A North Node in the Aries sign of Courage: "My soul's path to fulfillment”
A life's mission as seen through the eyes of the Aries sign of the zodiac...
What's your Soul's Path?
"My soul mission is to be an Aries!"
What does that mean?
Well, before I answer that question, I guess I should first present the
‘official’ version of the Aries Sign North Node position and what it
means for the individual who ‘owns’ it.
According to my friend and colleague Linda Brady, in her book “Discovering Your Soul Mission
,” an Aries North Node individual is the Spiritual Warrior (metaphorically speaking). Those
with Soul Potential in Aries are natural athletes, pioneers, and
leaders. They are also self-aware, creative, masculine, confident, and
competitive. They enjoy action, speed, and taking risks. They may be
assertive and bold, and they don’t mind being alone because of Aries’
extraordinary self-value. Archetypes include:
• the Native American Warrior;
• the sportsman who competes with self;
• the beginning of spring.
Can you relate to the description above? If
yes, good for you! That means that you’ve begun to move toward your
soul mission, or in other words, toward your North Node Potential. If however, you can’t relate to anything I’ve just said, that’s OK too. Remember,
you may not immediately identify with the description of your North
Node because it does not correspond to what’s familiar to you. Rather,
it signifies who you need to be and the energies your soul wants you to
bring into your life to make it more fulfilling.
Note: If you’re feeling a bit lost and have absolutely no
idea what I’m talking about, I strongly recommend that you first take a
look at the zodiac compatibility
article. I think it’s important to go over the basics so that you can
get the most out of what you’re reading here. Just a suggestion!
OH...if you’ve already read the zodiac compatibility introduction, then
skip this suggestion. :-)
So...back to your original question – What does having an Aries soul mission really mean? Do you want to hear the long version or the short one? That’s what I thought! :-) OK then, for now, we’ll just begin with 10 key takeaway points. As you look them over, I want you to think about how you can begin to incorporate these ideas into your life. Don’t
rush and try to do everything at once. Take your time...try them out
one by one...and you will see yourself ‘blossom’ right in front of your
own eyes.
1. Be the bold and assertive initiator.
2. Use your energy and courage to inspire change
3. Identify with the ‘warrior’ within.
4. Assert your ‘self will’ to overcome challenges.
5. Take risks and don’t be afraid to speak your mind.
6. Be the pioneering spirit of your generation.
7. Don’t be so concerned with what others think and want... follow the path of your own desire... and there’s no way that you could go wrong.
8. Surround yourself with people who support your assertiveness and boldness
9. Incorporate Aries symbols into your daily life to remind yourself of your mission
10. And most importantly, become the ‘Spiritual Warrior’ that you are meant to be!
Now, if your significant other is the one with the Aries soul mission, then it will be your job to help him develop and materialize his potential. You can start by filling his life with the energy of all things ruled by the Aries sign. Surround his living space with
Aries symbols
...feed him
Aries foods
...take him on
Aries vacations
and fill his life with any other Aries Sign trinkets that you can think of. Do
anything and everything you can to remind him of and support him on his
Aries journey. It is one of the greatest things that you could ever do
for him – a gift of a true soul-mate!
Now, if you have the desire and will
to do that for your mate, good for you. And please don't worry if
you're feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next, that's
perfectly natural. This
stuff is sometimes too much even for the seasoned professional. So I
congratulate you for simply being here and having the desire to try.
If you find that you do need a little help, a little help is what I have for you. The
spiritual path report
can answer most of your questions regarding your mate's personality and
would be a great tool to have as you work on supporting his journey
from a Libra South Node (soul pattern) to an Aries North Node (soul
potential).
Having a clear idea of who your
partner is on a personality level will make it that much easier to
figure out where he's headed on a soul level. Translation: less work for you! ;-)
Once you feel comfortable, and are
ready to proceed, take a look at the table below and try to identify
the specific Libra sign traits he’s trying to leave behind and the
Aries sign traits that he’s trying to master (table below compliments
of "Discovering Your Soul Mission" by Linda Brady and Evan St. Lifer):
Libra sign: (old patterns)----->Aries sign: (new possibilities):
• Ambivalent…………………………...............Assertive
• Wishy-washy……………………….............Values the physical
• Superficial…………………………….............Independent
• Fears conflict…………………………...........Self-aware
• Avoids anger………………………….............Initiating
• Overly compromising………………...........Likes novelty
• Too rational…………………………..............Risk-taking
• Passive………………………………................Spontaneous
• Peace at any price…………………….........Prefers Action
• Status conscious……………………...........Eager
• Apathetic……………………………...............Competitive
• Dishonest……………………………...............Self-motivated
• Vain…………………………………..................Courageous
• Procrastinating………………………............Explorer
• Fickle…………………………………................Energizing
As I mentioned before, if you look over this list and notice any of the
Aries traits peeking through your man’s personality, it will be your
job to understand and support them. For
instance, if he decides to take karate lessons – support him. If he
decides to buy a motorcycle and wants to take you for a spin – support
him. If he wants to grab you tight and lead you in the dance of Tango
-- support him. If he wants to take you on an African Safari Adventure
– support him. You get the idea, right? SUPPORT HIM!
