South Node Astrology; What You've Come Into This Life to Change~

“The question after all is said and done is just how accurate and satisfying is the North Node section of the book…when I finally read my own North Node analysis, I was happily impressed by the accuracy of its description. For me, it was a true mirror of my past and current life and spoke to me of the transition I find myself in now. I actually brought the book in to discuss with my therapist.” (Wow…thanks Jeff…I’m impressed by your personal self-disclosure there!) He goes on to say: “The author studied astrology for the past 40 years but only in the past 15 became fascinated with the North and South Nodes. For her they have provided a reminder of the negative core beliefs that had previously kept her out of alignment, disembodied and not authentically herself. Each of us is a wounded healer, a “Chiron” that knows the best medicine that cures. She calls it the North Node.” (That’s true. There’s a lot of my self-disclosure and a bit of raw edginess that permeates the book. The ne...

As I wrote in my first post below, I'm just beginning my second book, a sequel to " North Node Astrology; Redisovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose ", and this new book, " South Node Astrology; How Love Sabotages and Saves Us" will focus on relationships and how the emotional memory contained in the South Node influences how we love, and don't love in this life. I know that "Sabotage" is a jolting word to use, and that "Love" itself doesn't sabotage, but the distortions and povery of love do. I will also be delving--in this blog and the new book--into what Venus and Neptune in your birth chart have to say about how you love, and how it's expressed in your life. So what is this South Node? From the point of view of evolutionary astrology, the sign of your South Node describes your default pattern in life. It describes a way of being in the world which doesn't work well for you anymore. It represents somethin...

Sabotage? My hope is that the word “sabotage” in the title gave you a little jolt! Yes, “love” itself doesn’t sabotage, but the distortions and poverty of love (such as when we didn’t get “good enough parenting”) and our interpretation of what love is and isn’t— are the areas where “love” sabotages us. Every romantic movie and love song reminds us of how love “saves” us, but it’s in the therapist’s office that one hears the story of how love sabotages us. So the focus here will be in looking at our unique styles of loving—loving both ourselves, others and God. These were the first commandments we were given, and they certainly seem worth considering. One of my hopes for this blog and new book is to explore how reframing our understanding of love and relationship can help us bring in more of its saving quality and less of its sabotaging—and ultimately to explore how it’s truly an “inside job” which is much less dependent on others than we may realize. I don’t pretend to have all th...

I’m just beginning my second book, a sequel to "North Node Astrology"—this one with the emphasis on the South Node in astrology and the ways that love, and expectations around love, both saves and sabotages us. "North Node Astrology" focused more on life direction and soul purpose from the point of view of who and what we are doing in the world, and this new book will focus on how our emotional memories of love, and lack of love, shape our lives. It will also look at how we can reframe our past with more compassion and make current choices with more insight. It’s a huge subject—love and loving is intricately bound up with our early attachment experiences with our parents and, in my opinion, from past life re-incarnational experiences. And as we age we develop attitudes, expectations and assumptions about how love operates in our lives. I believe quite simply that the more conscious awareness and insight we bring to this subject, the better our cho...
