The Secret Influence of Your North Node: How to Align with Your Life Purpose
Have you ever wondered what your true calling in life is? In astrology, the North Node plays a crucial role in revealing your soul's purpose and the path you are destined to follow.
The North Node in astrology represents your soul’s purpose or true calling in life. It is a point in your birth chart that guides you toward growth and evolution, contrasting with the South Node, which indicates past-life influences and comfort zones.
What is the North Node in Astrology?
The North Node, also known as the Dragon's Head, is an astrological point that signifies the lessons we are meant to learn in this lifetime. It is opposite the South Node, which holds the energies and habits from our past lives.
Unlike planets, the North Node is not a celestial body but a mathematical point where the moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic. Understanding its placement in your birth chart can reveal much about your potential growth areas.
