Okay, so the other day I was messing around with my birth chart, you know, just for fun. And I noticed something that kinda blew my mind – my North Node is in the 5th house. I’d heard about North Nodes before, but I never really got it, you know?
So, I started digging. First, I just Googled “North Node in 5th house” – basic, I know. I got a bunch of articles, some of which made sense, some of which were way too “woo-woo” for me. I was trying to find information about my personal experience record and avoid those about a general explaination.
My Little Experiment
Then it hit me: the 5th house is all about creativity, self-expression, and, like, fun. And my North Node there? It’s supposed to be my “destiny” or “life purpose” or whatever. So, I figured, why not try leaning into that?
I decided to give myself a little challenge. For one week, I would force myself to do something creative every single day. No excuses. I’m not an artist or anything, so this was a bit daunting.
- Day 1: I doodled. Seriously, just random squiggles on a piece of paper. It felt silly, but… also kinda freeing?
- Day 2: I tried writing a poem. It was terrible. Like, REALLY terrible. But I did it.
- Day 3: I danced around my living room to some cheesy pop music. My cat judged me, but I had a blast.
- Day 4: I baked cookies. They were a little burnt, but hey, I created something edible!
- Day 5: I took some photos of random things around my neighborhood. I actually got a couple of decent shots.
- Day 6: I attempted to play my old, dusty guitar. My fingers hurt, but I remembered a few chords.
- Day 7: I went to a karaoke, and I choose a song that I like best to sung!
By the end of the week, I was surprised. I actually felt… lighter. More joyful, even. Like I’d unlocked a little part of myself that I’d forgotten about. I mean changing my habbit from a coder to an artist is a bit too much, but I do feel something different.
I’m not saying I’m suddenly going to become a famous artist or anything. But I realized that maybe this whole North Node thing isn’t just astrology mumbo-jumbo. Maybe it’s actually about pushing myself out of my comfort zone and embracing the things that bring me joy. And that, I think, is something worth exploring. I am keeping to do something creative every sigle week now.
