somebody else is exactly what you need to do- but if that's the case, that'll be a part of your 'destiny', so even still you will be embodying your light if that makes sense. Never abandon your light.

jupiter square nodes

this highly mutable situation brings fated changes that are probably going to require quite an adjustment, but rest assured that as they play out they will turn out to be for the best. jupiter is not a malefic influence even in a hard square. just don't ask for too much or hoard things up - the appetite of both jupiter and the north node can cause some issues of excess. otherwise, walk and the path will appear.

delivered by an Ashwini Moon character, who is literally a cunning ruthless assassin disguised as an innocent clueless bride, speaking to another assassin in disguise as an unassuming bride... who is Mula Sun.

I fear I was onto something with that observation post. Because it's so glaringly obvious and in my face.

Yeah it's so long-winded but you gET THE IDEA RIGHT

More examples. Yes this wolf in disguise theme extends to Rahuvians too.

The North Node & The Choices You Make

The North Node paints a picture of our choices in life, especially when connecting these choices to one's destiny, your path in life. All choices have a cause and effect, but the North Node focuses on major decisions that pertain to your growth or your "soul's growth". I think you could somewhat compare it to something like a "canon" event or decisions.

Aries North Node may present challenges and choices revolving around identity and independence. The uncomfortable, risky, or scary decisions one may have to make tend to revolve around self-expression, bravery, and standing on one's own.

Taurus North Node involves making choices around and facing down paths of fear, jealousy, and possessiveness. Security is the key word for this placement. Temptation towards safety vs. their natural determination will be a common struggle.

Gemini North Node is going to face many questions and challenges revolving around truth and lies. Facing the truth about themselves may be the biggest challenge for this node. Their life-changing or "canon moment" choices tend to revolve around self-expression, opinions, and the information/knowledge they consume.

Cancer North Node may be confronted with large choices revolving around taking care of their needs vs. someone else's. They may also get stuck at crossroads involving suppressing their needs or emotions vs. tending to and expressing them.

Leo North Node may find they run into challenges or choices that either empower or disempower them. Their passion and integrity may be tested often. Following their heart doesn't always come easily, but it is a temptation, a call for them, maybe destiny.

Virgo North Node tends to run into the question of to help or intervene or to not? Humility vs. pride, following vs. leading, tolerance vs judgment, and even support vs. sabotage are themes that can exist for a NN in Virgo. They are after fulfillment, reward, validation, recognition, appreciation, but most of all a real cause to serve and be apart of.

Libra North Node cannot underestimate their choices in terms of relationships and the people they surround themselves with. Balance, equality, giving and receiving are major themes here. Their hardest choices may revolve around being part of a partnership or not.

Scorpio North Node tends to be pushed towards self-mastery in many ways. Some of their hardest choices in life are highly introspective such as setting boundaries and rules for the self, diving into secrets and the subconscious, as well as testing and breaking their own limitations.

Sagittarius North Node may have to make difficult choices about their beliefs. Choices, consequences, and different paths they may go on are highly dependent on the knowledge they seek or ignore. Their curiosity and thirst for more may present more questions than answers throughout their life.

Capricorn North Node will face tough decisions and choices based around authority - especially their own authority. Rebellion, self-reliance, mentoring or finding a mentor, and taking accountability may be highly uncomfortable or scary for them, but result in some of their biggest changes.

Aquarius North Node may be asked to make choices that increase their adaptability. They might be forced often to make quick decisions due to the unpredictability of life. Evolving their identity and/or ideals can be highly uncomfortable or strange to them, but they may be dealt cards that ask them of this over and over.

Pisces North Node may have to deal with some of the more abstract or vague choices out of all the nodes. Asked to make choices revolving around their spirituality and/or their connection to nature or other people. As they grow and go through life choosing to practice empathy, introspection, or sensitivity are brought up often.
