Let's talk about the North Node and life purpose. The sign it is in will give you the style of expression you should use to achieve your life purpose, but what is more critical is the house placement and the aspects made to it (especially tight ones). Aspects are very personal, so we're just gonna explore house placements, and this is just a generalization. Your mileage may vary based on your chart.

Remember: your North Node is not comfortable to you. It's opposite, the South Node, is your comfort zone. The North Node is what we need to become, often with struggle (though for some it may be easier than for others, depending on the chart). This is just a basic primer.

NN in 1st house: your life purpose is to be true to yourself. Your South Node will be in the house of others, so your comfort zone will be in acting as a team, but what you need to find is who you really are independently.

2nd house: your life purpose is about values, principles, and resources. Depending on the sign and aspects, this could be about sticking to your guns or transforming your whole value system. It may even be about accruing wealth.

3rd house: your life purpose is to be a student and communicator. You are here to learn something, and possibly to teach it, though in a different way than the opposite 9th house NN. The sign and aspects will tell you what. 3rd house NN is more relative to learning new things or teaching children/beginners.

4th house: your life purpose deals with family. This doesn't have to be a traditional nuclear family model, though that is included. It could be a found family. It doesn't mean you need to have children, just that your life purpose deals with connections you would consider family.

5th house: your life purpose is personal pleasure and self expression. It could possibly deal with children as well. The sign and aspects will give you a clearer picture.

6th house: your life purpose is found in health and your daily routine. This might sound boring at a glance, but even a thing like martial arts could fall under this category. You are here to master oneness in how you live your life, body and mind. Sign and aspect will tell you in what way.

7th house: your life purpose is to live in harmony with a partner. This could be romantic, business, or platonic. You need to overcome your ego to unite with someone else.

8th house: your life purpose could deal with sharing resources (charity), the occult, mastering altered states of mind... the 8th house is about how our values and principles and resources are changed by outside influences. It deals with intense intimacy.

9th house: this life purpose deals with higher learning, philosophy, and travel. While the 3rd house deals with learning new things, siblings, our home town, communication, the 9th house explores topics in further depth, getting to the nitty gritty root of things, whether with in depth research, personal experience, or higher education. A stereotype would be university professor or religious priest type figure.

10th house: your life purpose is what you do for the world. This could be your career or volunteer work, or anything else which falls in to that realm. It is what you do for society, your impact on the world everyone lives in.

11th house: your life purpose is to be involved in your community as a social networking figure. You bring people together, maybe arrange events. You are here to know people and connect with people and to help others connect with each other.

12th house: you could be a martyr (lol) or here for exploring your subconscious. What is hidden from you is what you need to find. You need to seek a deep harmony within yourself and search the inner depths of your mind and soul. This is a highly spiritual life purpose.

Christians hate when a gay man goes “fuck it, I’ll gladly go to Hell if you want me to so bad” because it takes the edge away from their tools of fear. If they can’t scare you with threats of eternal damnation then one of their main weapons is taken away.

“You’re supposed to fear your father/parents” this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say that someone told them this in the tags. Christianity as an institution is one of the biggest shelters for abusers out there and this shit right here is how they do it.

[bettythewitch]

The Christian god is abusive. To have a spiritual relationship with him is to be abused by him.

The saints, the holiest people, proved their love by how much suffering they endured. Yahweh is a sadistic piece of shit who wants to watch his followers suffer.

Spiritual people who have relationships with other deities know that a spiritual relationship isn't always this toxic. But that's part of why yahweh commands that no other gods should be worshiped, that he's the only one, because abusers isolate their victims.

He's also set up a system where the only way to be saved is to worship him. This means his followers are justified to kill anyone who isn't a Christian if they're trying to conquer and convert their people, since they're going to be damned anyways unless they're converted.

He's a spiritually fascist evil being who wants to take over the world, and does so through lies and manipulation, fear and threats.

