Rahu in Capricorn
Pavlo Globa. Planets in the Zodiac Signs
In your past life, you worked through the program of Cancer, meaning you must renounce dependence on traditions, home, family, infantile complexes, and harmful habits, as well as excessive sensitivity. You should sever ties with the roots that bind you, free yourself from conservatism, abandon the retrospective path, favoritism, attachment to a single place of residence, nationalism, racism, and false patriotism. You must rely on the best traits of Cancer—tradition; your home and security must be ensured. The path along the North Node signifies a desire for clear awareness of goals, dynamic progressive development. You should cultivate purposefulness, suppress excessive emotions, strive for self-restraint and asceticism in the name of a higher goal. You need constant concentration of thought, continuous self-improvement, straightforward paths, and high demands on yourself—you must not stop at anything and must see things through to the end. You must always strive for a higher goal and feel solid ground beneath your feet. However, you must then abandon that solid ground—it is only a step for you, necessary for further growth (Capricorn jumps from one cliff to another, and a jump is a detachment, so you must learn to let go of what hinders you from pursuing a higher task). Of course, the path of informal leadership is essential for you; you must inevitably be an example for others. In general, you are shown the position of a maximalist: to fully express yourself and demand the utmost from others. Personalities: Indira Gandhi (67 years), Dante (56 years), J. Kennedy (46 years), Leonardo da Vinci (67 years), L. Beria (54 years), M.V. Lomonosov (53 years), G.Kh.

Avesalom Podvodny. Planets in the Zodiac Signs
This individual is learning how to achieve maturity. In past incarnations, they viewed life through rose-tinted glasses, seeing only what they wanted to see, with the conviction that nothing else existed. Now, they remain, in many ways, a “child,” left in their South Node in Cancer. They are accustomed to struggling with their subordinate position while seeking support, so their present life is the ruins of escapist, childish habits that continue to complicate their growth. Truly, this is an eternal child who desperately wishes to retain the role of the center of parental attention. They would prefer for everything to be decided for them by their parents. Everyone they meet or know—whether a friend, business partner, or marriage partner—automatically becomes their symbolic father, gathering the fragments of their misfortunes and shielding them from blows. They are even capable of imposing illness upon themselves if others claim the love and affection they desire. Constantly attempting to become an adult, they never seem fully ready to make this transition. For some reason, they continue to feel they need far more practice. Everything they do in this life is based on the soul’s memories of the subtle feelings of past lives, which are still shattered by the slightest rejection. Many people with such a Node position are deeply involved in the affairs of their country. They embody the government because, for them, it is part of (in a broader sense) their own Cancer family. They possess an extraordinary sense of patriotism and devotion. Many individuals with such a Node position channel a significant portion of their strength and attention toward young people. They enjoy listening to others’ struggles and misfortunes but, unable to resolve problems quickly, keep everything inside. Under the weight of accumulated issues, they seem to age despite their years.
The most challenging karmic problem of the South Node in Cancer is the art of liberation. The individual brings into this life a fear of losing or forgetting something and strives with all their might to preserve everything they have ever experienced. Thus, they make themselves a “psychic garbage dump” of the past. They repeatedly analyze the present in light of what they did years ago—or “in a past life.” They can often be seen poring over old photographs, hoping to build the future from fragments of the past. At times, they exhaust others by using everything done for them as a springboard to demand more. They test others’ patience by presenting their emotional problems and refuse to see logic through the veil of their emotions. They are less interested in understanding why something went wrong than in reclaiming lost feelings. Completions are especially difficult for such individuals. The word “farewell” has never been part of their vocabulary, as they always try to prolong relationships for as long as possible. They also cling for a long time to objects and nostalgic memories they carry.
The primary karmic lesson for a person with the North Node in Capricorn is the identification with an ideal greater than life itself. The individual must finally learn to stand for something, regardless of all real or imagined difficulties. They must understand what true responsibility means. Many people with such a Node position appoint themselves guardians of traditions. They would rather die than allow an outsider to learn about any part of their life that contradicts the principle they uphold. Through the North Node, an image is established that others may respectfully look upon and later model their lives after. The individual must support this image even at the cost of their own life. For the most part, they strive to become methodical and cautious if they learn to overcome excessive emotional reactions.
In women’s charts, such a Node position represents an extraordinary search for a parental figure. In men’s charts, such Nodes speak to the awareness of the need to fulfill a parental role. The most important feature of the South Node in Capricorn is that it represents the point at which the individual will encounter their karmic mission. For this reason alone, many people with such a Node position reluctantly accept the full concept of adulthood. They would prefer to remain in an immature state for as long as possible because they sense the verdict awaiting them. Like a condemned person seeking a stay of execution, they try to hide behind others, constantly pushing themselves to the brink to avoid facing the consequences of all they have created. This is why many of them struggle to acknowledge their own chronological age. They openly agree with it but attempt not to conform to it. The person remains immature. The soul has become fixed at a certain point of early growth, and it is difficult to move past it. Yet, they will move past it if the individual finally stands up for something.
The zodiacal constellation of Capricorn is the gate through which the soul must pass when leaving the physical body, and in this most occult of all signs, they will stand before the Judge—but this may not be the final incarnation on Earth. Depending on their house position, they will receive a karmic verdict in one of the spheres of life. An individual with such a Node position (Cancer-Capricorn) will be helpless for half of their life, but one day they will be able to say, “This is the best thing I have ever done.”
The position of the South Node in the house indicates the sphere in which residual immaturity seeps into the current life. The position of the North Node in the house shows the ways in which the individual can now enter responsible adulthood, structuring their life according to principles of honor, respect, and tradition. Once they learn how to do this, they are destined for brilliant achievement.

This individual is learning how to achieve maturity. In past incarnations, he viewed life through rose-colored glasses, seeing only what he wanted to see, with the conviction that nothing else existed. Now he is still, in many ways, a “child,” left in his South Node in Cancer. He is accustomed to struggling with his subordinate position while seeking support, so today his life is in ruins of escapist, childish habits that continue to complicate his growth.

He is even capable of imposing illness upon himself if others claim the love and affection he seeks. Constantly preparing to become an adult, he never seems quite ready to make the transition. For some reason, he continues to feel that he first needs much more practice. Everything he does in this life is based on the soul’s memories of the subtle feelings from past lives, which are still shattered by the slightest rejection.
