Natal North & South Nodes, Karma, Past Lives & Soul Path
This weeks podcast is a day late because The Dominion wanted Sam to be brave and accept the lessons of a repeating cycle that's an opportunity for Growth (this took time to process, understand and then deliver!!). The symptom was stage fright and linked into creating this episode.
The complexities and relationship between karma/soul lessons, gifts and talents, growth and expansion, the balance of being of service to humanity while being of service to self.
Sam shares what she’s learned about your natal North and South Nodes, and shares two personal N&S Node stories… what’s she’s learned from a past life (South Node), how it is forming choices in her life today, how it is moving her forward (uncomfortably as is meant to be) in alignment with soul purpose in this life (future path of self is North Node).
Spirit loves to push comfort zones and there’s been a lot of processing this week in order to see the meaning of current fears, transcend the fear, honour vulnerability and lean into growth in order to uplevel.
It’s useful to understand your nodes, because in most cases, your life becomes more harmonious once you start to act out your north node more, use the wisdom attained from the south node, and master the lessons your soul wants to learn in this incarnation.
We do hope you enjoy the show and are inspired to learn something else about your past lives in relation to your present and future and studying your placement of the Natal Nodes.
Happy learning, healing and growing
Blessings

Episode Transcript
Hey, lovelies, welcome to this week's podcast episode. It's wonderful to have your energy with me here today. And this podcast is a day late. And I want to share the story with you as to why it is late. Because I had a bit of a wobble. And it's been a bit of a vulnerable few days. This is a bid to give you some idea of how the soul and the physical body is doing its best to work in alignment with each other. And yeah, I hope that you find some message, some resonance, some relatability to what I'm about to share.
So firstly, there's a lot going on, on a planetary basis at the moment. Jupiter's gone back retrograde into Aquarius. Saturn is already in Aquarius so that alignment with Jupiter is going to run for most of the rest of the year. And in relation to that, it's going to call you to review what you were doing the back end of last year up into February 2021. Any beliefs, any stories, anything that was going on in your life, where you made new choices, made new decisions, it's going to the theme of that, it is going to come around again for you just to re-review where you're at with it.
And as I'm sharing this, The Dominion are showing me a paper bag. And so you were fighting out of the paper bag, seeking freedom, seeking change, seeking love around a situation in your life at the back end of last year into February 2021. And so you reset, you learned some lessons, you reset yourself and came back to a more empowered place, gathered strength, created a new pathway for yourself.
And you're coming back around again because Jupiter's all about transformation, all about ascension it wants you to grow and wants you to expand. And so it's like you've found yourself in a new paper bag, one that was more accommodating for you when you reset at the end of last year and into February.
And now you're being asked to just check to see whether that metaphorical paper bag is fitting again because it feels like you will want to burst out of that again and just reset a few things, review and reset. So that's a big, big, big, big, big planetary thing going on between now and the end of the year.
Now I want to talk about your natal chart, and particularly your north node and your south node because these nodes relate really strongly to your soul where it's been and where it is going.
As I say, this episode is a day late, I had a really intense case of stage fright this week, when it came to coming up with a topic for this episode. And trusting the content and creating it and then publishing it. Given that we are souls; we are operating from a place of love, the body and the mind can operate from a place of fear, you know, the ego can want to keep us safe in a pattern, the soul wants growth the soul wants Ascension, it wants you to fulfill your destiny that you've come here on Earth to fulfill.
So you're gonna get this 'rub'. And this week for me, I felt like I was in a bit of a, you know, a bit of a tug of war between my old self, my ego self and my growth self.
And funny, we see this as parents, if you're a parent, you'll understand this, your children suddenly have an off-day or an off-couple of days, and we go, "oh, it must be a growth spurt".
It's the same kind of thing that you witness yourself. This irritability, this crisis of confidence, this self judgment, critiquing your abilities.
Anyway, so I have in my natal chart, a lot of planetary shifts. At the moment, there's a lot of planets and transits dynamically overlapping each other. And we're in the season of Leo. And we also have this transit, this alignment going on between Jupiter in Aquarius.