Lol heads up if you try to make a candle with food coloring, the food coloring will just sink to the bottom of the glass, and when the flame eventually reaches the bottom all the food coloring will catch fire and become one giant tall flame that you cannot possibly blow out and the glass will start to crack and then you'll throw your tea on it in a panic and then the extremely hot food coloring will boil and sizzle horribly and then the glass will shatter. Please take my word on this lmfao

For my Gemini/Libra folks... especially rising and Mercury in the equation...

I know sometimes we like to try on different "hats" or "glasses" to see the world from another perspective or try being a different way and see how people respond to that. Like we'll observe how someone else is acting and think, oh I might want to try acting like that. Maybe because you enjoy their behavior, or the way others respond to their behavior.

And this can be a good thing, it opens our minds to other ways of being and broadens our horizons. We learn new ways to be and how it is treated. But we forget something. That it isn't our power. It doesn't always work out for us the way it does for others. Because their energy will be more pure--it is not a hat they wear, it is their mind, their only mind.

And maybe yes, part of our power is being able to put on these different "hats" and to see these varieties of perspectives and empathize with them. That is a strength. But it is not us in our ultimate form. It is us learning things to bolster our ultimate, true form, and we can't get lost in these hats, these glasses, as if that's truly our role or truly how we need to see things, or we will lose ourselves. We need to remember and come back to our power: we are chimeras, our snake tail, lion body, and eagle wings ALL fully integrated. We can not be one thing and one thing only, and we can not cut off the rest of who we are to try to become a pure single organism.

Our ultimate form is the jack of all trades, and not a master of one.

This is why I don't do readings about "when will I find the One who is MEANT TO BE" because I don't believe in that stuff...

[bettythewitch]

Let's talk about ruling planets.

Only fire and water signs get a luminary. Both of these elements are intuitive and emotional, though water prefers to dwell on emotion and fire prefers to take action on their feelings. They also share Mars ruling both Aries and Scorpio, and Jupiter ruling Sagittarius and Pisces. Mars is impulsive and Jupiter is lucky. The moon is our feelings and the sun is our ego. Fire/water signs tend to live as if whatever they feel is correct and things should just work out for them or the world is wrong (and the water signs brood about the last bit when they fail).

Earth and air signs share Mercury through Gemini and Virgo, Venus through Taurus and Libra, and Saturn through Capricorn and Aquarius. Earth and air signs are both more detached, though air prefers to dwell in thoughts of analysis while earth takes practical actions. Mercury is knowledge/communication, Venus is creativity and love, Saturn is time, hard work, and karma. Earth and air signs tend to think ahead and realize their own feelings might not be as important as the big picture. They can step outside themselves to see how others feel. They over analyze all possibilities and can be great listeners and open minded towards creative solutions to their goals.

Libra vs. Taurus as Venusians.

Taurus is sensual feminine earth. Libra is detached masculine air. Taurus is art in their body. Libra is the art appreciator.

Taurus is about feeling physical pleasure. Libra analyzes the ideals of pleasure.

Taurus is the bad bitch with the long nails and contour game. Libra is the man wearing a fitted shirt who got a skin care routine.

[bettythewitch]

Manifestation tip:

To make detaching easier, instead of visualizing the goal itself, visualize your excitement when you tell your friends that it happened, and them being happy for you.

It’s easier to detach from the byproducts that would be caused by manifesting than what it is you’re attached to.

Natal Sun Conjunct Aspects

Conjunction is more about proximity. Here the planets are at or almost at 0 degrees from each other. Usually 10 degrees or less can fall into a conjunction. Conjunctions are an aspect that can be dissected a great deal depending on which planet, sign, and house is involved. 

Sun Conjunction Moon: Many times this means the Sun/Moon are in the same sign or the planet is right on the edge of one sign to another. Going with the former, this shows the concentration of traits that come from the Sun/Moon being in the same sign. This person likely relates to their Sun Sign/“zodiac sign” a lot. This aspect can cut down on someone’s internal struggles but can indicate hardship when trying to change behavior and grow. On the chance the Sun/Moon conjunction occurs with two different signs usually this indicates that the Sun or Moon heavily overwhelms the other.

