Explore the lessons of your past and the potential of your future through the South and North Nodes in astrology. Learn how to align with your growth path and life purpose.
There are parts of ourselves that feel like second nature.
Traits we do not question.
Ways of being so deeply woven into us that we assume they are who we truly are.
But in astrology, the South and North Nodes remind us that some parts of us are inherited.
They come from past lives, childhood patterns, or generational memory.
They are familiar—but not always where our growth lives.
The South Node: Where You Come From
The South Node shows us what we already know.
It is comfort, memory, instinct.
It is what we fall back on when we are not stretching.
The North Node: Where You Are Going
The North Node is what we are here to learn.
It is unfamiliar. Uncomfortable at times.
But it holds the keys to our expansion.
Together, these two points create a personal map:
A story of where you have been and where your soul is gently trying to go.
My South Node in Leo
I have always known how to stand out.
To create, to express, to lead from the heart.
Leo energy carries warmth, visibility, and personal power.
I am naturally drawn to being seen, pouring love into what I do, giving and receiving affection.
But the North Node is always calling us somewhere deeper.
My North Node in Aquarius
The call is about community.
About using my gifts not just for my own shine, but to light up others.
To detach from the need for applause and move into service, innovation, and shared vision.
It is about being part of something bigger than me.
This does not mean dimming my light.
It means learning how to share it in ways that uplift the whole.
My Mum’s Nodes: South in Cancer, North in Capricorn
She came into this life already knowing how to nurture.
How to love deeply. How to protect, tend, and feel.
But life invites her to create structure.
To take herself seriously.
To build boundaries and become her own root system.
To turn emotional strength into something stable and lasting.
She is learning that love does not always mean holding.
Sometimes it means leading.
What Do Your Nodes Say About You?
You can find your own nodes using your full birth chart.
They are always in opposite signs:
- The South Node is where you are coming from.
- The North Node is where your soul is trying to go.
Here is a soft guide to explore your placement:

A Final Reflection
Your South Node is not a flaw.
It is a gift—one you have already opened.
The North Node is the lesson you came here to learn.
It may feel unfamiliar.
But it is where your soul finds strength—not by force, but by unfolding.
So if you feel a tug toward something new,
If you feel called out of your comfort zone,
That may be your soul saying: Yes.
