Not many astrology enthusiasts are familiar with the Nodes of the Moon. So I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that you never heard of such a term.

But believe me when I say that this little secret is the most valuable gem that you will ever own in your life. So read slowly and pay attention. Your life is about to change.

The nodes (south and north node) are two points in an astrological chart that possess priceless information about one's karmic past and soul-destined future. Calculated by using the birth data of the individual, the nodes symbolize the unique life path that one is on and can answer many questions about his own, as well as his partner's, inner struggles and desires -- answers that can transform not only his relationship but his life.

Since there are twelve signs of the zodiac, there are also twelve unique nodal positions -- each pair of nodes (north and south) representing two opposite signs of the zodiac. For instance, an Aries Sign North Node is paired with a Libra Sign South Node because they are opposites. And because they are opposites, they create a clear picture of the dualistic struggle that reside within the Aries north node/Libra south node individual.

Sometimes this person isn't even aware of the war taking place inside of him -- a situation which could go on for years. Time passes as he's dumfounded by his inability to progress in life - professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. He doesn't understand why he keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again and continues to dwell in his past while he dreams of his future.

All of us have our own set of visible (or invisible) struggles to work through -- obstacles that the Nodes of the Moon can help isolate and resolve while simultaneously freeing us to move forward on our destined path. We all know that knowledge is power...and that's why I offer a bit of it to you...to give you the strength and courage you need to not only live, but to thrive.

I'd like to begin with a brief overview of the Aries North Node/Libra South Node position.

To start, let's take a look at some keywords. These words describe the polarity between these two opposing signs and can offer you a glimpse of the soul journey that the individual with this nodal position is on.

Just remember that the south node represents old patterns of being - patterns that have accumulated over lifetimes that now need to be acknowledged and let go of. The north node, on the other hand, represents the soul's potential - the direction of future...the behavioral habits that will lead to greater happiness...the kind of life that will be fulfilling on multiple levels.

Here are some Libra South Node Soul Pattern characteristics that this individual might no longer find useful, actually limiting, in this lifetime:

Ambivalence...superficiality...wishy-washiness...avoidance of conflict...fears of anger...over accommodation and compromise...passivity...status consciousness...insincerity.

Here are some Aries North Node Soul Potential energies that this individual could benefit from and find useful for living the kind of life he subconsciously desires:

Assertiveness...self-awareness...independence...spontaneity...action-driven...competitive...self-motivated...courageous...explorer...novelty-seeking...initiating.

The Libra south node individuals have spent lifetimes (past incarnations) sacrificing their own needs for those of others. They've taken care of people, equated their own happiness with the successes of those they've served, and were the mediators who always kept balance between opposing ideas, people, and conditions.

As a result, in this lifetime, they might feel frustrated because indecisiveness continues to rule their existence. No matter how much they try, they just can't seem to break away from the chains that have imprisoned them for so long.

But break free is what they must do. Because part of their soul mission in this life is to develop a true sense of self. They must learn to stand up for their own truth. The time has come for them to become an individual and let go of the need to be an extension of somebody else.

At times, their journey might feel a bit lonely and isolating...yet it's something that their soul wants (and needs) them to do. They must learn to be one in company of others...they must find the courage to tread unknown waters...and they must stay true to themselves. These are the greatest gifts that these individuals could give themselves.

The path might not always be easy. But then again, how could it be? Out of all the zodiac sign natives, the Aries north node individual has had the least amount of past-life experience examining himself. So of course, as with anything else that's new and unfamiliar, the idea of learning about himself feels like a daunting task. Yet it is a task that he must conquer with true Arian spirit if he is to live out the life that was created just for him.

Having said that, it might be a good idea to fill your (or your loved one's) life, which ever one of you has the north node in Aries, with as many symbolic representations of the Aries Sign that you can find. Surrounding yourself Aries sign colors, Aries sign fragrances, and Aries sign ornaments will remind you of the soul mission you're on and your unique path to fulfillment.

Now if it's your mate's north node that's in Aries, and you do that for your mate, well...that's about the greatest gift that you could ever give him/or her. Because there's nothing like the feeling one experiences when he realizes that he has found the person who really gets him -- a true friend...lover...and the irreplaceable soul companion he's been searching for his entire life.

...that soul companion that he sees in you!
