1
Learn to forgive yourself. Your imaginative mind can become obsessed with small flaws, and shy away from realities that might cause you pain. By relaxing your analytical side and accepting your faults and situation as they are, you can forgive yourself to move on from your past and brighten your future outlook.^{[3]

- Think of your flaws as artistic parts of yourself that make you unique. You don’t need to follow an idea of perfection—you’re already perfectly you!
- It’s okay to make mistakes, everyone does sometimes. Instead of being disappointed in yourself, use the situation as a learning opportunity for the future.
2
Release your negativity. A Pisces north node can flood you with emotions. While that may enrich your life in many ways, be careful to not let negativity overpower you. Ground yourself in your situation to have internal peace of mind and practice gratitude to open yourself up to positive thinking.
- It can be hard to remember all the good things in life since so many of them are small. Keep a gratitude journal to remind yourself of the good times.
- To build inner peace, look for ways to follow your intuition. Practice breathing exercises to center yourself and relax your mind. Pursue activities you can get lost in.
- Practice mindfulness to keep yourself in the present moment. Pay attention to your surroundings just by using your senses. Remember, not everything has to be interpreted.
3
Build your trust in others. Having innate intuition can lead you to have an overdeveloped sense of danger, which can make it hard to trust other people. Although clear perception is a strength of yours, releasing the fears you have around other people helps you build loving, supportive relationships.^{[4]

- Taking people at face value can be hard, but the first step to trusting people is believing in what they say. If you’re not sure of someone's intentions, ask them directly about how they feel.
- Keep in mind the times that people have come through for you. It’s easy to focus only on when you’ve been let down, so make a point to remember positive interactions.
4
Open yourself to your spirituality. As a curious and mystical Pisces north node, you cannot find what you seek solely in the mundane. Lean into the drive to push boundaries and open your mind to the universe. Don’t shy away from fantastical experiences, and trust in your imaginative abilities.^{[5]

Love and Relationships for Pisces North Node

1
Balance compassion toward yourself and others. Having Pisces placements lends itself well to your compassionate abilities, but you may find it difficult to accept love for yourself. Being vulnerable enough to take love from other people without feeling you’ve earned it can be scary, but it’s all about trusting those around you. To build healthy relationships, let other people’s kindness in. ^{[6]

Research source}
- Feeling worthy of love starts with accepting who you are. Think about the people who you love despite their flaws, and extend that grace to yourself.
- Keep a list of your strengths and add to it every day. Receiving loving comments from other people can help your self-esteem, but that’s not the same as self-love. Take time to think about things you like about yourself, and write them down.
2
Be wary of destructive relationships. Your love of community and interconnectedness might lead you to a diverse array of relationships, but it also can make it hard to leave people you feel connected to. Pay attention to relationships that may be causing you more harm than good, and release them with love.
- North node in Pisces is an incredibly adaptable placement, so be aware of where you are allowing your boundaries to be crossed. It’s okay to change your boundaries, but only when the new ones still reflect your wants and needs.
- Don’t be afraid to be open with your feelings! Talk to your partners about what you want from them so you can all be on the same page.
- For example, you may gravitate toward partners who are as social and community-oriented as you. However, you might need someone more introverted who can really ground you and remind you of how important it is to take alone time to recharge.
- Reader Poll: We asked 526 wikiHow readers with a Pisces placement, and only 3% said their biggest deal breaker is their partner being less social than them. [Take Poll] So, having a partner who's not super social may be your best choice.
3
Accept that you can’t control everything. Sometimes the natural empathy of the Pisces north node can lead you to take things into your own hands to get the best outcome. Even when your intentions are pure, you can put yourself at risk of engaging in manipulative behaviors when you act behind the scenes.
- It’s easier to work as a team than alone. Communicate with those around you and work on reaching goals together.
- For example, if you feel a project would be better if you changed what someone else wrote, think about how that would make the other person feel. If you have an idea you can share it, but be sure everyone knows what you’re thinking upfront.

Find a work-life balance. As a Pisces north node, your natural intensity can express itself as passion and dedication in your work…but be careful of burnout.

Let your creativity shine. Your sense of intuition and ability to tap into your unconscious sets you up as an industry innovator—you’re always on the lookout for something new. Make a mark on your business by playing into your strengths and let your creativity take a front seat in your career practice.