Now, I have been doing a little bit of research on understanding what this is all about, and I happened to stumble across some information about my Nodes. And before I go there and explain a little bit about what that's all about, and I'm by no means an expert, but I think this is going to offer up some, you know, some insights for you.
So when you know what signs are in your north and south nodes, and you know the traits of the signs, and you know which past lives are relevant to you, by going into your akashic records in terms of the karmic lessons (so your South node), and what you're here to accomplish, and the path to take (which is the north node), when you put it all together, you have a complex, yet rather lovely roadmap that you can take yourself down, you can follow.
But add in energy healing, such as Sieveille, and you can quickly, very quickly clear the roadblocks, every time you meet a challenge or fear.
This topic on Nodes and Soul Journey is huge, and we're only really scratching the surface of it today. And as I say, I am no astrologer. But I do know a lot about soul, and I know about soul growth. I know about soul challenges and about karmic patterns.
Anyway, anyway, anyway, there is such a huge benefit to knowing what your past lives are, how that relates to your Nodes. These are points, like mathematical points rather than planets or stars. They're points that are linked into your moon.
So your north node and your South nodes are related to your soul path, your karmic path, your soul destiny.
Your north node is where you are going. It's where you're expanding to, where your soul wants you to grow into, your path, this is your destiny. And with that, there's obviously lessons to learn, things to overcome, things to enjoy in that process. So this is your soul expansion.
Your South node is where you've been before. So this is in this current life and it's also in your past lives. So anything that you have experienced where your soul has has been, and what it has learned, what it hasn't learned, what it has overcome.
So, in essence, the South node is where you've been before, and there is an element of that being quite comfortable. Been there, seen it, done it, I know it, I'm familiar with it. The physical body likes familiarity, so it feels safe. That doesn't mean that it's a good place to be. But there's definitely lessons and wisdom from the south node that that you can carry through to help you to develop in your north node.
So they go hand in hand, they're not separate to each other, each one is complimentary to the other.
What we want to be doing and what the soul wants is to be looking forwards, to the north node aspect which is where your soul is growing into.
And it just so happens, we are in this heavily Aquarian energy, we're in the era of the Age of Aquarius now. And we're also in Leo season.
Here's the thing... My north node is Aquarius, my South node is Leo. You can look up where your north and south nodes are, you can just google "what are my north and south nodes"?, and you get a whole load of information through on Google to check out.
I believe that the nodal transits happen every between 12 to 18 months. So interestingly, let's just say for example, your partner and you have have a birth date, that's that's relatively close to each other within a year or whatever, you would possibly have the same nodal aspects. As your nodes are all about your soul karma, it's also linked into a lot of subconscious.
So you may have selected yourselves to be on the same nodal path before you've reincarnated here on this earth at this time, anyway. So I have this overlapping thing going on with my nodes and planetary alignments. What it's done is it's forced my fears to come up, so I can look at them, I can heal them, so I can learn from them.
I want to really give you an example of a North node and South node aspect from my unique story, Because we all have our unique story. My story is not going to be the same as your story.
When I think about North and South node, my north node is Aquarius, my South node is Leo. And, you know, if you're into astrology, you'll know what those traits are. I'll share a little bit about that with you in a moment. My husband also has his north and south nodes the same as me, and when I look at his soul mission and the threads that he has to overcome, in relation to the traits of of Leo and the growth opportunities with Aquarius, he's destiny is very different to mine.
I can see where we harmonise and support and help each other to grow. But I can also see far better what his challenges are and what he's overcoming compared to my own. And this is the thing with our own healing work with our own spiritual journey is that we have blind spots, and it's so much easier for other people to spot it for us.
Such a beautiful thing, it's it's pretty, pretty exciting. But anyway, let me give you an example of the north node and South node for me. So the South node is out karmic threads. It is our past lives, it's the things that we've learned. It's the challenges we've already overcome in the past. So it can land us in a bit of a comfort zone in terms of the themes of our past and our history.
So have a look at where you find yourself playing it safe, where you might keep yourself small, where you might hide out, where you choose the familiar roads rather than the more complex or uncertain roads.
