North Node in Gemini / 3rd House

With your North Node in Gemini or the 3rd house, you’re here to learn, chat, share, communicate. Gemini loves to be mentally stimulated. It’s the trickster, jack-of-all-trades energy that flits around and knows a little bit about a LOT of different topics. Gemini is the messenger. So you, my friend, have some communication gifts to put to use. Whether it’s through writing, speaking, teaching, rapping, podcasting, casually conversing, etc. You love to add value by gathering all types of 411 and using it in some form or another.

Coming from a Sagittarius or 9th house South Node, this Gemini energy may be unfamiliar to you. In a past life, or during your formative years in this one, you were maybe a tad close-minded in some way? You may have followed a certain religion or a certain set of beliefs, and it closed you off from considering differing views and perspectives. OR, perhaps you have a strong freedom-seeking, nomadic spirit. Like those #vanlife people (not making fun, I love + admire those people) that are always on the go. You know that archetype that doesn’t feel like it fits in with mainstream society or culture, and so it’s constantly moving from one place to the next, prioritizing freedom above all else? You might strongly resonate with that. So now, with your Gemini North Node, you’re going to learn how to fit in a little more. Not that you can’t still roam in your van, but it’s more the essence of not feeling so repelled by what most other people do and participate in every day. Like social niceties and small talk. Small talk is actually one of your greatest assets. And instead of needing to constantly travel from one place to the next, you learn the value of belonging to a solid local community. Chatting up your neighbors. Becoming a regular somewhere. Talking to the people in the corner coffee shop. It’s about learning you’re not *above* all that, and transmuting that incessant feeling that somewhere else is always better than right here. And also, higher education and philosophy and highly intelligent conversations are not all that matters. You can learn SO much about life from anywhere you live and have your mind completely blown by talking to the guy in the coffee shop, just hearing a bit about his story. You don’t have to be traveling abroad or getting a particular degree in order to be cultured and knowledgeable. Curiosity is your key. Nonjudgmental, non-uppity curiosity.

Your Sagittarius or 9th house South Node comes with gifts. It’s ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and higher meaning. Sagittarius energy loves to philosophize and ponder the bigger questions in life, like why are we here? You’re familiar with the search for meaning and the value in traveling and getting to experience other cultures. You love freedom, exploration, adventure and growth. You’re always seeking to continue to grow and that is so inspiring for others to be around. You also know how important beliefs are, and you stick to yours. Sagittarius is known for lacking a filter, being very direct or blunt and as a result, hilarious.

While being intentional about embodying your Gemini or 3rd house NN, you won’t leave these Sagittarius gifts or desires behind. They just get transformed into a healthier expression where both the Gemini and Sagittarius ends of your nodal axis are more balanced. For example, in an imbalanced expression of your SN, you could be a little too blunt with your opinions, sometimes hurting others’ feelings. Or self-righteous about your beliefs, not open to considering alternatives. Embodying more Gemini energy will naturally balance those types of south node behaviors. But you won’t lose your wise-beyond-your-years, adventurous energy. You’ll always carry that with you, while you’re learning to open your mind even further than you thought possible. The universe wants you to lean into your curiosity and your communication skills. Chat it up with just about anyone, ask questions, shoot the breeze. Schmooze your way around. Learn from each experience in your day to day, taking in other perspectives, and seeing that there is so much grey area in life. Not everything is so rigidly black or white, right or wrong, good or bad. Use that Gemini chatterbox inside you to spread what you learn, with your witty, clever, lighthearted cheer. You’ll notice that when you embody this Gemini energy, the coolest experiences, adventures and opportunities flow naturally to you, fulfilling your Sagittarian South Node’s craving.
