Astrology — North Node in Aries
North Node in Aries means a South Node in Libra: the life direction you are growing toward and the habits you are leaving. Meaning, gift, shadow, and how to find yours.
North Node in Aries points a life toward selfhood: learning to want openly, act first, and stand alone without apology. The South Node in Libra is the familiar place, where you already know how to accommodate, keep the peace and read the room for what other people need. The growth is not to stop caring about others; it is to stop disappearing inside them.

It feels selfish at first because Libra taught you that your needs come second. The direction is a healthy, direct will: knowing what you want and saying so.

Under stress you look for a partner to decide with, or against, and you lose time in the deliberation. The shadow is a life lived as someone’s other half.