So this is your South node influence and that links into a past life. So for me, my South node is in Leo. I can see where I have been in a place of Looking after self first, putting self and the ego self before the good before the greatness of humanity of the collective of humankind, which is the Aquarius (that's the north node). South node is in Leo is all about "where am I looking after myself, Where have I used my personality in the spotlight, to command to oversee to be a power, but to also being recognised and appreciated for that?" "Where have I previously or in a past life, where has notoriety been important to me?" "Where has it been something that I've really, really needed?"
Now, because I've been into my Akashic Records, because I've done a lot of this work. I know that in this life, I am linking this with my North node. Particularly, I know that this directly links me to my life as a Roman warrior, where I managed & governed an army. And in that scenario, I don't know what my north and south node was, at that point, but I know what the lessons are around that.
I was cut down through my throat, not being able to voice and shout orders, command my army, I was cut down because I broke my jaw in battle. And I was sent into, well I probably sent myself into seclusion. But I wasn't any use anymore. The leader of an army, you know, managing many, many 1000s of men. I had notoriety in that position, but then it was taken away from me through trauma of the jaw and voice. In this life, I recognise why I am seeing that past life right now. Because it's teaching me that I have now learning the lesson that I don't need notoriety to be successful, if I'm to transcend to my north node, which is Aquarius is all about humanity first. It's about the majority, it's about the people, it's about championing the man.
And so, for me, my lesson, knowing my past life, knowing that information, I know that I'm here to transcend the self and the power and the notoriety for just sharing, just sharing gifts, just sharing what I know, sharing my ability to alchemise energy to be able to read people's bodies to be able to help them to shift. Because when I'm doing that, and I don't need any notoriety for it, you know, that's not what I'm here to learn and experience, I'm here to learn to be okay with not needing notoriety for it, because I used to have notoriety in that past life.
Can you see how it's linked?
So I'm here now just to put put it out there, put it out there. Although I feel on some level that there is a sense of wanting to be small, because my identity was really killed off in that past life, for having my jaw broken, not being able to speak. And this is a beautiful example of how so many, oh so many different threads run through. There are many lessons, there are many learnings, there are many things to be really hyper aware of that help you to navigate how you move forward. That is just one thread. One really strong thread that's come through this week is that I've just got to continue to share widely (via a podcast!).
And so I can feel the fear coming up. Because this past life, and my nodal transits happening at the moment, Leo and Aquarius very strong planetary alignments at the moment, are calling me to review this and my highest self says please don't be afraid, we're here to help you to transcend another level of fear so that you can go out there, you can go out there and spread the love, spread the energy, high vibrational energy, alchemise, help people to transform, help them to move from fear to love, on a humanitarian level, on a positive basis. Whereas, in that past life, look at it from this perspective, as somebody responsible for a huge number of men that wanted to go into War for authority, you think about the Roman Empire, you know, there's a lot of people that were cut down that was slayed or whatever, for not being part of that culture, that religion anyway, so this is just an example of how this energy plays out for learning.
Once you know, once you put the pieces of the jigsaw together and you know what your significant past life is and how it relates to your future destiny. It's like putting the notes together for a brand new song. To know all the notes creates this harmony, which means that you can move much more flowingly into your destiny and enjoy. And knowing that you're going to get the fears coming up, the fears are useful. The fears are lessons, the fears are messages that you that are inviting you to act on. So you are learning something different. You're learning something different about yourself, and you're being being guided towards more love, more expansion, more possibility, and more remembering of who you already really are and what you're here to do.
So I'm really feeling strongly this week that I'm being asked to uncover this fear of shying away, this fear of being ridiculed, being called out. Having spent some time with it this week, I made space to understand the message of what this is all around for me.
Spirit always wants you to take action, right? This podcast episode, it may be a day late, but it's still going out. And I still have a level of stage fright. I'm not 100% over it. But we're here to do it anyway. Because that, on a physical level, is the way that we can overcome our fears.
And it's the way that Spirit then goes, Oh my goodness, you've done that, let's bring more opportunities your way. Let's test this. Let's see how you can truly embody this lesson so that you can be of greater service, so that you can align more to your dreams and manifest what it is that you are calling in for your soul in this life.
So that's one soul thread on this South node around Leo. There is another thread that is linked to an another past life that is coming through for me as well in relation to this Leo South node that is asking to be to be reviewed and healed at this time, another level.
