You’re being lied to about the Nodes.
Most people think the North Node is “your destiny” and the South Node is “your past.”
That’s a children’s book version.
The truth is far stranger and more unsettling:

The truth is far stranger and more unsettling:
The Nodes are not planets. They are shadows.
They are where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s path.
That’s why eclipses happen there.
They are cosmic glitch points, doorways where fate interrupts free will.

The North Node is hunger. It is what you can never get enough of.
It is the endless appetite of the soul. You chase it, but it always demands more. It is never satisfied.

The South Node is exhaustion. It is where you’ve been, lifetime after lifetime.
You carry instinct, mastery, and trauma here. It feels safe because it is familiar, but safety here is decay.

To say the North Node is “destiny” is misleading. It is addiction to growth. It is compulsion.
You don’t move toward it because you’re enlightened. You move toward it because life leaves you no choice.
You don’t move toward it because you’re enlightened. You move toward it because life leaves you no choice.
To say the South Node is only “the past” is also misleading. It is present comfort. It’s where you hide when you’re tired. It’s the old software running in the background, consuming your energy.
Together, the Nodes are a dragon. The North Node devours. The South Node excretes. Every 18 years, the dragon flips, and your karmic script turns inside out. These are your real “life resets.”
Look back at your life every 18–19 years. 2006–2007. 1987–1988. 1968–1969. Each time the dragon returned, you shed a skin. That’s not coincidence. That’s the Moon’s shadow rewriting your timeline.
The Nodes don’t care about comfort or balance. They care about circulation. Life is forced to move. If you stay too long in the South Node, you rot. If you run too blindly into the North Node, you burn.
The work is not to “leave” the South Node. It’s to strip it of its poison and carry its wisdom. The work is not to “arrive” at the North Node. It’s to learn how to digest what you consume.
This is why eclipse seasons feel like chaos. They are the moments when the dragon opens its mouth and demands a new offering. You can resist. But you will still be eaten.
The Nodes are not your destiny. They are the hunger that shapes your destiny. The sooner you stop romanticizing them, the sooner you can live consciously with the shadow dragon that drives your life.
