True Node in Cancer

With the North Node in Cancer (and the South Node in Capricorn), your growth direction is feeling, vulnerability, nurturing, and building a real emotional home. The familiar groove is the Capricorn past: control, duty, achievement, and managing life from behind a wall. The comfort zone pulls you toward status and self-sufficiency over closeness. The growth is letting yourself feel, need, and care, and tending your inner life as much as your goals. The work is choosing tenderness over the old armor of competence. At your best you become someone who can both achieve and feel.

Lean inLet yourself feel, need, and nurture, not just achieve.

Watch forRetreat into control and duty when vulnerability is called for.
