North Node

Your direction of growth in this life.

Definition

The North Node, also called the True Node or Rahu in Vedic astrology, is a mathematical point where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic moving north. It is not a planet, but it is treated as one of the most important points in the natal chart for understanding life direction.

In context

Astrologers read the North Node as the direction of growth for this lifetime, the unfamiliar territory the soul is moving toward. It is intentionally uncomfortable. The work of the North Node feels foreign and is precisely the work the chart is asking you to lean into. It is paired with the South Node on the opposite axis.