House Placements for Pisces North Node

1
House placements help you understand your relationship to the world around you. Have you ever wondered what the numbers around your chart mean? There are twelve astrological houses, each focusing on different traits and themes, from communication to the unconscious experience. Which house your north node is in will narrow down how it plays into your life overall. ^{[7]

Research source}
- When you look at your natal chart, you’ll see lines coming from the center dividing the circle into twelve numbered parts. Whatever section your north node placement falls into is the house it’s in.
2
First house Sometimes you just need to go with the flow. Pisces north nodes in the first house can benefit from letting go of your worries and letting yourself move into a more transcendental plane.
- Practice living in the moment and releasing expectations for yourself and others. Give yourself more time to daydream and unfocus on the details.
- If your placement is in this house, you’ll have an easier time letting go of your rigid Virgo south node.
3
Second house It’s okay to put yourself first! Ever hear the phrase “put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others”? With placements in this house, focus on what grounds you and practice self-care.
- You don’t always need to be the support system. Detangle from other people’s problems and release yourself from external worries. Meditate on what you need in your relationships before diving in.
4
Third house The third house is the communicative hub of the natal chart. Instead of being overly critical of how you express your ideas, relax any rigid standards you carry and allow yourself to be less precise, and more spiritual and intuitive with your words.
- This goes both ways! As you open up your own standards, rethink the criticisms you may have of other communication styles and belief systems.
- Prioritize practice over idealism. Instead of thinking about what you should do and say, go out into the world and say and do what you think! Let conversations come naturally from within and don’t get too in your head.
5
Fourth house Step out of the spotlight—it’s okay to live your life privately. Take time for yourself and to spend with your family—return to your roots, allow yourself artistic privacy, and let go of your obsession with public image.
- Let go of workaholic tendencies and pursue your creativity. You may not be a professional artist, but making things just for yourself will enrich your life.
6
Fifth house Let your personal expression be your strength! You are more than any label can express, so surround yourself with people who encourage your fluidity and won’t put you in a box. Everything is a phase, so let yourself change as much as you like.
- This also means relaxing your expectations for yourself, and slowing down as you meet your goals.
- Put your creativity into every part of your life. Wear clothes outside of fashion trends, cook new foods, and push yourself out of your comfort zone.
7
Sixth house Pisces can struggle with internal rigidity, so having your north node in your sixth house leads you to grace and flexibility. Fight the urge to be judgmental toward your inner life and dreams, and let your imagination run a little wilder.
- Look for jobs that allow you to express your creativity and merge well with your personal lives. This can look like artistry and photography, but also non-artistic creative jobs like bartending.
8
Seventh house Life is messy, so let yourself be imperfect. You’ll feel most like yourself when you stop caring how other people see you and set your own expectations for how you act in social situations.
- Don’t shy away from your more intricate, confusing relationships. You have the ability to learn from every situation, and you might find these to be the most fulfilling.
9
Eighth house If your Pisces north node is in this house, look at how you view other people. An excess of prudishness and rigidity may be holding you back from your highest potential. Allow yourself to tap into your psychic abilities, and open yourself to intimacy.
- Share your ideas with others completely, and let them develop further in the group. It can be scary to let go of something you care about and feel is yours, but you’re not losing anything—you’re just letting it grow.
10
Ninth house It can be reassuring to have a plan for everything, but if your Pisces north node falls in this house, you’re meant to let go of the details and think more holistically. Practice humility and have faith—you don’t need to know everything to live your life well.
- Let go of your plans by traveling aimlessly and creating your own spiritual quests. Be open to whatever life throws at you.
11
Tenth House Your imagination and creativity are the light of your life, so don’t push them into the shadows. Let go of your inner critic while embracing creative outlets, and don’t let your fears get in the way of your passions.
- If you have this house placement you might end up so cautious that you’re afraid to act. Addressing and releasing your fears is a crucial step in following your dreams.
12
Eleventh House As an artist and creative, you might see your work as your life. You can make wonderful things, but you might get a little too wrapped up. To fight getting totally sucked into your craft, interact with your peers with an open mind, and allow your ideas to be shared by the group. Collaboration will take you places you could never have gotten to alone.
- Join an artist collective or discussion group and share yourself freely. You may find yourself creating partnerships that will influence your work beyond your wildest dreams!
13
Twelfth house You’re a great organizer, but you don’t have to do everything for the job to be done right. Trust your coworkers and partners and let go of your fears of your own non analytical abilities. By releasing perfectionism, you’ll give your body and mind the rest they need.
- If you’re always the leader in your projects, try being a good team player instead. It might be hard at first, but taking a step back and watching others take the lead will help you learn skills in all other parts of the process.
