Hello Astroteacher! I was just reading your answer to
Liquid Green.(this is for you too!) Could it not also mean that she has to develop certain things regarding the 5th house? Where the North Node is, there we have enough expertise from a former life apparently, where the South Node is, we still have to learn a few things. I personally would interprete the Node as such. Maybe dealing with children, or also her own self-expression, could be difficult and has to be developed in this life. So in Liquid Green's case she has to balance out Personal pleasures (5th house) versus Shared Pleasures (11th), romance (difficult) versus friendship (easy), creative ambitions (difficult) vs. social or humanitarian ambitions. So with this South Node in the 5th she should try to fulfill dreams in a practical way,examine feelings about children, childrearing and procreation. Not using group priorities as an excuse for neglecting her personal goals, developing her own creativity.
In
Donna van Toen's book, she states:
A Gemini South Node could say to herself that her day-to-day activities dont leave her any time to dedicate to her hobbies. Usually doing a study is not very liked. Generally, a mental block prevents expansion (Sagitarius North Node). Possible reasons can be environmental restrictions which hindered learning, refusal to take chances, dislike of reading or distrust of any type of indirect communication or an upbringing that encouraged superficiality.
Possible solutions are: take interest in courses, Loosen stifling ties .
Observation: Gemini North Node relies on book learning to replace awareness,
with Gemini south Node the tables are turned. Knowledge remains at a very rudimentary level. There can be an "I read it in the Enquirer so it must be true" philosophy. Frequently, Gemini south node relies on rumors, gossip and small talk to form the basis of his or her knowledge College education is looked on with suspicion.
It is only when the Gemini South Node is suddenly thrust into a new environment or routine that he or she becomes aware that something is missing. At that point he or she can tap the -Sagittarius North Node's potential an dexpand his or her knowledge and understanding of the world.
I dont know how the aspects to the South Node are and how the rest of her chart looks, therefore take these explanations not as a definite thing.
I wouldnt focus too much on Nodes placements over fixed stars
I am glad you think this also. I dont use stars in natal astrology at all, just a few in horary and the POFortune. It is getting all too much and so irrelevant to the real basics. I have to say this over and over again. The basics are enough to work with and in the case of twins, we can look a bit further at Decanates and Dwads, things like that, but all those stars and points, even Lilith, I just dont look at. Chiron is difficult enough because there is still so little known about. It is all based on curiosity and as we know, that killed the cat!
Cheers, Starlink
