INTRODUCTION
The THEORY: The theory the Moons Nodes maintains that we do not come into this
life without past life influences or ancestral influences or things that happened during
our gestation period. In other words we are not tabula rasa or clean slate. The
Moons Nodes tell us that at birth we have a lazy part of us that has done the same
thing for life times and this time our soul lights up a sign that says, New Lesson this
time.
Each set of Moons Nodes suggest specific qualities: the South Node suggests our
overdeveloped character traits that are comfortable for us, but that may undermine
our lives if we hold on to these traits for security; while the North Node suggests the
qualities that we need to develop in order to find inner balance. The North Node and
South Node points are directly opposite each other. They are not planetary bodies;
rather, they are points that take into account the relationship between the Sun,
Moon, and Earth at the time of our birth.
South Node personality issues are places of fear and insecurity. We want what is
represented by the South Node position, whether that is selfishness and over
concern with survival ( Aries South Node/1st house North Node); the need for others
to accept I am always right (South Node Gemini/ 3rd house South Node) ; insistence

of getting ones way and the need for approval (South Node Leo/5th house south
Node); order in our lives (South Node in Virgo/6th house) or satisfaction in
partnerships (South Node in Libra/7th house) ; or family and emotional security
Cancer/4th house) or comfort and accumulation of possessions (South Node Taurus/
2nd house) or victim consciousness and compassionate understanding from others
(Pisces/12th house) . However, the only way we can feel successful in these areas is
through working on the qualities of the opposite sign (North Node position). We may
resist doing this wholeheartedly until we mature because we cannot see that letting
go of some of our obsessions, will bring satisfaction to the South Node areas. Thus,
the North Node represents a place of challenge, endless self-awareness and growth.
Some astrologers say the Moons Nodes are one of our points of personal karmic
imbalance. If we over-emphasize and fall back on the qualities of our South Node, at
the expense of developing our North Node, we may have a difficult time feeling
personally successful. But even if we dont consciously work on these lessons,
events in our lives are likely to force us to confront them. In my experience, people
often begin to confront and work on their North Node lessons in their thirties, whether
or not they are aware of the issues through Astrology. Before this stage of our lives,
we may be somewhat blind to our South Node tendencies. The best source about
the Moons Nodes I find is Jan Spillers Astrology for the Soul.
VIRGO & 6TH HOUSE NORTH NODE AND PISCES & 12TH HOUSE SOUTH
NODE
The North Node in the Sixth House indicates that your lifes destiny is to refine your
personality and perfect yourself as a human being. You are also called upon to
become more humble and subordinate, taking on the task of serving others. Virgo
and the 6th house North Node also means focussing on our body, maintenance of
everything (our house, the car, our body); all details, all processes; the mundane, all
fixing; keeping everything running smoothly including our health. So this North Node
is a position of service and work. The Virgo North Node or 6th house North Nodes
quicksand or Achilles Heel is being a victim and expecting endless compassion from
others. The unfolding of your destiny or life lessons may occur in the work place,
through service to others, by experiencing illness or by coming in contact with some
self-improvement method. People with this position must avoid looking for a mentor
or guru in whom they can trust blinding. They need to learn organisational skills and
good time management.
Basically the attitudes they must develop are

You have chosen a lifetime of service to others. This indicates developing any talents
you have, paying attention to detail and becoming an expert in some area. Though
focusing is not natural to you, the more you do it, the more you will like it. You would
make a fine accountant, editor, analyst, or hairdresser. However in the end you could
be a road sweeper because the spiritual task of the north node in 6th house is to
learn about the world around you, figure out how you can contribute to it, and work,
work, work.
The emphasis this lifetime is on addressing mental and physical health issues. You
may spend some significant portion of your life in a hospital, prison, monastery,
university, in government institutions such as schools teaching or otherwise
institutionalized. The routine and order of such a place can help you build faith and
heal. However, you choose to ground yourself, its important that you do so.
Because of your sensitive nature, you will find many of the things you are asked to
do in life unpleasant. Resist the tendency to feel sorry for yourself. Its important the
carrier of the north node in 6th house go about your daily routine with a smile.
Complete the tasks at hand, though they tax your abilities or seem unfairly
distributed to you. At your worst, you hide behind paranoid fantasies, letting others
work while you wallow in self-pity. In this lifetime, completing even the most
unpleasant tasks brings a sense of accomplishment and great self-confidence.
Essentially it does not matter what work you do. Dont worry that your work is not
good enough, that the outcome of your endeavours is not ideal, or that you are
unloved, or that people let you down, because this life is a tough life, messy,
imperfect, and sometimes disappointing. It is can be wonderful and will not be
improved by being a victim, a worry-wort or an anxious person. Build your mental
and physical strength, maintain a positive attitude, and contribute where you can.
You will find a deep well of faith growing inside you.

With your south node in the 12th house or Pisces you are full of spiritual knowledge,
having passed many lifetimes and even your childhood, in imaginary worlds, solitary
play and contemplation, prayer and meditation. But this really isnt good for you and
you will not be supported as escaping reality or losing yourself in imaginary worlds,
will undermine your self-confidence and exaggerate your nerviness.
Because of past experiences you, having the north node in 6th house placement,
find organization challenging and have trouble with time management. This may
make work difficult, however if you are wise you will stay away from self-pity to a
path of responsibility and self-discipline. You may find this daunting at times but the
discipline will build your confidence and soothe your soul. Apply restrictions to your
thoughts and diet, to keep grounded.
Traditionally this placement indicates good physical health, and taking care of your
body is especially important. The fields of psychology, dietician, medicine, natural
healing, nutrition, pharmacy or nursing are good for you as you are a natural channel
for healing power. Good luck with small animals is also indicated in the north node in
6th house nodal placement.
