North Node in Aries – South Node in Libra – The Path of the Leader

The Lunar Karmic Nodes show, on the one hand, the experience of past lives, and on the other, the higher level that it is important to reach in this incarnation. The Ascending Node, also known as the North Node, Rahu, calls the soul to experience something new, while taking into account the accumulated knowledge and feelings along the line of the Descending, or South, Node, Ketu. There will always be a temptation to follow the old well-trodden path, but if there is a feeling that the same rake keeps painfully hitting the person on the forehead again and again, it means they are far from their karmic tasks.

The signs where the Nodes are located will show under what circumstances development will take place.

If the North Node is in Aries, the native will have to learn to be a leader and act not jointly with partners, as they are used to doing, but decisively, taking responsibility upon themselves, including responsibility for the well-being of others. Most importantly, they must not dissolve into other people’s opinions or look back at others’ judgment while following their dream.

Past Lives with the South Node in Libra

In a previous incarnation, the native was a diplomat and peacemaker, sometimes even to the detriment of their own interests, emotional comfort, and health. If they adapt to others again now, life will strike them painfully so that they finally learn to care for their own individuality.

In the past, the native sacrificed a great deal but did not receive a worthy reward. In many ways, this was also their own fault, because because of their refined nature, they simply could not demand anything for themselves, fearing that they would infringe on other people’s interests. In this reincarnation, there is a reliving of past grievances, when the best years of life, talents, and love were sacrificed, but those around them took it for granted.

This is especially acute for women who in a past life gave up marriage for love, fame, and the unfolding of their gift for the sake of a man. In this incarnation, there may be relationship problems in the form of unconscious protest and fear, or, on the contrary, a striving to please the chosen one again at any cost. Men know how to resolve conflicts peacefully, but in personal life they cannot make a decision if it will hurt another person, preferring to live between two families rather than reveal the truth.

Experience and Warnings of the South Node in Libra

At first glance, the useful and necessary ability to reconcile opposing sides, find compromise, and live in harmony with others is not so harmless. In the chart holder’s soul lives a painful need:

• for other people’s approval of their actions, without which they have no motivation to act;
• to constantly adapt to other people’s interests and desires at their own expense;
• for an external social mask of a kind and sweet person, without the right to anger, rage, or refusal.

The person wants to be liked by everyone and suffers greatly if someone criticizes them, says untrue things behind their back, or simply feels antipathy toward them. If Venus and the Moon are afflicted in the horoscope, the native falls into depression and is simply unable to act and achieve what they want until they are convinced that everyone is delighted with their plan.

The main problem is lack of confidence in their own rightness, as well as in the necessity of sacrificing their desires for someone else’s sake. Sometimes the person themselves does not understand why they act this way out of habit.

Purpose According to the North Node in Aries

The karmic task is to be a leader, actively express oneself, lead others, inspire, unite, and make people into one’s supporters, rather than becoming a member of someone else’s retinue. It is necessary to choose the path of the hero and follow it toward desired goals, while not forgetting the karma of the South Node in Libra: intentions must be ethical and must not harm people or the world.

This is where the trap lies, because if the native dreams of becoming first in sports, business, or politics, they will inevitably infringe on someone else’s interests. That is why holders of the North Node in Aries are afraid of first places in school olympiads and competitions, feel guilty if they were admitted to an institute while their friends failed, and prefer the safe middle ground.

It is important to remember that harm means intentional meanness, not an honest victory achieved through one’s personal talents.

Loss of initiative, decisiveness, and courage affects quality of life, activates the habit of making do with little, and undermines health.

How to Fulfill the Tasks of the North Node in Aries – South Node in Libra

The person must not hide behind someone else’s back, but for this they need to allow themselves to make mistakes while making independent decisions. The ruler of Aries is Mars, so it needs to be strengthened according to its placement in a particular sign. If the red planet is in the fire element, it will be easier to follow Rahu’s call. It is much more difficult for holders of Mars in water and air signs; here they will have to work with a psychologist and also activate the necessary energy through specific actions:

• practice martial arts; aikido is ideal, because it uses the opponent’s own attacking force against them, which corresponds to the astrological principle of the Aries – Libra axis, as well as non-team sports where victory goes to the most deserving person: karate, tennis, fencing;
• openly and without embarrassment declare their desires, show initiative, answer questions first, put themselves forward for leadership, and speak boldly with superiors;
• draw inspiration from other people’s heroic deeds through adventure novels and films, choose a role model, and follow it;
• regularly consume hot food and drinks, spices, and hot pepper, if there are no medical contraindications, and wear red clothing, if Mars is not afflicted by many negative aspects.
