Scorpio 26 = North Node, Pele, Angelica

I have 2202 Pele and 965 Angelica 50 seconds apart at 47' past, so to speak. Pele is a Hawaiian volcano goddess known for some volatility and creation of the lands through whatever spews out, so there is a certain amount of mirroring to Alekto with the anger on the South Node perhaps. Neither process seems particularly controlled at least to outsiders. Pele does not seem exactly a shy one, which would go with the following description for the Sabian degree.

PHASE 237 (SCORPIO 27°): A MILITARY BAND MARCHES NOISILY ON THROUGH THE CITY STREETS.
KEYNOTE: The aggressive glorification of cultural values.
...swells with pride and excitement when a display of the excellence of that in which his consciousness and personality are deeply rooted is publicly affirmed."
Let's get ready to rumble. I am woman, hear me roar. What the South Node's Sabian took peacefully as adjustment to the social order, even if through reminders that to do otherwise would be to invoke monsters to deal with, the North Node wants to let rip with and start the party with a bang, lest everyone not notice?

A low Scorpio here might sting to get your attention, what is described as the phoenix side of Scorpio on Elizabeth Spring's North Node blog may pull a flashy burn to catch your attention, and the eagle soars in your line of sight with a screech for attention? That it's Angelica on the degree would suggest at least the potential for the eagle heights, but cannot really be determined by me.

It is in any case fitting to have an influence akin Angelica opposite what the South Node is maybe even burdened with. If what you are to begin with is the monsters, there is nothing to transform into but the opposite. It is not 11911 Angel or other asteroids said to influence certain good things, but I believe the name means "angel-like" in any case. Lucifer was the brightest before his fall, there being no distinction between the two ends in some ways. Both are yours, whether you accept them or not.

I think the difficulty I have with the North Node is that people say it should be difficult to reach or sustain. Pele brings fire forth from the earth, as if transforming that matter to something else, and you have Leo fire by nature. The South Node is in earthy Taurus, so whatever matter there is there gets transmuted to the Scorpio phoenix reflecting the burn in other parts of the chart as if automatically. Given that there are significant nodal transits going on currently and to come, I figure I cannot have even half of all that the Scorpio North Node entails figured out, but being a Leo obviously lap up the latter part of the Sabian symbol's description, too. Affirm me, lavish the ego, join in the talk about that which you like.

Pluto rules Scorpio and mine is in my 4th house loosely conjunct the IC and trine Mars, which shares South Node's 11th house. The 8th house is in Aquarius, playing with the fixed signs and the opposition to Leo likewise when the North Node is in Leo's favourite, the 5th house. If Pluto goes deep, mine is already at the root of things. Transformations are at the basis of your being to some extent, whether that helps with a Scorpio North Node or not. I should imagine it would.

It gets difficult to figure out what you're doing wrong (or right?) when posts like that Elizabeth Spring one suggest giving up on the materialistic side, when there was never much chance to get started on such things in the first place. Oh, there are issues about security alright, but when it's more akin moving on the NN's side most of your life without even getting to specifically try the Taurean flavours, you end up asking questions about if you then missed something that you supposedly should have been focused on for at least the first thirty-odd years of your life before being even able to begin on the other side. What are you doing wrong, or what did you supposedly do right early on then? Or is it mere appearances and you still stuck at Taurus without even realizing?

To illustrate and compare to what the post remarks upon, I have moved from one place to another without that many possessions practically all my adult life. I saw the benefit of going to the movies alone long ago, when you preferred sitting at the front to fully enmesh yourself in the experience in any case, and were not willing to wait until someone else would bother to deign to grace you with going to the movies with you, or your missing out on something someone else might not want to see. I moved abroad without many ties, generally free to go wherever I liked apart from the restrictions of work. I'm now told these are all actually Scorpio North Node things (and not just you being bloody independent, on some levels).

The Scorpio underbelly I already long ago knew about and shrugged and got along living with since it was there in any case, but the rest being Scorpio NN as well? Hmh. I've seen and felt poisonous Scorpio Ascendants with a Scorpio NN likewise, and always felt their stinging moves beneath me, no matter how effective the hurts from them, of course. It is to use any means necessary to strike where the vulnerability is, after all.

You rather stayed quiet, even when it worked against you. Leo dignity does not lower itself to saying certain things, even when it's other people's misunderstandings that reflect badly upon you. Or is that Scorpio silence then supposedly? Whether the volcano-like snap of an effect once you'd had enough was the same as the stings or Pele's volcano having had enough pressure is difficult to gauge likewise. There was no malice in those moves, they were simply final straws after not answering taunts or bear-baiting for long enough. If people don't otherwise get that stopping is the right thing to do and people-baiting likely to not end well, eventually they pay the price for it and have to be stopped, one way or another. Action, reaction.

You never quite approved of the martyr-acts pulled once you finally had made a move either. You get what is coming to you, sooner or later. If you cannot deal with or live with the consequences of your moves, don't make the moves then. If you don't have the forward wisdom to know if you can live with something, prepare for whatever amount of work until you can, or don't make the move, again.

The reaction seems more Taurean on some levels, so again, where do you really reside in the end when someone describes your natural moves in the world as highly "NN in Scorpio", but that then leaves you not knowing where precisely the South Node's Taurean influence would have featured? There is the craving for security also on Leonian fronts, but something like that was never enough to stay you when you absolutely had to fly, even if you'd had to corner yourself into having to make the move through having no alternative. You die in place or you move, jump off the cliff or fly, whatever you want to call it. Usually it was trying to be sensible that always turned out to be the bad thing to do from a personal well-being level.

In any case, because the final reactions from your side can seem excessive, the volcano needs steady de-pressurising and letting out steam to control it. Venting about everyday irritations seems a better option than slowly gathering up an eruption. Presumably the "mission" is to reach Angelica's levels once enough work through things like that has happened, keeping the best of Pele's primal creativity, but that side clearly still needs work. Angels were a fearsome army of God and we are specifically reminded not to be afraid that time every time we encounter them in the Bible, so it is not entirely alien energy to Scorpio, but to keep the good while burning out the rest is hard for humans to keep up constantly. We forget and fall back into being human instead.
