The North and South Nodes of the Moon.
In a karmic sense, the Moon??s Nodes represent lessons to be learned in this Earthly incarnation. These lessons almost always have to do with the way we connect with others. That's why the Nodes are associated with patterns of relating, and the wisdom to be found within them is often the key to recognizing and healing patterns of relating which stand in the way of our happiness.

The Nodes are a pair. The North Node is always directly opposite the South Node. If you want to really understand them, it's wise to study the 12 signs as pairs of opposites— Aries/Libra, Taurus/Scorpio, and so on. Like the yin/yang symbol, each sign contains the shadow of its opposite. For example, every Aries has a secret wish to be loved and accepted, and every Libra has a —gotta be me?? side (or an angry side) that comes out no matter how nice she tries to be.

The South Node represents habit patterns from childhood or from past lives. These are comfortable patterns, but they often get in the way of you having the kinds of connections you want with other people. These are especially powerful if you have a planet conjunct the South Node in your chart.

The sign and house placement of the South Node tells where you have a tendency to totally overdo things. There is a longing there, a craving that is very strong. The nature of this longing is shown by the sign of the South Node. For example, in Taurus, the craving is for material security. In Leo, for recognition. In Gemini, for information.

The sign and house of the North Node represent circumstances and activities that usually feel unfamiliar. It's the —secret shadow?? of the South Node sign, and it's the key to getting that craving met. That's why the North node reveals an area of massive growth potential in your life. It's the key to getting energy flowing.

Sometimes in the astrological literature, you will see interpretations that color the North Node as all positive, and the South Node as all negative. Sometimes they suggest that you should strive to move —toward?? the North Node and shun the qualities represented by the sign of the South Node. (As if that were possible.) I do not think this is a constructive way to look at it. Your South Node indicates an area of longing, but also of massive talent and gifts. The trick is channeling those gifts properly.

Think of the North Node as the head, and the South Node as the stomach. The stomach has the hunger, but the head has the mouth. So you fulfill the desires of the South Node through the energy of the North Node. (http://www.north-node.com/astrology-tutorials/nodes).<BR>
I wonder how this affects Libras. What is your North Node? Also, what is your moon sign (represents your personality). Do you find the North Node/South Node Karmic Lessons to be true? How so?

GEMINI NORTH NODE — SAGITTARIUS SOUTH NODE — In the past, you have been a free spirit and have tended not to appreciate the points of view of others. You resist having any restrictions placed upon you, including marriage. You are forever trying to do too many things at one time. Spreading yourself so thin can result in having no clear central life theme. —Always [you] seem to miss the obvious, blissfully ignorant of the immediate circumstances around [you]?? and the impact that you might have on others. Now, you are learning to see both sides of every issue, to see life through the eyes of others. As you walk in the shoes of others, you will realize that all the seeming negative qualities in others are actually qualities that you have failed to recognize in yourself.

Your GEMINI NORTH NODE will lean you into developing skills in the art of communication. You want to fit into society and respect the rights of others. Your past lives brought you into a natural understanding of the universe. Now you want to share your knowledge with others. You are restless and have much ground to cover.
