Astrology for the Soul

Interesting to read about my sign. Eerily accurate. Would def recommend if you want to know more about your own shadows based on your sign.

I am not an astrologer. I have no idea how she can tell us by a chart that takes a year or 2 at a time to tell us which sign our nodes are in. Im a scorpio whose north node happens to also be in scorpio. But...the way she does it ,your node can just as easily be in Airies, taurus,etc....I dont even remember what a node is, but I can tell you I learned more about myself thru Jans book than all the psychology profiles I took and self help books I read on 'achieving your dreams.." Im just sorry i put it away after reading it just once or twice, several years ago. I just foud it again tonight and I will be up with it all night! -) My suggestion on how to use this book. BOTH WAYS! #1-Read the chapter9s_ that relate tyo your sign and see how it can help you change your life or enhance it. And dont be afraid to say this is me...but thats not me at all." I doubt without knowing your time of birth can she get close to doing that. Nex......#2- READ THRU THE ENTIRE BOOK AND PRETEND THE WHOLE BOOK IS ABOUT YOU BUT .......................use 2 color ink pens and a highlighter. The traits and probabilities of certain things that either logicaly ring true for you or intuitively give you a "hit" and your mouth falls open, underline that paragraph, highlight it and write the page on the inside back cover. The suggestions or scenarios you never thought about but sound like this "could" be you, could be the path you've never considered much or where something draws you to it, juts underline it in a regular color pen and also write the page number in the back cover but on the bottom half of the book. When finished with the whole book, go back to the pages you listed in the back and play with them, study them and enjoy the new changes your life will take. You can use this book as a "possibility guide" if you don't believe in astrology, as the things that are true for you are going to pop out at you regardless of what node or sign they are meant for. Sometimes you grew up with someone of a certain node/sign/trait and their characteristics rubbed off on you. Or.....your birth certificate is incorrect, or, or ,or..........explore and just have a ball with it. Anyone interested in starting a club where they would buy her software or further books and we can meet in a google group once a week to see how this book is changing our life. YOU DEFINITELY DONT WANT TO JUST READ IT AND PUT IT AWAY AS I DID. BIG WASTE! 5 stars.

"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 SoulIn 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 songsHere 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-nurturanceTaurus - 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.

I was referred to this book from a very close friend in the beginning of my path as I wanted to understand astrology, in particular karma. This book is an eye opener!!

So happy to have this classic in my collection and learn from it. Tried to click the link to the janspiller.com website and looked around until I found a note saying there are changes ahead. I admire the successor who took over per Jan’s personal request, and look forward to these updated changes.