I had a past life, I've had many past lives as a healer, but I have had a particular past life as an alchemist. And I would go out and speak to the stars and the planets and I would communicate telepathically through light language. And I did this covertly, I wasn't allowed to be public with it. Because if I did, then I would have been cut down persecuted. See, there's a real strong theme this week for me about being cut down.
I would potentially have been killed for my beliefs, you know, and so therefore that meant that I didn't get rewarded and credited financially for my gifts and talents. And so I remained poor. And I was kind of kept by someone else, my husband. And so anything that I ever did was was aligned with somebody else's authority, his, somebody else's rules, it was a very patriarchal energy.
And in this life, part of my speaking up, part of this sharing, this energy is to change the perception around healers, and to be the, you know, the cheerleader for healers. And I guess by saying that, for women in general, in terms of us making our own roles, creating our own lives, being open and public with our gifts and talents, making our own money, being independent, being able to look after self. The Leo aspect... what about me, I need a need some appreciation?
I need to be seeing how I transcend that in the north node. It's that I'm here to learn that it's not necessary for me to be valued by others that I'm just to share anyway, and not hold myself back. whether or not there's patriarchal systems, whether there is beliefs, or judgments by others around money, how much you should earn, how much you shouldn't, whether you should just be doing it for free, because you know, you're giving, you're a healer... because that's the old story.
There is an energy here for me and a cheerleading here for me around healers now coming from an empowered place, an independent place, a worthy place, worthy of the abundance that they deserve. Because their skills and talents as a healer, are just off the charts, they have the potential for huge exponential transformation for people, transforming people's lives. People's lives won't be the same after they've received healing. We know that, I know that you potentially know that if you've been and received healing from a healer, whatever type that healer is, whoever that healer is, whatever they do, it changes your life. So let's, as a healer, go from feeling like a victim of consequences, feeling a victim of peoples circumstances, our own circumstances where we've put ourselves into an disempowered place. Now, it's like, I'm in charge. I have soul sovereignty, I get to choose where I work, how I work, what income I receive from my work.
This is a huge, huge, huge, huge passion of mine. And over the years I've helped other healers to trust themselves, back themselves and value themselves to the point where they have received the income that they deserve for the work that they do.
And for me, I know that that is a very strong theme in my north node Aquarius, all about serving and helping humanity. But I know that because I didn't get paid for my work in a past life, because I was persecuted for my skills and talents in a past life. I know that there is still healing to do around that. And I've brought that into this life. And the universe always sends you tests to see if you are still aligning with the lesson that you've just learned.
And here's a classic example for me, you know, I have had people come to me requesting information about my products and services, wanting support, wanting some help. And one of my empowered lessons is that I don't have to work with people if I don't want to. And so I've had to spend a bit of time identifying and living by my own values and beliefs that are aligned with what I've set out for myself for this, in this incarnation.
You know, I've done the disempowered feeling around not being paid for what I do for not being allowed to be public for what I do. I've transcended that. So now I get to choose, I get to choose who I want to work with who I can help. In the past, I would have opened my arms, you know, as healers, we are very open, we want to be supportive. We want to help as many people as we can. But we end up not aligning ourselves to our full value and appreciation. We just take on everyone and anything we can get.
Well, how about an empowered place being... what choices can I make for myself that are good for me right now (and serving others)? This is for me, big combining this with my Aquarius north node at the moment, it's coming in strongly, and also being aware that my south node and my empowered soul self gets to choose who they want to work with, according to their boundaries and values.
And I one of my values is that I would Love to help everybody. I, the old way says yes, I can help everybody, I want to help everybody, it's really important for me to help everyone. That crushed my soul in some ways, not always, but I could really feel the intensity of the rub of that and of course it didn't feel good.
So, in alignment with my passion to ensure that healers, I'm setting the energy for healers to receive everything that they deserve. I'm also aligning myself to the fact that I have a value and if somebody isn't 100% committed to working on to improving their health and well being, being on their ascension journey, and they're not committed fully 100%, energetically, financially, discipline wise, etc, then, a value of mine is that I'm quite happy to let them go.
