Rahu in the 5th House
Frances Sakoian. Planets in Houses
Collectives know their members all too well. This person values and respects traditional forms and types of group work that have remained from the past, established types of relationships in aimless collectives (clubs, charities, guest reception ceremonies, forms of group leisure, holidays, etc.). In such forms of group activity, as well as in traditional ideas about true friendship that have historically developed, he sees a connection between social present and the past, and a foundation for the future development of society. On the contrary, in new social movements, he pays the most attention to those that offer opportunities for personal self-expression through various new roles and images of the “self” that the personality explores. In other words, he is concerned with what the new person will be like; he seeks it in modern plays, films, on stage, or simply in new fashion trends. In the inner life, the main subconscious programs of the person are those that support his behavior within an aimless collective, or, more broadly, within a collective whose purpose the person does not currently perceive. The new, most actively created subconscious programs relate to fulfilling certain roles and creating various images of the “self” (details will be shown by the aspects of the North Node). Thus, the person’s development is based on his strong orientation toward group work, toward expanding opportunities for personal creativity.

Usually, such people are not very intelligent, neglect prayers. In life, they suffer from excessive emotions or excessive romanticism. Their mind is not at peace; they have few, if any, children, or they lose children through miscarriages or abortions. Stomach ulcers or gas can be expected. They enjoy being entertained or have a competitive spirit.
Het Monster. Planets in Houses
The person will be intelligent, educated, but constantly worried: how to earn more, how to acquire more, etc. He may be unbalanced, foolish, or a sybarite; spiritual values interest him little. He either has no children or has problems or disagreements with them. He knows how to make relatives fulfill his whims but does not know how to win a partner: disappointment in love. If Rahu is poorly aspected, illnesses or hallucinations are possible. If Rahu is in Gemini or Virgo, the person will have children, and these children will become famous. He will maintain excellent relationships with them. He himself will achieve success in some form of art, sports, politics, etc. Difficulties in love arise from setting too high demands on a partner (as on himself). High sense of justice.
Martin Schulman. Lunar Nodes in Houses
Here you will learn about the Creative Process. You spend a lot of time in the clouds, “hitching your wagon” to some distant dream or wading through a multitude of your fantastic ideas. In past incarnations, you lived for the fulfillment of desires. Now, your web of delicate dreams is so adorned with the accumulated scent of promise that a significant amount of realistic nudging is needed to shake it off. From a young age, you learned to be a “connoisseur of people,” spending most of your conscious hours pondering the possible actions of others. As a result of past lives, you have become very inventive and developed a rich imagination; sometimes you are even masterful, but you are very accustomed to expending most of your mental energy crafting intricate plots of fantastic dreams. You never stop marveling at the bizarre things you can conjure in your imagination, yet despite all your inventiveness, you are one of the least practical people of the zodiac. You are always deeply entangled in your thoughts. What you are actually doing is searching for symbols that can provide new material for your future dreams. Your karma is to learn the importance of dreams, considering how they explain your life. Eventually, you begin to realize that your entire existence has consisted of playing out your dreams to the point where you have become a puppet of your own fantasies. When you come back down to earth, your first instinct is to reach out to friends who, by appearance or behavior, remind you of the characters from your delicate dreamland. Your mind constantly drifts into the distant future, and there, in the science fiction of an un-lived age, you indulge in the enchanting allure of possibilities that otherwise would have little bearing on your life today. You still love to ponder. You think a lot about the value of your work, as well as the influence of childhood, guilt, and both in the difficulties associated with sexual urges. To be honest, neither your work, nor your parents, nor even your sexual urges truly trouble you. Your frustrations arise from the chasm you see between the reality of your dream world from a past life and the harsh awakening circumstances through which your current life is actually unfolding. You struggle to understand why there is a barrier between dreams and action, and as a result, you expend much effort trying to break through the limiting walls that separate one world from the other. But all this time, you are wasting your power, and the more you do this, the less capable you become of creating your own life. You must realize that through your North Node in the 5th house, you are now given the greatest gift a person can receive—the power to create your own destiny. By studying the creative process, you can begin to realize that your own thoughts have brought about all the circumstances you consider real in your life. You must then go further, understanding the connection between your thoughts and dreams, for to a greater extent than you think, your dreams create your life on earth. You must learn to be responsible with your dreams and cautious about what you wish for, since more than any other person with a different Node position in the zodiac, you will actually see your dreams materialize. Yet the physical manifestation of any dream always arrives with a slight distortion, enough to make you aware of the danger of selfish creation. You will have to live out your dreams long after you remember their causes. A serious part of your ongoing karma is to understand the “power of desire,” and how better can you grasp this than by experiencing the consequences of all your desires? Thus, your life is both a blessing and a curse, for every time you rub the third lamp of Aladdin, your soul will either soar on the wings of inspiration or sink into the depths of your private hell. You learn that the dreams of your South Node in the 11th house are governed by Aquarius, where they should be dedicated to serving humanity, and the more you wish for others, the more you will ultimately have for yourself. But when you turn this process in the opposite direction, your life becomes true ruin. If you choose to create for yourself, you face the unhappy results of abusing the sacred gift, as your dreams will become stale and bring you no happiness. If these Nodes do not fall in water or earth signs, they can cause difficulties in relationships and marriage, stemming from a great past residue of lack of commitment. Major turning points in the current life revolve around children, through whom you come to understand a sense of self-worth. You observe how children turn their dreams into action, and soon begin to realize that instead of making your dreams plans for the future, you have actually allowed them to block every moment. When you present your dreams as a deep well, you can free yourself from castles in the air and focus your attention on what you are creating in the present. To do this, you must realize that through your great need for friendship, you are expending your creative energy. You most want to be a creator, but you will only be able to take life into your own hands after you abandon your dreams. You must literally take the bull by the horns instead of allowing yourself to be led through the fairy-tale world of Cinderella, which your soul recalls. To achieve this, you should spend much time learning self-discipline, for only through the ability to govern yourself will you ultimately be able to rise to the surface from the deep waters into which you have submerged your hopes and dreams throughout lifetimes. The sign containing the South Node indicates the ways in which past-life dreams carry over into this incarnation. The sign containing the North Node shows how you can constructively apply your dreams to reality through the creative expression of all that you feel. Some people with a highly developed soul with this Node position have experienced Cosmic Consciousness in a past life. Now, through their North Node in the 5th house, they must bring this awareness to the children of earth.
Frances Sakoian. The Nodes in Houses
This position of the North Node indicates devotion to modern tastes in entertainment, public activities, art, and attitudes toward romance and sex. The individual is likely to enjoy public popularity and have many opportunities for public pursuits, romance, and the pursuit of pleasure. The South Node in the 11th house indicates a sense of responsibility toward friends and associates. People with this position choose their friends carefully and loyally if the friendship is already established. They do not go along with the crowd just for popularity and recognition. They must be sure that the intention or goal of the group has meaning. Their restraint, experience, and objectivity in dealing with people often make these individuals discerning judges of character. However, they often feel lonely even in a crowd, as they are too selective in their choice of companions.
Larisa Nazarova. Karmic Astrology
Your Karma is children. Be fruitful and multiply. You must engage with children, the younger generation. Do not concern yourself with other people’s affairs, friends, or expect anything from the collective; collective problems are not yours.
