The North Node in Cancer points toward feeling, home and care; the South Node in Capricorn is the old reflex of control, duty and achievement. The growing edge is to need, and to be looked after.
In plain words
The North Node stands for where your life is heading. In Cancer, that works in a Cancer way: caring, protective and easily hurt. You look after your own and remember everything.