To offer/suggest that they find someone else that can work with them, addressing their needs for what they need. I'm not the right healer. It is taken me a lot of contemplation and energy to get to that point. Because in terms of my past life healers, I haven't been able to heal everybody, help everybody, because I haven't been allowed. So let me do it now.
This is the tug of war!
So that is just a couple of examples. There are a few more, but this podcast could go on forever. And I just wanted to give you a little bit of a taster around the importance of the north and south node. So that you can go and have a look at what your north and south node is, and begin to work with that as well.
But I'm beginning to see more profoundly this week through the clearing that I've been doing is that this is taking me to Sieveille, and what I'm expanding into more greatly there. And with Sieveille, I had never known what I know now this time last year of course, where I am able to read and see into people's bodies, to be able to speak to their bodies, to be able to help them overcome their energy, so that they can grow more into their souls destiny.
I knew on some level this time last year that that Sieveille was coming into my being but I just did not know how it was going to play out. And so what's happening with the nodes at the moment is it's helping me to strengthen my connection with Sieveille energy so that I can help humanity (north node Aquarius), with humanity's ascension.
Plus, we've got quite a lot of upgrades going on. We have the 8/8 portal 8th August portal coming up. If you think about that, your body is a circuit board and there are some DNA upgrades going on. And so in order to allow those upgrades in, we're needing to purge and heal and align and really go through some big leaps.
This is just my personal story in relation to what's going on in the universe, you will have your own personal story as well. Until you actively work on the purging and healing, the body just can't function with these new DNA upgrades that are coming through this month. It is such a huge month.
Where we move from victimhood, from entrapment, from poverty from persecution, through past lives, letting go of judgments, letting go of shame, moving from fear to love. It is going to be lumpy and bumpy. But we are going there anyway.
I'm honoured, I'm blessed that I'm able to bring through past lives worth of wisdom and skills where I can read people's bodies, I can read their records, and I can help them to move from fear to love. And so if you feel like you want to explore your north and south node, explore your subconscious, look at your karmic patterns, have a look at the past lives and how that relates to where you are currently now and where you want to go. Just get in touch. I'm gonna leave a link in the show notes to book A reading, where we will align that reading with your north and south node so you can can, can progress through the next few months with more ease and grace, having learned the lessons and being more, more more and more aware.
If you're feeling guided to do this work for yourself, there are three questions that you can ask at this point relating to your north and south nodes.
These are the questions
What am I here to do in my life?
What was I in a past life?
And what is my mission?
You can ask that of yourself in meditation, you can open your own records, if you know how to do that. You can clear the energies, you can shift your energies, if you know how to do that, once you've got some idea of what the answers are to those questions, so that you can learn and clear and move ahead. Learning more about your past lives, and the lessons that you've learned in your past lives, they fuel your mission and purpose in this life. That's why it's so becoming, it probably has for a long, long time, but I'm just really seeing it, and my clients are seeing it strongly now is that knowing about your past lives propels you much more quickly towards where you want to go, and what you're destined to be doing in this life.
This podcast episode, I didn't know how this was going to go out today. And I know for many of us, me included, it's not always natural and easy to open up and to be vulnerable. And to talk about this, kind of personal stuff, these Root Chakra things... safety, security, money, independence, but it's taken a few days for me to move through this. First off to identify that this is what wanted to be talked about, secondly, to take a big deep breath to say, okay. I know that there is a purpose, there's a higher purpose to sharing this, and I know that by sharing and being vulnerable, and to open up myself to the fear of being maybe not liked, maybe receiving a judgment on what I'm about to say, any of those energies and more.
But it has a purpose, and I know it's useful. And when you work for spirit, and they say you need to go and do this, it's a case of trusting in the process.
So I hope that this has been really useful for you today. Drop me a line, share your own stories. I'd love to hear them. And I hope that this has inspired you, has opened up some channels of contemplation and of growth and of healing for you. Where there's fear, there is potential for so much more love. I'm just passionate about helping others to be able to overcome their fears as well.
And so if I can do this, you can do this.
What is it that you're here to do?
Alright lovelies, I hope you have a beautiful rest of your week. Thank you for listening.
And I will see you again soon.
Take care
