Astrology
Freud?s North Node Aries was in the 6th house, suggesting that he was called to be both devoted to his work and to the needs of his physical body. Whether he was a hypochondriac or in as much physical pain as he said he was, was not as important as the need he had to attend to his body as well as his Work. Many people would say Freud had psychosomatic illnesses and a cocaine addiction, yet despite this, few people would discount the great work that he pioneered in his life. It?s worthwhile to remember that we should never be too judgmental about another person?s success or lack of success in reaching their North Node aspirations. We all fail and succeed in varying degrees.

Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud--Similarities in their Astrological Charts
Psychological ground-breakers Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung both had similarities in their astrological charts--they each had an Aries North Node, and a South Node in Libra. Each of these men embodied the Aries pioneering spirit that broke new ground in the world of psychology. With South Nodes in Libra, they were called to break away from the limitations of partnerships and relationships?even with each other?and to reach for the self-directed, independent qualities of Aries.
Jung?s North Node was in the 2ndhouse of self-worth, suggesting how important it was for him to produce a body of work that would prove himself to himself. With his South Node in the 8thhouse of other people?s values, he needed to let go of the approval of others, and acquire the self-confidence one gets by defining oneself in one?s own terms. Jung?s break with Freud at his Uranus Opposition (around age forty) was extremely traumatic for Jung and precipitated his short but intense psychological breakdown. In later years, Jung?s independence and disregard for other?s opinions, allowed him to have intimate relationships with many people, and to explore the taboo subjects of alchemy and astrology.
Freud?s North Node Aries was in the 6th house, suggesting that he was called to be both devoted to his work and to the needs of his physical body. Whether he was a hypochondriac or in as much physical pain as he said he was, was not as important as the need he had to attend to his body as well as his Work. Many people would say Freud had psychosomatic illnesses and a cocaine addiction, yet despite this, few people would discount the great work that he pioneered in his life.
