North (South) Node – Venus Square – Reassessment of Values

The Lunar Nodes are karmic indicators. They are like two scales: the first, the Descending South Node, shows where there is already enough knowledge, experience, and also mistakes and abuses of power, while the second, the Ascending North Node, is a sign of future achievements. Developing through it is more difficult, but the person is initially given the resources for this. A square between the Nodes and a personal planet requires detailed working through. This is a sign of a conflict stretching from the depths of past incarnations.

Venus is responsible not only for relationships with the opposite sex, but also for freedom of choice, charisma, the value system, and material prosperity. Without working through the aspect, the native suffers from constant problems in these spheres: they are rejected, lose money, agonizingly choose between two or three options, and still make the wrong choice in the end. It seems that the world obstructs them in everything, but this is a reflection of their prolonged inner conflict.

The Karma of Venus Square the Ascending (Descending) Nodes

This aspect symbolizes an obstacle on the path of the native’s spiritual development in the form of an incorrect understanding of their role in relationships with the surrounding world. The person brought this burden from past incarnations, so from childhood it is difficult for them to get along with both relatives and peers. They either exalt themselves to the skies or grovel, trying to earn love.

Venus square the Ascending Node means that in a past life the native was excessively proud of their beauty, large number of admirers, money, or talents, considering themselves better than others. The desire to get what they wanted by any means, even if this required sacrificing someone else’s interests, led women to steal husbands from their friends, men to seduce the wives of friends, not to mention dishonest competition in business and creativity. In this incarnation, the native will have to develop spiritually and live according to a new system of morality.

Venus square the Descending Node is a sign that in previous incarnations the native lived for a long time within an incorrect system of coordinates. They allowed others to love them, while they themselves did whatever they wanted, ignoring other people’s feelings. They experienced deep disappointment in marriage and relationships, or became oversaturated with other people’s adoration and subconsciously searched for new ways of relating and becoming rich, including vicious ones. Similar scenarios may also have occurred in the lives of the native’s ancestors, which also requires rethinking through the transformation of their personal destiny; otherwise, problems with marriage partners and money will not stop.

Problems of Venus Square the Ascending (Descending) Nodes

Men and women with this aspect may be physically beautiful, yet cause unexplained irritation and dislike in others. It is as though charm and magnetism are completely absent. The main problem is that they passionately want to be rich and famous, to be admired and loved, but they cannot obtain this. Some bend over backward to become an ideal of beauty and financial success, a social media or show-business star, or the best salesperson in the department.

This is the trap: they rely on external Venusian qualities, forgetting that Venus is first and foremost a symbol of the energy of love, a passionate desire to live and create, and a source of light and warmth in the heart and soul. Without this, the problems repeat. For example, if the native begins speaking at the same time as someone else, the other person is listened to, while the native swallows bitter words of resentment because they are pushed into the background. Most often, in a group, the person feels unnecessary or like a black sheep, and it seems to them that everyone is looking at them and laughing.

Such people take an agonizingly long time choosing clothes and, after going through many pairs of trousers or dresses, leave with nothing. They lack inner instinct and taste, their intuition and sensuality are weakly developed, and sometimes they flirt in an excessively theatrical way without paying attention to the inappropriate setting, or take selfies at the funerals of celebrities just to become famous somehow.

Of course, much depends on additional aspects, but almost always women do not understand how to behave in relationships with men, turning from an arrogant shrew into a weak-willed dependent victim and back again, which confuses the partner. Men are often true philophobes who avoid serious relationships, or they do not understand at all how to behave with women, either despising them or, conversely, ingratiating themselves and trying to please. Holders of this aspect cannot find a balance between the passions in their soul and self-expression on the external plane.

How to Work Through Venus Square the Ascending (Descending) Node

Since the aspect most often means that in a past life the native somehow lost material well-being and love, in this reality they must first pay attention to these themes, gaining as much knowledge as possible in the areas of relationships and finance, and working through fears and complexes with a psychologist.

The main problem is codependency and insecurity, as well as excessive earthbound thinking, when only the material is placed first. By expanding the horizons of knowledge in the field of spirituality and religion, the person attracts new, fresh energies for drawing love into life.

The native must not cling to the partner or blame them for every problem. They themselves need to become a source of light and remember that Venus square either Node does not prevent talents from being revealed. It is very important first to gain confidence by achieving success in the matters of the House and sign where the Descending Node is located, and on this basis to create a value system suitable for the sphere of the Ascending Node. The main thing is that it must correspond to the person’s moral code.  ✓
