The traditional interpretation of North Node in Leo is the ability to realize one’s desires. It also connotes good taste and a liking for the finer things in life. The Dragon’s Tail in Aquarius indicates someone who is easily lied to and has trouble discriminating. It may foretell infidelity on the part of the individual or his/her partner.
As someone born with North Node in Leo, you incarnated in this lifetime to learn the value of creating a life for yourself. Once you set sail for a certain course, little can stop you. You are determined and are capable of great fortitude. Begin your journey and others may follow you, for you have strong leadership ability. It is not uncommon for someone with this nodal position to live a rags-to-riches story, such as those in the novels of Horatio Alger, who shares this nodal placement. Lee Iacocca, Arthur Ashe, Ingrid Betancourt, and M.C. Hammer are other real-life examples of natives with North Node in Leo who embody this energy.
Deep down inside you need to see life moving along a certain path with an intended destination. When others don’t fall into lockstep with your march, you find them difficult to tolerate. You will no doubt spend much time alone. You may even be a hermit at one or more points in your life.
In the past, you had many friends, but friendship will only weaken you in this lifetime. When you need friends the most, none will be found, for you are here to learn to be an individual and independent. Avoid any tendency to feel sorry for yourself when others “abandon” you. Some famous people that share the North Node in Leo placement who found themselves abandoned or outcast by peers are Janis Joplin, Bobby Fischer, Malcolm X, and Lenny Bruce, all of whom went on to considerable accomplishment. The path in the life of someone with North Node in Leo is to become goal-oriented, and the universe will support you in developing inner strength.
You will find happiness by dedicating yourself to higher principles. The soul of this native craves dignity, which service to humanity can bring. Once you put yourself to work helping the brotherhood of man, you will more easily resolve the familiar conflicts that made your early adulthood difficult. While you spent too much time achieving things for others in the past, you are here to create for yourself in this lifetime, yet you must still serve the world in some way.
Confidence is another key concept for the carrier of the North Node in Leo placement. In previous incarnations you dissipated your energies on social engagements and utopian causes; you should now dedicate yourself to using all your creative energy to achieving some great goal for the good of mankind. This means living in a time continuum of past, present, future. Resist the temptation to daydream of what could be. Dare to be bold and individualistic today and you will surely win. Shyness is not for you.
If you spend your time involved in other people’s messes, are egotistical or ruthless, spiteful of others’ successes, or tend to shock people without real cause, you have yet to balance your energy. While you are here to be an individual, you are not here to be a rebel or a dictator. You will bring out the best in yourself by meditating on what your values are, then determining how best to channel your considerable talents towards furthering them. Finally, you must achieve these within the context of society. While you are an individual, you are not here to turn your back on others. You may even believe strongly in equality and egalitarian principles in the abstract. You will find as you age, however, that Orwell was right: some are more equal than others.
Your birthright is to claim credit for your considerable achievements. Be flamboyant in accomplishing tasks. Cultivate your individual personality. Others will notice your magnetic presence. Take leadership positions when they are offered to you. This is vital for the North Node in Leo person. Do not be afraid to organize the world around you, for you are here to create a stable life for yourself and others — and to be recognized for your efforts.
