Yesterday's Sky: Astrology and Reincarnation

For this person, it has become imperative from an evolutionary point of view to do as he or she pleases

with that eleventh house south node pattern, the person is vulnerable to internalizing collective beliefs about what will give joy—the new car, meditating in Sedona, losing weight . . . whatever their cultural susceptibilities and socialized values dictate.

this person needs to navigate carefully around the risk that friends, especially needy ones, might become his or her “children.” Even giving up too much life and autonomy for the sake of one’s pets can be an issue here.

there is the tribe of his or her natural soulmates—artists of life who are truly experimentalists, affirmative of exploration and risk, celebratory of life, and slow to judge others.

As he or she evolves, such a person will increasingly experience a desire to express himself or herself creatively

With the north node in Capricorn, the time has come to move out of the narrow framework of the inward-looking family and to share this wisdom with the larger community.

What we can count on, regardless of context, is that in this present lifetime, this individual has a soul-intent to claim more freedom from outside influences, whether those influences emanate from the tribe or from the corporation.

So the cutting edge here—as ever, hard to attain—is individuality, joy, playful spontaneity, creativity, and a perfect freedom from the slightest need to appear successful, elevated, or elite.

These currents carried the person away from authenticity, away from the actual soul-intentions, and away from natural values. He or she lost individuality in the context of the will of the group.
