Wednesday, JUNE 1
The Moon moves into the sign of Cancer early today–at 1:50 AM EDT–and we tend to seek refuge in familiar places and faces. This transit stirs our need to connect with loved ones and feel a sense of belonging or safety. The Moon forms squares to Jupiter and Mars, and while the overriding need is to detox and calm, there are also strong pulls to channel our energies in a specific way. There can be some tension resulting from conflicts between desires for independence and needs for nurturing. Patience is necessary now.
The void Moon continues until the Moon enters Cancer today at 1:50 AM EDT.

I plan on discussing an interesting similarity between my chart and Koand’s. We both have the North Node in similar parts of our natal charts and our Venus and Mars placement - respectively - both fall at the very beginning of Capricorn.
What does the North Node indicate in astrology?
The north node occurs in our birth chart directly opposite of our south node. It is determined at the time of birth by the exact position of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Together, these two nodes form the Nodal Axis.
The north node represents what someone’s soul came to learn in a lifetime that will bring them out of their comfort zone (their south node). This also comes in the form of what experiences we must seek out in life, or will be faced with in order to grow and evolve into our truest self.
This astrological placement is a secret to living your best most meaningful life, which is why it is sometimes also called the true node. The nodes also relate to karma and the balance we find within our karmic axis.
How we determine what purpose our north node predicts for us we much look at its location/context within our chart. For example, A Taurus north node means that you’re purpose is to relax, take things slow, and lean into the finer things in life. A north node in the 5th house will push you to express yourself openly and creatively.
When we understand our north node, we can begin to understand our astrological destiny. This key player in our birth chart can reveal the struggles and triumphs that we will see in our lifetimes.

What does it mean when North Node is in Capricorn?

