Moon at odds with natal North Node
Resist falling back into old family dynamics. Finish the necessary conversation despite the tension.
In detail
Transit Moon in challenging aspect to natal North Node describes the ten hours or so when the moving Moon holds a hard angle to the natal North Node. The Moon covers 12 to 15 degrees a day, which is exactly what a 3-degree orb amounts to, and further contacts queue up behind it the same day. The node is the road not yet walked; the Moon is the most honest available reading of present feeling. A hard angle points the two at each other, and the feeling comes out clearly in favour of retreat: the familiar looks more reasonable, the new step looks foolish. Where the easy angle makes the unfamiliar cheap, here the test inverts, and whatever the mood is arguing to back away from is usually the thing to keep.
FAQ
- Does discomfort here mean the direction is wrong?
- It means close to the opposite. The hard angle puts feeling on the side of retreat, so discomfort usually only marks a road not yet walked. The useful test is whether the same judgement survives the next ten hours.
- When does the urge to back out fade?
- The Moon covers 12 to 15 degrees a day, so a 3-degree allowance runs about ten hours and a night's sleep usually hands the day over to a different contact. Resistance still present tomorrow is coming from somewhere else.
