North Node in Aquarius and the 11th house

Attributes to develop – work in these areas can help uncover hidden gifts and talents:
Objectivity (seeing the “total picture”)
Desire for friendship
Making decisions for the group’s best interest
Willingness to share unconventional ideas
Willingness to champion humanitarian causes
Active participation in groups
Awareness of equality
Relating to others as individuals, apart from their specific roles (gardener, doctor, lover, etc)
Creating win/win situations
Recognizing how others are special

Tendencies to leave behind – working to reduce the influence of these tendencies can help make life easier and more enjoyable:
Insistence on getting one’s own way
Making changes just to exercise authority
Attachment to taking risks (romance or gambling)
Willfullness and stubbornness
Attachment to the need for approval
Melodramatic tendencies
Doing what’s expected instead of following one’s heart
Unbridled passion – going to extremes
Unawareness of others’ importance
Prideful responses based on fear

The Achilles’ heel Aquarius North Node people need to be aware of is their need for others’ approval (“My survival depends on others giving me approval”) and thinking that if they have others’ apoproval their life is on the right track. But it’s a bottomless pit: Aquarius North Node people can never get enough approval to feel satisfied or to feel free to be themselves. Actually, for them the approval of others is a false barometer. They must risk disapproval and be true to their own unorthodox ideas in order to develop the deeper and more satisfying feeling of self-approval.

The trap that Aquarius North Node people fall into is an unending search for risk taking – especially in romance (“If I can just have a happy love life, then I will feel complete and can begin to do my part to help the planet”). However, if they don’t balance this romantic energy with a daily commitment to some type of humanitarian cause, it becomes too intense and they inadvertantly destroy the very relationship they want so badly.

The bottom line is that they’ll never feel free to dedicate themselves to humanitarian concerns unless they can forget their personal desires. When they add their considerable talents to making universal causes successful, their efforts are energizing and rewarding for everyone concerned. The irony is that when Aquarius North Node people dedicate themselves to a larger cause, they find that the universe will fulfill them on the perrsonal level as well. They need only be mindful of the old adage: “Be careful what you ask for, because you might just get it”!

What these people really want is to be in love: to be adored and share “center stage” with someone who returns their passion. To reach this goal they must learn to go with the flow – to tell the universe what they want and let life (with its perfect timing) bring others who will recognize and adore them. They need to learn to receive love naturally – to be alert to the window of opportunity and respond to those who come into their lives to love them. Spending time with like-minded people, openly expressing their unorthodox ideas and visions of the future, attracts lovers who can also be friends and give them the support they need. When they focus on enacting their altruistic dreams, life will send them special people to charge their dreams with romantic energy.

This is not the first time you've posted something I really needed to hear. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Read your NN in Cap/10th house, then wander over to NN in Scorp/8th house and synthesize.....

Maybe in my case it has something to do with My NN being conjunct Mars in Aqua, which is highly independant, willing and even conbative. Normally planets conjunct one's NN are intensified. My Mars/NN is also trine a Uranus singelton in the 1st and my Sun/Mercury in the 10th, which is a nice way fo saying I have a small attitudee problem.

Gemini Nymph made a really good point, and I'm following your logic on the NN/SN perfectly. I have the same, but switched to the opposite Node. If I'm a LAZZZYYYY Azz NN in Leo, what habits would I be "falling back into"? I prefer my Aquarius/Uranus influences to my Leo influences. Thanks.
