Your soul has come to go elsewhere - but it carries something heavy behind it.
In astrology, the North Lunar Node does not just show «where to go» - it is the purpose of incarnation, the port of the soul after a long journey through time. It is where your soul has not yet gained experience, but also where it has been called to heal.
Opposite him, the South Node bears the legacy of the past: past lives, deep habits and... the karma of the family. Yes, because the South Node doesn't just speak for you. It also speaks for what you carry from those who came before you.
The Karma of the Family through the Lunar Nodes
When we are born, we are not a “blank sheet of paper”. We come into a genealogical system with certain unfinished business: rejections, losses, silences, fears and limitations. The South Node, as an imprint of the past, often shows the collective karma of the family, where the soul became too identified with «what was» - and forgot «what can be».
For example:
- An South Node in Cancer often shows strong attachment to the family, but also fear of separation, caring tendencies they suppress. The person may have come from a line of matriarchy where women sacrificed themselves for everyone.
- An South Node in Capricorn often brings the need to prove your worth through control, suppression of emotion or cold-blooded survival. Here there is family karma from generations that survived regimes of suffering and duty, sacrificing joy.
- Correspondingly, South Node in Gemini or in Sagittarius may be carrying information trauma, silences or misinterpretations. Generations who did not speak, who hesitated to tell the truth, who hid family secrets.
What about the North Node? The liberation
Where the North Node, therein lies the psychic invitation: to create a new destiny, to break the cycle. And the most touching thing is that when you heal yourself, you heal the line behind you.
Those who have, for example, North Node in Aquarius, they have come to break the patterns, to dare to do something different from what «the family has always done». Those with North Node in Leo are invited to stop living for others and to recognize their uniqueness, even though there was always a demand for “sacrifice” in the system.
How can you tell if you're carrying the family karma?;
- If you feel obliged to live “as you should”, without a compass of your own.
- If you are possessed guilt when you go against family tradition.
- If you feel a burden that cannot be explained by your own personal history.
- If your soul path - the North Node - seems forbidden, “not for you”.
Then you're likely to be carrying not only your own karma, but that of your generations.
You are not here to repeat the past. You are here to transform it.
Knowledge of the Bonds is not theoretical. It is release call. The North Node is your inner promise that you will not continue in chains what began before you without awareness.
And this is the most revolutionary, profound act of love for your family:
not to live their lives, but to release what they didn't get to.
🔁 Examples of karmic patterns by Lunar Node axis
🔹 Aries - Libra
South Node in Libra / North Node in Aries
The soul has learned to give in, to compromise, to “keep the balance” - even if it is oppressed. Often there is family karma with sacrifices for the sake of others, or women who stayed «behind» to keep the peace.
The road ahead invites you to assertion of the self, learn to say “no”, learn to have a personal identity without guilt. It is the path of autonomy.
🔹 Taurus - Scorpio
South in Scorpio / North in Taurus
Here there is history of mourning, loss, disasters, even birth traumas of war, poverty or violence. The soul has learned to live in survival, drama and soul depth without breath.
The call is simple and earthy: to build security, to trust in matter, to enjoy life without fear of being punished. Abundance is not a betrayal. It is restoration.
🔹 Gemini - Sagittarius
South in Sagittarius / North in Gemini
South shows a family line with strong opinions, truths, ideologies or external idealization. There may be a past of immigrants, people who have always been looking for “the meaning”, but have not experienced everyday intimacy.
The way forward is proximity, communication, the present. Learn to talk, to listen, to connect. Not to teach - to relate.
🔹 Cancer - Capricorn
South in Capricorn / North in Cancer
Families with a history strictness, obligations, repressed emotions. The ancestors learned to survive without feeling. Many times, the family had “heavy names” but empty hearts.
The soul is called to embrace the emotional truth, to reconnect with vulnerability, care and heart. The path here is the tenderness.
🔹 Leo - Aquarius
South in Aquarius / North in Leo
The collective above all. A past where individuality was sacrificed in the name of the ’must“, of the team, of duty. The individual ”did not count“.
The soul is now called upon to shine, to express, to create without shame. To say: «That's me». Not to prove, but to remind you that life is unique and worth living as such.
🔹 Virgo - Pisces
South in Pisces / North in Virgo
The soul comes from a chaotic, sacrificial or confusing field, often with families who have experienced grief, mental illness or addictions. Logic was lacking, and everything «flowed without boundaries».
The path now is the organization, the detail, the care of the material and the body, the ability to bring healing through purity and discernment. Here, discipline is not oppression. It is redemption.
🔁 Examples & Mantra by Lunar Node Axis
🔹 Aries - Libra
Example: Helen, with South in Libra, has always put the needs of others before her own. She chose relationships out of a need for harmony, not truth. Only when she allowed herself to claim time and space did she feel freedom.
Mantra: «I have the right to exist as I am. I don't have to conform to be loved.»
🔹 Taurus - Scorpio
Example: Antonis carried a fear of loss and poverty from a family that lived through the Occupation. He enjoyed nothing, trusted no peace. Healing came when he began to connect with matter with gratitude, not anxiety.
Mantra: «I deserve peace of mind. I can live with stability, without fear of disaster.»
🔹 Gemini - Sagittarius
Example: Christina was used to “knowing”, to explain, to teach. But she never listened. In her family everyone talked a lot, no one listened to anyone. When she started talking instead of preaching, relationships were born.
Mantra: «I don't need to know everything. I just need to listen and relate to truth.»
🔹 Cancer - Capricorn
Example: Sophia grew up in a strict environment. She became a “little adult” early on. She did not cry, she did not ask. Liberation came when she allowed herself to feel, to hurt, to ask for care.
Mantra: «I'm not weak when I need to be. I am alive when I feel.»
🔹 Leo - Aquarius
Example: Michael was afraid to stand out. He always did what others wanted. His family wanted him to be “neutral, quiet, collective”. When he started painting and speaking in public, he felt whole for the first time.
Mantra: «I express myself without fear. I betray no one when I shine.»
🔹 Virgo - Pisces
Example: Danae felt that she was living in a “fog”. She was emotionally lost and could not set boundaries. In time, she found refuge in the daily sanctity of routine, body care, grounding.
Mantra: «The light is revealed in the detail. When I take care of the small, I heal the big.»
