Have you ever had a friend, a family member, a lover, someone who means a lot to you and you see them doing the wrong thing, going along the wrong path, hell-bent to nowhere and you offer advice that you know would be helpful but they will not listen to you, worse yet take it? When this happens, it is painful. It feels like you have the remedy and the sick patient refuses the cure and continue to suffer.

I have a friend. He suffers from bouts of depression, sometimes lasting for months and when they occur, things can get really dark. When I do not see or hear from him for a while, I would teasingly ask him if he ‘went underground’. He usually smiles wryly and answers in the affirmative. My friend is closing in on midlife and has never been married, has no children, and has never been in a relationship longer than five years. He sees himself and strong and independent, not needing anyone in his life. He has some narcissistic tendencies that, on occasion, have gotten him in trouble with his relationships.

You see, my friend has his South Node/ Ketu in his first house and he continues to live in the past. The first house is about self, believing in oneself, thinking that there is no great need for anyone else. This means then, that his North Node/Rahu in his seventh house, the House of Partnership. With this house, there is a shift away from oneself towards another. The aim here is to relate and corporate, to form strong bonds and unite. A person with his North Node in the seventh house achieves his soul purpose when he assumes the role of one for the many and not one for the self and so is able to live the life he chose when he entered this earthly realm. My friend knows this because I have told him so on many occasions. He brushed the information away and has continued to live a life much less than what he came here to experience.

My heart aches for him.

I recently invited him to share a cup of coffee with me.

I will try one more time.
