I find the North Node and Chiron of particular interest. 

The North Node is where you will be challenged to grow and expand.  It will show you the challenges you will face and the qualities of character you will need to develop for success and fulfillment in this lifetime.

The South Node is where you have come from; where you will fall back to when you feel out of your comfort zone; a good place to hide when the going gets difficult.  Learned reactionary behavioral patterns spring from your South Node as you react to circumstances rather than make conscious choices .

About the Chiron wound…..
Each of us has within us, more or less buried in our psyches, perceptions of events, circumstances, issues and people that we feel were more painful to us than not, that were not fair, that were wrong that needed to be fixed, healed rectified or redressed.  The sum total of these are called ‘the wound’.  The wound drives you in your life to find what you think is missing.  What you think needs healing in your life, drives you to heal it.  What you think needs rectifying, fixing or bringing to justice, drives you to rectify, fix or bring it to justice.  The Wound therefore drives you towards becoming what you have been divinely designed to become. e.g. the child who felt stupid in youth, becomes the one who seeks knowledge as an adult and excels;  the child who was abused becomes the reformer or social worker.

Our wounds contain a gift… The healing journey is also a gradual process of forgiving accepting and finally unconditionally loving the circumstances of your life that contributed to your becoming who you are today.  The final step in this journey back to Love is the realization that everything in your life was perfect as it was for you.  There was a Master Plan.  The Universe did not desert you.  You just did not realize the form of its Love for you.  Chiron’s message is that there is a gift in every wound form the past.  The healing journey is seeing that blessing that your wound has brought into your life. 

Putting it into as simple terms as possible…
When I was at Source between incarnations, I pondered what experience I would like to have next.

I decide to choose experience “Forgiveness” or maybe “Self Reliance”.  Then I looked around for a family, culture, environment and whatever other circumstances would enhance and help me achieve my chosen experience.

I birthed myself into that place and time, only to find that the density of matter fogged my higher memory and clogged the energy flow.  I cannot connect with the essence of who I am and what I came for.  I have a sense of loss and misplacement.

Now I see myself as stuck, often in a family I do not resonate with.  Stuck in a situation and wondering why others are so inconsiderate of me. I may feel wounded and alone for many years.  Chiron can heal the wound and the North Node can help you remember your purpose. 

Recently I was explaining to a friend the North Node of her daughter.  It was like I was reading her life story.  My friend said she finally understood her daughter which gave her a sense of personal freedom and great peace. 

My North Node is in Gemini.

Just a few things my North Node can tell me......
Learning about Righteousness..
In the past…... I was the absolute authority on truth.

Now..….I need to listen more than I talk.  Listen to others point of view and value their ideas.  I need to have two way conversations, not monologues and realize that I don’t know everything

Learning about Sociability and Tact…
In the past….... I didn’t have a lot of interaction with others.  I spoke directly and spontaneously.

Now…..I need to establish a rapport with others before I speak my mind, because a brusque approach can alienate those who may otherwise like me and listen to my point of view.
Slow down my communication and take the time to implement social skills.
I need to use tact, openness and genuine interest in others and present my ideas in a less emotionally charged way.

It’s great to be able to recognize yourself in your North Node.
It’s interesting to look at what you need to be doing now.
It’s even better when you recognize the issues you have been working on and can cross them off your list. 

 
The Sun, The Moon and the Ascendant

SUN – your inner spirit self , your conscious self
Your Sun sign shows you the qualities that you need to build on and develop in a positive way.   It will tell you how you will form a sense of self.  Your Sun sign points your individual path to your highest potential where you will find fulfillment.  As you develop the qualities of your Sun, in a positive way, you will feel good about yourself and have a sense of being on the right track. Your Sun sign is where you will shine and become Your unique and beautiful self. The Sun is your inner self, your ego and your life force, which begs expression.Your Sun will also tell you how you perceived your father.

THE MOON – your emotional self and your unconscious
Whereas the Sun is your conscious self, the Moon is your unconscious self. The Moon is about your feelings.  It tells you how you respond emotionally and instinctively to your environment.  It nurtures, gives comfort and security, support and a sense of belongingness. Your Moon sign shows you your emotional needs and how they are met.The Moon also conveys the relationship with the mother.

