The Lunar Nodes, also called the Nodes of Destiny, provide a glimpse into your direction in life and what ultimately motivates you to reach your goals.

The North Node tells you what you need to do to evolve into a more confident version of yourself. Meanwhile, the South Node represents and also tells a story of your past lives.

The North and South Nodes are linked and sit directly across from each other in the birth chart. Understanding both signs can give you insight into how to understand yourself better.

Balancing Cancer and Capricorn Nodes

In relationships

Cancer North Node has to learn emotional intelligence and develop it. Their Capricorn South Node makes them fiercely independent but, for them to unleash the potential of their North Node, they have to learn to trust, share their feelings, and love fearlessly.

Opening up their hearts in relationships can be challenging since they can feel fear of rejection, but the more they can do this with the people they care about, the greater the impact of the connection. They need to learn how to create a balance in relationships where they do not consider having the upper hand.

While their South Node will want to establish dominance, they need to learn to trust and show their more vulnerable and emotional side to others.

In career

In their career, the natives with Cancer North Node need to learn to set goals that are not futile or ego-driven.

They need to work as a team and not only be a leader. The commanding and direct nature of the South Node will not enable them to create bonds with their co-workers or their employees. While the Capricorn South Node might be more focused on success and winning, the North Node needs to learn how to involve others to excel.

Being more nurturing and showing more compassion in the workplace while being focused on creating harmony for others will be a great way to have others value and respect them.
