North Node

The North Node (also called Rahu or the Dragon's Head) is not a physical object but a mathematical point where the Moon's orbit crosses the Sun's path. Think of it as a compass pointing toward your personal growth: it shows the qualities and experiences that feel unfamiliar but deeply necessary. It is like a career counselor who says, 'I know you're comfortable doing X, but your real fulfillment lies in Y.' Following your North Node often feels uncomfortable at first because it asks you to stretch beyond your defaults, but leaning into it brings a sense of purpose. Eclipses occur near the nodes, amplifying their transformative power. The nodes change signs roughly every 18 months.
