Rahu in the 11th House

Frances Sakoian. Planets in Houses

Quality of role-playing is tested on stage. In tradition, this person values social roles and images of the “self” approved by ancestors and inherited from them. It is in mastering and skillfully using these roles that the person sees the unshakable foundation of their connection between their time and the past. In fashionable social trends, they seek and welcome new forms of group work, uniting people not for the purpose of achieving overly specific goals. Here, they are quite modern, and old forms of group work, and even the established concept of friendship, do not satisfy them. They seek friends among modern people and try to build relationships with them in a completely new way, which may result in certain costs, but still, being part of a group or simply being friends holds little interest for them, and there are usually few willing to do so. In their inner life, the foundation of the psyche consists of subconscious programs that support the performance of various roles and images of the “self”; these programs are very stable, and the person does not like to change or supplement them with new ones. They willingly master programs that ensure their participation in aimless groups and collectives without an obvious specific task to solve. In their life, there may be many different groups, but the roles they play in them will be roughly the same, and (karmically) they must carefully refine them and learn to flexibly combine them according to the needs of the current group.

Here the individual enters the current life remembering the lifestyle in which he was the sole creator. Now he continues to try to take the bull by the horns in order to restore the way of life to which he is accustomed. However, everything he tries to do is somewhat inappropriate in the given life circumstances. He tends to love affairs, considering them consolation and support for continuing his past life. What he often fails to realize is that through his love affairs he makes himself weaker, and instead of gaining strength from compliments and encouragement he develops dependency, and each compliment creates a need for the next one. Eventually, he makes himself so helpless that his behavior becomes hopelessly childish. He desperately wants to be loved, but the residue of sexual tension from the past life is so great that he often becomes preoccupied with what is truly important to him. He finds it very difficult to understand reality, because his life is a theater of actors, and his dreams are so romantic by nature that he becomes a true Don Quixote, chasing windmills. He believes in chivalry and can easily be deceived by a romantic halo. Desiring to be constantly assured that his arrival in life does not go unnoticed, he cannot take part simply as a member of the audience. For those who value him, he can be very generous and lavish, but in moments when he feels ignored, he will retreat into his easy dream world, trying to create a romantic adventure of the seventeenth century in which he will be the central character. In his constant search for self-fulfillment through amorous adventures, he may lose his way. He would like others to think of him as self-sacrificing, and when he engages in a love affair, he has to lose everything. Like the “King-Martyr” who sacrificed his throne to fulfill his love, this individual would like his adventures to be honored, approved, and even admired. His sense of self-worth from the past life is so great that he is not particularly pleased even by the thought of an illicit love affair; however, from time to time he engages in such an adventure only to prove his ability to sacrifice principle for what he considers at that moment to be the greatest love in the world. Essentially, he is a good person, and it would take serious flaws in the chart to find a harmful bone in the body.

In all the zodiac, his creative talents in relationships with children are unparalleled, since in heart he is a child himself. Regardless of the sign of his Sun, at some point in this life he will need to lean on someone stronger than himself. Through his North Node in the 11th house, he must learn the value of friendship. He must go beyond the boundaries of the physically possessive relationships of his past incarnations and cultivate with equal fervor the new selfless relationships that he is now forming. In this life, he learns how to pay more attention to the meaning of his dreams and fantasies rather than trying to strain his will against the current flow. In dreaming, he receives messages from higher guides and begins to telepathically understand the reasons for all his actions, but his desires are often so great that he refuses to accept what he knows to be true. If asked to give up something entirely in his life, it would only be his powerful willfulness, because here in the pride of his ego he is actually blocking everything he so desperately wants. Truly, he is his own worst enemy.

The individual with such a Node position suffers from an “embedded” dissatisfaction, as everything he creates through his South Node only makes him dream of more that he has missed. He would like to free himself from tangled and difficult situations, but he constantly falls from the frying pan into the fire. Before any growth can be achieved, he must learn to overcome the terrible dragon of the ego, which he has allowed to become his self-generating instrument of destruction. He must learn to see himself impartially, understanding that his life is like a river flowing under a bridge, from whose advantageous position he can look at it. His greatest trials are to resist the temptation to control the flow of this river, yet his greatest happiness arises when he can appreciate its beauty without interference. He feels, at least, one important experience—he must sacrifice his personal ego for the sake of honesty and justice for another. Only when he learns how to free himself from biased thoughts will he be able to achieve his highest goal. As long as he retains the slightest trace of pride in himself, all the power of his chart will be rejected by him. Even the possibility of a harmonious marriage looms beyond his reach until he becomes impartial.

The South Node in the 5th house uses so much energy trying to gain sympathy and compassion for himself that the individual finds it difficult to muster the strength to fully satisfy a marriage partner. Many people with such a Node position experience divorce, but this is neither fate nor inevitability. It is simply the result of misusing the energies of the South Node. Through too much focus on himself, the individual does not see or fully appreciate all the good that he has. The answer will be the same again. He must loosen his grip on the “self” and dedicate his life to selfless service rather than expecting others to serve him. If he can become less romantic and think more scientifically, he will begin to see the truth. He must never allow flashes of passion to cloud his vision, as happiness will only be achieved when he can look at life from an unbiased point of view. His karma is to learn how to become detached yet always available when needed by others. Ultimately, he is destined to become a selfless servant of humanity. At some point in this life, he will do much to advance the career of another person. Friendly ties, clubs, and societies will become important to him, as it is through such associations with others that he finally begins to feel his own individuality. Through the fact that others value him, he begins to value himself. Then he is able to see himself as part of others as well as part of the highest cause to which he has dedicated himself. The more he can do this, the more he will rise above the plane of self-awareness, and the needs to satisfy his own ego will sink into the collective cause of which he has made his individuality a part. When he completes this lesson, the strength of his character and sense of direction will be no weaker or less purposeful than the cause of which he has become a part.

The sign containing the South Node indicates the ways in which the individual allows too much residue of past passion and desire to press upon his present life. The sign containing the North Node indicates the ways in which he can develop sufficient detachment to free his “I,” giving him the opportunity to dedicate his energy to the greater good.

Frances Sakoian. The Nodes in Houses

The placement of the North Node in the 11th house indicates ease in forming friendly relationships and finding one’s place in groups and organizations. Awareness of modern trends and beliefs allows these individuals to easily form relationships with others on their own terms. On the negative side, they can easily be influenced, and their colleagues may pressure them to take part in matters that do not align with their interests. These people are usually friendly, with a sense of brotherhood toward all humanity. The position of the South Node indicates devotion to traditional values regarding social activity, the pursuit of pleasure, sex, and romance. These individuals may seem somewhat rigid, formal, and proper in social situations. They may believe they are too busy to stoop to trivial social matters and entertainments. Sometimes this position indicates a lack of romantic opportunities and disappointment in the search for romantic relationships.

Refusal of children. Such people have a certain deficiency: something is not quite right with love. You need to work with friends. A new direction, the organization of a new society. In this life, you are given the right to correct your own fate—you can break it however you wish. This position is a sign of great free will.
