Want To Unlock Your Pupose? Look To Your North Node

One of my favorite tools for guiding clients toward their soul’s purpose and career is the North Node. Think of it as your personal North Star—pointing you toward the direction your life is meant to steer. In fact, my North Node has brought me here to this point in time, writing this blog and sharing its importance with you. My North Node is in Virgo, sitting in the 10th house, which means I’m here to build a public persona and legacy rooted in service, structure, and practical healing. Over the past decade of blogging, this journey has unfolded. I began as a typical Mommy Blogger around 2013. Still, as the years passed, my focus shifted toward health and wellness, and now, I’m fully stepping into my role as a soul purpose coach—bridging the gap between the practical and the spiritual.

Your North Node is your compass, and the more you lean into—or rather, grow into—it, the more aligned you become with your soul’s true path.

My Final Thoughts

The North Node can help lead you to what your soul signed up to master during this lifetime. There is so much wisdom in learning and discovering your North Node. Yes, your North Node may feel unnatural or even a little daunting and even downright scary, but it is called your Soul Purpose because it is something that you are moving toward throughout your lifetime.

Your North Node is not something you will master in a weekend at some retreat; it is your life’s work to move in its direction. The more you can keep putting yourself on your North Node “track,” the more the Universe will conspire to align things in your favor.

OX, Andie
