Karma of the Signs: Discover and Understand Yours

This helps us not only to evolve and move towards happiness but also to become aware of the challenges we have to face in this life. Karma is a commitment to destiny. In Karmic Astrology, there is no weight or guilt but responsibility and the search for enlightenment.

    The Lunar Nodes and the Karma of the Signs

    For Western Astrology, as for Vedic or Indian Astrology, the Lunar Nodes occupy a central position in the birth chart, next to the Sun and the other planets. The North Node (or Dragon Head) represents what the soul must become to fulfill its destiny. What are the aspects of your personality that need to be improved? And since the present is the only moment that really exists, this is the best moment to achieve everything and act according to what is happening in our life. The Nodes represent the purpose of life and growth potential, the North Node, and everything that happened, the South Node (or the head of the dragon and the tail of the dragon, respectively, in Chinese Astrology ). They are, therefore, another astrological element that contributes to deciphering our behavior and ways of acting, at the same time that it gives us an idea of the difficulties that delay or prevent the progression of our Being (soul). Therefore, in Karmic Astrology, the North Node determines your karma, the challenges you will face in this life. Since challenges represent our growth potential, that is, areas of life and aspects of our personality that we can improve and where we can grow, karma is considered the key to happiness. Therefore, our attention and care must be focused here to move towards success and achievement.

    Law of Karma and Self-knowledge

    According to the Law of Karma, the soul consciously chooses the challenges that can provide it with the most significant opportunities for growth. In doing so, karma manifests itself in your daily life through your choices. Therefore, karma is not a punishment but rather an opportunity to learn, improve, value, and grow the Self. The challenges we face are not always easy. So they are challenges. They force us to get out of our comfort zone and do something different. This sometimes makes us feel like a situation is not new. We have faced that situation or feeling before. As long as we do not learn the lesson, these events will always repeat themselves throughout our lives. If we do not overcome them, we will carry them to the next one. Therefore, to overcome karma, it is necessary to understand the lesson that each challenge wants to teach us. How can we improve as a person if we do it differently from our usual way of approaching the problem? So you have to accept, forgive and do well. As we reflect on the challenging lesson, we can see what we can improve on ourselves. By forgiving, we free ourselves from the weight of negative energies that intoxicate our souls. We can move more smoothly and in tune with our Being.

    Characterization
    Earth sign, Taurus represents the need for material security. This is his temperament: materialistic, practical, and focused on achievement. His fixed behavior only makes him think about building and shaping things. Despite this attachment to things, to material goods, Taurus is not a selfish personality. You just like to make sure you have what it takes to live comfortably. He is strong, determined, and very stubborn; he gets to the bottom of things despite not wasting much time on details.

He does not like the image he sees projected in the mirror; he lives in conflict with what he feels he should do and what he does; he sees praise as an offensive impression. All because, in the past, he hid his true selfish nature. This karma constitutes an awareness and responsibility towards life and towards the Divine. The native must believe in the benefits of leading a simple and honest life. Everything that exists outside of society must be avoided. Difficulties that appear in life should be seen as a means of learning and not as a punishment. Vices and debts must be rejected.
