North Node

The North Node is the position in your birth chart where the moon was located at the time of your birth. 

It is a symbol of karma that tells what we have been working on over the past years and what we need to continue working on this year. It indicates that you need to let go of something and that there are opportunities for growth and new beginnings in your life. 

Meaning of North Node in Astrology

North Node Rahu

The north node, also known as ‘Rahu’, is not a physical planet but affects other planets. It represents the past and future and gives us insight into what we will become in the next life.

It is the karmic lesson that represents your aim. If you are ready for change and growth, it’s time to let go of what no longer serves you so that you can get closer to who you are! It means your true self and soul objective that the world around you may have blocked out.

Significance of North Node in Astrology

The North Node is the symbol of your soul’s purpose or dharma. It is also known as the karmic node, representing where you are on the path to spiritual growth and enlightenment.

It hides behind other planets’ orbits and can be challenging to see that is why it is also called a planet in disguise. 

Because this planet signifies the ego or personality-driven self, when we don’t recognize our ego’s influence over us. We may be unable to achieve happiness or success in life.

It symbolizes that we often hide our true selves from others, which can lead us down an unfulfilling path.

North Node and South Node

North Node & South Node

North Node and South Node (also known as Dragon’s head and Tail- Rahu and Ketu) are the two points in the birth chart opposite each other. 

It represents your highest potential and can be described as who you would like to become. While the South Node represents your past identity and limitations.

It is known as “karma yoga,” which signifies change and growth through work on oneself. This area of life is where we need to focus our attention to move forward into a better future by releasing old habits and ways of thinking about ourselves and our lives (the past).

The south node is known as “yoga samsara” because it represents karma from past lives that we have yet to address.

It is related to your past experiences, habits and old patterns which need to be released from your life.

It represents what you need to learn and master presently in your life. While South Node represents what you’ve already learned but need to let go of now.

North Node Love Compatibility

Love Compatibility

People with a strong north node find a strong south node attractive. When these two people come together, it can be a beautiful thing. However, this is a good sign, if your love is one-sided and you’ve been waiting for someone else to feel the same way about you.

It’s time to let go of that dream if the person you’re trying to attract has an active south node themselves. If they don’t, then it might be time for some significant changes on their end before anything can take place between the two of you.

Marriage Compatibility

They’ll seek out external relationships outside and within marriage if they aren’t satisfied! While it may appear like no big deal at first glance because technically, nothing’s changed between partners yet.
