Expert Interview

If your astrological birth chart is a guide to your identity and life, think of your north node as road sign to your destiny and where you’re headed on that journey. What exactly does it mean if your north node falls in Taurus, though? We’ve taken a closer look at everything there is to know about this astrological alignment, including what it means for your love life and career. We’ve even examined how different houses affect a Taurus north node placement, so you can understand absolutely everything about your own alignment.

What does it mean to have a north node in Taurus?

Astrologer Steph Koyfman says a North Node in Taurus means you generally have a strong desire to find stability, peace, and a sense of calm. This desire can last a lifetime, and it often comes from a place of emotional volatility or hunger. Additionally:

You may be artistic, epicurean, or pleasure-oriented because you have a compulsion to produce things of beauty.
You may be driven by a motivation to acquire material comfort and wellbeing that can veer towards materialism and excess.
You may become overly reliant on security and stability, which then requires you to relinquish control at other times in your life in order to keep growing and evolving.

Your life purpose is to make a name for yourself independently. Your soul is no stranger to less-than-healthy relationships and dependencies, especially in your past lives—you might have relied on someone else financially, or never quite had the opportunity to live life for you and you alone. That’s where your Taurus north node comes in—it’s reminding you that your life is your own, and that it’s your time to achieve independence in all aspects of your life.
- Just as your Sun sign represents your core personality and your Moon sign symbolizes your hidden emotional side, your north node also signifies a key aspect of your identity.^{[1]

Your south node falls in Scorpio. If your north node represents your ultimate potential and destiny in your current life, your south node embodies both the struggles and blessings that you carry with you from your past lifetimes. With a Scorpio south node, you may struggle with keeping certain aspects of your life a bit too secretive and private—your ultimate challenge is learning how to push forward, grow, and open up a little more.^{[4]

- A south node in Scorpio often implies that your family has a few skeletons in the closet that you’d rather other people not know about.
- Your north and south nodes aren’t physical objects or planets, but rather opposite points on the Moon’s orbital axis.^{[5]
  X
  Research source} Both nodes are contingent on one another—they have to do with your habit patterns and the success of your actions based on these habit patterns (or the lack of success, based on the south node).^{[6]

Advice to Live Your Best Life

1
Put yourself out there and seek your own opportunities. You’re more than capable of making a name for yourself based on your skills and merits—the key is taking that first step and looking for a chance to prove yourself. Take your time searching for jobs that seem like a good fit your skills and knowledge base, and let your career grow from there.
- If your circumstances allow for it, give yourself several weeks to find a job listing that’s a really perfect fit for you. The first job opening you find isn’t automatically the best one!
2
Take things slow and pursue life at your own pace. In today’s hustle and bustle world, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the rush and unspoken need to complete things as quickly as possible. Instead, look for ways to slow down and really savor each moment in life, even as you search for new opportunities. You might:
- Go for a peaceful walk outside
- Spend time with your friends and loved ones
- Take time to laugh more
- Do deep breathing exercises and other relaxation techniques^{[7]

3
Set clear boundaries with the people in your life. It can be challenging to establish boundaries when it comes to your friendships and relationships—but this is an important way to stay independent and true to yourself. Let the people in your life know what you are and aren’t comfortable with, and make them aware when they cross your boundaries.
- You might let your significant other know that you aren’t comfortable with them paying for every meal, or tell a friend that you feel a little smothered when they spend a lot of time at your place.
At the end of the day, your mental, emotional, and physical health have to be your number one priority. Check-in with yourself and see if your daily activities and routine give you fulfillment, or if they leave you feeling a bit drained and burned out. It’s perfectly possible (and healthy!) to put yourself first before putting yourself on the line for others.

Focus on open communication and trust in your relationships. If your north node falls in Taurus, the top priority in your love life is developing a dedicated, trusting, and long-term relationship that will last for years to come. Try to get in the habit of communicating openly with your partner about how you’re feeling, and using I-statements to convey your thoughts and feelings in a reflective and non-confrontational way.
- I-statements allow you to own your feelings without putting the other person on the defensive.^{[8]

When you’re a Taurus north node, it can be scary to accept the fact you are inherently worthy of love, instead of having to work for or “earn” it.^{[9]

Research source} You deserve love just by being who you are—there’s no special task you need to complete in order to become “worthy.”

Foster a healthy sense of independence and self-reliance. During your past lifetimes, you seemed to frequently fall into relationships where you were totally dependent on your partner. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with relying on someone else, it’s important to have your own sense of individuality, too. Here are a few ways to be a little more independent:
- Take some time to yourself away from your partner
- Support your partner’s hobbies and pastimes that you don’t participate in
- Spend time with your friends and loved ones^{[10]
