More and more astrology experts these days are agreeing on the importance of the positioning of the lunar nodes in the birth chart. The positioning of the north and south nodes of the moon are said to not only dictate what issues and shortcomings tend to hold you back in this lifetime (the south node), but also show you what qualities you should be aspiring to in order to achieve your true destiny in life (the north node).
Your south node may represent your issues, but it also represents fear and a position that feels comfortable to you, even if it is not altogether productive or healthy. The north node always represents a positioning and a set of qualities that feels alien at first, but it points the way to true fulfillment and growth.
