North Node in House 5
With your North Node House 5, you’re here to learn about self-expression and self-promotion in this lifetime. It’s about living from your heart-space and embracing the romance of being alive. The universe wants you to shine like a star, as corny as that may sound. You’re here to shine. Coming from an Aquarius or 11th house South Node, you didn’t learn these things in a past life, so they’re unfamiliar to you. In a past life you were more heady, aloof and maybe a little detached from feelings or passion. You came into this lifetime with those same energetics playing out. You can look at humanity from such a big-picture view, like a social scientist. You can see patterns, what needs to be improved, and you want to get involved with making progressive change. You’re happy to participate in a group and not really make anything about you. Because you can be way more head-centered than tender-hearted, you can miss out on deep romantic connection, creative expression and shining your own unique light into the world. In this lifetime, you get to lean into that. You get to make it about you. Leave the sidelines and take center stage. You don’t have to become a performer unless you want to of course. But you do have to learn to be okay with taking more starring roles, in whatever arena of your life that might apply. This north node gives you full permission and encouragement to build your confidence, self-promote, realize what makes you special and own it. Shine it. Your Aquarius or 11th house South Node comes with gifts. It’s ruled by Uranus, the planet of revolution, innovation and originality. This planet is inventive and it creates social change. That is the energy you have in spades. You can see the world we live in from a bird’s eye view, understanding social patterns and why things play out the way they do. You know social change is necessary, and you actively participate in it. This can be in actual organizing and activism, or in your own way in your personal life. Aquarius energy is very individual, it doesn’t try to stand out but it can’t help itself. It’s different and it embraces that. You just being you, dressing the way you do and carrying yourself the way you do, not trying to conform and fit the mould, contributes to social change in ways we could never measure.
While being more intentional about embodying your Leo or North Node in House 5, you won’t leave these Aquarius gifts behind. They just get transformed into a healthier expression. For example, in an imbalanced expression of your SN, you could be too emotionally detached, and too in your head. You could also be resistant to being a leader when really you’re the leader we’re all looking for. Stepping into Leo energy will naturally balance those types of south node behaviours. But you won’t lose your brilliant mind or humanitarian heart. You’ll always carry that with you, while learning how to live from your heart. Romance yourself and others. Get in touch with your inner child and the spirit of play. Lean into your passions - whatever it is that makes your heart light up. Build your self-confidence, own what makes you special and step into the spotlight when you get the opportunity. This North Node in House 5 gives you permission to self-promote and have more of an ego. Because you have that Aquarian foundation, you can get away with being a version of the Leo archetype that others won’t see as egotistical or cocky. The world needs you to step into your north node and creatively express every bit of yourself, in whatever ways light you up. You’ll find that you get the kind of freedom and contribution to social change your Aquarius SN craves the more you lean into your Leo.
North Node in House 5 indicates a past life dedicated to fulfilling wishes. Early in this incarnation, you revealed in your imagination and inventiveness, whiling away the hours daydreaming or losing yourself in fantasies. You are a mental traveller with a powerful dream life, and your challenge in this lifetime is to find the proper place for this. In an attempt to ground your energy, you may have tried to live vicariously through your friends, letting them act out your far-fetched fantasies. You had many friendships in past lifetimes, but you will find these are unfulfilling to you now. Perhaps no one is available to help when you really need it. Further, when you put group needs ahead of your own, you will lose every time. This is how the universe supports you in developing a strong sense of self. You were detached and wanted space in previous incarnations. Love may be hard to find, recognize, or keep in this lifetime since you have so little soul experience with it. It may come later in life once you’ve developed your sense of self. Intense one-on-one relationships are not comfortable for you, but you will find luck in any venture where you lead with your heart and involve yourself personally. Seek closeness and warmth with others. Embrace your intense creativity. Many of the most modern prolific artists share the North Node in House 5 placement with you, including Picasso, Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, Alfred Hitchcock, and Norman Rockwell, all known for their sustained ability to produce quality work. You, too, have such a drive. You may have difficulty dealing with your sexuality and blame childhood experiences for these issues. It is best to avoid such scapegoating since you are here to take responsibility for creating your own life. Further, sexuality per se is not the issue. As astrologers Bruno and Louise Huber explain of this node placement, sexuality is just one manifestation of a “direct, vital connection between one human being and another,” exactly what you incarnated to experience. Any time you attempt to come out of your dreams into the world of reality, you will find the support of the universe, for this is your task in this lifetime. As you take responsibility for the world you have created through your thoughts, you shape your own identity. You will see your dreams materialize, but you must own the process. For this reason, you should find good luck in the arts. Learn to be conscious of how you use your ability to wish things true. If you wish from lowly or base motives, you will find your fantasies materialize in perverse ways; you will have to live with their consequences longer than you ever imagined possible. Be sure your motives are pure.
Children are important figures in your spiritual development. North Node in House 5 often signifies an exceptionally close relationship with them. Angelina Jolie, famous for her brood of kids, was born with this placement. So was Mother Theresa. Watch the dreams of the children you know come true and understand the relationship of this to the passage of time. Wishing for the future should not mean a negation of the present moment. Ultimately, you must not be a follower of dreams but someone who is grounded in the here and now. Only when you are fully in the present can you begin to use your past life gift of “wish power” (as astrologer Martin Schulman calls it) to create a better future for yourself and others. Learn to be where you are and who you are under all circumstances. The more of an individual you become, the happier you will be.
