Spilling the North Node Tea

Is your soul map ‘selfish’ or ‘selfless’?

If you want to know what your soul signed up for in this lifetime, the North Node is it. This is not about your comfort zone, which is your South Node. That is the stuff you can do in your sleep because you have been there and done that in past lives. Your North Node is where the Universe throws you into the deep end, hands you a paper straw, and says, “Swim.”

The houses it sits in tell you where this growth work plays out. Houses 1 through 6 mean a selfish life purpose. That sounds shady, but it really means the work is rooted in your own growth, discipline, and internal rewiring. Houses 7 through 12 mean a selfless life purpose, where your karmic homework involves connection, collaboration, and showing up for others, even if they make you want to scream into a throw pillow sometimes.

And do not get smug if you have a “selfless” North Node. You still have to get your act together on your own before you can be any good to the rest of us. Likewise, selfish placements still require people, you just do not get to hide behind them.

Now, here is what each house really means.

1st House North Node

Aries energy. You came here to stop outsourcing your identity. No more, “Who do you think I should be?” energy. In past lives you were all about partnerships, alliances, and diplomacy to the point where you disappeared into other people’s agendas. This lifetime the Universe yanks you out of the peanut gallery and drops you center stage. You are here to figure out what you want, how you want to look, how you want to move, and how you want to be seen. Bonus tip, you will attract better partnerships once you stop shapeshifting to keep the peace.

2nd House North Node

Taurus territory. In past lives you leaned too hard on other people’s money, resources, or validation. This life you earn it yourself. You are here to build self worth that is not on loan from anyone else. The Universe will keep sending you “check your bank balance” moments until you learn that your value is not determined by who is footing the bill. The secret here, once you have locked down your own financial and emotional stability, collaborations will explode in the best way because you will finally be showing up as an equal.

3rd House North Node

Gemini energy. Your soul signed up for a crash course in connection, curiosity, and showing your work. In past lives you were a big picture philosopher or wanderer who could not be bothered with the details. Now you are here to master the everyday exchange, conversations, short trips, sibling dynamics, and local influence. Your magic is in making complicated things digestible, and you will do your best work when you are constantly learning and sharing. Ziggy truth bomb, if you hoard your knowledge, your life purpose clogs up like a drain full of hair.

4th House North Node

Cancer vibes. This is about home, roots, and healing your foundation. In past lives you were all career, all status, and all public achievement, and your private life was an afterthought. This time the Universe says, “Go home and deal with your feelings.” You are here to create a sanctuary, to process family patterns, and to nurture yourself as much as you nurture others. The secret is that your public success in this life will come because you handled your private life first. Ignore it and you will end up burning out in public while your personal world quietly falls apart.

5th House North Node

Leo territory. Past lives had you blending into the background, sacrificing your spotlight for the group. This life the Universe hands you a metaphorical mic and says, “Your turn.” You are here to create, perform, and prioritize pleasure without apologizing for it. This does not mean you become a fame hungry maniac, it means you stop waiting for permission to shine. The Ziggy extra, your creativity is your therapy. The more you lean into joy, the more the Universe sends opportunities that stick.

6th House North Node

Virgo precision. In past lives you were deep in Pisces energy, dreaming, drifting, and dodging the details. Now you are here to show up, clock in, and bring order to the chaos. Your purpose is in building systems, mastering routines, and learning that discipline is freedom. Yes, it is about service, but it is also about refining yourself. Ziggy secret, this placement attracts “fix me” people until you prove you can fix your own life first. Once you do, you will help others without losing yourself in the process.

7th House North Node

Libra energy. You have done the solo act in past lives and frankly, you were good at it. Too good. This lifetime is about learning the art of partnership, in love, business, and friendship. The Universe will keep throwing relationships at you, good and bad, until you figure out that compromise does not mean surrendering yourself. The secret sauce, you do not just need any partner, you need the right ones who match your values. When you find them, your purpose unfolds like magic.

8th House North Node

Scorpio depth. In past lives you lived in the land of “mine,” my money, my stuff, my survival. Now you are here to merge. This is about intimacy, trust, and sharing resources. It is about confronting your fears around vulnerability and letting other people in far enough to see your shadows. The Ziggy angle, your biggest transformations will come through other people’s crises. Do not run from the mess, it is where you will find your gold.

9th House North Node

Sagittarius expansion. You have been the local know-it-all in past lives, mastering your immediate world but avoiding the big wide unknown. This life calls for adventure, philosophy, and faith. You are here to explore the unfamiliar, whether it is through travel, higher education, or spiritual exploration. Secret tip, you cannot find your purpose standing still. Your magic unfolds when you keep putting yourself in places where you do not know the language, literally or metaphorically.

10th House North Node

Capricorn ambition. You were a homebody in past lives, hyper focused on family and personal life. Now you are here to step into the public eye and build something lasting. Your purpose is tied to legacy, leadership, and showing the world what you can do. Ziggy insider note, you will always feel a pull to retreat, but every time you choose the spotlight over the couch, you align with your destiny.

11th House North Node

Aquarius contribution. Past lives had you living in the land of the Leo spotlight, center stage and adored, but very “me first.” This time the Universe wants you to plug into the collective. You are here to make an impact on your community, innovate, and shake up the system. The hidden key, the more you share credit and empower others, the more your own influence multiplies.

12th House North Node

Pisces surrender. In past lives you were hyper logical, detail obsessed, and maybe a little controlling. Now you are learning to let go and trust the unseen. This is about spirituality, intuition, and compassion for yourself and others. Ziggy truth, your purpose blooms when you stop trying to force the puzzle pieces together and instead let the picture emerge on its own. The more you release, the more the Universe delivers.