Once the both of you decide on, learn how to, and commit to doing that
for each other, there will be no question in either of your minds that
you have found your ‘true’ soul-mate, the soul-mate of your life!
Are you ready to surprise
your man in ways he never could have imagined? Want to create an
environment where he can really flourish? Wonderful! By
utilizing the insights provided below in combination with your own
imagination, you will not only succeed in inspiring him, but will also
simultaneously reward yourself as well.
Let’s get started!
The North Node in Aries Action Guide:
1. Crystals and stones
2. Home Design
3. Symbols
4. Foods
5. 3 C’s – Countries, Cities, and Colors
6. Aromas

I know that after exploring all of
these links, you'll feel a bit overwhelmed. I realize that it's quite a
bit of information to absorb all at once. But I assure you that it will
be well worth the effort. Incorporating
'little Aries reminders' into your daily life will not only help you
move closer to the Aries soul's mission, but will undoubtedly assist
you in discovering true domestic bliss! Try it and be the judge yourself!
There is one other important point
that I’d like to mention – something that applies to both you and your
partner (depending on which one of you has this nodal
position...possibly the both of you). You
might recall that I initially said that part of the Aries soul mission
is to move forward, away from the Libra South Node characteristics.
But, I would like to clarify that and let you know that it doesn’t mean
that the positive Libra traits have to be discarded. It took lifetimes for you to develop the person that’s here today, hard work that shouldn’t be ignored or forgotten.
The key is to fuse the positive traits that you brought with you from the past with the current ambitions reflected by your North Node position. The
point is to develop a personality that’s truly integrated. Our past is
as much a part of us as our future, so be wise and use all the ‘gifts’
that you’ve accumulated – the world needs ALL of you!
The following is a list of ‘trait combinations’ that I started for you. It combines two traits from each sign leading to a holistic integration of both polarities. I
want you to use the words on the list to remind yourself of the type of
person you want to become and for harnessing the unique Aries mission
that you’re here to fulfill.
Please don’t think, however, that
this list says it all. I want you to continue adding to it until it
describes ALL that you want to become. Once
that’s done, you can refer back to it anytime you feel a bit lost or
off track. The road is not always without bumps, so be patient. You WILL become the YOU that you’ve always dreamed of – I have faith in you!
You can begin by combining within yourself the...
• Pioneering Aries sign with the Artistic Libra sign to become the ‘Artistic Pioneer’
• Assertive Aries sign with the Libra sign of Tact to become ‘Tactfully Assertive’
• Aries sign of Creativity with the Libra sign of the Diplomat to become the ‘Creative Diplomat’
• Assertive Aries sign with the Mediating Libra sign to become an ‘Assertive Mediator’
• Aries sign of Athleticism with the Libra sign of Beauty to become the ‘Striking Athlete’
• Aries sign of New Beginnings with the Libra sign of Social Sense to become the ‘Social Trendsetter ’
• Courageous Aries sign with the Desire for Justice of the Libra sign and become the ‘Courageous Fighter for Justice’
• Aries sign of Self Will with the Libra sign of Harmony to create ‘Self Willed Harmony’ within you
• Aries sign of Assertiveness with the Charming sign of Libra to become the ‘Assertive Charmer’
• Creative sign of Aries with the Pleasing sign of Libra to become the ‘Creative Pleaser’
• Anger Diffuse r sign of Aries with the Tactful Libra sign to become the ‘Tactful Anger Diffuser’
• Aries sign of Confidence with the Libra sign of Refinement to exude ‘Refined Confidence’
• Aries sign of Action with the Libra sign of Balance to develop a sense of ‘Balanced Action’
• Aries sign of bravery with the Libra sign of partnership to become the ‘brave partner’ your mate can admire
The rest of the list is up to you to finish!
Sorry to leave you hanging like
that. But in order for me to go deeper into your specific motivations,
I need to know your exact birth data. Otherwise, I would be no
different than the tabloids – offering you information that describes
not only you, but also the other millions of people born under the sign
of Aries as well. Wouldn’t be too enlightening, would it?!
If you want to learn more about your unique truth, check out the
spiritual path report.
You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Well, that’s it for now.
