North Node Ruler Series: Interpreting Mars Through the Houses with North Node in Aries

This series is about each North Node ruler through the houses. When we're interpreting the planetary ruler of the North Node by house, we’re not overriding or redefining the house placement of the North Node itself. Instead, we’re adding an important layer of nuance: a kind of karmic subplot that can tell us where energy is overconcentrated or underdeveloped; where blocks, entanglements, or compulsions may emerge; where effort is needed in service of the North Node's goal; and how the North Node’s archetype can be activated.

The Gold in the Shadow of the South Node

When people first discover their South Node in astrology, they often treat it like a karmic diagnosis. It becomes a list of traits to unlearn, patterns to avoid, qualities to reject. The South Node gets cast as the villain in the story of the self.

But the truth is more complicated. And more compassionate.

What a Nodal Return or Nodal Reversal Means for Your Life Path

There are a handful of moments in life when the universe nudges you - hard - in the direction of your soul’s growth. These moments often coincide with what astrologers call the nodal return and nodal reversal: karmic checkpoints that test how far you’ve come, and whether you’re willing to grow further.

Why the North Node Is Not Your Destiny (And Why That Matters)

If you’ve ever heard someone say, “Your North Node is your destiny,” you’ve only been told part of the truth. Yes, the North Node points to the direction of your soul’s growth. But it is not a promise. It’s an invitation.

South vs. North: Your Comfort Zone vs. Your Calling

When people first learn about the Lunar Nodes in astrology, they often zero in on the North Node - the direction of growth, the soul’s learning edge. But to truly understand your path forward, you have to understand where you’re coming from.

What Are the Lunar Nodes in Astrology?

For those who sense there’s more to this life than what meets the eye, the Lunar Nodes offer one of astrology’s most profound tools for insight.

In fact, for many of us, the Nodes are where astrology gets personal.
