North Node in Leo / 5th House

With your North Node in Leo or the 5th house, you’re here to learn about self-expression in this lifetime. It’s about living from your heart-space and embracing the romance of being alive. The universe wants you to shine like a star, as corny as that may sound. You’re here to shine.

With Aquarius or 11th house South Node energy, perhaps you were more heady, aloof and maybe a little detached from feelings or passion in a past life, or during your formative years in this life. You have an ability to look at humanity from such a big-picture view, like a social scientist. You can see patterns, what needs to be improved, and how to contribute to making progressive change. You’re happy to collaborate in a group or work more behind the scenes and not really make anything about you. Because you can be way more head-centered than heart-centered, you can miss out on deep romantic connection, creative expression and shining your own unique light into the world. In this lifetime, you get to lean more into that. You get to make it more about you. Leave the sidelines and take center stage. You don’t have to become a performer (unless you want to, of course). But it will serve you to step into more starring roles, however that might apply to your life. This north node gives you full permission and encouragement to build your confidence, self-promote, realize what makes you special and own it. Shine it.

Your Aquarius or 11th house South Node comes with gifts. It’s ruled by Uranus, the planet of revolution, innovation and originality. This planet is inventive and it creates social change. That is the energy you have in spades. You see the bigger landscape, you have an understanding for social patterns and why things play out the way they do. You know everything is connected and feel a responsibility to contribute your part. This can be in actual organizing and activism, or in your own way in your personal life. Aquarius energy is very individual, it doesn’t try to stand out but it can’t help but be noticed. It’s different and it embraces that. You just being you - caring about the things you care about, dressing the way you do, carrying yourself the way you do, not trying to conform and fit the mold - actually contributes to social change in ways we could never measure.

While being more intentional about embodying your Leo or 5th house NN, you won’t leave these Aquarian gifts behind. They just get transformed into a healthier expression where both the Aquarius and Leo ends of your nodal axis are more balanced. For example, in an imbalanced expression of your SN, you could be too emotionally detached, and too in your head. You could also be resistant to being a leader when really you’re the kind of leader we’re all hoping for. Stepping more into Leo energy will naturally balance your Aquarian expression. But you won’t lose your singularity, your brilliant mind or your humanitarian essence. You’ll always carry that with you, while learning how to live more from your heart. Romance yourself and others. Get in touch with your inner child and the spirit of play. Lean into your passions - whatever it is that makes your heart light up. Build your self confidence, own what makes you special and step into the spotlight when you feel called to do so. This NN gives you permission to self-promote and have a bit more of an ego. And by that I mean celebrate the unique personality and human form your consciousness is embodying in this lifetime! You may be afraid to come across as egotistical or cocky, but because you’re mindful of that, it’s very unlikely that you would. You embodying more Leo energy is needed. For real. So, you have the green light to creatively express every bit of yourself, in whatever ways light you up. You’ll find that the more you do, you’ll begin experiencing the kind of freedom that your heart most desires.
