This is the first review I have ever written for Amazon. I have to say that this book was so fabulous that I felt compelled to talk about it. It's truely insightful and so far everyone I have looked up in it feels it's accurate to the point of being spooky. I especially like the way that it gives you positive ideas to help you work on your path of being a better person. My friend liked it so much she got one for herself :) Hope this helps.

Once again the author has done a great job of presenting her material in a way that anyone can use and get something from it. The first part of the book guides you through the process of finding the position of your North Node ¡V which is what this book goes into exploring.
If the ¡¥North Node¡¦ sounds a bit frightening or alien... don¡¦t worry. Jan Spiller goes into explaining what this is, and what it means in a way that is easy to grasp.
There is a chapter titled ¡¥How to Use This Book¡¦ that explains what the North Node is as well as overviewing some definitions that are used in the book that will help you get more out of reading it. This chapter also covers an explanation of the Nodal Axis, signs and houses, duplicate sign/house positions, and also opposing sign/house positions.
The rest of the book is divided into each of the twelve zodiac signs and the Nodal placement in them... e.g., North Node in Aries, North Node in Taurus, North Node in Gemini, etc. Each of these chapters is divided further into the following subheadings:
ľ Overview
ľ Personality
ľ Needs
ľ Relationships
ľ Goals
ľ Healing Theme Song
The information given for each nodal position is clear and detailed. You only need to know what sign your North Node is in to get a lot out of this book ¡V and you have everything you need to figure that out in the first few pages of ¡¥Astrology for the Soul. Those of you with a deeper knowledge of your birth chart (i.e., house position of your North Node) will get even more out of this book.
This is an excellent book for the beginner.

"The sign in which the North Node falls denotes the psychological shift that need to occur within the personality. The house containing the North Node shows the experiences that allow the person to access this new psychological awareness...The South Node position in a chart (located at the point exactly opposite of the North Node) depicts an aspect in our character that has been overemphasized in past lives, and thus tends to take over the personality in this lifetime and throw us off balance. When we are acting without awareness, we tend to 'act out' the South Node position in response to our environment because we have been accustomed to that approach working to our advantage. However, in this lifetime, our experiences show us that approaching a situation from the stance shown by the position of the Southern Node of our chart is no longer working..." -- Jan Spiller in Astrology For The Soul
In her book Astrology for the Soul, astrologer Jan Spiller shows you the key to discovering your hidden talents, deepest desires, and the ways to avoid negative influences that may distract you from achieving your true life purpose, as revealed by the North Node of the Moon in your natal astrological chart. Although Spiller mostly uses the term North Node, she takes into consideration that the North Node exists in polarity with the South Node--and how they both manifest in our attitude, personality, and drive.
To discover your North Node, you need to generate a chart. You can do this by going to Astro.com Once you enter the birth time, date, and place a chart will be generated. Chart Drawing, Ascendant is where generated charts are stored. To find your North Node (NN) look for the glyph (symbol) that looks like a horseshow with curlicues on the end. The South Node (NN) will be in the House directly opposite the North Node, although it won't be pictured. The symbol for the SN is an inversion of the NN glyph. You also can also find your NN placement by gettng software like Mapping Your Birthchart.
In Astrology For The Soul each of the 12 Nodal positions are examined in areas like:
*Attributes to develop
*What these people really want
*Talents/Profession
*Healing Affirmations
*Personality
*Needs
*Relationships
*Goals
*Healing theme songs
Here is a small sample of Attributes to Develop for each of the 12 Nodal positions as described in this book:
Aries - Independence, trusting one's impulses, and self-nurturance
Taurus - Honoring expressed needs of self and others, forgiveness, and gratitude.
Gemini - Tact, logic, and listening.
Cancer - Empathy, humility, and accepting others flaws without judgment.
Leo - Individuality, self-confidence, and enthusiasm.
Virgo - Moderation, creating routines, and taking risks in spite of fears.
Libra - Cooperation, seeing through another's eyes, creating win/win situations.
Scorpio - Self-discipline, choosing constructive change, and enjoying high-risk situations.
Sagittarius - Patience, speaking from Higher Consciousness, and intuitive listening.
Capricorn - Self-control, self-respect, and letting go of the past.
Aquarius - Objectivity, desire for friendship, and active participation in groups.
Pisces - Compassion, surrending anxiety to a Higher Power, and welcoming change.
I highly recommend this informative book for releasing negative life patterns, embracing your strengths, and living a more centered and self-directed life.

Hello, I am a serious student of astrology, and I did not enjoy this book. It spoke too much of my previous life, and it is more copious than it needs to be. In addition, the author only talks about the nodes in signs and houses, and does not include aspects. The information provided is superficial and available for free on the Internet.
Email me if you have any questions or would like to discuss the book.

I have been interested in astrology all my life, and have recently begun in-depth study. As part of my journey in knowledge, I found I wanted to know a lot more about the North Node, and the message and lessons it imparts. Jan Spiller's book is giving me great guidance in this area. I highly recommend it to any astrological student, but especially anyone wanting to learn about the North Node.
