Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole astrology thing lately, and I stumbled upon something called the “North Node.” Apparently, it’s about your soul’s purpose, the direction you’re supposed to be heading in this life. Mine’s in the 5th house, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey figuring out what that even means.
First, I had to, you know, actually find my North Node. I used one of those online birth chart calculators. You just plug in your birth date, time, and place, and boom, it spits out this crazy-looking chart. It took me a while to locate the North Node symbol (it looks like a little horseshoe), but I eventually found it nestled in the 5th house section.
Then came the research. I Googled “North Node in 5th house” and read through tons of articles and forum posts. It’s all about creativity, self-expression, romance, children, and just generally having fun. Which, honestly, sounded pretty great, but also a little vague.
So I decided to just…try stuff. I started small. I always liked drawing as a kid, so I bought a sketchbook and some pencils. It was awkward at first. I felt silly, like I was pretending to be something I wasn’t. But I kept at it, doodling during my lunch breaks, sketching random things I saw on the street.
Embracing Playfulness
- Joined a local improv class. Total beginner, super embarrassing, but also surprisingly fun.
- Started saying “yes” to more social invitations, even when I felt like staying home.
- Dusted off my old guitar and started learning some new songs.
Then there’s the whole “romance” aspect. I’ve always been a bit of a hopeless romantic, but I also tend to overthink things. With the 5th house North Node, it felt like I was being encouraged to be more playful and less serious, to take risks and put myself out there. So I did. It will awkward sometimes, but I will try.
The “children” part is interesting. I’m not sure if I want kids, but I’ve been trying to connect more with the kids in my life – my niece and nephew, my friends’ kids. I volunteered at an after-school program for a while, which was both exhausting and incredibly rewarding.
Honestly, it’s still a work in progress. I’m not suddenly a super-confident, creative, romantic genius. But I’m trying. I’m experimenting. I’m learning to embrace the things that bring me joy, even if they feel a little silly or unconventional. And that, I think, is what the North Node in the 5th house is all about. It’s about finding your inner child and letting them come out to play.
