Charts where the natal north node is at 0-degrees Aries…..these charts absolutely fascinate me. This is because when you have your north node at 0-degrees Aries, your draconic chart is exactly the same as your natal chart. Since the nodal axis deals with the soul (what the soul is comfortable & familiar per the south node and one of the soul missions in this lifetime per the north node), it would stand to reason that this type of situation would cause THIS lifetime to be very important to the native (along the course of ALL the lifetimes that the native experiences). What could this mean? Lets explore some ideas 🙂

*Natal North Node at 0 degrees Aries*

When a person has their natal north node at 0-degrees Aries, this causes ones draconic chart to look the same as their natal chart; all of the planets and aspects are conjunct when doing an overlay between the two charts. The closer that your natal north node is to 0-degrees Aries, the more similar the natal and draconic charts will appear. In the context of a this blog post I’m talking about people who have their natal north node either at 0-degrees Aries or conjunct the Aries Point within 5 degrees applying & separating. There are some theories that I have about what this can mean for the person who has this in their natal chart (and mind you, these are all just theories that feel like they might be right). When studying these types of charts together there isn’t a whole lot out there … so I figure I’d throw my ideas out there into the fray. 

I have seen it mentioned various places that having your Natal North Node at the Aries Point could mean things like:
-Since the Aries point is considered the beginning of a new cycle, it could mean this is your first incarnation in this realm, or that even though you’re soul is in this realm, you have somehow ascended to another level of consciousness in this lifetime (thus starting a new cycle, but not being a “new” soul).
-People that have their north node at 0 degrees Aries are essentially getting a “do-over” life in this incarnation. Since some astrologers believe that the draconic chart is the natal chart of ONLY the native’s most recent past life, it would make sense to think that maybe both charts (the natal & draconic) are the same because something happened in their past life to where they weren’t able to complete their souls mission that time around, that something cut that lifetime short. Thus getting the opportunity in this life to be the same kind of person to try and rectify this and complete their soul’s mission from the previous lifetime.
-The Aries Point holds a lot of power in general, and having ones north node here may incline the person to have a powerful sort of destiny that their soul wishes to act on and act out in this lifetime……if they choose to act on this destiny and desire, that is.
*All of the above seem reasonable to me. However, my ideas are below*

It seems that when one has this position in their natal chart, it causes the person to be exactly who and what they are on a soul level (the good and the bad and everything in between). There is no ‘natal-chart-of-this-lifetime-mask’ to be worn here; these people get the divine opportunity in this lifetime to be exactly as they really are. This makes a lot of sense (to me anyway), since I feel that the natal chart is the chart for a particular lifetime in human form, but the draconic chart is the chart for the soul across all time and space. There is a real vulnerability to this position that I have instinctively sensed, because like it or not… you are who you are. The people that I have known with this placement (and I’ve come into contact with several (myself included)) tend to be “what you see is what you get” kind of people, and this does appear to intensify the closer to exact their natal north node is to 0-degrees Aries. I also feel that for these people this particular life is of paramount importance in their soul’s evolution, and where this evolution is supposed to take place will depend on the house the natal north node finds itself in (and of course, any aspects made). If the north node is one of the soul’s main missions for this lifetime, and the draconic chart is the chart of a native’s soul across all lifetimes, then it would make sense to me that in this lifetime the person is supposed to really accomplish things that the person really wants (on a soul level). 
-Something to take note of here: the nodal axis is retrograde more often than it is direct. If you use the mean node it will always average out retrograde. If you use the true node will bounce around between retrograde and direct (but it will be retrograde more often). Because of retrograde motion here, the END is 0-degrees Aries and the beginning is 29-degrees Pisces. This makes me think that there is definitely a beginning and end thing going on in this lifetime for these people (perhaps something both ending and starting up in this current incarnation). 

Anyone else have the north node at 0-degrees Aries in their natal chart? Anyone else studied it? If you have anything to add or comment, I’d love to discuss! 🙂
