Rahu in Libra
Pavel Globa. Planets in the Zodiac Signs
Libra is the symbol of the mature Air element. This element shapes your sociability, communicativeness, and directness in communication. You have a sanguine temperament, are mobile, active, and unstable, prone to external influences. In your past life, you worked through the program of Aries, meaning that in this life you should abandon much of what is familiar to you: impatience, rudeness, excessive impulsiveness, aggressiveness, snobbery, and pushing others aside to rush forward. You must rely on Aries’ best traits, namely fearlessness, independence, and readiness to help others. You need to cultivate qualities associated with Libra, striving for balance, calm, justice, harmony in relationships with people and the surrounding world, and trying never to rush or get ahead of events. You must develop patience, kindness, and remember that all your actions should be measured, calm, and wise. Your main focus is on wisdom! Personalities: A. Modigliani (37 years), Pavel I (46 years), Ivan the Terrible (5 years), L.N. Tolstoy (82 years).
Larisa Nazarova. Karmic Astrology.
You must not rush forward, pushing everyone aside. Renounce rudeness, boorishness, aggressiveness, and snobbery. Strive for balance, order, peace, justice, and harmony. You must cultivate patience and kindness.

With the Nodes in this position, one must learn much about self-sacrifice and the needs of others. The experience of all past lives in the area of building self-confidence and respect must be passed on to others. The South Node in Libra holds the individual back from further enhancing a sense of self-identity. He must beware of a strong ego that influences his actions in the present life. His old position of “me first” now brings a sharp and painful experience as he learns the lessons of interaction. He must restrain his ardor and ensure that everything he seeks in marriage and close partnership, as well as in his relationships with others, is meaningful. He must learn to smooth the rough edges and to balance. While the middle path seems less attractive to him, it is still the only possible path to happiness for him. Ultimately, the person must realize that his strong probing individualism is not really meant for him but rather to better equip him so that he can provide others with a more harmonious life.
Many individuals with this Node position are stubborn and willful. Listening to others is new to them, and they find it uncomfortable and undesirable, feeling that it complicates their forward movement. In past incarnations, forward movement was very important, and the desire to get there first was part of the strong competition of Aries. This carries over into a certain closed mindset that the North Node in Libra will eventually open, showing the individual the other side of the coin that he never before considered important enough to acknowledge. Selfishness and vanity of all kinds must be curbed if the individual does not wish to find himself alone. Usually, he feels drawn to something but does not understand how or why. Through the North Node in Libra, he must now re-examine his aspirations and goals so that his Aries energy is invested in some useful purpose.
The individual often changes decisions, and loyalty to one cause is not among his fortes. Past incarnations have conditioned him to an impatient restlessness that still tends to keep him in motion. He knows he must give more than he receives in the present life, yet it is difficult for him to sincerely come to terms with such karma. The Martian quality of the North Node in Aries impatiently pushes him in new directions. However, upon arrival at each destination, he finds a fine Libran web in the middle of the seesaw and is surprised to see that the goal was neither a goal at all nor an end to the journey. Surprised and confused, he sits in the middle, trying to assess the circumstances that he hopes will point the way to his next successful journey. Yet every goal, every aspiration, every sprint and effort brings him to Libra—a halfway point! Finally, in complete exhaustion, he realizes that the second half of the journey involves other people. He must learn the karmic lesson that he is not alone. Until he learns to share, there will always be something that holds back his efforts. Ultimately, he will come to realize that winning or losing in the game is far less important than honesty in the game.
Many individuals with this Node position are overly self-confident and stubborn because in past lives they were selfish and fanatical. Now the circumstances have changed; it is time to put himself in another’s shoes. Many events of today’s life are painful blows to the ego. The individual must not be bitter seeing that many of his desires and needs are given to others. Initially, his natural reaction is jealousy. He wants to fight and defend all that he has lost; however, the more he fights, the more he loses. Ultimately, having exhausted much of his inner resources, he must subdue his selfish ego and acknowledge life in a world based on the necessity of sharing. Until he overcomes his South Node, his greatest disappointment will be witnessing other people receiving what he himself desired. He will find it difficult to realize that all his dreams, desires, and wishes at this time are meant for others. He mentally stirs the desires of those around him and ultimately becomes an instrument for their fulfillment. In truth, he earns his new place in the world by experiencing the karma of selflessness.
Yet the persistent urgings of the South Node continue to pull him back, often making him feel that he would rather not have learned this lesson. He should resist the tendencies of past life to ride the wave, as he is now able to see the disharmony between people without taking sides. Often, he finds himself in the position of an arbitrator. By helping others to become more objective, he is actually helping himself. The more he can motivate others to interact, the more he will learn to do so himself. Amid all the hustle and bustle, this individual learns to imagine the consequences of his actions before he takes them. Indeed, he must learn to look before he leaps—that is, not to be reckless! In many people with this Node position, there is a deep-seated irritation that stems from past life memories of frustrations that block self-expression. In this life, such people have a very pleasant appearance, which is part of the karmic lesson about vanity that the South Node in Aries must overcome here. Any remnant of self-love causes difficulties in marriage—it is a battlefield where the war must be waged between love for another person and one’s own needs.
It is difficult to achieve balance between Aries/Mars and Libra/Venus. The South Node in Aries constantly tries to assert its needs, while the North Node in Libra needs nothing for itself other than to love others, despite their demands. This individual can best feel love for others only after his own needs are met. Until the desires of past incarnations are overcome, his subconscious demands are so strong that he drains the energy of others, effectively putting them to sleep. Essentially, this person is a walking “anesthetic.” He constantly wonders why other people avoid speaking with him for more than a few minutes. He would like to talk for hours if he could keep the center of attention on himself. But in secret moments, he is deeply saddened by the feeling of loneliness and that his relationships with others are much shorter than he would like.
There is nothing subtle about this polarity of the Nodes. Happiness comes only after the person is forced to reassess his desires and finds that they involve other people. The selfish ego must be left behind. This brings increased sensitivity to the needs of others. The North Node in Libra is one of the most difficult to achieve because the selfishness of Aries looms as a huge obstacle that must be overcome. Still, the individual must overcome it to move on to a new cycle, and he will find the key to this new cycle when he begins to evaluate himself from the perspective of others.
The position of the South Node in a house indicates the area of life where the insatiable desires of past incarnations still require priority. The position of the North Node in a house shows how fulfillment can be achieved through self-sacrifice, cooperation, and the expression of selfless love toward others.

L. Nevidomska, Ye. Demyanova. Nodes and the Moon
It is beneficial for you to take an example from Libra, to learn from them objectivity and balanced judgment. Try to rid yourself of excessive impulsiveness, learn to live without fuss and haste, not rushing events—this way fate will grant you the gift of foresight. People with the Ascending Node in Libra must be extremely fair and balanced in their relationships with others. You can and should be active only when it is justified by the interests of other people (for example, the best profession for you would be a lawyer). Otherwise, every day you will find it harder to overcome fate’s obstacles, and any endeavors or undertakings will be delayed. Jules Verne, February 8, 1828, Ascending Lunar Node in Libra.
