The North Node in Cancer-South Node in Capricorn primarily relate to the responsibilities between family and society. The main themes of the Cancer-Capricorn axis include intimacy-distance, emotions-logic, spiritual-worldly, going with the flow, and control.
What Do Cancer North Node and Capricorn South Node Mean?
A person with the North Node in Cancer is familiar with organizing large communities and institutions, working tirelessly, always prioritizing logic, and keeping everything under control. This is because they have experienced the South Node in Capricorn, and their secure identity is Capricorn. However, in this lifetime, they need to learn to let go of these cold responsibilities and open their hearts to the warm feelings of their home.
The South Node does not represent things we need to completely abandon and leave behind. On the contrary, it shows what we are masters at. The only thing to do is to show the courage to apply this mastery in an opposite area.
Therefore, a person with the North Node in Cancer should not completely abandon their responsibilities but should change the area of responsibility. For example, they can reduce their responsibilities at work and take on the responsibility of their family.
