Very cool! I love talking about nodes. My gates are both off my undefined G-center. Gate 10 (south) and Gate 15 (north). I definitely feel like I loved myself almost to a fault as well as others when I was younger. A blind love of everyone no matter what they did .. I can also always see all sides not sure if that's my 6th line. I have a really hard time taking sides even for myself.

I'm 42 but I've never felt tension with my gate 15 ... I've always been an extreme person ... I have always loved the extremes of humanity, cultures, individual, ets. I love surrounding myself in entirely foreign cultures, it makes me really happy. I went to Zimbabwe when I turned 19 and that was my first immersion in a completely different culture and it was a life changing experience. I embraced everything! Even eating worms. But I do feel I I got more extreme when I turned 20 I went from just driving really fast to climbing 100/300 foot cliffs and jumping off crazy things and swimming with sharks and other "thrill seeking things" but I did them all really safely so they don't really feel that way to me.

... I do feel I'm becoming more of an individual and defining who I am .. wheras before it didn't feel it mattered as much to me it matters a lot to me now. I won't lie though I still really love stuff other people might call thrill seeking. It doesn't feel that way to me though it just feels really good and makes me happy. Have to explore a little more to figure out the story here.

It’s taken me a while to watch this masterclass so here I am.

My personality NN is Gate 15.3 and my SN is 10.3. Both are in my undefined G.

What’s interesting is that I have the same NN and SN gates on my Design side too—except they’re both in Line 5.

In my Astrology natal chart, my SN is in Capricorn. In my past life/lives I was all about structure, practicality, discipline and presented with more of a masculine energy.

My NN is in Cancer which is all about home and hearth, family, feminine maternal energy, emotional, care and nurturance.

I definitely feel this energy. So much. Being. Loving my home. Crying easily. Comfort is queen.

Coming to my HD nodal placements…

Gate 10: I was led to psychology and personal development early in life. I studied this in college in 80’s India when everyone else was studying to be a doctor, engineer, or professor!! I knew what I desired and valued and rarely did anything to please anyone but myself!

Gate 15: I feel this energy so powerfully. I’m all about marching to the beat of my own drum—even when it’s inconvenient to my fam or friends. My one-word mantra is Authenticity. Most of my newsletters are personal stories. So is my podcast.

I’m excited to look back and mine stories along the arc of this journey.

This made me emotional, I have the exact same nodes (hello gate 30 emotions) and absolutely feel the shift now going towards my 40s. It feels so good allowing myself to feel all the feels instead of hating myself for not being rational. So much food for thought as always 🙏❤️

Another fascinating aspect of HD that you bring to light. As a fellow 5/1 generator, thanks for diving deep into the nodes. My NN is Gate 62 and SN is Gate 61 and this resonates 100% for me. I’m 52 and definitely spent my early life defining everything in the logical realm and yet was very emotional like a Cancer. Since 40, I have found more of a balance between the logical and the unexplainable and found more and more of my voice. As I approach 60, I’m exploring more and more of the mysteries of life and embracing those same mysteries while also being much less emotional. I own my worth in what rate I charge for my services, what I will and won’t do, or explain why those rates are what they are. I also think that moving from a throat gate to a crown gate is true for me. I used to talk a lot and get angry when people wouldn’t listen to my logic. Now I’m more contemplative and listen more.

On a side (but related) note, I inquired a year or so ago your thoughts on why I felt like a projector so much. With all the recent diving into my gates related to your posts, I now “see” that these dominate gates for me are all projected. Now, I get it. I also now understand the “forcing” rather than the waiting to respond especially with the projected gates. Just have to figure out who my audience is and if they are ready for what I have to say! 😆

WOW!! This is so timely (and spot on) because I started writing a new Substack a couple weeks ago called The Solopreneur's Journey, Part 1...it's all about my story of how I worked in the corporate world, then went out on my own to start my own IT consulting/strategy business. The "turning point" for me was being laid off (at the time, I was 38, so almost 40) for what was the last time. The universe has a sense of humor, that's for sure, b/c it knew I was still in my comfort zone and needed to be PUSHED off the damn cliff called "Comfort Zone". 😂

So this week's masterclass couldn't have come at a better time!!

My personality (conscious) north and south nodes are 37 (north) and 40 (south), defining that entire channel from the Ego to the Emotions. I think the north node is accurate in the sense I'm creating a sense of community with the HD workshops I'm doing. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but that's the first thing that comes to mind.

And my sun personality gate is 35, all about sharing experiences and adventure. So in a nutshell, this story is about showing others that if I can figure out this thing called "entrepreneurship", they can too, but in their own way.

Side note: I just revamped my website last week and the homepage says Choose Your Own Adventure... so very gate 35 😎😂

Lovely, the beautiful 'hero/or heroine's journey' - in case one wants to use Campbell's or Murdock's respective models on top of it with Chatgpt for a lovely narrative of one's own life :) As always, and as many others have said earlier - I love your succinct style of teaching as a 5/1 emotional projector!

Do you know when you've heard and looked at something SO many times, and you hear it again and it's like you see things in this totally new perspective?! Well that's what you always do for me - the way you break things down allows me to see the simplest pieces and understand myself on a totally deeper level. My SN is gate 5 (also in my chart 4 times and my rising sign as well) and my NN is gate 35. My life IS my art and literally I'm meant to share it all. Oh my gosh relating this back to my 4/6 and conscious sun gate 13 and aries moon that gets to go first and lead. I mean WOWW. THANK YOU!!!! Also look out world lol cause I'm READY.
