Frequently asked questions
What is the North Node in astrology?
The North Node (or True Node) is not a planet but a calculated point where the Moon’s orbit crosses the ecliptic. In astrology it represents your soul’s growth direction — the qualities and experiences you are meant to lean into, even though they feel unfamiliar at first.
How is the North Node different from the South Node?
The two nodes always sit exactly opposite each other. The South Node is what comes naturally — your comfort zone and inherited gifts — while the North Node is the growing edge you are stretching toward. Together they describe a karmic axis of release and growth.
Do I need an exact birth time for my North Node?
Usually not. The nodes move slowly, spending about a year and a half in each sign, so your birth date and place are normally enough to find the sign. An exact time is only needed to place the node in a specific house.
