One person is overdoing the Libra need to merge with another the other person is overdoing the Aries need for self-assertion and personal freedom. They will overdo it! With the Aries/Libra example, if an individual identifies with the Libra end ("I want a relationship"), they may repeatedly attract "free souls" who won't commit, married people who aren't available or self-centered individuals unwilling to make the compromises necessary in a healthy relationship. The problem is, if we express only one side of a polarity, the people we attract are likely to express the opposite in excess. That is, they are unconsciously attracted to people who will live out the qualities symbolized by that opposite Node. Path Two: Some people identify with one Node and "project" the other Node. ![]() Typically, people with each Nodal polarity have had some past lifetimes living out one extreme and other lifetimes living out the opposite extreme. Then they start to get lonely again and repeat the cycle. Once they're involved, they start to feel trapped, hemmed in and eventually leave. They get lonely, want a relationship and get involved. For example, with the Nodes across Aries/Libra (or 1st house/7th house), some people vacillate between being alone and being together. Path One: Some people experience the Nodes as a seesaw: They swing from one extreme to the other. Most of us try the first two paths before discovering the third. There are three major paths people take in coping with the emotional residues of the Nodes. (Once integrated, the Nodes show potential sustenance and support-what "feeds" us.) People who "push our emotional buttons" often have Nodal connections between our horoscope and theirs. Old insecurities are depicted here - ways in which we seek safety and try to protect ourselves and others. They point to ingrained patterns that we tend to repeat over and over again. They are keys particularly to emotional residues which we have carried forward from past lifetimes. Relating back to the Moon, the Nodes symbolize strong emotions. ![]() As such, they define important polarities in our lives: present lives and past lives. The two Nodes are always directly opposite one another (180 degrees apart) across the zodiac. The North Node's position is based on the Moon moving into north declination (above the celestial equator) while the South Node's position is based on the Moon moving into south declination (below the celestial equator). The Nodes are defined by the intersections of the Moon's orbit with the Earth's orbit.
