North Node Astrology: Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose
By Elizabeth Spring, M.A.

In a time when anything is possible and nothing is certain and when more and more people find themselves out of work, any guidance that can help us discover our deepest path is most welcome.

The real question with North Node Astrology is can this book based on astrological analysis be of real value?

In the introduction, the author says that “the making of character is made through our choices”…and offers a special and curious tool to help readers dig deeper into the whys and wherefores of character and destiny. “Our soul purpose”, she proposes “is bound up with our ability to love and be loved and the movement towards healing and wholeness” which sounds true enough with or without the context of astrology.

She next asks readers to suspend their skepticism about astrological symbolism which she says is “best used to explore psychological and spiritual terrains” and invites them to consider that there may be something in their birth charts that speaks specifically of their life direction and soul purpose.

The author proposes that the North and South nodes in charts “offer a golden clue to purpose rather than prediction that most astrologers overlook” and that the South “represents the shadow or disowned or discarded parts of the self” and the North “seeks to bring wholeness to the psyche by compensating for what is not balanced. It holds our Soul’s aspirations like a guiding compass.”

Elizabeth suggests its like making conscious the unconscious and quotes Jung who said “When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside as fate. Perhaps, she suggests, we have some say in our fates. Is this an interesting theory or a gift from grace?  She suggests the reader decide.

The book is written for all who are hungry for spirit and thirsty for meaning, hope and possibility. Continue Reading »
