   Gemini North Node (Sagittarius South Node) people have had two different kinds of past lives: as wandering spiritual hermits or philosopher kings. I love the idea that I was a Philosopher King and I know I've been a nun or a monk.

  ‎"A tendency to hold beliefs and opinions without gathering the facts, to being self-righteous and running roughshod over others' feelings, to rushing through life and possessing excess nervous energy, and to lack tact in our relationships with others are some of the issues this position suggests. With this position, we easily crack under imagined pressures, and we are too often in a hurry for fear that our freedom will be curtailed if we stop long enough to gather facts and consider the details of everyday life. We need to learn to listen to others so that we discover the value of true communication and exchange, and to see both sides of a situation instead of throwing out dogma at others. We want to have meaningful and intelligent exchanges with others, and we want to teach others as well. But in order for us to succeed with these things, we need to learn that true learning and exchanges can only come when we listen to others. Learning to slow down, to be sensitive to social graces and networks, and to sensitize ourselves to others' needs and communications without fear of being tied down, will release us from some of our nervous tension and help us achieve more happiness and inner balance. " Say Whut!? :(

  North Node in Gemini --- This is a life time where you are destined to communicate and often be a writer, beginning with a journalistic approach and often developing into publishing and editing. You can become quite famous in the areas of television and radio, because of your ability to communicate. The Gemini North Node is often a great student in many areas and has difficulty deciding on which area will be the most important to advance into higher learning. This individual also likes to talk on the phone and has complete knowledge of all the latest gadgets for communication. Travel in short distances may be a strong trait, meaning travel within a distance of 1,000 miles may be part of one's vocation, selling, communicating or just transporting. This is a flexible and also multitalented position.

   South Node in Sagittarius --- There were many past lives where this individual was in a highly intellectual position and was off putting to others due to the nature of the intelligence. You could have been a priest, philosopher, even a gypsy, talented in the arts. This time there may be problems in all of the above areas, in studies and in becoming more knowledgeable. You may have karma when it comes to getting your projects off the ground, due to your 'holier than thou' attitude in past lives. You may have served in regal conditions and know the ins and outs of royalty or the masters of court policy, including political maneuvering. The need to travel and see the world is important to you, but somehow there are always interferences and something stops you. You may have great difficulty with the lower body and especially in the legs as karma often settles in the body when the issues are not being addressed.

HEAD CENTER
Head is the center of inspiration, thinking and mental pressure. Having it undefined means that most of your thoughts, questions as well as your inspiration come from outside. That's why you constantly think about things that don't matter (to you) and why your head is full of questions. Trying to answer them all creates a lot of mental pressure. You can learn to have questions without the need to answer them.
Ask yourself from time to time: Am I thinking about things that don't matter? Am I still trying to answer everybody else's questions?
Potential wisdom of the open Head: I know which questions are important for me to think about or not. I know who and what is inspiring for me and I am free of mental pressure.

AJNA CENTER
Ajna is the center of research, thought processing and analysis. Having it undefined means that you have no consistency in the way that thoughts are accessed and processed. Your thought process is conditioned from the outside. Feeling uncertain about your capacity to communicate and express ideas, you compensate by pretending to be certain - the one who knows and hates to look foolish.
Ask yourself from time to time: Am I still trying to convince everyone that you're certain?
Potential wisdom of the open Ajna: I am OK with not being certain. Great flexibility and thus creativity of thought process.

THROAT CENTER

Throat is the center of communication and manifestation (action). Having it undefined means that you have no consistency - and at the same time great flexibility - in expressing yourself. The need to attract attention by talking. Useful tip: don't be the first one to talk.
Ask yourself from time to time: Am I still trying to attract attention?
Potential wisdom of the open Throat: I don't have to ‘do' anything to attract attention. It happens when it is correct for me.

G CENTER

G is the center of identity, direction if life and love (center of the spiritual heart in the middle of the chest). You don't know who you are, where is your life is going (direction) and don't always get the love you need (not knowing who to love). You can trust that life will guide you by following your Strategy & Authority. Only be in a place that you like, be it your home, city, restaurant or office.
Ask yourself from time to time: Am I still looking for love, for yourself and your direction in life?
Potential wisdom of the open G: I no longer look for love, my life, direction and self ‘out there'. By living according to my design, love comes to me and I know the next step to take when the time is right.

EGO / HEART CENTER (this center has two names)
Ego is the center of ego and willpower, self worth/self-esteem and survival in the material world. Having it undefined means that there is no consistency in applying your will power. That leads to lower self-esteem and underestimating yourself. You try to overcompensate this by being competitive, in control and proving your worth to others and yourself. Don't make any promises.
Ask yourself from time to time: Do I still have something to prove? (i.e. are you smart enough, good enough, trustworthy, loyal, successful, sexy, etc.)
Potential wisdom of the open Ego: I have nothing to prove.

SPLEEN CENTER

Spleen is the center of intuition, instinct, survival and well being. Having it undefined means that you are open to all kinds of fears and you hold onto things that are no longer good for you. You have a weaker immune system, which makes you sensitive to your body and potentially good at seeing the health of others. It's easy for you to get addicted to the “good” feeling others bring you. Spontaneity can easily create problems for you.
Ask yourself from time to time: Am I still holding onto what's not good for you? (i.e. relationships, jobs, places, things)
Potential wisdom of the open Spleen: I knowing what is healthy for me or not and I can let go of what doesn't serve me.

SACRAL CENTER
Sacral is the center of vitality, sexuality and persistence. Having it undefined means that you don't have a consistent access to vitality, you can easily exhaust yourself. Not knowing when enough is enough, you tend to overdo things (work, eating, anything). Remember, you are not here to work, but potentially to guide others in how to work, rather than actually doing it all yourself. Go to bed as soon as you are tired.
Ask yourself from time to time: Do I know when enough is enough?
Potential wisdom of the open Sacral: I know when enough is enough.

SOLAR PLEXUS CENTER

Solar Plexus is the center of emotions and moods. Having it undefined means that you are very sensitive to emotions, open to the emotions of others as you take them in and feel twice as strong. This leads to strategy of avoiding conflicts and unpleasant truths. Living a secret life. It is best to avoid all emotional decisions.
Ask yourself from time to time: Am I still avoiding confrontation and truth?
Potential wisdom of the open Solar Plexus: I can experience the full spectrum of emotions and survive.

ROOT CENTER Root is the center of physical pressure (adrenalin), drive to do things and kundalini energy. Having it undefined means that you do things as fast as you can and work hard, in an effort to get rid of the pressure (that never goes away). You have the potential to be naturally still and allow the pressure to flow through you without acting upon it. Following your strategy brings you the correct pressure and protects you from the pressure that would harm you. Ask yourself from time to time: Am I still in a hurry to be free (of the pressure)? Potential wisdom of the open Root: I know what pressure is correct for me or not.
