Taurus stands for the material side of our lives we experience with our five senses. It describes enjoyment, pleasure and indulgence, as well as luxury and sex. This zodiac sign also signifies our wants and needs in terms of material things as well as people and circumstances we want in our lives to feel comfortable. Taurus is stubborn and just wants to be. The taurians usually are laid back and grounded, as they are very connected to the worldly experience. Enjoying life is part of the purpose of a Taurus. Taurus is a fixed sign and linked to the planet Venus and the 2nd house.
The 10th house in astrology shows our life path in terms of career and social status. It brings to life the vision from our visions for our life from the 9th house. It is the House of the career ladder we must climb to reach our goals. This house also shows how we go about improving our life and social status by putting in the necessary work and commitment. The 10th house is linked to the zodiac sign of Capricorn and the planet Saturn.
Looking at a birth chart with the North Node placed in Taurus in the 10th house, we see a person who is striving for success in their career. Usually these people invest a lot of energy into finding their profession or occupation which is in line with their life purpose and vision from the 9th house. As the North Node brings a lot of excitement and motivation there will be a constant focus on career with these people. It is not unusual to see a rather bumpy road towards success with such placement. Depending on the planets with and aspects of the North Node the road differs from rather small changes of direction to total switching of careers numerous times. Because of Tauruses influence the way to success will get more smooth the older the person gets, or the more the person is headed towards the North Nodes placement. The South Node in Scorpio in the 4th house might pull the person back from following their own path to take care of their family or dealing with family karma (more about the South Node later).
The North Node wants more and more and can make a person with this placement restless and stressed. As the person is going towards the 10th house of career and social status, this is a typical workaholic combination. The ruling sign of the 10th house is capricorn, which stands for hard work and strong orientation on principles and values.
Depending on the aspects Taurus might bring some grounded energy here. However, Taurus also signifies that the person will strive forward with commitment and stubbornness.
The North Node likes Taurus. Therefore, the taurian influence with its lust for life and pleasure, brings a person who wants to like or rather love her/his work. These people want to see the fruits of their work – and eat them too. If they don’t see these fruits they will be rather unfulfilled and unhappy.
People with the North Node in Taurus in the 10th house want to find their mission in terms of career and enjoy their work. The combination might give us a hint on the type of career they are looking for. Typical manifestations of the combination:
- Architects
- Artists
- Designers
- Dealing with any type of feminine product (as Taurus is linked to Venus)
- Jeweller
- And professions with the cause of bringing the good side of life to other people
Due to the status orientation of the 10th house and the material nature of Taurus, this combination indicates success that manifests in money and other resources. There is a natural drive to earn a lot for what these people are doing in their career. However, as the North Node indicates what we have to learn in this life, there might be some hiccups on the way there.
The South Node in Scorpio in the 4th house
Scorpio stands for deep emotions as well as our urges and needs. This sign is very passionate and has a lot of power naturally given to them. It is said that the scorpio comes from the darkness and therefore is connected to everything that is hidden in the darkness of our souls. It can therefore be suspicious and jealous. Nevertheless, this sign also knows the light and is here to fight passionately for the raw truth and pure emotion. It holds the knowledge of the universe, our very existence and the field of strong emotions.
The 4th house is the house of the family and the mother. This house also stands for the emotional base of a person.Therefore, we also find everything we emotionally inherited from our ancestors. It shows the emotional ties of the person into the family tree. It is here where we also see the home and the feeling of being at home. Therefore, this house is also representing property and place of living. The fourth house is linked to the zodiac sign of Cancer and the Moon.
The South Node in the 4th house in Scorpio can hint to strong family karma. There is a deep connection to the family, the mother and the emotional body attached to it that stems from a past life. Through the scorpionic understanding of emotions, these people might see clearly the emotional state of their family. When the south node is in the sign of scorpio in the 4th house, this might indicate that in the past life these people gave everything for their family. As scorpio also rules power, they might have been the head of the family who took many burdens to hold up the family. There might have been emotional suffering and self-abandonment for the sake of the family and ancestors, while also seeing their life purpose in being there for their family.
In this life we are constantly and naturally drawn towards the North Node, however we might want to stay in our South Node, as our soul knows this area already. With a south node in this placement, we might see a person who is very occupied with taking responsibility and also a powerful position in their family. The south node scorpio knows that suffering is inevitable in the area of family. So it might well be that there is some sort of burden the person holds for the family, which they feel very responsible for. They strive to create harmony in the family and are attached here with very strong emotions. As the 4th house also stands for the mother, there might be some connection to the role of the mother. The mother herself might be a scorpio or show scorpionic aspects.
The lunar nodes are our compass through this lifetime. In this placements case, the compass points towards self-fulfillment through the career, hard work and the rise in social status. The challenge with this combination is to turn the focus towards the 10th house in Taurus and not to play the same role in the family, that the person has already played in a past lifetime. As the nodes unfold throughout our life, it might well be that until approximately the age of 35 the person is still tied into the family karma. After that it will be easier to focus into the direction of the north node.
However, if you have this combination you can try it yourself. Whenever you give your family, your mother all your attention or also when you get lost in deep emotions of suffering, you are in your south node. As your soul wants to progress, you will feel that something is missing or even suffer deeply not knowing why.
For a soul that comes from scorpio it is not so easy to go into the direction of Taurus. Taurus is worldly and materialistic, in comparison to the deeply emotional and passionate scorpio. You might feel a struggle in enjoying those worldly things, always wanting something deeper.
Our advice to you is to experiment and try. It is very likely that you will feel better focusing on worldly enjoyments and the bringing to life of your personal vision for your life. And magically – your family will also feel better when you follow your souls path.
Scorpio indicates power that was naturally given to someone. Therefore, people with this combination might retreat to their south node even when following 10th house matters. When they really have to work hard and are not seen as the natural leaders that Scorpios like to be, they might feel that they are in the wrong place and pull out. If you observe this with yourself, please stop for a moment and remember your personal vision for the future from the 9th house. With your north node in the 10th house it is your mission to work towards this vision and sometimes work hard without any reward in sight. Listen to your inner voice to make good choices on what to work for and don’t retreat just because people do not immediately see how unique you are.
The north node will give you all the harvest for the seeds you saw just at the right time and ultimately you will also be able to bring your souls experience in powerful positions into the mix.
The goal is to balance out the lunar nodes in our life. The journey to get there is what matters most. Enjoy it and don’t let your emotions overwhelm you or your responsibility towards family stop you. You are meant to achieve something great through your work.
And to encourage you a little more, remember that the north node is in exaltation in taurus. It is your destiny to receive on a worldly scale and to enjoy your life to the fullest.