Sun Conjunction Venus: The ego and planet of love and partnerships energies merge. There is a strong tie between self-esteem and relationships. Putting too much weight into friendships and lovers when it comes to defining identity can happen. Has a connection to dating certain people or refusing to be single to boost confidence. Must be careful of vanity and jealousy in love. This can be a promising aspect for creativity and cooperation. Must learn self-love.

Sun Conjunction Mercury: The ego and mind are in tune with each other. How one communicates depends on the state of their ego. Taking pride in opinions and beliefs as well as staying strong in views is associated here.

Sun Conjunction Mars: Mars energy tends to directly feed into the ego and identity. This could make for someone who has endless energy and is always ready for conflict or one who is heavily guarded and maybe passive aggressive. Look to the sign(s) involved.

Sun Conjunction Jupiter: Luck and optimism could be given to the Sun but so can being a huge risk taker and self-indulgent. What sign Jupiter is in could show signs of talents, what sign the Sun is in can indicate how this is presented.

Sun Conjunction Saturn: Tends to make the identity more guarded and controlled. There can be challenges towards expression of identity. Being disciplined, serious, and reserved early on in life and then growing into the Sun’s traits is common here. Sun could also overpower Saturn and make one less focused on career, responsibility, and find it hard to learn from trials.

Sun Conjunction Uranus: This person will likely be naturally rebellious against authority and tradition. Individuality is of extreme importance. There is a fixed nature that can be added to the Sun, especially in the realm of rebellion and ideas. If the Sun overpowers it can indicate fear of change and the ego feeling insecure about individuality.

Sun Conjunction Neptune: This person likely lives in another reality. Escapism, sensitivity, being impressionable, and unrealistic standards or views are given to one’s Sun. Neptune could also “drown out” the Sun and its identity/traits. This aspect can be favorable for creativity, kindness, and selflessness.

Sun Conjunction Pluto: Here intensity meets the Sun. There is a dislike for anything superficial, fake, distant, and unreadable. This is a favorable aspect for self-discovery, mastery, and intuition. Watch out for Pluto’s nastier traits overlapping the Sun.

Sun Conjunction North Node: This can indicate an almost highway into the lessons of the nodes. This person is more in tune with the nodes life path. The drive to evolve is embedded into their ego and identity.

Sun Conjunction Ascendant: This person is going to be filled with self-focused energy. Their impressions are strong, exterior and identity are one, they tend to be focused on taking destiny into their own hands, can be too consumed with their outer image, reputation, and the outer world.

Sun Conjunction Midheaven: Ambition is everything. Ambition is life. Ambition is who they are. Can be courageous, a leader, willful, but must watch out for arrogance. Certain signs could change the direction of ambition but overall they want success.

Sun Conjunction Chiron: One becomes easily aware of their wounds and has a drive to heal them. Many times this wound can exist in the ego or their identity. Relationship with authority figures may be on a path to healing throughout life or indicates few wounds/damage from them.

Sun Conjunction Juno: The ego craves a soul mate. At a young age they “know” what their soul mate will be like. Love at first sight may be a phenomenon this individual experiences. Must be careful of identity and state of ego getting too wrapped up in a spouse.

Sun Conjunction Ceres: Can indicate positive nurturing influences in their own life as well as having nurturing be a part of their personality. The need for or to give encouragement is strong. Different signs could indicate turbulence in receiving nurturing when younger but a unique form of giving care when older.

Sun Conjunction Pallas: Talents shine through this person’s Sun. Lucky is the person who has a profitable talent, they are good at what they know/can do and can impress others with it. Can tie their identity to their talents, skill, and knowledge.

Sun Conjunction Vesta: It is easier for one to focus on self-care here, especially to the ego. They develop pride in things with ease. Spiritual, mental, and emotional health are tied to the ego however and learning lessons to move past this can be rough.

Sun Conjunction Lilith: There is rebellion here against social norms and maybe morals. This can be empowering for liberation and understanding of taboos but this could be an area where Lilith’s traits are closer to the surface.
