Just looking at your natal chart for the first time. (Was this conversation really only 9 days ago? Feels much longer.)
The North Node would have further implications for Healing in your life.
The North Node represents the kind of karmic orientation or proper flow of your life. It’s referred to as ‘the purpose’. In a nutshell, if you can manage to align your lifestyle with the orientation described by the North Node a sense of flow and ease–as if the Cosmos is moving with you will be the result. So you can see why this would be beneficial for purposes of healing and functionality.
The North Node is not a specific planet. It is a direction/position relative to the overall layout of the stars. In case you didn’t know already, the stars in astrology basically serve the same functions as the numbers on an analog clock. They’re coordinates basically.
Imagine a very special clock. In addition to having moving hands, this clock also has moving numbers. Two circular rows of numbers, 1 through 12, that slowly turn, independently of each other.
So, it’s a pretty complex clock. It has 1) a moving set of hands, 2) the first row of moving numbers, and 3) a second row of moving numbers. (Like something out of Alice in Wonderland).
The hands of this clock are the Planets. The first row of moving numbers is the Constellations. The second row of numbers are the Houses. All of them are rotating about the center of the clock. (The center of the clock is Earth and is imagined as being stationary.)
Picture this image of the slowly rotating clock, with a number of pointing hands and with two nested circles of numbers at the outer edge of the circle. If you can imagine that you’ll see that if at any given moment, you yelled ‘Freeze!’, like a galactic game of musical chairs, each hand would be pointing toward the edge of the clock at a specific point. If you follow the direction that the hand is pointing, you’ll first come to a number on that inner circle of numbers, and if you keep moving out to the edge, you’ll get to another number on that outer circle of numbers.
If you imagined all of that, you’ve kind of got the whole picture. (At this point, you can probably see why people preferred to represent the positions using pictures of Horseys and such. 
Kind of beats using numbers by a longshot.)
So each hand of the clock is a planet. It points to a number on the inner circle of numbers (a constellation, or Sign). And it also points to a number on the outer circle (a House - really just means a 30-degree arc, or section, of the circle).
That’s the whole deal.
What makes all of this more than just a bizarre Rubik’s cube is that every single point on that clock is invested with MEANING. This, as it turns out, is a MEANING clock. It tells us what MEANING-time it is. People criticizing astrology often say, ‘Give me a break!!! How could stars control what happens in your life!’. That’s a bit like saying ‘How could a clock make me leave my office or go to bed?!’ The clock doesn’t physically make you leave your office. It lets you know that it’s the time of day when many people like to leave the office and go home. It doesn’t force you to go to bed, it lets you know that it’s time to go to bed. Your calendar doesn’t force you to wear a jacket. It lets you know that it’s the time of year when it might make sense to dress more warmly. And so on.
Astrology is a complex clock that tracks rhythms of MEANING. A skilled person can apply this to track the rhythms of life. The stars (or more accurately, the Earth’s position vis-a-vis the stars) don’t necessarily IMPOSE that meaning. They just track it reliably; like a good clock.
Hmmm… Didn’t plan to type all of this. It belongs on the astrology thread.
