Understanding Your Life's Purpose Using Astrology

(Part 2)

Dr. Naieema


In order to understand your life’s purpose through astrology, you need to examine two key points: the South Node, which looks like an upside-down horseshoe, and the North Node, which resembles a right-side-up horseshoe.

In the previous blog, I discussed in detail what it means for me to have my South Node in the fifth house in Scorpio—the strengths I bring with me as I move toward my North Node, as well as the aspects I need to release in order to progress.

Exploring the North Node

In this blog, we're going to dive deep into the North Node. Feel free to share in the comments your North Node's house and sign. My North Node is in the 11th House of Taurus.

What Does It Mean to Have A North Node in Taurus?

With a North Node in Taurus, I'm learning three key lessons:

  • Relax and Enjoy Life's Pleasures: Embracing relaxation and the simple joys of life.
  • Build Self-Worth: Finding self-worth within myself rather than seeking it from others.
  • Create Material Wealth: Learning to build and manage material wealth steadily.

In contrast, my Scorpio South Node was filled with trauma, addiction, poverty, and pain, leading to reactive behaviors that negatively impacted my relationships, career, and stability. I often engaged in self-destructive actions just to escape situations that weren’t working for me. Ridiculous, right?

Now, with my Taurus North Node, I'm being asked to enjoy life's stability, build incrementally, and release the need for impulsive, reactive outbursts. I am learning to ground myself and savor my favorite foods, the feel of fabric on my skin, the scent of a lit candle, and the pleasures of life. Managing my money carefully to grow wealth is also a new lesson, a stark contrast to my earlier years.

The Significance of the 11th House

Having my North Node in the 11th House means I'm here to make unique contributions to society by being authentic to my beliefs. This house indicates that my true self will positively impact groups and society as a whole. Unlike my South Node in the fifth house, where I sought approval and recognition from others, my North Node in the 11th house encourages me to act out of pure joy, passion, and peace without seeking external validation.

Understanding your North and South Nodes can provide profound insights into your life's purpose and the lessons you need to learn. Reflect on your own Nodes and share your experiences and insights in the comments. Remember, this journey is about growth, self-discovery, and finding peace within yourself.

Hi, I'm Dr. Naieema

I'm a 5/2 splenic projector, a mom, a speaker and an Intuitive Business Strategist and Human Design Expert for women online service providers!

After climbing the corporate ladder, I realized that I was not willing to work 40+ hours a week for the rest of my life to prove myself to other unhappy people. Oh and while earning less as a woman of color. So, in December of 2019, I started my coaching business and took in to six figures in one year!

But I was doing the copy and past strategies and treating myself as an employee working 50+ hours a week. I was quickly approaching burnout. So, I learned human design, learned I am a projector and created a six figure business working 12 hours a week!

As a certified human design reader AND intuitive business strategist, I help women service providers, who’ve created jobs for themselves and who are experiencing burnout, use their human design and basic astrology to build wildly profitable businesses.
