With the North Node in Taurus, it is usually said the individual will enjoy the arts and find great pleasure in love.  Some famous people with this placement include Jackie Kennedy, Princess Grace, and Prince Harry, known for their extravagant lifestyles and famous spouses.  It can also indicate pessimism and hesitation, which should be overcome.

The Dragon’s Tail in Scorpio connotes an individual who seeks shortcuts to success and a lack of courage.

In the past, you lived through the hell of death and rebirth.  You had powerful sexual urges that led to questionable relationships or practiced witchcraft.  Often, there is a spillover effect into the current lifetime.  You may find that each day brings a different crisis.  Self-discovery is called for in the North Node in Taurus.  It will lead you to develop new values and create the place of inner peace which you so desperately desire.

From your past life experiences, you find it difficult to believe that others are not out to take advantage of you or at least have an agenda.  If you are not spiritually developed, you may still seek to revenge yourself for various real or imagined wrongs.  You do this by creating scenarios that destroy your relationships, the demise of which you blame on the helpless victims of your manipulation. For instance, Oscar Wilde, who shares this placement, self-destructed at the height of his fame. While The Importance of Being Earnest was being performed on the London stage, he insisted on prosecuting the father of his homosexual lover for libel, which resulted in the defendant producing proof of Wilde’s sodomy, then still a crime. It led to jail time and exile for the playwright.

With this placement, you have very intense feelings which, if not channeled constructively, can lead to outbursts.  This tumultuous inner life may explain the horrific paintings of Otto Dix, the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud, and the violent and fantastic writings of natives Stephen King, Ursula Leguin, and George R.R. Martin.

The North Node in Taurus wants stability but unconsciously acts to create chaos because it is a familiar feeling. You are in control of your life, but you may not be conscious of it.  If you do not take good care of yourself, you may actually self-destruct. Fellow natives Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Kurt Cobain, Phil Hartman, and Jeff Buckley are typical of this dynamic.  As you mature, you will find a way to deal with the emotional seas inside you and take responsibility for creating the life you want. A good example of the positive use of this energy is Anne Frank, who wrote, “Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.”

You may have a hang-up about having to start at the bottom of a profession, resent having to prove your worth, be contemptuous of money, sport a “give me” attitude, or feel that you can only prosper by taking from others.  Time and again you come up short and blame it on someone else.  Some individuals with this placement invest all their energy in one resource, usually intangible.  This is a risky life strategy.

You want the good things in life and can be jealous of those who have nice possessions.  You are here to learn the value of material things. This awareness can lead you to take a special interest in the poor and how wealth is distributed, like Jesus Christ (date disputed), Mother Theresa, Karl Marx, and Martin Luther King, Jr.   Natives may amass great fortunes, a la J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie, or renounce a world existence, like Henry David Thoreau and Cat Stevens.

This is a lifetime about transcending base urges:  lust becomes love, continual rebirth becomes peace, and jealousy of others’ possessions becomes resourcefulness. Gardening, cooking, music appreciation, sewing, painting, and a hobby of valuable collectibles are all recommended for individuals with North Node in Taurus.  Take an interest in one or some of these.  It may help your soul on its journey.

Invest in yourself and will you finally create the stability you seek.  Take the habit of husbanding your resources.  Do not deplete your health, money, physical or sexual energy.  Save for a rainy day.  Replenish depleted accounts. Avoid waste. Budget wisely. In other words, take good care of yourself. Then you will find a greater happiness than you have ever known.
