Customer Reviews
If you let yourself read this with an open mind you could be
amazed, astonished, helped, intrigued. I just started studying astrology and recently joined AA. An odd combo I realize, but such is life. With a Gemini north node in my fourth house, I have read the relevant chapters and have been amazed,astonished, helped, intrigued and plenty more (let me get my thesaurus...). Read in conjunction with AA's Big Book, I have felt some real healing in my life. Both are eminently practical, easy to read, easily understandable and, best of all, helpful. As I said, I have just begun my studying of astrology (I have read Tarot for more than 15 years) and am full of wonder and awe at the riches it has revealed. Spiller's book has allowed me to look at some less than pleasant parts of my personality with something new to me: hope. I am eagerly looking forward to her next book on aspects--a subject which I am just about to start studying seriously. I picked up this book while looking at basic astrology titles, and I can recommend it without reservation to anyone with even a cursory interest in serious astrology. You won't be confused or overwhelmed by what can be an enormously complex subject. Read it with an open mind and it can be an invaluable tool. It has literally been a source of revelation to me.
Find Out What Enhances and Detracts From Your Life Purpose
"The sign in which the North Node falls denotes the psychological shift that need to occur within the personality. The house containing the North Node shows the experiences that allow the person to access this new psychological awareness...The South Node position in a chart (located at the point exactly opposite of the North Node) depicts an aspect in our character that has been overemphasized in past lives, and thus tends to take over the personality in this lifetime and throw us off balance. When we are acting without awareness, we tend to 'act out' the South Node position in response to our environment because we have been accustomed to that approach working to our advantage. However, in this lifetime, our experiences show us that approaching a situation from the stance shown by the position of the Southern Node of our chart is no longer working..." -- Jan Spiller in Astrology For The Soul
In her book Astrology for the Soul, astrologer Jan Spiller shows you the key to discovering your hidden talents, deepest desires, and the ways to avoid negative influences that may distract you from achieving your true life purpose, as revealed by the North Node of the Moon in your natal astrological chart. Although Spiller mostly uses the term North Node, she takes into consideration that the North Node exists in polarity with the South Node--and how they both manifest in our attitude, personality, and drive.
To discover your North Node, you need to generate a chart. You can do this by going to Astro.com Once you enter the birth time, date, and place a chart will be generated. Chart Drawing, Ascendant is where generated charts are stored. To find your North Node (NN) look for the glyph (symbol) that looks like a horseshow with curlicues on the end. The South Node (NN) will be in the House directly opposite the North Node, although it won't be pictured. The symbol for the SN is an inversion of the NN glyph. You also can also find your NN placement by gettng software like Mapping Your Birthchart.
In Astrology For The Soul each of the 12 Nodal positions are examined in areas like:
*Attributes to develop
*What these people really want
*Talents/Profession
*Healing Affirmations
*Personality
*Needs
*Relationships
*Goals
*Healing theme songs
Here is a small sample of Attributes to Develop for each of the 12 Nodal positions as described in this book:
Aries - Independence, trusting one's impulses, and self-nurturance
Taurus - Honoring expressed needs of self and others, forgiveness, and gratitude.
Gemini - Tact, logic, and listening.
Cancer - Empathy, humility, and accepting others flaws without judgment.
Leo - Individuality, self-confidence, and enthusiasm.
Virgo - Moderation, creating routines, and taking risks in spite of fears.
Libra - Cooperation, seeing through another's eyes, creating win/win situations.
Scorpio - Self-discipline, choosing constructive change, and enjoying high-risk situations.
Sagittarius - Patience, speaking from Higher Consciousness, and intuitive listening.
Capricorn - Self-control, self-respect, and letting go of the past.
Aquarius - Objectivity, desire for friendship, and active participation in groups.
Pisces - Compassion, surrending anxiety to a Higher Power, and welcoming change.
I highly recommend this informative book for releasing negative life patterns, embracing your strengths, and living a more centered and self-directed life.
The Best North Node Book Ever!
I was reading one of the other comments from an astrologer of over 20 years. I disagree with her. She didn't read the introduction chapters of the book which stated to relate the house ruler and read that chapter. Jan Spiller has written a phenominal peice of work. I felt like I was reading a story about my life. Everyone I have turned this book on to has enjoyed it immensely. We need more Angels like Jan in this world, to help sort out some of the "old and set in there ways" Astrologers that are out there. The Universe is constantly changing and so is Astrology, to be set in your ways about the interpretation of the "way it used to be" is not leaving room to learn new perspective, which this book so boldly gives you. This is one of my top ten favorite books. Her other book Spiritual Astrology is just as great, read that one too. Peace...
