Okay, so the other day I was digging into this whole astrology thing, and I stumbled upon something called the “North Node.” Apparently, it’s not a planet, but more like a point in your chart that shows your destiny or life purpose. Mine’s in the 12th house, which, from what I gathered, is all about the subconscious, spirituality, and hidden things.
My Deep Dive into the 12th House
At first, I was like, “12th house? What even is that?” So, I started Googling. I found a bunch of articles and forum posts. I spent hours trying to figuring this stuff out.
I started by trying to understand the basics of the 12th house itself. It’s described as the house of the unseen, of secrets, dreams, and even, like, past lives. It’s the stuff going on beneath the surface. Think of it as the basement of your astrological chart.
- Checked out a few astrology websites. Some were super new-agey, others more technical.
- Read a bunch of forum threads. People were sharing their own experiences, which was helpful (and sometimes confusing!).
Connecting it to My Life
Then came the hard part: figuring out how this North Node in the 12th house thing actually applies to me. I began journaling, trying to connect the dots. I asked myself:
- Am I drawn to spiritual practices? (Kind of, yeah. I’ve always been curious about meditation.)
- Do I have a rich inner life? (Definitely. My mind is always racing.)
- Am I comfortable being alone? (Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It’s complicated.)
I realized that I do spend a lot of time in my own head. I’m a daydreamer, always have been. And I’ve always been interested in things that are a little “out there” – like, I’ve dabbled in tarot cards and read about different spiritual traditions, though I’ve never gone super deep.
The “Action Plan” (Sort Of)
So, what am I supposed to do with this information? From what I understand, having the North Node in the 12th house means I’m meant to lean into these subconscious, spiritual areas. It is not going to feel natural. It’s about growth.
I decided on a few baby steps:
- Try meditating regularly. Even just 5 minutes a day. I downloaded a meditation app.
- Explore some spiritual concepts that resonate with me. Maybe read a book on Buddhism or something.
- Pay more attention to my dreams. I started a dream journal – it’s next to my bed.
- Do more art, I love art.
Still Figuring It Out…
Honestly, I’m still processing all of this. It’s not like I had some instant epiphany. But it’s given me something to think about. It feels like a nudge in a certain direction, a suggestion to explore the less obvious parts of myself. I’m not sure where it will lead, but I’m trying to be open to it. I continue to write it and see what I am going to do next.
It’s a journey, right? And who knows, maybe this whole North Node thing will actually lead me somewhere interesting. I will keep going!
