Reversed Nodes in Signs and Houses
Reversed Nodes in Signs and Houses
How do you understand your Nodes when the direction they are pointing to by SIGN, is the opposite of the direction they?re pointing to by HOUSE? Good question! The short answer is that the SIGN describes the kind of behavior and attitude that is optimal to use, and the HOUSE describes the particular area of life?of ?where??this behavior and attitude is going to find its greatest impact. And, it?s important to realize that the Nodes are always on a polar axis with the signs and houses always opposite each other?so when there's a sign/house reversal, it calls for a more subtle understanding of the dynamic. People and charts are complex, and sometimes paradoxical!
I wrote a post on North Node Capricorn and here?s someone who replied to having a reversal in their chart?he has the North Node in Capricorn but in the 4th house, Capricorn?s opposite sign naturally, with the South Node in the 10th house, which normally rules its opposite sign---as he says:
?This is all fine and good, but what happens when you have this placement with a North Node Capricorn!!!! It turns everything inside out. What do I do?? (He has the South Node in the 10th house, North Node in 4th house.)
So with a North Node Capricorn he is called to act on all the high Saturnian qualities of good integrity, and patient, step by step, goal oriented behavior. He?s called to move away from the ?lower octave? description of his South Node in Cancer---i.e. moving away from fluctuating, moody and fearful Cancerian qualities:(?nobody cares to understand me and I think I?m running out of money.?) It?s a call to accessing the highest qualities of the SIGN?in this case, Capricorn?but in the realm of the 4th HOUSE of life: which is the family of origin, the way we see and frame the story of our life (our personal mythology), and all that has to do with the 3 H?s: home, heart, and hearth. So somewhere in that area of his life, he?s called upon to be a guiding person of integrity; the one who sets the goals and integrity of the home, who moves patiently to set realistic goals within the family for himself and others?..and the one who can frame his life story in terms of what was actually done, in spite of difficulties and outcome.
We know that following the description of the North Node sign is good medicine, and a great idea for all of us. When we succeed at ?doing our North Node? it?s the kind of thing we remember on our deathbed. In this case we have this confusion: the sign is descriptive of what we?re talking about, and the house describes where in life the dynamic is likely to happen. Always we look to the SIGN first as being the most important thing to consider, and the HOUSE placement next, because the house system is the weak link in astrology. We may have our birth time inaccurate (which sets the houses) or we may use different house systems according to our astrological beliefs. So trust the SIGN first!
