What Is the North Node and What Does It Mean?

Your north node is the direction your soul is moving in this lifetime — not where you are comfortable, but where you are going. The qualities you are here to develop, the experiences you are here to have, the version of yourself you are here to grow into. Your south node, directly opposite, is where you came from — what comes naturally, what you default to under pressure, the comfort zone that feels like home but will not take you anywhere new. North node in Aries means you came from too much compromise and too much deferring to others, and you are here to develop independence, to initiate, to put yourself first without apologising for it. North node in Capricorn means you came from too much emotional dependence and rootedness, and you are here to build something in the world. The north node is the most uncomfortable placement to embody because it asks you to move away from what feels safe toward what feels like a stretch — but it is also the placement where the most meaning lives.
