Traditionally, the North Node in Gemini is considered very lucky and powerful. It indicates you have a fine mind and true friends. The corresponding Dragon’s Tail in Sagittarius brings over-confidence and the need for caution.
After many lifetimes spent on long journeys or in solitude with nature, you have incarnated to join the rest of the society in the city. In the past, you were quite wild and not used to striking the kind of bargains with others that urban life demands. You find it difficult to tame the wanderlust within you and may resist formalities for many, many years.
Others who know you have already recognized your need to do many things at once. As a carrier of the North Node in Gemini, you are also loath to take on responsibility, and some people do see you as a flake or perhaps some sort of mountain man who accidentally wandered into the city. However, the more you try to free yourself from the demands of modern life, the deeper a hole you make. You are in a mutually beneficial relationship with the other members of society, and the sooner you start to appreciate your friends and neighbors the better.
Though you have wisdom, you don’t know how to share it. You have so much to say, but words often fail you. Martin Schulman describes people with the North Node in Gemini placement as “shouters in the library.” There is still a part of you that never quite accepts the constraints of civilization. You need to learn how to communicate appropriately to be understood. This is why you have such a desire to educate yourself.
While in past lives you lived on your own, in this lifetime you will be dependent on others, perhaps for your very life. Circumstances will force you, again and again, to learn new customs, practice your manners, and see the world through the eyes of others. The North Node in Gemini placement means you will become a sophisticated and cultured specimen of your civilization.
If you are too heavily using your South Node, you might find yourself always leery of others curtailing your freedom. Or perhaps you leave when there’s the first sign of trouble lest you get tied down or “bummed out” by something. You might be sarcastic or arrogant. Maybe you are uncomfortable around your peers or have a blind faith in academic learning. Or maybe you get along with others, but only by relating to them as their teacher or guide. Good antidotes for balancing such Sagittarius energy include keeping a diary, taking shorter trips, and any activity that emphasizes manual dexterity and agility. Fencing, dancing, tennis, and golf are all sports you’re likely to enjoy.
Recommended careers for the North Node in Gemini placement are journalism, work in the media, short story writing, linguistics, and flying. Above all, stay away from repetitive and boring tasks. These will bring out the worst in you. Seek out positions that call for adaptation, but avoid creating a life situation where you jump from job to job without developing a career.
You came into this lifetime with a great deal of truth and spiritual knowledge to share. This is learning you accumulated over lifetimes of study and developing your intuition. Now you must figure out how to spread the “gospel” as you see it. You will either be loved or reviled by those you reach with your message. It’s no easy task. Some of the most controversial figures of our time show just how divisive North Node in Gemini can make a person. Ariel Sharon, Oliver Stone, Che Guevara, George W. Bush, Andy Warhol, O.J.Simpson, Salman Rushdie, Camille Paglia, Dr. Ruth, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Bertrand Russell all have the North Node in Gemini. Like them, you must learn to join the society of man, exchange information with your peers, and broadcast your higher truth, creating admirers and critics as you do, but mostly making friends.
