North Node in Cancer ♋︎

The North Node in Cancer in the natal chart is symbolic of a soul urge that is learning to accept the emotional side of yourself and others. You are opening yourself up to understanding your feelings, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, and letting go of control. Individuals with this placement often find themselves in life situations that give them the opportunity to express themselves freely. 

You may need to be very empathetic and open to accepting the emotional ups and downs of others and yourself. The point opposite the North Node, your South Node, is in Capricorn. This implies that you are learning to focus less on the goal or end results and draw your attention towards your needs. You are experiencing life from a perspective of vulnerability and therefore may need more time to rest, spend time with family, or wallow in your feelings. 

Your soul is being asked to honor the process of your intuition, urging you to develop your internal psychic and empathic response systems. The North Node in Cancer placement is there to give you confidence in creating your own sense of security. Your spiritual journey will feel very personal and subjective.
