Positions
True Node in Aries
With the North Node in Aries (and the South Node in Libra), your growth direction is independence, courage, and healthy self-assertion. The familiar, over-relied groove is the Libra past: pleasing others, merging into relationships, and waiting for consensus before you move. The pull of the comfort zone is to keep deferring and accommodating. The growth is learning to want what you want and act on it without first checking that everyone approves. The work is doing the brave, self-directed thing even when no one is co-signing it. At your best you become someone who can finally stand on their own two feet.
Lean in — Act on your own desire without first needing everyone's approval.
Watch for — Default to pleasing and merging when courage is what is asked.