Our ASCENDANT OR RISING is the mask we present to the world.  As we do not usually ‘bare our soul’ to the world at large, we adopt behavioral patterns and ways of adjusting to help us feel safe in our environment and family.  The ascendant will tell us about our coping mechanism that we take upon ourselves (not always at a conscious level) until we feel safe enough and confident enough to allow our sun sign to shine.  The ascendant is the rules we adopt so as to fit into the family and society that we chose for this incarnation and experience. The Ascendant could be seen as the scaffolding that gives support until the building is strong enough to stand alone. 

• My Pisces Sun allows me to understand my connection to the Universe.  It gives me the connection to my psychic abilities if I choose to develop them, and opens my mind to the big picture.  Pisces can find it confusing marrying the esoteric and the tangible, and may try to escape in many ways unique to the fish.
• Because society and family do not always appreciate or understand the essence of who we really are, we do not always feel safe to bare our soul to the world around us.  So we present an acceptable persona, which is our Ascendant, i.e. the Planet ascending the horizon at the moment of our birth.  I have been a typical Capricorn Rising for most of my life.  I was a very serious, structured person, responsible for many things and everyone.  I carried the “Book of Shoulds” with me where ever I went and I always checked out how I should act before I did anything.  Now I tend to use the positives of Capricorn to build and run a business and my career.  I have used the positive structure of Capricorn to define and contain my thoughts for my e-books.  Without Capricorn, the only earth in my Natal Chart, I would have found it almost impossible to ground my Piscean thoughts and ideas.
• My Moon in Scorpio impels me to look deeper and deeper into myself to find what fulfils my emotional needs.  The Moon’s purpose is to tell me about where I belong and how I am nurtured.  

These few things can tell you a lot about me.

When I talk about Astrology, many people will tell me that they have had their Natal Chart done, but they didn’t really understand it. They came away with an detailed printout that really meant nothing to them without some further explanation.  Inevitably they put this information in a bottom drawer and there it stays.

When you understand your Natal Chart you will understand yourself.  You will know where your challenges and potentials lie, and what areas of your life will be stretched or restricted.   Astrology can tell you the way you will react and deal with your issues.  But what is even more extraordinary, is that once you understand yourself, you will understand others.

Keeping it very simple, here are some basics.

The Planets are some part of your personality.
The Signs are how you will act or react.
The Houses are the areas in your life where this action will take place.

There are 4 Elements:
Fire… element of creation.. enthusiastic, excitable, needs freedom.
Earth.. element of form…  in tune with the physical world, cautious, patient, determined, practical and methodical.
Air… element of communication..  exchanging information, thoughts, concepts, ideas.
Water…element of feeling and sensation…  psychic, impressionable, understanding, compassionate.

There are 3 Modes:
Cardinal… Accomplishment oriented, actively seeking challenge and encounters
Mutable…  Flexible, adaptable, active, and open to change
Fixed…  Own, possess, hold on to for stability and security

The Aspects tell you how the parts of your personality, represented by the planets and points, interact within you, showing the degree and nature of the conflicts, the adjustments required or the talents you have. Aspects can be challenging or flowing. 

A Trine is a positive flowing aspect.  It is your giftedness. The things you bring in with you.  The things you have done well before.  Things that come so naturally to you that you may miss it as a gift.  You may take it for granted, and presume that everyone else can do it as well as you.  You may not use it to its fullest expansion. 

A Conjunction can be a positive and negative.  Close together, they can be a support but can also smother.

An Opposition is a challenge.  It’s like playing TugofWar across a chasm.  Pulling this way and then that way.  Oppositions needs to balance, compromise, see the other point of view.

An Inconjunct is like a road block and redirection.  One aspect of your personality needs to adjust to another aspect of your personality.  Often an Inconjunct will present in your health if you are refusing to change direction.

The Square is a challenge from within, a challenge we are forced to overcome or we will suffer.  Squares are great, as they show us the areas we need to grow in.

A Sextile is a positive aspect letting us knew that there is great potential, but it needs some effort on our part to get the best from it.

See! It’s not really that hard to understand.

But then there is .... the Chart Pattern, Chart Ruler, Dispositors, not forgetting the House Rulers, the Phases of the Moon, the Quadrants, the Hemispheres and of course....   mutual reception, dignity or detriment, exhaltation and fall. 

Once you begin to study Astrology, you never stop.  It's fascinating!
