Look at Saturn and the north node
Saturn restricts or creates obstacles based the sign, house and aspects it makes. Due to these restrictions, we overcompensate or work very hard to overcome the difficulties. Saturn does not accept easy shortcuts and expects one to put in the hard-work. We have to learn all the lessons and advance through all the levels before we become masters.
I wish to know what in the chart indicates a individuals life lessons?
True node, the ascendent and the sun?
Maybe if an individual has a stellium in their chart that can indicate it.
Thank you
EDIT: thanks and also Saturn
Your north node shows where your growth lies.
Your MC shows your vocation in life (which may or may not relate to your occupation. Check also the planet ruling your MC's sign.)
Your pre-natal lunar eclipse shows what you are on the planet to learn. Its position will be similar to your nodal axis, but could be in a different sign and house. You can locate your pre-natal lunar eclipse on the Astrodienst www.astro.com free charts section-- just scroll down the list of additional data points.
Oooh thanks for the link. Very useful
Is vocational not the same as occupational - what’s the difference
Thank you very much all your your input and insights.
A north node in Aquarius would indicate someone to be people orientated, be service to the people, not to be self-centred.
And a libra sun and saturn could indicate they need to know how to co-operate, learn to give and take, learn how to be in harmony with people.
The opposite to that then, Leo north node need to be about themselves? Even in Aquarius house -11th?
hkk,
You asked:
The house of the North node indicates WHERE you need to focus in your life and the sign the North node is in indicates HOW you go about doing that. Leo North node in the 11th house indicates this person needs to focus on developing social connection and is probably interested in humanitarian things. The Leo North node indicates they go about creating this social/humanitarian focus by expressing themselves in some way.
Explaining,
Tim

Right, Osamenor.
The word "vocation" has the same root as our word "voice." From its Latin origins we get the sense of a "calling."
Amit, look at the location of the planetary ruler of the MC. If it's in the 5th house, for example, one's calling in life might have to do with raising children-- or with some kind of recreational pursuit. The 5th house rules both. If the ruler of the MC is in the 9th, someone might be drawn to study philosophy or become a long-haul world traveler.
Some people do express their vocation through their career or occupation (10th house, possibly 6th house) but some people have other callings in life.
With the MC as the sun's highest point in the sky, this also gives the meaning of the MC as what you are known for in a public way, even by people who don't know you personally. Any type of honour for a distinguished career or noteworthy action belongs here.
Horoscopic astrology developed during historical periods when well-off land owners didn't have to work. So the MC question was more about some kind of fame or honor they might recieve, like a prestigious political appointment.

How the 5th house became lumped in with children and recreational pursuits is beyond me. Because children are the opposite of fun and pleasurable. Making them however
So e.g. my MC is cancer. My moon- planetary ruler of MC is in 11th house leo and my birth node in leo is in 11th.
Does this then mean my vocation -life’s calling and my occupation is the same or should be the same as my north node and planetary ruler is all connected?
Not necessarily. As you say, there are connections between them, but your occupation could be something that manifests this Leo/Moon/eleventh house theme in a different way from the way Leo/eleventh house shows up in your personal growth.
