North Node in Scorpio / 8th House

With your north node in Scorpio or the 8th house, you’re here to remember your inherent, divine power. This comes from going beneath the surface and learning how to process and transmute your emotions, even the uncomfortable ones. Especially the uncomfortable ones. The universe wants you to go deep in this lifetime. You didn’t come here to stay busy on the surface and avoid feeling your feelings. Feelings are your superpower. Uncover and embrace who you truly are, all of the light and all of the darkness.

With Taurus or 2nd house South Node energy, perhaps you were a real creature of habit in a past life, or during your formative years of this one. You stayed in your comfort zone, with a repetitive routine and lifestyle. Living on the surface of everyday life, not so much in touch with emotions, feelings, intuition or intimacy. Your Taurus SN energy is great at being grounded in the practical material realm, and it can resist diving into the energetic, psychological and more metaphysical workings of life. But in this lifetime, you’re here to go deeper. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, god of the underworld. So this time around, you get to learn how to become truly intimate with yourself and others. How to trust your spidey senses. Pluto is associated with major transformation, deaths and rebirths. So you may experience at least one metaphorical death and rebirth in this lifetime. To the point where you look back on a past version of yourself and they feel like such a different person. You may go through some upheavals that make you question everything - who you are, your values, your social life and relationships. And then you rebuild your life, totally transformed from before. Your soul came here to experience transformation like that in this lifetime, because of the invaluable lessons you learn in the depths.

Your Taurus or 2nd house south node comes with gifts. It’s ruled by the planet Venus, goddess of love. Taurus energy know how to enjoy the sensual pleasures of life. Good food, good drink, candles, art, music, etc. And Taurus is earthy, stable, centered, and grounding. With this south node you are a real source of calm and stability for other people. You know how to relax and enjoy simplicity, and you show others how to do the same. You may have a natural ease with money and building security for yourself. Taurus energy has impeccable taste and tends to be gifted artistically in some way.

While being intentional about embodying your Scorpio or 8th house NN, you won’t leave these Taurean gifts behind. They just get transformed into a healthier expression, where both the Taurus and Scorpio ends of your nodal axis are more balanced. For example, in an imbalanced expression of your SN, you could be a little too indulgent in sensual pleasures, like using food or drink as a way to emotionally numb out. Or you might get stuck in your same old same habits, and resist any change like it’s the plague. You can avoid real intimacy with yourself and others. Stepping into Scorpio energy will naturally balance those types of south node behaviors. But you won’t lose your grounding, sensual energy. You’ll carry that with you while you get more comfortable with deeper explorations. You’ll learn to open to letting others really see who you are, all of you, even the darkest parts. As you explore your psyche and accept ALL of your feelings, lean into the discomfort of finally feeling and releasing the pain and wounds from childhood, you’ll learn how universal these things are. No one is all light. We all have our shadows and darkness. And the more you embrace those parts of yourself, you’ll see you have an amazing ability to help and inspire others to do the same. So, no more avoiding. Take baby steps. You’ll see there’s nothing about you that’s too scary or shameful, and every part of you deserves love. A higher level of intimacy with yourself and others will enrich your life beyond belief. The pleasure, the stability and all the other things you most desire will effortlessly flow to you the more you face your shadows and do the inner work of integrating all parts of you.
