North Node in Sagittarius/South Node in Gemini

The keyword here is promise. For lifetimes this individual has enmeshed himself in dualities, resulting in indecision. He has tried to be all things to all people and as a result has made himself attuned to superficiality. 

Now he has strong karmic lessons to learn in areas of loyalty and allegiance. Eventually he will come to see that by playing both sides against the middle he can only hope to make himself the center of the sandwich, caught in the squeeze. Nevertheless he retains a past-life fear of committing himself fully to either side for at least on the superficial, he seed truth and right in both. He still believes that a definite commitment to one side would leave him with the feeling of missing the opportunity inherent in the other. 

This ability to remain uncommitted enables him constantly to adjust himself to fit the needs of the moment. Like the chameleon his colors change with his surroundings. 

In past incarnations he was not too discriminating, knowing that it really didn't matter where he gave his affiliations since he never gave his complete self anyway. Now he swings like a pendulum in the breeze, open to ride if but for a brief time only on the winning wind. 

He purposely makes himself the pawn of others and, even if only for the moment, seems to agree with them so he can temporarily feel accepted and a part of something. 

Through many lives his sense of self-identity has become not merely a single division but filled with all the questions of everybody he was in contact with. Since so many people have formed the building blocks of this inner self, it is impossible for him to be anything but a hypocrite! 

When he speaks his facial expression as well as his body language will change from sentence to sentence, taking on the appearance of the person whose words he is now trying to pass off as his own. In fact, when he makes a definite positive statement, his eyes will always examine the recipient to see if it was received as truth. If not, then it doesn't matter for he will now start talking incessantly, trying one collected statement after another on for size in the hope that somewhere in his collection of information a few words might be worthwhile. 

He loves activity, and when circumstances make him feel cooped up or bogged down he becomes highly nervous and restless. 

Always over-programmed, he struggles to keep up with the myriad of details and people that fill his life. He has so much to do and yet at the end of each day feels distracted from his purpose. 

In past incarnations he never developed a long attention span. As a result, he spends much of this life constantly changing his mind about everything. 

At one point, he will go through conflict over whether to live in a large city or in the country. The conflict is really between the continuation of his past-life need to be with people and his present-life desire to be away from them. 

Direction does not come at an early age. More often than not, it comes through the aid of parents or an older person who sets him on his course. This occurs usually after age twenty-eight. 

Underneath it all he is unsteady; he has been so busy seeing the shades of gray in everything that he has difficulty seeing the light of truth in himself. 

For this individual, life's biggest task involves a quest for higher knowledge. Through the Sagittarius North Node he must learn that in order for man to be capable of seeing the truth, he must first be the truth! 

He will go far if he teaches himself to speak from his higher mind for the esoteric meaning of all he says will ultimately show him his real identity. 

When he start to mesh with Transcendental Thought, he will begin to reach a spiritual union within himself. 

First he must work through his karma of perpetuating trivia and come to see that participating in gossip is the greatest sin against liberty. Then he must turn his back on all the past-life residue of pretend sophistication and reach for all that is real and natural. Ultimately, he comes to see that although a coin has two sides, it's still one coin! When he develops this perspective of vision, he will be able to transform the knowledge he has acquired into Divine Wisdom. 

The house position of the South Node shows the area where past incarnation personality conflicts still plague the lower mind. 

The house position of the North Node shows the ways in which a Higher Consciousness can be developed into a vehicle which enables him to rise above all conflict. 

His present-life evolution will free him from the bondage of indecision and in its place give him glimpses of Universal Truth.
