The North Node in 3rd House, also known as the Dragon’s Head in the 3rd House, brings good fortune in many areas: siblings, neighbors, co-workers, an intellectual career, mental capacity, education, and travel for the specific purpose of education. The corresponding Dragon’s Tail in the 9th House shows a disdain for organized religion or perhaps extreme superstition. There may also be some danger in travel or a troubled journey for a mysterious or secretive reason. It indicates a person who should also avoid gambling.
Many astrologers consider North Node in the 3rd house to be exalted, meaning it is in its best placement. Perhaps it’s because the person’s spiritual journey is completely aligned with daily life. In past lives, you spent countless hours developing your intuition, philosophizing, and becoming wise. You have incarnated this time to be where you are, fit your life perfectly into the network of lives around you, and to use your mind to come to grips with the world as it is. Better than anyone else, you will come to understand how the world works, and the longer you live the less desire you will have to find some grand meaning in it all.
The 3rd House represents our daily journey. There is good luck around you. Opportunities will come from your own neighborhood, so to speak. As you go about your daily routine, meet as many people as possible. Build a strong network of friends and acquaintances. Develop good relations with your siblings and other family members.
To balance past experiences of long journeys and solitude, you must learn to communicate with those around you. You came into this life with a natural ability to intuit information and use the higher mind. Your task is to channel what messages you get to the right people. This means delivering the information in the right words at the right place and the right time. Your nervous energy is an impetus to do this. At your worst, you are just a gossip, but at your best, all your e-mailing, texting, calling and running around the city amounts to a job as modern day divine messenger. Think of Chris Rock and Bill Maher, both popular and controversial comedians with their North Nodes in 3rd House. What do they do but travel around the country delivering “the truth” to anyone who will pay to hear it?
Your challenge in this lifetime will be to tame your restlessness. From past incarnations, you have a soul memory of long journeys and travel to faraway places. From time to time this wanderlust may overtake you again. You are scared to lose this sense of freedom, yet you must in order to grow. Stay put and you will reap the generous rewards of North Node in 3rd House. Forgo the travel and gain self-understanding.
For all your communicating, you may have trouble expressing your deepest feelings. As you make your daily rounds, chatting up friends, neighbors, and coworkers, remember to exchange not just ideas but feelings, as well. You may feel boxed in by your relationships, but your web of friendships, family ties, and business contacts has a purpose. This was created by you to fulfill your soul’s desire to learn precision. This network forces you to be accurate, focused, and direct in your communication. Avoid exaggeration and phrase things in ways that those around you will understand. John F. Kennedy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, James Earl Jones, and Rod Serling, all known for their ability to deliver perfectly crafted messages, share this North Node in 3rd house placement with you.
You have a genius for facts and details. You were born with a natural creative intelligence which you should develop through formal education. Avoid unorthodox schools or metaphysical or occult learning. You will also find bad luck in careers or situations which require you to make decisions. Because you are always channeling higher information, you are never prepared to make a judgment, for you have that intuitive sense that more facts are on the way. Possessing the North Node in 3rd house placement means you will find happiness in careers which require a great deal of creative mental energy, such as teaching, writing, history, or any other pursuit that demands mastery of a wide scope of details.