North Node in Capricorn: The Diligent Worker
These people have very strong feelings and sometimes allow them to rule over them, although does not happen very often.
North Node in Capricorn in a nutshell:
Discipline can bring them a sense of accomplishment
It’s possible for them to resist any schedule because they simply don’t like to have their life structured. If sticking to a plan that’s all about taking care of themselves, they can have the most beautiful life.
Many famous TV hosts have their North Node in Capricorn, as well life coaches, good chefs and true professionals.
Because they also have their South Node in Cancer, they can struggle with their diet and can eat too much due to emotional reasons.
At their worst, they can make enemies out of those who have an intention to be their opponents.
This is happening because they have too strong feelings and are allowing what’s in their heart to take over. All the sufferings from their past can turn them into people who have excessively strong emotions and they may be left shaking when dealing with an issue.
These people can be really dramatic if they’re not paying attention to the way they’re acting. They’re only learning to become more responsible when it comes to their emotions, to what they’re projecting and the way they’re acting, especially when it comes to matters of the past.
These natives are moving towards becoming more down-to-earth and sincere when it comes to what they’ve gone through, as well to discover reality as it is.
Those with the North Node in Capricorn are evolving most when organizing. During this lifetime, they’re all about having the right responsibilities, meaning their soul always knows what to do.
Deep fulfillment can come for them when they’re disciplined and ready to support themselves. Just like those with the North Node in Virgo or Taurus, they’re spiritually developing and making all this practical.
Their drive is coming from the fact that they’re ambitious and determined to achieve great things in life. The expression of their soul is motivating them to have great goals and to work hard at making their dreams a reality.
As said before, those born with their North Node in the sign of Capricorn should advance in life by being disciplined. More than this, they have to become responsible for themselves, especially when their soul is asking them to.
The current lifetime is meant for them to be about responsibilities because their soul is asking them to be this way.
In order for them to feel fulfilled, they need to as well to rely only on themselves and to be organized. When being able to identify the matters and the structures that are meant to make them live their life properly, they really are on the right path.
Just like other North Nodes belonging to the Earth element, like the ones in Virgo or Taurus, those in Capricorn are meant to spiritual develop while embracing practicality.
They’re about being positive when it comes to achievements and motivation. The expression of people with the North Node in Capricorn is about the motivation to set decent goals for themselves and to work very hard in order to make their dreams come true.
These people need to rely on their own integrity and to be ethical. This is how their inner compass should function.
The more they’re in control and taking care of themselves, the more they can approach their objectives and learn from the past, turning all of their dreams into reality.
During past lives or when they were young, they were probably worried with how their life was going and they didn’t pay much attention to practical matters as they were too involved in the emotional side of life.
They may have been moody and had a dependency on others, which wasn’t in any way healthy for them.
Their present finds them as the ones who have to take care of their own life, but also by being independent.
At the mercy of karma
If they’re setting the happiest and most attainable goals for themselves, these people can be ready to have them fulfilled, but only by no longer being scared of getting rejected and by identifying what they need to do in order to be great leaders or persons with authority.
All this can have them feeling like new people because they may have spent their previous lives as one who identified oneself by the role occupied in their family.
They may still have to deal with some karma during this lifetime, but they’re always ready to do what’s right because they’re responsible and not at all gullible.
This lifetime is finding them to be creators and the keepers of what’s of value. They’re respecting traditions and still can find opportunities to surprise others.
Many are seeing their integrity and the way they trust as an avenue something to the leadership position that they so much deserve. Since they’re serious and have ethics, they can feel like others are not giving them their due, meaning they should identify ways of expressing themselves in the most creative manner, as well as seeking out their most devoted friends to motivate them.
People with the North Node in Capricorn are more respected and loved than they realize.
Life can always show them the best ways on how they can be leaders, meaning they can succeed in politics or managerial roles. They can also be entrepreneurs or artists.
It would be interesting for them to have this last-mentioned job because they’d open themselves more to art and what it can deliver.
More than this, they should trust their intuition when looking at what they’ve created because their vision can be the right one.
People with the North Node in Capricorn are all the time understanding that responsibilities, honor and their leadership skills can only be learned by making mistakes.
This is the only way for them to reach the highest peaks in life. Their power increases when they have to deal with challenges.
Maybe during their past lives, they were too family oriented due to their South Node in the sign of Cancer, but during this lifetime, they’re feeling like they no longer can be that way.
It’s okay to stay home and live a peaceful life too. However, their North Node in Capricorn is helping them learn how to make their dreams come true and how to obtain what they need from their hard work and what they’ve created for themselves.
These natives want to always be seen as serious people. They shouldn’t avoid work and hide behind a hard shell.
There is a drive to interact well with the public. These natives have a strong urge to have their North Node valued, meaning they like to take good care of themselves and to look good.
They are correct to take care of appearances because it will help them become more confident and elegant, as well charming and mannered.
North Node in Capricorn natives need to learn how to collaborate with the people in their professional life. They shouldn’t just jump to do the small things if feeling pressured to perform, or when facing some setbacks in their career.
In fact, they need to learn that the world is not going to adapt to them when things aren’t taking the right direction.
These people’s emotions are sometimes too much, or perhaps they’re feeling like they have too many responsibilities. However, as time passes, they should learn how to deal with with their responsibilities..
There can be challenges about the way they’re reacting and handling manipulation.
For example, they can be too intuitive and sometimes feel like they can no longer deal with reality, or they may refuse to open up to each and every of their emotions, which can be very dangerous for them.
These North Node Capricorns should trust their intuition and respect their own pace.
The purpose of their soul is to build a life for themselves, as well to become business owners or perfect at what they’re doing for a living. In other words, they need to fuel their ambition.
They’re keen on becoming wise as they’re growing older, but they need to spend some time alone in order to have the proper knowledge of what they’re supposed to do in life.
The natives with the North Node in Capricorn can leave behind their dependence for their family, just to be the ones who are well seen in the public eye.
They can achieve great things, no matter what they may decide to do for a living, but they should remember how to live in the world, not necessarily to become a part of it.
There is a need to set some limits between one’s self and one’s family or business life. Their purpose is to deal with dependents while maintaining their integrity.

Why does it matter that my Venus and Koand’s Mars are in approximately the same location of our charts? I’m sharing the following from here.
Venus/Mars Synastry Aspects
Of course for most people sex is important in a relationship so it is preferable to have Venus and Mars in aspect. It really doesn’t matter if the aspect is hard or soft, well it might in the bedroom perhaps…These two connecting more or less guarantees sexual chemistry that doesn’t dim too much after the initial excitement fades.
The hard aspects seem to make it more potent and exciting. With that also comes the potential for more aggression and a clash of libidos, when one partner wants it and the other isn’t in the mood. The magic Venus/Mars aspect on its own is not enough to hold a couple together. But you certainly need this or another sexual aspect if you want long-term zing.
