North Node in Aquarius

How ironic that this popped up! I have been studying about north node all day mine is in the 7th house. Anyone have experience with north node in Aquarius? Are you supposed to completely abandon your south node or is it a balance?
Yes I do
I am aquarius too but mine is in the 5th so it’s very mixed.

You are supposed to embrace your north node to be truly happy, so it is a learning process and learning to fight your south node.
It's weird because I feel like I use both . I'm an actress/performer which I am very good at and is second nature to me and has been ever since I was a baby but I am also very easy to confide in for as long as I can remember family, friends, co workers and complete strangers would just confide in me the most intimate of things and I talk it out with them. I am always there for the people in my life as well but I feel like maybe I'm not doing enough but I'm just Joyner sure where to take it. I had though about opening a dance studio with affordable prices for people in general but mostly young women who have endured trauma to pair up counseling with performance as a form of healing art, but I'm not sure how it would be received in the community and you have to have participants to keep something going
Aqua 3rd house. Interesting.

Aquarius North Node in the 3rd: Here we see a path which, ideally, is spent communicating some grand master plan that will help solve humanity’s ills. Aquarius North Node in combination with the 3rd broadcasts a message, not just to its ‘brothers’ within its immediate family, but to the ‘brotherhood of man,’ (which one can only hope includes women, children, the elderly, the infirm, etc., etc.).

Any house with Aquarius involved is going to ask the native to be involved (often unwillingly, at first) with the ‘masses’, in that Aquarius takes as its task in life the ‘greater good’ of the nameless, faceless masses as her concern. In the 3rd house, although at the lowest level, one would expect to see an Aquarian North Node busybody chatterbox gossip who thinks everybody’s business is her business, the highest level of involvement has to be trying to get the message out that the oceans are filled with churning piles of plastic crap, or that we’re destroying the environment with coal dust, or that small children are bought and sold each day in countries a lot of people can’t find on a map.

Aquarius takes as its task global concerns, when it’s not caught up in the daily round of 3rd house trivia (and this can be, sadly, a trivial house, concerned with the largely insignificant tasks of returning emails and phone calls). But, you know, we can’t get away with criticizing those connections, especially these days, when keeping in touch is of such heightened interest, particularly in an online world. The dark side of Aquarius, though, is, pure and simply, ego.

The regular, run of the mill Aquarius can be counted on to declare, absolutely unconsciously, somewhere in the time you know him, that he has “no ego,” as though that were possible. Everyone has an ego. Aquarius is literally no different from anyone, which they are otherwise happy to agree to, unless they’re being criticized, in which case everyone has an ego except them.

In this case, the 9th house South Node in Leo gets to carry that shadow. Look to see if the person has any planets either conjuncting or otherwise aspecting the South Node, because the South Node can function like a vortex of negative energy, which in this case is based on the complicated ego-needs of a puffed up Leo whose beliefs are often of a grand master plan involving his control, and your obedience.

Now, that’s the worst-case scenario; most of the time, none of this potential is out in the open, thank the maker, and you won’t ever know the secret 9th house grandiosity of the South Node rearing its ugly head on a bad day. But if you get ahold of a mogul-in-the-making, check out the state of the person’s 9th house, particularly when Leo’s involved, because it’s always possible that the things that ought to be happening in the 9th, like higher learning and having a larger life goal and philosophy, got warped or twisted a bit when the South Node has taken up residence.

The South Node in Leo has the potential to hold the Aquarius North Node back due to certain fantasies that won’t come true, particularly if the Leo South Node seeks acclaim for work he hasn’t accomplished or isn’t capable of. However, most of the time, the person is entirely ‘normal’ and just wants to get along with his fellow-man and call everyone he knows his ‘brother,’ because that’s what Aquarius North Node aspires to, being one with humanity.

To do that, he has to honestly care about humanity, so you’re going to have to check out the rest of the chart and see if caring about humanity is supported. If it is, North Node in Aquarius in the 3rd has the potential to be a humanitarian, a philanthropist, or perhaps even a politician who actually means it when she says she intends to make a change in the world, because Leo South Node in the 9th can be highly idealistic, noble, and sincere.

With Aquarius on the North Node, my hope is that this person is truly aware of that potential for the need to be an ‘entertainer’ inherent in this axis, and is control of it, rather than letting it control him. Otherwise, you’re likely to see a rather empty display of wit here with no particular substance to back it up, as Aquarius North Node tries again and again to gain acceptance from the small circle around him, hoping for the approval the South Node in Leo so desperately wants.

I'm a special case since mine is in the 5th but yeah for me it's about balance.

Reflecting on my life it seems like I can only cater to my north node by catering or exhibiting the traits of the south node as well.

For a large portion of my life I ignored the south node and how it's power to relate to the world.

The result was an isolation that made it next to impossible to effectively fight for its causes and to embrace it.

In conclusion I'd say the key is to embrace both and reach a state of unification.


Yes, I agree that for us with Aquarius in 5th is about balancing both.

I think it is unique in ours. Most people just have to move in the direction of the north node. It makes it a bit more complicated to understand it but I think is good to have this two signs to work with.
