N. Node in the 9th House
  ******************* 
  This suggests a need to develop an appropriate focus on understanding a higher 
  ideal and philosophy. It occurs in order to communicate such learning to others in 
  your immediate environment, including relatives.  
   
  Here in the house of the higher mind, you have the opportunity to expand your 
  perspective and grow to realize the visions of all that you have thought possible. 
  You may have to travel far and wide before you are ready to accept the truth of your 
  higher self, but the journey will be fun and interesting. Wandering around the world, 
  talking to people of different cultures and realities stimulates you to learn as much 
  as you can about all the differences and see the similarities as well. For many 
  lifetimes, you have enjoyed playing games and having fun, and you have had a 
  problem making a commitment and sticking with it. Now you are learning the value of 
  honesty and following your higher self. These nodes are also very interested in 
  communication and education. While some may actually become teachers, others 
  will have so many irons in the fire, thoughts in their head, ideas of what they'd like to 
  do, that they can't make up their minds what they really want to do with themselves. 
  It is for this reason there are astrologers. Your reach should always exceed your 
  grasp so that you can keep going farther than you had gone before. Once pointed in 
  the right direction, the soul has a greater understanding and perspective as to what 
  life is all about. It's the global classroom where one grows by doing, not by talking 
  about it. One more thing to remember, in the words of Shakespeare, "To thine own 
  self be true...."
